Chapter 1652 Deserted Store
As mentioned before, although Jadeka has never returned to the Cassero Grassland a few times in his life, his main scope of activities is still concentrated in the northwest continent. After so many years, Well, except for Tianzhu Mountain, the old man’s knowledge of this area is obviously better than most people. It is true that due to the limitations of his strength, he was only a junior mage and had not set foot in the Ember Valley, Borderlands and Barbarian Fangs. He has never personally visited a barren savage highland in the southern part of the wilderness, but other than that, he has basically left footprints in all places on the northwest continent.
As for this popular 'gold rush triangle', Jadeka has been here countless times. Even after working with Mo Tan and others, he has never been here again. But he still knew the surrounding environment very well, and even knew such uncommon information as there was a store not far away.
“But then again.”
Lujiang was a little curious and looked back at the mercenary garrison not far away that had not yet left the sight of a few people. He wondered: “There is one not far away. If it’s a store, why are those people sleeping outside? Is it because they want to have a picnic?”
Jadeka shrugged and said with a smile: "Is it possible that the mercenary group has too many people to stay in the hotel, and even if they can stay, they are not willing to pay a large sum of money for accommodation?"
Lujiang blinked. He glanced twice: "Ah, this..."
"Hey, the outside world is different from that in Tianzhu Mountain."
Ji, who has accumulated a lot of adventure experience with Mo Tan and others Xiaoge grinned and waved He patted Lu Jiang on the shoulder like an old-timer and said with a smile: "The Innocence of Innocence is not one of those places where you can just spend a few coins and buy a lot of delicious food with just a few right clicks." The place to pack your luggage is here, It is very possible that you have worked hard for a day, but the reward is not enough to sleep in a hotel for a night."
Lu Jiang was shocked at that time and said in amazement: "Is that an exaggeration? ”
"It's not that exaggerated."
Mo Tan on the side shook his head and smiled: "Although it is indeed not as easy as a normal game, it is a bit too much to do a full day of missions and not enough to stay overnight. Of course , It is true that people rarely squander mission rewards. After all, for a normal adventurer team, supply work and equipment maintenance and updates are the most important, let alone a much larger mercenary group."
Ya Ya also nodded vigorously and said to Lujiang in a serious manner: "After grandpa barked, before meeting Mo Wang! I barked under the bridge or in the grass at night! I barked one meal every day Rice!"
"Is this... so difficult..."
Lujiang swallowed nervously and asked curiously: "Then should we sleep outside too? If you want to hunt, I can also help! Druid is very professional in this area!”
Ji Xiaoge said 'Hey' and asked doubtfully: "Druids don't respect nature very much? How come you are so professional in hunting? Is it because you are a player?"
"Well, it should be "That's not the case."
Lu Jiang shook his head and shrugged: "Although the Druid cares about nature as Sister Yege said, the ecological cycle is also a part of nature, so it does not mean that it will." Indiscriminately protecting animals or woodland, under normal circumstances, druids will take the initiative to intervene in nature, usually when natural or man-made disasters occur."
The winged girl suddenly realized: "It turns out. That’s it! It’s not about protecting nature blindly!”
“Hey, I actually saw it from the book given by Mr. Ogi.”
Lujiang scratched his hair in embarrassment and smiled with a red face: "I ran to Tianzhu Mountain not long after entering the trap, and I haven't met any other druids. These are just from books. What I saw on the website is completely learned and sold now.”
< br>One thing to say, this guy’s shy and small face with a red face is really endearing. Even if he is placed next to Ji Xiaoge who is in the state of [leaving the world and being independent], he is not much less attractive. Several people are walking next to him. The young adventurer's eyes widened.
But he is a man!
“We don’t need to be too deliberate about sleeping in the open.”
Mo Tan took two steps diagonally, seemingly inadvertently, and stood between his own barking team and another energetic team. Lu Jiang and Ji Xiaoge blocked most of their bodies, and said in a brisk tone: "Although it is definitely not high-class, the level of our team is actually not high either. Sorry, Lao Jia, Ya Ya and I are all at high levels. Although Ye Ge, a field engineer, has poor physical fitness, he is a reassuring rear guard. He is also an all-rounder, a bully and courageous... aside from his personality. , the overall strength is actually not much worse than mine, and now that you are here, the level of our team is actually above average.”
Lujiang suddenly blinked his eyes and said excitedly: "Wow! Is he so awesome!"
"It's not really awesome, but as long as you don't be too lazy, it will definitely be okay to maintain a moderately prosperous level."

Jadeka shook his head and said happily: "We have a lot of savings in our hands, and since we went to Academy City not long ago, it seems that we have been I have always been provided with food and shelter, so I didn’t spend much money..."
"Ahem!"
At this moment, Ji Xiaoge coughed slightly in embarrassment. He raised his little hand and whispered: "I went shopping with my friends before. I was a little excited and kept rushing to check out. I accidentally spent almost all my money."
[You deserve it. There is an entire Shuguang Sect behind Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. It doesn’t make sense for you to spend as much as others. Tianzhu Mountain’s rank is high, but Master Lu Wei doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who will pay for it. People who use gold coins as pocket money...]
Mo Tan, who was fully aware of the whole financial incident, complained quietly in his heart.
Lao Jia smiled kindly and said happily: "It's okay, just with those spicy noodles you gave me, little pigeon, I can support you for two lifetimes."
As a result, Yaya immediately raised his little hand, wagging his tail and said very proudly: "I saw what a wonderful dog when I was walking around! I don't have much money spent anymore!"
"Everything can be nourished if you go, go, go."
The old mage, who had almost nothing to spend money on except buying some fitness equipment (two-handed hammer, two-handed axe, door panel broadsword), nodded again and took all the orders.
After that, the group of people walked forward happily for about a quarter of an hour, and then they saw the store that Judka mentioned.
A three-story mixed-wood building with an area of about 200 square meters and bright lights. Although there is no signboard, the business is extremely prosperous. Not only the first floor hall is full, but also the There were seven or eight tables of customers outside, changing glasses and changing glasses, and it was quite lively.
“Haha, in the Gold Rush Triangle, there are about 17 or 18 such [deserted shops] in total. They are jointly controlled by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, the Steam Consortium, the Adventurers Association, the Archaeologists Association and the Wanderer Hotel. travelers A small stronghold that provides food and accommodation."
Jadeka chuckled, turned around and introduced to a few people as he walked: "Although the Gold Rush Triangle is far less chaotic than Borderlands and Free City, But it's not a peaceful place Fang, ordinary people cannot make money by opening a shop here, and whether they have a life or not is two different things. Therefore, it was initiated by the Adventurers Association hundreds of years ago. On the front line of the Wanderer Inn, two major players, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Steam Consortium, were established. These places were called [Desolate Stores]. Later, in view of the increasing number of people exploring Undersher in the east, they also recruited the Archaeologists Association and asked them to station experts here to provide services such as valuation of old objects. "< br>
Ji Xiaoge flapped his wings restlessly while sighing: "It seems to be super big!"
"Eating, accommodation, information trading, item identification, depositing and withdrawing money, issuing commissions, undertaking Any task can be You can do it here." Jadeka stood still, waved to the half-orc man from the Fox tribe not far away dressed as a waiter, and smiled at everyone: "Although the price is not approachable, it is better. Full-featured, and in this location Fang, no one cares whether the sauced meat on the table is a few gold coins more expensive than the market price."
Ya Ya, who really didn't care about the gold coins, squatted feebly on Judd's side. Between Ka and Motan, I obviously just ate it Not long after the meal, he still muttered because of the fragrance floating around: "Wang is hungry! Wang wants to eat something good!"
"Several guests, welcome to [Huangdian] ·Eighth Branch]."
The half-orcs of the Fox tribe who quickly walked up to a few people smiled respectfully, bowed to everyone, and asked politely: "Excuse me, what are your plans..."
"We want to Eat something. If there is no room inside, just sit outside."
Jadeka, who is half a host, stepped forward and said pleasantly: "Then I will ask for three more rooms, all for one night. "
The fox clan waiter nodded, and then said with a troubled expression: "Well, sir, if you eat, there will definitely be no problem with us, but accommodation... What a coincidence, now it has been There are no extra rooms.”
Jadeka was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head and said suddenly: “Oh, I just remembered that these two months have been in the Wild Tooth Wilderness. On days when the Bianxiang Mushroom Pig comes out for activities, people will definitely be indispensable. If there are no three rooms, how many rooms will be left?”
The young waiter smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, sir, we are in the same room now..."
"Yes!"
The result is here. At that moment, a low-volume but powerful voice suddenly sounded from the side. Mo Tan and others turned around and saw that a middle-aged goblin with a big belly had appeared next to him at some point, and was supporting him with some difficulty. The big beer belly saluted to himself.
The waiter was also stunned when he discovered the other party, and whispered: "Supervisor?"
"Well, you go inside and do your work."
The goblin man called the supervisor waved his hand and sent the waiter away. He immediately smiled warmly at everyone and bowed deeply again: "Welcome, welcome to [Huangdian·Eighth Branch] ], Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am Harold, the supervisor here, and I am very happy to have the honor to receive you."
Everyone was stunned, although they did not know the so-called 'supervisor. 'It specifically refers to what position it is and what it is in charge of, but everyone is not stupid, whether it is judging from the temperament of the middle-aged goblin in front of him or based on the analysis of the attitude of the waiter towards him just now. , this Mr. Harold is not a small person.
In fact, several people guessed correctly. This plump goblin supervisor is officially the top person in charge of this [Desolate Store·Eighth Branch].
After a few seconds, when no one seemed to come forward to negotiate, Mo Tan, who didn't want to embarrass the other party, had to take a step forward and the goblin in front of him returned a salute: "Hello, ha. Mr. Rhodes, we are members of the Wangwang adventurer team, and we plan to order something to eat. If there are any empty tables outside..."
Director Goblin immediately nodded his head and clapped his hands: "Yes! You can have it all, not just outside, if you want, there happens to be a private room on the top floor suitable for moon viewing.”
"This..."
Mo Tan's expression was a little complicated, but he finally shook his head and sighed, and asked directly: "In that case, do we 'happen' to have three vacant rooms here?"< br>
“Hey, look what you said.”
Harold chuckled, and his sperm Ming's green eyes quickly swept past everyone, and said in a brisk tone: "No more, no less, our No. 8 store has just vacated six rooms. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay with us tonight. , how about having a good night’s rest and eating and drinking before hitting the road tomorrow morning?”
“Six rooms?”
Mo Tan turned around and saw, okay, it's not just him, Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge, Lujiang and Yaya who dare to love each other, this supervisor even includes Wang Badan.
After a brief silence...
"What is that, Mr. Harold."
Mo Tan showed an attitude of being honest and not telling secrets, and looked serious. Said: "Your enthusiasm... is really too obvious."
As a result, Harold laughed, winked at Mo Tan, and said happily: "Although we can also remain calm. I’m trying to make it easier for you, but I think it’s better to be more straightforward sometimes, so that you can at least leave a deeper impression. What do you think?”
"I think it makes sense."
Mo Tan nodded slightly, and then asked: "So why are you doing this..."
"To tell you the truth, although the name Wangwang Team is No. We were born very , but Mr. Jadekar Diesel’s name has been heard here for a long time. I think you are planning to go north. If you have a chance to meet Mr. Darien, please take care of him for us.”
Hello De first bowed his hand respectfully to Jadeka, and then turned his attention to Mo Tan: "As for you, little brother... I heard that in the team battle of Academy City's fighting competition some time ago, the reason why the Diesel team The final victory was achieved because of a half-dragon knight with a giant turtle mount, who must be the one in front of me?"
"It would be a pity not to join the Wanderer Hotel and open a store."
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity. Although I am a goblin, I am not from the Gold Coin Merchant Guild. To be honest, I was transferred here from the hotel headquarters to gain experience."
"Okay. , then set up a table outside and order some signature dishes. Three of them are enough for the room, if it’s not a problem.”
“Okay~ Here we go~”
