Chapter 263 Taking Precautions, Shop Closure

Long Shisan was also furious: "It must be her! She's the one who completed the task of opening the service area. She did it on purpose!"

Zhang Kuang: "Damn it!"

Jian Lin chuckled, "Hey, Zhang Kuang, you're already a master's disciple, do you still need to go to the service area?"

Jin Baiwan: "Yeah, Zhang Kuang, I remember you said that if you don't go into the service area, neither will your gang. What, are you going back on your word now?"

Zhang arrogantly retorted, "Of course I don't regret it!"

Luo Mingxin: "Okay, Chief Zhang, please keep your word!"

Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth and privately messaged Long Shisan: "What exactly happened?"

Long Shisan was also confused: "How would I know? Lady Yingyue has been with us the whole time!"

Zhang Kuang: "My question is—why are service areas off-limits to visitors?"

Long Shisan paused for a moment: "Ji Xinghan is very strange; he can complete many tasks that others cannot!"

Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth: "Kill her!"

Long Shisan: "Go find Master Chongyue. Isn't he a master alchemist?"

Zhang Kuang glanced at the wooden house not far away, holding back his anger: "The master is resting; we'll have to wait a while before we can ask him."

Zhang Kuang and Long Shisan were about to vomit.

It's not a problem that they can't go into the service area; the problem is that none of their gang members can get in.

I can't even ask someone to bring it out.

Moreover, many members were very unhappy because they couldn't access the service area, and quite a few left the guild.

Unfortunately, after leaving the guild, they were unable to access the service area.

Immediately, the chat channels of the Madman Gang and the Flying Dragon Gang were filled with complaints.

Zhang Kuang and Long Shisan were in a complete mess.

In just a short while, one-tenth of the gang members have disappeared!

On the other side, Ji Xinghan collected the wolf blood, gave the remaining mutton to the Black Wolf King, made a reservation for fresh blood for tomorrow, and then quickly had Jian Lin take him to the entrance of a service area.

It's getting late, she should hurry inside.

Jian Lin was waiting at the door. She had some beast teeth and blood, and had already bought some potions and cards.

Ji Xinghan entered the service area.

This is a huge square lined with shops, but there aren't many people inside. Right now, most players are collecting resources to exchange for gold coins, and many people take a quick look around and then leave.

Ji Xinghan strolled around.

Closest to the entrance are the self-service task machine, the self-service membership card redemption machine, and the gold coin exchange machine.

According to Jian Lin's introduction, Ji Xinghan first went to the membership card self-service machine and applied for a membership card.

It's very simple; it uses facial recognition and quickly issues a diamond membership card.

The membership card is engraved with sparkling white diamonds.

After getting the membership card, Ji Xinghan went to the coin exchange machine to complete the task.

Sure enough, there were many tasks on it, and the resources to be collected were all very strange; they were obviously for making medicine.

At the most important point of the redemption task

[1 gram of 100% purebred black wolf blood is worth 10 gold coins!]

She clicked it.

Please add the Black Wolf Blood to the redemption machine!

She placed a jar of black wolf blood on it, and with a "whoosh," the entire jar disappeared.

[There are 1200 grams of Black Wolf Blood available. You can exchange it for one gold coin. Would you like to exchange?]

Ji Xinghan: ...

This redemption machine is so domineering. She's already swallowed the Black Wolf Blood, how could she not redeem it?

"yes!"

Please insert your membership card!

Ji Xinghan inserted the membership card into the slot.

[Membership Card: Ji Xinghan; Balance: !]

Please collect your card!

With a "click," the membership card was ejected.

Now you can start shopping!

She first browsed through various pharmacy stores, and then went to the card vending machine.

In addition to basic cards, the card vending machine offers many more, such as a "virus detection card" that can identify half of the viruses.

In this way, ordinary players can use the virus identification card to identify the virus for themselves and then take the medicine.

Ji Xinghan certainly didn't need these.

She flipped through the cards and found one type of card—a card upgrade card.

[Card Upgrade: This card can be used to upgrade any card. The success rate is 10%. If the upgrade fails, both the upgraded card and the card itself will become invalid.]

[Price: 1000 Gold Coins!]

This is the most expensive type of card!

Ji Xinghan took a liking to it.

She currently has quite a few cards, including all sorts of rare ones, but they are all ordinary cards.

After all, these are the cards that are currently circulating in the market; high-level cards are extremely rare.

It would be great if we could upgrade it!

The success rate is quite low, only 10%, so most people wouldn't buy it and waste their money.

Ji Xinghan thought about it and realized that this kind of card would definitely be useful in a critical moment, but it was a bit extravagant.

Fortunately, she didn't need to buy too many potions, which saved her gold coins.

She bought three upgrade cards and some other basic cards, spending a total of 4,500 gold coins, and then went to other shops.

Next to the pharmacy, she found a protective equipment store.

The store has all kinds of gas masks, face masks, disinfectant, gas shavings, gas vests, etc.

The price isn't low!

These things have a limited lifespan and are subject to wear and tear; a gas mask can only be used for 7 days.

Ji Xinghan thought about it and decided to buy these things tomorrow.

She returned to the pharmacy and purchased some small pills for emergency use. These antidotes could delay the onset of the virus and had some antiviral effects.

Prices vary, with lower-grade ones being cheaper at 10 gold coins each, while higher-grade poison pills cost 100 gold coins each.

Ji Xinghan bought 10.

She went on a shopping spree here, but the others weren't so lucky. Time was too short, everyone was collecting supplies and rushing back to exchange for gold coins, etc. Only a very small number of people bought anything.

Ji Xinghan looked at her hand and realized she only had 6,500 gold coins left.

She stopped; the gold coins had a greater use.

At the same time, she was also worried that Zhang Kuang hadn't spoken in the chat channel for a long time.

Something's not right!

No, she decided to stick to her original plan and buy as many cards as possible to deal with the challenges ahead.

Ji Xinghan strode out of the pharmacy.

As soon as I stepped out, the shop door creaked shut.

Ji Xinghan turned around and looked curiously, then heard the notification: [Shop closed, please leave the service area as soon as possible!]

Store closed?

Why?

Ji Xinghan was startled. At the same time, several people ran out from the other shops, looking bewildered: "What happened? I haven't bought anything yet, why are the shops closed?"

A broadcast sounded across the square:

Please leave the service area as soon as possible, as it will close in 10 minutes!

Ji Xinghan was shocked again. Not only were the shops closing, but the service area was also going to close?

not good!

She looked around and saw many players coming out of the shop, looking at each other in confusion, wondering what had happened.

Ji Xinghan turned around and pushed the door, but the door wouldn't open no matter what he did.

Announcement continues: [Please leave the service area as soon as possible. The service area will be closed in 5 minutes!]
