Chapter 24 Hot Spring Bath (12)
As soon as he saw this ranking, Yi Han thought to himself that something was wrong. His first reaction was to find the personal settings and quickly turn off the option "Allow strangers to send friend requests".
He had just registered a forum nickname, and in the blink of an eye he was immediately ranked first on the list, and it had only been one minute.
But many players who were idle and browsing the forums had already realized that "this is a big guy in the rookie period". The moment Yi Han closed the friend request function, 999+ friend requests were crowded in the notification bar. The app was overwhelmed and almost collapsed. Yi Han restarted it once and cleared the notification bar before it recovered.
Wiping off the non-existent cold sweat, Yi Han entered the forum flooding area with an ominous premonition.
The first thing I saw was the latest hot post, which was about whether this newcomer with an average scoring rate of 99% was "a retired boxer with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a love of mystery and suspense films"... The post was published 3 minutes ago and already has hundreds of replies.
Another popular post below this one is about his online food store... The number of replies has exceeded 10,000.
Yi Han held his forehead, clicked in and took a quick look, and then found that his previous feeling was indeed correct. Almost all the players who had bought his food were discussing how delicious his braised pork was, and even more players who had not bought it were waiting like they were scrambling for train tickets, keeping a spot for new players to assist in the mission. Once they saw someone say that his food shop was open, everyone would immediately enter the game... Unfortunately, players could not open the forum in the game, and he was usually only open for one hour. Few players outside got the news and entered the level to buy, but few could catch up. But this did not dampen their enthusiasm at all. The less they could buy it, the more they wanted to eat it, and they vowed to eat the most delicious food in this legend...
...In short, I haven't seen anyone mention the special effects of food.
Yi Han always felt that based on how popular his online store was in the forum, the system would have already discovered it...
The players have not yet connected this store to the boss "y", but because his online store is directly bound to the system app, some players suspect that this was done by the system officials and have urged the system to open for business quickly.
But for some reason the system did not cause trouble for Yi Han. Instead, it turned a blind eye and condoned his little actions.
Yi Han couldn't figure out the reason for this for the time being, but he decided to act cautiously and take over the physical store in the main god space as soon as possible and make money through formal channels.
Afterwards, Yi Han went to the information area and the trading area to take a look.
The information section is of no use to him. The system has restrictions on players' comments and does not allow people to reveal the specific process of clearing a level. Therefore, the posts in this section are all about basic knowledge of escape games, app function guidelines, physical training tips, mystery novel recommendations, etc.
The trading area is similar to the spam area, and it is also very popular. Many players will sell the props they obtained in the level, or exchange them for things they need. There are also players who specialize in this kind of prop trading business, buying and reselling. The props in the posts opened by these players are more diverse and more complete. The first post that Yi Han clicked on was a new post on the store opened by this player.
After browsing carefully, I really found what I needed.
[S-level weapon comprehensive strengthening spirit stone]
[Quality: S-level]
【Condition: Brand new】
[Description: Perform all-round enhancement on S-level weapons. After enhancement, the weapon quality can be upgraded to S+.]
[A wisp of warrior's remaining soul]
【Quality: Grade A】
【Condition: Brand new】
[Description: A wisp of residual soul of a warrior who is good at using soft weapons can be attached to soft weapons, making them directly connected to the consciousness of the holder. After use, the quality of the weapon is improved, and the flexibility, strength, and toughness can be infinitely close to S-level. The holder automatically gains experience in using soft weapons. Recommended weapons: whip, chain, flying claw, rope dart, etc.]
【Item Sharing Contract】
【Quality: Grade C】
【Condition: Brand new】
[Description: Share the right to use the item with a designated companion/spiritual pet/servant.]
Yi Han remembered these keywords and searched for similar items. Finally, he found that the price in this post was the lowest and he didn’t have to wait too long for the items to be shipped.
He made himself anonymous and quickly negotiated the details of the transaction with the store owner.
The boss didn't have any S-level strengthening spirit stones in stock, so he had to wait for two days. Yi Han didn't have enough money, so they signed a transaction contract and Yi Han paid a part of the deposit.
A deal worth tens of thousands of points was done in an instant. The boss was very happy and generously gave Yi Han, a big customer, a discount and gave him the sharing contract as a gift.
So Yi Han took the contract and used it on his own pot, then bought the cheapest housework doll from the system mall and taught him how to take orders, buy ingredients, and cook.
This kind of puppet has no soul and is tireless. It is just a prop used for doing housework. In fact, Yi Han’s pot does not require people to cook, so the puppet learns very quickly.
Yi Han finally freed his hands and could make money while lying down.
Two days later, he completed the transaction with the forum owner and finally got the enhanced spirit stone and the warrior's residual soul.
After strengthening the iron pot, its information completely changed.
【Iron pan】
[Quality: S+]
【Condition: Clean as new】
[Description: Strong and durable, it can hit a ghost on the back of the head accurately.]
Yi Han: ...
I didn’t expect that when you upgrade an existing item, it will adjust the instructions based on how you use it.
Yi Han used the warrior's remaining soul on a pet chain. Although this chain was only B-level, it could tie up all kinds of strange creatures and prevent them from breaking free, so it obviously had some special power.
Yi Han had always felt that he lacked a prop to tie up prisoners. This time, when he saw the residual soul that was specifically designed to strengthen soft weapons, he decided to use it as his secondary weapon.
After using the residual soul, the pet chain directly jumped to the A+ quality. After trying it, Yi Han really felt that it was very easy to use and as easy as using one's own arm.
Because of the coma and waiting for the weapon upgrade, Yi Han's progress has been delayed for 5 days. Now it's time to move on to the next level.
The two-star level has been opened. Yi Han selected the difficulty. Before matching, he thought of his previous European teammate.
Two days later, the other party seemed to have not accepted his friend request.
Yi Han actually wanted to play duo with him... Although Jian Lin didn't show any outstanding abilities or courage, he was really lucky. If he could continue to take advantage of his luck, Yi Han felt that his score-raising speed could be improved to a higher level.
For some reason, the other party never added him or replied.
"Isn't he still holding a grudge?"
Before that dungeon came out, Yi Han's women's clothing debuff fell off... It seemed that the kid was scared quite a bit, and he finally logged off.
But according to his personality, he would not reject his teammate's friend request even if he collapsed... Yi Han felt something was wrong and searched his name again.
Unexpectedly, when I typed the two words "Jian Lin" this time, the system sent a prompt.
[The player you are looking for does not exist. ]
Yi Han: ???
I looked up the historical clearance records and confirmed that it was him who cleared the Endless Stairs with me before.
The previous friend request that Yi Han sent was still lying in the list, but the status still showed that the other party had not read it.
"The last time I submitted an application was two days ago. At that time, he was in the two-star dungeon 'Madhouse'." Yi Han pondered, "If he came out of the level, he would definitely see the message and would not ignore it. But now this message is still unread, and he can no longer be found in the player system..."
"So, does this mean...he hasn't come out of the level yet?"
"It's just that he is no longer a player. He failed to pass this level and died. Has he become a ghost in the 'madhouse'?"
