Chapter 1 Buying equipment even after going bankrupt (1)
The bodies of the neighbor's family of three have been taken to a nearby cemetery and are planned to be buried at dusk.
According to the original plot of the game, Peggy crawled out late at night, so Asker was not in a hurry. Since he had time traveled to this stupid NPC, of course he had to cut off all his original social relationships first, otherwise he would be in trouble later.
Very troublesome.
He walked to the high school in the neighborhood and walked slowly into the classroom where it was his turn to teach today.
The tuition of this high school is not cheap, and most of the students are children of middle-class citizens, so the classroom order is quite good. When the teacher came in, everyone fell silent in unison.
Asker walked onto the podium, and everyone opened their textbooks and prepared to take notes.
"Everyone close the textbooks. There is no need to take notes today." Asker said, "Today's assignment is to write a paper on a topic of your own choice based on all the content you have learned this semester."
He glanced at the whole class and said loudly:
"After choosing the topic, go to the library to collect materials, write a history paper, and hand it in as this week's homework. Everyone will study by themselves in the next few days."
The students immediately cheered. Although they didn't understand how to write a paper, self-study was fun! So as the classmates bid farewell, Askish walked out of the classroom and walked towards the principal's office.
The door of the office was open, and the principal could be seen inside, sitting on a back chair reading a newspaper. Asker pushed the door open and said bluntly: "Principal, I want to resign."
The principal raised his head and saw clearly that the teacher who offered to resign was the young master of the Achilles family. Everyone usually knew that this history teacher was actually a nobleman and his family was very rich. He didn't want the salary of a teacher at all.
, so the principal just nodded and didn’t make any more attempts to retain him. He just said:
"Okay, but please, Mr. Asker, please stay here for another week and wait until the school hires a new history teacher before leaving, okay?"
"No need." Asker said, "I have assigned the students homework for the week. The history class for the next week will be changed to self-study, and they will go to the library to prepare papers."
The principal smiled bitterly: "It seems that you are determined to leave. Okay, are you planning to go back and run the family business?"
Ask shook his head and said with a smile: "No. I plan to sell the shop I have and then form an expedition team to explore."
"Sell it?" The principal was shocked.
He knew that the Achilles family had two shops in Constantinople, which alone were worth hundreds of pounds.
The pound here refers to the Solomon Pound, the largest currency unit in the Eastern Solomon Empire. One pound of banknotes is equivalent to an ancient Surades gold coin. According to the purchase exchange rate in the previous game, the price of a gold coin is about 10,000 yuan.
.
Based on this calculation, Asker is now a complete millionaire, and he still has no loans or liabilities.
Selling all your assets to form an expedition team? This is just like selling your house in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and then going abroad to work as a mercenary. It is simply crazy.
However, it is a taboo to make shallow friends and talk deeply, so the principal did not say much and just asked with a smile: "If you want to sell your shop, I know a few well-off buyers who may be interested.
.Are you going to entrust it to an agency or an auction house?”
"I plan to sell it to the church." Ask said directly.
The Orthodox Church in Constantinople has always been very wealthy and does not lower the price or bargain. In addition, it is selling land in the imperial capital, which is very valuable. There are basically no other buyers who can compete with it. So the principal heard this.
Then he put his thoughts aside, could only sigh quietly, and completed the resignation procedures for Aske.
After resigning, the next natural step is to buy all the equipment and arm yourself.
As an e-sports player and former professional player, Asker is naturally familiar with various strategies for speed-climbing early levels of games.
What weapons to use, what armor to wear, what missions to take on, what books to take, all have clear and thorough career plans, there will never be any problems in this regard.
He walked out of the school and went to a nearby weapons shop and said:
"I want to buy a sword."
"Master Achilles, want to buy a sword?" The shop owner recognized this young master from the Achilles family and knew that he was very rich, so he wanted to sell the gorgeous ceremonial sword inlaid with diamonds and hollowed out, specially designed for nobles.
He went out and said with a smile:
"You are really discerning. We have all types of swords in our store. We have recently received a batch of high-quality goods. They are said to be precious relics of the ancient High Elf Empire. Maybe you will be interested..."
"What material is it made of?" Ask asked calmly, "If it's made of meteorite iron, magic copper, mithril, fine gold, colored glaze, polar ice, blood-patterned steel, chaos rock, or dragon bone, I'll buy them all."
The shop owner almost knelt down when he heard the names of these materials. He smiled apologetically and said: "Master Achilles, how can I have those high-end materials you mentioned in this small shop... If it's meteorite iron and magic copper, I might be able to get some from it if I put some effort into it.
I got it on the black market. Mythril and fine gold are controlled by the imperial military, and colored glaze and polar ice are priceless throughout the continent. It’s impossible for my little shop to have them!"
"As for blood-patterned steel, chaos rock, and dragon bones, aren't these the materials for the artifacts in legendary stories? I'm afraid they don't exist at all in reality."
"You don't have any of these materials, how dare you boast that you have everything?" Asker waved his hand wordlessly, "Forget it, let's take out the best materials in your store and have a look. Don't fool me with those hollow patterns.
"
"Okay." The shop owner smiled bitterly in his heart, "We currently have two kinds of long swords, iron and steel forged. The highest grade is Damascus moiré steel, which uses the most advanced chrome plating technology of the Holy See and Austenitic quenching. The quality is absolutely excellent.
…”
"What types of swords are there?" Ask interrupted the shop owner's boast.
"We have the military-style Spathion cavalry sword (spathion), and the Eastern-style Paramerion single-edged curved sword (paramerion)." The shop owner introduced enthusiastically, "Of course, if the young master dislikes these lethality,
If that’s not enough, we also have a hybrid sword (bastard) imported from the West. The spine of the sword is very thick and it has a weighted ball at the end. Even a person’s neck bone can be easily cut off with one strike of the sword..."
"Just the single-edged curved sword, give me one." Asker said, "And a short sword, the Iliban gladius of ancient Solomon. The edge of the sword must be sharpened. Don't let me hit it.
I don’t want to see any antiques that I don’t like.”
"I also need a piece of ring mail, with at least three layers of thick linen lining, and a thick silk cotton armor on the outside. It doesn't need any fancy colors, any common dyeing will do."
"Okay." The shop owner quickly asked the employee to go inside to pick up the goods, and said with a smile, "Master Achilles, are you being appreciated by the palace and are you going to become a royal guard? Yesterday, a young guard was in the shop.
He placed the order, which is similar to the equipment you bought today. However, he bought an extra hammer, which is used to break the armor of heavily armored enemies. You see..."
"No need." Ask said, "For breaking armor, firearms are more suitable."
"That's right, that's right." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, thinking how expensive guns are. A pistol costs at least two or three pounds, and it also requires bullets. There is no way to hit the head with a hammer so conveniently and cheaply.
Soon the hired workers fetched the corresponding goods. The shopkeeper helped Asker put on his mail armor and then put on his cotton armor, making him look more heroic.
He hung the dagger on the buckle of the belt on his left waist, held the single-edged curved sword made of stainless steel in his right hand, and swung it casually a few times, the blade of the sword making a low whistle in the air.
"Not bad." Ask was quite satisfied with this sword.
The shop owner swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt timid for no reason. The way the guy in front of him swung his sword reminded him of a few veterans he had received last year. They were all murderous ones. Just standing there made him feel guilty.
A shuddering urge to turn around and run away immediately.
"Here, the chain mail armor costs 5 pounds, the thick silk cotton armor counts as 1 pound, and the two swords cost about 0.3 pounds. I will erase it for you as a small change." The shopkeeper said cautiously.
"Okay." Asik took out his wallet and took out a few banknotes and gave them to him.
Chapter completed!
