Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Besides the fact that the products they bought didn't sell well, the cost of the weapons and equipment was also higher.

In tailor shops and blacksmith shops, you need blueprints to make equipment and weapons.

If you have all the materials for a whiteboard blueprint, you can only make whiteboard equipment; if you have all the materials for a green blueprint, you can only make green equipment, and so on.

In addition, the quality of equipment and weapons is also limited by the level of the tailor shop and blacksmith shop.

Level 1 tailors and blacksmiths can only craft equipment of level 5 or lower; level 2 tailors and blacksmiths can only craft equipment of level 10 or lower; and so on.

Therefore, if the territory level is not high, the tailor shop and blacksmith shop levels will also be low.

Most of the territories outside are only at level two, since it's not easy to gather a thousand official residents.

Level 2 tailor shops and blacksmith shops can only produce equipment and weapons of level 10 or below.

Even if you manage to get purple-grade equipment and weapons below level 10, their stats are about the same as level 15 blue equipment and weapons from level 3 tailors and blacksmiths, unless you collect a complete set and activate the set bonuses.

Purple-grade weapons and equipment require materials, making them much rarer than blue-grade weapons and equipment. Therefore, level 10 purple weapons and equipment are still very expensive in most territories, because if they weren't sold at a high price, it wouldn't be fair to those materials.

With this money, you can buy level 15 blue equipment and weapons. If you calculate based on the material prices in other territories, you can buy two sets in the future. After all, the materials needed for blue weapons and equipment are not rare and the cost is very low.

Based on material prices in other territories, this amount of money could buy two sets of equipment with similar stats to level 10 purple weapons and armor. In the Yong'an territory, you could buy even more, since materials are cheaper there.

Since the equipment and weapons in Yong'an territory are not expensive, why not make a profit by reselling water?
The reason is extremely simple: Linlang imposed even stronger restrictions.

Water and food are readily available in the territory every day, with supply exceeding demand. If people from other territories come to buy them, let them buy them; it doesn't matter.

But weapons and equipment are different.

Good weapons and equipment are in high demand everywhere. Not every resident of Yong'an Territory has a level 15 blue weapon or equipment. Linlang naturally wouldn't allow these weapons and equipment to flow to other territories and strengthen their power. Therefore, it is stipulated that each official resident can only purchase one set of level 15 weapons and equipment, and temporary residents are not eligible to purchase them. Of course, outdated weapons and equipment below level 15 can be sold at will.

Since there's a limit of one set per buyer, most people are reluctant to resell to merchants. After all, if they encounter danger and don't have suitable equipment, wouldn't that be troublesome? This means that merchants from other regions can acquire very little equipment and weapons. Moreover, the prices Linlang sets for weapons and equipment aren't particularly low; they're only slightly cheaper than market prices. There's no need to worry that official weapon and equipment prices being slightly lower than market prices will steal from the private market, because Linlang's tailor shops and blacksmith shops don't have unlimited materials, and their daily production is limited, so they won't dominate the entire private market.

However, the market price in Yong'an territory is much cheaper than in other places. In other places, weapons and equipment are scarce items and cannot be cheap.

However, because Yong'an territory has a large population, there are naturally more weapons and equipment, which makes them cheaper.

However, cheap equipment and weapons on the private market in Yong'an Territory are also sold to official residents of Yong'an Territory at the same price point—this is a setting Linlang made to protect everyone's interests—people from other territories can only successfully complete a transaction if they offer a price 50% higher than that of Yong'an Territory.

The people of Yong'an Territory have also traveled to other territories and know the prices of equipment and weapons in other territories, so they do not object to the territory's regulations. In any case, even if the price is 50% higher, people from other places will still buy them.

Of course, the weapons and equipment that out-of-town merchants asked Yong'an residents to purchase from tailor shops and blacksmith shops would naturally be sold to them at a 50% premium, since this was also a private transaction.

With a 50% premium and a 3% tax, out-of-town merchants have to pay 53% more to buy equipment and weapons. Sometimes, if they know the other side doesn't have level 15 weapons and equipment, they might ask for even more. Anyway, there are too many out-of-town merchants, so it's a pure seller's market. If these people don't want it, there are plenty of others who will.

There's no need to worry about selling at a 50% premium. Everyone sells their weapons and equipment to out-of-town merchants, so local residents can't buy them. It's simple: if local residents dare to go out and fight monsters, they can definitely get their own equipment and weapons and won't need to buy them. If they don't want to go out and fight monsters, and the equipment and weapons that others fight are only intended to be sold to out-of-town merchants and not to local residents at a discount, local residents can buy them from the tailor shop and the blacksmith shop. Anyway, the tailor shop and the blacksmith shop only sell level 15 equipment and weapons to local residents, not to out-of-town merchants or temporary residents.

They are not afraid that out-of-town merchants will pay to become local residents. That would increase the number of residents in Linlang, which would be good. Moreover, each resident can only buy one set of equipment and weapons. Even if they leave the territory and become local residents again, it will be recorded and they will not be able to buy another set of equipment and weapons.

However, once a merchant from another region actually buys residency in Yong'an Territory, they usually won't back out. After comparing the benefits of other territories, Yong'an Territory is better, so they will naturally become residents of Yong'an Territory. In this way, they will no longer be called merchants from other regions, but local merchants.

Regardless of whether they are local merchants or not, the price of equipment and weapons in Yong'an territory is cheaper than in their own territory, but not by much. In addition, the purchasing power in their territory is too low to sell the equipment and weapons they buy at a high price, so there are few people who resell weapons and equipment. They only do this if other things have already been taken care of and they have no other choice.

This is the current situation in the territory. After people settled down, they wanted to communicate with each other, so merchants started to operate in various places and made a fortune.

However, they deserve the money. Traveling between the two territories is something only experts dare to do. Because of the long journey, if they encounter a powerful monster, they have no territory to hide in and may suffer casualties. Unlike those who stay at home and take on territory missions, they have no risk at all.

That day, Linlang was planning to check on the territory merchants to see if anything needed patching. After all, she didn't want the merchants to take everything from the territory, leaving local residents unable to buy what they wanted or at exorbitant prices—that wouldn't do. Just then, she noticed that her original mother and her family had also entered the territory. (End of Chapter)
