The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 222 Spending Money at the Special Operations Bureau (Part 1)

Actually, it's because I don't have money.

The total assets of the three are 1134 (1135 after upgrading the Blood Bead, and another newspaper was bought at the station).

"Where is Miss Yaochi?" Judging from Zheng Qing's expression, according to the Special Operations Bureau's intelligence, Yaochi was definitely a wealthy woman.

"Let's take another look," Yaochi said with a smile, repeating Li Qianxia's words.

The five people walked forward about five steps and came to the second incubation tank. The three special operations players who were standing there earlier made way for them.

The shopping aisle was bustling with people, and many players were selecting items.

Li Changzhou searched carefully, hoping to find the legendary only player who survived from the 'Master's' clutches—the Little Martial Saint.

"The second prop is the nameplate knife."

Before Zheng Qing could press the button, Li Qianxia exclaimed, "I know this! It's equipment that grants immunity to fatal damage and continuous immunity to damage, preventing you from being instantly killed by your opponent or dying instantly yourself!"

She was referring to the game equipment in "Honor of Kings".

"...It's not that powerful." Zheng Qing pressed the button.

In the demonstration video, there is also a soldier whose face is not clearly visible, holding a Tang sword.

"Take root to the ground!" As the processed soldier's voice rang out, the grooves in the blade lit up with light.

The soldier plunged his sword into the ground, and the green energy, symbolizing healing power, was drawn from the earth by the sword and then entered the soldier's body.

The soldier used a dagger to cut a gash in his palm, and the cut healed at a visible speed under the blue aura.

"A 'Mingdao' is a sword inscribed with runes that have various effects. It can also enhance strength, speed, and physique. Even an ordinary person can become a martial arts master by wielding it, but it has one drawback," Zheng Qing explained, gesturing for everyone to continue reading.

In the scene, the soldier tries to walk away, but his legs won't budge. Even after being hit, he remains standing in the same spot.

It has truly taken root here!

"The more powerful the inscription, the stronger the binding effect of the inscription. For example, an inscription that says 'One man can hold the pass against ten thousand men' means that no matter how dangerous the battle is, one must never retreat a single step."

"What would happen if we retreated?" Yang Qinglan's gaze remained fixed on the Mingdao·Luodishenggen.

“First of all, it’s very difficult to retreat under the constraints of the inscription. If you do retreat… you’ll be killed by the blade,” Zheng Qing said.

"What about the effect of that knife? I mean, the knife engraved with the inscription 'One man can hold the pass against ten thousand'?" Li Qianxia asked.

"Gain divine power that makes you invincible and an endless source of stamina. Here is a catalog of the nameplates; you can look at them yourselves."

Zheng Qing pointed to the menu button in front of the culture tank.

Li Qianxia held out her finger, about to count, but then turned back to Zheng Qing and asked, "How much?"

Zheng Qing was amused by her stuttering: "It depends on the specific inscription. This 'Rooted in the Ground' only costs 1000, but you can buy it for 800."

“...I’m used to using a gun.” Li Qianxia withdrew her finger.

Yang Qinglan, however, used her slender, fair fingers to slide through the menu, looking at each item one by one.

She didn't want to buy it; she wanted to remember the information and broaden her knowledge.

“We also have guns. Although they’re called ‘inscribed knives,’ you can actually engrave inscriptions on any weapon,” Zheng Qing said.

"Officer Zheng, have you mastered the technology of engraving inscriptions?" Li Changzhou asked her.

"Um."

"How much would it cost for a custom order? I'd like to have inscriptions engraved on my sword and gun."

After listening to the logistics team's opinions for a while, Zheng Qing replied:

"If you provide the materials yourself, the price will be lower. The exact price depends on the inscription; the more powerful the inscription, the higher the price. Of course, your materials must be able to withstand the power of the inscription."

The Emerald Bee Sword is definitely fine.

Li Qianxia's Crimson Steel Spear... can be upgraded using the beak of a ground sparrow (materials obtained previously).

Immediately, Li Changzhou asked Zheng Qing if the weapon could be upgraded and inscribed with runes.

“No problem, and if we have the materials, we can upgrade your weapon for free. It’s no trouble at all,” Zheng Qing replied immediately.

"Great!" Li Qianxia immediately spread her hands and began to take the mosquito-type blood-sucking gun and the beak of the ground sparrow.

This gun has been with her since the very first game; it was bought for her by Yang Qinglan, and she wants to keep using it as long as possible.

Li Changzhou also took out the Emerald Bee Sword.

Yang Qinglan did not remove the Emerald Bee Sword from her hair. The two swords were of one mind. When one sword became stronger and was destroyed, the other sword also became stronger and was destroyed.

Li Changzhou's Emerald Bee Sword has inscriptions, so she can use it as well.

“You can find the inscriptions you want in the catalog,” Zheng Qing said.

Li Changzhou leaned closer and whispered to Yang Qinglan, who was flipping through the catalog, "Which one should we choose?"

"this?"

"A promise is a promise? Every promise made to the enemy adds a thousand pounds of burden to them; the constraint is something I must fulfill. Hmm—I will definitely marry you?"

"You want me to live the rest of my life carrying a thousand pounds?"

The two discussed it, and Li Qianxia added, "Remember to choose one for me too!" Then she looked at Yaochi, who was standing to the side.

"Sister Yaochi, don't you need one? I think this looks a lot like a Zanpakuto, Bankai!" Li Qianxia thought she looked incredibly cool.

"I don't like things that restrict me; I only like restricting others," Yaochi said with a smile, uttering words that were off-putting.

“Even without reciting the inscription, the weapon remains the same; the inscription can serve as an emergency measure in critical moments,” Zheng Qing said.

Yaochi thought about it and still refused.

"Qianxia," Yang Qinglan called softly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you find someone suitable for me?" Li Qianxia immediately moved closer, squeezing between Yang Qinglan and her older brother, and put her hands on their shoulders.
