Before the new crystal core blind box was launched, Lu Yao spent some time on other things.
The second floor of the nail salon is the second outsourced workshop she prepared for the blind box store.
The original plan was that this was also a small handmade workshop.
But she got inspiration from the automatic packaging box machine made by Meng Qin, and used magic to refine a machine that can automatically stamp the contract emblem.
Put a seal head engraved with a magic circle of protection contract on the machine, fill the machine with magic stone, and drive it once by the magician to inject magic power, and the protection contract emblem can be stamped on any object.
In the history of magic in Alexandria, the soul is generally the bond, and both parties to the contract need to be present at the same time to make a contract.
Lu Yao consulted all the alien staff in the nail salon and built a new magic circle for the protection contract. It does not need to be tied to the soul and does not require both parties to be present at the same time.
The disadvantage is that the effectiveness will be greatly weakened, but as an additional service of the blind box store, the effectiveness is sufficient.
In simple and popular terms, Lu Yao will stamp a special seal on the blind box he sells.
This seal has a magical protection effect. Once the protection magic circle is activated, a contract is immediately established between the blind box and the buyer.
If someone wants to snatch a blind box with an activated protection contract, they will be punished immediately.
This is a paid service, but it is not mandatory.
All blind boxes sold in the future will be stamped with a protection stamp, but whether to activate the protection contract depends entirely on the customer's own wishes.
Lu Yao went to the snack bar to get the packaged blind box, took it to the second floor of the nail salon to get a stamp, and finally took it to the blind box store to stock it.
The blind boxes that were stocked today all have a protective stamp.
The blind box machine has also been upgraded to the automatic contract function, and a fingerprint button has been added below the coin slot.
After the three regular blind box machines were stocked, Lu Yao turned on the fourth blind box machine that had been vacant, loaded 40 crystal core blind boxes, and printed a scrolling note "One hundred usage concepts of crystal core energy" on the blind box machine.
After the stocking was completed, the blind box store automatically opened for business.
As soon as the blind box store opened, the residents squatting outside immediately lined up to enter the store.
Liu Hai lives in the Hope Base and comes to the blind box store every day to squat and wait.
But there are too many people who want to redeem blind boxes, and they may not be able to redeem them every time.
He was lucky today. When the blind box shop opened, he was standing at the door with the blind box coins that he had not exchanged yesterday in his pocket. He rushed to the blind box machine first and inserted the coins to draw a box.
During the purchase process, the blind box machine asked him to add ten yuan to activate some kind of protection contract.
He was anxious, afraid that he would not be able to grab the blind boxes of the other two machines, so he did not look carefully and hurriedly added money and pressed his fingerprint.
After buying the blind boxes and coming out to count, he added a total of thirty yuan of blind box coins for the three blind boxes.
Liu Hai was almost regretting it. He could have drawn two more blind boxes with this coin.
What kind of protection contract? In this world of impermanence, it is useless.
Sure enough, the blind box shop also began to secretly make small moves to add money, but he had to buy it.
Just like some local tyrants in the base, they use all kinds of excuses to collect protection fees.
Liu Hai's excitement of grabbing three blind boxes disappeared in an instant. With a breath of anger in his heart, he ran quickly to the base.
Send the food home first, go out in the afternoon to kill more mutant animals and plants, collect crystal cores, and continue to exchange blind boxes.
It doesn't matter if it's more expensive, these foods are important supplies for their family to survive the cold wave.
Liu Hai saw the gate of the base. As long as he passed through the small woods in front that were less than ten meters wide, he could return to the base.
He just walked into the woods, and three people came out from behind the trees, staring at the blind box in his arms with light in their eyes.
The leading man was fat and had big ears. His upper body was naked. There was a scar of 20 centimeters on his chest. He held a large hatchet with a notch in his hand and said fiercely: "Leave the things here, and get out of here."
Two tall and thin men blocked Liu Hai on both sides, smiling.
One of them looked at the things in his hand and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Instant noodle blind box, the kind I ate two days ago. Pickled pepper beef noodles are so delicious, I'm almost dying of hunger."
The man next to him continued: "Not only that, he also held fruits and hot drinks, which is not right. I'm going to have a luxurious meal today, hehe."
Liu Hai took a step back, his face solemn and his mood heavy.
This is why he didn't dare to let his family members come out to exchange blind boxes.
He didn't have superpowers, and he could hunt some low-level to medium-level mutant animals and plants by teaming up with acquaintances.
At this time, facing three people alone, resistance is definitely not the best option, but he did not want to give up the blind box he had finally redeemed. He suppressed his fear and persuaded them: "The blind box store has goods every day, and now it is a transition period, and crystal cores are easy to obtain. I waited for a few days to redeem a few blind boxes. The food for my family depends on these boxes of things. I beg you..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me. If you don't give me the things, I will kill you directly." The naked big man waved the hatchet in his hand and threatened loudly.
Two tall and thin men restrained Liu Hai from the left and right, pulling open his tightly clasped arms, and three blind boxes fell to the ground.
The big man swinging the hatchet squatted down to pick up the blind box, with a smug smile on his fat face: "During the transition period, crystal cores are easy to get. But the line at that blind box store is so annoying, and you are not allowed to cut in line or fight. If we don't go to that crappy store, can't we still get the blind box? And we don't have to spend a crystal core, hehe."
His smile was sarcastic and vicious, and his fingertips touched the blind box.
"Swish--" Some purple lightning patterns flowed on the surface of the blind box and passed directly to the man.
His body stiffened, his hand loosened, the hatchet fell to the ground, and he fell down.
After a breath, he screamed and rolled on the ground: "It hurts, it hurts so much!!! It hurts so much--"
The two younger brothers didn't know what happened, and they let go of Liu Hai in fear, turned around and ran out two steps, and then turned back to grab the blind box on the ground.
Just like the big man swinging the hatchet, the two men just touched the blind box with their hands, and "boom--" a cluster of flames rose up, burning on their hands, and instantly spread to the entire arm.
The two men hugged their arms and screamed in pain, rolling on the ground on their sides, trying to get soil to put out the flames, but the fire seemed to be inextinguishable.
Liu Hai suddenly came to his senses, crawled over and carefully reached out to the blind box, but nothing happened.
He didn't think too much, picked up three blind boxes, and ran quickly to the gate of the base.
When he returned to his residence safely, he wanted his family to hide the blind box, and saw a row of small red words on the box, and then he suddenly realized something.
Before opening the box, no one can touch the blind box except the person who signed the contract.
He was able to escape from the three people in Xiao Shulin and even keep the blind box, all because of the protection contract.
The extra protection fee paid when buying the blind box is completely worth the price.
Liu Hai's depression was relieved. He only paid an extra ten yuan to keep the blind box. It was simply worth it.
In the future, when he redeems blind boxes, he must buy a contract.
I don’t know who the owner of that store is, who can even do such a thing.
The doubt only flashed through his mind for a moment, and Liu Hai packed up and went out to find someone to form a team to collect crystal cores in the wild.
In the blind box store, everyone in the queue discovered the new protection contract function of the blind box machine.
Some people, out of curiosity, paid extra money to activate the contract, while others thought that the blind box store was charging extra money in disguise, so they laughed and left after exchanging the blind boxes.
Those who did not buy the contract may or may not be robbed.
But those who bought the contract that day and encountered the villains on the road, all the blind boxes were saved.
Within half a day, the word spread that the new contract function added by the blind box store could protect the supplies from being robbed.
Some people who did not buy the contract at the time and were robbed on the way back to the base regretted it.
The goods in the three conventional machines were redeemed, and the crystal core blind box machine next to it did not redeem a single blind box.
Lu Yao sat in the backstage and observed through the monitoring function of the magic blacklist system.
Many customers came into the store and found that other blind box machines were empty. They stood in front of the crystal core blind box machine and looked at it for a while, then left disappointed.
"These people have no interest in the crystal core blind box at all." Lu Yao sighed.
The system has been secretly holding its breath because of the blacklist system, and now it can't wait to jump out and step on the store owner: [The name is too straightforward, and the price is so much more expensive than ordinary blind boxes, only a fool would buy it. ]
Lu Yao: "I have put a lot of thought into developing this set of blind boxes. Scam? I will feel heartbroken."
The system deliberately said: [Store owner, touch it. ]
Lu Yao: "Don't worry, it's only been a long time. It's just that the first person to eat crabs is missing. Isn't it the same when the nail salon just opened. I have patience."
Li Shuang and Xia Min said that the crystal core contains energy.
Only people with special powers can fully activate the energy in the crystal core, but it is limited to absorbing it into the body to enhance their special powers.
Most of the crystal cores in the hands of ordinary people are used as fuel and low-quality lighting tools, except for some used as currency.
Lu Yao uses a special magic circle to extract 100% of the energy in the crystal core.
When designing blind boxes, we focus on maximizing the utilization rate of crystal core energy while also being practical.
As long as people here can discover this, this set of blind boxes will definitely be a best-seller.
The system is right, the name "Crystal Core Blind Box" is too straightforward, and no one is willing to buy it.
If it is packaged as a "super-new energy blind box from the universe", someone might buy it out in minutes.
Sometimes people are used to turning a blind eye to the surrounding scenery, and are happy to focus on the unreachable void.
The system also wanted to take the opportunity to educate the store owner, and a group of people walked in from the door. The
tall and thin young man walking in front was wearing a white coat and a pair of thick sunglasses, with his hands in his pockets, pacing slowly.
Several people beside him matched his speed, moving step by step, including a boy who looked familiar to Lu Yao.
Jiang Han walked beside Chi Jin and glanced at the blind box machine not far away. As expected, it was all empty. He couldn't help complaining: "Brother Chi, you are too slow. All the blind boxes are sold out."
Chi Jin walked to the blind box coin exchange machine, threw a red crystal core into it, and five red blind box coins worth one hundred yuan fell out.
Jiang Han's eyes were straight: "Five hundred... Brother Chi, when did you secretly kill such a powerful monster?"
Chi Jin said nothing, took the blind box coin and walked to the crystal core blind box machine, and looked at Jiang Han sideways: "There are still goods in this machine."
Jiang Han and his friends came over with interest, and saw the words "Crystal Core Blind Box" on the blind box machine, and their interest level was -80.
A row of red words rolled on the top of the machine-a hundred uses of crystal core energy, plus the abnormal price of "sixty yuan per draw", Jiang Han's team retreated silently.
Blind box stores have also begun to unscrupulously cheat crystal cores?
Crystal core energy, this world is everywhere, who is interested?
The usage is nothing more than those few, burning for heating, heating food, night lighting, and then to enhance superpowers.
Chi Jin didn't care about that. He wanted to draw if there was any. He was holding a blind box coin in his hand and was about to put it into the machine.
Suddenly, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old ran in from outside. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered with dirt and yellow leaves. Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. "Blind box, I want a blind box. Do you have any more blind boxes?"
Chi Jin stepped back and made room: "There are blind boxes here."
The girl hurried to the blind box machine, took out a few crystal cores from her pocket and wanted to put them into the coin slot. She was about to cry because she couldn't put them in.
Jiang Han reminded in a low voice: "You have to exchange the crystal cores for blind box coins there first."
The girl blushed and exchanged the blind box coins. It was exactly fifteen yuan. She stuffed them all into the machine. After waiting for a long time, the blind box did not come out.
She was so anxious that she almost cried: "Why don't you come out?"
Chi Jin next to her didn't move at all, and didn't show any intention of helping.
Jiang Han was really anxious watching from the side. It was obvious that this girl came to the blind box store for the first time. She was in a hurry as if she had encountered something. He took out the blind box coins from his pocket, replenished the 60 yuan, and a blind box fell down with a clang.
The girl looked at him, said "thank you", squatted down to take the blind box, couldn't wait to open it, took out a small orange-yellow object, and her emotions collapsed directly: "Why isn't it food? I want food!"
