Chapter 4 The Beginner Market
The bazaar is like no one is in charge, there are people setting up stalls everywhere, and outside the bazaar is a small town of 1,000 people, when Mo Huai came out, he saw that there were a lot of people here, and there were some other types of creatures, handsome elves, terrifying minotaurs, and so on.
"Yo, there's a newcomer here who hasn't run naked!" Mo Huai just wanted to go to the market to have a look, a more neutral voice came from the other side, and looked at the voice, Mo Huai saw a boy with light blue hair, the boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, blue eyes and light blue hair, a little indescribable sense of bewitchment, Mo Huai had never seen such a beautiful boy paper anyway.
Seeing Mo Huai looking at himself, the boy smiled at him, then took out a manual from his arms and said, "All the game information here is summarized, do you want it?" Even if you have acquaintances, you won't know that there is more to it than here. The price is not expensive, a hundred points of game currency, I will not pit you. β
"A hundred in-game coins?" Mo Huai glanced at the manual, and just wanted to hesitate, the boy's blue eyes seemed to see Mo Huai's concerns, and continued: "Of course, you don't want it, you can go to other places and ask, it's all at this price." β
Hearing the blue-haired boy's words, Mo Huai glanced up at the bazaar, as well as the surrounding environment - this is a township-like place, his location is in the township bazaar, the top of his head is covered by dirty black, and there is a huge pillar in the center of the town that goes straight into the sky, and the pale black tentacles and slime-like things leak out from the gaps in the dark clouds, adding a bit of horror.
It's an oppressive space, and as far as Mo Huai can see, there are apartments and canteens in the far side of the town, and there are also pedestrians walking around, and there seem to be a lot of people, and they should all be gamers.
I don't know anything about this place, if all the information has to be collected by myself, it is really slow, Mo Huai thought for a while, and said, "Show me first, okay?" β
"Oh, okay." The blue-haired boy finished handing the booklet to Mo Huai.
Don't look at this booklet is small, but it has an introduction of nearly 100,000 words, he doesn't believe that Mo Huai can memorize it, and showing Mo Huai can deepen Mo Huai's desire to buy it.
The time to turn on the time difference slowed down, Mo Huai quickly memorized the booklet in a few seconds, and then returned it to the blue-haired boy, and said with a smile: "Xie Lu Xie, I have no interest in it anymore." β
The blue-haired boy originally thought that Mo Huai would buy it without hesitation after taking two glances, but who knew that Lu Dao was the ending, and couldn't help but be unwilling: "Hey, newcomer, isn't the introduction on it complete?" Or what's the matter? This thing can save your life in the early stage! β
Mo Huai was stunned for a moment, this little boy was quite positive, presumably because of the hundred game coins, but he didn't bother to explain, and waved his hand directly, "If you don't want to buy it, you don't want to buy it!" β
"Hmph, I'll let you buy it today!" The blue-haired boy was anxious, pulled out a pistol and pointed at Mo Huai, she had never met such a witty newcomer, but it didn't matter if she scared him into buying this instruction manual.
"Don't scare me, Article 36 of the game regulations, the novice village is a safe area, and brawls are prohibited." Mo Huai waved his hand, as if he was chasing flies.
"You!" The blue-haired boy was stupid, how did he know the rules of the game so clearly, could it be just now?
"What is Article 120 of the Newbie Regulations?" The blue-haired boy asked.
"There are 120 rules for beginners, and players can't force them to buy and sell." Mo Huai replied.
The blue-haired boy was stupid, he had never seen someone with such a good memory, so when he read the booklet just now, this man had already memorized the original game rules.
After looking at Mo Huai in astonishment for a while, the blue-haired boy shook his head and said, "Yuwei, it's nice to meet you!" β
"I still have something to do, don't bother me."
After saying this, Mo Huai accepted the friend invitation of "Yuwei", clicked OK casually, and then left.
Watching Mo Huai leave fiercely, Yuwei couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "What are you dragging, don't you have a better memory, Miss Ben is not rare, no, it's Ben Gongzi!" β
After saying that, he stomped his feet
The booklet recorded a lot of information in it, and with the help of the information inside, Mo Huai probably knew where he was.
This is what gamers call the Newbie Village, and all the people who are sent over will return to this place after going through the game's tutorials.
No one knows what it's like outside the novice village, people only know it, and everyone will appear here after the preliminary tasks are completed. There are also plenty of places for gamers to spend in-game currency, and there are grocery stores all around the novice village where you can buy all sorts of things.
Attributes, Equipment, Skills, Items, Pets, Bloodlines...... All the enhancements you can imagine can be bought here. Of course, there is more than one enhancement item in the store, and many pleasures that cannot be enjoyed in reality can be purchased with game points, but for the people of the novice village, few people will buy these pleasures, after all, most of the people in this novice village are people who have experienced less than three games.
To put it bluntly, everyone is a newcomer, first, they have no spare money, and second, no one will joke with their lives - unless there is a complete loss of hope.
So, for those things that are used for pleasure, there are very few records in this booklet.
In addition to the official enhancement system, the small book also records a relatively "folk" or trading market between gamers - that place is a small market in the center of the novice village where people will sell equipment items that they don't use or want to exchange for game gold to other gamers, or exchange them for what they need.
The things that appear in this kind of bazaar are more complex than what is sold by the system, but they are relatively cheap - after all, no one will buy private items if the effect is about the same and the price is the same.
There are a lot of brochures about this small bazaar, and there are even some suggestions written in it, according to the blue-haired boy, it is best to check out the new people to buy things here, because generally few people here can afford to buy things from the game store.
And in addition to these shops, enhancements and the like, there are also a lot of other things recorded in the small book - such as renting a room, it's best not to go out and walk around in the middle of the night, because the night here is PK public.
"Is PK open at night?" Mo Huai looked at the clock at 12:30 in the upper right corner of the game interface, it seemed that there was still some time, and thought for a while, "Let's go to the market now." β
According to the booklet's records, there should be no less than a thousand people here, and here, a large number of people die every day for each mission, but in the same way, new people are constantly being teleported every day, and the number has been maintained at a little more than a thousand.
More than 1,000 people are in a novice village, in fact, it is not crowded but it is not deserted, Mohuai walks in the novice village, and can see all kinds of people.
"First go to the grocery store opened by the system to see what there is, although it may not be necessary to buy it, but it is better to see the market price." Mo Huai looked at the manual in his hand, walked into a grocery store in the direction of the above, and opened the system store.
In the empty room, Mo Huai only saw an LCD screen, and there were countless services at the top of the screen, which could be voice-activated or manual, and the operation was very convenient and intelligent - but there would be no tutorials.
After arriving at the store, Mo Huai didn't look at anything else, but first browsed through the stat-enhanced props and equipmentβand then shook his head in disappointment.
"Lack of value for money." Mo Huai casually flipped through the menus listed on the screen, "An attribute enhancement volume costs 1,000 game coins, and these skills, each of which costs tens of thousands, this bloodline is more expensive, the bloodline of the immortal bird, 10 million game coins, it is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to buy." β
There is no way, Mo Huai can only look at the things that he has the ability to consume in a short period of time, these things are usually some small equipment and props with an evaluation of about ten points, but they are really not very practical.
For example, an ordinary flashlight here costs 100 game coins - Mo Huai desperately works hard for 1800 game coins, and a flashlight is 100 game coins, which is equivalent to Mo Huai playing a game is worth 18 flashlights, and the system store is really not very worthwhile.
Because the system was too dark, Mo Huai took a general look at it, then shook his head and left.
Mo Huai has already strengthened it before, and the next step is to buy equipment - if 700 game coins are bought here, it will be able to buy a fruit knife, so Mo Huai plans to go to the outside market to have a look.
The purpose of his coming here is to live a new life, to live an ordinary life, and before realizing this wish, he must become stronger - after all, there will be very difficult opponents to deal with in the next difficulty, and very difficult mission scenarios, and any resources must be maximized.
With more than 700 game coins, Mo Huai is ready to optimize him.
After all, in terms of physical strength, he is already a lot weaker than others, and if he wants to make up for these gaps, he will look at how to use more than seven hundred points.
So after a short stay at the system grocery store, Mo Huai appeared in the market in the center of the novice village.
The bazaar is not far from the front of the system grocery store, in the center of the entire novice village, and the stalls are arranged in a circle, forming a large circle, and there is a large tavern in the middle, which is constantly making this noisy sound.
After visiting several places in the novice village, Mo Huai found that there were the most people in this trading market - everyone cared about their own strengthening, after all, strengthening was the guarantee of life, so it was not surprising that there were the largest number of people here.
When Mo Huai came to the trading market, he found that there were five or six hundred people here, if you exclude the number of people who are still on the task, this should account for more than half of the people in the entire novice village, most of them are wandering and looking aimlessly, and there are dozens of people selling things.
These sellers all send out the attributes of the things they want to sell in the display board that comes with the system for people to choose, just like setting up a stall.
Dozens of people, selling more than 200 kinds of things, after Mo Huai briefly browsed it, he finally locked his eyes on two things.
The first is a 54 pistol with a maximum range of 100 meters, which is of good quality - and what Mohuai likes the most is its special effect, which automatically generates air bullets when this equipment has no bullets, but the attack power is reduced by half. The overall assessment score is: 30 points.
30 points is already very high for a 54 pistol, and the most lacking thing in the early game is a ranged weapon, and the price of a 54 pistol in the system is also 1500 game coins.
Thermal weapons in the game are scarce, and the price is also very expensive, with a price tag of 500 points of in-game currency, but there are many people who look at it, and there are very few people who want to buy it.
After all, novices can't afford this thing, and after two or three missions, it's not too practical for veterans, so it's a bit chicken.
However, Mo Huai is very fond of this thing - after all, his current hand-to-hand combat ability is extremely poor, although he has jet lag to strengthen his reflexes, but compared to those gamers or monsters whose strength is several times that of him, he and the other party have no fight at all. So the temptation of ranged weapons in the early stage is far greater for him than anything else.
In addition to this 54 pistol, there is another thing he likes, that is a skill scroll, the name of the skill is called "Laurent's Heart Eye", and the skill evaluation has reached a score as high as that of healing, passive: can make the learner's attack power bonus 15, active: can consume 50 energy points every 5 seconds to reflect physical damage.
This is what makes Mo Huai more excited - to be honest, after a mission, the most dissatisfied thing about him is that his strength and ability are very different from monsters, his body is simply brittle, and the feeling that he will die if he touches it at will really makes him unsustainable.
So he was very greedy for Laurent, but the 3,000-point selling price also discouraged him.
"Damn, I can't afford to smash the pot and sell iron!" Money is only known when it is used, even if Mo Huai is such a calm person, in the face of temptation, he still can't be completely calm in his heart, looking at Laurent's heart, Mo Huai gritted his teeth, and finally took out the legendary school uniform - he wants to set up a stall!
