Chapter 33 Market and Equipment System
The slum where Ma Le is located is about ten kilometers away from the main city of Miracle City, separated by a large area of forest and wilderness. Luckily, there is a road through the wilderness to the city gates. Gu said that around Miracle City, there are a total of eight slums, and there are about 8,000 adventurers in Miracle City, more than half of whom live in slums.
Along the avenue to the Miracle City Gate, this is a majestic city, the overall style is similar to ancient Chinese architecture, except that the city walls and towers are much taller and thicker, the main gate alone is nearly twenty meters high, and the city tower is fifty meters away! What's even more amazing is that there is a flying island floating above the city, and there are colorful auspicious clouds floating around the flying island, exuding a soft light, reflecting the flying island like a fairyland.
There were four guards at the gate, and Ma Le paid 30 credits to enter the city, and finally entered the main city of Miracle City. There are many buildings in the city, and the overall style is still mainly Chinese, occasionally some European or halal style, and even some primitive thatched houses and bamboo buildings.
Not only are the buildings diverse, but the pedestrians on the streets are also diverse: some carry swords on their backs, some carry rifles, some wear ancient metal armor, and some wear futuristic power armor...... In short, you can see the difference in the direction of reinforcement between adventurers from the clothing.
Walking on the streets of Miracle City, Ma Le noticed that like the real city, there are restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, and most of the new things that are bought and sold are not in reality, which is dizzying. However, Ma Le pays more attention to the various auxiliary facilities in the city, some of which are used to help adventurers simulate battles, some are to provide information inquiry, some are exchanged for rare items, and some are used to repair equipment...... However, Ma Le is now just a commoner, and can only use the basic facilities. Ma Le spent 10 credits to buy a map of Miracle City, and counted the basic facilities including: primary training ground, equipment repair station, vending machine, information inquiry office.
After looking at the map, Ma Le realized that the main city of Miracle City was also divided into three parts, and the flying island in the sky was the first part, called the "Champion Holy Land", where the most advanced champion-level adventurers lived.
The city on the ground is also divided into two parts, directly below the "Champion Sanctuary", in the center of Miracle City, where there is a towering palace, is the inner city of Miracle City, where the second-level elite adventurers live.
The place where Ma Le is now located is the outer city, which surrounds the inner city, which occupies 80% of the area of the entire miracle city, and is where adventurers below the senior level live. On the map, the inner city and the champion sanctuary are only marked with names, and the specific structure of the interior is not described, and low-level adventurers are not qualified to know.
As he walked, Ma Le suddenly heard a noise, as if he had arrived near the vegetable market. Ma Le looked at the map and found that he was now in the vicinity of the largest open space in Miracle City, Miracle Square, which, according to Lao Dog, was a free market for adventurers to set up stalls and buy equipment and props!
Ma Le was excited, and hurriedly ran out of the street in a few steps, and suddenly a huge square appeared in front of him! In the center of the square stands a huge statue, a gorgeously dressed and beautiful woman with her arms outstretched, and a huge crystal ball floating above it, on which the image is constantly changing...... News hookup?
There is indeed news on the square, but the new things in the miracle city are played, and the miracle city will send thousands of adventurers into different worlds every day, which will inevitably happen a lot of new things, and there are often adventurers who take pictures of some adventures and send them to the news screening in the square, which can be played after review, increasing the knowledge of other adventurers, and the adventurers who provide news will also be rewarded, the higher the news value, the more generous the reward. This policy has even given rise to a group of dedicated "journalists" who are willing to give up their main mission to produce high-value news.
Of course, Ma Le didn't come here to watch the news, his attention was more focused on the hustle and bustle of the square below the crystal ball. At this time, at least thousands of people gathered on the miracle square, and there were hundreds of stalls densely packed on the ground, selling everything from weapons and equipment to potions and food, and all the goods on the stalls were set up in a shared mode, and a laser screen was suspended above each product, which introduced the attributes and characteristics of these goods in detail, so that buyers could understand the choice.
Ma Le shuttled between the stalls, looked at the goods one by one, read the introductions one by one, and gradually, he also had some understanding of the equipment system of Miracle City.
First of all, Ma Le found that the color of the name font is also different for different equipment, just like in the game, the color is used to divide the level of equipment. At the moment, the most common and cheapest ones are usually white, or grey gear. White equipment generally has no special effects, which is called tabula rasa equipment, while gray equipment seems to be worse than white, and generally has some prefixes such as "rusty", "worn", and "worn". Most of this equipment is very cheap, and is usually sold in bundles of ten or twenty pieces.
Slightly better than white is blue quality equipment, which generally has higher stats than white equipment, and some of them have special effects. Blue equipment is basically the mainstream of the market, compared to the white gray that is not in the stream, the quality of blue is outstanding, compared to the higher level, it is cheaper, and it is very suitable for entry-level and ordinary adventurers. The price is generally one or two thousand credits, and there are some special attributes that are good, or the additional effects are relatively rare, and even a high price of five thousand points can be marked!
The next level is the silver quality equipment, and from here, it is the equipment that can be put on the table. Ordinary and entry-level adventurers can still hold blue equipment, but senior adventurers can't. If you don't have one or two pieces of silver equipment in your hand, you're embarrassed to say hello! The basic attributes of silver equipment are stronger than those of blue, and almost all of them have more practical special effects, and some silver equipment even has a number of its own skills, even if the adventurer learns a passive skill and takes it, he can become a mage in a second and hold the whole field! Of course, the value of silver equipment with outstanding quality is also very high, and it can easily cost tens of thousands, and some of the better ones have a price tag of thirty or forty thousand or even higher! The price tag of the silver equipment gave Ma Le a feeling of being a poor person for the first time, after all, he was still a novice, and his background was not enough......
Better than silver equipment, Ma Le walked around for a long time, and only saw one. When I was far away, I saw a group of people surrounding there, and there was a faint hint of gold in the cracks! Ma Lefei squeezed into the crowd with all his might, and finally saw the most precious commodity in the entire market, the only piece of golden equipment!
This golden piece of equipment looks like a dagger, has a high panel attack, and can also increase the wielder's agility stat by 20 points and reduce the skill cooldown by 20%. The special effect is to add 180 random attribute elemental damage when attacking, and there is a chance to cause three times the physical critical hit, in addition, it also comes with a very practical active skill, which can divide two illusions that last ten minutes, with half of the body's life and attack power. This weapon is very powerful in terms of attributes, special effects and skills, and Ma Le saw at least six adventurers above the senior level competing for it, and then it simply developed into a auction. Eventually, the dagger was bought by a tall, thin man wearing a mask for 250,000 plus three silver smoke grenades. Ma Le heard someone talking next to him, the masked man seemed to be a well-known agile elder in Miracle City, and the other few who were asking for the price didn't want to hurt the harmony and didn't spend any money, otherwise this dagger should be able to sell for a higher price.
As for the ones that are more advanced than the golden equipment, Ma Le heard that there seems to be one, but I haven't seen it in this market. In addition to these grades, Ma Le also found a green piece of equipment, but instead of "green" in the quality column, it was written as "set". This is quite understandable, indicating that this equipment is a complete set, and you can obtain hidden attributes when you collect it. In addition, Ma Le has also seen some black equipment, but the quality is written "famous", which makes him a little puzzled, looking at the attributes, it seems to be higher than the blue ones, and some can even be comparable to the silver ones, but I don't know what kind of classification this is.
In addition to the level of equipment, Ma Le also saw some other doorways.
The so-called equipment is nothing more than armor and weapons, Ma Le has seen countless armor, and found that these armor are armor, and I have never seen armor that increases defense, and occasionally I will see armor that provides an additional damage reduction ratio, but that is all incidental special effects. As for weapons, this one is more interesting, and the main attribute of the weapon is damage. However, Ma Le found that under the damage attribute of melee weapons, there are often three other attributes, which are sharpness, hardness, and strength requirements.
Ma Le didn't quite understand what these meant at first, but after reading more, he realized that the basic damage of melee weapons was exactly equal to the product of these three! Some sword-type weapons generally have higher sharpness and lower strength requirements, while hammer-axe weapons generally have higher strength requirements and lower sharpness. The weapons that Ma Le has seen so far have basically single-digit attributes, and occasionally he will see some heavy weapons with a power requirement of more than 10, but the sharpness and hardness barely reach double digits.
Ma Leduo paid attention to listening to people's bargaining, praising and deprecating the performance of goods, and somewhat understood. I guessed correctly, these three items are indeed the root of the damage of weapons, of which the two attributes of sharpness and hardness are capped at 20, and the material technology that can be realized in the real world can create weapons with a maximum of 10 sharpness and 10 hardness, and more than ten are some legendary and sci-fi weapons. As for the strength requirement, the specific meaning of this attribute refers to the fact that if you want to use this weapon flexibly, you need several times the strength of ordinary people. For example, if the power requirement of a weapon is 5, it does not mean that 5 points of power can be used for it, but 5 here refers to 5 times the strength of ordinary people, in other words, it is about 15 points of power to be used flexibly. Of course, if the strength is less than 15, it doesn't mean that you can't take it, but if you don't use it flexibly, the damage will be greatly reduced. The strength requirement is generally tied to the weight, so there is no upper limit, so theoretically increasing the weight can increase the damage of the weapon indefinitely. However, no one really deliberately pursues the weight of the weapon, after all, anyone knows that the hammer is more powerful than the dagger, but when it comes to real fighting, the person who uses the dagger generally wins more. Therefore, the strength requirement of general weapons is in single digits, and it is easy and flexible to use, and it does not consume the body.
In addition, Ma Le also found that generally speaking, weapons with a sharpness greater than 3 will have a special effect that ignores 50% defense, while weapons with a strength requirement greater than 3 will generally have a special effect that ignores 50% armor. Sure enough, it was a blunt weapon that pierced the armor, and a sharp weapon cut people.
