Volume 3 Scarlet Dawn Chapter 44 The Eve of the Trial
If you want to do something, you must first have a sharp weapon. After leaving the Enhancement Center, Zhou Qi walked directly into the space store located next to the auction hall.
Compared with the small storefront like a streetside convenience store, the new space store not only expanded a lot in scale after the end of the battlefield mission, but also added a variety of new props, which made him feel a little dazzled.
The new way of selling like a supermarket also provides great convenience for the contractor.
The contractor only needs to get in touch through the Blood Emblem and the shop system. You can easily sell items that are useless to yourself. Of course, the price is much lower than trading in the market.
Zhou Qi first cleaned up some ordinary items dropped by German soldiers according to the jump price given by the store, and recovered nearly 5,000 blood points for himself. Some of the equipment with good attributes, he plans to wait until the next mission starts, and then go to the market to exchange some useful things for him.
After the rank was raised to the rank of second lieutenant, the volume of heraldic storage space was expanded several times compared to the original. Reached 10 cubes. Dozens of props are placed for a long time without stress.
Zhou Qi strolled through it, carefully browsing the goods on the shelves. When he comes across an item he is interested in, he can check the price through the coat of arms and get a more detailed description of the function.
In front of the pharmacy counter, Zhou Qi was surprised to see that mid-level mana potions and healing potions had appeared on the shelves. Although the price is 2% higher than the market. He still didn't hesitate to buy 5 bottles each. If you are prepared, you will be fine.
Turning around the potion counter, he stopped in front of the battle items counter. Eyes locked on an expensive tactical tablet. The small and thin body and the appearance of the black bottom plate make it look low-key and luxurious.
"Multifunctional tactical tablet type II. Item Class: Golden Rare. Item Effect 1: It can be connected to the heraldic space, record the surrounding terrain according to the user's field of vision, and automatically generate a 3D map. Item Effect 2: It can store teammate information to achieve high-precision and accurate positioning on the battlefield. There is no broken apple logo, but it has a higher quality. ”
In the just-concluded battlefield mission, there is no coordinate positioning, and the scene terrain cannot be accurately recorded. If it weren't for the presence of Gnomonov, a scout, he would have been basically blind. You can only rely on luck.
With just the first feature, Zhou Qi decided to take it. After paying 15,000 blood points. As if he had found a treasure, he carefully put the computer into the space.
After replenishing 100 high-explosive grenades for emergencies and picking out a few sets of everyday clothing, he happily ended his shopping trip.
When he walked out of the store, he found that twilight had crept down.
He hesitated for a moment. Zhou Qi changed into a casual black leather suit. Raise your feet and walk towards the bar located in the corner of the square.
The city is becoming more and more deserted at night. Walked through the empty square. Zhou Qi pushed open the door of the bar. Except for the song "Master of puppets" from the metal band, which is still as loud as yesterday. There were only a few poor two or three people sitting around the bar, drinking in silence.
Seeing the empty stage in the center, for some reason, Zhou Qi felt a faint sense of loss in his heart. As usual, it should be time for Ding Ning to perform.
He silently found a corner near the window, ordered a dozen beers, and a dinner. It's like sitting in the café outside the gate of Ziling Company before. In addition to tranquility, it is lonely.
Zhou Qi took a sip of wine and looked out the window. Under the bright and flickering lights, a pair of thick eyebrows and thin lips made the angular lines on his face a little more resolute.
In his mind, Xia Ruobing's delicate pretty face flashed from time to time, Fu Yunsheng's former cheerfulness and heartiness, and now his helplessness and sadness. Lao Chen, Xiaoxiao, Jianping. People who are alive and dead are pouring in, and the picture is like a dream.
"Alone?" A slightly hoarse voice from a woman interrupted his thoughts.
Zhou Qi turned his head, is it her?
I took off the heavy makeup on my face, and washed away the lead on my soft face. Dressed in a plain and elegant blue dress, compared with the sexy and bright wrapped in leather in the past, Ding Ning at this time looks beautiful and elegant. It's like a different person, maybe this is what she should be.
"Hey!" A smile appeared on Zhou Qi's face, but it was difficult to hide the surprise and admiration in his eyes, and he stood up and said hello. Invite Ding Ning to sit down.
"I thought you were back to reality. I didn't expect it to be there. ”
"I remember someone saying that they would treat me to a drink when the mission was over." Ding Ning sighed secretly. The apprehension suppressed in his heart disappeared with Zhou Qi's smile. The woman's sensitive intuition made her notice the look in Zhou Qi's eyes, which made her feel relieved and a little more joyful.
It's still a glass of amber whiskey, the same location and music as yesterday. People who drink alcohol have a very different mood.
"What's next for you?" A moment later, Zhou Qi broke the silence between the two. For Ding Ning, from a man's point of view, he is more appreciative. After a conversation in the square, he had already adopted a tolerant attitude towards some of the previous things. Treat her like a friend.
Even so, he didn't want Ding Ning to continue to perform in the bar and earn blood points by selling intelligence. Of course, this may also be a little selfish motive hidden in his heart.
Ding Ning's bright eyes dimmed slightly for a moment.
"I don't have much planning for the time being, but maybe I'll take a look at the mission." Ding Ning raised his head and looked at Zhou Qi, with a smile on his face and a little more expectation in his eyes.
"Well, if you can, it's better to join a team, it's safer. Space doesn't have the attribute bonus of charm. Zhou Qi smiled and teased.
Ding Ning pursed his lips and smiled, with infinite style. The dream-like flickering lights in the bar are eclipsed.
"Zhou Qi, can I contact you when I return to reality?"
"Of course, that's my pleasure. The big beauty called, and she didn't dare to quit her ears. Oh yes, you're planning to return in a moment? Zhou Qi happily reported the phone number to Ding Ning, and then asked.
"Well, finish this glass of wine."
"I still have some things to deal with. Probably a few more days here. Remember to make up for a beauty sleep when you go back, I heard that you women pay special attention to this. ”
"Well, I heard from your girlfriend, right?" Ding Ning still maintained a smile on his face, but there was a trace of reluctance.
"Well, don't you say that on the Internet?"
"Poof" Ding Ning couldn't help but chuckle, a moment of conversation, since entering the space, it was the happiest moment she had ever had.
Leaving the bar, I watched Zhou Qiyuan go away. After a long time, with a soft sigh, Ding Ning's slender figure turned into a streamer.
In the hotel room, the hot water from the shower head, along with the faint smell of alcohol, took away the tiredness of body and mind. Zhou Qi temporarily forgot the faint fragrance of orchid and musk that he had left in his nose before. His face looked solemnly at his right arm.
Before the mission began, the six-pointed star imprint was still light, but now it looks like the pattern has become clearer, and the color is like blood. He was sure it wasn't his delusion.
In the previous conversation with Qin Fei, he had also asked about this strange imprint head-on, but even Qin Fei didn't know why.
What's hidden here?
After washing, with a stomach full of questions, in the tossing and turning, Zhou Qi gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, after sorting out the equipment on his body for a while, and after enjoying a delicious breakfast, Zhou Qi strode towards the location of the mission teleportation point.
Standing in front of the towering teleportation light door, Zhou Qi sent a trial application to the space through the coat of arms.
"Contractor No. 5106 submits a request for a trial mission. The space review is in progress, the conditions of number 5106 are met, and the application for the trial task has been approved."
"Is Contractor Number 5106 determined to perform the Trials mission? Select OK, the random trial scene opens, and the teleportation starts after 30 seconds. ”
"Sure!"
A mysterious light flashed, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness came again, and Zhou Qi's figure gradually disappeared from the gate of Sin City.
