Chapter 491: Chapter 32 The Card Level Squad is Slacking Off_1
The supervisor with brown curly hair and eyes twinkling with an eerie green light, Niusel, was sitting in Lin Yiyi’s house.
He unreservedly took a sip of the tea Lin Yiyi brewed for him and naturally revealed a very cheerful and sunny smile.
Although Niusel appeared to be at least 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and strong muscles, his smile seemed somewhat innocent... as if he were a carefree teenager of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Just looking at his smile seemed to be infectious.
"This tea is not bad, it’s from Noah, right!"
Niusel clapped his hands, joyfully picked up a piece of pastry, and praised, "The quality is really high, probably something you can only buy in the Royal Capital of Noah. I still have some tea from The Holy Nation at home, I’ll bring some over for you guys to try next time... Oh, this pastry is pretty good too!"
"This is just some random pastry bought on the street..."
Lin Yiyi smiled helplessly.
Someone with Niusel’s extremely extroverted personality, if placed in their world, would probably be considered a true socialite.
The real socialites are usually pretty decent people.
To be able to chat so happily for two hours with someone he had only met twice... and almost all the conversation was dominated by him, Lin Yiyi hardly said a few words.
In such a situation, Niusel didn’t feel awkward at all and was still able to smile so openly. This even led Lin Yiyi, who originally didn’t have much to say, to chat for a good while and indeed feel her mood improve.
—This was probably the reason why the person behind Niusel had sent him as a supervisor to interact with the three of them.
It was precisely because they knew Niusel’s character and his ability to mingle well with others that they kept sending him over to their side.
But what was the reason for this? What were they after? You’re a supervisor, and instead of patrolling the streets or sitting in your office, is it really okay for you to come here just to chat and drink tea?
And he didn’t come empty-handed either, bringing a few bottles of wine and several sets of clothes this time. There was also coffee powder—an exclusive product from the United Kingdom —yes, it was the first time the players had seen coffee in this world since their arrival.
Of course, they don’t call it coffee.
According to Niusel, these beans were known as "Highland Wine," a special product of Highland Island in the United Kingdom.
The raw material for "Highland Wine" was called "Highland Fruit," commonly used by locals as a type of wild medicinal herb. While it invigorated and cleared the mind, its most effective function was to prevent the sudden onset of nightmares.
When an echo was about to happen, consuming a small bottle of "Highland Wine" made by brewing about 80g to 100g of coffee powder could keep one awake for nearly a day without sleep. In areas where it was unclear whether one might enter a nightmare, this herbal remedy could effectively maintain clarity.
— Lin Yiyi thought to herself that just chugging these few ounces of coffee beans would likely keep you up all night without any ritual processing...
People in this world also had the illusion that "natural things are better for the body." Although a transformed Wizard could make wakefulness potions and energy recovery medicines, and the effects were even better.
But after all, "Highland Wine" was a natural plant. Many nobles in the United Kingdom preferred this and would give it as a gift to friends. Some nobles would consume a small amount of "Highland Wine" as a health regimen, "nourishing the brain."
Clearly, due to its price, it wasn’t yet compatible to be popularized as a beverage...
Yes. According to Niusel, this stuff was probably not going to be cheap.
Lin Yiyi was already thinking about whether to let the players roam around and dig up some coffee trees from the United Kingdom?
The soil of Noah was very fertile, and the land was also quite cheap.
She planned to get some "Highland Fruit" to see if they were indeed coffee beans.
This thing looked just like coffee no matter how you looked at it, and might just be the same thing. If it really had similar habits, by going out to do some research or buying a coffee tree cultivation guide, they could start real farming...
—Don’t you think teleportation circles are convenient for this? (With vibrato)
Doing some business was also quite nice. After all, they weren’t sure how long they were going to stay in this world... Even though earning money through quests indeed gave a sense of adventure, it would inevitably become tiresome after a while.
Just to be safe, it was better to get some industries started.
Old Goose and his group went to Nata County, also looking to get involved in the "Demon Blood" industry chain. The Longjing Tea matter had also been agreed upon with Kai, and afterward, they would recommend a portion of the new players to head to the once-destroyed Heath Tower of Black to change their class to a transformed Wizard.
On one hand, it was because Heath Tower of Black truly had many profitable formulas... On the other hand, Salvatore indeed needed such a group of strong "genius Wizards" as a central support to continue the development of Heath Tower of Black.
...But then again, coffee is so expensive.
Why give it to them?
They all three are Bronze-tier Transcendents, and the Underground City isn’t in need of Transcendents.
It would seem there’s no need to curry favor with them.
Could it be that they already know that I am actually under Prince Annan’s command?
Considering that Annan is about to inherit the Duchy of Winter, and the Sporogenesis Mill is right below it, it would be normal to give Annan some face.
...Surely not here to urge them to raid instances, right?
Could it be the "you can’t rest yet" routine?
This is already the second time.
The last time they came to deliver something, they also chatted with the three of them for a long while.
Although the chat was indeed joyful, after finishing they realized they had unwittingly wasted quite a lot of time—they would have preferred to spend that time studying how to play the instance or browsing the forums for a while.
If old Goose or Dragon Well was here, they could have a great chat. Other players probably couldn’t spare the enthusiasm.
So, during Niusel’s second visit, Jiu’er and the Four Dark Gang pushed out their captain Lin Yiyi as the front.
"—Please, Big Sis, you go ahead."
"—After you, your elderliness."
The remaining two continued to nestle in bed, snacking and browsing forums to their heart’s content.
In this world, no matter how much you eat, your real body won’t gain weight—not only does your real body stay unaffected, but even your body here won’t get fat. After all, the bodies of combat Transcendents need a lot of energy... Once the players realized this great news, they indulged in snacks and barbecues daily, quite wildly.
Indeed, the first thing they did after arriving at the Underground City’s Sporogenesis Mill was to ask passersby where to find tasty food and where to buy delicious snacks...
It was pretty relatable.
After all, they now had plenty of money—back at the Royal Capital, the Four Dark Gang sold several sets of traps; Jiu’er worked as enforcer for a month, having killed around twenty people and several Transcendents among them, earning a substantial sum.
And Lin Yiyi had earned even more.
The first time she passed through Gemstone Island, she managed to buy a lot of cheap gems in the name of Bishop Daryl at bargain prices. Once in Noah, even the least of these gems had tripled in value. A piece of polished ruby the size of a thumb sold for thirty Gold Coins directly.
—That’s how she could lend some money to old Goose yet still afford the gems necessary for her own advancement.
Lin Yiyi’s mood was also complex.
She never expected that her first pot of gold in the game would come from smuggling gems...
Apart from Dragon Well, who came from the Heath Tower of Black, fully equipped with potions and gear, they were among the wealthiest of players.
Of course, the other players didn’t expect them to bring back any special local products. As long as the transportation points could be successfully established, all other players could teleport down here anytime.
...The premise being, if the transportation points could be established successfully.
"Speaking of which, Niusel."
Lin Yiyi abruptly changed the subject, now asking, "The Sporogenesis Mill, this nightmare—has been here so long... do you have any information that we can refer to?"
Yes.
Embarrassing to say.
—They had been stuck at this stage for two whole days since they moved here.
