Chapter 16 Wandering in the Square

"It's a good thing."

Chen Mo had already learned about the gemstone system from the introduction of the book.

The gemstone is the most basic stone in the gem system, and it is also the stone with the most wide range of applications and the most stable price.

It is said that some rich worlds will also have veins of energy stones, which often also means that the natural disasters who enter this world to carry out tasks are likely to make a windfall, after all, the disaster world has been in short supply for such consumables for a long time, and there is a great shortage of them.

In addition to replenishing the energy consumed by the Scourge, the power stones will also be used for the magic array, prohibition, enchantment and some special weapons, so the daily consumption is extremely large, and even the high-level Scourge promotion trials often have the requirement to collect energy stones.

"I want it."

Chen Mo actually bought this energy stone on the spot.

The reason why he did this was not because he was in urgent need of energy stones, but because he hoped to get closer to the other party and get some basic information.

After that, even if he can't use this energy stone, Chen Mo can sell it at any time.

Tip: You initiated a trade request.

Hint: With -10 points for your Scourge contribution, you have gained a low-level Power Stone.

In the blink of an eye, 76 natural disaster contribution points, and with 66 points left, Chen Mo put this energy stone into the storage space.

The female catastrophe who had gained something was also in a much better mood, and she noticed that Chen Mo looked at her two pieces of white quality equipment again, and she was more patient.

Cue: espadrilles.

Quality: White.

Wearing Requirements: None.

Equipment attribute: 14 points of Qi and blood.

Equipment introduction: It can better protect your feet.

Like helmet equipment, the basic attribute of shoes is to increase the blood value, but the degree of improvement is not high, and the cost performance is far inferior to weapons and armor, so the price of helmets and shoes is lower than that of weapons and armor for equipment of the same level.

However, it is important to note that the shoes have an invisibility property that increases movement speed, similar to the helmet that reduces head weakness damage.

As for the price of the cosmetic, it varies depending on the Scourge's needs and the rarity of the attributes, but overall, it is the most expensive in the equipment slot.

"White quality shoes, the attributes are also qualified, make up a whole, and sell you cheaply with 25 points."

The female catastrophe was introduced with great interest.

The range of qi and blood attributes of white quality shoes is between 10~20 points, and each level of enchantment increases the qi and blood value by 1 point, but no one will be stupid to enchant and upgrade a white quality shoe.

And the qi and blood blessing of this shoe is 14 points, which is just barely usable, but Chen Mo doesn't understand the value of the equipment, so he won't make a decision right away.

He had to shop around and determine the price differentiation of white quality equipment.

As for higher-quality green equipment, although he has enough points to buy one, and even shoes and helmets of slightly inferior quality, he may barely be able to buy two, but the cost performance is obviously not as good as trying to buy more white quality equipment, at least fully armed first.

You have to live before you can talk about the future.

"I've heard that shoes and helmets, in addition to increasing qi and blood attributes, also have hidden attributes that can reduce being hit by weak point crits?"

Chen Mo asked casually.

Ever since Demon Slayer was killed by his Weak Point Critical Hit, he began to focus on this aspect, and then accidentally learned that the helmet and shoes actually had hidden properties that reduce the Weak Point Critical Hit, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"You're asking the right question!"

The female catastrophe was slightly surprised, and then she showed a smug look.

"Helmets and shoes do have hidden properties that reduce damage from critical hits from weak spots, that's true! Helmets protect the head, which is a weakness for humanoids, and shoes can reduce the damage of trap skills, which can be ridiculously high if you don't wear high-quality shoes! ”

Between the words, she actually looked like she had palpitations, as if she had encountered a similar situation.

"Trap skills?"

Chen Mo muttered to himself, but still in the disappointed eyes of the other party, he put down the white quality shoes in his hand, and had no intention of buying them.

Two pieces of white quality equipment, and one dagger, suitable for speed-type scourge who has mastered basic assassination.

Chen Mo looked at it for a moment and put it down.

Finally, there is a bottle of potion.

Cue: the wines of Count Carrocki Mill.

Quality: White.

Requirements: Take it after the erosion of natural disaster energy, and the cooldown time is 1 hour.

Item Attributes: Restores 112 health.

Item description: Count Carroki Mill, one of the oldest vampire clans in the forest, wields the oldest and most evil brewing techniques, and since his ingredients are derived from the blood of innocents, they are accompanied by unpredictable temporary negative status effects and temporary buffs when actually consumed.

Chen Mo naturally noticed the situation in the item introduction column and was slightly surprised.

"How's that, are you interested?"

The female catastrophe recommended: "This is a special potion obtained in the mission world, the fair potion small green bottle sold by the Chamber of Commerce can only restore 100 points of qi and blood, and it will cost 30 points, my bottle of potion can not only restore 112 points of qi and blood, but also have unpredictable temporary buff effects, as long as you have 35 points, with this bottle of potion, maybe it can save your life during the mission!" ”

Again, as before, she never said anything about the temporary negative status of the potion.

If Chen Mo bought this potion, it would be really stupid, let alone 35 points, even if it was 20 points, whether anyone would buy it or not, it was not certain.

After all, this potion has unpredictable negative status, and if it is some kind of curse, it is really a terrible thing.

At the moment when the battlefield is in danger, no one dares to give their lives to such uncertain things.

After all, there is only one life, and there is no regret medicine.

Chen Mo shook his head and put the potion down.

The female catastrophe sighed silently, knowing that this guy was not easy to deceive, so she didn't say anything more.

After the two chatted a few more words, Chen Mo got up and left, he had to maximize the points in his hand.

Compared with the vast majority of stalls, silently waiting for passers-by to choose, there are also some stalls, almost surrounded by people, obviously selling rare treasures.

The natural disasters are scrambling to squeeze inside, at this time, it is often the easiest to attract the attention of nearby inspectors, and they will take the initiative to come and inspect, but the crowded natural disasters are like a group of penguins spending the winter, constantly pushing and shoving, and there will be various verbal threats during the period.

In this case, the less powerful natural disasters are often pushed out by others, and then leave as if they were unlucky.

And for a starving ghost like Chen Mo, he doesn't even have the qualifications to join in the fun.

Before he knew it, Chen Mo had been strolling around the square for a day.

During this period, he stopped in front of more than a dozen stalls, and half of the stall owners lost interest in communicating after taking a look at him, and a few of them drove him away directly, but there were finally a few stall owners with a more easy-going temperament, and Chen Mo got a lot of useful information in the communication with them.

For example, when it comes to the basic price of white quality equipment, he knows a little.

There are not many stalls selling white quality equipment in the square, and the natural disasters with a little conditions, after getting the white quality equipment, often choose to hand it over directly to the portal after the mission is over, and recycle, although the income is pitiful, only a single digit, but it is worry-free and saves time.

Only those low-level natural disasters who have no ability will try to sell these white quality equipment, wasting time and talking about those few points.

Night.

As there were fewer and fewer people in the square, Chen Mo also returned to the academy.

"What's the matter, our traveler rich man, have you bought the right equipment?"

Charcoal asked with a bit of a weird look.

Chen Mo could hear the sourness in the other party's tone.

However, in the past few months, he has also become accustomed to the other party's clever behavior, and he didn't say anything, just lay on the bed, recalling the attributes of the white quality equipment he saw today, as well as the small props that could be used in the trial of the hungry ghosts.

Seeing that Chen Mo ignored himself, Charcoal's expression was a little proud.

He and Du Fangyan on the side were constantly discussing something, it seemed that they were talking about the plan in the trial, Charcoal was a lot smarter, and he found a lot of gossip, but he didn't mean to call Chen Mo, gradually, the voices of the two were louder, obviously intentionally, so that Chen Mo took the initiative to ask to join, so as to blackmail Chen Mo to give some benefits, nothing more than borrowing natural disaster contribution points and the like.

After understanding all this, Chen Mo really felt funny in his heart.

If he wanted to make such a man of character his captain, he would rather complete the trial alone.

From the first day of school, Du Qingqing was bullied by Luyi, but the leader of the weak member team was indifferent, even gloating, Chen Mo had already felt disappointed, and the next three months of life undoubtedly strengthened his belief.

As for Han Xue, it is estimated that he will not team up with them.

In this way, this squad leader can also be with Du Fangyan and Du Qingqing, and it is ridiculous that he still wants to isolate and threaten himself now.

He may still subconsciously think of himself as the ragged newcomer who almost starved to death.

By the way, Du Qingqing has already followed Luyi.

If she is protected by Luyi, this guy can only be in a group with Du Fangyan.

With the strength of these two people, Chen Mo really has no interest in cooperating.

After all, judging from the daily conversation between the two, their main basic skills seem to be still at the stage of Lv3 and Lv4, and their basic attributes are also a mess.

And the personalities of these two people are also very problematic.

One can only play clever, it is difficult to become a big tool, and the other is cowardly to death, which is no different from waste.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo simply turned around and continued to think about the consumption of his 76 points.

Power stones can be sold at any time and converted into points, so you don't have to worry about that.

As for the three gems given to him by the Qinghong mentor, after careful consideration, Chen Mo felt that the mentor should have a deeper consideration, and he was likely to use them during the trial, so it was better not to use them to exchange points for the time being, and it was better to keep them.

Besides, this is a piece of the mentor's heart after all.

According to today's situation, Chen Mo judged that the white quality equipment should only be the excessive equipment in the initial stage of the Cataclysm, even if the first-level Cataclysmic Predators temporarily wore white quality equipment, they would be replaced quickly, so there was no need to pursue the quality of the equipment.

Similar to today's pair of shoes that increase Qi and Blood by 14 points, it is enough.

It's just that in terms of price, there is obviously a lot of room for negotiation.

After all, if these equipment are handed over to the portal as a magic resource to recover, the natural disaster contribution points they can obtain are generally only in single digits, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In this case, if you seize the opportunity and do your best to get together the most basic four-piece set of weapons, armor, helmets, and shoes, even if the attributes are poor, it doesn't matter.

With only 76 points, that's quite a daunting task.

There are still three days left before the Starving Ghost Trial, which will also be Chen Mo's ultimate goal.
