Chapter 756
756 The wild cultivators and the market (1)
The foreign merchants were indeed the best information spreaders. They traveled all over the loucheng world and often exchanged information with their peers. It could be said that they were ” well-informed.
Of course, it was unknown how much useful information was in this so-called ” knowledgeable “.
Therefore, it was a good idea for the foreign woman in the pub to ask Tang Zhen about the foreign merchants. However, whether it would work or not would depend on the situation.
Tang Zhen didn’t have much contact with the foreign merchants and had never bought information from them. He didn’t even know that such a situation existed.
These foreign merchants were indeed shrewd. They had actually found such a way to make money. They had really learned and applied the saying ” knowledge is wealth ”
If there was a lot of gossip and business was good, it was not impossible to make a living purely on this.
For example, the dream city Master was an absolute know-it-all, with his long life and special abilities, his knowledge and experience could be said to be terrifying!
If he were to engage in the business of selling information, the amount of brain beads and origin stones he would earn would be enough to form a mountain!
Of course, with the identity of dream city’s city Lord, he would definitely not do such a thing. Back then, he had helped Zhen Tang and even gifted him the note and the plant seeds to create a good relationship for himself.
After passing through a Long Street, Tang Zhen could not help but sweep his gaze over a huge building that had been reconstructed from the ruins of a city.
Such a building was very eye-catching in The Wanderer’s Market, and it was hard for him not to notice it.
There were many experts in the Wanderer market, but no one had built a Tower City. There was a special reason for this.
The first was the special characteristic of the building. Although there was a limited supply of food and the benefit of increasing attributes, these wild cultivators who occupied this place did not lack these things.
The low-level loucheng was not a big deal as it was good for them to pass their days. However, if the loucheng’s level did not increase, the cultivators of the loucheng could forget about advancing to a higher level.
No matter how talented you were in cultivation, you would still be dragged down by Lou Cheng’s level. Unless you had already exceeded the level limit before joining, you would not be able to cross this hurdle!
This was a rather immoral restriction, which made the low-level buildings unable to enjoy the benefits of the buildings for a long time. If they did not want the buildings to be destroyed by high-level cultivators and monsters, they had to constantly improve the level of the buildings and the cultivation of the cultivators.
Of course, if it was a place like the wilderness Warzone, where there were few buildings and most of them were low-level, then it would not be a problem for low-level buildings to live freely for hundreds of years.
However, in the end, it still couldn’t escape the end of destruction. The fundamental reason was that its level was low, and the overall strength of the city was not enough!
As for the wild cultivators who did not join loucheng, they did not have to worry about these problems. Those who were more talented could rely on their deep accumulation to level up. The only drawback was that their speed was slower.
As for the cultivator skills that could only be instilled on the cornerstone platform, although they couldn’t get them, there were geniuses who found a way to use similar energy.
In addition, in some special wild buildings, there would occasionally be a myriad of strange cultivation methods, and there were many cultivators!
All the skills that did not belong to the cornerstone platform were collectively called pseudo-skills!
The power of these pseudo-skills were different, but they were not like the skills of cultivators. Once one lost their identity as a resident of the city, they would gradually be unable to be used normally!
Fatty, who had joined the Holy Dragon City, had been a wild cultivator before, and the skill he used was a pseudo-skill that had been improved.
Relying on his outstanding talent, the might of his modified pseudo-skill was not inferior to similar cultivator skills. Even Tang Zhen was in awe of this!
Of course, the inheritance of these pseudo-skills was more cumbersome and strict. The learning method was somewhat similar to the infusion of the cornerstone platform, and the selling price was also shocking.
As a result, those who had obtained pseudo-skills in the wild were basically all cultivators at the Lord level and above, because only those at this level of cultivation were qualified to obtain pseudo-skills.
If low-level cultivators wanted to obtain pseudo-skill inheritances, they either had to have enough brains, have a deep background, or obtain it by accident. Otherwise, they basically had no chance of obtaining pseudo-skills.
It was also because of the existence of pseudo-skills that low-level wild cultivators were very eager to join loucheng, while many high-level wild cultivators were not interested in joining loucheng.
However, in the long run, the strength gap between wild cultivators and loucheng cultivators would grow bigger and bigger. If it weren’t for the fact that National loucheng disdained these wild cultivators and advanced loucheng needed to use them from time to time, there would be no place for them in the world of loucheng.
Another reason was that once the City Tower was built, it would automatically attract monsters to gather in the surroundings, and they had to clean it up from time to time.
Although the clearing process was also a training experience for the cultivators in the city and the brain Pearl was a reward, the Wanderer market, where wild cultivators gathered, didn’t need it.
Moreover, these monsters were a huge safety hazard to the Wanderer market, which was why the market’s controller had forbidden the construction of buildings in the vicinity. Once discovered, they would be destroyed immediately!
The ruins in front of them must have existed for a very long time. Perhaps it was destroyed by the first person who built the market and then used as the residence and office of the market manager!
……
Unknowingly, Tang Zhen had already arrived at his destination.
The gathering place of the foreign merchants was at the edge of the Wanderer market. They were different from the merchants who had fixed shops here. They basically brought tents and did business wherever they settled down.
Compared to the bluestone-paved streets, there seemed to be more people here. Many wild cultivators and Wanderers were wandering here, selling all kinds of medicinal herbs and minerals, as well as some gains from the wild buildings and ruins.
The foreign merchants were like rag-and-bone Collectors. After picking and choosing, they gave a price and then bargained with each other.
Therefore, the liveliness of this place far exceeded that of the shops on the bluestone streets.
It was mealtime, and while walking on the street made up of tents, one could smell all kinds of strange food from time to time.
When they passed by a huge tent, Tang Zhen personally saw a few foreign people carrying a bowl of lively and active worms. After which, they poured a spoonful of black soup that emitted a peculiar smell and began to eat with a face full of enjoyment.
Not to mention the taste of this food, just by looking at its appearance, Tang Zhen had no interest in tasting it.
After walking around a few tent streets, Tang Zhen found that the closer to the center, the larger the scale of the tents and the higher the quality of the goods sold.
Obviously, these foreign merchants were also divided into different grades, and the stronger the caravan, the better the position they occupied!
This was very normal, because the foreign trade caravans that occupied these places had to pay several times more rent than the other trade caravans. They could not occupy anywhere they wanted.
After he understood this point, Tang Zhen sized up the goods that were different from the savage war zone while he headed straight to the central area.
