Chapter 189 Refusal to accept processing!!!
The believers of the Church of Knowledge went out to kill monsters during this period, mostly to earn knowledge points and legendary experience rewards.
As for the materials on the monsters.
The older believers didn't care much.
Because their goals were different.
The believers who were recruited by Pete at the beginning were almost all refugees who were desperate and had the worst life. Their only request was to survive, as long as they could survive.
The materials with benign abnormalities were not only troublesome to collect, but more importantly, the biggest use of this thing was to send it to the small market on the other side of the border defense line and sell it to merchants who specialized in purchasing.
Although it can make a lot of money, many adventurers make a living by doing this.
But the requirements of the earliest believers hardly required money!
In the past, they lacked money because they couldn't buy food, wear clothes, or live without money.
Money is the guarantee of their survival.
Now, the guarantee of survival has been replaced by knowledge points!
As long as you can get enough knowledge points, you can be completely self-sufficient in the Misty Valley.
With the existence of the Creation Altar, food, clothing, and shelter are all satisfied.
If they do not leave the Misty Valley, money will have no effect on them.
On the contrary, the refugees newly recruited by Hugo are in a different situation.
The situation of this group of refugees is slightly better, not so miserable that they cannot make a living. Although they stay in the refugee camp, they can find some odd jobs at ordinary times.
Their requirements for life are not just to survive.
Their appeal is to get rid of the refugee status as soon as possible and even have a better life.
If you want to have a better life, you need more gold coins.
After all, some things cannot be produced in the Misty Valley now. If you want them, you have to use gold coins to buy them in the Kingdom of Reyak.
Seeing that Hugo can quickly make a lot of gold coins with such a simple two-way reselling method, these people also have similar ideas.
To start the first pot of gold needed, they set their sights on the materials on the monsters that were eliminated.
...
In the Misty Valley, there are a few more believers setting up stalls to purchase in the market of the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
"Buy all kinds of monster materials!"
"Don't waste the materials collected from the monsters you killed, buy them at a high price!"
"Bone materials, 1 jin can be exchanged for 0.5 knowledge points, buy as many as you can!"
"Monster meat materials, 1 jin for 0.4 knowledge points!"
"Other materials are also accepted!"
After a series of price calls, their purchase prices basically stabilized, and everyone tacitly unified their prices to the same level.
No one raised or lowered the price.
Take the received monster materials across the dark forest, sneak across the border, find merchants, exchange them for the corresponding coins, and then exchange them for minerals.
Finally, bring large and small bags of iron materials to the blacksmith shop newly established by Maren in the Misty Valley.
After receiving the news, Maren, who rushed back from outside the valley, was full of questions: "What's going on?"
"You all want me to make armor?!"
After learning that he could use knowledge points to exchange various divine arts for learning after believing in the God of Knowledge, Maren was not idle during this period, because he also had more casting divine arts that he wanted to master.
For example, the casting magic he has mastered can only support him to process things like iron into equipment.
If you want to make more powerful equipment, you need to use some materials found from monsters.
These materials are not in short supply in the Dark Forest, but the problem is that if there is no corresponding magic to bless them during the forging process, the effect of the materials cannot be exerted at all, and it may even have a counter-effect.
Because the number of equipment that believers in the Misty Valley can digest is limited.
After making a batch, Maren has nothing to do. Weapons with reliable quality are not so easy to damage, and no one will come to him for repairs for a while.
There is no chance to complete the tasks related to the "Forger" life profession, and you can't get the corresponding knowledge points.
Maren is thinking about forming a team to destroy monsters in the Dark Forest.
Anyway, he is now a level 1 professional.
The knowledge points are enough. He exchanged a few professional combat skills and magic of the ranger route, and it is definitely more than enough to go out with other believers to destroy some level 0 and level 1 monsters.
As a result, not long after he went out, he was called back by these believers with various metal minerals using the messenger magic.
They said they wanted to ask him to help forge some things.
Malen had no objection.
He could complete the relevant tasks given by the God of Knowledge by forging equipment and the like, and he could also get knowledge points as rewards.
According to the price Hugo gave him last time:
"For light armor, I will charge you 10 points for processing one piece. Is that okay?"
Several believers who came with raw materials nodded vigorously, as if they were afraid that Malen would regret it.
While the furnace was lit and the temperature was waiting to reach the standard, Malen asked casually: "Why did you make so many? Will you use them all?"
The believers thought about it and decided not to hide it from Malen.
"The light armor you made was transported to the border defense line by Mr. Xiwei. It's selling like crazy at 99 silver coins per set. Adventurers are eager to raise the price to buy it."
"I heard that someone has offered 1 gold coin and 25 silver coins to buy the light armor made by the dwarf forging master Maren at a premium..."
Maren was stunned.
"What the hell?!"
After pondering for a while, he finally realized the twists and turns.
"Yes! Why the hell am I only busy selling here!"
"With such a vast market in the Kingdom of Reyak, how much money can I make!"
He finally realized why Hugo dared to say that he "wanted it all"!
It turned out that there was nothing wrong with it!
His mindset had not changed in time, and he subconsciously felt that his things were only sold to the locals.
In the Misty Valley, there were only so many believers in the Church of Knowledge, and their consumption capacity was very limited. No matter how much he produced, the demand was there.
But it was different "outside the valley"!
As long as the equipment was of excellent quality, there was no need to worry about selling it, and it was even in short supply.
He didn't need to worry about sales at all!
As long as there were enough materials, he could let go and maximize the production capacity, and he could completely rely on the price advantage to smash this market!
Maren was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
Loss, loss.
No wonder Hugo insisted that he process all the materials, because there was no need to worry about selling them.
In the end, he only earned the processing fee?
He was the owner of the technology!
Although in the future, there will be other people in Misty Valley who will learn the divine arts of the God of Casting and the knowledge of forging equipment and become Maren's peer competitors.
But at least now, this craft is exclusively mastered by Maren!
This money should be earned by him!
The next day, a conspicuous sign was erected outside the blacksmith shop.
"Buying high-quality iron materials and refined iron at high prices!"
"Selling finished weapons and armor! Discounted prices!"
"Trading with knowledge points or gold coins of the Kingdom of Reyak!"
"Temporarily refuse to accept processing!!!"
"Repeat, refuse to accept processing!!!"
