Building a sect from scratch

The two of them chatted and walked, and soon arrived at a more lively "market".

This area is very close to the houses of veteran players, and is on the same street as the City Lord's Mansion, called "Chang'an Avenue".

The street is dozens of meters wide, and is scattered on both sides, dotted with many small vendors pushing carts and carrying burdens. Most of them are familiar faces from Shenyou Village. They mainly sell food, drink, and others. Some little bits and pieces.

Among them, straw and bamboo woven utensils are the most popular. Players are almost always surrounding the stall. Even the old player who brought Bai Chenxue here introduced: "The soft baskets and baskets sold by the NPC selling bamboo baskets are particularly useful in the wild. When digging for spiritual plants and ores, you can put them directly into the system backpack and save space in the Qiankun bag!

"The key is that it's cheap! There was an old player selling it before, but that player sold it at a high price, requiring three spirit stones for a basket. Later, after the NPC started selling it, the player became a second-rate dealer!"

Bai Chenxue asked curiously: "Second dealer?"

"I just get the goods from the NPC every day, and then sell them at the gate of the teleportation array. The price increases a lot. He dares to sell a small basket of ten coins for fifty coins, and he charges one cent for a large basket of twenty coins! But some players are convenient. , it’s better to buy from him.”

"It's quite dark, but it's not expensive at all!"

It is true that Taiyin Sect disciples receive a fixed "salary", also called monthly money, based on the sect's contribution value every month. The amount can reach hundreds of spirit stones, but as long as they do their daily routine every day, no matter how little it is, there will be only a few spirit stones in a month. Converted into silver taels, there are at least five or sixty taels!

In Taiping Town, a family of five only consumes less than five or sixty taels a year!

Not to mention that whether players are monks or affiliated with the Taiyin Sect, they have free accommodation in the Datong Shop and meals at the public kitchen redeemed by their contribution points, so they do not need to spend any money on daily life. In addition, the materials brought from the next book, the rewards obtained from tasks, and the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures discovered through exploration can all be sold for silver and spiritual stones. Even if you kill wild boars, you can make a lot of money - the latter directly leads to the Taiyin Sect. The price of pork in all nearby towns has dropped several times!

Therefore, for players, there is really no difference between a dozen coins and a few hundred coins compared to the spirit stones that must be spent every penny.

This value indirectly led to the explosive inflow of population in Chang'an City.

The Taiyin Sect does not collect agricultural taxes, has no oral or calculated taxes (poll tax), and does not have to serve in the military. With just a few points, it stands out among the urban forces that exploit the people up to more than 50% of the land, and is generous and cheap in hiring. Taiyin Sect disciples even attracted many bold people to move to Chang'an City.

As long as you apply for a temporary residence permit, you can apply for a piece of land at a random location in Chang'an City. Although it cannot be bought and sold freely, and it is said that it only has some "right to use", the house built on the land is actually your own house, and there are no harsh administrative taxes and land reclamation. Whatever you plant in the wasteland is your own, and there will never be a more relaxing life than this!

The villagers of Shenyou Village who have been dealing with the players for a long time also teach skills to the new arrivals...

"For example, if you want to start a food business, you don't need to do anything to fetch water or chop wood. You can go find those Taiyin Sect disciples who walk strangely, or simply shout on the street, and many will come to help! But! Remember, you don’t need to give money afterward, just give them something to eat. Even if you give them two or three coins of silver, you can’t make them happy by giving them two five-cent cakes. It’s weird, but we save it. Heart!"

Many old players have come back to their senses after being tricked by native NPCs for more than half a month, but aren't there a lot of newbies who have just arrived! With so many monks and so few people, this situation of selling cheap labor may continue for a while.

"Hey, although the money is not expensive, it can't add up to a lot! This kind of basket is consumed very quickly. A poor guy like me should buy the cheapest one if it can be cheaper! By the way! There was one a few days ago A player discovered a hidden way to get the appearance!”

The old player was like a male peacock, crazily showing off all the gossip he knew: "There is an NPC named Huang in Shenyou Village, and her tailoring skills are very good! You can ask her to make clothes! A relative of mine I found a picture on the Internet and drew it myself, and then went to Grandma Huang with various fabrics, and she actually made them! And for practicality, she spent a lot of money to collect them from NPCs in other sects. Qian Xiao, guess what? Grandma Huang actually made her a double-entry blue-quality special-effects outfit! One special-effects entry for [Invulnerability to Water and Fire], and another entry for blue-recovery acceleration, which can be used as an appearance. , and it can be used as equipment, it’s awesome!”

Bai Chenxue asked enviously: "Wow! This game also has an appearance!? Isn't that much cheaper than exchanging sect equipment?"

"How should I put it? It's about appearance, but it's actually just normal clothes. You can go to a tailor shop in Taiping Town to make them, but they can only make a few fixed styles, and they're expensive and have no special effects! And although the martial arts equipment It needs to be exchanged for contribution points and prestige points plus spiritual stones, but it is much better looking than the landlord's old money made by the tailor shop in Taiping Town! As for this Granny Huang... you have to help her, and it depends on your luck. My relatives and friends can help her! She worked for several days to get the opportunity, but it didn't cost any money! Later, I went there too, but she refused to do it for me, saying she didn't have the time. My relatives and friends said it was because my face was too dark, alas! "

Bai Chenxue sighed in disappointment: "Ah, it's just like Qi Yu, it depends on your appearance!"

"Uh... It's not that exaggerated. My relatives and friends said that she is discussing with Grandma Huang to rent out the spiritual field and open a tailor shop in the city. Then she might be able to directly spend money to buy the opportunity to customize the appearance of special effects. But you still have to prepare the materials yourself.”

"That's a great feeling! But where can I buy the same rice?"

"Night market stalls! Aren't there a lot of street stalls at the city gate every day? Although most of them are players, there are also many outside NPCs. You might be able to find good things. Even if they are not displayed, you can just grab a few. There might be some information if you ask an NPC, and it doesn’t have to be the same material, you can also look for other fabrics.”

"That makes sense, I'll go take a look later!"

"Hey, hey, why don't you add a friend and go together later? I also want to collect some materials. My relatives and friends promised me that when the tailoring starts, they will give me priority in customizing the quota! How about we go together then? ?”

Bai Chenxue said in surprise: "That's a great relationship! Thank you so much! I'll give you some spiritual grass and spiritual plants from the ground level later! I dug up a lot of golden vegetables when I had nothing to do, and they're not even worth much if I sell them. There’s no room for it in the bag!”

"Wow! I'm so jealous! You're worthy of being the master of beast control in all servers!"

"What the hell! You're just lucky! By the way, what's your ID? I'll add you as a friend!"

"No, no! I'll just add you!"

"Huh? [Yun Canghai]?"

"It's me!"

"What a fairy-like ID! It sounds great!"

"Hey hey hey thank you!"

…

Listen to me quibble about why it’s so late today. I ate mushrooms, porcini mushrooms. It was the first time I cooked them, and I didn’t use the oil. But I fried them for more than 20 minutes and it felt like they were cooked... Then I slept for a day, and my brain was a little buzzing. of.

Of course, it could also be my psychology, QAQ, I don’t care, that’s the reason for my quibbles anyway!
