Chapter 126: A plan to make money with Qinggong
Looking at the bag, there was only a pitiful 29 taels of silver left.
Damn, this money is too much to spend.
I still haven’t learned Qinggong and riding skills, so I don’t know if they are enough.
Just in case, let’s learn Qing Gong first.
Xiao Jie has been looking forward to the Qing Kung Fu for a long time.
The person who teaches Qing Kung is a tall and thin man named Li Fei, the Bird in the Cloud.
"This master, I want to learn a light skill, but I don't know if it is possible."
Li Fei looked Xiao Jie up and down and chuckled, "What's wrong with this? Are you rich? Of course it's okay if you have money."
A list of skills that can be learned pops up in front of you. There are five basic light skills in total.
[Plucking onions on dry land: learning needs. 10 taels of silver, an introduction to internal strength.
Introduction to Qinggong: Soar into the air and leap high into the sky, up to 3 meters. For every 10 points of agility you have, you gain an extra meter of height. Consumes 8 points of internal energy. 】
[Swallow three copies of water: learning needs. 15 taels of silver, introduction to internal strength.
Introduction to Qinggong: Take off in the air and leap forward up to 9 meters (agility × 0.3). When falling, you can jump up again with the help of physical surfaces (including water) and re-select the direction. You can jump up to three times in a row. Each time you take off, it consumes 6 points of internal strength. 】
[Eight steps to catch the cicada: learning needs. 20 taels of silver, introduction to internal strength.
Introduction to Qinggong: Increases your movement speed by 80% for 8 seconds. Consumes 4 points of internal energy every second. 】
[Flying on the grass: learning needs. 20 taels of silver, introduction to internal strength.
Introduction to Qinggong: It makes you as light as a feather, increases your movement speed by 30%, and allows you to run quickly on objects that cannot be used under normal circumstances, such as blades of grass and water. It consumes 3 points of internal force per second. 】
Xiao Jie looked at these four light arts and fell into deep thought.
These four light skills are obviously divided into two categories. Pulling onions on dry land and swallowing water three times are more similar to long jump and high jump, and are used to cross terrain.
The eight-step cicada is simply used to speed up the road, to chase or escape.
Flying on grass is somewhere in between, it can run at speed and cross terrain, but the effect is slightly lower than the previous ones.
Each of the four light arts has its own strengths, and it stands to reason that learning any one of them is valuable.
But money is limited, so let’s learn one first.
After struggling for a long time, I finally chose - flying on the grass!
This light skill can cross terrain and accelerate. It can be said to be the most powerful light skill.
Moreover, he can quickly learn the galloping skill. In this way, if the two skills are used together, it will be no worse than chasing cicadas in eight steps, and it will be more durable.
As for things like climbing, you can use mountain climbing to solve it. Slow is a little slow, but at least it solves the problem of presence and absence.
And because of the existence of the Earth Binding Talisman, the power of the Eight-Step Cicada is not as powerful as it seems.
Instead, it has the effect of flying on grass and across the terrain, which is very useful.
"Master, I want to learn to fly on grass."
Wow, another 20 taels of silver are gone...
A few minutes later, Xiao Jie walked out of the martial arts gym.
In less than an hour, 70 taels of silver were directly consumed.
Looking at the three additional martial arts in the skill bar, Xiao Jie felt that they were beautiful and well worth the money.
Rounding things off, I can be considered a martial arts master in reality.
I won’t play games tonight. I must experiment and feel like a master.
I looked at my backpack. Oops, I don’t have enough money to learn riding. It costs 10 taels to learn riding. Now I only have more than 9 taels left.
It seems like we have to find a way to make some money.
At this time, I also followed him out of the martial arts hall.
Also very excited.
"Brother Feng, I've finished learning the skills, hahaha, I can be considered a martial arts master now, but the money is a bit not enough. I'm going to spend more money. Do you want to help you earn some?"
"Do you still have money?" Xiao Jie asked in surprise.
"There are still hundreds of thousands. I plan to keep tens of thousands for living expenses and spend the rest on krypton."
It's fun to make money for a while, and it's always fun to make money all the time.
Compared with those online games that cost hundreds of thousands of krypton in the past, you can only buy the best equipment in the game, or fashion mounts, etc., but in this game, you can really learn martial arts by spending hundreds of thousands of krypton.
This is called value for money.
Xiao Jie shook his head, "Just take care of yourself. I have ways to make money. Don't forget that you still have to buy a horse. I don't know if these hundreds of thousands are enough."
Hundreds of thousands sounds like a lot, but it's only a few dozen taels of silver, and you can't even afford a war horse.
I wanted to become an immortal and then I realized, "Brother Feng, I'm going to buy gold. By the way, Brother Feng, do you know anyone who sells gold?"
"I actually know one." Xiao Jie directly sent the gold wealth to Yuchengxian. Since this guy is a professional businessman, he should be able to get gold.
As for Xiao Jie himself, he went straight to the auction house.
Although krypton gold is convenient and fast, it is not a long-term solution after all. Even a small tycoon like me who wants to become an immortal will have no money after this wave, and will have to support himself in the future.
If you want to play this game for a long time, you must have a long-term way to make money.
The simplest way is to kill monsters and explode equipment and sell them to make money, but this method of making money has one biggest problem. Killing monsters consumes too much, and the repair costs for various potions, food, and equipment are often enough to break even the copper coins earned by monster explosions.
Occasionally, a top quality item can be worth some money, such as the Shura Ghost Face and the Divine Wood Talisman on his body, but he still has to keep it for himself to improve his personal strength, so this route is not reliable.
Secondly, collect materials, mine, collect herbs, skin and flesh. The collected materials can always be sold for some money.
This method is reliable, but low-level materials are definitely not valuable. They don’t have access to high-level materials yet. This can only be used as a subsidy plan. It’s not enough to make money entirely from this.
The third one is to engage in manufacturing, such as forging, leatherworking, tailoring, talisman making, alchemy...
As long as you can get good professional formulas, forge magic weapons, and refine elixirs and elixirs, you can naturally make a lot of money. But he didn't have high hopes for this. The game has been running for three years, and the major guilds have trained many blacksmiths and alchemists. It is not easy to make money if you want to be a latecomer.
The fourth one is the most traditional way of doing business, buying low and buying high to earn the price difference, commonly known as goblins.
There are always players who don't know the goods or are in urgent need of money, so they sell good things at low prices. There are also always big guys who are not short of money and are willing to spend a lot of money on something and buy it at a premium. Such merchants can be seen everywhere in traditional games in the past. , Jin Fugui should have done this.
As for what Xiao Jie wants to do, he still needs to do some research before making a decision.
Xiao Jie thinks that he is also an old man and can always find ways to make money.
When he came to the auction house, Xiao Jie took out his notebook and took notes while checking the prices of the goods.
From basic materials such as ores and herbs.
to weapons, elixirs and other manufacturing finished products.
There are also various drawings, formulas, magic weapons and equipment.
Record them one by one in the notebook.
I have been busy for more than an hour, and I have written several pages densely in my notebook. Now I have enough data.
Looking at the data on his laptop, Xiao Jie couldn't help but frowned. The manufacturing industry really didn't work. The competition was too fierce. Comparing the prices of finished products and raw materials, the profit margin was very slim. Only some particularly rare items could be sold at a higher price.
The collection industry can be done, and the prices of raw materials are pretty good. The key is that this thing is zero cost, no investment is required, just work hard, but this thing is hard money, and it is impossible to get rich quickly.
There are some particularly valuable materials, such as thousand-year-old snow lotus, ganoderma jelly grass, black iron red copper, etc., which can easily cost dozens or even hundreds of taels.
There are even a few thousand taels. The problem is that this kind of material is only produced on high-level maps. Don't even think about it if you are a level 10 trumpet yourself.
In fact, there is another way to make money, and that is to monopolize, sell out all the materials in a category, and then sell them at a higher price.
However, playing a monopoly requires a large amount of capital as a basis, and he can't do it with this little money.
Xiao Jie kept thinking about ways to make money, but kept objecting. He had a low level, little capital, and limited understanding of the game. It was too difficult to make money.
But after searching around, he really found an unpopular track.
That is cooking products.
Some special cooking products can also provide BUFF and special effects.
It's just that compared to things like elixirs and spells, the effect is not that obvious. Most of them provide some benefits, which is better than nothing, so the price is not very expensive. Generally, the cheaper ones are dozens of knives, and the expensive ones are only a few hundred knives. .
Those big manufacturing companies probably don't care about this kind of profit, so there is quite a profit margin in terms of price, especially some weird and special formulas, which can often be sold for a "high price" of several hundred yuan.
A few hundred coins is nothing to those big guilds, but it's not bad for a lone wolf player like Xiao Jie, so don't be picky.
I happen to have intermediate cooking. The key is that the investment in cooking is relatively low and the product consumption is large. Unlike elixirs, spells, equipment, etc., only big guilds and rich people can afford it.
If you brush the materials yourself, you can further reduce the price.
Now the only rare things he can sell are secret dog food. In the future, if he develops more rare formulas, he can make a long-term profit, at least he can earn money for learning skills.
By the way, this secret dog food should be worth some money, right?
Xiao Jie searched for the keyword "happiness value" in the auction house.
Then choose food by category.
As a result, a total of three products with increased happiness value appeared.
[Secret wild vegetable dumplings], restore 10 points of satiety and increase pet happiness value by 8 points (only for herbivorous beasts). Auction price: 150 Wen.
[Catnip Grilled Fish], restores 15 points of satiety and increases 15 points of happiness (only for feline beasts). Auction price: 250 Wen.
[Monkey Wine], increases happiness value by 25 points (only for humans and apes). Auction price: 500 yuan.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are all such shady businessmen. Xiao Jie can tell that the cost of the secret wild vegetable dumplings and catmint grilled fish will never exceed 50 Wen.
Such a high premium is entirely due to the exclusive formula and no competition.
As for why Monkey Wine is so expensive - it's probably used to increase NPC's favorability.
It seems that my secret dog food is a good thing, and there is little pressure from competition.
This secret dog food can be used by all carnivorous animals. Although the feline beasts are partially occupied by the catnip grilled fish, wolves, bears, wild boars, etc. also need happiness points.
There is no competition for this unpopular recipe, but he is not afraid that no one will buy it. For example, he really wants to buy a few secret wild vegetable dumplings, add extra food to the radish, and increase his happiness level, so he quickly learned those two skills.
Xiao Jie decisively hung up all the remaining ten secret dog foods in the bag, each worth 200 yuan.
Unexpectedly, three of them were sold in less than five minutes after I put them up.
In a short time, all ten secret dog foods were sold out.
Haha, it’s cool. I got 2 taels of silver directly. Now I can learn riding skills.
But Xiao Jie was not in a hurry.
I ran to the butcher shop and bought a bunch of wild boar meat, venison, and mutton. I also went to the drugstore to buy wild chrysanthemums and Ningshen grass, and started cooking directly.
He made 60 pieces of secret dog food in one go, hung 30 in one go, and sold more than 20 more in less than an hour.
He also hung up the rest, but unfortunately the sales slowed down later. It seemed that the number of animal tamer players was not very large, but it didn't matter, just sell them slowly.
This item is a consumable item and is needed whenever you catch new pets.
The cost of each secret dog food is only 40 Wen, and if you sell one piece, you will earn a net profit of 160 Wen. Even after excluding the transaction tax, you still have an income of 140 Wen.
If you sell more than ten or twenty pieces a day, you can earn a few taels of silver.
Sure enough, there is no future in squatting in Novice Village and moving bricks. Even if you want to make money, you have to go to a big city.
I just didn't expect that after saving so many good things in Novice Village, what finally made me money was this recipe I got accidentally.
I can only say that fate plays tricks on people.
Looking at the silver in the bag, I found another 13 taels of silver. Now I could finally learn riding skills.
