Chapter 312 Trading Street, Give Me a Discount!
"Is this Qingyu Town?"
Looking at the bustling crowd not far away, Ye Xuan had the illusion of returning to his territory.
This Qingyu Town is much larger than the small outpost he stayed in in his previous life.
"Senior, let's go down first."
"Players of other races are not allowed to fly in the air in Qingyu Town; they will be attacked by defensive structures."
Upon discovering that Ye Xuan intended to fly directly over, the others quickly stopped him.
In this place, players from the Azure Feather Clan are considered superior.
People have to bow their heads under the roof.
Ye Xuan didn't have any stubborn ideas; if he wasn't allowed to fly, then he wouldn't fly.
He's not some hothead.
Upon approaching Qingyu Town, Ye Xuan discovered that it was a largely intact settlement.
The outermost layer consists of a classic and practical tall city wall, with a large gate in the middle controlling the players' entry and exit.
"Upon entering the city, each person will receive 3000 game points."
"Remember to follow the rules once you're inside, or you'll be fined and expelled from Qingyu Town."
Two tree spirits guarded the gate, their roots embedded in the ground of Qingyu Town, truly serving as natural guardians.
The five human players were already quite familiar with the rules of Qingyu Town, and without hesitation, they took out their respective game points.
"Senior, I've given you your share too, please!"
This was the middle-parted young man who had been communicating with Ye Xuan all along; he was more adept at handling things than the others.
"Are the prices always this high here?"
Just entering the city requires 3000 points; this is practically robbery.
In his previous life, Ye Xuan's small outpost only required 100 points to be deducted from his daily game card.
"It's not expensive."
The young man with the middle parting led the way while explaining the unspoken rules of the place to Ye Xuan.
"Qingyu Town only charges an entrance fee."
"As long as you don't leave after you come in, you don't need to pay any more money."
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"If I leave now and come back in, will I have to pay?"
"We must accept it."
"Still 3000 points?"
"Yes."
This is a blatant conspiracy, or rather, the planners targeted players who dared to take risks.
For those timid players, earning them just once is enough.
Because such people are destined not to have more wealth.
Adventurers, on the other hand, must venture into the wilderness to become stronger.
Perhaps they will go in and out several times a day.
This card is much faster to obtain than killing monsters yourself.
Where did you last encounter the white fox clan?
Now that we've arrived in Qingyu Town, there's no need to waste any more time with these people.
"The trading street is located to the west of Qingyu Town."
The western part of Qingyu Town is lined with various shops and streets with stalls.
After telling Ye Xuan the news, the group quickly left.
Although Ye Xuan was extremely powerful, they all wished they could stay far away from him.
Only one of them returned.
What are you doing back here?
Ye Xuan was not surprised to see the middle-parted youth return.
"I've been around Qingyu Town for a while now, and staying by your side can help you handle a lot of trouble."
In a place like this where players from all races gather, there are bound to be many unspoken rules and gray areas.
Given Ye Xuan's temperament, he might very well break the rules of Qingyu Town.
If that triggers the Azure Feather Clan's attack, it will only result in mutual destruction.
Ye Xuan didn't say anything, but just walked towards the trading street.
"How much do you know about the white fox clan?"
The young man with the middle parting followed and told them everything he knew.
"White foxes are also a very powerful alien race. They are skilled in elemental magic and possess extremely high speed."
"Therefore, they do not rely on the protection of the Azure Feather Clan, and they do not have any strongholds here."
"However, the White Fox clan is not skilled in crafting equipment and supplies, so they appear in the trading street every now and then to buy various essential items."
If there are clues, then there's no problem. Ye Xuan's mandatory mission lasts for a month, and it's only just begun.
How often do they appear?
"Three months. It's been over two months since their last transaction. We should see them again in about ten days."
Ye Xuan paused in his steps.
"So long?"
The young man with the middle parting scratched his head. "That's not necessarily true. It depends on how long their supplies last."
"Sometimes it's shorter than three months, sometimes it's longer."
Ye Xuan didn't have that much time to waste here.
In which areas of the wilderness do the white fox clan typically operate?
This stumped the young man with the middle parting, as everyone in the chaotic land was extremely careful to protect their own information.
How could an ordinary human player possibly know this kind of information?
Not everyone has a cheat device like the clown mask, so no matter how hard Ye Xuan tried, no one could collect his information.
"Senior, I don't know, but if you have enough funds, I can take you somewhere."
Ye Xuan nodded immediately, "Lead the way."
"Senior, information trading is strictly prohibited in Qingyu Town, so the prices in places like this are extremely high, easily exceeding 10 points."
Seeing that Ye Xuan remained calm, the young man with the middle parting was even more certain that he was a wealthy player from the Divine Dynasty.
Only players from powerful factions can have substantial starting capital.
The two arrived at the trading street, which was bustling with activity.
All sorts of players converge here, and every booth is bustling with activity.
However, to Ye Xuan's surprise, all the players here were in human form.
The young man with the middle parting explained upon seeing this.
"Although we humans are not considered powerful among all the heavens, our form is extremely well-suited for combat."
"Moreover, the aesthetic of the human form is universally acknowledged by almost all races."
"Therefore, not only in Qingyu Town, but other safe zones are generally dominated by human-shaped structures."
Ye Xuan wasn't really clear about this rule.
Because in his previous life, the place he lived in was a melting pot of all sorts of demons and monsters.
The small outpost was crammed into a chaotic mess. Some of the alien creatures were so large that they could barely fit a few before the place was filled up.
"We've arrived, senior; this is the place."
The young man with the middle parting led Ye Xuan through a maze of winding paths until they arrived at a secluded alley.
There is only a simple shopfront, with nothing inside except a closed window.
歘!
A note was handed out, and at the same time an electronic voice sounded.
"Write down the details of your investigation."
Ye Xuan wrote down the whereabouts of the White Fox Clan.
After the note was taken back, the entire shop fell into a brief silence for a minute, and then another note was handed out.
"Price: 59 game points, 50 pieces of level 50 rare equipment, and 20 rare herbs."
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow after seeing the note.
This message requires so many resources? Is this a shady business?
"It's too expensive, give me a discount."
The young man with the middle parting next to him almost stumbled; this was the first time he had ever heard of someone daring to mention discounts here.
All intelligence trading venues have powerful figures backing them up.
"Okay, I'll give you a 85% discount."
