The lord is red again

In Prey Town, the height of the wall is not as high as that of Star Dragon Post, and it looks like it is covered in dirt.

As a national border defense force of the Kingdom of Rand, the Star Dragon Post has many tasks such as sentry and release of smoke. It is a hard requirement that it cannot be breached.

On the contrary, as a small town built by a small human lord, the wall in Prey Town is only a little higher than the earth wall, only three people high. There are some barbed spears inserted on the top of the wall to prevent climbing.

At the city gate, four people were stopped.

"Four people" Linde took out the gold stamp ticket and handed it to the guard. The fee for entering the city is also one of the main sources of income for Prei Town. There is no food or drink in Prei Town, but it is safer. Many people will work hard to get out. Search for various valuable things and trade them in order to exchange for the opportunity to live in the town.

According to Linde's understanding, this town has dozens of soldiers. Although they are not like the regular infantry of the Rand Kingdom's First Legion, their equipment is not much different.

This place is more like a "novice village" than Star Dragon Post, and it is indeed safer.

Linde did not believe that just a few dozen soldiers could stop the disaster. He had seen zombie-like scavengers devour an army of dozens of people one after another, just like fire burning through weeds, unable to withstand it.

If this world is really a game, then perhaps only players can compete with it.

However, every game is destined to have a protagonist, and there is more than one. If you can find this person, you can be considered "on the right track" and stand in the same camp as most players.

Players who seem to be invincible are miserable but can only be footmen. They can choose who to seek refuge with and who to kill. They only have the power to choose but can never be chosen.

The guards moved out of the way, allowing Linde and his four men to enter the city.

Not everyone can afford the high cost of living in Pree Town. There are also some small settlements that do not want to be controlled by others and will hide in safer places. They will only come to Pree Town to do transactions when exchanging supplies. , there are not many people like Linde who come to Prey Town to exchange materials.

He has been here before and is familiar with this place.

The sun also dropped below the horizon little by little.

"Let's go and exchange the wolf skin for gold stamp tickets first."

Linde curled his lips inwardly. The mayor of Prey Town obviously thought as he thought. If he controls the currency, he controls the resources. Now, in the area of ​​nearly a hundred miles around, I am afraid that only gold stamp tickets are recognized.

The only advantage I have over them is that I have cut off a fixed consumer group - players.

…

"This wolfskin is so badly chopped that if a noble lady wanted to make a fur vest, she would never choose it."

Old Cherry grabbed the jackal skin and said to Linde.

Old Cherry, who was in charge of the street vendors' market transactions, was the only person in Prey Town who could eat more than twenty wolf skins because he worked for Ronin, the lord of Prey Town.

"But no aristocratic lady will use the smelly and ugly jackal skin to make a waistcoat." Lind thought to himself: "They will use ferret or even lynx skin. If those aristocratic ladies can continue to enjoy their own beauty And if you live a luxurious life..."

But he didn't say these words. On other people's territory, you have to be cautious about what you say and do.

"Old Cherry, the price should be higher, we have spent a lot of effort," Linde said.

In his estimation, the selling price of this batch of wolf skins should be more than 1,000 gold stamp tickets.

The purchasing power of a gold stamp ticket is very unstable, but in many cases it can be exchanged for a small bag of grain half the size of a fist.

If everything is replaced with food, there is no need to worry about rations throughout the winter.

But with Old Cherry's style of doing things, I am afraid that the selling price of these wolf skins will eventually be reduced to less than 200 gold stamp tickets. Of course he dared to do this because the lord of Prey Town supported him and his fist was bigger than Lind's.

"800 gold stamp tickets" Old Cherry didn't even raise his eyelids. He seemed to like the tattered jackal skin very much.

"Huh?" Linde was shocked.

Could it be that the old Cherry in front of me had his brain devoured by the disaster monster?

I heard that those monsters have a mix of flavors, including meat and vegetables.

Old Cherry, full of cunning and cunning, may be as attractive to a certain group of disaster monsters as the smelly and fatal attraction of blue cheese and canned herrings.

Old Cherry lowered his voice and said, "But you have to buy everything you need from me."

"Of course," Linde agreed.

Give him 200 gold stamp tickets and let him go out to buy supplies, but his purchasing power is also very limited.

But if it is 800 gold stamp tickets, unless the price is shamelessly increased to more than 4 times, Linde will buy more things.

He originally planned to go to Prey Town to purchase goods.

Linde picked some beans. He wanted to have a warm meal of stewed bean sprouts in the cold winter.

If those wolf guts could barely revive a small vegetable garden, he could try planting some seeds.

In addition, there is food that can sustain them for a month. The coldest time is not yet, but January. By then, they will not be able to go out normally, so they need enough food.

And a bag of salt.

Before the end of the world, the price of salt remained high, and now it has doubled several times, but he still has to eat salt. Just buying salt cost him 150 gold stamps, which can support ten people for a while.

The prices of the goods were quite normal, and there was no obvious price increase, which made Linde feel more and more that something was wrong with Old Cherry.

"I also want a piece of Fire Tongue," Linde said.

10 gold stamp tickets, bought a big bundle.

This is a red weed that begins to grow crazily after the disaster occurs. It tastes similar to chili peppers. Grind it into powder and store it. Sprinkle a little on each barbecue to bring some happiness to the boring mouth.

The only problem is that the process of grinding this kind of chili grass is very painful. Some people may have to cry for several days. In severe cases, it is said that they will be poisoned by spicy food and the skin will become red all over the body, but Linde said it is no problem at all.

He has immortality.

Don't treat the undead as human beings and use them casually.

The old crops are extinct and new plants with stronger adaptability appear. The world may not be so bad that it will be completely destroyed. What will be destroyed is probably only human society.

Just like that, Linde spent the 800 gold stamp tickets he had just received and spent 300 gold stamp tickets in an instant, but he still didn't plan to stop there.

Keep buying!

With the presence of players, it is certain that Star Dragon Outpost will surpass Prey Town in development. If you don't spend all the money, you will lose money.

Old Cherry, who saw Linde's thoughts, strengthened his inner suspicion, and then said: "Maybe, you can take a look at this, although the price is very expensive..."

It was a thumb-sized crystal bottle, half full of azure liquid, as if it had stolen a ray of moonlight from the night sky and poured it into it.

Magic potion!

Lind's heart twitched slightly, and he admitted that he was attracted.
