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 ters tall, with broad shoulders and strong muscles, his smile seed sowhat innocent... as if he were a carefree teenager of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Just looking at his smile seed 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 sothing you can only buy in the Royal Capital of Noah. I still have so tea from The Holy Nation at ho, I’ll bring so over for you guys to try next ti... Oh, this pastry is pretty good too!"
"This is just so random pastry bought on the street..."
Lin Yiyi smiled helplessly.
Soone with Niusel’s extrely 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 soone he had only t 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 co here just to chat and drink tea?
And he didn’t co empty-handed either, bringing a few bottles of wine and several sets of clothes this ti. There was also coffee powder—an exclusive product from the United Kingdom —yes, it was the first ti 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 dicinal 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 redy 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 transford Wizard could make wakefulness potions and energy recovery dicines, 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. So nobles would consu a small amount of "Highland Wine" as a health regin, "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 so coffee trees from the United Kingdom?
The soil of Noah was very fertile, and the land was also quite cheap.
She planned to get so "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 sa thing. If it really had similar habits, by going out to do so 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 so 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 beco tireso after a while.
Just to be safe, it was better to get so 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 recomnd a portion of the new players to head to the once-destroyed Heath Tower of Black to change their class to a transford 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 developnt 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 so 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 ti.
The last ti they ca to deliver sothing, 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 ti—they would have preferred to spend that ti 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 ti she passed through Gemstone Island, she managed to buy a lot of cheap gems in the na 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 so money to old Goose yet still afford the gems necessary for her own advancent.
Lin Yiyi’s mood was also complex.
She never expected that her first pot of gold in the ga would co from smuggling gems...
Apart from Dragon Well, who ca 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 anyti.
...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.
