Chapter Twenty-Five: The Merchant of the First Rank
The knocker was a humanoid monster dressed as an ancient merchant, wearing a wide robe that covered his entire body, and a five-cylinder mask from mahjong on his face.
Strictly speaking, it belongs to NPCs, merchant NPCs that wander around the world and rely on luck to meet, as long as they have money and materials, they can exchange useful items, equipment, and some rare items that cannot be found anywhere else.
But it's not wrong to say it's a monster, "Apocalypse" is a unique mechanic, that is, all NPCs can be killed, and generally as long as the player does not actively attack the NPC, the NPC will not actively attack the player.
"Do you have what I want?"
The merchant's voice was hoarse and low, as if two pieces of rusty iron were rubbing, and the penetrating sound came directly into the house.
Ji Nian came to the courtyard and found that it was a merchant NPC.
γLevel 1 Merchantγ
Health: 1000000/1000000
Physical Attack: 2900
Magical Attack: 3700
Armor: 1000
Forensics: 1000
......
Weaknesses: None
Ji Nian saw through the system all kinds of information about the merchant, and there was no weakness, which meant that he couldn't deal with other monsters by attacking weaknesses to cause critical hits.
With this perverted attribute, coupled with no weakness, Ji Nian could only sigh with emotion: "Brother Merchant, you are still as strong as ever!" β
I still remember that the first time he died playing "The End of the World", he contributed to the merchant, and he couldn't see any information at that time, and he thought that this guy who pretended to be a ghost was easy to deal with, but he was killed by the other party in an instant.
Now that there is a VIP, he can see the detailed attributes in the early stage, plus the experience accumulated from playing the computer game "The Last Days" before, he naturally will not provoke this terrible merchant.
There are four levels of merchants, and they are easily recognizable from their masks.
Among them, the lowest level is to use the tube, 10,000 characters, and strip cards, and the merchant wearing a five-cylinder mask in front of him is a first-class merchant, and then the east, west, north, south, and north winds are the second level, making a fortune, and the red middle is the third level, as for the fourth-level tabula rasa merchant Ji Nian has not met for so long playing "The End of the World".
The higher the merchant's level, the higher the items sold, the higher their own attributes and strength, and the lower the probability of encountering them.
"Huh? I've never seen this monster, and I can even speak human words? β
Zhang Wei got very limited information through the system, and he could only know that it was a level 1 merchant, and there was no other information.
Zhang Wei was excited, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the shield to put on, "I want to fight him alone!" β
"Stop!"
Ji Nian hurriedly shouted to stop Zhang Wei, and Zhang Weileng wondered in place: "Brother Ji, isn't it just a level 1 little shrimp monster?" β
"Ji Nian, you.... Your back is wet. β
Qin Motong didn't know the details of this monster, the information she could see was the same as Zhang Wei, but she was wary of this monster, after all, everyone was still encountering zombie-type monsters, and how strange this mouth-spitting first-level monster in front of her looked like.
Until, she noticed that after Ji Nian shouted to stop Zhang Wei, Ji Nian's back clothes were wet with cold sweat.
"Almost!" Ji Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Zhang Wei: "You almost killed all of us, do you know?" β
"Huh?"
Zhang Wei looked confused, he didn't know how terrible this merchant was, once he attacked the merchant and triggered a counterattack by the merchant, even the safe house would be destroyed in a short time.
Everyone in the house will die.
Boom!
Knock knock!
"Do you have what I want?" The merchant shouted again, and as long as he shouted three times and no one paid attention, he would take the initiative to leave.
Ji Nian warned everyone: "This is an NPC, an existence that we can't afford to provoke at the moment, you all go into the house and don't come out." "Anyway, take the initiative to go out of the yard and open the door for the merchant, as long as you don't attack the merchant, this is an opportunity.
After approaching the merchant, a page immediately appeared in front of Ji Nian's eyes, similar to the mall panel in the game.
The merchant provides a very complete range of types, everything is limited to one purchase, and there is no one to buy it, and now no one should unlock the function of the merchant, so there are still a lot of equipment and props in the merchant's backpack.
In terms of equipment, the lowest level is 5 and the highest level is 20, and the lowest quality is silver, and the highest is gold!
Gold-level equipment Ji Nian is very greedy but can't afford it, in addition to paying coins, he also needs several silver-level equipment in exchange, and he is not very short of equipment at present, so Ji Nian focuses on props.
Blood medicine, blue medicine or something, don't talk about it, the merchant sells good goods, and there are all kinds of amplification potions, such as increasing attack power, defense, speed, etc. for a certain period of time, and then there are some daily necessities, even instant noodles and melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge, do you dare to believe it?
Wait a minute!
Ji Nian's eyes were attracted by the substitute death doll in the props, this substitute death doll effect is that as long as you wear it on your body, you can resist a death effect when your health drops to zero, and it will not die within three seconds, and the substitute death doll will disappear after three seconds.
This prop is also a scarce prop in the middle and late stages of "The End of the World", and the effect is very powerful and easy to use.
It's just that the price is not generally expensive!
Ji Nian could only smile bitterly when he looked at the price, what was marked on it was 500,000 copper coins, five pieces of silver-level equipment above level 10, and a gold-level weapon above level 15, not to mention that he couldn't take out these things, and even if he could take them, he wouldn't change them.
Merchant will not trade at a loss.
Ji Nian looked at the countdown at the top of the mall page, it was less than three minutes, as long as he was close to the merchant to open the mall, the time left for the buyer was only five minutes, and the merchant would also leave as soon as the five minutes arrived.
"Yes, can you exchange goods?"
Ji Nian suddenly thought that the merchant in the game has the function of bartering, this is still a hidden function, if you are not a veteran, you don't know at all, that is to say, in addition to the price marked by the merchant, you can also exchange it with materials of similar value.
The merchant said hoarsely: "Yes." β
Ji Nian did not hesitate to take out the gold treasure map fragment 3, this is the only valuable thing on his body, and he can't enter the financial area to find fragment 4 to get the gold treasure chest, but the value of this treasure map is placed here.
Moreover, Ji Nian had already memorized the location of the treasure chest, and for him personally, the value of this treasure map fragment 3 was not so great.
Ji Nian quietly waited for the merchant to answer, this substitute doll is equivalent to a second life, if he can get it, no matter what actions he takes next, he will be more confident.
The merchant was silent for more than ten seconds, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally he still spoke: "Yes!" β
"Do you want to trade?"
This time it was the system prompt, and Ji Nian replied without hesitation: "Yes!" β
