Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Where are you going to sell it, little brother? I know that there are several places in the city that buy animal skins that are very dirty and the prices are very low. Why don't I tell you secretly? To avoid stepping into the trap!

The middle-aged man had a kind-hearted face this time.

Qin Niu still said nothing, lowered his head and hurried on.

The goal is clear, shoes and clothing market.

During his first three visits to the city, he had specifically observed that the shoe and clothing shops in Black Tiger City sold all kinds of clothes, shoes, armor, armor, hats, cushions, and leather mattresses.

There are many shops selling high-end clothing and leather mattresses in Fang City, and they all have notices in conspicuous places about purchasing all kinds of animal skins at high prices.

Qin Niu ignored the word high price, it was all a trick.

His idea is very simple, just find a fair shop and sell it at a fair price.

As long as you don't get cheated, it doesn't matter if you sell a few hundred coins less.

Little brother, for the sake of our fate, I will tell you that the purchase prices of these two companies are particularly reasonable. Their purchase prices are at least one tael higher than others.

The middle-aged man was obviously not prepared to let go of his prey so easily, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to his superiors.

Qin Niu made a move at this time.

His right hand 'quietly' reached into his waist, pulled out a dagger, held it upside down, and tucked it into his sleeve.

This move seemed 'secret', but in fact it was clearly seen by the middle-aged man. His pupils narrowed and he subconsciously distanced himself from Qin Niu.

Most country people do manual labor and are barbarians.

They love to admit death deep down.

This boy may seem young, but it is certainly not easy to hunt a black bear.

Middle-aged men usually engage in deception and abduction, and their abilities are no different from those of ordinary people. Seeing this young man pull out the dagger and hide it in his sleeve without saying a word, he was instantly frightened.

This boy obviously has trouble communicating.

This kind of person often acts in extreme ways. If he were stabbed suddenly, wouldn't it be an unjust death?

Little brother, little brother...

The middle-aged man called him from a distance.

Qin Niu continued walking forward without looking back, but the right hand holding the dagger was obviously exerting force, and the triceps of his right arm bulged. His left hand tightened the basket on his back.

The middle-aged man who was pestering him shrank his eyes and did not dare to follow him.

With a murderous weapon in hand, murderous intentions are everywhere.

Faced with such a lunatic who could kill someone if he disagreed, he couldn't help but not be afraid.

Anyway, there are prey every day, and this one is no exception. Worried that his life was in danger, the middle-aged man gave up decisively.

Qin Niu noticed that the middle-aged man did not follow him anymore, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, and he silently put the dagger back into the sheath on his waist.

He is actually just showing off.

After getting rid of this person, no one bothered him again.

I quickened my pace and arrived at the shoe and clothing market, where I could see city dwellers ordering clothes in twos and threes.

Most ordinary people in this world only buy one or two sets of clothes a year, which is considered a big deal. Especially buying winter clothes is often combined with the Chinese New Year.

Only when the New Year is approaching will we buy new clothes to celebrate the New Year.

It is common for people from poor families to buy a new set of clothes only after several years.

The price of a set of clothes is often not cheap, even if it is made of coarse cloth or linen, the most ordinary piece of clothes will cost at least 400 yuan.

These days, clothes are all made by hand, and there is no possibility of mass production by machine.

So the labor price is not cheap either.

The price of some high-end tailors even requires three to seven taels of silver per piece for craftsmanship.

Of course, this is a sky-high labor cost.

It’s equivalent to an ‘expert’ level tailor.

There is a saying that a good saddle goes with a good horse, and the same goes for custom-made clothes. Good fabrics can never be spoiled by ordinary tailors.

Gorgeous clothes, the tailors who make them are often very skilled and have a certain reputation in the industry.

It is said that for the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, the materials and labor costs alone for a coat cost thousands of taels of silver.

This is a huge amount of wealth that many people will never be able to earn in their lifetime.

The total income of a long-term worker in a landlord's family is less than 4 taels a year, the official salary is about 3 taels, and the various benefits add up to 6 taels of silver. The actual income per year is three to six taels of silver.

Child labor before the age of 16 is only half price.

Some landowners even deliberately exploit them. Many people are clearly over the age of 16, but they still only calculate the wages of child laborers on the excuse of poor planting skills and small stature.

Many people have to wait until they are 18 or 19 years old before they can earn an adult salary.

The lifespan of an ordinary person is sixty years, which is considered a long life.

For example, Qin Niu only has a life span of 51 years.

Calculating this way, an ordinary citizen can only earn an adult salary for 33 years. In fact, after the age of 45, as physical fitness declines and the probability of illness increases, the risk of being laid off will increase significantly.

Most people actually only work for about 27 years in their lifetime.

Calculated based on 3.6 taels per year, the total income in a lifetime is only about 97.2 taels.

In this world, if you can't practice and become stronger, if you don't have any skills, you are really just like a mayfly, living and dying, which is meaningless.

It takes almost ten ordinary people's lifetime income to make a piece of clothing for the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

This is the temptation that everyone wants to be strong.

Becoming a strong person can not only greatly increase your life span, but also control the life and death of others and possess the best resources.

For ordinary people to marry a slightly beautiful wife, that is the result of the manifestation of their ancestors.

The leader of the Black Tiger Gang could change ten beautiful eighteen-year-old girls in one night without any problem.

Ordinary people cannot eat meat three times a year, but Black Tiger Gang Leader eats delicacies from the mountains and seas and various elixirs.

Qin Niu did not pursue gorgeous clothes or magnificent houses. He only had three words in his heart, and that was to seek immortality.

He believed that the longer he lived, the stronger his cultivation would be.

By then, he will naturally become a top powerhouse.

If your lifespan is over, no matter how glorious and powerful you are now, you will still have to die in the end.

After he visited three purchase points in succession to inquire about the price, he already had a firm idea in his mind.

He used the idea of ​​shopping around in reverse.

After asking two more families, he finally chose to sell the bearskin to the one with the highest bid.

I thought I could only sell it for ten taels of silver at most, but I didn't expect that it sold for a high price of twenty-five taels of silver.

The boss identified it as an adult male bear that had lived for at least fifteen years.

And told Qin Niu that there would definitely be at least one female bear nearby.

I have to admire their professionalism.

There are specialties in the art industry, which is really not a joke.

The age and gender of a bear can be identified just from its skin.

The boss also told him that if he hunted a black bear next time, he could bring the bear bile and sell it to him for five hundred coins.

Qin Niu had long heard that eating bear bile was good for the body, so he swallowed it alive.

I didn't feel any obvious changes in my body.

If I had known bear bile was so valuable, I should have kept it and sold it for money.

After receiving twenty-five taels of silver, he was overjoyed. Not only was he able to practice his skills this time, but he could also purchase weapons.

He was thinking of buying two or three more low-level contract talismans to keep with him as backup, so that he could conquer the bugs he liked in time when he encountered them.

Passing an armor shop, he stopped and stood in the doorway to watch.

The clerk in the store just glanced at him lightly, and then went to clean the dust on his armor, ignoring him.

These guys usually greet and receive all kinds of guests, so they naturally know what kind of guests can afford their armor.

Is it possible for a country man who doesn't even have enough to eat and whose clothes are heavily patched to afford expensive armor?

This guy really made a mistake.

Qin Niu now carries twenty-five taels of silver on him, which is more than enough to buy a set of ordinary leather armor.

Qin Niu didn't care about the cold attitude of the store clerk.

Walking directly into the store, his eyes locked on a set of black armor.

Looking at this style, it is almost exactly the same as what the soldiers at the city gate wear.
