Chapter Seventy-Three: The Science of Shopping
"So, you invited me to your private space, not just to give me more general knowledge about the game or to chat with me."
After taking a sip of the hot tea in the cup, Shen Chan asked slowly.
When Lin Er heard Shen Chan's words, he also picked up the tea.
"To be honest, it's really a small talk that came to you......"
She said this, sipping her tea softly.
"After all, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to catch up with you."
Lin Er said vaguely while swallowing tea.
"Can you lie and be less obvious?"
Shen Chan sighed and shook his head.
"You're really not good at this, Lin Er."
Hearing Shen Chan's words, Lin Er put down the teacup and touched his nose.
"Is it so obvious?"
Shen Chan glanced at her and sighed again.
"It may seem difficult to tell the difference, but that's what you lied about 10 years ago...... When you were in junior high school, you told me that you didn't think the game was fun, and when the teacher asked you about it, you said that you didn't know who skipped class and went out to the Internet bar, and you all drank water and spoke so vaguely. ”
Hearing Shen Chan's words, an extremely embarrassed expression appeared on Lin Er's face.
"You're pretty observant...... Maybe you're too wary of me. ”
Hearing Lin Er say this, Shen Chan spread out his hands.
"It's not that I'm wary of you, I'm just used to it."
Although the relationship between him and Lin Er in the past can be said to be very good, when they meet again, they still feel that she is an object worth trying to trust.
But it doesn't mean that Shen Chan won't let go of the caution he has always insisted on with Lin Er.
If it weren't for this cautious treatment, including his own sister-in-law and even Slap Xing, Shen Chan felt that he might have been arrested and sliced for study.
"But I believe you don't have any ill will towards me, so you don't need to hide your purpose, just tell me."
Shen Chan said, and Lin Er also nodded.
"Actually, I'm just a little curious about it......"
She pondered, as if she were considering the words.
"I want to know why you haven't changed at all, and why you've disappeared for so many years."
Lin Er asked, and Shen Chan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
Sure enough, his abnormality was too obvious.
When Lin Er saw himself, it was indeed impossible not to notice it...... I'm exactly the same as I was 10 years ago.
After all, I haven't even changed my hairstyle.
But how to tell Lin Eryan about this......
Shen Chan fell into thought.
"These two things are actually essentially one thing, Lin Er," Shen Chan thought about it, and then spoke, "The reason why I left the school and left Chu Province was because I couldn't continue to stay there. ”
"Just like you see...... I haven't changed in 10 years. And for more details, I am not very convenient to talk to you. ”
As he said this, Lin Er nodded thoughtfully.
"Understand, after all, everyone has secrets, and everyone in this game is also full of secrets."
She also understood very well that Shen Chan had reservations about herself.
After all, after entering this game, Lin Er understands what it feels like to have his own "secret".
It's like she wouldn't tell anyone else, even her closest relatives, about her entry into the Copper Furnace Game - although technically, the Copper Furnace Game wouldn't allow her to actually tell in any way.
Shen Chan just has one more such secret than himself.
It only needs to confirm that the other party is willing to tell himself "Yes, I'm a bit of a secret", and for Lin Er, it is enough.
Anyway, for her, she was more entangled than wondering why Shen Chan's appearance hadn't changed in the past ten years......
Why didn't this guy say goodbye back then!
Although smartphones were not developed ten years ago, Shen Chan didn't even mean to leave a phone number for himself.
Even QQ didn't add its own one!
Now that he knows that the other party had hardships and unspeakable secrets, then for Lin Er, there is no need to be entangled in this matter, and he can turn the page.
She even helped Shen Chan think about it.
After all, Lin Er could also vaguely realize how troublesome it would be if Shen Chan's "appearance has not changed at all" anomaly.
"If it's just 'no change in appearance', it's not like there's no chance to hide it......"
"Even for you, the opportunity is in this copper furnace game!"
Lin Er said so happily, Shen Chan was a little puzzled.
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
Shen Chan asked, and Lin Er clapped his hands.
"Of course it's a 'prop'...... Many of the items in the Copper Furnace game can also be used in the outside world. ”
"Some props have the function of disguise and camouflage...... Although this special functional item is really rare, it does! ”
"Similar things have appeared in the Wanbao Pavilion and the Gold Hunting Dragon Exchange, but like most rare and good things, this thing is still relatively common at the 'auction'."
Lin Er said this, and Shen Chan heard a rather fresh word again.
"Auction?"
He frowned slightly.
"Yes, auction," Lin Er nodded, "That's one of several 'special dungeons' that are opened regularly, and when they are opened, you can go to the system mall to buy tickets." ”
"Haven't you noticed, Cicada, all the malls, except for those props that no one can afford at first glance and are tens of thousands of years old, there are really not many props that are more than fifty years old...... As for more than a hundred years, there will be fewer and fewer of them. ”
"This is naturally because although there are not many people with a large balance, and everyone is very cautious, the demand is still much greater than the supply volume."
"And a large part of the reason why these high-value things are rare is because they are really small, so even if you have a balance, it is difficult for you to find the things you like directly in those malls."
"What's more...... Many of these malls don't sell directly! Otherwise, how to buy things in various malls will not make many bigwigs worthy of going out alone! ”
"For example, Wanbao Pavilion will have released tasks, and if you help Wanbao Pavilion in a certain type of dungeon, it will increase your importance in Wanbao Pavilion...... Now all you see in the Wanbao Pavilion are puppet machines and spirit beasts that can't speak, but if you are important enough, someone will naturally come to receive you. ”
"The Gold Dragon Exchange, on the other hand, is more barter-oriented and 'customizable' – they give you the opportunity to craft items or pick rare items when certain materials you collect are what they need. My 'shield axe' was made by someone! ”
