Chapter 20: The Second Mission (2-in-1)
In front of the crowd, a stall owner sat in his seat, and in front of him, a most dazzling scroll was placed.
Because, it exudes an incomparably rich gray aura, which is a superior spirituality, that is, a dark gray quality, which is undoubtedly very eye-catching on the trading battlefield.
At present, most of the dependents who can return to the space are newcomers, otherwise, the veterans will inevitably stay in reality for vacation without using special means, after all, the interval between their tasks is generally more than a week.
In the rookie stage, a light gray item is worth their scramble to break their heads, not to mention, it is a dark gray quality.
The reason why it can attract so many onlookers is not only the quality of the scroll, but also its effect -
γPetrified Gaze (Dark Gray)γ
Item Type: Arcane Scroll (Consumable)
Place of Origin: Sin Sea World, End of the Anos Sea, Night Islands
Requirements: Mystic 6 or above.
Effect: When the Dependant activates the scroll, he will summon the 'Eye of Sisina', which will cause a spell gaze in a fan-shaped area in front of him, that is, within 30 meters x 80 degrees, and determine the target's constitution. If the opponent is lower than the judgment value, it will directly petrify the instant kill, if it is higher than the judgment value, it will cause 30 points x the user's mysterious attribute, and the calculation result is true damage (not subject to magic resistance/physical resistance reduction).
Average review score: 40 (rare)
Synopsis: This is a scroll that contains the power of Sisina, or to be precise, it should be called the power that seals her.
Price: 3000 Dusk Coins
Looking at this scroll on the stall, the eyes of many relatives are full of desire and greed, you know, this is an AOE (Area of Damage) type arcane scroll, or an item with a rating of 40 points and a 'rare' suffix: once the upper limit of the quality score is reached, there is a 'rare' suffix.
If used well, you can make amazing gains in the mission world.
But the price on the stall discouraged everyone, only at the front, a stubble uncle wearing a black turban, was talking to the stall owner, or rather, bargaining: "This secret scroll, I admit that its quality is very good." β
"But if you want to sell it, I'm afraid it's a little difficult at this juncture."
After speaking, Uncle Stubble glanced at the secret scroll again, and there was irrepressible excitement in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, he and his companions returned to the space in advance, but encountered such good goods, you know, the normal secret art scroll, the price of the space is only seven or eight hundred, after all, it is a one-time consumable. Moreover, there is a prerequisite for the use of the arcane scroll, which is that it has the essence of the direction of 'wisdom', which is commonly known as the mage.
If you are not a mage, using the arcane scroll will reduce your power.
Even if you meet the activation conditions, you can only release 50% of the effect, which is 50% of the power.......... In this case, except for the Mage group, the others do not carry the secret art scroll, the cost performance is too low, seven or eight hundred throw out one, the power is not enough to kill people.
Even if the person who accommodates the original essence does not belong to the novice dependents, and some family backgrounds cannot withstand such consumption.
However, this [Petrified Gaze] is different, and there is no 'primordial' requirement in the conditions of use.
In other words, any person who uses it will be able to activate 100% of its power as long as it meets the '6 Mystery' conditions............ It's an important hole card, for anyone!
The value judgment given by the [Petrified Gaze] in the Dusk Space is 3,000 Dusk Coins, which is much higher than the normal arcane scrolls.
Although the twilight space is very black-hearted, in some ways, it is also unexpectedly 'fair' - high-value items are bound to be marked at a higher price than those of the same tier.
"However, your offer is 5,400 dusk coins, which is too low.......... "The stall owner, a middle-aged bald man, said with a hesitant expression.
This secret scroll can be sold for at least 9,000 Dusk Coins, which is more than 3 times the price of the space. Moreover, according to the excellent characteristics of [Petrified Gaze], there is no restriction on the original condition, and at this point, it is not difficult for this scroll to sell for tens of thousands of Dusk Coins.
The problem is.........
Uncle Stubble is right, the quality of this scroll is very good, but at this juncture, it is very difficult to sell!
"You have to think clearly, at this time period, most of the dependents who can return to the space are newcomers, can they afford the price to buy this scroll?" Uncle Stubble sneered, his eyes scanning the audience.
Although his voice was very loud, and the relatives nearby also heard it, and they all felt offended again, they couldn't refute each other, because the newcomer's dependents really didn't have much money on their bodies, and they could have 1,000 dusk coins, which was a huge amount of money.
As for the more than 5,000 Dusk Coins, they really sold their entire net worth, and they couldn't reach this secret art scroll.
Because of this, Uncle Stubble settled on this scroll, and the stall owner in front of him was very anxious, and it could be seen that he seemed to be in urgent need of dusk coins.
"You're ready to upgrade your basic skills, right? That's a lot of money, even if you have a small spiritual fragment. Uncle Stubble continued, attacking the stall owner's psychological defense: "There is not much time left for you to set up your stall, if you continue to drag it out and sell it to the space, you can only exchange it for 3,000 dusk coins, which is a big loss.......... Also, you have less skill levels. β
"The next mission world is bound to be even more dangerous, right?"
Ay.......... The bald stall owner sighed, the other party was right, there was a big gap in the dusk coins he needed. Otherwise, you won't be able to sell this life-saving hole card, but in any case, upgrading the basic skills is a must, and the benefits are greater than keeping the arcane scroll.
The next mission is almost underway, and there is not much time left for him.
"Okay........." just as the bald stall owner was about to accept his fate and sell at a loss.
There was movement in the crowd, and a black-haired young man with outstanding appearance squeezed through the crowd and came to the stall: "I bid 6,000 dusk coins to buy this scroll, do you sell it?" β
As soon as these words came out, the bald stall owner's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it for less than a few seconds, he said decisively: "Sell!" If you give a high price, you will sell it! β
"Boy!"
Uncle Stubble's face turned dark, and he never expected that at the last moment, a Cheng biting gold would come out and grab the goods.
His tone was not good: "I took a fancy to things first, you are not very moral to grab goods halfway, right?" β
"The things on the battlefield, the one with the highest price will get it, do you still pay attention to one priority?" Su Shi replied calmly, this secret scroll, he was bound to get it.
If you get it, the next step will be to make changes to the action plan of the Soviet Dynasty, and there is an idea that can be implemented in advance!
"Damn......... I bid 6,500 Dusk Coins! β
Uncle Stubble gritted his teeth and quoted his reserve price, which was all his deposit.
To be more precise, this is what he and his companions put together, ready to buy a powerful item to deal with the lone wanderer who is hostile to the community, and the strength of the other party is very strong.
This is also one of the reasons why they used special means to return to space in advance, and the other main reason is that they are aware of the hostile's actions, and the other party also returns to space in advance, intending to stagger the mission world with them.
Returning ahead of schedule is to encircle the lone traveler.
"7,000 Dusk Coins." Su Shi didn't raise his eyelids, and calmly reported a number.
Click!
Uncle Stubble was so angry that he went crazy, but he was helpless, this price had exceeded his holding funds.
I really don't understand, under the premise that only the newcomer returns, how can anyone take out such a huge amount of money?
"Young man, we are members of the [Secret Hunting Society], if you can transfer this item to us........." Uncle Stubble's tone was half threatening, half demagoguery, "I can let you join the society as a peripheral member for the time being." β
"As a peripheral member of the [Secret Hunting Society], you can enjoy many benefits, such as the internal channels of the society, or mission rescue, combat teaching, and other member benefits..........."
"The most important thing is that in the Yellow Sand Plain, except for a few top societies, no one dares to provoke us."
Peripheral members? Su Shi has no waves in his heart, if he is a newcomer, he will still be deceived by the other party, but after 'Yinli' explained some basic common sense to him, especially in the community, Su Shi already knew that the so-called peripheral members were cannon fodder.
What's more, it is said that the [Secret Hunting Society] is at war with a powerful enemy, and the other party is too busy to take care of themselves and join them as a peripheral member, isn't it 'cannon fodder'?
At the beginning, the bosses of Baizu Street warned Yinli not to get involved in the whirlpool between the two.
Yinli's strength is definitely much stronger than Su Shi.
She couldn't avoid it.
Su Shi didn't feel that he was qualified to get involved in the matter.
"No, I prefer this item." Su Shi rejected the other party, seeing this, Uncle Stubble snorted coldly, looked at him deeply, turned around and squeezed away from the crowd.
Su Shi picked up the arcane scroll from the stall and was about to pay the Dusk Coins.
Seeing this, the bald stall owner suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "It's not enough, at least 8,000 dusk coins, otherwise I won't sell this thing!" β
Su Shi's movements froze, and he looked at the bald stall owner.
The items on the stall are protected by the space, and can only be taken out of the confines of the stall if both parties agree on the transaction.
If the bald stall owner sits on the ground and starts the price, Su Shi cannot force the transaction, this is the other party's stall.
The bald stall owner Lao Shen is here, he feels that he has eaten Su Shi, and the other party would rather offend the [Secret Hunting Society] than buy this secret scroll, indicating that his next world is likely to be a little special, and he needs high-powered props to save his life.
Moreover, this young man has already offended the [Secret Hunting Society], which is considered a sunk cost, in the eyes of the bald stall owner, in order to get the secret scroll, the other party must have to eat this dumb loss and obediently pay for it.
Su Shi put down the scroll, didn't say a word, turned and left.
In the eyes of others, Su Shi may have offended the [Secret Hunting Society], but from Yinli's channels, he learned the inside story that Su Shi was in order not to get involved in the whirlpool of the two. It seems that this bald stall owner is not very well-informed, and he does not know that the [Secret Hunting Society] is deeply involved in struggle.
It seems that Yin Li's strength level is also very high, at least her news is more well-informed than the vast majority of dependents.
Therefore, the bald stall owner guessed a little wrong, Su Shi did not offend the [Secret Hunting Society] for this scroll.
Even if the other party didn't sell him, Su Shi had another choice, as early as before squeezing into the stall, he used the 'Memory' ability to lock the items or equipment on several stalls, and the bald stall owner's scroll was only the best solution among them.
But it's not the only option.
It's a big deal, he won't activate the beacon in the next world, and it doesn't matter if he puts a world on hold for the time being.
He is not the one who is in a hurry.
When he saw Su Shi's turning around, the bald stall owner was stunned for a few seconds, until the other party had already squeezed through the crowd and went to another stall not far away, and suddenly, the bald man panicked, because he could see that Su Shi really didn't care.
"Don't ...... Don't don't!! β
The bald stall owner hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, incredible, his strength attribute was quite high, and he easily pushed away a group of newcomers, hurriedly came to Su Shi's side, pulled him and said: "Brother, let's discuss it carefully, I think the price of 7000 dusk coins is quite appropriate, so it's decided, right?" β
Su Shi was dragged by him and returned to the stall, but this time, the two sides completely swapped their positions.
The bald stall owner was in a hurry to sell things, but Su Shi was not in a hurry, he picked up the secret scroll and looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "I think 6500 dusk coins is also very good, don't you say?" β
Hiss......... The bald stall owner had a little sore teeth, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, he said with a bitter face: "Brother, it really can't be lower, buying [Petrified Gaze] at the price of 7,000 dusk coins is very profitable, this thing is used well, and killing people beyond the level is not a problem." β
Su Shi nodded slightly, what the other party said was right, 7,000 dusk coins to buy [Petrified Gaze] is not a loss, and it is even very bloody.
But he didn't propose to reduce the price in order to really lower the price.
Because in the state of the bald stall owner, the other party is really short of money, and if he lowers the price, he is likely to break up.
Su Shi deliberately lowered the price because of the blow to the other party's psychology, and now, it was almost time for him to really make a move.
"Then let's do it, I won't embarrass you, 7,000 Dusk Coins to buy the [Petrified Gaze] ........."
Without waiting for the bald stall owner to show his joy, Su Shi picked up another item on the stall: "Take this thing, I won't take advantage of you, and then take 1,000 dusk coins, buy it, two things for a total of 8,000 dusk coins." β
Hearing this, the bald stall owner's face stiffened, the other party's eyes were really vicious, this thing is definitely the most valuable thing in the stall except for [Petrified Gaze], there is no one.
γHealing Pill (Pure Gray)γ
Item Category: Spiritual Food
Place of Origin: Destiny World, Reflection City, No. 1 Abandoned Hospital.
Requirements: 6 points of constitution or less (otherwise it will be invalid).
Effect: After taking the healing pill, the healing is strengthened, and the specific effect is equivalent to 6 points of constitution or more (lasting one hour).
Rating: 15
Synopsis: This is enough to save your life, as long as you take it, all serious injuries can heal themselves.
Price: 720 Dusk Coins
This is a very powerful life-saving item, the recovery power of 6 points of physique, Su Shi once learned in the original iron world, that mining team leader Sander, is a character above 6 points of physique.
If it weren't for it, Su Shi would have taken advantage of the dark environment to overshadow the other party, and it would have been difficult to kill him at all. Rao is like this, after Su Shi snatched the 'Gray Casting Revolver', he also fired 1+3 shots in a row, and the gun hit the vital point, which solved the other party.
In a normal situation, the target protects the vital point in the dodge, and 4 shots can't kill people at all, and the gray cast revolver is a pure gray medium spirit suit, which shows the terrible nature of the 6-point physique. If Su Shi subdues it, he is sure to fight a war of attrition with the enemy and drag the opponent to death.
In a sense, the life-preserving ability of the healing pill is not much worse than that of [Petrified Gaze], but the latter has lethality and can deal with plot characters.
Once used well, killing important characters will allow you to loot a large number of World Souls, plus high-quality chest drops.
Using [Petrified Gaze], there is a certain possibility that it will return to its original cost, and even make money with blood, which is something that healing pills can't do.
Because of this, [Petrified Gaze] is much more popular than healing pills, and in the Dependents market, offensive items are far better than pure life-saving items, and the same is true in terms of price.
But no matter how cheap the price of the healing pill is, it can be sold for 2,000 dusk coins, and Su Shi opened a price and cut it in half, which made the bald stall owner extremely painful, however, without waiting for him to speak again.
"You're in dire need of 8,000 Dusk Coins, aren't you? The total cost of upgrading basic skills is 8,000 dusk coins, so if you don't hesitate to offend me, you will increase the price to 8,000. Su Shi's tone was calm, and the content was like a sharp sword, allowing the bald stall owner to completely break his defense.
"Hey......... You win, so trade it like this. β
The bald stall owner sighed, he was too eager in front of him, exposing his psychological bottom line.
- 8,000 dusk coins, a condition he couldn't refuse.
In order to get 8,000, the bald stall owner could only pinch his nose and eat the loss.
This point was originally that he wanted to test Su Shi's psychological bottom line, but he never thought of it, but was caught by the other party, and it can only be said that Su Shi is one of the most difficult people to fool among the relatives he has met.
"Add a friend, we can work together if we have a chance in the future." The bald stall owner said enthusiastically after the transaction was completed.
As a veteran of several worlds, he sensed the potential of Su Shi, no matter what, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies.
Su Shi agreed to the other party's application, it is worth mentioning that in addition to the numerical number, his ID has also been changed to 'Su', and in the future, when the Twilight Space arranges his identity, it will be the same as the name.
From this point of view, it seems that the twilight space can tamper with the cognition of the aborigines in the world, confusing the names in their impressions with the names of their dependents, and it is really powerful, but the twilight space also has to pay a little price.
Put the [Petrified Gaze] and [Healing Pill] into the Void Backpack, and the Dusk Coins on Su Shi's body were also spent, leaving only 1,000 Dusk Coins for emergencies, and next, he had to go to meet the mission.
[Hint: There are still 10 minutes left before the mission world opens, so please walk into the drop-off location.] γ
Rumble!
Pillars of light lit up everywhere on the Yellow Sand Plain, Su Shi found the nearest pillar of light, stepped into it, and in an instant, he got information from the seal on the back of his hand that the next world was about to open, but at this moment, his mind moved.
A shrunken book, emerging from the Void Backpack, is none other than the World Beacon Gospel Book.
As a [World Beacon], it can be tracked in a certain mission world, and the World Beacon Gospel Book held by Su Shi is the place where the orbit is set is the Primordial Iron World!
Compared to before, Su Shi's strength has increased significantly, at least two or three times, and in addition, he has purchased [Petrified Gaze] as a hole card.
Even the master blacksmiths in the Primordial Iron World, or the powerful envoys who are against them, may not be able to resist the [Petrified Gaze].
With this insurance, Su Shi has a partial understanding of this world, and for various reasons, Su Shi has no reason not to go to the original iron world.
Obviously holding the beacon, but leaving a few worlds to go back.......... This kind of stupid thing, Su Shike can't do it.
The next moment, under Su Shi's gaze, the shrunken book slowly dissolved in the pillar of light.
[Hint: Detected the use of the World Beacon by the dependent, relocating ..........]
[Hint: Positioning, target world - Primordial Iron World!] γ
