Chapter 7 A Bold Deal
The person being surrounded was a man. He was tall and obviously taller than the people surrounding him, so Lu Jiu saw him at a glance.
The man had handsome features, a high nose bridge, soft lip lines, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, appearing elegant and refined, but this did not mean that he looked gentle and approachable.
"Since you're offering it in exchange, you know we don't have anything that good. We're all human, so helping each other is the right thing to do."
This was the first sentence Lu Jiu heard when he approached. He couldn't help but ask himself why he didn't take out the good things and give them to others for free.
"What card do you have? Maybe I can trade with you."
Shen Jufeng was considering leaving here and trying somewhere else, but he unexpectedly heard a girl ask him.
"A magician class card. I only want to exchange for class cards other than this one, not skill cards."
He needs to activate his profession and skills as soon as possible to deal with the wild monsters that frequently appear.
When he heard it was a magician class card, Lu Jiu decided to get it.
Now she has gold coins, and she doesn't know if this person is willing to exchange them. But if she takes out gold coins, wouldn't it be too strange? After all, no one she has met has ever taken out money.
Thinking about it this way, she can only exchange precious professions for profession cards. If she exchanges more than a dozen collection cards, the other party will ignore her.
"I have a Warrior class card, can I exchange it?"
She was riding on a cloud last night and found two colored cards, one blue and one gold, in the canopy of a giant tree.
The gold one is the warrior class card, but archer and warrior cannot be trained at the same time, and she originally wanted to keep the warrior class card to see if she could exchange it for a magician class card.
Shen Jufeng's expression remained unchanged, "Okay, let's go change somewhere else."
When the people around heard that they all had professional cards, although they were jealous, no one took action.
Lu Jiu was ready to fight and leave, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so tactful.
A group of people watched them leave, but their eyes were extremely vicious, as if they wanted to skin them alive.
The two of them walked away from the crowd, and then Shen Jufeng took the lead in handing her the career card.
Lu Jiu took the card, looked up and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will immediately activate my skills to trick you?" He gave the card so straightforwardly.
Shen Jufeng smiled faintly, his expression unclear, and said, “Then I will deal with you directly.”
Lu Jiu suddenly felt a chill on his neck. This was truly a tough character. However, in this case, this person probably had more than one magician class card.
"You're a bit too confident. I'm not sure who will defeat you. I don't need a Warrior Class Card, and I don't have any fighting skills."
Lu Jiu gave it straightforwardly, and Shen Jufeng looked at the warrior card and immediately used it to activate his profession.
Then he stared at Lu Jiu and asked, "What is your other profession?"
Lu Jiu thought this man was really smart, and his combat ability was definitely not low, but he also felt that there was nothing to hide, so he replied: "Archer, I just happened to get the skills and weapons, and I don't want to become a shield guard, so I have been looking for a magician class card."
"Do you want to form a team? I've unlocked my profession and learned some skills." This was the first person he had met in a few days that he liked, and his strength should be quite good.
Lu Jiu watched him from beginning to end, "Okay, are you a player too?"
The equipment on this man is from the game. Many people are still wearing their original clothes, and the number of people who have changed into game costumes like her can be counted on one hand. When she saw other players, she just watched from a distance. This was the first time she had such close contact with them.
Shen Jufeng glanced at his clothes, "What player?"
Lu Jiu was stunned. He refused to admit it. "Although your equipment is the cheapest set in the mall, I can still recognize it."
She has a male character, but it is a small character and has few equipment.
Shen Jufeng thought things were getting interesting. "This is what I got from defeating the mutant monster. So, can you tell me about the game you mentioned?"
This was something she had never expected. So far, she had only encountered three red-eyed rabbits and had never seen a mutated one.
I feel like I've let myself down, but there's nothing I can do. Let's just sit down and talk it over.
"I played a game before, and at first I thought it was just a rip-off. Many of the props had no specific uses. I played for quite a while, and then yesterday the game suddenly announced it would be shut down. Then when I woke up the next day, the world had changed."
Shen Jufeng learned about the situation. It turned out that the game had been preparing for a long time, allowing some players to get equipment in advance, so that everyone was not starting from the same starting line.
"So that's how it is. That means you're definitely not the only one like this."
"I don't know about that." Lu Jiu only knew that when the game was closed, there were not many players left.
To show his sincerity, Shen Jufeng showed her his skills, and Lu Jiu realized that he was a big shot, the kind that relied on strength.
Shen Jufeng is a warrior/magician dual-class player with only one skill.
Ring of Death - Shield Guard/Warrior/Mage skill, creates a 50*50 meter ring of death around itself that covers the battlefield and is inescapable. Any attack from teammates and itself within the range of the ring has a random chance of killing the opponent with one hit, i.e. the opponent will die instantly; it will cause the opponent to fall into confusion for 15 seconds, with a 15-minute cooldown.
This is really a good skill, worthy of being called the Ring of Death. Although it only has a 1% chance of a one-hit kill effect, it is a win once it is triggered.
Shen Jufeng could see Lu Jiu's envy, but her own skills were also amazing, even better than his.
"Actually, I have another skill card, but I think it's useless with the crowd control skill. If you have other skills that suit my profession, we can exchange them."
After that, Shen Jufeng showed her the skill introduction of that card.
Mist Flower - Magician/Archer skill, creates flower-like mist within a 50*50 meter range that blurs the opponent's vision for 10 minutes, with a 1-hour cooldown; adds a 10% bonus to normal attacks, adds a random amount of magic damage every 10 seconds, and randomly triggers a one-hit kill effect.
This skill is simply tailor-made for her. Although she already has Instant Hit and Bloodthirst, she will be even stronger with Mist Flower, especially the randomly triggered one-hit kill effect that makes her envious.
"I do have a skill card. It's not suitable for me, but it's very suitable for warriors and shield guards." He showed him the card.
Thorn Armor - Shield Guard/Warrior skill card that counters 50% damage.
Just a few words show the power of this skill. Once you learn this, you will be a killer on the battlefield. You can even return half of the damage your opponent inflicts on you. How can you still have fun?
Shen Jufeng was also surprised by the power and rogueness of this skill, "Are you sure you want to trade with me?"
"Why not? We are both satisfied with each other's cards, so it doesn't matter if we change them." She couldn't use this skill anyway.
The two were very satisfied to get the skill cards they wanted, and they both felt stronger after learning them.
The two of them traveled together, encountering various wild monsters on the way, and often met people who were traveling together. During this period, Lu Jiu had been observing this temporary teammate. This person's actions were quick and decisive, and very deterrent.
Especially during their wandering, they discovered that city-states had emerged. When Shen Jufeng saw the management in the city-states, he told her about the management flaws and what hidden dangers there would be in the future.
Lu Jiu felt that this was a professional, and was much better than her in management. Gradually, she made a plan in her mind.
She has an order to build a city. It is very simple to build a city-state, as long as you have an idea in your mind. But after it is built, should you do it casually for fun or manage it well?
She had observed that as the number of city-states gradually increased, there were still many people living in each city-state. If they were not managed properly, it would easily lead to troublesome problems.
Taking this into consideration, she did not decide which city-state to settle down in during her wandering. First, she had not found a decent place. Second, as the old saying goes, a small temple has strong demons, and a shallow pond has many turtles. She encountered too many strange things in the city.
Moreover, Lu Jiu gradually learned that this teammate was called Shen Jufeng. Before the game came, he was a company boss. He was young, promising, rich and handsome, a typical Mary Sue president character.
He is a complete professional in managing a city-state. The key is how to convince him and prevent him from threatening you.
Shen Jufeng also talked about his own story. When the world suddenly changed, he was returning from a business trip. He had just returned from the airport in the early morning. On the way home, he heard a voice asking him if he was willing to exchange all his assets for gold coins.
Lu Jiu hurriedly asked, "Did you change it? I agreed in a daze."
"Although I was curious about where the sound came from, I was curious about how someone could speak in my ear without being detected. If it was a scam, I'm fully capable of dealing with it, so I agreed. Then I found a backpack with a lot of gold coins in it."
Fortunately, he agreed out of curiosity at the time, as these gold coins will definitely be useful in the future.
After starting a new profession and acquiring new skills, the two decided to take it slow, preferably to practice their skills when encountering groups of monsters.
Although Lu Jiu has a large number of props and equipment, he knows nothing about those monsters and cannot be careless.
Lu Jiu was still asking Shen Jufeng how to use the skills, as she had never used them since she learned them.
The two of them were walking together in the forest when suddenly Lu Jiu was attacked and her health was reduced by 25. This meant that something was attacking her, but they had not seen it yet.
