Chapter 76 - 76 Magical Ice City
“Okay.”
“Then what are you going to do next?”
“Elsa said to take a day off tomorrow and set off for Goby Highlands the day after tomorrow.
“Isn’t the Highlands filled with Gnomes and Trolls? Maybe they want us to deal with Gnomes and Trolls.”
“Goby Highlands, and a city of our Human race, Ice Snow City. Could something have happened to Ice Snow City?”
“I don’t think so. If something really happens, it’s useless for us freshmen to run over, right?”
“True.”
Fang Ping glanced at the sky. It was already starting to darken. He did not know what time it was.
“By the way, Fang Ping, let’s go back after dinner. Let me tell you, Gould is quite good at cooking.
“Also, Ivan sends people to deliver demon beast meat over every day. It’s free.”
Fang Ping reckoned that this was also to take care of Lingling.
“Alright, is there a clock here? I still have something to do at six.”
Andre pointed to the wall. “Yes. It’s just past five. There’s still time.”
As he spoke, he walked out and called Gould over to cook. Fang Ping followed him out and watched as Andre walked to the sandpit and continued to guide Lingling in her training.
Fang Ping could tell that he was enjoying himself.
However, dinner still disappointed Fang Ping.
Although Andre said that Gould’s cooking was not bad, it was still within the scope of the world’s understanding.
Everyone had a bowl of meat porridge, which was yellow melon powder and some magical beast meat. It was a bowl of porridge and a roasted meat steak.
As there were no spices or methods to remove the fishy smell, the taste was not as good as imagined.
However, Andre kept praising Gould’s culinary skills. Fang Ping felt a little awkward.
When they finally finished eating, Fang Ping glanced at the clock impatiently. It was almost six o’clock.
“Then I’ll make a move first.”
“Yes, I’ll look for you guys when I’m better. See you in the Elite Team.”
“Take care, Lord Fang Ping.”
Walking out of the Flower Garden and heading to the Giant Cannon Plaza, Mina’s bookstore had not been here for a long time. From the outside, it looked the same as before.
Of course, it was as deserted inside as before.
Walking into Mina’s bookstore, Fang Ping had a feeling that he had never left before. Everything still looked familiar.
“Welcome… Fang Ping, long time no see. You’re back?”
“Yes, I just came back today.”
Mina smiled sweetly and stood up. She poured a glass of water for Fang Ping and placed it on the counter. “Sit. You’ve been gone for so long this time. Did anything interesting happen?”
Fang Ping sat down. It was probably still early today. There was no one in the shop, and Yuye had not arrived yet.
“It’s quite different this time in the Dark Forest.”
“How is it? Have you seen any Elves? Do they look the same as the Elves summoned by the summoning spell?”
“Uh… They’re all shooting arrows from afar. I don’t think I’ve seen them before.”
Fang Ping recalled that he really did not see any Elves.
Did that weird, bat-faced Elven Archer count?
“Teacher Fang Ping, I’m late.” Yuye rushed in with a small cloth bag in her hand.
“It’s fine. I just arrived as well.”
“So you were waiting for her.” Mina pulled up another chair and stepped into the counter to get a glass of water for Yuye.
Yuye sat down and handed the cloth bag to Fang Ping. “Teacher Fang Ping, there are a total of seventy-three silver dragons here. Count them.”
“Seventy-three silver dragons? Why are there so many?” Fang Ping took the heavy cloth bag. This was more than Fang Ping had expected.
“I came late because of this.” Yuye took out a piece of paper. There were all kinds of numbers densely written on it.
“This time, I spent a total of 63 silver dragons to buy the materials. Then, adding on the storage fee, the money to rent an ox cart, and the money to hire mercenaries, I spent a total of 75 silver dragons.
In the end, we sold a total of 238 silver dragons. In addition to our capital, we still had eight silver dragons. After deducting the taxes, three silver dragons were equivalent to 243 silver dragons.
“We agreed at that time, Teacher Fang Ping, you’ll take 30%, which is 72 Silver Dragons and 27 Bronze Horns. I’ve calculated it. 73 Silver Dragons, do you think so?”
Fang Ping looked at the densely packed paper. He felt a little dizzy from listening, but one of them was clear.
“So you bought 63 Silver Dragon contract materials and sold them for 240 Silver Dragons? That’s nearly four times!”
Yuye nodded. “More or less. I bought it at a low price and sold it at a high price. I earned a lot. Of course, I didn’t take the 20% information fee for nothing.”
Mina brought the water over and Yuye took it. She tilted her head back and finished it, a confident smile on her face.
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s fine.” Fang Ping put the cloth bag away.
Originally, Qing Niao had borrowed eighty silver dragons. Fang Ping only had six silver dragons left. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would be close to eighty silver dragons again?
If only such a good thing could happen a few more times.
Yuye took another sip of water and said, “We were lucky. We basically sold it at the highest price. Moreover, because of Andre, we sold it ourselves without paying for a commission or handling fee.
If we wait a few more days, our batch of goods will be wasted now that the Dark Forest is closed.”
“The Dark Forest is closed? Didn’t I hear that there was chaos there? The Mission Building issued many missions, and many mercenaries went over,” Mina asked.
“I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s closed. That’s why we came back.”
After chatting for a while, someone walked in and sat down to read.
Someone was reading a book. It would be embarrassing to continue chatting. Fang Ping stood up. “Then I’ll leave first.”
“I’m leaving too.”
“Yeah.”
Walking out of Mina’s bookstore with Yuye, Fang Ping planned to make a trip to the Professional Hall next.
Now that he had money, he could buy Skill Crystals. Fang Ping was looking forward to advancing to a Class 2 and learning Excellent-level skills.
“Teacher Fang Ping, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Okay.”
There were not many people in the Professional Hall at night. Most people would accumulate energy at night and would not come to practice their skills.
Walking into the skill exchange room, Fang Ping walked up to a staff member.
“Hello, I want to buy a Forbidden Spellcaster’s Superior Skill Crystal. What do you have? How much?”
“Excellent-grade?” He glanced at Fang Ping. “Is it Normal-grade or Excellent-grade?”
“Excellent-grade.” Fang Ping confirmed with him again.
“Excellent-grade. Currently, there’s only Magic Shield Blessing and Encourage. Holy Shock and Healing Circle are out of stock. Encourage costs 9,000 copper coins. Magic Shield Blessing costs 11,000 copper coins.”
“Can you explain a little to me?”
That person seemed a little impatient. He pouted and said, “Magic Shield Blessing is similar to an armor-type Forbidden Spell. It reduces the magic damage caused by two elements.
Encourage reduced the casting time of other skills.
Do you want to buy it?”
“What about Random Summoning? It’s Excellent-grade too.”
