Chapter 139: The Man of Fate
Chapter 139: The Man of Fate
"Excuse me, is Central Park in that direction?"
On a street corner, a woman in a long white coat with a map in her hand whispered directions, pointing her in the right direction.
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie." The woman habitually bowed, but she remembered that Su Jing had asked her to bow less to others, and it was better to learn to be more confident and arrogant...... Next time, she thought, she might just need to nod her head......
Standing in the heart of Manhattan, New York's Central Park covers more than 5,000 acres and is the largest urban park in New York. After many negotiations with the government, the adventurers transformed it into a gathering place for adventurers. The overall greenery and decoration have not changed, and citizens can still come here to play, but there are often many adventurers of different shapes and shapes here.
When this policy was first introduced, some citizens took to the streets to protest, but they did not know what benefits the adventurers gave to the municipal authorities, so they simply blocked the pressure of the citizens and forcibly passed this regulation.
After walking alone in the tree-lined park for dozens of minutes, Sadako Yamamura sincerely felt comfortable and at ease. The modern metropolis is a near-future sci-fi world for her, but she forced herself to adapt, and then she soon discovered the joy of modern life, but there was still a lot to get used to......
In front of you is one of Central Park's most famous views, the Bishida Fountain. In the small square around the fountain, dozens of adventurers are setting up stalls to sell their wares. Some people sit directly on the ground, others occupy the surrounding benches, and some people directly take out a mechanism that they don't know what it is and use it as a stool.
Sadako Yamamura cautiously looked all the way over, there were many strange things she didn't know what the use of the road was, and these adventurers were bored one by one, and they couldn't wait to lie here and fall asleep. Maybe it's because today's business is relatively cold, someone comes to patronize the business, and it's a beauty whose appearance is far above the average, and these people are all in spirit.
"Hey, this young lady! Check it out here! Oriental Health Martial Arts Cultivation Cheats! Try it for free! Good for body and skin! β
"Laser cutting gun! Clear the dead space, the perfect firearm with full attributes! Not only can it be used for mining, but it can also be used to deal with monsters - one shot, boom - to clear a large area! The pleasure of cutting wheat! It is most suitable for a gentle and demure person like you, Miss! β
"Frost's Sorrow is genuine! Enchantment +5 Sharp Edge! Soak up life! Absorb the soul! β
"Hehe, why don't you use it yourself, I'm afraid the curse on it hasn't been cleaned up yet. Miss, please come here to see, the original Star Wars World Lightsaber can be used even if you don't have the Force. At the touch of a button, it's invincible! What kind of shit frost sorrow, dare to fight with me?! β
"What are you farting! Your lightsaber is a plasma shaping bound by a force field, and the mass-produced goods that are available everywhere, can it be compared to me, a rare divine weapon of the world realm? Come on! Who's afraid of whom! β
The two adventurers quarreled as they spoke, rubbing their sleeves at each other and preparing to get started. Sadako Yamamura found the thinking of these people simply incomprehensible, and at this time, she saw a man sitting on the bench in front of her, covered in a gray robe, with a large book on his lap. With bundles of paper rolls and large bottles of potion in front of her, Sadako, who wanted to avoid the dispute, immediately walked over.
When she squeezed down to check, she realized that in the cloak in front of her was a beautiful woman, who looked about the same age as Sadako Yamamura...... Maybe a year or two older. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, making her originally gentle features look heroic. She was turning the pages, engrossed in the knowledge on the pages, her mouth whispering.
Sadako Yamamura noticed that there were ten paper rolls on the stall, and each bundle had a paper roll label on it, "Fireball Technique", "Cow Brute Force", "Cat Elegance", "Bear Patience...... It's all the names of some spells.
"A bundle of 500 universal points. No counteroffer. β
The woman's peaceful voice came from under the cloak. She closed the large book on her lap and placed it in a metal case. Sadako Yamamura notices that the book is tied to the belt around her waist with a thick copper chain. Under the gray robe outside, the woman who looked like a mage was dressed very modernly, with a white sweater and gray trousers wrapping her slender figure, but the belt looked particularly tough, exuding a force that seemed to be absent, and there were many small compartments on it, with a scroll inserted, and on the other side of the waist, on the other side of the book, there was a short staff about twenty centimeters long.
As if noticing Sadako Yamamura looking at the inside of her robe, the woman raised her eyebrows and wrapped the gray robe tighter. As she pulled over her robe, Sadako Yamamura noticed that there were small pockets on the inside of her robe, which seemed to contain a lot of things.
"Hmm...... Belch...... I'm a new adventurer, so I don't know what I should buy...... I don't have much money......" After thinking about it for a moment, Sadako Yamamura decided to tell the truth.
"Well, it's fine." The female mage's expression slackened a little, she thought for a moment, and then began to say, "Don't be nervous, it's all like this...... To be honest, I'm also a new adventurer, and before that, I was just an ordinary college student...... In this way, I will give you an idea, no matter what you buy, the most important thing is still in line with your current needs, your weakest point. What are your weaknesses? What are you missing? Think about this clearly, and then buy something, it doesn't meet your needs, no matter how good it is, you don't want to look at it. β
"Uh...... I, my body is fragile, and I die easily? Sadako Yamamura thought for a moment, "Then, my main ability is mental ability, so how should I choose something that suits me?" β
The mage glared at her for two seconds, then put her hand on her forehead and sighed, "You don't need to be so honest. Although the atmosphere among adventurers is generally peaceful now, there are some ...... Villain. If I'm an adventurer who likes to kill and grab treasures, you're in danger...... Knowing the other party's abilities and the weaknesses of the other party, as long as you design it a little, it is very easy to kill you. β
"Uh...... Sorry ......"
"Why do you want to say sorry to me...... "The female mage picked out a bundle of fireball scrolls from the pile of scrolls and placed them in front of her, "The plastic energy system is a two-ring spell, the simplest fireball spell." 50 points a piece, tear it open and use, convenient and fast, and the power is moderate. A five-foot diameter fireball that can move at a speed of thirty feet per second under the control of your mind. Basically, you can kill normal animals in one hit...... Let's say a person. If you don't die, you're almost paralyzed, and you can solve it with one more stab. If the enemy is the kind of one that can't be handled, just tear a few more, such as putting twenty or thirty fireballs in one go, and basically those below five stars will run out of gas. β
"Uh......"
"Fifty universal points for one, if it is ten or ten to buy, you can get a nine-percent discount. The more you buy, the more discounts, I have more than 80 tickets here, how many are you going to buy? β
"Ten...... Ten of them. β
"Four hundred and fifty points, Chenghui."
Sadako Yamamura shook hands with her under her guidance, and then the transaction channel between the character cards was opened. After delivering the four hundred and fifty universal points, Sadako Yamamura had an extra item card in her arms:
γConsumable Cards, Disposable Spell Scrollsγ
[This product is in the trial phase.] After the Plane Merchant Guild submits the application, all consumables must be reviewed by the World Realm Hub before they can be allowed to circulate in various planes. γ
"It's convenient for those of us who sell things." The female mage explained, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be very troublesome to buy a scroll and have to use prop cards to seal it one by one?" Currently, only scroll materials with more than seven rings need to be sealed with item cards...... Other ......"
She gestured indifferently.
"Uh, thank you. Thank you for your help. Sadako Yamamura was glad to have met a kind person today, she stood up and nodded, then turned to look for the next stall.
Looking at her back, a smile appeared on the corner of the female mage's mouth. She pulled out a cigarette case from the inside of her gray cloak, pulled out a slender lady's cigarette and put it in her mouth, then lit the cigarette in her mouth with a pinch of flame with two fingers.
After exhaling a long puff of smoke, she took out the large book again, then drew a black pen and wrote solemnly on one of the pages:
[Sadako Yamamura: Spiritual power adventurer. The main body is relatively fragile and does not have a powerful means of attack. The weakness is to trust others, and I don't know much about this world at present. γ
"Tsk, I don't know who brought her out of that movie...... Such a fragile girl, want to live in this world......" The pen in her hand paused for a moment, and then continued to write, although I don't know if this information will be useful for a day, but she still habitually collects all the information she has gathered. information about others, and weaknesses......
All judgments are based on the information obtained. She has always believed so. It was this habit of constantly collecting information, coupled with her courage and strategy to take the initiative, that allowed her to survive in this world. The collection and updating of information, continuous reasoning, and efforts to promote the ......
She didn't see that a man and a woman were walking this way, and they quickly joined Sadako Yamamura, and the three of them left the place. When she looked up, there was no Sadako Yamamura in the park.
ββββββββββββββ
"What did you buy?"
"Uh...... It took four hundred and fifty points to buy a bundle of fireball scrolls. Sadako Yamamura took out the temporary prop card and handed it to Su Jing. Su Jing glanced at it, the expression on his face remained unchanged, this thing is honest, it is very chicken. If Sadako Yamamura had taken the risk alone, there might have been some supplemental effects, but now that she has formed a team with herself, many times she only needs to act as an attacker herself. But...... It's not too bad, you can give her a protective use.
What intrigued him even more was the information revealed in this item card. The connection between the Plane Merchant Guild and the Hub of the World Realm...... Could it be that these organizations have direct access to the highest level of the entire heavenly game, the will that created the game? Or are all the adventurers actually part of the game's self-reinventing mechanics?
"Very discerning." Su Jing handed the card to her, "I'll find something to build a set of power armor for you, don't worry, with the new stand-in ability, this thing will be done quickly." β
"Power armor?" Gai Qi slowly turned his head and stared at Su Jing.
"Okay, okay, I see what you mean, don't look at me like that......"
After returning to the base of the Technology Alliance in the Avengers Building, Su Jing checked his authority within the guild.
The internal power structure of the Techno-Consortium is actually quite simple. The five directors decide all the general directions and internal policies, and the one responsible for the management of internal personnel and the circulation of transactions is the "second main god" of artificial intelligence developed by director Meng Shenji. Below, there are the heads of various research departments, and first, second, and third level researchers. Usually, a research project is established by appointing a project director, and the number of researchers under his command depends on his ability to recruit talents.
In addition to researchers, those who travel through various planes and are responsible for "hunting techniques" are field personnel, and their classification is first, second, and third level field personnel.
Perhaps because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of New York before, Su Jing found that he had been promoted from a third-level field worker to a second-level field officer, and he had the right to choose a welfare apartment of about 100 square meters in the residential area.
In this case, Su Jing applied for an apartment. For the next thirty days, he decided to spend the next 30 days in his apartment. After gaining the ability, he has a lot of ideas that he can't achieve before, not only to make power armor, but also to make his own geomagnetic detection system, Gage's gravity generator, and the testing of various alloys...... Everything awaits his development.
He still doesn't know that in thirty days, he will have the first important fate point in his adventure.
