Chapter 5: The Mysterious Merchant
Mystery Merchant (Neutral Faction), Level ??? Attribute??? Skill??? , Introduction: Merchants who appear randomly in the wild or towns, the most mysterious smugglers on the continent, sell items that can't be bought in ordinary stores at low prices, and have a certain chance of rare items, skill books, and skill scroll items.
From getting A-level skills on the Jiangcheng Bridge to meeting a mysterious merchant at the bus station, all of them are in Zhang Mujihua, preparing for creating greater advantages in the early stage
The Mystery Merchant is a very important part of the process, and his whereabouts will appear anywhere, staying for no more than six hours at a time, and the probability of encountering it is lower than buying a lottery ticket to win the lottery. But the first place to appear was the bus station.
Zhang Mu dragged the fat man with weak legs and walked to the mysterious businessman. He sat in a black van, four meters high, made of metal, completely black, and very badly worn.
"Warriors of the other world, your luck is good, you actually killed me in such a place!" The mystery merchant's voice was hoarse and heavy, and he jumped out of the car and continued, "Welcome to the mystery shop, our goods are of good quality and low price, and we guarantee your satisfaction. ”
Zhang Mu nodded: "Let me see first, what commodities are available." ”
The mysterious merchant turned around and kicked the truck and shouted, "Hey, guy inside, there's business coming to the door!" "The wagon was opened, and a long shelf was pushed out, hanging more than twenty different items, all different goods.

……
There are more than 20 items of intelligence, equipment, enhancement scrolls, and skill books, but most of them are priced at more than a few hundred gold coins, and players absolutely cannot afford to spend them at this stage.
After reading it, Zhang Mu said, "I want to make a deal with you." ”
The mysterious merchant said, "Is there anything you like?" ”
Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "You should understand that at this stage, we can't afford anything at all. ”
The mystery merchant smiled: "Oh, so what business do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Mu said: "Lend me 50 gold coins, at most two hours, double the return." ”
"After many years of walking on the mainland, it is the first time that someone has borrowed gold coins from me."
Zhang Mu said: "You are a businessman, you put profit first, and this deal is very cost-effective. ”
"Interesting people." The mysterious merchant glanced Zhang Mu up and down, "Although it is not allowed in principle, you look different, I can make an exception." But the conditions need to be changed, I'll lend you 50 gold coins, and after two hours, I will pay back 200 gold coins. ”

――――
Zhang Mu got 50 gold coins, and the dog man machete was sold, and he got another 15 gold coins, and now there are 69 gold coins in total.
Spend 10 gold coins to purchase a [F-rank Monster Handbook].
Spend 50 gold to purchase a [Post (6 hours)].
Zhang Mu concentrated all his energy, only to see a miniature version of Zhang Mu appear in his consciousness, various attributes and states are displayed on the side, and there are multiple options around the character information, namely [Backpack], [Task], [Guild], [Team], [Forum], enter the forum, which is blank, and there is nothing.
Posts bought from the Mystery Shop are used to create posts on the forum.
Zhang Mu pondered for a moment and immediately wrote in the post:
"Whether it's a wealthy and powerful official, or a glamorous and high-profile celebrity, from the moment the game opens, it all comes to naught! So, let go of the glory or filth of the past, and let go of the pride or inferiority of the past! At this moment, all living beings stand on the same starting line, only the truly strong can obtain the right to live, and the weak can only choose the fate of being eliminated and enslaved, life and death, strong and weak...... Please believe that this is the real Shijie apocalypse, but it is not the end of humanity. ”
"In addition, I would like to tell you an unfortunate thing, we are no longer familiar with the earth, it may be absurd, but it is true, outside the city of Jiangcheng has become a forest. Yes, we came to another shijie, we are isolated, there will be no more rescue, there will be no more army, there will be no more government...... Jiangcheng is the lowest area in this map, the monster level is within level 1-3, in fact, as long as you overcome fear, good haode use wisdom, low-level monsters are not invincible! ”
"Surely, you might choose to hide somewhere where there's plenty of food? This is impossible, the system will issue the task shortly after, with mandatory, the failure of the task, will be obliterated by the system......"
"This is a monster material below level 10.,Including monsters' habits and weaknesses.、Attribute information、Skill information, etc.,It's important survival information.,Please pay attention to it!"
"There will be a fee of 1 gold coin for reading."
Zhang Mu copied the information in the monster manual, and this part set a fee, charging 1 gold coin per person. The Monster Handbook contains detailed information on all monsters below level 10, with a total of more than 1,000 species.
With a population of nearly four million, most of them will die within 24 hours of the disaster, about 1 in 10 will survive, and 1 in 5 of the survivors will be qualified within the first 12 hours. In other words, nearly 80,000 players qualified in 12 hours.
This is a very important piece of information that definitely has the ability to rewrite history.
Summing up the lessons of defeat in memory, the biggest reason why human zuihou will lose is that there are too many people who died in the early stage, and secondly, there is a lot of internal strife and turmoil between the human races in the middle stage, and all parties shili go their own way, so that the already small number of survivors kill each other and cannot concentrate liliang, which leads to the result of the destruction of all.
Since you have done it all over again, you can't repeat the mistakes of the past, and use the known information to seek the greatest benefits, but this is not a one-person game, Zhang Mu must let more people survive and strengthen the overall liliang of the Terran camp!
An important information covering all the monsters at this stage was announced, which is crucial for people's survival in the early stage, and at the same time, it will establish a solid prestige for Zhang Mu, making him a celebrity on the map of the entire region!
Zhang Mu used the wooden man as the ID of the forum and sent out the post.
"Tip: If the post is successfully established, it will be automatically cleared after six hours!"
"Hint: The first poster on this map will receive 300 reputation points!"
"Hint: The first post is successfully established, and the whole picture is announced!"
When the fat man heard the system announcement, he showed surprise: "There is a forum function, and the wooden man who posted the post is the boss, right?" ”
Zhang Mu sat down and waited, the monster was still roaring outside the iron gate, but within 100 meters of the mysterious merchant, no monster could get close, and before the mysterious merchant left, the two were absolutely safe. The relationship between the system announcement, the player was informed of the post for the first time, and the number of views reached more than 1,000 in an instant, and the total number of players in the city was not much higher than the number by visual inspection.
In about 2 minutes, the first payer appears and earns the first coin.
After 5 minutes, there was an explosion of the payout, reaching 160 in an instant.
After 10 minutes, the number of payments gradually stabilized to 180.
After 30 minutes, the number exceeded 200.
Zhang Mu clenched his fists, very good, the income rate was much faster than expected, and he handed over 200 gold coins to the mysterious merchant.
"Mission accomplished!"
"Mystery Merchant's opinion +20, opinion increased to 20. Relationship Change: Neutral→ Normal. ”
From now on, the income of every gold coin is all Zhang Mu's personal wealth.
The amount of payments continues to grow, and as the number of players continues to increase, more players fight monsters to earn coins, and the growth rate is steadily increasing.
1 hour, 150 gold.
2 hours, 400 gold.
3 hours, 590 gold.
4 hours, 950 gold
Over the past 5 hours, 1,200 gold coins have entered the backpack.
Even after a month or two, 1,200 was a lot of money, and 1,400 people paid to read the previous 200 paid posts that recorded a lot of monster information. People usually don't act alone, it's enough for one person in a group to pay and get four or five times as many people to share information as they pay!
The mysterious merchant left in about twenty minutes.
[Area Map Booklet], 100 gold!
[F+ Skill Book: Assassination], 300 gold!
[F-level Skill Book: Speed Skating], 200 gold!
Buy the most important skill book and map first, a total of 500 gold.
[LV1 Skill Improvement Scroll], 400 gold!
Skill scrolls upgrade skills, which is an extremely important thing, and costs a total of 900 gold.
There are a lot of good things in the Mystery Shop, but the time is too limited to collect more gold coins, so you can only pick the most useful things to sell. After buying the skill book, skill scroll, and map, Zhang Mu bought the remaining [post] in the store. If you don't have the money, you can quickly earn a lot of money by using the same method.
Zuihou 203 gold coins, Zhang Mu used it on equipment.
[Iron Short Sword] (Normal Black Iron Weapon), Attack +8, Sharpness +1, Durability 20\20. Priced at 80 gold!
[Iron Two Hand Axe] (Normal Black Iron Weapon), Attack +14, Attack Speed -10%, Durability 20\20. Priced at 110 gold!
Although it is also black iron level equipment, ordinary black iron equipment is much better than inferior black iron equipment. Zhang Mu equipped the short sword, and gave the two-handed axe to the fat man.
