Chapter 5: The Golden Twin Blades
The number of zombies outside is less than a hundred, scattered around the debris and garbage.
The huge square actually gave birth to an inexplicable sense of desertion at this moment.
Luo Jie did not go to the spacious main entrance, but came to the side of the Good Luck City complex according to the map, and with the help of the black ghost's height and strength that was far beyond ordinary people, he threw him onto a viewing platform on the second floor.
This is the best strategy route summed up by explorers in previous lives, which can directly bypass the dense crowd of corpses in the first floor of the shopping street, thus saving a lot of time.
Of course, such a leap forward must be based on a sufficient understanding of the environment and the enemy, otherwise it is very likely to fall into the danger from which you cannot escape.
The viewing platform is the open-air part of a café with an area of about 80 or 90 square meters, which is cleverly divided into several areas by green vegetation.
Several zombies stood under the sun umbrella in a daze, and began to move after noticing the breath of the living, and their staggering steps stepped on the wooden floor of the platform, making different shades of knocking sounds.
Bang Dang——!
A fat male zombie knocked over the small round table, opening his arms to Luo Jie like an old friend who had not seen him for a long time, and only half of his bloody tongue could be seen hanging down on his missing chin, God knows how this dignity would bite.
"Give me ——! death"
Luo Jie grabbed the folding stool next to him, his waist suddenly exerted force, and his arms were rounded and slapped on the zombie's left shoulder, which immediately smashed the fat zombie and tripped over the corner of the table and fell to a.
Roar——!
The fat zombie struggled to get up, Luo Jie stepped on his back, adjusted the stool and inserted the foot into the back of the fat zombie's head.
Two more zombies pounced, Luo Jie didn't have time to pull out the folding stool, so he could only pull down the square table next to him to block one of them, and then casually pulled out a sun umbrella printed with the logo of the café, and pushed it off the edge of the platform with the umbrella cover.
While the other zombies were still stuck on the green partition wall, Luo Jie rushed to the door as fast as he could, opened the door and dodged into the café.
The situation inside the café was no better than outside, and a dozen zombies were crouching in the messy hall and gnawing on several corpses that had long since lost their human form.
A zombie dressed as a waiter screamed at the smell of flesh and blood, but he could not find an exit to the outside world, so he could only reluctantly bang on the bar in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Luo Jie jumped over the bar without hesitation, picked up the coffee pot on the counter, and smashed the head of the waiter zombie open the flower several times in a row.
Attracted by the loud sound of the coffee pot cracking, the other zombies abandoned the corpses on the ground and wandered over, only to be blocked out by the chest-high marble bar.
At this time, Luo Jie finally had a little respite.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little overly entrusted.
Originally, his plan was to go directly to the security room on the second floor, and then replenish his weapons there and start the first hidden mission, but the skin of these zombies was beyond his imagination, and those miscellaneous "Jackie Chan-style weapons" alone were obviously not enough to support him to fight his way out of the corpses.
Do you want to go back to the shopping street on the first floor?
Luo Jie subconsciously shook his head and directly denied this plan.
From the time estimate, it is very likely that the man in sunglasses has already arrived in the shopping street, and if he turns around and returns at this time, he will almost 100% meet the man in sunglasses.
At that time, even if the man in sunglasses is stupid, he can guess that he is the one who sold maps before.
So, where is the nearest place with weapons?
Luo Jie subconsciously turned his gaze to the left-hand direction, and through the transparent glass window on the side of the corridor of the café, the five traditional characters of "Zhao Ji Antique Shop" were particularly conspicuous among the rows of English letters.
He remembered that the explorer's strategy had mentioned that the best cold weapons in Good Luck City were basically from this "Zhao Ji Antique Shop".
It's just not easy to get into.
The structure of this antique shop resembles that of an ancient Chinese pawnshop, with iron fences the thickness of fingers on all sides, and only a thick security door connecting to the outside world.
Aside from the key, only C4 can open the door - but Good Luck doesn't have the kind of Taliban fighter favorite.
So, if you want to get the key, you must first find the antique shop owner.
And if you want to know where the owner of the antique shop is, you have to go to the security room to retrieve the surveillance footage.
In this way, for the current Luo Jie, this has become an endless cycle.
Wait a minute......
Luo Jie suddenly realized that he seemed to have walked into a blind spot of thinking—if he couldn't get in, it didn't mean that other things couldn't get in.
Black Ghost.
The fifty seconds left may not kill a few zombies, but throwing a few weapons from the gap in the fence is more than enough.
Smoke-like IBM particles drifted through the hallway, and the mummy-emaciated black figure gradually appeared inside the iron fence of the antique shop.
As soon as he regained his mobility, Luo Jie immediately manipulated the black ghost and went straight to the row of medieval-style weapon racks on the wall.
Bang Dang! Whoa——!
In the process of jumping, the antique shelf that the black ghost trampled on lost its balance and overturned, and a large number of antique sundries fell from the shelf to the ground.
"Huh?"
Luo Jie inadvertently noticed that there was a hidden compartment behind the overturned shelf, and there was a long wooden box with an old appearance stuck inside.
There were less than thirty seconds left in the existence of the black ghost, and Luo Jie didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously pulled out the long wooden box, and stuffed it out of the gap in the iron fence together with a few weapons that he had taken off the wall before.
A moment later, the weapon and the wooden box were picked up from the corridor by Luo Jie and placed on the ground in front of him one by one.
There are three weapons.

After reading the attributes of these three weapons, Luo Jie couldn't help but gasp.
Generally speaking, each level of equipment can also be broken down into five qualities.
From high to low, they are distinguished by five colors: "gold, purple, blue, green, and white".
White is the so-called tabula rasa equipment, which has extremely low attributes and does not have any accompanying skills, and almost no one will use it except for newcomers who are shy in their pockets.
Green equipment can be seen as an enhanced version of white equipment, and it also has no accompanying skills, but due to its relatively large production, it has always been the mainstream equipment for players, and it is also the most popular commodity in the market.
Since the beginning of blue, the equipment has been equipped with skills, and while the power has skyrocketed, the production rate has also decreased sharply, and even before Luo Jie's rebirth, the blue equipment has not been popularized to the extent that everyone has one piece.
If blue gear is just a rarity, then purple gear is definitely rare.
According to the statistics released by the Explorers Guild, on average, no more than three pieces of purple equipment can be generated for each opening of the illusion, and most of them have extremely strict acquisition conditions and high certification fees.
Coupled with the malicious competition between players, as well as various objective force majeure, the production rate of purple equipment has directly led to the production rate of purple equipment dropping again and again, and even reaching the point where five illusions cannot bring out one.
As for the legendary golden equipment, it is also nicknamed "character equipment" by players, and it is generally only produced in the random appearance of hidden mission rewards.
And the most disgusting thing is that these random quests all have a one-time attribute, as long as they are triggered once in a certain fantasy, they will not appear again regardless of whether the CD is finished or not.
Therefore, even though the Explorer's Guild continues to collect and publish detailed explanations of the strategies for these random missions, no one has actually brought out a piece of golden equipment with these strategies, and most players just read it as gossip news.
Previously, Luo Jie only remembered that he had mentioned in the guide that the reward for the hidden task of saving the owner of the antique shop was very rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.
Two blue weapons and one purple weapon, which is almost a third of the number of high-level equipment that can be produced by a first-level illusion.
It's a pity that finding it is not the same as getting, if you can't pay the certification points, no matter how good the equipment is, you can only look at it.
Luo Ring now only has 2400 points, and can certify up to one blue weapon.
But he didn't want to give up any of it, especially the rare purple weapon [Executioner's Ghost Head Broadsword], and he couldn't help but make a mistake for a while.
At this moment, he inexplicably remembered a sentence he had read on the Internet - what choice phobia? It's just poor.
To tell the truth, it's really heart-wrenching......
"Forget it, let's take a look at the contents of this box first......"
Luo Jie could only use this as a temporary distraction.
But then again, he was also very curious about the contents of this long wooden box, after all, in common sense, only extremely valuable items would be hidden so hidden.
Lifting the lid of the box, two khatana swords, one black and one red, shimmering with cold light, lay quietly on the golden velvet cloth.
Although no one held it, he could still feel a fierce sword intent rushing towards his face.
