Chapter 005: When the money is used, there is less hatred

Obviously, even if the Red Soul Stone is really priceless, but the unit price is 100 universal points, this price is too expensive, so expensive that it is no different from robbery, and no one will pay for it.

The stall also comes with a customer message function, so just 3 minutes later, Su Hao received 3 customer messages through the Nightmare Mark:

"You're the damn Charlotte! Abagon! Grande! Pryushkin! You should guard your poor 1 unit of Red Soul Stone and hang yourself in front of the Doge's Palace in Venice! ”

"You don't have an asshole when you give birth, oh yes, maybe you can't get a woman pregnant."

"Keep your Red Soul Stone and buy yourself a coffin!"

These messages are all real market feedback, and there is strong dissatisfaction between the lines, obviously Su Hao's price for the Red Soul Stone is too high.

But this kind of fierce feedback also confirms the value of the Red Soul Stone, yes, this thing does have a price.

So he remotely controlled the booth through the Nightmare Mark, and wrote a booth announcement in a prominent position:

"If you don't have a common point, bartering is also supported. I need enough energy crystals, corpses of powerful creatures, potions, etc... For items such as these, high rarity and high quality are preferred. ”

"If you have it, please upload the parameter information to me, thank you."

After writing the booth announcement, Su Hao temporarily blocked the message reminder function of the Nightmare Mark, and then went to the nearest restaurant, ready to fill his stomach.

Compared with the restaurants on Earth, the decoration style of the restaurants in the Nightmare Capital is extremely simple, cold and rigid, the whole is like being welded with silver-white steel plates, which is full of oppression, but the dishes on display are extremely rich and dazzling, each of which looks good and makes people appetite.

The beautiful waitress sitting at the front desk with beautiful makeup was looking in the mirror, and when she saw a customer coming to the door, she immediately put on a professional smile and said gently:

"Welcome."

She then introduced the various dishes in a sweet voice, boasting about their deliciousness and nutritional value.

Su Hao glanced at the hostess's pretty little face and couldn't help but smile. This girl is obviously a contractor who works here, and the reason why she is trying to sell these gorgeous dishes is probably because of the commission.

Su Hao looked around, filtered countless various dishes with very low cost performance, and finally found the [nutrients] that the waitress didn't mention in an inconspicuous corner.

【Standard Nutrients (3-Day Dose)】

[Introduction: The standard formula of nutrients in the Nightmare Space provides all the nutrients needed by the contractor.] 】

[Price: 90 universal points.] 】

[Rarity: Blue.] 】

[Quality: Excellent.] 】

[How to use: Eat it.] 】

[Effect: Provides all the nutrients needed within 72 hours.] 】

[Rating: It's best to mix it with water, sugar or salt, because it's really hard to eat!] 】

Note: This item can only be used in Nightmare Capital.

Although Su Hao is a newcomer, he still has eyesight. In restaurants, nutrients are the most cost-effective food, filling, and relatively inexpensive, the only drawback is... It's so unpalatable.

And those dishes are actually just nutrients with different skin and flavor, and the reason why they are more expensive is because they look better and taste better.

Of course, there's more to the Nightmare Capital than just restaurants. With pots and pans and ingredients, the cost of a meal will not exceed 3 universal points, the taste will be better, and the cost performance will be higher.

Although it is a very simple truth, the novice contractor has just entered the nightmare space, knows nothing about everything here, and subconsciously still thinks that everything he needs can only be exchanged for the equivalent of the price given by the nightmare capital, how can he realize that he can cook with his own hands?

Seeing that Su Hao chose nutrients, the waitress stopped talking abruptly, and her attitude became cold. She could see that this guy was a pragmatist, and he wouldn't buy expensive dishes no matter how much he tried to sell them.

Su Hao looked at the white powdered nutrients in the test tube, and then glanced at the drinking water with a price of 1 universal point/bottle, and 1 general point/small bag of granulated sugar, hesitated, and decided to leave the restaurant.

Thrift was one of the reasons, and the other reason was that he was not sure if the mixing of water and sugar would destroy the composition structure of the nutrients, resulting in a decrease in the effect.

After leaving the restaurant, Su Hao took out the strength to take Chinese medicine when he was 6 years old, and he didn't chew it, and swallowed it directly.

Really... It was a very bitter taste, like the feeling of calculus touching the tongue coating after scaling, which was disgusting.

Although the taste was very poor, after eating the nutrients, Su Hao immediately found that his hunger suddenly disappeared, and his whole body was full of vitality, and the effect was immediate.

But immediately, Su Hao realized that he was facing a grim truth, that is: in the nightmare space, if you only eat nutrients, you will have to spend at least 900 universal points every month!

Su Hao finally realized first-hand what it means to "hate less money when it is used".

After filling his stomach, Su Hao summed up his situation, and he found that he was facing two choices:

1. Work part-time.

2. Training.

He decisively chose the second option.

The reason is very simple, as a novice contractor, it is difficult for Su Hao to find a job, even if he can find a job, I am afraid that the remuneration is very low, 200 points a month, he can't even afford nutrients, and the harvest is not proportional to the pay.

Su Hao felt that the positioning of the contractor in the Nightmare Space was not a laborer, but an adventurer and a warrior, so strength was what the contractor needed most.

During this one-month stay in Nightmare Space, instead of working hard every day to earn a pitiful salary, it is better to work hard to improve your strength, so that in the next adventure, you can get more rewards through better performance.

The experience of Devil May Cry World taught Su Hao that the rewards for taking risks were much more generous than the salary earned part-time in the Nightmare Capital.

He walked into the training ground, looked at the dazzling training programs above the hall, thought for a long time, and decided to make a training plan for himself based on his own situation.

Specializes in training your own perks [Basic Melee] and [Basic Ranged Combat], as well as [Strength], [Stamina] and [Agility] attributes.

These trainings last for 24 days

The remaining 6 days are the margin deliberately vacated by Su Hao to deal with temporary emergencies that may occur.

The first thing to start with is melee training.

It must be admitted that the training ground in the Nightmare Capital is very advanced, far beyond the highest technological level on the earth, because Su Hao clearly saw that in the darkness, countless rays condensed into a tall shadow projection, eye-catching, brilliant, and real.

It's hard to believe, but this projection can indeed be described as "real". He spoke standard Mandarin, explained the theoretical knowledge and essentials of [Basic Melee Combat], answered the questions raised by Su Hao, and had a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Su Hao after the oral course.

This high-intensity fight lasted for three hours before it came to an end for the time being. According to past experience, Su Hao should have replenished carbohydrates and water at least 3 times during the period, but he did not, except for fatigue, he did not even feel thirsty and hungry at all.

Su Hao was puzzled by this, and suddenly came to his senses... This is probably the role of [nutrients]. Although nutrients are more expensive than ordinary food, they can provide users with all the nutrients they need within 72 hours, so even if there is a fierce battle during Su Hao, there is no need to worry about nutritional deficiencies.

Ordinary meals, on the other hand, simply can't do that.

This means that nutrients should go hand in hand with intense training, and in everyday situations, you only need to eat normally, even when you are hungry.

The 3 days quickly passed in the process of training, and the persistent effort also turned into the experience points that rose little by little in the specialty experience bar, and finally reached 100%.

The Nightmare Mark prompts:

"Your perk [Basic Melee] has been increased to LV4!"

"Your specialty [Basic Melee LV4] has reached its limit, and you can no longer be promoted through normal training."

Seeing that his long-term efforts had finally paid off, Su Hao was overjoyed, but also noticed that he had received more than 300 customer messages, all of which were about the Red Soul Stone.

Su Hao opened the message panel and quickly browsed each message. He quickly deleted the abusive, sarcastic, and irrational comments, then filtered out fifty messages with their own quotes, and finally narrowed down the scope to 3 of them.

Message 1:

"Friend, you're a newbie, aren't you? I think you need this more than pet rations..."

【Combat Skill Column Expansion Scroll (White)】

[Introduction: An ordinary scroll that expands the contractor's combat skill column.] 】

[Rarity: White.] 】

[Quality: Normal.] 】

[How to use: Browse for 1 minute (whether you can read it or not). 】

[Number of uses: 1.] 】

[Effect: Expand your combat skill slots from 3 to 4.] 】

[Rating: Who doesn't want to learn more skills?!] 】

Note: You can't use it to expand the 5th Combat Skill slot.

The skill bar expansion scroll is a good thing, but it is not what Su Hao needs most at the moment, what Su Hao needs is instant combat power, not potential.

Now Su Hao hasn't learned any combat skills, and the 3 combat skill slots can't be filled, so what's the use of expanding the 4th vacancy?

He moved his gaze to the next message.

Message 2:

"Child, as an elder, I want to teach you some life lessons, that is, the power of the collective is greater than everything!"

"Since you have to rely on the collective, you should know that verbal agreements are fragile, and only contracts on paper can forge an iron alliance!"

"So, you need this..."

【Hunter's Contract】

[Description: Picked up from Romania and found by the inhabitants of Transylvania, it is rumored to be the relic of a vampire hunter who died in battle, and there are still stains of blood on it.] 】

[Rarity: White.] 】

[Quality: Normal.] 】

[How to use: Signature]

[Effect: All contractors who sign the Hunter Contract will become a member of the team.] 】

[Maximum group size: 3 people (cannot be expanded)] 】

[Evaluation: Only by signing a contract can you exchange for real trust.] 】

Team... Is it?

Su Hao hesitated for a moment, and also passed this message.

As a necessity for setting up a team, the hunter contract is also a very useful item, but at this stage, Su Hao has no idea of forming a team.

There are three reasons for this. The first is that there are no teammates who are really trustworthy, the second is that what Su Hao really needs is instant combat power, and the third is that this thing can only accommodate 3 members, and it can't be expanded, so it really has limited potential.

Su Hao looked at the third message:

"You need good pet rations, and it looks like you've got a beloved pet that's hard to feed, right?"

"In that case, as long as you can provide enough Red Soul Stones, then I can help you solve this problem once and for all. Look at this thing. ”

A moving picture of an item attached to the back... It was a bright red heart the size of a human head, with a vine-shaped bone marrow entwined around it, held in a custom-made glass bucket, still beating at a slow but constant rate.

Here's the information about the item:

[The bone marrow and heart of Hannibal the ogre (hereinafter referred to as Hannibal's heart)]

[Introduction: The heart of Hannibal, a non-famous ogre gourmet, is wrapped around a strong bone marrow, which is full of activity and is full of activity, and it still continuously pumps blood outward. 】

[Rarity: Blue.] 】

[Quality: Excellent.] 】

[Special Ability - Ogre's Blood: Not only is this heart vibrant, but the bone marrow connected to it still maintains a good hematopoietic ability. Every 24 hours, pump 30 units of at least normal Hannibal's blood. 】

[Evaluation: I don't think anyone really likes this taste except for heavy taste and old perverts, right?] 】
