Chapter 17: Shopping Spree
The East Acropolis took almost a month.
And this month's harvest is so big that even Xu Chen himself can't believe it.
First, through the gate of reincarnation, he awakened the hand of the thief from the previous life. Although he was teleported out of the city and almost died in the mouth of the needle wolf, he also had enough time to explore his abilities.
In addition to objects with a fixed form, some things that are rooted in the soul can also be stolen.
For example, ...... Talent.
On the first day of returning to the East Acropolis, Xu Chen thought about attacking the "sniper girl" and stealing the talent of every shot, but at the last moment Xu Chen gave up, so there was a small misunderstanding.
Although he didn't make a move on the girl, Xu Chen set his sights on a more valuable target.
That's ogres.
Feeling his newfound ability, Xu Chen became more and more excited.
"Gluttonous Mouth"
As long as you eat the right ingredients, you can gain some power from the ingredients, so as to strengthen yourself.
It is the ability to be reborn by eating large quantities.
Xu Chen understands this world and knows that the center of this world revolves around him is not a genius who retrieves his talents in his previous life, nor is he a sharpshooter who can only hide behind his back and control mechas.
At the center of this world is the legendary tenth-level martial artist, the martial god.
It is the existence that can stand up to the world with its own strength.
Although he has obtained this infinitely useful Thief Saint Hand, if he is satisfied with this, he can only wander in the middle and lower reaches of the world for the rest of his life.
For ordinary people, this may be a good choice, but it is far from enough for Xu Chen, what Xu Chen pursues is something higher and freer.
In order to achieve that goal, Xu Chen had to make himself stronger.
And after stealing the ogre's ability, Xu Chen also got together the admission ticket and stood on the starting line of the road to the Martial God.
Now the first step for Xu Chen to do is to become a real martial artist.
And the proof of becoming a martial artist is to feel the existence of qi.
This step is more inclined to test talents, and at the same time, there are too many methods, some people are born with qi, and some people feel qi through situations such as mental stimulation, huge blows, injuries and near-death, and unexpected qi.
Of course, in addition to this, there is also a relatively safe way, which is to push oneself to the limit of human beings through extremely hard martial arts training, so as to break through to become a martial artist.
Xu Chen doesn't have the talent.
Martial arts training? I have tried it a long time ago, and I am not that material at all.
Therefore, Xu Chen will not hesitate to cut the meat, but also in exchange for the "gluttonous mouth".
Eating has become Xu Chen's biggest task now.
Of course, ordinary food is definitely useless, and Xu Chen's goal is the meat of the Demon Beast.
First of all, Warcraft has enough powerful energy for oneself to ingest, and there are many types, making it easier to find suitable ingredients for oneself.
Just like an ogre, the ingredient that suits him is human flesh, as long as he eats human flesh, the strengthening effect will far exceed that of other ingredients several times, or even dozens of times.
What Xu Chen has to do now is to find the ingredients that suit him.
The human world has undergone several great changes, but one thing has remained the same.
That's the power of money.
With money, you can buy anything.
"Whew....... He let out a long breath.
Xu Chen, who returned home, waved his hand to open the virtual screen and turned on the online shopping mode.
In the meat product column, you can find the Edible Warcraft category.
"Huh!"
Hundreds of kinds of Warcraft come into view, and the price, grade, and characteristics are clearly visible.
Although there are many options, Xu Chen is most concerned about the price.
In order to improve one's strength as much as possible, money is the most important resource, and no penny can be wasted.
But...... Isn't that too expensive?
Looking at the prices above, some of the magical beasts are simply more expensive than the sky, and a hundred grams will cost 30,000 yuan. Let's take a look at the balance in your hand...... A little more than nine thousand.
"I'm so poor. ”
After a sigh, Xu Chen hurriedly streamlined the options, and didn't want any high-level demonic beasts.
"Hmm...... Forget it, don't want the mid-level ones either. "Looking at the price, it still doesn't seem to be very satisfied.
In the end, Xu Chen reduced the target to two options, the first of which was the first-order demonic beast, and the second option was the alien beast.
Unlike Warcraft, Alien Beast is a half-Warcraft Earth species, and although it is as aggressive as Warcraft, its attack power is far less than that of a real Warcraft.
"Tulou, a first-order demonic beast, the meat is soft and tender, one hundred grams...... Thirty bucks. "Felt the price was acceptable, added to the shopping list.
"The Heart of the Bone Horse, a first-order demonic beast, the heart of the Bone Horse, has a slightly putrid smell, it is recommended to fry it in oil, which can effectively remove the odor. "It seems a little hard to accept, but it's okay, after all, I was looking for the right ingredients for me, so I had to try everything.
"Black Pepper Snake, Alienated Beast, aggressive, non-venomous, and delicious meat. ”
"Man-devouring rats, first-order demonic beasts, living in groups, eighty yuan per hundred grams. ”
"The Wind Eagle of Death, a first-order demonic beast, scavengers, has trace amounts of toxins, and can cause hallucinations when used in large quantities. ”
"Steel silkworm, iron horn fairy larvae, hard shell, unique flesh inside, seventy yuan per 100 grams. ”
"Stone Armor Beast, Alien Beast, good at camouflage, fast movement, slightly acidic flesh, sixty yuan per hundred grams. Looking at the monster on the picture, Xu Chen always felt as if he had seen it somewhere, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that this guy was not a big guy who was in the forest, used as a stone, and slept there for half a night.
If it weren't for the attack of the needle wolf, he wouldn't have noticed that he was alive.
Scenes flashed, everything was like yesterday, smiled faintly, and bought him a hundred grams.
In this way, after Xu Chen carefully selected, more than 80 kinds of ingredients were bought at an average price of 100 grams and 50 yuan.
The same 100 grams, taste the effect first, if it is an ingredient that has no improvement, you can just give it up, and buy it in large quantities if the effect is good.
However, like everyone else.
When I bought it, I didn't feel too much, and when I paid for it, Xu Chen almost felt distressed to death. Nearly 4,000 yuan, half of his assets, just spent.
"It's too much money to spend. Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but have a headache.
Just by trying, he spent almost half of his money, not to mention buying a large number of them in the future, if he continues like this, after trying the second wave, Xu Chen will have to wander the streets.
The word poor weighed heavily on Xu Chen's body.
At this moment, although I got the final ticket and went to the table, I had no money to gamble, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing.
Besides, there are still more than five months to go to school, and if you can't become a second-level martial artist before then, you won't even be able to reach the threshold of the Genius Academy.
Time is far more stressful than in the image.
Under normal circumstances, a person who can naturally feel qi, and if he wants to become a martial artist, he must undergo rigorous training every day from the age of five, and if he can achieve qi induction into the body at the age of fifteen, he is already a genius of martial arts.
And if you want to further refine your body and form a sea of qi in your body to store energy, it will take five years to say the least.
If you can't become a second-level martial artist before the age of twenty, you won't be qualified to enter the primary selection of the Genius Academy at all, let alone the main exam later.
But it's a pity that Xu Chen is nineteen years old this year, and if he misses this time, he won't have another chance in the future
The tight time meant that he had to achieve the realm that those martial arts geniuses could only achieve in fifteen years in five months.
Restless, sitting cross-legged on the bed, desperately rubbing his temples with his hands, his head racing, thinking about how to make money.
An hour passed.
The few solutions he came up with were all vetoed by himself.
At first, Xu Chen also considered going out of the city to hunt Warcraft, but it was too difficult, and now he was not the opponent of Warcraft, and even if he used the hand of the Thief to sneak attack and kill one or two Warcraft, it might not be the right ingredients for him, the efficiency was too low, and the risk was too great.
Since you can't go out of the city, why don't you stay in the city and work?
Soon, this path was also rejected, even if he pushed away all the redundant subjects in the school and used the saved time to work part-time, the money he earned was quite limited, which was not enough to support Xu Chen's huge financial needs.
In the end, Xu Chen's temples were almost rubbed purple, and he didn't think of any effective ideas.
"What can I do, it's too dangerous to hunt monsters, and it's too slow to make money in a proper manner. ”
"Huh?" As soon as he thought of this, Xu Chen suddenly seemed to think of something.
Since you can't make enough money by the rules, what about the unruly methods?
Thinking of this, Xu Chen looked at his hands.
"Or ...... I'm going to steal it?"
Stealing together, it was like a wild horse that had escaped, and he couldn't hold it anymore: "I'm a thief of the saint's hand, if I don't go out to steal, wouldn't it be a condescending talent!"
After thinking about it, Xu Chen didn't say a word, put on his clothes and walked out of the house, and went straight to the densely populated place by car.
An hour later.
Xu Chen stood in the middle of the bustling crowd, looking at the flow of people with a wooden expression.
"I ...... What am I stealing? What age is this, 500 years ago? No one spent gold coins for a long time!"
Holding the "so-called wallet" in your hand, there is no money in it at all, most people have long switched to virtual payment, and without identity authentication, not a penny can be spent.
The plan fell through, Xu Chen stood on the street in a daze, turned his head slightly, refracted through the window, and looked at his appearance, just like the second fool in the next village.
Xu Chen is still unwilling, if you can't steal money on the street, the bank will definitely be able to!
After thinking about it, Xu Chen found the largest bank in the neighborhood and got into it.
But after entering, looking at the counter where the business was done, Xu Chen fell into confusion again.
"What am I stealing, and where is the money?"
That's right, the bank does have money, but the money is in the vault, and Xu Chen doesn't know where the vault is hidden.
Besides, even if you see the vault, you probably won't be able to steal anything with the length of your arm.
