Chapter 506 Endless Store
"Hey, there is really everything on this list. There are also daily necessities, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc., which can be exchanged for more than ten yuan... There is also a change of clothes and the like..." Ma Qiao sighed as he flipped through the booklet.
"In special times, save whatever you don''t need." Luo Jun said, "The main thing is to see if you have the necessities of life. Food and water are more important!"
Ma Qiao turned a page and suddenly his eyes widened: "One person''s daily supply of water and food costs more than two hundred yuan? Doesn''t that mean that a treasure box can only last four days? The four of us can only survive One day?”
"I think one day is too much..." Sun Xiaowei looked at the slightly dim maze around her: "I don''t want to stay in this place for more than a minute!"
"It''s not up to us how long we can stay..." Luo Jun looked at the booklet: "In addition to food supplies and daily necessities, they are basically conventional weapons."
"These weapons have little exchange value. There are some special props at the back, but they are also very expensive." Mr. Yuan said.
"Indeed..." Luo Jun turned the page directly, and as expected, props worth thousands began to appear. For example, a wall-through door that can open a door directly on the current wall is worth 1,000 yuan; a teleportation beacon that can be placed somewhere in the maze and can be teleported back within an hour is worth 1,500 yuan; and there is also a teleportation beacon that can guide the nearest person. The guide bee where the relics of the ancestors are located is worth 1,200 yuan...
"A relic only sells for one thousand, but the props used to guide the relics actually cost one thousand and two? This profiteer is too shady!" Ma Qiao curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then quietly said: "How about we smash the store and just grab it!"
"No!" Luo Jun shook his head and said, "This endless maze is so unpredictable. Who knows who this businessman is. If any punishment is triggered, it will be troublesome."
Of course, Luo Jun stopped Ma Qiao not only because he was afraid of the consequences. When he first saw the store, he took out his life-seeing glasses and looked at the success rate of the robbery. The result showed that the difficulty was 101, indicating that the robbery was a no-brainer. It is estimated that this businessman is not a real person at all, and the props he sells are not here. They were probably teleported to this location at the moment the deal was concluded.
"This thing is very useful!" Sun Xiaowei suddenly pointed to a prop: "The portable map, after activation, can display the terrain within one kilometer around you in real time within one hour, and can mark important locations and encounters!"
"But it won''t mark the exit..." Ma Qiao curled his lips: "That''s basically useless, not to mention that the exchange costs 5,000 yuan, which is too expensive!"
"That''s also very useful." Luo Jun nodded: "At present, it is certain that the endless maze will be a long-lasting task. Finding the exit will definitely not happen overnight. What we need to consider more is how to survive here. Can we mark the Key locations can at least help search for supplies.”
"Is there any prop that can mark the exit?" Sun Xiaowei asked.
"That must be worth a lot of money. Let''s flip through it." Ma Qiao started flipping from the back and saw the prop at the end.
"Haha, sure enough, there is an exit indicator. When activated, it can indicate the straight direction of the exit. It lasts for one hour and is worth... one hundred thousand yuan?"
"What kind of thing is this? It''s worth only 100,000 yuan? And it can only be used for one hour?" Ma Qiao looked shocked: "If we don''t find the exit within an hour, isn''t the money wasted?"
"It''s almost certain that we won''t find it within an hour." Luo Jun snorted coldly: "Didn''t you see that it says a straight line? If you don''t give a path, just give a direction. Who can find it in this three-dimensional maze? ?”
"Then what''s the point of this thing?" Sun Xiaowei didn''t understand either.
"This may be the only clue about the exit." Mr. Yuan said, "I just looked through it briefly, and except for this most expensive indicator, I didn''t see any other props about the exit. And such vague instructions are very expensive. Wan, if there is something more specific, it will definitely be more difficult to obtain.”
"Don''t think about 100,000 points. Let''s first study whether we can replace the portable map." Luo Jun suggested: "Now we only have one relic with us, which can be exchanged for 1,000 points. The remaining 4,000 points can only be used I’ve gone to change my Noble Phantasms. Do you have any Noble Phantasms that you don’t need? Can you all gather them together?”
"This..." Ma Qiao looked sad when he heard that he was going to contribute a precious phantom, but Sun Xiaowei was very generous: "I have an elite-level ring. Its effect is to randomly create a low-quality elixir every day, which is basically useless. "
As she said that, she actually took out a ring.
"This kind of treasure that can provide supplies is quite practical." Mr. Yuan said in surprise.
"You will know after using it. The effect is very useless." Sun Xiaowei shook his head and said: "The elixirs provided are all of the lowest quality. For example, the golden sore medicine can only slowly treat the skin and flesh, and the Huanyuan Dan can restore the five breaths of vitality. Painkillers that temporarily relieve pain, etc... How should I put it? Although it is produced by Noble Phantasm, its effect is not much stronger than ordinary drugs, and it cannot be accumulated. It will disappear if it is not used on the same day..."
Mr. Yuan looked at Sun Xiaowei''s clear eyes and shook his head. He said to himself that this girl is really thoughtful. Normally, when there is an opportunity to contribute to the team, one would try to make one''s losses as serious as possible, so that the benefits can be distributed later. Only when can you get more benefits for yourself. How could there be anyone like her who would say that what she paid for was so worthless...
After listening to Sun Xiaowei''s explanation, Luo Jun did not take her ring, but frowned thoughtfully, then opened the treasure box and took out a badge.
The effect of the Noble Phantasm mentioned by Sun Xiaowei reminded Luo Jun of a Noble Phantasm that he had sealed away in the treasure box.
The badge of the generous!
After this badge is activated, you can receive a sum of money every day, and the currency is based on the current world view and location. You can get Cathay coins in Cathay, you can get Federation coins in the Federation, you can get silver coins in [Wulin], you can get Empire banknotes in [Utopia]...
So, in the maze, can I get the currency here?
Luo Jun gave it a try, and after injecting his energy, a light flashed, and there was really a wad of banknotes in his hand. The face of the fat businessman was printed on it!
"It''s really okay!" Luo Jun exclaimed in surprise, and everyone else was shocked when they saw this scene: "Why did you still conjure money?"
Luo Jun didn''t answer, but picked up the ticket and counted it again. It was exactly three thousand yuan!
so much? !
Luo Jun was a little surprised. In reality, this badge of generosity can be exchanged for more than 3,000 yuan at a time. But the problem is that more than 3,000 Cathay coins are only a small amount of money to buy a mobile phone at most, but in this maze Three thousand yuan is enough to exchange for very high-end extraordinary props!
Could it be said that no matter where you are, you will be given three thousand yuan?
No... In reality, the more than 3,000 yuan exchanged are in parts, but the one given here is exactly 3,000 yuan... There should be a standard for giving money to badges, but what is it specifically?
Luo Jun flipped through the product brochure casually. Three thousand yuan can already buy special props, but the payment for badges will definitely not be based on such extraordinary items. Ordinary exchange items are cheaper, and most things are priced in varying amounts. , can be related to the number three thousand yuan Together... Luo Jun noticed a supply bag worth 300 yuan, which contained a day''s worth of water and food, as well as a small amount of daily necessities, such as a change of clothes, which could fully satisfy a certain quality of normal life, and was purchased in a package , cheaper than picking and choosing.
Three hundred yuan, ten is three thousand yuan...could it be said that the badge gives enough to live for ten days?
This makes sense, but when I think about giving more than three thousand at a time in reality... Who can be a good person who can spend more than three hundred a day? The prices in China are not so outrageous!
According to Luo Jun''s previous experience, one thousand yuan a month is more than enough to live in Ningdong. Even if ordinary people are not so frugal, they can still live well with one hundred yuan a day...
But after thinking about it, Luo Jun felt that it was not that simple... He used to have enough money for less than a thousand yuan a month. It was based on the premise of renting subsidies. If the rent was several hundred yuan, that small amount of relief would definitely not be enough. use. As for the old and small apartment he rented, at least in Ningdong, the living conditions must be below the average. If the conditions of the house were better, the cost of living would definitely be much higher...
By extension, if you consider the expenses in all aspects of life, including house purchase and decoration, car maintenance and gas, medical education, social insurance, leisure and entertainment, shopping and entertainment, Internet and phone bills, water, electricity, gas, etc., if they are spread equally to every day , the cost is definitely higher than imagined.
At least Ningdong, as a second-tier city, has an average pre-tax salary of 8,000 to 9,000, and a large number of people are in debt. Calculating this, if you want to live a relaxed and quality life, spending more than 300 a day is really not an exaggeration.
But in this endless maze, those miscellaneous expenses are gone. As long as food and hygiene are ensured, it is considered a quality of life, so a three hundred supply pack is a day''s expense.
It seems that in order to increase the pressure of survival in the mission, the price of basic materials is deliberately raised, but it actually strengthens the function of the generous badge in disguise?
Anyway, after getting 3,000 yuan, there is only a gap of 1,000 yuan left. Luo Jun rejected Sun Xiaowei''s ring. This kind of treasure phantom can provide supplies on a regular basis. No matter how useless it is, it can still be useful in this environment. .
Luo Jun came to the store with the tickets. His treasure box had hundreds of boxes, and it was stuffed with a lot of blue sky, green grass and white clouds that he picked up. There were also many things that he didn''t feel bad about selling.
After negotiating with the fat businessman, most of the ordinary-level Noble Phantasms cost less than 100 yuan, the fine-level ones cost about 300 to 500 yuan, and the rare-level ones can sell for thousands of yuan. Luo Jun just sold some junk and exchanged it for more than 2,000 yuan. .
Since there was no shortage of money, Luo Jun chose to keep the relics in case of emergencies. However, when operating, I used my body to cover it so that no one behind could see it.
He already had more than 5,000 yuan in his hand, but Luo Jun did not exchange it for the map. Instead, he used 3,000 yuan to exchange for ten supply packs.
Then, he took the remaining two thousand and stood in front of the store. After about a few dozen minutes, he picked up the generous badge and received another three thousand!
That''s right, it was already around eight o''clock in the evening when Luo Jun entered the mission. Now more than three hours have passed, exactly one day has passed, and the badge has been refreshed.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Jun''s dice were not refreshed.
The mission rules stated that the flow of time here is different from that outside. This reminded Luo Jun that he had encountered a similar situation in the Tower of Decision. At that time, the dice did not accelerate the cooling due to the acceleration of time.
This also shows that the external time has not passed zero now, and the time flow rate in the maze should be faster.
But from another perspective, the badge is clearly affected by the rules of the maze, but the dice still follow the standard time outside. Does this mean that the power of time distortion is not unbreakable? Then, does the other rules of the maze also apply? Where is the room for negotiation?
There is no clue yet, and more information needs to be collected, so Luo Jun redeemed the portable map first.
After returning with the map and ten supplies, Luo Jun first divided one portion into each other, and then put the rest into the smart equipment bag together with the map.
This newly acquired equipment comes with its own storage space. Although it cannot hold precious phantoms and cannot travel around the world with ordinary items, in this maze, ten cubic meters of space is enough to store a large amount of supplies.
By the way, even the jade bracelet was secretly taken in by Luo Jun. This shows that although this relic is a treasure box in name, it is not actually a treasure chest. This also explains why it cannot be opened with a treasure chest.
"I didn''t expect you to have so much inventory at such a young age?" After receiving the supplies, Ma Qiao smiled happily: "You just exchanged it for a thousand points?"
"It''s nothing. I happen to have a useless rarity that I want to sell, but it can''t be sold at a high price. I haven''t found a buyer yet. I just used it today."
"That''s amazing." Sun Xiaowei praised: "I just took out a sophisticated level and it felt very distressed."
You also know that I feel distressed. Just looking at your attitude, I thought you didn’t care at all...
It had been a few hours since everyone came in, and their physical strength was exhausted, so they simply started to eat something. The food in these supplies is very rich, not like compressed biscuits and nutritious pastes. It is only for providing nutrition, regardless of the type of taste. Everyone found an open space to spread out the food and enjoy it, which felt like a picnic.
After eating and drinking, Mr. Yuan used the talisman to send a message to others, briefly saying that there were exit clues in the store, and then everyone continued on their way.
Ma Qiao proposed using a map, but was rejected by Luo Jun. After all, the end of the road has not yet been reached. The map can indicate encounters and resource points, and can save lives at critical moments. Of course, it cannot be used lightly.
Everyone could only continue to move forward with luck and intuition, but this time, they were not as lucky as before. They walked for more than ten hours without encountering any special encounters.
"It''s too boring to go all the way..." Ma Qiao sighed: "It would be nice even if we meet a monster..."
"This is exactly the difficulty of the endless maze..." Mr. Yuan shook his head and said, "What defeats you may not be the monsters and mechanisms. It may be the maze itself and the unbearable loneliness."
Sun Xiaowei sighed: "It''s so difficult for the four of us together, but how painful it is for those who act alone..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Yuan frowned and took out the talisman. Someone sent a message!
