After receiving a high reward from that family from the underground alliance, Zhao Xu suddenly became interested in the "bounty hunter" business.
However, what he prefers is not to hold a "money" reward, but more towards materials, land, magic books, mysterious items, etc.
Anyway, since he can use the identification technique at any time, he can't hide any treasures.
Especially when he possesses the "Teleportation Technique", there is no distance limit for Arthur as a whole.
As for ordinary fifth-level wizards, they only have one or two fifth-level spell slots at level 9. They use teleportation to reach a certain destination, and sometimes they have to wait until the next day when their spell slots are restored before they can rush back.
Zhao Xu, who has potential points for battery life, does not have this problem at all.
Even now, with the cooperation of advanced arbitrary doors and teleportation techniques, he can kill the peripheral forces of most of Arthur's forces with enough certainty.
The teleportation technique ranges from "very familiar", "very well researched", "occasionally seen", "seen once" to "never found this place" according to the familiarity of the destination.
The corresponding outcomes of "correct target", "wrong target", "similar area", and "disaster" are also possible.
Like Zhao Xu now, he will basically use the "detection" spell of the fourth ring to first search for the details of the destination.
In this way, he was deemed to have researched the destination and entered the category of "extremely well-researched" on the spot. The probability of the target being correct was about 94%, and the fatality was only 1%.
Therefore, Zhao Xu was able to travel to more than a dozen places in one hour.
The power of the spell was also amplified unlimitedly in his hands.
It can even be said that the current Zhao Xu is not like Arthur's traditional mage, but a superpower who can do whatever he wants.
He was still having a meeting in the town council hall, but he might have received a trigger message from a certain barrier and teleported away in an instant.
Then in less than half a minute, he finished his work and came back to continue the meeting faster than he had just gone to the toilet.
No one knew that he had covered thousands of miles in an instant.
During the following period, Zhao Xu also silently sent power to his friends in his previous life, including several attribute books, which he also distributed.
Zhao Xu also implemented some "magic equipment" that didn't seem too excessive now in the form of tasks.
Especially as the completion time of the "Falling Star Town Mage Association" approaches, everyone in the town seems to feel a solemn atmosphere.
Near the mining area of the town, a huge warehouse was inexplicably rebuilt to store supplies, and players and local guards were hired to conduct 24-hour patrols.
Including many forces in the entire Northland, the assets under Zhao Xu's name are also constantly increasing, and all kinds of land and materials have been collected under his name.
It has even caused food price fluctuations throughout the Northland.
It was later so alarmed that the Temple of the Goddess of Harvest came forward to investigate, but it was only the intervention of the Temple of the Goddess of Magic that calmed things down.
This also drove Zhao Xu to expand the scope of food dispatch, and the treasury funds previously obtained from the six sisters were slowly exhausted.
At this time, Zhao Xu was still quietly accumulating everything.
Even on the forum, players in the Northland have raised questions more than once, wondering whether there are forces secretly accumulating strength recently and preparing for war.
The powerful chambers of commerce, which were brought together by major players such as "Shining Gold Coin", "Glory North", and "United Business Alliance", also slowly got in touch, trying to figure out Zhao Xu's intentions and conduct transactions with them.
At this time, Zhao Xu was in the reception room, entertaining several high-level players with shining gold coins, and promoting a food deal with them.
"Mr. Zhongxia." The leading woman gently picked up the carved ceramic teacup, took a sip and said, "You have to believe in our ability to shine with gold coins."
"As long as we wait until this year's autumn harvest, we can use capital manipulation to provide you with the grain you bid on the black market at a stable and low price."
This woman is none other than "Angel", one of the key giants of Shining Gold Coins. She comes from a wealthy family. Her first step into the game was not to use the Arthur gold coins traded on the black market to purchase equipment, but to invest in ship products. in trade.
Even starting from a sampan, in just six months, it relied on players to connect with the earth's more advanced business models, and expanded into a major business alliance giant in the entire Northland.
However, Zhao Xu knew that the rapid expansion of the player's chamber of commerce in Arthur was partly due to the "players" being able to use the characteristics of the resurrection stone to sustain it.
The giants of these chambers of commerce are basically level 1 players. After being assassinated for 20 minutes, they can register an alt account to inherit the inheritance.
The players under the Chamber of Commerce are even less afraid of death. If the bullying is excessive, it will even attract the hatred of passerby players, who will be obliged to join the counterattack.
The advantages of "Resurrection Stone" and "Registered Account" have been maximized by players. As long as players are given a set of rules, they can play tricks within the rules.
Therefore, the major forces in the North suddenly realized that the usual methods of dealing with ordinary chambers of commerce were ineffective, especially since players would not be controlled by mental spells.
This is also the reason why these player chambers of commerce can develop rapidly and will not be cannibalized by shares.
In other words, these chambers of commerce are also aware of the barriers above, so they have used Internet finance methods on earth to rapidly expand their scale.
Now it seems that the natural risk is not small. Even if this expansion stops, the entire chamber of commerce may fall apart on the spot if it cannot keep up.
However, Zhao Xu also knows that no matter how prosperous these chambers of commerce are now, after time travel, they will basically be cannibalized by Arthur's major forces.
Because all the players have become living Arthurs, they will die and will never be able to buy an account again. Naturally, the means that the Players Chamber of Commerce originally relied on have also become a bubble in the scorching sun.
"Miss Angel, my request is very simple, that is, provide this batch of food before July. If you can't do it, I will naturally look for someone else."
Zhao Xu said tactfully.
If the delivery is delayed until after time travel, the price of food in the North will skyrocket at that time, and whether the shining gold coins exist or not is another question, and the contract made now has no meaning at all.
"But Mr. Zhongxia, you have to understand us. You have to know that in the past few months, a large amount of grain has been withdrawn from the market, and even major forces have been forced to open their granaries to stabilize grain prices."
"Unless we are confident that we can get through to the upper echelons of the power, we would not dare to give you a guarantee that we will be able to deliver a certain amount of food during the autumn harvest." Player Angel said sternly. At this time, he was also accompanied by two people who looked like secretaries. , was lowering his head to sort out a thick stack of parchment in front of him, and would take it out at any time and hand it to Angel, the leader of this negotiation.
The other party also brought four master-like followers to follow him outside. Two of them are the best among the current players, and the other two are locals from Arthur. Zhao Xu had met the other party in his previous life and was a well-known adventurer of Betty. , over 10 levels of them were clearly employed to protect this negotiation.
On Zhao Xu's side, he only invited Zheng Xinyun to assist. Recently, in addition to continuing her duties as a pastor, Zheng Xinyun has acted as Zhao Xu's personal secretary, and by the way, she is enjoying the monthly salary Zhao Xu gives her.
As for the conversation between the two parties, the "automatic shorthand quill" on the side was constantly writing memos.
During this period, several people with shining gold coins could not help but scan the pen and check the recorded content several times.
"Ms. Angel, now you want me to deliver magic items worth about half the equivalent of grain to you as a trade-off, but the delivery time has been delayed until autumn. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
Zhao Xu pointed out.
It has to be said that the "empty wolf" model, which relies on providing channels to bring together two parties to complete transactions, did bring many opportunities at the beginning, which is also the reason why these player chambers of commerce can develop rapidly.
However, what was in front of them at this moment was Zhao Xu, who had stronger bargaining power.
"Mr. Zhongxia, according to my information, the magic weapons and magic armor in your hand are actually not planned to be put into use before July. The equipment that the town needs to replace its defense has already been stored in the warehouse, registered and issued. So now If you hand it over to us first, you won't lose anything."
"We can even give you an additional 5% discount on the price of food."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Xu also realized that the player under his control must have a mole, so he revealed all the information and let the other party find out the trump card.
"No."
Suddenly, Zhao Xu stood up.
"I have only one sentence for you. As long as the delivery can be completed when summer comes, according to the current grain prices, I will eat as much as you have."
"As for the rest of the promise, it's okay not to talk about it." After saying that, Zhao Xu was about to turn around and leave.
"What on earth makes Mr. Zhongxia have to complete these deliveries before July?"
The player Angel couldn't help but stand up at this time. She was originally gentle and generous, and she lost her posture for the first time. "It's not like that, Mr. Zhongxia, you have received the news. The Orc Empire next door can attack across the Icefield Mountains. ?”
"You know it's already June, so it's only less than a month."
As the player Angel said this, she even shook her head in disbelief.
"No."
Suddenly Zhao Xu paused and looked at the other party with a gentle expression.
"This is a bigger change of the times that involves you and me."
