On the way to Xijiang, the scenery I saw was no different from yesterday.

Most of the shops on both sides of the pedestrian street are still closed. But I don't know if it's because of the better weather, I can vaguely see a few numb figures, passing by like mechanical puppets.

The only way to come to Xijiang Park again......

Chen Ye unsurprisingly saw the row of barbecue stalls, but today, there was more traffic.

Crowds of people queuing up to buy barbecue snaked from one side of the street to the other like a long queue, and the street was suddenly covered with people. When I looked up, the black shadow in front of me was full of numb human heads, as if instinctively rushing towards the barbecue stand.

In the rear, there were a few scattered figures, coming from the other side of the street, and joined the large army one after another.

When Chen Ye's eyes fell on the wooden sign with the price written on it, he found that the numbers on it had changed again.

A skewer of barbecue, twenty copper coins!

Two skewers of barbecue, forty copper coins!

Three skewers of barbecue, 100 copper coins!

"The price has gone up again?"

Chen Ye's brows furrowed slightly.

This time, he didn't immediately stride away, but stopped where he was, carefully observing the changes.

At this moment, I checked with the pupil of luck and found that the color of the barbecue meat on the barbecue stall was different.

Some are green, some are black.

The black color looked like ink, and it resembled the polluted Xijiang River, as if it was slowly wriggling.

Compared with last time, the food at the barbecue stall doesn't seem to be so clean.

At the same time, he found that most of the customers bought three skewers of barbecue at once.

Most of the things you buy are green.

But if there are a few occasionally, you will get one or two skewers of barbecue, and you will get an inky barbecue.

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he judged in his heart:

"Green, a symbol of safe food; Black, a symbol of dangerous food. ”

"Buying one or two skewers of barbecue at a cheap price is the same as buying three skewers of barbecue at a more expensive price, but it's actually different?"

"If you spend twenty copper coins to buy a skewer of barbecue, there will be a problem with the food you will get distributed......"

Soon, Chen Ye found that there was a customer who spent twenty copper coins to buy a string of barbecue with a halo of "ink black", and as soon as he got it in his hand, he took a bite of it.

Chen Ye immediately observed the changes in the other party's aura of luck......

At this moment, the aura of luck on the customer's head instantly turned into an abyss-like black vortex!

The blood-colored eyes suddenly hovered above his head, and his pale pupils seemed to be watching him, as if they were looking at a dead man.

After the barbecue, the customer staggered away from the long line and walked numbly towards the fog-shrouded old town.

Chen Ye vaguely remembered that when the other party came, he didn't come from the direction of the old city.

Rather, it is from the pedestrian street near another intersection of Longhua Avenue.

The old town is the area where these barbecue stalls go when they close their stalls.

Don't even think about it......

There must be a problem!

But if it is a customer who costs a hundred copper coins, enough to buy three skewers of barbecue, even if he eats it on the spot, he does not find any problems, and he does not walk towards the old city, and the aura of luck still remains normal.

"Equivalent scam ......"

Chen Ye closed his eyes, and this word slowly appeared in his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, he could already see the strange routine corresponding to these barbecue stalls.

That's right, the equivalent scam is a very common routine in the game system of "A Strange Age".

For the same commodity, two prices are given -

Buy a single item with a lower unit price;

But on the contrary, when buying multiple items, the unit price is more expensive.

As a consumable, the price of food will change with the supply and demand of the market, and there are certain price fluctuations.

Depending on the ingredients, it can be sold lower or more expensive.

If it is in the era of material shortage, even ordinary ingredients can be sold at sky-high prices, which still conforms to the law of equivalence.

As we all know, "Strange Age" is all about equivalent exchange, and if enough chips are paid, then the food purchased must be safe, edible, and worthy of value.

But if you don't have enough chips to pay, breaking the law of equivalence, then food can be unsafe.

Therefore......

The equivalent scam is exactly what seems to be equivalent, but in fact it breaks the routine of equivalence, burying a pit in it, thus triggering weird rules.

Chen Ye instantly strung the information he got before into a line in his mind, so as to make an analysis:

"At present, more than half of the ingredients that are safe to eat in Linjiang City have been destroyed."

"Therefore, the normal price of ingredients that are safe to eat now requires 100 copper coins to buy three skewers of barbecue."

"That twenty copper coins for a skewer of barbecue is just the price of ingredients, but not the price of ingredients that are safe to eat!"

"The average player who pays enough copper coins to buy food will be protected by the principle of equivalent exchange, so as to avoid risks."

"But if the copper coins are insufficient, the corresponding [equivalent] will fall to simple ingredients, and it is not safe, then only the ghost knows!"

"In the past few days, the barbecue sold by these barbecue stalls, no matter what the price is, is normal, and there will be no accident if you eat it. So, most players go and buy a skewer or two of roast meat and take it for granted. ”

"I don't know...... Value is subject to change, today it is equivalent, tomorrow it may not be. ”

"Therefore, if you still follow your previous habit and stupidly buy a skewer of barbecue, you will fall into the equivalent scam, which will trigger the weird rules, and it is difficult to say what will become of it then."

Chen Ye raised his head, and when the figures surged towards the old city, he saw that there was a thick blood light there, which was constantly brewing.

The blood light seemed to converge into a river, bringing a feeling of extreme danger!

At the same time, Chen Ye found that the aura of luck on the heads of the barbecue stall owners had changed.

Inky tentacle-like lines connect their heads, hands, and legs...... It seems to be like a marionette, accompanied by a rich blood light, condensed at the top.

"This weird game is not that simple, it involves the price ...... of the entire Linjiang City" Chen Ye frowned slightly, his intuition told him that these barbecue stalls were not as simple as he imagined.

Again, look closely.

Suddenly, Chen Ye found a faint glass that had separated from the bodies of the barbecue stall owners into a misty filament, looming, connecting the three-color ring around him, as if there was a connection?

His heart immediately moved: "These barbecue stall owners may have the characteristics I need?" ”

"Glass" represents the extraordinary, which is generally related to characteristic items.

If you can kill other beings in Strange Age, you can drop the opponent's core perk items!

What's more, these stall owners seem to have a big problem, and they may have the characteristics they need.

If you do it......

Maybe you can get enough materials for the second turn of the profession!
