CHAPTER XXIV
After his teammates left, Ji Xun cautiously walked in the direction of the firelight.
He climbed down the rusted staircase, and from half his waist he could already see the bustling camp.
The light of the fire dispelled the fog, and the camp was crowded.
It was a mechanical town, and treasure hunters had pieced together a tall steel wall from dismantled iron plates and giant rivets from the ruins.
The town is brightly lit and bustling with people, with a preliminary estimate of tens of thousands. On almost every building, there are chimneys that burst out of the smoke.
Before, Ji Xun felt that the steam technology tree in this world was a little crooked, but now it looks like this.
At a glance, he saw the steel python-like steam train in the town, and the large mechanical hoisting arms were lifting all kinds of goods. Even the workers who carry the goods almost always have some bizarre mechanical exoskeletons on their bodies, which allows them to carry tons of goods with ease.
Just now, he was a little worried that he would get into trouble if someone wrote down his outfit, but now that he observed the hunter's outfit in the camp, Ji Xun immediately felt that he was too worried.
Tactical vests with boots, that's the standard for rotten streets.
Seven or eight of the ten hunters in the camp wore this outfit, and even the gas masks were of similar style.
Ji Xun also relieved himself, climbed down the stairs and landed on the ground.
As he walked over, the gate of the camp was open, and several hunters leaned on the tower of the watchtower, scanning the place in boredom.
As long as it's not a monster attack, no one cares who enters the camp.
......
There are many people coming in and out, and people are excitedly talking about the various stories in the ruins.
Ji Xun blended in the crowd and walked in without any accidents.
This is a camp built to explore the ruins, and everything in it is for hunters.
Card shop, gun shop, mechanical modification shop, potion shop, material shop... In short, a shop for all kinds of supplies.
Ji Xun passed by those shops and looked at the dazzling array of firearms and individual mechanical equipment, and was very greedy.
Before, he still felt that his revolver was not bad, and this comparison was really basic.
There are even dozens of bullets, what magic breaking bullets, armor-piercing bullets, exorcism bullets, incendiary bombs...
glanced at the price at the door of the shop:
[Armor-piercing bullet]: ¥3
[High Explosive Grenade]: ¥300
[M127 Left]: ¥1300
[Double-barreled Demon Hunting Gun]: ¥2550
[Individual mechanical strong power bone (800KG)]: ¥32500
Prices are clearly marked.
The same large-mouth gold revolver on his waist is only worth 1,300 yuan, and the sophisticated equipment is often tens of thousands.
And daggers, leather armor, tactical boots, ziplines...
In short, as long as you have money, you can buy a better set of adventure equipment.
The equipment is a guy who eats, and the hunters naturally don't skimp on money, and these shops are full of hunters of all kinds.
Ji Xun walked all the way, bought a tactical backpack, and also updated some essential equipment.
I didn't look at the mechanical skeleton or something.
Too expensive.
The carrying target is also too large.
He continued to walk on, and there was a large shop in the heart of the camp with a sign that read "The Card House of the Hassen Chamber of Commerce".
There is a beautiful glass window at the doorway with magic cards of various colors.
[Wind Blade Card]: ¥3000
[Burst Card]: ¥5000
[Arcane Combo]: ¥15555
[Second Order Hellfire]: ¥30,000
Most of the windows are one-time skill cards, as well as blank containment cards, energy cards, all kinds of strange and incomprehensible psychic cards, armed cards...
Ji Xun glanced at the shop and didn't enter the shop at all, and muttered in his heart: "Is it really because it's cheap?" ”
Before, in the extradimensional space, he saw that Chu Jiu and those mercenaries had used several magic cards.
But very little is used.
It's more about firearms.
Now when you look at the price, you can immediately see why.
Magic cards are indeed much more powerful than guns, and they can also meet a variety of different combat needs.
But the price is outrageous.
A grenade costs only 300, and a first-order [Burst Card] costs 5,000.
The damage on the physical level is about the same, but the price difference is more than ten times.
But there's nothing I can't figure out.
Firearms can be produced on a factory assembly line, and the steam machinery in this world is so developed that the manufacturing cost is definitely not high.
And the cards involve magic and magic sealing, and it seems that they should need to be artificially refined.
There is a reason why you are expensive.
And the ceiling of magic cards is obviously higher.
Grenades are already one of the most powerful ammo in individual equipment, but they are also similar to the power of the lowest card cards.
Those outrageously expensive high-level cards can be guessed by just looking at the name Ji Xun, and they all have some extraordinary magical effects.
For example: a [chain lightning] with a price tag of more than 100,000 yuan.
The skill effect is to instantly inflict group lightning damage and paralysis on targets in the area.
Can the physical body control the power of thunder?
This was very difficult in the technology of the previous life.
While Ji Xun looked amazed, he was also full of expectations for the extraordinary power that humans in this world could master.
In addition, there is an apothecary shop next door, and there are also some alchemy potions that sound magical.
Ji Xun was almost dazzled when he looked at the rows of dazzling potion labels, picked out a few necessary basic potions, and didn't look at them any more.
High-grade elixirs are still one word: expensive!
Ji Xun only had some small amount of cash scraped from the mercenary's corpse in his pocket, and he couldn't afford to buy high-grade potions at all.
He doesn't know the price level of the world yet, and he doesn't know what the purchasing power is.
But the reference was quickly found.
There are rudimentary taverns in the camp where a group of hunters eat, drink, and fart.
Ji Xun walked on the street and took a look, black bread was 15/piece, and drinking water was 3/L.
It's not expensive.
After walking for so long, he was hungry, so he took out the money and sold a piece of black bread the length of his arm.
It's a bit like a baseball bat in your hand, it's hard.
He tried.
Not to mention, in addition to the hardness and the probability of knocking out teeth, the taste is not bad.
After biting, the carbohydrates are broken down by saliva, and a sweet smell sweeps over the taste buds.
It's like a compressed biscuit in a previous life, not caring about the taste, but giving priority to ensuring energy demand.
Ji Xun took a few bites, and soon felt that the heat was sufficient.
......
Everything in the Demon Cross Camp was new to Ji Xun.
As a newcomer, he plans to wander around or sit in the tavern if he can.
Listen to what those people have to say and find out what the world is really like.
But now is clearly not the time.
Ji Xun bought a few supplies and hurried towards the train station behind the camp.
Along the way, his afterglow is also observing all the way.
The camp is a small town that is not very large, and it took not long to walk to the train station.
It is a very simple platform, and it looks like an ancient ruin, and there are traces of time everywhere.
The station is very crowded and lively.
Workers are busy carrying all kinds of supplies found from the ruins on the truck, and the treasure hunters who are full of harvest are also smiling and smiling in groups of three or five to get on the car.
When the treasure hunt is over, if you don't die, you must have earned it.
The hunters would take the train back to Innocence and spend a long time in a drunken state.
Ji Xun's observation is extremely keen, and as soon as he came over, he immediately discovered the abnormality.
"The Blackwater Mercenary Regiment."
In the busy crowd, Ji Xun could distinguish a few guys with abnormal looks at a glance.
The other hunters were in a hurry to get into the car, but they glanced at the crowd as if they were looking for something.
Ji Xun wasn't sure if those guys were looking for themselves.
But it is estimated that even if they are looking for him, the information of those guys is very limited, maybe they only know that they are: a man and a woman?
Wearing a gas mask in the interdimensional space before, the fourth young man of the Cao family didn't see his appearance clearly, and there were not many clues exposed.
As long as you don't show your feet, the probability of being found is not large.
However, there is extraordinary power in this world.
Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless.
He walked with the same joy and lightness as the passers-by, blended in with the crowd, did not shrink his head and tail at all, and walked towards the train generously.
