Winter City itself has a leading position in the Northern Alliance.
The major reason why the college alliance that Zhao Xu belonged to in his previous life was able to develop in full swing was because most of their birth points were near Winter City and they could smoothly rely on Winter City's own prosperous resources.
And this city also has a very outstanding feature, that is, it is very tolerant.
Even the drow elves who live underground can find a roof over their head in this city without being expelled because of their skin color or alignment.
In his previous life, Zhao Xu, from the time he entered the game until before time travel, the main axis of his entire gaming career revolved around Winter City.
No matter how long it took for him to fish and dry his nets, he had personally measured every step on the most lively "Wall Street" in the winter city.
That's why Zhao Xu felt particularly warm when he saw the "Winter City" of ten years ago again.
He never expected that he would be transported to the "Winter City" by the portal.
In this city where Zhang Qi and his classmates relied on for survival in the early days.
More importantly, in the "Falling Star Lake" less than a day's journey from this city, an unprecedented battle between players broke out in the past life, within a week.
Someone has made statistics. Among the players in Winter City at this time, more than 90% have paid resurrection stones for "Falling Star Lake".
It was a big storm that originated from the player's sense of justice and eventually swept through all the districts around Winter City.
"Hey, friend." Suddenly Zhao Xu noticed someone tapping him behind him.
Fortunately, the opponent didn't use too much force, otherwise the "Star Cloak"'s own defense ability would be triggered.
"Huh?" Zhao Xu turned his head at this time.
But found that he had to lower his head to see the other person.
A halfling rogue wearing brass-studded leather armor.
"You called me?" Zhao Xu asked questioningly.
"Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Shibu. I see that such a huge scythe is very heavy on your back. Do you want to sell it to me? Recycle it at a high price."
Zhao Xu looked at the "+1 Netherworld" giant scythe on his body at this time. It was indeed quite large in size, but obviously the other party regarded it as a refined product
Zhao Xu looked at the cunning look on this player's face and realized that he had overestimated it. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Then how much do you plan to pay?"
At this time, pedestrians on the street were rubbing shoulders and passing by each other. Even if a few looked curiously, it didn't last long.
"Well, hey, I really like this piece of equipment, so I'll pay four times the market price."
Zhao Xu thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.
Could it be that the "Thriller" who once owned this "magic scythe" was the ancestor of the halfling in front of him
It's just that Zhao Xu just thought about it and automatically denied this possibility. Where did the player's ancestors come from.
"Look, it's not bad, it's a full eighty gold coins." At this time, the halfling wanderer said with a bewitching tone.
So dark.
It is indeed the freest and most chaotic Winter City.
Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing after hearing the halfling's slanderous tone.
"Well, you'd better keep your eighty gold coins in your pocket." Zhao Xu nodded.
After that, Zhao Xu turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.
The halfling looked at the sound of Zhao Xu leaving and said quickly: "Hey, don't leave. Who has more than 100 gold coins in the players' pockets?"
But Zhao Xu ignored it.
Seeing that Zhao Xu really ignored him, the halfling couldn't help but stamp his feet and thought to himself, "If I had known I would add 150 more gold coins, I could break through your psychological defense. Hey, the giant scythe just looked like a fine product." .”
"Looking at the boy's dazed look, he doesn't seem to know that the equipment in his hand is actually a fine product of three hundred gold coins. Why doesn't he listen to me? Hey, this is a price difference of nearly two hundred gold coins." The halfling couldn't bear it. He shook his head.
"It's just a little strange, why does the sickle have no shadow even under the sun?"
Suddenly, his eyes looked forward with an unbelievable look, and he kept mumbling to himself: "Magic weapon? Or one with special effects?"
"Except for that guy, how can any player afford eight thousand gold coins?"
At this time, Zhao Xu followed the flow of people in front of him to the "grocery market".
The "Grocery Market" in Winter City is a temporarily rented free stall, divided into a paid part and a free part.
In his previous life, when Zhao Xu was a level 1 warrior, he was encouraged by his classmates to participate in a fight with weapons at the grocery market.
Later, after he was arrested by the sheriff, he worked hard to level up for a period of time in order to win the next battle.
In the low-level stage, whoever has a harder fist will be able to convince others with his reasoning.
Watching those players gathered in the corner of the free zone, selling items obtained in the wild such as animal skins and handmade simple weapons.
There are even a few players who have been under the poverty line for a long time, and the thick cloth armor they wear is full of wounds, and even the cotton wadding inside has been turned out.
With a look of sympathy, Zhao Xu threw down some coins and bought a few empty flat-mouthed glass bottles as containers for future potions.
Once a player's adventure in the wild does not form a positive snowball, it is easy for the capital chain to break, and then fall into an endless cycle of damaged equipment, unable to defeat monsters, unable to defeat monsters, unable to repair equipment.
Then play this monster-fighting game into a part-time job game.
As a city that he was born in, Zhao Xu naturally knew which tavern to go to for information the fastest.
After a while, he walked into a pub called "Drunken Dream".
Even though it was daytime, the tavern was still bustling with people. Was there someone holding a full bucket of wine and toasting desperately.
It seems that you can't vent your inner unhappiness until you finish drinking.
And Zhao Xu didn't try to provoke drunkards, not even players.
He walked directly to the kitchen quietly and observed it, and then he roughly understood.
But Zhao Xu didn't hesitate for too long. He walked gently to the bartender and asked in a low voice: "Who is the most flexible with information here?"
It's a pity that the big boss who is the most flexible about the future of Winter City will not come to Winter City until three months later, otherwise he would not have to go out of his way to inquire in a roundabout way.
Zhao Xu wanted to rely on himself to look for clues about the portals around Winter City, but it was really like finding a needle in a haystack.
So he needs to borrow someone else's hand.
This is also the role of big forces.
The bartender looked at Zhao Xu with disdain and continued to wipe his glass.
Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the bartender who would chat and spank him in the future would also have such a realistic scene.
Zhao Xu also sensibly pushed a silver coin over at this time.
Only then did the bartender, who was wearing a white scarf, look favorably at her. He whispered directly: "There is a rich lady upstairs now. I think you can go up and ask."
After Zhao Xu heard this, he walked directly to the room upstairs without saying anything else.
It's just that the bartender looked at Zhao Xu walking upstairs with a look of pity in his eyes, but he didn't regret it at all.
Because he knew that after a while he would have an extra gold coin in his pocket.
That rich lady, Ms. Wolan, was mentioned by Zhao Xu in his previous life.
The other party connected with many mine lords in Falling Star Lake, and from that point on, they controlled the ore management rights from Falling Star Lake to Winter City.
However, in the later period of Winter City, there was no trace of the wealthy Ms. Wallan.
Zhao Xu quickly passed the review of the two guards in the box and successfully entered the box.
"Do you have something to ask of me?" Wolan is an ordinary player, but today he has controlled the lives of countless players by relying on the power of Falling Star Lake.
"I would like to ask you to help me find out some information." Zhao Xu said neither humble nor overbearing.
At this time, several other players who had played well with Wolan also looked over, "Ha, Wolan, are you interested in the little fresh meat again?"
He looked like he was judging Zhao Xu.
Too high
Zhao Xu felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the minds of the people in front.
"Well. Can you pay the price?" Suddenly Wolan looked at Zhao Xu's cloak with interest and said.
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was a little confused. He didn't know and thought he had gone to some cottage to meet the boss or something.
In just one and a half months, a privileged class has been formed among players
"Then what price do you need?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Like the Netherworld Scythe behind you? Or like the shining cloak on your body?" Wolan said to Zhao Xu.
"These are not for sale." Zhao Xu said simply.
Zhao Xu didn't understand. He just came to ask for news. Where did all these messy things come from. Nowadays, when asking for information and paying for chips, why is it the other party’s designation
"I didn't say I wanted to buy it." Suddenly, Wo Lan's cold voice came out from behind Zhao Xu.
The two guards who originally guarded the door also turned sideways and blocked Zhao Xu's actions.
"This is it?" Zhao Xu turned back to look at Wolan with a confused expression.
He is obviously very charming, but he doesn't have that sarcastic face, right
On the first day I met a player, I was forced to buy equipment
"Take it." Suddenly Wolan took out a bag full of gold coins from his pocket and threw it on the table.
At first glance, it must be close to a thousand.
Even the players who were bragging and chatting with Wolan couldn't help but take a few deep breaths when they saw this scene.
They are very aware of the current market price of gold coins in exchange for RMB.
One thousand gold coins to buy your own "cloak" and "scythe"
Zhao Xu almost didn't calculate the account clearly.
And he also began to feel a little irritated. It was fine to meet someone who was like this, but it was also like this when he came to inquire about news.
"You can keep it for yourself."
Zhao Xu finally understood why the wealthy Ms. Wolan suddenly disappeared after the Battle of Falling Star Lake. She had already accumulated a large amount of initial wealth, but she was still unable to snowball and spread her influence throughout the north.
Feelings are stupid.
"Stop him, and I will share the money with him." At this time, Wolan's cold voice came from behind.
