The Original World Of Plane Trading

Chapter 57 Harvest

 Wu Nuo suppressed his excitement, and after reading all the trade items put out by the orc, he changed the topic to the pile of things that had been confirmed by the system to be coal, "...what is this thing? It's not black, Can you eat it?" The

huge leopard flicked its tail and said listlessly: "It can't be eaten, but it can be used as firewood." In the cold winter of last year, he accidentally discovered that the black stones in the cursed land could be used as firewood, which made The slaves picked up a lot of them, and he happily told the big witch what he found, but the big witch said that these stones were cursed by the beast gods, and anyone who burned these black stones would die.

After listening to the great witch, he threw all the black stones away, but his slave couldn't bear the cold, so he secretly picked up those stones and burned them. After burning for several days, nothing happened.

When the other slaves saw it, they quietly picked up some black stones and burned them behind their master's back, but they were all fine.

This kind of black stone was everywhere in the cursed land less than a day's journey from the tribe. Later, when the winter was halfway through, some pure people's homes did not have enough firewood to burn, and they couldn't stand the cold. Together they went to pick up some black stones and came back to use them as firewood. Later, even the orcs ran to pick it up.

Because nothing happened, the big witch warned several times but no one listened. Instead, the whole tribe burned this black stone.

Then something went wrong.

The tribe has two second-level orc warriors and their three cubs. They died without a sound. They died with their eyes and mouths open. They seemed to be trying to ask for help, but their slaves slept in a wooden house separated by a wall. Among the five slaves, none of them heard the voice.

The big witch concluded that they were killed by a curse, and forbade the tribe to burn the black stone again.

But the cold winter is so cold that many people are dubious about the curse. Compared with the fact that the Temu family was killed by the curse, everyone is more willing to believe that they died of poisonous food by mistake. Many slaves and firewood at home Those who are not enough to burn are still quietly burning black stones behind their backs.

However, not long after, another pure family of four died quietly, in exactly the same manner as the Temu family.

Now, the people in the tribe completely believe that the black stone carries an unknown curse, and everyone would rather be frozen than burn the black stone. And because he brought the black stone back to the tribe, which eventually caused this disaster, he was severely punished by the big witch and the leader, and his candidacy for the leader's successor was disqualified. Deprive residents of qualifications and become slaves.

But he was not reconciled, so many people burned black stones, and he would be fine if he burned them, but how many people had accidents? It must be the wrong way for them to burn the black stone!

Leopard is a very stubborn orc, and even ten dragon beasts can't pull back what he believes.

However, from a certain point of view, the leopard is actually the truth to a certain extent.

Carbon monoxide poisoning or something, it is indeed the wrong way to burn coal _ (: 3ゝ∠) _

Leopard who refuses to admit defeat, this time he managed to win the opportunity to participate in the tribal gathering, except for bringing the stone tools he polished , and brought a large bag of black stones.

The warriors of the tribe saw that he still did not give up on the black stone, so they stayed away from him, and said that they would tell the big witch and the leader when they went back.

Hmph, just sue, are you afraid they won't succeed? !

Golden Leopard is a very honest and good orc. Seeing that Wu Nuo was interested in Black Stone, he told Wu Nuo the whole story. Anyway, he has said everything that should be said, whether he is willing to exchange or not is a matter for this little pure person in front of him.

After thinking for a while, Wu Nuo said, "I am the heir of the great witch's bloodline. Maybe my witch power is too weak. I didn't feel the power of the curse on these stones. Can you trade these black stones to me? I will take them back." Let the big witch of our tribe take a look." The

golden leopard saw Wu Nuo very strangely, but it was the chubby cat and beast cub who had been following him all the time. Nervous, he didn't think much, and asked, "Which tribe do you belong to?"

"Changhe tribe."

The Great Witch of the Changhe Tribe is... Witch Power! Lord Wu Quan is the most powerful and knowledgeable witch around. If he said that the black stone has no curse power, then the black stone must be fine!

Leopard's eyes lit up, stood up from the ground, and said solemnly: "I gave you these black stones, but you have to tell me what Master Wu Quan said."

Wu Nuo was straightforward and stubborn about this . The orc had a good sense, nodded and smiled and said, "No problem, I'm going back to the station right now. I'll come here to find you in the afternoon after I ask the big witch .

"

In a good mood, he not only gave the coal to Wu Nuo in vain, but also gave him a worn-out wolf skin for packing for free.

After walking for a long distance, Bai suddenly jumped up, and with the help of the slave standing behind Wu Nuo, jumped onto Wu Nuo's shoulder. After standing still, he asked Wu Nuo in a low voice: "Nuo, what was that thing just now?" He, the black stone Wu Nuo bought was not simple. Although Wu Nuo hid it well, he still saw the excitement and excitement that he hid.

Wu Nuo also bought a lot of things in the morning, but nothing made him so happy.

Wu Nuo raised his hand and scratched Bai's chubby chin, and said with a smile, "Good thing. By the way, have you ever been to the Dashi Tribe?"

Bai squinted his eyes in comfort, and Gululu said vaguely: "Woo... no Been there."

"Then have you heard the legend of the cursed land?"

"I've heard it from the great witch."

"Then tell me, what is going on with this cursed land."

Bai tried hard to control himself and wanted to close his eyes The impulse to doze off, flicking his tail once and for all, whispered to Wu Nuo about the cursed land of the Dashi tribe.

The so-called cursed land is not far from the Dashi tribe. The black soil is thousands of miles away, but the vegetation is barren. In many places, not even a blade of grass grows. If you stay in it for a long time, you will easily lose your way, and you will be trapped in it to death.

In addition to these, there are many other legends about the cursed land. For example, decades ago, the beast god was furious and sent fire from the sky. A mountain in the cursed land burned for half a month. After praying for half a month, the beast god calmed down, and it rained for several days before finally extinguishing the burning stone mountain.

Once in the Dashi tribe, there was a group of orc warriors who made mistakes and refused to obey the tribe's discipline. They defected from the tribe without authorization, fled in panic, ran into the cursed land, and never came out again. Later, the Dashi tribe sent people in to find them However, what they found were several rotting corpses. No one knows how they died, it can only be attributed to the curse of God in the end.

In the Black Forest area, the Cursed Lands and the Death Lands are both famous and fierce places. People often use them to frighten disobedient children, and usually try to avoid those ominous places as far as possible.

Ignorance, so fear. It is obviously a rare treasure land, but it is mistaken for a fierce land.

Wu Nuo sighed in his heart, while thinking about how to get the cursed land.

Although Wu Nuo didn't read much, he still knew the importance of coal. Even in modern foodie countries, coal is still the main industrial energy source and an important strategic resource for a country.

Of course, he doesn't need coal for too high a purpose now. In the short term, it only needs to replace firewood to heat the tribe and burn bricks. In the long run, it can be used to smelt metals.

Iron weapons already exist in this world, and it is only a matter of time before it transitions to the age of cold weapons.

The only few history textbooks in junior high school tell the world with many bloody historical facts that every revolutionary change in productivity is accompanied by ambition, war and death.

Most of the slaves who were bought and sold like livestock at tribal gatherings were from defeated tribes. The defeated orcs have the opportunity to join the winning tribe, but the pure people can only be marked as slaves.

The wars between tribes will not stop, but will become more and more intense as time goes by, because the transition from scattered tribes to city-states and then to kingdoms is an inevitable historical process, and the Xanadu, which is not affected by the world, has always been just human beings. A good wish can only be a wish.

And in this inevitable historical process, if you don't want to be a victim under the wheel of history, you can only become the controller who firmly grasps the reins.

The opportunity was in front of Wu Nuo, why did he give up, why did he give up?

At this moment, Wu Nuo may not have thought of such a long-term, so thorough, but he has already seen the tail of the opportunity, what he needs to do now is to seize it as much as possible!

After the clay in the land of death, the black stone in the land of the curse once again refreshed the big witch's understanding of Wu Nuo. Now he is more and more curious about how powerful and rich the Yanhuang tribe Wu Nuo was talking about.

Bai Damiao flicked his tail triumphantly beside him, the little angel came from the land of the gods, of course the land of the gods is different The significance of this black stone named 'coal' has been guessed.

The cursed land occupies a large area. Although it is near the Dashi tribe, because the place is too evil, the Dashi tribe did not include it in their sphere of influence. But if they know the real value of these coals, can they give up the fat on the rim of their bowls?

Obviously impossible.

Therefore, the best way at this stage is to avoid the people of the Dashi tribe, quietly collect coal from the cursed land away from the Dashi tribe, and then keep it hidden for as long as possible.

There were too many people, and Wu Nuo and Da Wu couldn't discuss this matter too deeply, and many topics were left to the end.

In the afternoon, after Wu Nuo had something to eat, he filled his leather bag with salt and continued to go to the assembly.

He kept his promise to find the golden leopard and told him the opinion of the 'big witch': "Master Jin, the big witch said that he did not perceive any power of curse, but the legend of the cursed land has been passed down for a long time, and the cursed land did happen. There are many strange things, so he can't tell whether those black stones have been cursed by the beast god. The big witch also said that when he goes back, he will try those black stones himself. However, I think maybe your idea is right After all, so many people burned black stones, why did some people die while others were fine? Maybe the problem is not with the black stones themselves."

Standing on the interests of the tribe, it was impossible for Wu Nuo to fully explain the value of coal ; but from the point of view of conscience, he will not use wrong information to mislead a person who discovers coal and sticks to his point of view. The only thing he can do is to give appropriate hints. As for whether Jin can discover the mystery, it is up to him.

Moreover, for these aborigines, the biggest role of coal at this stage is to act as firewood to heat them. The cold winter is not easy, Wu Nuo can't go against his conscience and fool others to guard Baoshan and freeze to death.

After getting this answer, Jin felt a little bit disappointed, but he was still very touched when he heard that Wu Quan was willing to try it himself, and said to Wu Nuo with a smile: "Then next year when the tribe gathers, I will ask Lord Wu Quan again. Ask."

"Okay."

After leaving the leopard, Wu Nuo and Bai continued to walk around the rally.

The Muyuan tribe often exchanged needs with other tribes. In addition to exchanging a large amount of coarse salt, they also brought back special products that only distant tribes had.

Wu Nuo hugged Bai and finally squeezed onto the stone platform of the Muyuan tribe. On the huge stone platform, there were not many bamboo tubes containing coarse salt left, and the mountains of salt meat were exchanged by various tribes, leaving only some moldy rot Too much rotten meat. After the collective material exchange of the tribe was completed, the residents of the Muyuan tribe set up stalls on the stone platform.

Wu Nuo looked all the way, and used the information provided by the system to exchange some rare herbs with strange medicinal effects. It is a pity that these herbs are all dried, and only a few plants have seeds, and the others have no seeds. .

Walking and stopping, picking and picking, Wu Nuo hadn't finished browsing the stone platform, the slave who came out with him had already run back and forth several times, and the cowhide bag collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While strolling around, Wu Nuo was suddenly caught by a light brown object.

Is that...cloth?

Wu Nuo walked over quickly, and was about to try his hand, but was stopped by a giant orc over two meters tall: "Don't touch it!"

Wu Nuo quickly calmed the big cat that was about to explode, and asked Said: "What is this? Why can't I touch it?"

"This is cloth. I bought it from a super tribe at a great price." Country bumpkins passing through the city show off the prosperity of the city to their fellow countrymen.

Wu Nuo used the system to inquire about the material information of this piece of fabric, pretending not to understand and asking: "Cloth? What is it used for?"

A line of information appeared on the control panel that no one else could see: Unknown plant fiber, weavable fabric , high softness, air permeability, and strong flexibility.

Wu Nuo didn't know anything about this world before, and he didn't know the system's transaction rules (loopholes) or holes (holes), and he was so busy that he was dizzy, Xiao Nei Nei needed to change and exchange directly from the system. In his impression, cotton ones were the cheapest, so he exchanged them for pure cotton underwear without hesitation. It wasn't until he saw this piece of cloth of unknown material and rough workmanship just now that he realized that the world could already spin cloth. Logically speaking, the system shouldn't ask for so many transaction points.

It wasn't until he saw the words 'unknown plant fiber' that Wu Nuo suddenly realized that the reason was not in the system, but that there was no such thing as cotton in this world (╯‵口′)╯︵┻━┻He was purely driven by himself His habitual thinking was tricked.

At the beginning, he bought those little underwear, but he spent thousands of points. If he didn't find out by accident today, he doesn't know how many wronged points he would have paid. !

Thousands of beasts whizzed by in Wu Nuo's heart, and he hadn't recovered from the huge blow and severe heartache. The system that had been silent for a long time began to issue tasks to him——

【Compulsory task five: Find and plant the unknown Plant

mission time limit: 1 year

Mission reward: 5000 points, blueprint of low-level human loom] Well, the system finally has a conscience, the difficulty of this mission is not too high, and the rewards look pretty good... But it's not an egg, even if Without blueprints, he could also take advantage of loopholes and ask Wang Sanhu to bring the looms to the trading area, and after looking at them himself, he could make as many machines as he wanted, which might be more advanced than the rewards given to him by the system!

System: Hehe.

There is no room for resistance in the compulsory task, Wu Nuo took the task lazily, no one knew about his interaction with the system, the giant orc smacked his lips and said: "Of course it is used to make clothes, only big people in the super tribe can wear cloth Clothes made of cloth." That's strange, except for slaves who can't wear clothes made of cloth, other orcs and pure humans will wear them. And the cloth he exchanged back was only worn by ordinary people. The clothes worn by orcs and big shots were all brightly colored, and some had patterns, which were many times better than this kind of cloth. He changed a lot from the super tribe, but he didn't expect that those uninformed guys in the tribe were not rare at all, and would rather wear animal skins than buy his cloth. Uh, that little goblin in the market is really hard to figure out ＿(:3ゝ∠)＿Wu

Nuo intuitively felt that the giant orc man in front of him was not telling the truth, but he didn't care too much. He pretended to be fascinated and curious, and asked : "Really? How do you plan to exchange these cloths?"

"At least 20 barrels of salt." He exchanged these cloths with animal skins from the Changhe Tribe. 10 pieces of Longfang hides were exchanged for a bundle of cloth, and he exchanged a total of 30 bundles. , so far a bundle has not been sold.

"It's too expensive, 5 tubes of salt."

"15 tubes of salt, no less!"

"Just 5 tubes, I'll leave if I don't trade." Wu Nuo looked like he could buy it or not.

The orc giant made the calculations silently in his heart. In previous years, 1 tube of salt could be exchanged for 5 pieces of long tooth skins from the Changhe Tribe, but this year it can be exchanged for 8 pieces. He exchanged 10 pieces of long-tooth leather for a bundle of cloth, and 5 barrels of salt... I'm a little anxious because I don't have enough fingers, but I can make money anyway.

In the end, the orc giant sold 3 bundles of cloth to Wu Nuo at the price of 5 barrels of salt for each bundle of cloth.

It's a pity that the orc giant has no idea what kind of cloth the other tribe uses, let alone the seeds.

Fortunately, the time given by the system is relatively sufficient. At worst, after the cold winter, let Bai take him to find the seeds, and take a look at what those so-called super tribes are like.

This was the first time that Wu Nuo took the initiative to go out and have a look.

Although the workmanship of these cloths is very rough, as the evaluation given by the system, it feels very soft and comfortable, not inferior to the touch of cotton cloth.

He went back to make a good pair of clothes, and looked at Bai who obediently followed beside him.

Well, do two for Bai.

For some reason, Wu Nuo's mind suddenly appeared in the human form of Bai Junmei, and his ears burned for no reason.

Wu Xiaonuo, whose thoughts had entered a fork in the road, completely forgot that he had never made clothes at all!

After browsing the last few stalls on the stone platform, Wu Nuo didn't find anything of particular interest.

Squeezing down from the other side of the stone platform, Wu Nuo just took a few steps, then froze in place, his face was pale—a

boa constrictor! A litter of pythons! All pythons!

Help! ! !

"Don't be afraid, they are all orcs from the valley tribe! They are not snakes and beasts." Bai looked at Wu Nuo worriedly, feeling his completely disordered heartbeat and slightly trembling body, the big cat was very distressed, and glanced across the river The Gu Beastman had extremely gloomy and unkind eyes.

The giant pythons felt a strong hostility, and they stood up one after another, spitting out red letters and making terrible hissing sounds.

Emma, ​​it's even more terrifying! Wu Nuo hugged Bai tightly, almost crying. What he feared the most in his life was snakes, not one of them.

In the past, when he saw snake-shaped toys, he would dodge far away, but now he saw so many giant pythons at such a close distance, it was no different from falling into a snake's nest, not only the hair on his whole body, but even the small heart It's almost exploding!

The little angel is really too timid.

Bai was very distressed and helpless, but deep in his heart flashed a very secret and inhumane emotion.

Wu Nuo was too frightened to move, his mind went blank, suddenly a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and after a while, he was hugged into a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can hurt you." The

cold and magnetic voice was full of unquestionable arrogance.

With the familiar voice and the familiar warmth, Wu Nuo felt as if he had been fished out of the ice hole all of a sudden, and there seemed to be a warm current flowing through his heart, and it seemed to be mixed with something else. Wu Nuo didn't think about it, but just thought, um, my big white cat is really not for nothing ︿(￣︶￣)︿ At this time, an arrogant and feminine female voice came from the side: "It's a big tone, and I'm not afraid to flash my tongue "

Following the voice, Bai Mian looked over expressionlessly, his blue eyes were cold and menacing.

Boa constrictor: OK, look good! I have never seen such a beautiful orc!

A gray light flashed, and the pitch-black giant python turned into an exquisite beauty, tall and slender, with black hair reaching to the ground, picturesque eyebrows, snow-skinned and jade-like appearance.

"I, I want to have a baby with you!" The little princess of the valley tribe said shyly, her voice was very charming.

Bai: ...

Wu Nuo: ...
