I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 257 Advanced Map Scout

And this kind of operation?

Perhaps sensing Yun Qingyi's thoughts, the cultivator selling maps smiled, his already small eyes narrowing into slits: "Haha, fairy, we're just trying to earn more food."

After all, as you know, those who can enter this secret realm are all carefully selected geniuses from various sects.

For those of us whose strength is neither high nor low, who have the opportunity to enter the secret realm but can't seize any opportunities, we can also honestly set up a stall and sell things.

But even when selling things, you have to put in a lot of effort to get people to buy them, don't you think?

Yun Qingyi: "...That's true, but what I don't understand is, since your people are capable of scouting various places in the secret realm, their strength must be quite formidable."

After all, this is an ancient secret realm, and it's no exaggeration to say it's fraught with danger..."

Upon hearing this, the map seller laughed heartily: "What the fairy says is true, but our people only collect information on the main roads. Those slightly dangerous or even extremely dangerous areas are areas we hire people to do."

Hearing this, Yun Qingyi asked curiously, "Hmm? Hire someone to do it?"

The cultivator selling maps said, "Yes, for places that are too dangerous, we will hire some powerful fellow cultivators who are short of spirit stones to scout them out."

Yun Qingyi: "How many spirit stones are usually needed?"

The cultivator selling maps, upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, keenly sensed something and said with a smile, "Does the fairy also want to join? Our rewards are very generous."

A typical map entry usually costs 300 high-grade spirit stones.

"What? Three hundred?" High-grade spirit stones? That's incredibly extravagant! If I'm not mistaken, the ordinary information she mentioned should refer to less dangerous areas, like the forest road she's currently on.

The cultivator selling maps still smiled, seemingly unfazed by Yun Qingyi's surprise: "That's right, this fairy does indeed cost three hundred high-grade spirit stones."

“However…” he changed the subject, “we have already hired enough people to collect general map information, and we have no plans to hire more.”

"Oh...I see." Yun Qingyi was a little disappointed. She had originally wanted to earn some extra money, since she would soon have another money-devouring beast to raise, and she wanted to earn as much as possible.

Seeing Yun Qingyi's slightly regretful expression, the cultivator selling maps chuckled and changed the subject: "However, if you are very confident in your abilities, you can also apply to be our senior map surveyor."

The term sounded a bit unfamiliar, so Yun Qingyi repeated it: "Senior map surveyor?"

“That’s right!” the cultivator selling maps laughed. “As the name suggests, it involves going to various places in the secret realm to collect relevant regional information. One piece of information costs 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.”

what?

Seeing Yun Qingyi somewhat stunned, the cultivator selling the map smiled again: "But fairy, don't get too excited. Although the reward for being a high-level map scout is high, you should be prepared to receive it but not live to spend it."

The fairy also knew that this ancient secret realm was fraught with danger. Although they were all the pride of their sects, there were quite a few geniuses who had perished in such a secret realm.

"If you, fairy, are considering applying, you should think carefully."

Yun Qingyi: "Are there any tasks I have to complete after applying for the job?"

The cultivator who bought the map chuckled憨厚ly: "That's not necessary. Even if the fairy doesn't send any new map information, it doesn't matter. It's just that there will be no reward."

After hearing these words, Yun Qingyi lowered her head and thought about it for a moment. If that was the case, it didn't seem so bad.

There are many stalls along this forest avenue, and many cultivators come and go, seemingly treating it as a base.

This secret realm will not reopen for another two years, so the formation of these various outposts is inevitable.

Many people came to buy maps, and while Yun Qingyi was pondering, the cultivator selling maps was busy attending to other people.

The map seller exclaimed, "Hey everyone! Take a good look! Small maps are 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, and large maps are 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. You'll be lucky to buy one, but you won't be cheated!"

What? One hundred thousand? Yun Qingyi, who was deep in thought, was somewhat taken aback and looked at the cultivators who were taking out spirit stones in disbelief.

How can anyone want something this rip-off?
