Chapter 240: Opening up wasteland in the imperial capital(2/2)
After the rush sale, a group of players walked away and went about their business after buying things. Soon, only Muyou’s game characters were left on the scene.
Mu You didn't leave in a hurry because he still wanted to chat with the old cat store manager.
[You walked to a deserted place and switched to the mysterious man skin.]
【You are back next to the store again.】
[The old cat shop owner has finished selling and is already packing up his things to close the door. When he sees you coming, he stops in a hurry and comes to greet you, informing you that today’s goods have been sold out and asking you if you need anything.]
[You asked the old cat shop owner about the sales situation in the past two days.]
[The old cat shop owner tells you that since the early hours of yesterday morning, orders from their Owl Commercial Headquarters have surged, especially for spell scrolls and magic experience pages. Dozens of large orders came in yesterday, and all the scrolls in the headquarters warehouse in recent years have been stocked.
Ordered out...】
No wonder there are no spell scrolls, even the scrolls at the Owl Headquarters have been robbed!
Are all rich people so crazy?
But after thinking about it carefully, Mu You understood.
These capital forces are not spending money indiscriminately. On the contrary, snapping up spell scrolls is one of the most profitable ways at present. Because equipment cannot be mass-produced, buying one piece is worth the value of one piece. But magic can be copied in batches.
As long as you have spells and enough experience pages, you can upgrade a certain magic to LV5. Then, if you can get some magic teaching equipment, you can open a school on the earth and teach magic to other people in large quantities without any consumption.
People, and the benefits that can be generated in this process are unimaginable!

[You ask the old cat store manager, when will new spell scrolls be available for sale?]
[The old cat shop owner tells you that the production of spell scrolls is not easy. It requires a senior engraver with LV5 magic. It consumes a lot of experience pages and time to produce. Even the most skilled engraver needs a week to make a low-level engraver.
High-level spell scrolls, intermediate and high-level scrolls will take longer.]
["At this time next week, a batch of spell scrolls should be shipped. You can come in advance and wait and see, but please be prepared for an increase in the price of the goods. According to today's market conditions, the following spell scrolls and experience
The price of the book pages may increase by more than 50%." The old cat store manager revealed some internal information of the Chamber of Commerce to you because of your identity as a mysterious person.]
"Next week..."
Mu You shook his head helplessly. He couldn't help it. The scrolls were sold out, and once a day became once a week. But at least there was still a chance to have sex for free. And it was a big honor for the store manager to tell him such inside information.
As for the price increase, Muyou doesn't care, since he bought it for zero yuan anyway.
[The old cat shop owner saw that you seemed to be paying special attention to the spell scrolls, so he suggested to you: "If you want to learn magic, the most affordable way is not to buy the scrolls, but to go to the magic academies in the imperial capital or several big cities to teach you.
The cost of learning magic is only one-third of the price of the scroll, or even lower."]
The old cat shop manager finally gave him a good suggestion, but unfortunately this suggestion was of no use to Mu You. No matter how low-cost magic was, it could not be more delicious than his free prostitution.
However, the other party also had good intentions. Muyou controlled the character to say goodbye politely, left the entrance of the village, returned to the watchman's hut, and then teleported directly to the imperial capital through the teleportation array in the hut.
[In the dizzy feeling of teleportation, you appear in the underground river of the imperial capital.]
[You switched to the fortune teller skin and took a goblin submarine...]
[You drove the submarine into the jet tunnel, and under the influence of the huge jet, rushed into the reservoir on the east side of the imperial capital...]
Muyou had experienced this journey twice, so he had no sense of confusion at this moment. After one operation, the character was able to successfully drive a submarine through the rivers of the imperial capital and swim all the way to the commercial street he passed by before.
[You anchored at the ‘Siye Street’ in the center of the imperial capital, and left the water and landed.]
[Four Leaf Street is one of the oldest commercial streets in the entire empire. It is named because the entire street is shaped like a four-leaf clover, with its corners scattered in four directions, and it borders the four major magic academies in the imperial capital.
.】
[Many well-known brand stores in the star spirit world have branches on Siye Street. This is the most prosperous area in the entire imperial capital. However, the excessive prosperity of business has also caused the land prices here to increase day by day, which has indirectly led to
The products here are about % higher than those in ordinary stores.]
To Mu You's relief, the curfew in the imperial capital seemed to have been stopped, and the street was still open normally in the middle of the night.
【You switched the mysterious man skin.】
[You step into Siye Street and see the four shops closest to you on the front, back, left, and right. You choose to go...]
Five options: [Mrs. Lisa's Robe Shop], [Magic Beauty Shop], [McDowns' Wand Shop], [Prop Recycling Shop], [Keep Moving Forward].
Mu You chose to 'keep moving forward', planning to explore all the nearby shops first.
It turned out that he had overthought it. This street was much bigger than imagined, with more than 200 shops. He had just finished exploring one of the four leaves, and his energy was exhausted.
However, even among the more than thirty stores that have been identified, he has already discovered many store names that interest him very much.
Muyou controlled the character to take two steps back, and first entered the 'Cuckoo Owl Shop' on the left.
[You have entered the Cuckoo Owl Shop, which is one of the only owl specialty stores on Yotsuba Street. Here, you can buy all the common varieties of owls on the market.]
[Because of the distinguished status represented by your Mysterious Person skin, the clerk warmly entertained you.]
[Accompanied by the clerk, you walked into the depths of the store and saw rows of bird cages displayed on the shelves, with an owl imprisoned in each cage.]
[You saw gray owl, long-eared owl, barn owl, silver owl, brown owl, straw owl...]
A large number of owl names popped up. Muyou clicked on the text one by one and checked the price and description.
Most affordable owls are sold for 15-20 years, and some of good condition or good varieties are sold for 20-40 years.
The most expensive one is indeed the silver owl.
The silver owls in this store, depending on their condition, are priced between 34 and 50 years old, more than twice as much as ordinary owls!
Seeing this, Mu You has already figured it out.
In the star spirit world, although a creature can spend one year of its lifespan to be resurrected after being killed, not all the lifespan consumed can be obtained by the person who killed it.
To steal the lifespan of other creatures, two conditions need to be met:
First, the soul strength of the killed creature must be high enough. The soul strength is generally linked to the body size. Those life forms that are too small, such as various non-Warcraft insects, ordinary grass plants, trees, etc., cannot be killed even if they are killed.
Capture life span.
The second is that the creatures to be killed must have sufficient predatory ability and aggressiveness. Mild creatures that have no attack ability or insufficient attack power cannot gain lifespan even if they are killed. For example, these owls, such as the donkey he brought back earlier,
Even chocobos are neutral creatures. As domestic familiars, they will not participate in combat, and killing them will not count your lifespan.
The magic owl itself has a very short lifespan, only about five to ten years. In addition, the owl's food is small creatures such as insects, so it cannot gain lifespan through daily hunting.
Therefore, wizards buy owls, feed them with food, and provide them with life every year. The cost is not small.
But even so, wizards almost always have an owl, because owls are not only pets in the spiritual world, but also messengers and delivery persons.
Because of this, the silver owl is a necessity for these wizards, but it is not very attractive to humans. After all, the appearance is too similar to the owl of the earth, and the ability to send messages is not used on the earth.
The silver owl eggs Mu You obtained were not intended to be sold on Earth, but were intended to be sold in other worlds.
