Chapter 1271 - 1269: Communication Among Fellow Disciples

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1269: Communication Among Fellow Disciples

After handing over the Orange Armor and distributing various tasks, Gong Lingyu’s focus wasn’t fully on Gu Xi.

She was usually busy, and it was a good opportunity to check the progress of her disciples.

When those senior disciples were called one by one for questioning.

The remaining few senior disciples came to Gu Xi’s side and chatted with him in small groups about Death City’s specialties.

It was clear that they usually engaged in internal communication.

Gu Xi didn’t have many specialties to showcase right now, Grass Returning Pill was one, and Iron Finger was another, along with some dry vines.

Oh, recently on Poisonous Peach Mountain, a specialty called Poisonous Peach emerged.

It’s something that can be eaten by the Undead.

After eating, the Undead can carry a poison effect and eating too much can cause plague, which is particularly hard to cure.

But Gu Xi never expected that items like Grass Returning Pill were not popular in the real world, whereas Poisonous Peach greatly satisfied the senior disciples, and everyone ordered a batch.

When Gu Xi asked about this, several senior disciples laughed heartily.

"Can’t understand, right? Actually, it’s not that the senior brothers don’t trust you, but for us, we have Death City, and in terms of self-improvement, shouldn’t we follow our own constitution?

We still believe in our homegrown products for many things.

Just like Su Zhux, what he usually drinks is Fruit Crystal Tea produced from Slimes absorbing corpses.

Do you understand the reasoning within this?"

"Is it to avoid being stuck on a supply?"

Gu Xi thought for a moment and asked.

"Exactly, your Poisonous Peach or whatever, even if there’s no supply, it doesn’t affect us.

But if I get used to eating a certain fruit of yours, and you cut off the supply, won’t I feel uncomfortable?

Let’s not talk about senior brothers not blocking supply or anything.

These things depend on production. If the production doesn’t keep up, it’s equivalent to a blocked supply.

So some things we value more, some we might eat a few, but will never engage in large-scale trading."

"Right, that’s the principle. If you want to eat something good, just tell the brothers, it’s just some fruit delivered to the door, nothing they can’t give.

But for large-scale trading, let’s just forget about it."

"Indeed."

Several senior disciples nodded, agreeing with Gu Xi’s speculation.

At the same time, they also reminded Gu Xi what the Death City trades between them.

For someone new like Gu Xi, raw materials are the primary focus of trade.

After all, these senior brothers’ Death City has been established for over ten years.

Within that decade, most things have become self-sufficient.

Especially regarding Blacksmith Shop changes, they’ve swapped seven or eight rounds at least.

The items Gu Xi holds are likely what they have phased out.

The weapons and equipment Gu Xi made are surely not to their liking, but trading in Undead Species could be possible, although it involves many complications.

Therefore, they prefer to trade raw materials among themselves.

Especially genuine materials, materials with Evil Qi, all kinds of rare materials, etc.

"This is our internal trade list. The prices on it change monthly. If you find any resources and materials listed, you can trade at the market there.

By the way, do you have a trading market in your city?"

"Yes, I have a dedicated Market District."

Gu Xi said confidently.

Upon hearing this, the senior brothers viewed Gu Xi differently.

"Looks like your city is quite large, even having a designated area for trading.

Alright, here’s my market coordinate, you can send a caravan directly then."

"Right, give me your market coordinate too, and we’ll do direct market trading."

Gu Xi nodded, accepting the market coordinates from his senior brothers while handing over his own market coordinate.

He even asked what he should be aware of regarding caravan trading.

These senior brothers also saw that Gu Xi’s previous growth was rather solitary.

He hadn’t experienced much community interaction, team battles.

When communicating with others, he was somewhat awkward.

But as an Undead Mage, this was understandable.

After all, having a city of Undead to play with, who would want to guess with other players?

Sometimes, the various equipment ordinary players fight over are used by their Undead subordinates.

They go on raids together, yet they find them undesirable, nor do they want to be taken advantage of.

So in the end, many Undead Mages prefer to play solo.

Unless there is a guild or an organized group, they would act together.

Disciples like Gong Lingyu were early recipients of Death City.

Each of them came through this way.

They completely understood Gu Xi’s current mindset.

After exchanging market coordinates, they began to invite Gu Xi.

"Hey, junior brother, what do you plan to do recently?"

"I have a raid that isn’t finished yet, just taking this time to handle it.

Afterward, I’ll probably focus on studying at school; there are so many books I haven’t even begun to read."

Gu Xi thought and quickly replied.

"A raid? Seems like the place you were at wasn’t the mainstream Undead Mage territory?"

"Indeed."

Gu Xi reflected on his situation. Bailian City followed the Undead path, but outside Bailian City, who knew what an Undead Mage was.

Especially after reaching Pei Xin City and Ancestor City, Gu Xi realized that Undead Mage was just a niche profession.

Among the countless players flocking to Ancestor City, Undead Mages accounted for less than one-thousandth.

"The moment you mentioned a raid, I knew it.

Our Undead Mage dungeons are distinct from other players’ dungeons.

This is actually considered implicit rules.

Think about it, when you mentioned that Octopus Head, they control the powers of the spirit. If they engage in narrative-based or puzzle-solving dungeons, what would happen?"

"Wouldn’t they clear it directly?"

"Exactly, now think, if five or six Undead Mages entered the dungeon with thousands of troops, would the dungeon even need battling?"

Gu Xi recalled his behavior during the late phase of the Westminster Cathedral incident.

As he could lead a troop of tens of thousands, he genuinely hadn’t considered how to evaluate the strength of dungeon bosses; everything was just steamrolled.

Until after the opening of the group raid post-Westminster Cathedral incident, the dungeon progress began to slow.

"So in places where Undead-oriented players gather, the dungeon classification differs from those outside."
