Chapter 2 Stand-alone System
"Store" is the most practical function in Su Ze's system.
According to Su Ze's research, this store refreshes every five days, and the refresh time is when the dawn rises.
Su Ze opened the store. There were only three grids in the entire store. The "goods" for sale were in the grids, and the prices of the "goods" were below the grids.
One purple, one green and one white?
Su Ze showed joy on his face. According to his research, the goods in this "store" were also divided into "levels". According to the experience and analysis he gained from playing online games in his previous life, the levels of "goods" were white, green, blue, purple, etc.
The reason why there is a "wait" is because Su Ze has not yet obtained a product higher than "purple". He can only speculate that like most games, there are higher levels above purple.
However, even if the store had ever produced purple-level products, Su Ze could not afford it at the time, and could only watch the purple armor being refreshed by the store.
At that time, Su Ze could only secretly comfort himself that in the Northern Wei Dynasty, privately storing armor was a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the clan, so he could just buy it later when he got it.
It has been nearly two months since I came to this world, and the store has been refreshed ten times, but except for one purple item, the number of blue items that appeared is very few, and most of the time it is "blue sky and white clouds".
But every time he saw the price under the product, Su Ze comforted himself that the blue sky and white clouds were also good, and although purple and blue things were nice, he couldn't afford them.
This time it was purple again! I have already saved up 500 wentai and 5 baht, maybe I can buy it!
At this time, the outside of the city gradually became lively. Su Ze found a deserted place and checked the goods that were refreshed this time.
His eyes narrowed, and this time it seemed a little, different?
Only the first two items are old friends. Su Ze has seen them many times. These two items are:
[Poor quality stone Buddha statues]
Grade: White;
Effect: None;
Comment: "Both the material and the carving are very ordinary stone Buddha statues, which can only be worshipped in the Buddhist niches of ordinary people's homes."
Price: 2 wen taihe wuzhu coins.
Su Ze immediately chose to exchange it, only to see that the number on the upper right corner of the product had decreased by two, and a Buddha statue as long as his forearm appeared in his hand.
Su Ze immediately put the Buddha statue into his personal warehouse. The Northern Wei Dynasty was a place of great Buddhist worship. Although this kind of stone Buddha statue was evaluated as inferior by the system, it could still be sold for 10 wen Tai and baht coins on the market.
Relying on the difference between system pricing and market price, Su Ze also made some money from store refreshes to supplement his family income.
The second item is also an old friend.
【Ordinary wooden handle knife】
Grade: Green;
Effect: None;
Comments: "This is a simple iron knife with a wooden handle. It is too difficult to use it to kill enemies on the battlefield. I can only buy it for self-defense."
Price: 10 wen taihe wuzhu coins.
Su Ze also immediately chose to buy it, and an ordinary knife appeared in Su Ze's hand.
This knife was similar to the one he had bought before. The blade was not very sharp and was far inferior to the weapons issued by the Imperial Guards.
However, even such a knife could be sold for 20 wentai and baht coins in the market.
It was calculated that these two items allowed Su Ze to earn 18 wentai and five zhu coins. You should know that as an ordinary soldier of the Yulin Army, his monthly salary was less than fifty wen, and even this fifty wen was often in arrears.
The original owner of this body had lost both his parents and had to raise a younger sister, so his life was very difficult.
This unfortunate fellow just happened to like to be generous and often helped the Han soldiers who were in the same predicament, so he was hated by the Xianbei soldiers in the army and beaten and severely injured.
Because the family had no money to see a doctor, he died, which allowed Su Ze's soul to travel through time and space in this body. After traveling through time and space, Su Ze took the initiative to avoid the fighting in the army, and used the system to resell goods, so that the family's life gradually became more affluent.
Su Ze's eyes were on the third item. The price of this purple item made Su Ze ecstatic, but after reading the description he frowned again. He didn't expect that such a "item" could be purchased in the mall.
[A horse slave who is proficient in horse selection]
Grade: Purple;
Effect: None;
Comment: "An ordinary frontier town riding slave, good at judging horses."
Price: 500 wen tai and 10 baht coins, and a maintenance fee of wen tai and baht coins is required every month.
The icon for this "product" is a servant leading a horse.
I didn’t expect the system would sell living people?
And unlike other commodities, the price of this "commodity" in the system is higher than the market price.
Although Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty called for the abolition of slavery during his Sinicization reforms, there were actually several "ya markets" in Luoyang city that specialized in selling all kinds of slaves.
Not to mention the retainers and followers of the powerful families. Although they are not slaves, their personal dependence relationship is actually similar to that of master and servant.
Ordinary people in Luoyang City would also buy some servants at the market to help with farming or housework.
Over the years, wars broke out everywhere outside Luoyang, the Rouran in the north were also restless, and the south was at war with the Liang Dynasty. The founding emperor of the Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yan, was not yet the Xiao Bodhisattva who devoted himself to the temple in his later years. Instead, he paid attention to government affairs and corrected the bad policies since the Song and Qi dynasties.
On the contrary, the Northern Wei Dynasty gradually declined due to the chaos of Empress Dowager Hu and the whole nation's worship of Buddhism.
As the situation grew, so did the southern counties and cities, and more and more people fled to Luoyang.
Ordinary slaves in the Ya market only need a few dozen wentai and five baht coins, and there is no need to spend extra money to support them.
Looking at the balance in the upper right corner of the system, Su Ze had saved up 500 Wen Tai and Wu Zhu by selling goods generated by the system these days.
Why is the price of this purple slave so much more expensive than the slaves in the Ya market?
Use all your belongings to buy a riding slave? But you don't even have a horse, so what's the point of raising a riding slave?
Moreover, as a time traveler, Su Ze also has a psychological resistance to slaves.
He closed the store interface. Anyway, the next system refresh would take five days, so it wouldn't be too late to buy then.
Just as Su Ze was about to exit the system, a golden exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the map button.
This was a situation that Su Ze had never seen since he awakened the system. He quickly opened the map and saw a golden exclamation mark appear on the map near the Siyi Pavilion not far away.
This is? Mission?
Su Ze zoomed in on the map again and found that the golden exclamation mark was moving slowly in Sitong City next to Siyi Pavilion. Could it be that this mission was for a merchant in the market?
In addition to indicating the degree of danger, I didn’t expect that the map system has new functions.
However, there is no hint for this task, and no one knows what benefits it can bring to Su Ze.
Suddenly, Su Ze's stomach growled and he felt a strong sense of hunger. Then he remembered that he had been hungry for a long time since he went on duty.
Sitong City is one of the four major markets in Luoyang. Su Ze thought of the mutton Hu pancake that his younger sister had bought in Sitong City, and he couldn't help but sip.
Today the system gave me 18 wentai and five zhu coins. I'm going to buy some hubing to improve my diet.
Having made up his mind, Su Ze quickly walked around the yard behind Longhua Temple, crossed the bustling Yong Bridge, and entered the Sitong Market which had just opened.
At the same time, a young man with an extraordinary appearance, holding a straw in his mouth, was driving a few northern horses and strolling around the city of Sitong. As he walked, he shouted:
"This is a top-notch Huaishuo horse. Those who are not good at judging horses should not ask!"
