Chapter 34: The Ultimate Market
Ma Le shrugged his shoulders a little disappointed, looking at the time, there are still twenty days until the first of next month.
Speaking of which, becoming a senior, the change is not just as simple as adding two skill bars, the way adventurers perform tasks, and the life in the city battle system have changed a lot, one of the larger points is the mission cycle!
After entering the senior level, the task cycle has changed from the original week to 14 to 16 days, and the specific time limit is determined according to the situation of the month, in short, it is guaranteed twice a month, the first task is completed before the center point of the month, and the second task is completed after the center point. According to the calculation of January 30 days, it is the first time before the 15th, and the second time after the 15th.
There is no longer a limit to the date you can participate in a mission, as long as you are in this cycle, it doesn't matter which day you participate in the mission. Moreover, in each cycle of the system, senior adventurers are also given an additional opportunity to enter the city battle system, and the time they can stay in the system is the same as the adventurer's original stay. In other words, although the adventurer's quest cycle has doubled, the time to enter Miracle City has hardly changed, the average is still once a week, and the date is arbitrary, and the monthly meeting naturally does not conflict with the quest. Of course, for Ma Le, he has one extra chance, and he can enter three times in a cycle.
Leaving the platform of the council, Ma Le stepped on the climbing bricks and floated downward, through the layers of buildings, and soon came to another building.
Unlike other places with its antique, elegant and harmonious style, this aerial structure has its teeth and claws, its doors carved with the dreaded ghost head, and its walls stained with blood, making it look full of evil spirits.
According to the map marking, this is the entrance to the Proving Grounds, which is open on the last day of each month.
Speaking of which, the Proving Ground is also a new permission that adventurers get after entering the senior level. When it opens, adventurers will be able to enter a huge otherworld, where all kinds of monsters from various mission worlds are entrenched, and they are full of dangers and horrors. And all adventurers have to do is survive that proving ground.
Of course, this will not be a simple survival mission, the system will also release some tasks, and the rewards will be higher than ordinary tasks, of course, the difficulty will never be low, and it will be up to the adventurer to weigh it up at that time.
It sounds like this proving ground is a good place for adventurers to hone their skills and strengthen their strength, but in reality, the survival rate of this place is quite low. Because the elite level and senior level inside can be entered, and the difficulty of the monsters inside is still set for the elite level, and its difficulty is higher than that of the vast majority of elite-level worlds, so if the senior level enters, it is basically a life of nine deaths.
If you don't complete the task, you will be punished greatly, and if you complete the task, you may die, and this proving ground will also occupy a cycle of the mission world, with a fixed 80-point evaluation, and no rewards for clearing the customs! Therefore, after entering, whether or not you can get the desired promotion is a question that every adventurer needs to consider. And those who dare to challenge the proving ground are definitely masters with great confidence in their strength!
By the way, entering the trial ground is not just anyone, adventurers above the senior level, every time they pass through the mission world with a qualified evaluation or above, they will get one point, and to enter the trial ground, they must save enough two points, so even if Ma Le is fast, he can only catch up with the trial ground next month.
I'm a little disappointed, I wanted to go in and have a look, but today I should step on it!
Ma Le thought so, and then drove to the next destination.
Come to the inner city once, in addition to seeing and knowing, Ma Le has a more important mission, just upgraded, the team is missing almost ten skills, some equipment also needs to be updated, the outside market can no longer meet the needs of a few people, naturally come to the market in the inner city to see the world!
According to the map given to him by Tong Qian, Ma Le came to the middle part of the inner city. Instead of an open-air plaza like the outer city, the inner city's market market is a hall of corridors where adventurers with goods to sell their goods no longer have their stalls on the spot, as in the Plaza de la Miracoli, but have fixed stalls. The whole hall is circular in shape, and along the edge of the hall, one after another elaborate and spacious stalls are formed next to each other, and finally exactly one circle around the hall, a total of a hundred.
If you want to set up a stall in the inner city, you have to rent a stall here, that is, there are only a hundred places in total, and there is no chance when it is full.
Of course, as a distribution center for trading, there are always people who want to sell and people who have needs to come to Taobao, and it is also allowed to trade privately around the stalls, but this kind of random trading by luck is much less efficient than the stalls where all the goods are displayed.
The price of renting a booth is also expensive, 500 points an hour, and thousands of points for a few hours.
However, the people who can enter the inner city are only senior or above, and there are only more than a thousand people in the entire Miracle City, of which there are only more than 100 elite levels, and the task cycle is also long, so there will always be something to shoot. Although there are many seniors, there are no treasures, and no one will spend more than 10,000 yuan to rent a stall in the inner city in vain, so most of the 100 stalls will usually be vacant.
Today, too, there are only more than 20 people in operation, and there are not many people in the market.
Ma Le walked around, and the stalls here are mainly seniors, and there are not many opportunities to meet good things, and there are really no suitable treasures.
Ma Le was a little disappointed, he thought that he would definitely get good things when he entered the inner city, but he didn't expect that he would be invited to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, which was too much worse than he imagined.
Seeing him frowning, a stall owner reminded: "Brother, but you didn't find good goods to worry about?" β
Ma Le raised his eyebrows: "Big brother has a way?" Hope for some pointers! β
The stall owner smiled: "It's not surprising that this stall is expensive, the entrance fee is high, and there are not many people patronizing it, why are there so many seniors coming here to set up stalls?" β
Ma Le frowned: "I'm really a little strange, more than 10,000 credits, it's used in such a deserted place, it's a bit of a loser!" β
"Hey, hey!" The stall owner smiled: "That's for sure, because our real purpose is not to sell goods here, but to ask for a transaction amount!" β
"Transaction volume?" Ma Le wondered, "What is this statement?" β
The stall owner pointed to his stall: "Well, if you buy something from me, you will naturally understand!" β
Ma Le frowned, and said in his heart that this thing won't be tricking me!
The stall owner saw his thoughts and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not here to sell your things, so ......" As he spoke, he took out a tube of life elixir and put it on the stall, "This thing is only worth 50 points, you can't lose anything if you buy it!" β
Ma Le bought the potion according to what the stall owner said, and when the transaction was completed, Ma Le found that he was prompted by the system, which showed that his monthly trading volume was 50 points
"What does that mean?" Ma Le frowned.
The stall owner smiled: "In the trading market in the inner city, as long as you buy and sell transactions from regular stalls, you will get a transaction amount equal to the transaction amount." And this transaction amount can be accumulated within this month, as long as you reach a certain amount, you can get a ticket to the ultimate market! β
"The ultimate market?" Ma Le is interested, this name sounds like a cow B!
The stall owner smiled: "The ultimate market is my name, and the formal name is the inter-city-state trading market, referred to as the intercity market!" There, adventurers from all city-states can enter and trade together under the same platform! β
"That's awesome!" Ma Le became excited: "So, how much quota do you need to enter this intercity market?" β
The stall owner smiled and gestured two fingers: "200,000, as long as you complete the transaction of 200,000 within a month, you can get a ticket to enter the intercity market on the penultimate day at the end of the month!" When the time comes, as long as you come here, you will see the portal to that ultimate market! β
Hearing the stall owner say this, Ma Le also yearned for it, and the stall owner smiled: "How about brother, my stall also has a lot of good goods, pick a few pleasing things to take away, so that you and I will increase the transaction volume, mutual benefit!" β
Ma Le looked at the stall owner, and sure enough, he was waiting for him here! There must be such a thing as transaction volume, and the intercity market is estimated to be eight (harmonious) nine is not far from ten, Ma Le has long guessed that so many adventurers from different city-states should have an opportunity to exchange transactions. But whether there is any actual relationship between the two, whether the stall owner used it to deceive himself into buying things, this is not necessarily!
However, Ma Le has his own method, he directly dialed the gnosis communication, this is a two-star reporter of the journalist association, this little information must not be hidden from her!
The gnostic first thanked Ma Le for the benefit fee, and after hearing Ma Le's question, he told him that what the stall owner said was basically true. Ma Le was relieved.
Looking at the goods put out by the stall owner, there was really nothing Ma Le particularly needed, but people kindly told him this information, and he always had to express that Ma Le rummaged around, picked a high-energy battery, which could be carried to charge some scientific and technological devices, and took some medicines, which cost a total of several thousand yuan.
Just as he was about to leave, Ma Le suddenly caught a glimpse of a purple spar placed in the corner of the stall, showing the reality of the attributes, this is a thunder source, which is a prop used to inherit and cultivate the magic power of the thunder attribute!
Seeing this thing, Ma Le's eyes lit up, and he pointed and asked, "How much is this?" β
The stall owner glanced at it and said with a smile: "What is the value of an energy enlightened prop, if you like it, take it with a thousand points!" β
Ma Le said in his heart, who is not a master above the senior level who comes here, where is there anyone who has not cultivated energy? Placed here purely refilled.
After getting Lei Yuan, Ma Le summoned the poison island: "Look at it, is this suitable for your cultivation?" β
