The Truth of Magic

Chapter 550 The Coming World Change

After receiving the high reward from that family from the underground alliance, Zhao Xu suddenly became interested in the "Bounty Hunter" business.

However, what he prefers to choose is not to hold the reward of "money", but more to materials, land, magic books, mysterious items and so on.

Anyway, he who can cast identification at any time, no treasure can hide.

Especially when he has the "teleportation technique", the whole Arthur has no distance limit for him.

Ordinary five-ring mages only have one or two five-ring spell slots at level 9. They use teleportation to reach a certain destination, and sometimes they have to wait until the spell slots are restored the next day to come back.

But Zhao Xu, who had potential points for battery life, didn't have this problem at all.

Even now, with the cooperation of the advanced arbitrary door and the teleportation technique, he has enough confidence to kill the peripheral forces of most of Arthur's forces.

The teleportation technique ranges from "very familiar", "extremely researched", "occasionally seen", "seen once" to "nowhere found" according to the familiarity of the destination.

The corresponding results of "correct target", "wrong target", "similar area", and "death" are also possible.

Like Zhao Xu now, he would basically use Sihuan's "detection" spell first to search for the details of the destination first.

In this way, he is deemed to have studied the destination, and entered the category of "extremely researched" on the spot. In this way, the probability of the target being correct is already about 94%, and the death rate is only 1%.

So Zhao Xu was able to travel through more than a dozen places in an hour.

The power of spells is also in his hands, magnified without limit.

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, who was still in the meeting in the town hall, might have received a trigger message from a certain enchantment, and teleported away in an instant.

Then, in less than half a minute, he finished his work and came back to continue the meeting just now, which was faster than going to the bathroom just now.

No one knew that he had crossed thousands of miles in an instant.

In the following period of time, Zhao Xu also silently sent power to his friends in the previous life, including a few attribute books, which he also distributed.

Zhao Xu also realized 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" approached, everyone in the town seemed to feel a solemn atmosphere.

Near the mining area of ​​the small town, a huge warehouse was inexplicably rebuilt to store supplies, and players and local guards were hired to conduct 24-hour patrols.

Including the many forces in the entire Northland, the assets under Zhao Xu's name continued to increase, and all kinds of land and materials were collected under his name.

It has even caused food price fluctuations in the entire Northland.

Later, it was alarmed that the Temple of the Harvest Goddess came forward to investigate, and it was only calmed down by the intervention of the Temple of the Goddess of Magic.

This also drove Zhao Xu to expand the scope of dispatching food, and the treasury funds he had obtained from the six sisters were slowly exhausted.

At this time, Zhao Xu was still silently accumulating everything.

Even on the forum, players in the Northland have raised doubts more than once, doubting whether there are forces secretly accumulating strength and preparing for war recently.

The powerful chambers of commerce gathered by several major players such as "Shining Gold Coins", "Glorious North", and "United Business Alliance" also gradually contacted them, 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 who were shining gold coins, and promoting a food transaction 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 gold coins."

"As long as we wait until the autumn harvest this year, we can use capital manipulation to provide you with grain at the price you bid on the black market at a stable and low price."

This woman is "Anqier", one of the key giants who shines gold coins. The other party is a rich woman. The first step into the game is not to use the Arthur gold coins traded in the black market for equipment purchases, but to invest in ship goods in trade.

Even starting from a sampan, in just six months, relying on players to connect with the more advanced business model of the earth, it has expanded into a major business alliance giant in the entire Northland.

However, Zhao Xu knew that Arthur's player's chamber of commerce could quickly form a large scale, partly because of the "player" being able to use the characteristics of the resurrection stone to maintain it.

The giants of these chambers of commerce are basically level 1 players. After being assassinated for 20 minutes, they can register a trumpet to inherit the inheritance.

As for the players under the Chamber of Commerce, they are even less afraid of death. If the bullying is too much, it will even attract passers-by players to join the counterattack obligatoryly.

The advantages of the "resurrection stone" and "registered account" are maximized by the players. As long as the players are given a set of rules, they can play with the rules.

Therefore, the major forces in the North suddenly realized that the usual means of dealing with ordinary chambers of commerce had lost their effect, especially the players would not be controlled by spiritual spells.

This is also the reason why these player chambers of commerce can develop rapidly without being eaten away by investors.

In other words, these chambers of commerce are also aware of the barriers above, so they all use the means of Internet finance on earth to rapidly expand their scale.

Now it seems that the natural risk is not small, and even once this expansion stops, the entire chamber of commerce may fall apart on the spot if it cannot keep up.

However, Zhao Xu also knew that no matter how good these chambers of commerce were, they would basically be eaten away by Arthur's major forces after time travel.

Because all the players have become living Arthurs, they will also die, and they can no longer buy an account to start again. Naturally, the means that the Players Chamber of Commerce originally relied on have also become a bubble under the scorching sun.

"Miss Angel, my request is very simple, that is, to provide this batch of food before July. If you can't do it, I will naturally find someone else."

Zhao Xu said politely.

If the delivery is delayed until after the crossing, the price of grain in the Northland will skyrocket at that time, and whether the shining gold coins exist or not is another matter, the contract made now is meaningless at all.

"But Mr. Zhong Xia, 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 forced the major forces to open their granaries to stabilize the price of grain."

"If we didn't have the confidence to get through the upper-level relations of the forces, otherwise we wouldn't dare to give you a guarantee that a certain amount of food will be delivered in the autumn harvest." The player Angel said seriously, and at this time he was accompanied by two people who looked like secretaries , was lowering his head to sort out the thick stack of parchment in front of him, and took it out at any time and handed it to Angel, the leader of this negotiation.

The other party also brought four master-like entourages to follow outside. Two are the best players among the current players, and the other two are natives of Arthur. Zhao Xu has met each other in his previous life, and they are Betty's well-known adventurers. , over level 10 they are obviously hired to protect this time of negotiation.

On Zhao Xu's side, only Zheng Xinyun was brought in to assist him. Recently, in addition to continuing her job as a pastor, Zheng Xinyun has also acted as Zhao Xu's personal secretary, and by the way, enjoys the monthly salary Zhao Xu gives her.

As for the conversation between the two sides, the "automatic shorthand quill" on the side is constantly writing the memorandum.

During the period, the few people who were shining gold coins couldn't help but glanced at the pen, and checked the recorded content several times.

"Ms. Angel, now you want me to deliver magic items that are about half the value of the equivalent food, and provide them to you as a bargain, but the delivery time is delayed until autumn, isn't it a little unreasonable?"

Zhao Xu pointed out.

It has to be said that "White Wolf with Empty Gloves", relying on providing channels to match the two parties' transaction model, did bring a lot of opportunities at the beginning, which is also the reason why these player chambers of commerce can develop rapidly.

However, it was Zhao Xu who had a stronger bargaining power in front of them at the moment.

"Mr. Zhong Xia, according to my information, the batch of magic weapons and magic armor in your hand has no plan to be put into use before July. The equipment that the town needs to change defense has already been registered and issued. So now Hand it over to us first, and you have nothing to lose."

"We can even give you an additional 5% discount on the food price we give you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xu also realized that the player under him must have an insider, so he revealed all the news, allowing the opponent to find out the cards.

"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 price, I will eat as much as you have."

"As for the rest of the promise, let's not talk about it." After speaking, Zhao Xu turned around and left.

"What the hell is it, Mr. Zhong Xia, you have to complete these deliveries before July?"

The player Angel couldn't help standing up at this time. She, who was originally gentle and elegant, lost her posture for the first time, "It's not possible, Mr. Zhong Xia, you have heard the news that the orc empire next door can cross the ice mountain range and attack. ?”

"You know it's already June, and it's less than a month away."

Speaking of player Angel, she shook her head in disbelief.

"No."

Suddenly Zhao Xu's tone paused, and he looked at the other party with a gentle expression.

"This is a time, involving you and me, a bigger change of the times."
