Chapter Fifty-Three: The Feast
The light is a little dim, but behind it is a giant light source, what may be dark in this vicinity, but on the contrary, in the secret area of the capital, I always feel that there are some things in front of me that are unclear, as if covered with a layer of fog, just like a person in a dream to try his best to see the same object, but how can not see clearly.
Overhead, there was a thick cloud, which shrouded the sky over the city all year round, blocking all the light from the outside world, because this is a paradise for ghosts, and the sun is not allowed to step into this place for half a step.
From time to time, flocks of blackbirds fly by in the air, and the sound of "quack" is like a funeral, which is annoying.
The buildings in the distance are all in the style of ancient China, and I don't know which dynasty Lin Shuai is, he doesn't know much about architecture.
The color of the buildings is not all black and gray as expected, in fact, there are all colors, but under the perennial cloud, no matter what color is gilded with a layer of gray, the whole city looks lifeless.
It is only in the secret area in front of you, with the influx of players in large numbers, that the popularity is slowly activated, so that this piece of dead land can also exude surging vitality again.
……
didn't see the fluttering in the city, Lin Shuai felt a lot more settled, and he was still holding a soft little hand in his hand, Lin Shuai would not let go until Zero didn't resist.
Belch...... Well, as soon as he had this thought, Zero gently broke free from Lin Shuai's "caressing".
Even if it is held, I have to keep sliding my fingers around in the palm of my hand, and my heart is itchy, uncomfortable to death, and I thought with a slight red cheek.
"There are 20 minutes left, do you want to take a stroll first?" Zhan Wuya said as he looked at the trade area in the distance.
"Well, go and take a look, maybe it can help you brush the secret realm." Lin Shuai moved.
Although it is said to be a ghost town, the most entrenched profession here is the Taoist priest, the origin of the ghost town is because most of the types of monsters are demons, and the geographical location makes it look eerie and terrifying, and the rulers here are mostly Taoist priests.
As a Taoist priest, the best means is naturally to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, and make some things to restrain ghosts, of course, Lin Shuai also wants to see if he can buy this kind of thing.
In Zhongzhou, the dress of the monk and the Taoist priest is completely different from the existence of two painting styles of ordinary players, compared to the gorgeous Western-style mage robe knight armor first-class, the Taoist robe looks very simple, mostly green and yellow, with a black Taoist scarf on the head, the weapon is dust, and there are also those who wear peachwood swords.
Hey, Lin Shuai was happy when he saw it, isn't this a group of future Liu Lao Liu!
Anyway, I thought of Liu Lao Liu, that old liar seems to have never seen it in the novice village since he finished calculating the hexagram for himself? And when the hidden mission was over, he didn't show up, is it really just an ordinary NPC who cheats money?
……
Thinking wildly, a few people approached the row of players who set up stalls, selling all kinds of things, ranging from ordinary potions to special products from ghost towns, as well as talismans and puppets made by Taoist priests.
Talismans and puppets are unique skills of Taoist priests, and represent two branches of Taoist priests.
The tenth level of the Taoist priest can learn the skills of the rune, and can use the rune paper to carve out the rune with magical power, such as the tenth-level thunder guide talisman, after the successful carving, the mana can be fired to summon thunder and lightning to cause thunder attribute damage to the monster, and the higher level I heard that it can also summon the heavenly thunder, which is the power of the god of the system.
The talisman can be stored for a long time, and this thing can be used in any profession, and it can be released by consuming mana in your hand, so it can be sold.
Classes such as Mage Priest can make scrolls in the later stages, and the principle of the two things is the same, but the energy used is different.
The same is true for puppets, at the beginning, Taoist priests can use rune paper to make puppet paper figures to help players fight monsters, and when they are advanced, it is said that they can scatter a piece of rune beans at will, and they can turn into a group of gold-armored wrestlers, and the strength of one person is enough to resist an army.
These two things are undoubtedly very useful for farming secret realms, but it's a pity that the player's level is too low now, the skill level is also low, and the power of the things made is too weak, and the price is still expensive.
After turning around, a few people didn't find anything good, but just bought some blind grass that was used in the ghost town area.
From the beginning of stepping into the city, I always felt that something was pasted in front of me, which was not a good feeling, but a unique yin spirit phenomenon in the city.
The spirit is a kind of object that is one level lower than the soul and the ghost, and it is a thing formed after the dissipation of the ghost of the soul between heaven and earth, there is no spiritual intelligence, but he likes the smell of the living person, and he will unconsciously lean on the person.
Ordinary people can't see the spirit, and the spirit will not have any harm in addition to the impact on people's senses, and the blinding grass can relieve the influence of the spirit, which is a unique item in the capital, and it is also a necessary item for everyone.
The grass is not meant to be consumed, it can be carried on the body to exert its effect, a leaf lasts for two hours, and it is sold for only one silver coin.
Just knowing the existence of this thing has really made Lin Shuai have goosebumps, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, but as long as he thinks that there are several fluttering ones sticking to his body all the time, who wouldn't be afraid!
After wearing the blinding grass, I suddenly felt as if something invisible was floating away from my body, and my eyes were clear and my spirit was greatly lifted.
"It's almost time, let's go in and get ready." Zhan Wuya turned his head and said to Lin Shuai.
There are still 8 minutes to 10 o'clock, and now the players should be in the space-time courtyard, and if you go in one second early, you will have a little more advantage, and maybe you will be one second short of getting the first pass.
"Well, I'm going to see that guy, it's a little weird, you guys go in first." Lin Shuai pointed to a player setting up a stall not far away.
Fear of heights is one of the reasons, he found that the player who set up the stall was a little different, the others walked up to him, took a look at the things he was selling, and turned around and left without even thinking about asking the price, and he didn't know what he was selling, so unpopular.
"That's okay, Brother Yuluo, pay attention to the time." Zhan Wuya hesitated for a moment, Lin Shuai's distraction from the previous trial boss was still vivid, he couldn't help but be not vigilant, and made up his mind that Lin Shuai hadn't come in the last two minutes, so he came out to urge him.
"Don't worry." Lin Shuai assured.
A few people entered the space-time courtyard, Fa Wutian was a little excited, he was very curious about the existence of that air wall, in the past online games, many games could rely on the air wall to card some useful bugs, he was very sensitive to this kind of thing as an analyst.
Zero is still by Lin Shuai's side, and letting her stay alone with a group of unfamiliar people will only make her feel tormented.
Coming to the stall, the player who set up the stall also gave people a weird feeling, wearing a wide black robe with a hood, wrapping the whole person inside, exuding a breath of unapproachable people all over his body, no wonder no one bargained with him, and he didn't look like a normal person.
There was a spread cloth in front of him, and there were a few things on it with prices marked, and Lin Shuai immediately had an urge to turn around and leave after just looking at it.
No wonder no one buys his stuff, a bottle of light potion that sells for 3 silver coins in the store, and he sells it for 10 silver coins!
An ordinary level 10 piece of fine equipment, although it is still very rare, but you will not put a high price of 1 gold coin, right?
And what the hell is that tattered wooden stick? Out of which corner? You're also marked with 10 gold!
This is a typical profiteer, how can there be such a business, a fool will buy your things!
"These things, can they be cheaper?" However, Lin Shuai was in his heart, and Zero on the side suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong, what's working for you?" It was an instant reaction that there was zero need in this inconspicuous pile of things.
"Hidden mission, that stick." Zero's tone fluctuated a little, and he replied in his friend's secret message.
Lin Shuai suddenly came to his senses, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the wooden stick that he thought was a broken item.
"......" The black-robed player didn't answer immediately, his head moved, and he felt a gaze shoot out of his hood, looking at the two of them.
"To... What to buy. A timid and immature voice came out of the black robe, Lin Shuai was stunned, it was actually a girl? Why did the girl make herself look like this, what dare not see people.
Zero was obviously stunned, and then an inexplicable strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Why are your children's things so much more expensive than other people's, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell them?"
This is the first time Lin Shuai has heard Zero say so many words at once, and he looked at Zero in disbelief, and suddenly found that the current Zero seems to be different from before, and it has changed a little... Treacherous! That's right, that's right! Syllable! gave himself a mouth, how can the little fairy's thing be called treacherous? That's the light of wisdom!
"Because... These... These are all things that I got with great difficulty, and I wasted a lot of materials to make that bottle of potion......" The girl's voice was a little aggrieved, in order to make those bottles of potion, the materials consumed made her spend all the money on her body, otherwise she wouldn't have taken off her equipment and sold it.
"You're saying you made it? Light potions can only be made by at least an intermediate alchemist, do you mean that you have already trained the deputy position of an alchemist to the intermediate level? ”
Lin Shuai said with suspicion, the sub-profession is not as easy to practice as the gathering technique, take his caster as an example, every time he successfully forges a tabula rasa equipment, he will add 2 points of proficiency, and there is no failure at all!
And every time he makes equipment, it takes at least five minutes, and now it takes less than 12 hours to open the main city.
Not to mention the 70% failure rate, even if the production has been successful against the sky, it is impossible to make up 900 proficiency points.
Besides, if you can gather so many materials for you to practice, why do you have to have a team of dozens of people behind you to collect herbs for you, right?
When there are so many people for the show, do you still need to come out to set up a stall in person, so Lin Shuai has reason to suspect that this girl who is acting strangely is deliberately pretending to be pitiful and deceiving people!
