Original God: I Can Brush Experience Points

Chapter 31 Complex
After moving to Fallingberry Street, Sanborn's fishing tackle shop was a little far away.

Yula left with her front feet, and Li Qiuzhi tied the scimitar around her waist with her back feet and went out. The arrows of the hunting bow were almost scrapped, and they didn't need to carry them temporarily because they were entrusted to clean up the monsters in the wild.

Today, the weather is not good.

Li Qiuzhi, who was walking between the streets and alleys, looked up at the sky, it was hazy, there were no dark clouds and no sun.

In order to catch up with the time, Li Qiuzhi started to trot and overtook a slow-moving carriage carrying goods, which attracted the curious attention of the groom wearing a hat.

Li Qiuzhi smiled politely back, and then ran a little faster.

About ten minutes later, his body had just warmed up, and the fishing tackle shop arrived. The gray-haired Sanborn was cleaning the shop with a broom.

It seems that they did not see Li Qiuzhi's arrival.

"Hi, Mr. Sanborn." Li Qiuzhi called behind him in a calm tone.

Hearing the voice, Sanborn turned around with a broom, and said with bright eyes, "Oh, here you come, young adventurer of Liyue."

"Yes, I agreed to accept your commission yesterday evening, hehe."

Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.

"Oh..." Mentioning what happened yesterday, Sanborn fell into a state of sighing again. He put the broom on the wall at the door and leaned against it. "Please come in, and I will explain it to you in detail."

The two came to the counter in the store, and Sanborn walked inside and asked Li Qiuzhi to wait for a while.

Sanborn took out a stack of paper documents from the drawer under the counter, opened the silver metal clip, and took down the top two papers.

He handed it to Li Qiuzhi and said, "Let's take a look first."

Li Qiuzhi stretched out his hand to take it in doubt, not quite understanding what was going on, he stood and carefully looked at the words recorded on the paper.

Fruit stuffed bait: [-] catties, [-] moras;

Tarn simple fishing net: five cards, [-] moras;
Tarn brand hard bamboo fishing rods: ten pairs, thirty thousand moras;
In addition to the above information, there are many other things such as fish baskets, rain hats, raincoats, etc. This is a purchase receipt with a total value of 55 moras.

There doesn't seem to be anything strange at this glance.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the second receipt. It was the same goods, but the price had almost increased by about 20.00%.

The total cargo volume has increased from 55 Morats to 70 Morats.

The two receipts showed that the two purchase dates were less than two weeks past.

Compared with Liyue and Daozuma, the fishing industry in the Mond area, especially in Mond City, is not prosperous at all. After all, although the fruit wine lake is large, it is limited.

Therefore, generally speaking, the prices of related fishing gear and supplies will be relatively stable, and should not rise so much in a short period of time.

"Could it be that someone is profiting from it?" Li Qiuzhi asked in surprise.

"I think. Yes." Sanborn was a little silent in his words, then moved the remaining stack of purchase receipts in front of him, pointed to the top one and said, "This is the original price."

Hearing this, Li Qiuzhi couldn't help taking a look. There were almost the same number of goods, but the total cost was only about 40 moras.

"Could it be that old friend of Mr. Sanborn's?"

Li Qiuzhi thought of the object of Sanborn's sigh yesterday evening.

Sanborn said as if recalling while putting away the receipt:
"At that time, I had just retired, and seeing that I had nothing to do, my son suggested that I open a fishing tackle shop, and I happily agreed.

"But my son is too busy, all the preparations are done by me, it's okay, it's better to say that I enjoy the feeling of being busy again.

"My good friend Luka I met when I was looking for purchase channels. He is one of the sales directors of the Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory. Our friendship was established during these ten years."

That said, they are indeed very good old friends, after all, they have known each other for more than ten years.Li Qiuzhi thought silently in his heart.

"When the price was raised for the first time, I asked him what happened. He said that the factory's raw materials were robbed by monsters during transportation, and the price increase was only temporary due to insufficient materials."

Sanborn continues:

"At that time, although his words flashed, I didn't care, I believed him, after all, he is my old friend.

"The second time I felt a little strange, I couldn't be robbed by monsters twice in a row, right? After learning the lesson, don't they know how to hire a few powerful adventurers to protect them?
"With doubts, I went to the Tarn factory and asked the employees there. They said that there was no news of a price increase in the near future. At this time, I knew that the problem was my old friend Lucar."

Li Qiuzhi nodded after listening, and asked simply guessing:
"So Mr. Sanborn wants me to find evidence of Luka's violation?"

Sanborn patted his gray-haired head and said softly:

"No, of course not. With so many years of friendship, I know very well that Lucar must not be such a despicable villain. He must have encountered a hurdle in his life that he couldn't get over.

"I don't want to shame my old friend by questioning him face to face. Young adventurer, all you need to do is help me find out what happened to him recently. Please help him if you can, and I will give you a satisfactory reward."

Li Qiuzhi was a little surprised. He thought it was a simple script of finding evidence and arresting people, but he didn't expect it to be quite complicated.

A cool breeze blew in, and the tip of Li Qiuzhi's hair twitched lightly on his forehead. Now that his emotions were here, of course he had no reason to refuse.

"So that's it, Mr. Sanborn, leave this matter to me, and I will try to help you investigate it."

Li Qiuzhi showed a smile on his face, and patted his heart in agreement.

"Well, then please, I really don't want any accidents for Lukaal. He lives at No. 86 Dandelion Street. If you can't find it, you can go to Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory to look for it."

After Sanborn said the matter, he obviously relaxed a lot, and the frown between his brows was no longer there.

When leaving Sanborn's fishing tackle shop, Li Qiuzhi glanced at the clock in the shop, it was a quarter past nine in the morning.

He didn't go directly to No. 86 Dandelion Street. After all, at this time, Lukar probably needs to go to work. After all, he is the sales director of the Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory.

Alas. Another 20-plus minutes of walking time followed.

If you want to say that the only means of transportation in Mond City is the horse-drawn carriage, the other is the Wing of the Wind, but you need a flight certificate to use the Wing of the Wind in public areas.

Obtaining a flight certificate is not easy, and generally only adventurers have a strong demand.

Li Qiuzhi felt that he needed to get his flight certificate as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too troublesome to travel. Although Wing of Wind can only glide, he had to go to a relatively tall building before flying.

But there's no denying its usefulness, either.

Only a few days after becoming an adventurer, Li Qiuzhi felt the pain of not being able to use the teleportation anchor.
