Since the elixir was taken away by the old monk by 10%, and Dugu Zhuo was informed of the usage of each elixir, the player can click on the elixir to see the effect of the elixir described by the old monk.

For example, in Ye Jian's hands, there are two identical Ji-Building Pills, one is top-grade and can gain 60,000 experience points after taking it, and the other is low-grade one, which only has 40,000 experience points after taking it.

"Zhuji Pill, Buxue Pill, Buqi Pill... These pills are superior to the herbs on the market, but they are not irreplaceable pills," Ye Jian analyzed, "You shouldn't exchange these for silver taels, but It’s for spirit stones, and the price can even be higher.”

Ye Zhou said: "Cousin, spirit stones can be exchanged for money. I have already planned to charge tens of thousands of spirit stones to establish sects."

Ye Jian said bitterly: "Using money to pile up resources is a bad idea. If you want to start a school, there are too many places to use money. If you keep charging money, it will be a bottomless pit!"

"But I'm not short of money..." Thinking that the person in front of him is the manager of his own fund, Ye Zhou said cautiously, "I'm not short of money, am I?"

Ye Jian flicked his forehead: "It's not a matter of lack of money, it's that the game can't be played like this. And if you invest too much money in the game, will the second uncle and aunt misunderstand that you are playing with things and lose your mind, and worry about it?" Are you playing games regardless of your body?"

Ye Zhou wanted to say something else, but Dugu Zhuo took his hand and said, "I didn't intend to let Ye Zhou charge money for spirit stones. The reason why I'm short of silver taels is because I think spirit stones are more profitable than silver taels."

Ye Jian analyzed: "Whether it is good or not is relative. You must know that there are many types of players in the game. Some are willing to spend a lot of money on the game, some just want to rely on their own efforts to improve the strength of the game account, and there are even businessmen who rely on games to make money. And the studio. You have such good resources as elixirs in your hands, you can completely classify these players and divide and conquer them to maximize the benefits."

Dugu Zhuo even asked the waiter in the shop to send him a pen and paper, and quickly recorded it.

Ye Jian: "Pillions like Zhuji Pill, Enriching Blood Pill, Buqi Pill, and Changing Pill, which are very useful for upgrading and playing dungeons, before there are better pills in the game, you can pay a little premium Replace them with spirit stones at one point, and use them for players who are willing to recharge.

"You open another store and exchange spirit stones for silver taels. Even if silver taels are a scarce item in the game, but because spirit stones can be exchanged for real currency, there are merchants who make money from games willing to exchange silver taels for spirit stones. In order to receive more If you have more taels of silver, you can make a little profit and collect it with spirit stones at a high price. Players who are short of money will come to sell the taels of silver.

"After switching to spirit stones, some self-sufficient players who play games may use these spirit stones to exchange for your premium pills, so that you can earn back the spirit stones that you gave away when exchanging silver. "

Ye Zhou was dumbfounded when he heard that: "Brother, you are a money-making perpetual motion machine!"

Dugu Zhuo glanced at what he had recorded just now while Ye Jian stopped to drink water, and asked, "You didn't mention Zhuyan Pill."

Ye Jian: "The crowd that these two pills are facing has to be changed again. How much silver do players have in their hands? No matter how much they earn, they will not be able to compare with real rich npcs. Jiuchuan City is a big city , we can try to sell Zhuyan Pill to the inner housewives of some big families."

Dugu Zhuo: "..."

Ye Zhou: "..."

As expected of a person who can sell rotten vegetable leaves and eggs to Yongye District, his thinking is different from normal people!

After some business training, Ye Jian saw that there was still an hour before Ye Zhou went offline, so he called the waiter to check out, and planned to take two business newbies to the bustling Jiuchuan City to find business opportunities.

Before leaving the restaurant, the three of them frantically smashed the foundation building pills, trying to get their level up to level 30. This time, as a member of the sect, Ye Jian got the foundation building pills for free.

Ye Jian originally planned to let the two of them get stuck at level 29, and rely on eating Jidan to accumulate all the experience of level 30-40. He wanted to take advantage of the game's loopholes. Although eating Jidan above level 30 will no longer gain experience, level 29 can always Bar.

It's a pity that the game is very rigorous, even if you take the Foundation Establishment Pill at level 29, once the experience has increased enough to reach level 30, eating the Foundation Establishment Pill will have no effect.

Ye Jian could only give up.

The current leaderboard is Yimeng Xiaoyao who reached level 31 by crazily absorbing human energy. Dugu Zhuo and the other three rushed to level 30 in one fell swoop. Second, it is not very eye-catching and has not attracted the attention of other players.

When Ye Jian paid the bill, he gave a little extra tip to the waiter in the restaurant, and asked him about the rich people in Jiuchuan City.

The restaurant is the easiest place to get information, don't underestimate the waiter in the shop, they know a lot of things, but they just won't talk about it.

Dugu Zhuo also came to the shop Xiaoer to inquire about news before, but only got some useless information.

At this time, the waiter in the shop took the money, knowing everything he could say, he immediately told Ye Jian the news about the wealthy households in the city, and proudly claimed that their restaurant belonged to the second wife of the Liu family in Jiuchuan City. Dowry, their restaurant shopkeeper can talk to the second wife's butler!

Ye Jian smiled slightly, took out two Zhuyan Pills and handed them to the waiter, and asked him to sell the Zhuyan Pills to the second lady for 10,000 taels through the shopkeeper and the butler of the restaurant, and he would share 10% of the money sold. In addition, 10% will be used to manage the shopkeeper and the butler of the restaurant.

He told the waiter that he still has Zhuyan Pill in his hand, this is a long-term business, the waiter should not raise the price for the sake of money, if he knows, he will not ask the waiter to be a middleman in the future.

The waiter in the shop responded repeatedly, and happily took the pill and sold it for money.

Ye Zhou whispered: "This elixir is not permanent, will it be too expensive?"

Ye Jian shook his head: "Inflation in this game is severe, and the prices in Jiuchuan City are even higher than those in Penglai Town. We ate seven hundred taels of silver at the banquet just now. How much do you calculate the daily turnover of this restaurant? This is just One of the properties of the second wife of the Liu family, she has at least ten million taels, and selling for ten thousand taels is not high.

"She is the housewife of a wealthy family in the Liu Mansion. She must know many housewives from wealthy families. These are all rich. After she uses Zhuyan Pill and tastes the benefits of this medicine, she will definitely continue to use it. Buy, how long is this Yan Yan Pill going to last?"

Dugu Zhuo said: "The quality multiplied by the hour is the duration, and the quality of the Zhuyan Pill I refined is 120."

"120 hours is ten days, and the time limit is just right." Ye Jian nodded.

Ye Zhou worried, "Will Mrs. Liu be angry if she suddenly fails?"

"I'll be angry, but I've tasted beauty once, and I'll definitely buy it again." Ye Jian showed a profiteer's smile.

Dugu Zhuo calculated the cost of his alchemy and the number of alchemy in one furnace, and suddenly felt that the astronomical figure of ten million taels of silver seemed to be earned within a few days.

It was rare for him to take the initiative to say to Ye Jian: "Cousin, add a game friend."

Before, I thought it was enough for Ye Zhou and Ye Jian to be friends, but now Dugu Zhuo thinks that such talents must be made friends.

Ye Jian sent a friend application to Dugu Zhuo. After adding each other as friends, Dugu Zhuo marked the word "rich" after Ye Jian's name.

Next, Ye Jian took the two of them to go shopping, and walked the places Dugu Zhuo had once walked. Relying on the tip offensive that money can turn ghosts, he got a lot of news that Dugu Zhuo didn't ask at all.

For example, after players pay enough silver deposits, they can rent shops in Jiuchuan City. Ye Jian asked Dugu Zhuo for the start-up money of the sect, and rented two shops in a prime location, one specialized in selling pills, and the other a silver shop dedicated to both cash register and cashier.

After opening the store, Ye Jian asked responsibly, "How is the security of this game? Our two stores will not be robbed, right?"

Dugu Zhuo smiled and said, "It's better to be robbed, we can justifiably snatch it back."

Ye Jian, who was planning to go to Ren Yazi to hire two thugs, saw Dugu Zhuo's smile and decided to save the money.

In addition, Ye Jian also asked from the owner of the jade shop that the largest pawn shop in Jiuchuan City will auction some treasures in two days. Players and NPCs can participate, but each participant must pay a thousand spirit stones as a deposit , If you want a box, you need to spend 100,000 spirit stones, but the box can accommodate 8 people, and these people don't need to pay extra spirit stones.

Ye Zhou was very interested in the auction. He wanted to participate, but when he heard that the time was 19-21 pm, he couldn't log in at all, so he lowered his head and said, "It's enough to pay two people, you go, I'll can not go."

Even if he wanted to surf the Internet secretly, the helmet would be confiscated by the nurse.

Seeing his cousin's sad expression, Ye Jian thought for a while and said, "You can buy another helmet to transfer the account."

Ye Zhou's eyes lit up.

Ye Jian said: "I can give you a new game helmet, but I will supervise you in the game. Occasional activities like this can be online, but it is definitely not normal, and you can't stay up late, you know?"

Ye Zhou nodded repeatedly. After thanking his cousin, he couldn't help but look at Dugu Zhuo and said, "I can play with you for a while longer."

Dugu Zhuo raised his hand distressedly and wanted to touch his head, but he caught sight of Ye Jian's vigilant eyes from the corner of his eye and could only give up, and said with a gentle smile, "I can't stay up late, and I will supervise you together."

After reaching a consensus, Ye Jian bought the box with a big sum of money. He said that he would not be short of money in the future anyway, so why bother with this Lingshi, he didn't want to sit downstairs and squeeze the bench with others.

All the money and spirit stones of their sect have been handed over to Ye Jian for safekeeping. Dugu Zhuo and Ye Zhou just listen to what Ye Jian says. Besides, Dugu Zhuo was willing to be alone with Ye Zhou, but it was a pity that there would be an extra Ye Zhou in the box.

In the following days, Ye Zhou worked and rested regularly, behaved well, but privately cooperated with Ye Jian to transfer the game account to the new helmet, and he hid the helmet in a hidden place, so that the time to go online became free again.

Besides the three of them, many players also learned about the existence of this auction through other channels and missions. Some players paid a deposit. They didn't want to buy anything, but just wanted to experience the auction in the cultivation world.

On the day of the auction, Ye Zhou didn't go online in the afternoon due to a guilty conscience. He pretended to be very sleepy, had dinner early in the evening, went back to his room to rest early, and told people not to disturb him.

The gaming helmet was already put away, and Ye Zhou was always obedient and never lied, and the person in charge of taking care of him didn't suspect it either. The nurse put Ye Zhou to bed and left.

At 18:30 in the afternoon, Ye Zhou came to the door in a wheelchair like a thief, quietly locked the door for the first time, and then took out the game helmet and went online with confidence.

He and Dugu Zhuo agreed to go online at 18:50, and the result of going online 20 minutes earlier was that this time Dugu Zhuo didn't wait at the place where he went offline.

However, after Ye Zhou went online, he immediately received Dugu Zhuo's paper crane voice transmission: "I was in the level 30 mass grave dungeon. I estimated the wrong time. I will go to you in 10 minutes at most."

"It's okay, I went online early, I'm not in a hurry." Ye Zhou replied.

The person who played the dungeon with Dugu Zhuo was Ye Jian, and he immediately sent a paper crane voice transmission to Ye Zhou: "Don't come, it will scare you, I regret it very much now, ten minutes later... Ah! Don't come here! "

Hearing Ye Jian's screams, Ye Zhou secretly smiled.

He walked into the auction house alone, and suddenly felt a little lonely when he saw players and npcs coming and going around him.

Obviously, he played the game alone at first, but since he met Dugu Zhuo, he never played alone again. Every time he went online, Dugu Zhuo was waiting for him, and he never separated.

At this time, returning to the original state, I was a little uncomfortable.

Ye Zhou came to the box for the three of them. The box was very luxurious, and there were a lot of desserts on the table. Ye Zhou's usual diet is a healthy meal that controls sugar, salt and oil. He is relatively restrained in life, and he especially likes to eat desserts in games.

But at this moment, he was alone, Ye Zhou felt that the box was a bit empty, and even the desserts were tasteless.

He simply left the box and looked down at the auction venue from the guardrail on the second floor. He saw the busy people below, and the game was so realistic that even the preparations looked like that.

At this time, guests from the boxes on the second floor came one after another. Except for a few players, probably no player would spend so much Lingshi to buy a box, and the guests in the other boxes were basically NPCs.

Ye Zhou made way for the npcs, and was about to retreat to his box, when he saw a man in white clothes, who obviously didn't block his face but couldn't see his face clearly, flew upstairs.

There seemed to be a cloud of mist on this man's face, Ye Zhou couldn't see his face no matter what.

Ye Zhou didn't want to cause trouble, but for some reason, he couldn't help but look at this man's face.

Seeing Ye Zhou staring at him, the man in white stopped and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I don't know, I'm sorry." Ye Zhou quickly apologized. He wanted to look away, but he couldn't do it at all. The man in white attracted him deeply.

The man in white looked Ye Zhou up and down, then came to Ye Zhou in a flash, and tapped Ye Zhou's forehead with his fingertips.

"Huh?" Ye Zhou rubbed his forehead in confusion.

The man in white tapped Ye Zhou's forehead and disappeared out of thin air.

At this time, a system prompt came from Ye Zhou's ear: "Ding, congratulations to player Ye Zhou for triggering the role-playing mode of the game. In the future main storyline, you will play an important npc. When this npc is needed to appear, you will become Become him. If the fate of this npc can be changed in the final main storyline, the player will get the legendary sword of creation—Su Jian."

"Huh?" Ye Zhou rubbed his eyebrows, "What mode is this? How can the main plot of the game and NPCs be replaced by players?"

Why did you choose him, just because you met the man in white who couldn't see his face clearly? The first main storyline they encountered before was the story of the sword master Xuanjian, and if he plays this npc well, he will get the plain sword, so did he trigger the main storyline

Ye Zhou asked excitedly, "Who is the npc I want to play?"

He was talking to himself, and didn't expect the system to answer, but this time the system actually answered: "The npc the player will play is the elder Xingchuifeng of Qingtian Sword School, Ye Zhou."
