Su Lin had seen the [Puppet Doll] as a substitute item in the escape shop in Zone D before, but most of the previous substitute items had their limitations.
Either it's a substitution effect based on a certain range of damage levels; or it requires meeting some stringent preconditions.
For example, the puppet doll is the one with the fewest restrictions on substitution, but it still needs to meet the requirement that the source of the damage that caused the death is no higher than SS level.
If the power level that kills the survivor is higher than SS, the puppet doll becomes completely ineffective and cannot take the fall for them.
However, this substitute item has no restrictions or requirements; it grants absolute immunity to death in all types of situations and environments, and its price is extremely high.
"Unfortunately, you can only buy it three times."
Su Lin murmured, a hint of regret in her voice.
If this thing could be purchased an unlimited number of times, Su Lin felt that with his own strength and Xiao Linlin's planning ability, they could definitely achieve an almost inexhaustible number of chances to avoid death.
But then I thought about it again, and given the nature of the system, it's highly unlikely that they'll release something like this.
Even if escape games want to give humans some advantages, these things are likely to be considered "contraband" in terms of the overall mechanics. Escape games are already trying their best to help in a sneaky way, and it's hard to leave any bigger loopholes for benefits.
"Master, have you found that sculpture?"
Lu Zhouming, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up, smiled slightly, and did not shy away from Su Lin's gaze.
He said softly, "I've seen many expressions like this. Most people will quickly discover this item after entering the B-level area. It is indeed a good way to save your life and is one of the little foreshadowings left behind."
In Lu Zhouming's view, the escape game has created a complete reward system based on its core mechanics, but many personal agendas are mixed in with the numerous rewards.
These "hidden benefits" have a crucial role to humanity; it just depends on whether people are observant enough to discover them.
"oh?"
Xiao Linlin tilted her head, and before Su Lin could speak, she suddenly smiled and stared at Lu Zhouming, raising her little hand and beckoning: "Brother Lu, can you come here for a moment?"
"Um?"
Lu Zhouming tilted his head and looked at her with a smile: "I smell a conspiracy."
"How can you call it a conspiracy? This is a plea for help between comrades!"
"oh?"
Lu Zhouming smiled and walked towards Xiao Linlin as instructed: "Then I guess you need me to provide some advice on purchasing supplies."
"Brother Lu is so smart."
Xiao Linlin pointed to the open escape shop in front of her and asked frankly, "In Brother Lu's opinion, what are the things we need to buy most right now?"
"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid I'll make the wrong choice?"
"Of course I believe you are my partner."
Xiao Linlin, with her hands behind her back, said with a smile, "Even if Brother Lu can't make prophecies, I think with Brother Lu's rich experience as a guide for the strong and a sentinel, it's far more useful than simple prophecy."
The intuition and experience of intelligent people can be of great use, and in many cases, they can truly determine the outcome.
Xiao Linlin felt that this might be the main reason why that man kept Lu Zhouming.
As long as Lu Zhouming is alive, humanity will not lose no matter how many times it fails, because all the experience will be accumulated in Lu Zhouming.
Lu Zhouming is an anchor point, inheriting all the lessons learned from the failures of the former, and will provide the best choices and plans for the latter, truly achieving "going further each time" until an impossible miracle is accomplished.
Su Lin watched silently from the sidelines. The conversation between these two intelligent people seemed to contain hidden meanings in every sentence, unlike what appeared to be simple and straightforward on the surface.
Su Lin was too lazy to analyze the probing and maneuvering involved, and turned his attention back to the warehouse.
Xiao Linlin naturally bought all the substitute death items, as well as some more advanced technological facilities, various cultivation techniques and Taoist arts for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, ancient magic books of elves, and various resources needed for cultivation, etc.
Xiao Linlin's purchasing strategy basically follows the same approach as the previous waiting area, but with the addition of higher-level resources, which is a very prudent approach.
"I never expected that I would be more worthy of your attention than Xu Zhiyi."
Lu Zhouming looked up at the store interface with a smile, while Xiao Linlin shook her head in denial beside him: "That woman is far inferior to my partner."
"I'll help you. I'm tired of starting over too."
Lu Zhouming chuckled softly, then swiped across the escape screen, marking up some special "personal notes" for Xiao Linlin.
"The B-level zone is still too low. There are not enough exploitable vulnerabilities in the game framework, which involves limitations in the energy of the callable mechanisms."
Lu Zhouming smiled and introduced, "Look, apart from the little gadgets that can be used as substitutes, I think these are the most helpful."
Xiao Linlin looked up and, without much hesitation, bought it with a wave of her hand!
As she made her purchases, these three new items also entered the warehouse and were spotted by Su Lin.
【Horn of Leap】: SS-rank special magic item; when blown with magic energy, it can open a one-way portal to any previously visited fantasy magic game world, allowing any creature in the current game world to travel to the fantasy magic world behind the portal.
[Item Value]: 20 million resource coins.
【Book of Magical Contracts】: SSS-rank consumable item; can be used to sign a magical contract with any target (the effectiveness of the contract is controlled by a mechanism).
