Text Chapter 709: The Old Painter [New Year's Second Update]
In fact, there is a bit of a pit in the setting of this mission world, and it costs 10 stone coins each time to buy the intelligence of the mirror clone from the aborigines, and the intelligence is random.
In other words, if Zhu Ziao goes to buy information, then it is entirely possible that there will be information about Zhang San or Li Si's doppelganger, and there may even be information about Xing Lie's mirror doppelganger.
But the odds involved are not 1 in 30, but 1 in 10.
To put it simply, there is a 1 in 10 chance that a student will get the position of his mirror avatar if he buys information, but if he is unlucky enough to draw the information of other students, there are only two options left, or he doesn't want to see other students rise before him, and he thinks he is unlucky, and rots the information that has nothing to do with him in his stomach, or sells that information to the students who need it.
But it is estimated that there will not be many students who can do this kind of thing, the area of Bald Rock Island is not very large, and there are elements of fighting each other in the rules of this mission world, it is no exaggeration to say that whoever can hunt their own mirror clone one earlier and obtain the right to use the original equipment and storage space will be able to dominate this Bald Rock Island, even if the first to recover their peak combat power is the second-rate students who are usually unknown, they can completely crush the first-line students who have lost their equipment.
I believe that not only Xing Lie and Zhu Ziao, but all the students on Bald Stone Island should be trying their best to earn stone coins at this time, and strive to find the accurate location of their mirror clones as soon as possible.
Xing Lie and Zhu Ziao took all 35 stone coins to find a rickety old man in the center of the aboriginal area, the other party was thin, with white eyebrows and white beard, standing under a bald tree, as if a random gust of wind could blow him down, the shabby flannel clothes looked very special among the residents wearing animal skins and linen all over the street, a natural thick branch was held in his hand as a crutch, compared to the ordinary old man in the old age of wind and candles, this person was more like a wise man in his twilight years.
In front of the old man was a stall with stone slabs, and in the stone buckets there were many blank picture scrolls, and there were a few brushes on the stone table, which seemed to make a living by writing or painting here.
"That's him. β
Zhu Ziao pointed at the old man, it seemed that the other party was the intelligence trafficker designated by the university.
The two didn't step forward immediately, Zhu Ziao took out 30 stone coins, and said: "Old criminal, the university is very anti-lock on the detailed setting of purchasing information, if I buy information, the chance of drawing my mirror clone intelligence is 1 in 10, and the chance of drawing your doppelgΓ€nger information is 1 in 30, so you come first." β
Xing Lie pushed away the fat hand that stretched out, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think we can beat the mirror image clone that inherited all my equipment now?"
Zhu Ziao was speechless, yes, in the panic college, Zhu Ziao is one of the few people who know about Xing Lie, although he doesn't know the specific attributes of Xing Lie's full body equipment, but he also knows that it is definitely not something that the two of them can deal with together, and it turns out that sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for a person to be too strong.
"Damn, I thought that this mission world would be able to make a lot of money by teaming up with you, but it turned out that you guys were clearly going to push the fat man into the fire pit. β
Zhu Ziao punched Xing Lie, he hadn't considered this fatal problem before, but now that he thinks about it, it really makes people's backs chill.
was punched by Zhu Ziao and didn't care, and said somewhat weakly: "What's the hurry, it's not that there is no chance at all, let's first work together to challenge your mirror clone, and when the time comes, you will be at your peak, plus make some other puppets, maybe there is a little possibility of turning the tables." β
"I'll flip your sister!"
Zhu Ziao wanted to cry without tears, but he couldn't help it, he was all on the struggling with this bad friend, and he couldn't pick his son and leave.
But then again, Xing Lie's proposal seemed to be the only way, Zhu Ziao had no choice, left ten stone coins in his hand, and reluctantly handed them to the rickety old man, and said in a bad manner: "Old man, ask you something, and I will reward you with these answers." β
Lao Suo's drooping eyelids twitched, glanced at it, and then snatched away the stone coins in Zhu Ziao's hand very quickly, and after counting the number, a smile appeared on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were almost squeezed together.
"Yo, young man, even if you ask the right person, there are no people and things on Bald Rock Island that the little old man doesn't know, you can ask whatever you want. β
Seeing that the stone coins that he had earned so hard to earn were coveted by the hateful old guy like this, Zhu Zi was dripping blood in his heart, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Then have you ever seen someone who looks very similar to me? If so, tell me the exact location of that person." β
"Oh, you ask those outsiders, the old man's eyes are not good, look at everyone looks the same, I'm afraid your question can't be helped, but the old man doesn't have the habit of paying back the money, so it's better to give you a painting." β
The thickness of the old man's face really matched the wrinkles on his face, and his shameless expression and shameless words made Zhu Ziao furious on the spot.
"Give your uncle's painting, the stone coins that Lao Tzu got from birth and death, just to exchange you for a broken painting?"
Zhu Ziao rolled up his arms and sleeves, and he had the posture of the other party talking back and doing it.
Xing Lie shook his head helplessly, stepped forward to stop Zhu Ziao, and said, "Okay, just give us a painting." β
The old man smiled, took out a roll of blank drawing paper, dipped the brush in ink, grabbed his sleeve and draw.
All of a sudden, Xing Lie and Zhu Ziao understood the detailed process of purchasing information, the old man's technique was very fast, and the painting was completed in less than a minute, he first drew the overall topographic map of Bald Rock Island, occupying half of the paper, and the other half was a portrait, and finally dotted a red dot on the map with a brush dipped in cinnabar, which was done.
It turns out that the way to sell information is to paint, very vivid, on the left is a topographic map of Bald Rock Island, and the red dot on it is obviously the location of the mirror doppelganger, and as for the portrait on the right, it is the portrait of the student.
As expected, the person on the portrait did not know him, and it should be one of the thirty students.
"Old liar, you are really dizzy, look at what you are drawing? Is the person in the painting like me or like him? Hurry up and don't ink, and draw another picture for Lao Tzu!"
Zhu Zi raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and if he were an ordinary person, he would really be frightened, but the old man on the opposite side didn't jump his eyelids, rubbed his thumb and index finger and said: "It's okay to draw, ten stone coins, not one less." β
"You ......"
Zhu Ziao's anger came up again, Xing Lie hurriedly stopped, and under the signal of his eyes, Zhu Ziao could only reluctantly take out ten stone coins again and throw them on the stone slab.
