Chapter 4 Bartering
At this time, a delicate gift box appeared in Rorschach's field of vision, with a girly blue bow on it.
[Do you want to open the luxury gift package for the newlyweds?] γ
"Open the pack!"
Rorschach said juicyly.
"Bang!"
The gift box bursts open, and streamers float out of it.
[CONGRATULATIONS ON OBTAINING: DAMASCENS KNIFE (BLUE), PHASE 1 LIGHT RUNE, POWER RESERVE INCREASED BY 50 POINTS, LUBE 10ML.] γ
In Rorschach's hand, a steel knife with a nice texture appeared, as well as two strange characters glowing with white light, suspended in the air.
[Item: Damascus Knife]
γType: Knifeγ
[Level: Phase 1]
[Quality: Blue]
[Note: For a long time in the past, the unique smelting technology and forging method of Damascus knives have been the technical secrets of the Persians, and they are not known to the outside world, and the demonic pattern is simply a symbol of sharpness and preciousness. γ
The body of the Damascus knife is covered with beautiful patterns like flowing water, and it is very textured to hold in the hand.
Rorschach waved it casually, and it felt good.
The Damascus knife also comes with a beautiful wooden scabbard that can be hung on the waist for easy portability, which Rorschach loves.
After putting away the Damascus knife, he held up the rune and looked at it in front of him.
An ancient hieroglyph floated in the palm of the hand, bursts of soft white light emanating from the characters.
This is an ancient hieroglyph, not difficult to recognize, it is the word "light", the light of the single.
[Phase 1 Light Rune: Fuse it on any light prop to give it a certain effect of dispelling the mist.] γ
It turns out that this is the role of runes, similar to the inscription gems in the game, which can increase certain attributes.
As for the lubricating oil... what the hell??
Also, what does the third reward, a 50-point increase in power reserves, mean?
No physical objects were seen, and the system did not explain it.
Rorschach didn't understand what the power reserve was for a while, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
After repairing the gate, Rorschach checked the surveillance, and there was no other danger outside.
The ghost-faced locusts weren't interested in Rorschach, they seemed to prefer to nibble on the iron gates, which gave Rorschach a headache, but there was nothing they could do.
Rorschach quietly opened the electric iron door and cautiously poked his head out.
Outside, a giant corpse with eight forks on its backs and bones came into view.
γGiant Body No. 18 Corpseγ
[Quality: Phase 1]
γDecomposableγ
"This can also be broken down? Isn't it a takeaway delivered to your door?! β
Rorschach didn't hesitate and quickly dragged the giant's corpse into the supermarket.
Don't look at this thing to look scary, there is not much meat on the body, just a thin skin wrapped around the skeleton, and it doesn't take much effort to carry it in your hand.
It is estimated to be about 60 kilograms.
After hurriedly closing the iron door with a remote control, Rorschach began to disassemble the giant's corpse.
[Duration: 10 minutes]
[Decomposition or not]
Two lines of pitch-black handwriting emerge.
It seems that the more complex things are, the longer it will take to decompose.
"Decompose!"
Rorschach said without thinking.
[Decomposing, please wait.] γ
During decomposition, Rorschach's hands must not leave the giant's corpse, otherwise it will be considered to have abandoned the decomposition.
So during this period, Rorschach couldn't do anything else, but could only check the "Player Communication Center" to check the latest news.
β―β―
Ten minutes later, there was a noise from the system.
γDing! γ
[Obtain 1 bone of Giant Body No. 18!] γ
[Obtain 5 pieces of meat from Giant Body No. 18!] γ
[Obtain 1 raw tendon of Giant Body No. 18!] γ
[Obtain 1 primary magic crystal!] γ
β―β―
Lines of handwriting emerge, and all the materials that have been broken down are included in Rorschach's personal package.
Rorschach showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect to get so many things, and checked them one by one at the moment.
[The bones of Giant Body No. 18: One word, very hard!] γ
[Giant body No. 18 meat: sour and astringent meat that is easy to stuff teeth, can only be used as the last choice. γ
[Giant's No. 18's raw tendons: Extremely tough, can be used to make bowstrings for bows and arrows.] γ
[First-Order Magic Crystal: A crystal containing magic energy, which has many functions. γ
His intuition told Rorschach that the best thing was the size of a pigeon's egg, crystal clear as a crystal, of the pile of things that had been decomposed, although he didn't know what it would be used for for the time being.
After disassembling the giants, Rorschach opened the player communication center and looked at it.
At this time, people are communicating with each other and exchanging information in the player communication center.
[Have you entered the fog to investigate?] I'm about 100 meters in now, I seem to hear someone whispering, do I want to continue? γ
[It's terrible, I stayed in the house and didn't dare to go out, the windows are full of ghost-faced locusts,, my glass window is broken, they come in, what should I do!] γ
[Does anyone save me, there is a clown with a balloon outside my house who keeps telling me to go out!] γ
[Everyone, pay attention, there is really something in the fog!] There are pictures and truths, don't get into the faint of heart! γ
[Pray with me!] This is the Lord's test! Pious prayer, the Lord will come! γ
[There are enough sand sculptures upstairs! γ
A lean man dressed as an auto mechanic named Li Jian said.
[I've passed the newbie mission!] Locusts can be lured with something metal.
Don't be too afraid, this thing is a foodie, likes to eat iron, looks scary, in fact, it's not difficult to deal with! I'll knock it to death with a hammer! γ
The news caused an immediate sensation.
[Big guy! In other words, what can be opened in the newcomer package? (Expectation face)γ
The man named Li Jian replied without thinking.
[An axe with a white outfit on it, then some biscuits and water, oh, and a 10-degree power reserve, I don't know what it is.] γ
In addition to Li Jian, several people came out to share their experiences in passing the mission, but without exception, all of them were white weapons and some pitiful supplies.
Rorschach found that he was the only one in the entire player communication center who received the "Deluxe Newcomer Gift Pack"!
Although the difference between the "Luxury Newcomer Gift Package" and the "Newcomer Gift Package" is only two words, the difference in prizes is self-evident, showing the luxury words vividly. β
Rorschach secretly rejoiced, this abnormal code! That's amazing!
At this time, someone posted a video on the exchange center.
I saw a strange skeleton in the boundless ghost fog, with scarlet eyes glowing, wearing tattered medieval armor and holding bloodstained short knives, slowly moving forward in the mist.
It's a mighty army of skeletons!
The entire player communication center was boiling directly, and so far, there are still many people hiding in the house, just guessing that there are monsters outside, but now they have seen it with their own eyes.
A skeleton can still walk...
What is in the fog?
Countless people are in a panic.
Although everyone already knows that this world is different from the original world.
But seeing a walking skeleton with my own eyes is still extremely intimidating.
The weapons given by the newcomer's gift pack are probably meant to be used by people to deal with the monsters in the mist...
It's hell mode!
At this time, a message came from the address book, and an avatar was jumping, it was Cao Yusheng.
[Cao Yusheng: You are the owner of my downstairs smart supermarket, right? ] γ
[My shelter was attacked by a swarm of giant locusts just now, and I just drove it away, so I didn't reply, sorry.] γ
[By the way, did you see the post on the exchange center, friendly reminder, remember to turn on the light, the locusts in the fog are afraid of the light, as long as they turn on the light, they don't dare to enter the room. γ
"Ghost-faced locusts afraid of lights?"
Rorschach was stunned, he really didn't expect that there would be this setting?
At this time, there was a "crackling" sound outside the house, and it could be seen from the surveillance that a few ghost-faced locusts were lying on the iron door and gnawing on the iron sheet.
And the iron gate is also slowly falling for a long time, so sooner or later it will be eaten by the ghost-faced locusts, and at that time, the supermarket will become very unsafe!!
"The locusts in the mist are afraid of the light? But I don't have a window, so I can't open the door, can I? β
"Wait! Advertising lights! I have advertising lights! β
Rorschach suddenly remembered that in order to attract customers, he asked people to press an advertising light on the door of the store last month that can light up the eyes of blind dogs, and you can see the five big characters of "big smart supermarket" from afar.
Thinking of this, Rorschach hurriedly ran to the switch and pulled up the independent switch of the advertising light.
"Click!"
The surveillance footage lit up at the moment.
After the advertising lights were turned on, the ghost-faced locusts fled frantically, and soon the supermarket door was clean!
Hey! The effect is very good!
What Cao Yusheng said is true, those ghost-faced locusts are really afraid of lights!
If it weren't for Cao Yusheng's reminder, Rorschach would not have thought that the advertising lights in his supermarket could dispel the deadly iron-eating locusts.
Rorschach realized the importance of information again, opened the address book, and said to Cao Yusheng.
"Thanks buddy."
"Oh, by the way, I remember your blueprint for the Demon Slayer Crossbow is still there? I have water and food here. β
After a while, Cao Yusheng replied.
[Yes, but let me warn you first, this thing has to collect materials, bones, magic crystals, etc. γ
[If you really want it, give me a box of mineral water, a box of instant noodles, and I'll give you the drawings, okay?] γ
[Oh yes, it must be a white elephant, don't be an old sour! ] Thank you. γ
"Don't worry! I'm a white elephant! But isn't it a little expensive? β
Rorschach replied.
[You look at things first. γ
[Demon Slayer Crossbow Drawing (viewable).] γ
"Huh? Also viewable? So advanced. β
Rorschach got up and began to check the drawing information sent by Cao Yusheng, and a drawing appeared in front of him, and the following was the information.
[Item: Demon Slayer Crossbow Blueprint]
[Type: Weapon Crafting Blueprint]
[Materials required: Level 1 monster bones 5, Level 1 monster spine tendons, primary magic crystal 1.] γ
β―β―
Rorschach's eyes lit up, thanks to the giant who committed suicide before, these materials are complete!
"It's still too expensive, though."
Rorschach grimaced.
It's not that he can't get these things to exchange, but he doesn't think it's cost-effective, presumably there shouldn't be a few people as lucky as Rorschach now, and the monster crashed to death in front of his own house.
Without materials, drawings are just a piece of waste paper, and it's useless to hold them.
Cao Yusheng: [Okay, then you can tell me a price.] γ
β―β―
After some reasoning and emotion, Rorschach successfully pressed the conditions to 5 bags of White Elephant brand high-strength chicken soup instant noodles and 5 bottles of mineral water.
Cao Yusheng is also a neat person, and directly sent a transaction application.
An electronic trading box appeared in Rorschach's field of vision, only to see the other party throw the drawings into it and click OK.
Rorschach studied the trading function for a while, then grabbed the instant noodles and water one by one and put them in the trading box.
Is the transaction confirmed? γ
"Sure!" Rorschach said, looking at the trading box.
[The transaction has been confirmed by both parties, and the transaction is successful. γ
You have obtained the Demon Slayer Crossbow Blueprint. γ
"Whew!"
As soon as the words fell, Rorschach immediately had a parchment drawing in his hand.
