Chapter 515 Two pages of diary


    "What?!"


    The fat businessman''s eyes almost popped out of his head: "I help you find things, but you have to pay for it yourself?"


    Not only the fat businessman, but also his own people behind him stared at Luo Jun in disbelief.


    Are you willing to kill yourself by bargaining like this?


    However, Luo Jun spread his hands and said matter-of-factly: "What else?"


    "If I hadn''t seen you as a regular customer, I would have closed the window and left right now!" Even the fat businessman''s usually kind face couldn''t help but tremble a few times.


    "Then tell me, how much is appropriate?" Luo Jun gave the initiative to the other party.


    In the end, after a period of push and pull between the two parties, the deal was finally settled at a price of 2,500 yuan, but a deposit of 10,000 yuan had to be left.


    After paying the money and leaving the Endless Store, everyone else looked at Luo Jun with admiration.


    "Junior, my cerebellum shrank when I heard you asking for money from businessmen..." Sun Xiaowei patted her chest and said, "I was even afraid that you would break up the deal..."


    "I didn''t expect that I managed to bargain down to a quarter..." Ma Qiao also admired: "Is this the power of language? I''ve learned it. I''ve learned it."


    "I advise you not to learn blindly. The same set of words may have completely different effects when used by different people." Luo Jun immediately put an end to Ma Qiao''s thoughts. At this time, a notification sounded in his head.


    "Ding, the event was successful, the basic experience is 100 points, the severity factor is seven times, and the final experience point is 700."


    Just by cutting the price, there is a seven times seriousness factor?


    It seems that this missing diary does contain key information.


    Luo Jun clicked on his dice panel, and there was currently only one dice count left. He had no idea how long he had spent outside and when the count would be refreshed. Looking at the experience points, there are still more than 500 points left before leveling up.


    If you want to get more dice rolls, you must either use chips, or you have to use the last dice roll to gain more than five hundred experience points.


    But getting there shouldn''t be much of a problem.


    Luo Jun felt the flow of vitality in his body and nodded secretly.


    After leaving the store, everyone returned to the starting point to rest for a while, and then began the next round of exploration.


    It was still the original configuration. Luo Jun opened the map, and Li Ying on the side helped record the video. The others followed in formation, rushed all the way until the map time was up, and began to explore back along the video.


    Luo Jun really guessed it right. This time, he didn''t see a single store on the entire route, but there were more treasure boxes and relics than before.


    However, Luo Jun did not panic. The supplies in his hands were enough for everyone to continue to support them. Several people went back and started to clean up various special locations. When they returned to the starting point, in addition to a large number of silver ingots and copper plates, they also opened a treasure chest. Ten supplies were delivered.


    After these few times, they also discovered that the items found in the treasure chests are generally worth several thousand yuan, and the price may fluctuate. In most cases, they are given directly to silver ingots and copper plates, and occasionally other things, including props and supplies, are given. .


    After returning to the starting point, they tried to contact Ling Jian who was exploring alone outside. If they needed help, they could return to the starting point to meet everyone. The reply was that he was fine now and there was no need to worry, and that he was far away from the original point and it would be difficult to go back.


    "This kid has a lot of talent." Ma Qiao praised: "His surname is Ling, he must be from the Ling family, right?"


    "He didn''t mention it himself..." Mao Xintong said: "Based on my experience, people in the Ling family are very proud of their family, and they will mention it when introducing themselves during missions."


    "In my impression, none of the younger members of the Ling family have heard of this one." Mr. Yuan also shook his head. He had a wide network of contacts in the cultivation circle and had some friendship with the Ling family.


    "Since he said there is a way, let''s not interfere with other people''s freedom." Luo Jun spread his hands: "Let''s go, there is a map, I hope I can find the store this time!"


    Everyone set off again, choosing a direction that no one had ever traveled before, and ran wildly all the way.


    As they moved forward, everyone stared at the map projected in front of Luo Jun, expecting the icon representing the store to appear.


    However, the map refreshed rapidly, with icons representing monsters, mechanisms, and even treasure chests constantly appearing on it, but no store appeared.


    As time continues to pass, everyone has begun to become anxious. If they have not found the store this time, then their survival cycle will be interrupted. If they want to encounter the store again, they can only rely on luck to explore.


    "I mean Ronaldinho, isn''t it because you bargained too hard before and offended people?" Ma Qiao complained while pedaling his bicycle: "It''s better now. People just took the money and ran away. Not only did they lose a Ten thousand yuan, I can’t even find a store.”


    Luo Jun frowned, and he also thought of this possibility. But his intuition told him that Endless Store would not be so shameless.


    After all, when bargaining, the businessman is quite active. If he really wants to cheat him, he can just leave. There is no need to waste so many words with him.


    But Luo Jun still made a plan in his mind. If the store didn''t appear with fifteen minutes left, he would find a way to break away from the team and move forward at full speed at his top speed to increase the search range.


    As for how to explain it, we will talk about it later. After all, in this endless maze, there is no store and survival is a problem.


    As he continued to advance, the time left on the map became less and less. Luo Jun, who was running at the head, swallowed his saliva, glanced at Li Ying who was following him, and made a plan in his heart...


    But at this moment, Sun Xiaowei''s exclamation came from behind: "He appeared!"


    Luo Jun looked up and found that a store icon actually appeared on the map!


    Finally here... Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of ??using the backup plan. Immediately afterwards, he keenly noticed that Li Ying beside him also breathed a sigh of relief...


    Is he also looking forward to the store?


    This reaction made Luo Jun a little surprised, but it was not convenient to ask in detail now. The few people maintained their speed and rushed all the way until the end of the map.


    "Huh...huh...huh..."


    Running at a speed of more than 100 miles for an hour, even with the help of tools, Ma Qiao and Mao Xintong were a little overwhelmed. As soon as they stopped, they collapsed and gasped, and the energy in their bodies was not stable. Although Sun Xiaowei was riding an electric bicycle, her basic skills were the worst. In order to turn in time to avoid obstacles, she had to concentrate and was very tired at the moment. As for Zhuge Zi, this girl traveled more than half of the way by flashing. Although her physical strength was not that great, her vitality was a bit overwhelming. Even though she was wearing a consumption-reducing treasure, she took medicine several times along the way. Thanks to She also has a high-quality Qi storage treasure, otherwise she really wouldn''t be able to survive.


    Compared with these people, Luo Jun and Mr. Yuan looked much calmer. The two of them have a solid foundation and are among the best among cultivators, so running this way is no problem. On the other hand, Li Ying, who has been following Luo Jun these few times, has not used any external force to keep up with him at a fast pace. There is something indeed.


    After resting and recovering, everyone started to look back. After more than two days of exploration, after scanning all the special places they could find, they came to the only store. After knocking on the window, the fat businessman showed his face. He smiled when he saw Luo Jun: "Oh, little brother, you are here..."


    "You made it easy for me to find you." Luo Jun sighed: "I thought you were avoiding me on purpose."


    "How is that possible?" The fat businessman rubbed his hands: "You are a regular customer, I can''t even wait to see you!"


    "How''s the matter that I asked you about before?" Luo Jun got straight to the point and went straight to the point.


    The fat businessman chuckled and took out two pieces of paper: "I found two pages for you."


    "Hey!" Luo Jun''s eyes lit up when he heard it, and he reached out to take it. The people behind him couldn''t wait to get closer.


    "You still have five thousand that you deposited with me. Do you want to return it to you?" the businessman asked.


    "Don''t worry, let''s talk after we finish reading!" Luo Jun picked up the first page and started reading.


    "Ling Yue is also dead, and I was also seriously injured. Although I tried my best to escape, my body can no longer hold on. You can''t eat the food in the black store, no matter how hungry you are."


    "It seems my life is about to end here..."


    "Unexpectedly, I couldn''t get out in the end. This maze is not as simple as we thought. There are too many hidden things. Unfortunately, we knew it too late."


    "When I failed the special task last month and fell back to Class A, I joked that I could relax for a while. Unexpectedly, I lost my life on the first task."


    "But my sacrifice cannot be in vain. My treasure box should remain in the maze forever as a relic. It contains my diary, which records my experiences in the maze these days."


    "These experiences should serve as a warning to future generations. In order to guarantee the opening of the diary, I emptied all the treasures, leaving only this diary, and then wrote on my clothes, ''Please use my The Relic Summoning Noble Phantasm has the words "Key to Breaking the Situation" in it, so that people won''t waste my relics in exchange for supplies and the like..."


    "I hope that my diary will be helpful to future generations. If someone can rely on my diary to escape this maze, I will die in peace..."


    …


    After reading the diary, everyone couldn''t help but sigh.


    Obviously, this is the last page of Zhuge Qian''s diary and his last voice before his death.


    "Senior Zhuge said he wrote something on his clothes, Xiao Zi, did you see it?" Mao Xintong asked.


    Zhuge Zi shook his head: "When I saw my grandfather''s body, the clothes were basically rotten and I couldn''t read the words at all. I only recognized it from the shape of the treasure box."


    "Xiao Ganzi''s hard work was almost lost to time." Mr. Yuan sighed: "If it hadn''t been picked up by my granddaughter by chance, this relic would have been wasted in exchange for supplies or something like that."


    "But this last page doesn''t have any substantive content." Ma Qiao complained.


    "There is still some key information." Luo Jun shook his head: "First of all, you can''t eat things from black stores. Although there are no consequences for eating them, we must definitely avoid them in the future."


    "Then, as we guessed before, the way to leave by gathering the ultimate props from the Black and White Shop should not be feasible."


    After hearing this, Sun Xiaowei asked puzzledly: "Why?"


    "Because grandpa mentioned something, it was too late to know..." Zhuge Zi explained: "In the previous diary, grandpa saw the product catalog of the black and white store very early and figured out how to leave the maze. But this last page said It''s not that simple. It means that the method of guessing before should not work..."


    "Why is this?!" Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei said in disappointment.


    "But at least the old man believes that his diary can help future generations leave." Mao Xintong encouraged: "Even if the previous path didn''t work, he must have discovered other methods. Let''s look at another page."


    Luo Jun nodded, picked up another page and read it.


    "I finally came across another store today."


    "We exchanged ten portions of food first. We haven''t eaten for almost two days. It''s not a good feeling to be hungry while holding a pile of silver coins."


    "We have a total of more than 30,000 banknotes in our hands. We are still far away from redeeming the final exit indicator, but we can''t continue to bump around like headless flies. After discussion, we spent 5,000 to exchange for a portable map. If we find it again, If you don’t go to the store, just use the portable map to search, which should improve your efficiency a lot.”


    "Shortly after leaving the store, we encountered another Chaos monster."


    "Damn, it''s such a troublesome thing again. This kind of monster''s physical attacks are almost ineffective, and its various resistances are also very high. Even Chen Jin''s flames are difficult to kill. We want to avoid it, but A Liang''s The guy noticed the movement and actually followed him. These monsters have no fixed form. This one transformed into a leopard and was very fast. We couldn''t get rid of it. In the end, we used illusion to trick it away and got out of the entanglement. "


    …


    This page is obviously relatively early in the lost diary. A Liang and Chen Jin are mentioned in the diary. Combined with what was mentioned before, Ling Yue was the last one to die before Zhuge Qian. It can be seen that the four people Are still alive now.


    "Another page with no nutrition..." Ma Qiao complained: "Does this look like it follows the next page in the diary?"


    "No!" Luo Jun shook his head: "There must have been this page before, and the content is very strange."


    "What''s weird?" Others asked puzzledly.


    "Why go around it?" Luo Jun frowned and said, "Chaos monsters will obviously explode gold ingots, and Senior Zhuge has killed them before. Normally, one should be eager to meet monsters, exchange for ingots, and go to the black store to redeem them. Materials are the right thing, why would you choose to bypass it?”


    After he said this, everyone also reacted: "Yes, are they injured? Are they inconvenient to fight?"


    "The reason for not wanting to fight this kind of monster has been written very clearly in the diary. If there is a reason for injury, I will definitely mention it." Zhuge Zi shook his head and said: "They bypassed the monster and even mentioned the matter of the gold ingot. I didn’t mention it, there must be other reasons.”


    Luo Jun nodded in agreement and analyzed: "If I guessed correctly, something must have happened to them before that, resulting in no need for gold ingots..."
