Chapter 18: The Hidden Secret in Values (Part 2)

I see, is it prepared?

There is never love for no reason in this world, the kindness between strangers is often limited, and it is not for nothing that people will enthusiastically introduce the role of this altar and the precautions when using it for people who do not know each other, but there are definitely not many, it is a minority of the few, an example of an example.

After all, every reservist sword-wielder here needs to run for his life, and who wants to waste their precious time on someone who is completely irrelevant?

Probably not.

The role of everyone here is the same, they are all struggling to survive, and no one has the spare time to care about the life and death of others, let alone the leisure time to guide their potential competitors into this grand race for survival.

- Resources are limited.

Special demons such as the Ghost Demon and Crassus's tentacles, even Amy is not easy to deal with, and they are all injured and injured endlessly under teamwork, not to mention those reserve sword wielders whose combat experience and combat qualities are far below him? Even if you fight as a team, the probability of the entire army being wiped out is still not small.

And the resources that weak demons like the Frost Giant and the Darkwalker can provide are extremely limited, even if they hunt three or five a day, I am afraid that it will only be enough for the team to barely survive, and the exchange of anti-erosion potions is far away.

Therefore, the only thing that can be relied on is the number of piles, three or five a day is not enough, six or seven, six or seven is not enough, eight or nineβ€”as long as this efficiency can be maintained, there is hope that it will hold out until the Order's rescue arrives.

Everyone, no, probably most people think so, right?

But alas, Amy Ulysses is not among them.

"Why did you find us," the young Gloryful One looked at the silver-haired boy in front of him, staring at his lilac eyes, "You don't know anything about our team, which has only been here for a long time. ”

"I'm ......," after a slight hesitation, Neil sighed, "There's no way out." ”

He opened his heart: "I'm sorry, I actually lied before, I was one of the first few people to arrive here, and when there were not many people gathered here, I could still rely on hunting to get enough points, but with the increase in the number of people and the formation of the team, weak demons like the Dark Walker are rare in the vicinity, coupled with the competition and suppression of some people with hearts, Lone Wanderers like me have almost lost the soil for survival." ”

"Then why don't you find a team to join," Amy didn't end her inquiry, "compared to those of us who don't know the roots, the first group of teams should be a better choice." ”

"There is a limit to the number of people a team can receive," the silver-haired and purple-eyed boy said the reason, "The main purpose of the team is to better hunt demons like frost giants that are difficult to defeat alone, usually a team of about three or five people is saturated, and more people will not only fail to improve the efficiency of hunting, but will lower the points that everyone can control - as for the more powerful special demons, even if there are seven or eight people, or a dozen or so, the risk is still beyond the scope of what can be tolerated, and almost no one will consider it." ”

"I see," the Gloryful One nodded, "I can't give you an answer yet, but if you don't mind, come back to me tomorrow and I'll tell you my answer at that time." ”

"That's it......" It's not the first time Neil has heard something like that, but it's still inevitably frustrating.

"Mind you, this is not a shirk. Amy, who realized that the other party had something to say, couldn't help but shake her head, "It's a promise - I just have some things that need to take a little time to sort out." ”

"Thank you," the silver-haired boy said earnestly, then bowed again, "Thank you very much." ”

"No thanks, I'm just planning for myself. The Glory One said indifferently and detachedly, then looked away, and glanced around the three companions beside him, "I plan to exchange the things I want to exchange now, and then spend the night sorting out the situation and sorting out my thoughts, what do you think?" ”

"No objections. ”

"No objections. ”

"No objections. ”

Whether it is his personal strength or clear thinking, it is enough to make Amy Ulysses a well-deserved speaker for this team, not to mention that he has a life-saving grace for each of these three companions.

"Then it's settled," said Amy, "with plenty of water and food, and a bottle of healingβ€”if we have enough points." ”

Healing potion, the Glorious is no stranger to this alchemical potion, very different from the description in the knights who are widely circulated among ordinary people, this potion is not used in battle, nor can it be taken internally, let alone restore a person's combat effectiveness in a short time - on the contrary, this peculiar potion is used after or before the battle, and is applied to the wound that has not yet healed, which can quickly accelerate the healing of wounds, scabs, and scabs, and is an alchemical potion that was widely welcomed by warriors in the era of pre-ancient kings.

Water and food are necessary, and healing potions will help them prepare for the battle in a better and better state.

- He is the most important, and all four of them have wounds.

It's just right for this time.

Although his wound could not be completely healed in just one night, after applying it, it should be able to scab over the next morning, and as long as it is not too fierce, the wound will not collapse a second or third time. What's more, alchemy potions are not consumables that can only be used once (although they are consumables), a bottle of healing potion can be used sparingly, and it will probably be able to control his injuries and that of everyone in the team, and there will be a third or more left.

"Do you need me to recuse myself?" asked Neil, already thinking that the exchange was a relatively personal matter, and it would be extremely rude and disgusting to look around before joining the team.

"No," Amy didn't think much of it, and after receiving the loot he had collected along the way from Corbock, his gaze rested slightly on the scales on the improvised altar, "Is this what you want to do here?"

"That's right. "Affirmative answer.

The young Gloryman gently put down the stardust left behind by the Ghost Demon and a few other valuable materials that had been deliberately retained, and then, as Neil had said, a curtain of light appeared in front of him.

"Stardust 10 grams - 120 points. ”

"3 Rip Beast's teeth - 15 points. ”

"Christie's poison ivy 1 – 10 points. ”

"2 Poison Worms of the Crypt Eater - 30 points. ”

Rushing all the way from the edge of the city, their harvest is not small, but they have not deliberately collected the materials on the demons before, so in the end, only these are the ones that remain, only these are easy to carry, and have a certain retention value.

"One hundred and seventy-five points in total," Amy pressed the "OK" button on the light curtain, dragging the list of goods with her fingers, and her eyes swept over one by one familiar or unfamiliar items, "Four points for one unit of dry food, three points for one unit of drinking water, twenty points for the Order's standard broadsword, and twenty-five points for the crossbow, interesting...... It's so interesting to set this value. ”

The corners of his mouth vaguely outlined an arc.

"What's interesting?" asked Aina, frowning.

"A lot of places are interesting," the Glory One didn't intend to open up the subject here, "I'll talk to you in the evening when we recuperate." ”

But as you could tell from his face, he was happy.

"Water and food for four people for five days...... Can't afford it. "One person has seven points a day, and four people have to spend twenty-eight points a day just to make ends meet," can I only buy two days' worth of water and food for the time being? ”

Sixty-eight points are spent here, plus a healing potion, and the transaction fee.

A total of 169 points, with six points remaining.

There was no heartache, Amy clicked on the light curtain to confirm the payment quite happily - this deal was reached, and with a flash of white light, several large and small packages appeared on the scale that originally contained the demon materials, drinking water, dry food, and potions, all the same no more, no less, neatly listed on it.

"It's amazing. Hansen sighed heartily.

"Otherwise, how could it be called weird. ”

The boy from Hemtika said in a rather strange tone, but unfortunately, everyone present did not pay attention to his obviously wrong tone, and just nodded his head as a matter of course.

Seeing this, he naturally did not say some meaningless words that were not convincing.

"By the way," the Glory-Honoring One digressed, "Neil, do you have any quartz watches or other time-definite props? I'd like to make sure we meet tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. ”

"How about eight o'clock in the morning? ”

"No problem. ”

With a serious imbalance between supply and demand, Chesterton's silver-haired teenager couldn't afford to ask for much.

"Then it's decided," the time on the quartz watch is seven o'clock - it is estimated that it should be seven o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still a considerable amount of time until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, so it is a good time to talk to them and clarify the course of action after that, so as not to plant a wedge of team division because of what follows, "See you tomorrow." ”

In fact, he already has arrangements for the teenager he just met, but there are still some things to take care of.

After all...... The plan he conceived was big, big......

Maybe it will alarm the people above.

"Goodbye. ”

Neil watched them leave, and the boy had no idea what kind of waves he and his newly acquainted teammates would make in this dead city in the near future......

No, it should be stormy seas.
