Chapter 17: The Scarlet Market
Young people's shops are much more conscientious than the old women before them in terms of price and variety. There are some high-level weapons on the www.biquge.info of the pen %fun %pavilion, and in addition, there are two more types of things sold here that Zhang Chen has never seen, one is the character attribute point, and the other is the third-level talent scroll. The former is divided into four categories: strength, agility, wisdom, and spirit, and the unit price of each category is about the same, but it also requires two blood weapons, which is really unfortunate for Zhang Chen, who has less than seventeen blood weapons.
As for the talent scroll, it should be a strange ability like Zhao Boyuan that can spontaneously combust his body. Looking faintly at the few third-level talent scrolls in the talent column on the image, the average selling price was above twenty blood weapons......
"Hello, do you need anything?" This time, the shopkeeper was replaced by a literary young man of the same age as Zhang Chen, wearing a pale yellow sweatshirt and a pair of white-framed glasses.
It was a heartfelt smile, completely different from the commercialized mechanical smile of an old woman. It seems to exude an affinity, but with a hint of the pride of a strong man......
"I want to ask, why is your store different from other people's?" Zhang Chen opened his mouth seriously, he was thinking, isn't this also a continuation of the VIP system in the real world? It would be ironic if it was as he expected.
Fortunately, the other party's answer did not disappoint him:
"Because I'm no longer in the category of F-class newcomers, every time your strength crosses a large level, the basic items you receive from the Scarlet City will change accordingly. It's like this 'Thunder Shadow' used to display goods, now it can store more products at once, and the screen has been enlarged a lot. The man smiled faintly and touched the video screen next to him, his eyes showing pity.
F-rated newcomer? Is it meant to be like me? Also, this thing is called 'Thunder Shadow'? It's really a domineering name......
After continuing to exchange a few polite words with the young boss, Zhang Chen also left the store with a slight apology. Less than half of the time has passed, and there are still shops in front of them that are infinitely elongated and densely packed with thunder shadows.
After Zhang Chen's observation, he thought that he could buy at least a decent weapon or talent with a full twenty blood weapons, but it turned out that his poor blood weapon really couldn't buy anything except enough to pay for two months' room expenses.......
At this time, Zhao Boyuan's voice suddenly sounded in the spirit ring: "Zhang Chen, where are you now?" Is Xinyan with you? I've got a run into a dead fat guy here. ”
Where's it going? Grandpa's, isn't this street the same before and after, how do I know where I am...... Zhang Chen resisted the urge to complain and replied, "I don't know where I am." ”
Although there are not many people on this street known as the blood-colored market, the thunder shadows densely placed on both sides of the street are really dizzying, and more importantly, Zhang Chen does not have enough blood weapons, so in the end he can only look at those cherished or powerful commodities dryly, staring wide-eyed.
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, Xinyan on the other end also emitted the same emotion. It doesn't sound like Xiao Nizi's interest is very high, and it should be the first time that she has experienced that it is not easy to be a 'poor'.
"If you go ahead, you should see a strange building standing in the middle of the street, and we are waiting for you there, and we have something to discuss with you." Zhao Boyuan seemed to be very noisy, and after saying this, the call of the spirit ring ended. Zhang Chen thought that Zhao Boyuan and the others were in trouble again, and they had no interest in continuing to shop.
After walking for fifteen minutes, after turning two or two corners, the strange buildings in Zhao Boyuan's mouth began to meet Zhang Chen's sight. It was a circular retro building resembling the Forbidden City, about three stories high, with a needle-like silver tube standing on top of it, and the entire building was covered in a pitch-black energy circle, rippling with water ripples in the breeze......
Xinyan had arrived before Zhang Chen, and after the four of them met, Zhao Boyuan began to introduce the origin of this mysterious building. According to him, its existence is nothing short of a miracle.
Talents, skills, attribute points, artifacts, but anything that has appeared in the blood market, you must find it here. To be precise, most of the goods that have been inflated in price outside are produced here. Here, newcomers get talents, skills, and the like that are useless to themselves, and they are pulled into the market to trade with those who need them......
"In other words, they deliberately bought at a low price here and then deliberately sold at a high price in an outside position? I'll just say, all the weapons are expensive and scary, these profiteers ......" After Zhang Chen listened to Zhao Boyuan's words, he angrily smashed his fist on the door post next to him.
"You can't say that." Zhao Boyuan looked at the entrance of the black hole in the arched circular building in front of him with complicated eyes, and continued: "The trading method here is different from the outside, to put it simply, the buyer does not have the right to decide the item, after delivering a certain amount of blood weapon, the system will randomly generate an equivalent item, including talent, skill or a certain amount of attribute points......."
"It's like a quick and easy gambling tool, and the blood weapon in our hands is the gambling chips. Here, you can rely on your luck to become the ultimate powerhouse overnight, or you can lose all your money and fall into this city called the Scarlet Capital until you are obliterated by the rules here......"
"Because of its drama, people here like to call it the land of redemption, but for so many years, I really haven't heard of anyone who has gone out from here to become stronger....... besides, you know more or less about my talent, it was in this that I got it by luck, damn it, I still remember when that scroll fell into my arms, Lao Tzu was so excited that he almost knelt down!"
Zhao Boyuan said excitedly. "Of course, if it is really regarded as a place of salvation, it will probably not have a chance to go up in the future. It's still okay to spend one or two blood weapons every time to play, and maybe there will be an unexpected gain. ”
Zhang Chen nodded, gambling can't be eaten as a meal, but since you have come, it's still okay to play, anyway, the few poor blood weapons at hand can't change anything, and immediately said tentatively: "Go in and have a look?" ”
Seeing that Xinyan and Liu Weiqiang on the side did not object, Zhang Chen took the lead and walked in.
The interior of the Land of Redemption is much larger than it looks from the outside, with circular wooden walls inlaid with countless gems of various colors, and as soon as he enters the interior, Zhang Chen's eyes are focused on several three-dimensional buildings surrounded by many people in the center.
"That's the machine!"
The four of them walked towards the nearest machine. In front of it stood a middle-aged man who looked like an uncle, he first put his finger with a spirit ring on the induction device on the right side of the machine, and at the same time, three different blood measuring device selection windows began to appear on the machine screen, which were divided into one, five sisters, and ten in turn.......
The middle-aged man did not look very wealthy, and his face showed a pale sallow-yellow sickly complexion, and his face drooped. After a while, he raised his trembling hand and pressed it towards the option of ten blood weapons.......
The selection page disappears and is gradually occupied by a question mark. After a few seconds, as if something had entered the man's spirit ring from the screen, he stared blankly at the interface that had returned to selecting the number of blood vessels, and suddenly burst into tears.
At this time, two staff members walked out of the hall and lifted the man who was crying with a cold face, as if they didn't want unrelated people to disturb others. Taking a deep breath, Zhang Chen glanced at the machine that temporarily vacated the seat, and asked tentatively to the three people behind him, "I'll come first?" ”
"You are the captain, of course you take the lead, remember, take it when you see it, don't play big!" Zhao Boyuan patted him on the shoulder and asked.
Zhang Chen didn't care about the strange eyes of other onlookers, and went straight to the machine. There, as if there was still the sad cry of the man just now...... He slowly moved the spirit ring towards the sensing device, it was the first time in his life that he had done this kind of thing, and Zhang Chen had more or less strange apprehension in his heart.
Let's start with a blood weapon. With a decision in his mind, Zhang Chen reached out and moved to the option on the far right side of the screen. "Hey, what is this?" Just as he was about to put his hand up, a message prompt suddenly appeared in the center of the screen: The newcomer uses the system for the first time, and can check the corresponding option corresponding to the prize category, do you want to check it?
Seeing this, Zhang Chen silently clicked the yes button.
The first thing that appears is all the prizes corresponding to a blood weapon, including 1-5 points of randomness of each attribute, random fragments of low-level weapons or low-intermediate weapons, fragments of F-level talents or EF-level skills, fragments of third-level talent scrolls or second- and third-level talent scrolls, combat power evaluators, and various functional potions........
Then there are five blood weapons, basically each of which is one level higher than one blood weapon, of course, it also includes all the prizes in the prize pool of one blood weapon, and so on.
With a general understanding of the prizes for each option, Zhang Chen speculated that Zhao Boyuan's fire element talent had to consume at least five blood weapons to have a chance to obtain it. Even so, he was calm and conservative by nature, and he honestly suppressed a subtle fluke in his heart and chose the option of a blood weapon.
The machine began to tremble faintly, and the enlarged version of the question mark on the screen appeared dazzling, followed by the countdown number, 3-2-1-!
In the next second, Zhang Chen, who was not mentally prepared, was completely dumbfounded after seeing the real items on the screen.
"What's this?"
