Chapter 16: New Trait - Chef Apprentice

"Are there any kitchen-related props?"

Chen Ye's eyes suddenly fell to the "spatula" in the trading column, and relevant information appeared on the left side.

[Spatula: A shovel that can be used for cooking!] 】

Chen Ye's brows furrowed slightly, and he was considering whether to exchange it.

That's when it happened.

The pupil of luck observed that this spatula, with a halo like a rainbow, was formed into a thread, vaguely connected to itself.

The sight was amazing.

Chen Ye immediately realized that this "spatula" may have a different meaning for him!

"So my pupil of luck can be observed even through the screen?"

Chen Ye felt a burst of surprise in his heart.

Although the information given by the Scarlet Phone is not very descriptive......

But with the Pupil of Luck, the amount of information obtained is different!

It is equivalent to others who may not be able to see the true value of some items, but Chen Ye can, then there is a chance to pick up the leak!

"Accept the invitation."

Chen Ye quickly approved the other party's transaction request.

The next second.

A chat box popped up in the center of the Scarlet Phone screen—

[Player 'Nine-Tailed Fox's Pen' applies to open the chat interface ......]

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and then chose to "accept".

A message quickly popped up from the message box.

[Nine-Tailed Fox's cat: "Hello boss, I want to exchange this spatula for your food.] ”】

[Chen Ye: "Yes.] ”】

[Nine-tailed fox's cat: "However, I need to be able to guarantee at least a week's worth of food and water, is that acceptable?" ”】

Meaning it's time to bargain......

But.

This is also normal, after all, the spatula may be a perk-related item.

But their own food is just consumables to barely make ends meet.

Since Chen Ye wants to exchange less valuable food for items and props with higher rarity, the other party must also want to bargain for more food to reduce losses.

Chen Ye thought about it and immediately replied.

[Chen Ye: "I can prepare a week's amount for you, but this sugar-fried chestnut can have a strong satiety ability, and there is no problem with one to support it for a day."] ”】

[Cat of the nine-tailed fox: "Seven...... Wouldn't it be a little too little......"]

[Chen Ye: "I can send you a seven-day drinking water supply."] ”】

[Cat of the nine-tailed fox: "But this spatula is my salary for a month, since your sugar-fried chestnuts are so good, can you give a few more?" ”】

[Chen Ye: "In that case, I'll give you twenty-one chestnuts, three a day, providing about two liters of water, plus a copper coin. This is already the greatest help I can give you, and I have wasted a lot of effort to get these resources, and there is no more. ”】

[Nine-Tailed Fox's Cat: "Okay...... I accept the transaction ......"]

Initial stage.

It is not a loss to exchange excess survival resources for items with special functions.

Rarity is not a level.

In fact, the bag full of sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand was full of more than fifty.

It's not even worth a song.

But it can be exchanged for a "spatula" prop, and it also exudes a halo of luck with colorful glow, no matter how you look at it, you can make a lot of money.

Although I don't know if what the 'cat of the nine-tailed fox' said is true......

If this spatula is indeed a month's salary, it should have a special value.

It's just that this player is in the beginning stage and can't use the characteristics of a spatula yet.

But the aura of luck revealed by this "spatula" is connected with itself, and it may have a special effect.

As for those two liters of water......

Next to him, the old man with an erhu snored like thunder, as if he was asleep.

Chen Ye unceremoniously smoothed the entire bucket.

Plus a copper coin.

In fact.

The price of a copper coin is not very high, and even a piece of music can be exchanged for three copper coins for performance.

It's just that it is sent with sugar-fried chestnuts and water sources, as if this copper coin can add a little more security, and it seems that this transaction will not be too much of a loss.

The rules of the "black market" are more special, because the two sides are trading under the trade-off of the player, and the exchange is carried out.

Therefore, even if there is a deviation in the actual value, it is considered an equivalent exchange.

There will be no other impact.

The trading platform of the scarlet mobile phone is called the [Mysterious Black Market], also because it is outside the rules.

In fact, Chen Ye also knew that there were still some informal trading methods in "Strange Era", which could also circumvent the principle of equivalence.

Both parties accepted the deal.

Next Second......

A prompt pops up on the scarlet phone——

[Congratulations on getting a "spatula" through black market trading!] 】

[There are new features that can be fused!] 】

[Spatula] + [Apprentice] = [Chef's Apprentice]

[Do you choose to incorporate this feature?] 】

"It's really possible to merge into new features!"

Chen Ye was pleasantly surprised, his heart moved, and he immediately chose "Fusion!" ”

[You have obtained a new special - Chef Apprentice!] 】

【Chef Apprentice (NEW): You gain the ability to cook ingredients, and as you practice your cooking skills repeatedly, you will make more and more delicious dishes. 】

"It turns out that this spatula is a semi-characteristic prop."

"The so-called semi-characteristic item means that the item itself is not a characteristic item."

"However, it has a part of the functions of the usual characteristics."

"For example, this spatula may have been used by a chef but then discarded. Although the spatula itself is not a perk item, it has some of its perks tainted, so when it encounters a trait that can be fused, it will be able to acquire a new perk. ”

"I now have the characteristics of [Chef Apprentice], and my identity has nothing to do with chefs."

"However, because of the characteristics of [Apprentice], it can be fused with a spatula, so I obtained [Chef Apprentice]."

"After getting the trait of [Chef Apprentice], my chef trait is more complete, and if I have the opportunity to obtain the trait props of the [Chef] sequence in the future, it may be able to be fused into a real chef profession, and the trait abilities unlocked will be as many as several in an instant, which is more complete!"

"This is the advanced core gameplay of "Strange Era" derived from the accumulated characteristics - class transfer."

In the game of "Strange Age", there is no fixed and non-convertible between different class sequences.

As long as you can obtain neutral characteristics, find a characteristic item that can be fused, and fuse it......

Subsequently.

After obtaining the full perk of a class......

Look for perks related to the corresponding class again for a chance to unlock a new class.

For example, Chen Ye's current profession is [Wandering Musician], and he has the characteristics of the original [Wanderer] and [Apprentice] at the same time.

However, the Apprentice is a neutral trait that can be integrated with other professions such as the Chef.

In this way, Chen Ye can obtain a trait item such as "Spatula", which will unlock one of the traits of [Chef] - [Chef Apprentice].

However, just obtaining the [Chef Apprentice] is not enough to become a real chef, it is only a characteristic of the corresponding identity, which is not complete.

But at this stage, Chen Ye can already integrate many characteristics related to [chef]. As long as the conditions are sufficient, there is a chance to unlock the full professional status.

Thus embarking on the upgrade route of this sequence!

It is equivalent to a wide road.

It's like upgrading from [Wanderer] to [Wandering Apprentice], with two different ways to play.

It's an expansion and development.

"Today's harvest is really good!"

Chen Ye smiled happily, looking at the new features added to the personal interface, his heart was extremely comfortable.
