Upon hearing the system's explanation, Su Luo's expression turned serious. He opened the system's points shop and, as the system had said, to purchase the materials needed to make the regrowth elixir directly from the system, he needed to accumulate at least 5,000 points to unlock the process.
She only has a little over 1,000 points right now. Even if she works hard on tasks, it will take her several days or even longer to get to 5,000. Time waits for no one, so she might as well go to the Ghost Market Street.
Clicking on the map to locate her, the nearest Ghost Market Street was in another direction, exactly opposite to Noah's Base. She hadn't explored that area yet, so it was a good opportunity to go and explore it.
Without further ado, Su Luo left his adoptive father in the hut, with the Gourmet and Fortune taking turns looking after him. As soon as Painted Skin heard that they were going to the Ghost Market, he immediately volunteered.
Su Luo thought about it for a moment, and it made sense. After all, Painted Skin was the only one among them who ran a restaurant, so he should understand the ways of the Ghost Market better. Besides Painted Skin, Su Luo also brought Brain Brother along.
Self-defense and deterrence are still necessary.
A five-star high-level monster would definitely be a very high-level existence in their local monster market. If anyone wanted to rob them, they would have to think twice.
Instead of taking the bus, Su Luo selected a very durable Wuling Hongguang from his storage warehouse and set off towards the Ghost Market Commercial Street at full speed.
...
In the middle of the month, with the red moon overhead, it is the traditional monthly market day in the Ghost Market Street.
Normally, the commercial street has stalls and shops, but on market days, many star-level ghosts or ordinary ghosts from the surrounding area will come to the ghost market to sell their items. Where there are ghosts selling, there are ghosts coming to pick up bargains. Over time, the custom of ghost market auctions has gradually developed.
These were all things that the painted skin told Su Luo on the way. It can only be said that Su Luo was extremely lucky to have happened to be there during the market day in the middle of the month.
"After all, the auction date used to be the Ghost Festival in July. Now we don't have to wait until every year, but the date in the middle of the month has been set like this."
Driving the car to a point a few hundred meters away from the commercial street, Su Luo put on his hood and used the ability of the Painted Skin to slightly alter his appearance, acting as the Painted Skin's servant. Under the Painted Skin's surprised and excited gaze, he walked into the Ghost Market Commercial Street one after the other.
After a cloud of mist, Su Luo's eyes lit up as he looked around at the scenery. Apart from certain colors and decorations favored by the strange creatures, it was completely different from the ghost market depicted in TV dramas.
It really is a commercial street.
They even look at high-end shopping malls.
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have entered a two-star Mystery Item instance: Red City Mystery Market Street (The star rating of this market street is determined by the highest price of the goods that can be sold there; therefore, the star rating of the Mystery Market Street instance is based on the local market level.)'
'Bonus: Evaluation criteria for the Ghost Market Street: A Ghost Market Street with a maximum sellable value of 10,000 or less Nether Coins is rated one-star; a Ghost Market Street with a maximum sellable value greater than 10,000 but less than or equal to 100,000 Nether Coins is rated two-star; a Ghost Market Street with a maximum sellable value greater than 100,000 but less than or equal to 500,000 Nether Coins is rated three-star; a Ghost Market Street with a maximum sellable value greater than 500,000 but less than or equal to 1,000,000 Nether Coins is rated four-star.'
'Currently, the highest-level ghost market street appearing in China is a five-star ghost item dungeon, where items can be sold for up to two million ghost coins.'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have entered the two-star mystery dungeon, Red City Mysterious Market Street. Clear the dungeon within twelve hours to receive extra rewards.'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have unlocked your third two-star dungeon and gained 50 points.'
...
As soon as Su Luo entered the Ghost Market Commercial Street, the system voice in her mind didn't stop for a long time, and she gained a deeper understanding of the star rating of the commercial street.
The implication is that the Mysterious Items Street in Red City is only two stars, which means that the highest price that can be sold on this street is 100,000. Is clearing the level within twelve hours a freebie?
Moreover, the painted skin also told Su Luo that as long as the rules are not broken, there is generally no trouble in this strange market.
As for the rules of the Ghost Market Street...
A commercial street is a place where people naturally spend money.
According to the rules here, you have to make a purchase as soon as you enter the store. If you don't make a purchase, you might have to stay here. This is an extremely difficult rule for outsiders, but for Su Luo, it's a perfect fit for his profession.
She's an expert on consumption.
Following Huapi, they easily found the largest pharmacy on the commercial street. Huapi handed over the required medicinal herbs with a grin, and the shopkeeper glanced at them and frowned.
"Thousand Faces, what do you need all this for if you own a restaurant? Are you going to eat people to death?"
"It's none of your business. I run a restaurant and I make whatever I want for people to eat. Believe me or not, next time you come to my restaurant, I'll add some extra ingredients for you!"
Pharmacy owner: ...
Thank you for the invitation, but I will decline.
"Considering our long-standing friendship, I'll give you the lowest price on everything listed here. You know the market isn't good lately, so my prices are absolutely fair."
"But... we really don't have this Rejuvenating Herb in our shop." The pharmacy owner shook his head with a hint of regret. "This stuff is enough to qualify for a three-star Ghost Market. Where would we, a two-star Ghost Market, get our hands on it?"
As they spoke, the pharmacy owner, whose body was covered with various rare herbs and covered with centipedes and spiders, packed the items and placed them on the counter. Upon seeing this, Su Luo immediately grabbed them, afraid that the medicine would be gone if she was a moment too late.
"That's 20,005 ghost money in total. I'll round it down to 20,000 ghost money." After saying that, Su Luo pretended to take out 20,000 ghost money from Hua Pi's shopping bag and handed it over. His movements were so smooth and fluid that Hua Pi didn't even need to remind him. The pharmacy owner nodded repeatedly as he watched.
