Chapter 35: The Second Item: Picking Up the Item - Old Sophora Tree
The others sitting around the campfire stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes:
The young man under the locust tree stood in the light, looking straight ahead. He seemed to have heard something and his pupils trembled with fright.
And Chen Li, who was supposed to be entangled by the vines just now, slowly walked out from the darkness.
The flames were dancing, and the orange-yellow light shone on his face, leaving a dancing shadow under his nose and on his lower lip.
And his handsome face was fully revealed to everyone at this moment.
In the past, when Chen Li had a blank expression on his face, Song Buyu always felt that he looked dull.
And now, that face is still expressionless, but Song Buyu feels inexplicably scared.
Who is the villain?
The young man under the locust tree turned his head palely, and after seeing the heavy hat behind him, he was so flustered that he took a few steps back.
“How could it be…”
Behind the locust tree boy was a bonfire, and he was shrouded in fear at the moment, completely unaware that he was very close to the bonfire.
His legs were slowly melting, and the muscles close to his calves turned into a soft pool, flowing down along his leg bones and piling up at his feet.
The heavy hat was getting closer and closer, and the young man under the locust tree was so scared that he fell into the bonfire.
The flames leaped up and burned to an unprecedented height, and the bones crackled in the high temperature of the flames.
Something exploded in the campfire with a slight crackling sound.
Countless flickering sparks jumped out above the flames of the bonfire.
And Shen Li has now completely walked out of the darkness.
He yawned, his eyes became tired as he looked at the campfire, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"There's no road here, let's go out."
“Out, out, out!”
After the boy under the locust tree fell into the bonfire, everyone's shoulders instantly felt relaxed and they were able to move.
Is this solved?
Song Buyu looked at Chen Li with complicated eyes. Just as he was about to ask something, Yu Qianqian behind him suddenly walked over before him and patted Chen Li on the shoulder.
"You were clearly wrapped in vines just now, how did you suddenly appear from behind him?"
Before Chen Li could answer, Yu Qianqian suddenly figured it out, "Did you encounter a desperate NPC?"
Desperate NPC? Do you know Qian?
Shen Li had indeed met him in the previous copy, so he nodded without hesitation.
"That's right! You must have used an escape tool just now!"
Shen Li originally wanted to say no.
Just now he used the shadow technique to make his shadow imitate himself being tied up by vines.
But when the topic of desperate NPCs came up, everyone's attention was diverted from Shen Li.
The man with glasses escaped death and quickly asked Yu Qianqian: "What is the desperate NPC? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Yu Qianqian was like an information distribution center. She cleverly gathered everyone into a small group and made herself the focus.
"Everyone, for 99 points, you can buy information about the desperate NPC from me!"
"I can guarantee that this information can save your lives at a critical moment!"
Another one who knows how to do business.
Yu Qianqian has already started promoting information in the crowd.
The man with glasses couldn't stand people like Yu Qianqian who were selling information in the dungeon. The main reason was that he was short of money and only had a few points left. He wanted to know the information but was unwilling to spend money.
This time, I was finally matched with my goddess when delivering the package.
Seeing the goddess walking towards him, the man with glasses declared righteously:
"Although this instance is labeled as a competition, if you don't cooperate, you will still die miserably. It's too selfish of you not to share the useful information you have obtained!"
The man with glasses provoked conflicts by standing on the moral high ground.
If it weren't for the big guy behind Yu Qianqian, he would have taken action long ago.
Fortunately, the goddess came over to him and persuaded him a few words, so he didn't make trouble.
"Everyone, stop arguing." Du Ruo's feet were still numb from kneeling for so long.
The man with glasses helped her walk in front of Yu Qianqian.
"I paid for it. 99 points, right?"
Du Ruo picked up the employee ID card hanging around his neck and leaned it against Yu Qianqian's ID card.
99 points were deducted instantly.
Having completed the first business deal, Yu Qianqian was in a good mood and leaned over to Du Ruo's ear to tell him the information.
"Since I spent points to buy the information, I have the right to decide whether to share the information with others. Do you mind?"
"As you wish." Yu Qianqian walked out of the tree hole nonchalantly.
Du Ruo returned to the crowd and told everyone present everything Yu Qianqian had just said to her.
"Desperate NPCs can only be seen in critical moments. Although the props sold at the NPC stalls are expensive, they can greatly increase the possibility of escape and improve the survival rate, so you must buy them if you can! Compared to points, life is the most important."
"When NPCs appear, they are more obvious, with neon signs or something to attract attention, so they are usually hard to miss."
He shared the unimportant information at the beginning, but before saying the more important information later, Du Ruo hesitated.
According to Yu Qianqian's information, the Desperate Situation NPC not only sells items, but also sells copy information.
As long as you can afford the points, you can ask him questions.
This is the key point. Du Ruo had some selfish motives and deliberately concealed this part of the information.
Du Ruo's willingness to share information aroused everyone's favor towards her.
Plus, Du Ruo is very beautiful, so naturally everyone would rather make friends with her.
Lian Song Buyu also came forward like a pug.
Yu Qianqian walked towards Chen Li in a depressed mood. After coming out of the tree hole, this guy stared at the old locust tree in a daze.
"Why don't you go and listen to the intelligence?"
"There's nothing good to hear." The information about the desperate NPC was of no value to him, and he even knew the NPC himself.
"Do you also think that I am a bad person who is greedy for money?"
Yu Qianqian was in a bad mood and had no one to talk to, so she could only pour out her grievances to Chen Li.
Shen Li thought about it seriously and said:
"You look a lot like someone I know, his name is Qian Shi. You are both born businessmen, you just like doing business, how can you be considered bad people?"
He spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, his tone was gentle, his expression was sincere, and he spoke from the heart without a trace of falsehood.
Just a few words helped Yu Qianqian resolve her worries.
Suddenly, at an inopportune moment, music rang out from the locust tree forest.
It sounds like music from an amusement park, accompanied by colorful neon lights. Speak of the devil.
Qian Shi, wearing a fox mask that was half red and half white, appeared under the locust tree with his familiar lines and a bright smile.
"Welcome to the Desperate Shop. I am a dungeon NPC, an NPC that will only appear when you are on the brink of life or death."
"The items sold in the Desperate Shop vary from person to person. Would you like to choose one? It may change your current fate."
The desperate NPC suddenly appeared, bringing a lot of useful props.
Aside from Shen Li, this was the first time they had seen a desperate NPC.
"The appearance of the desperate NPC at this time, does it mean that we are all in a desperate situation..."
Seeing NPCs is a good thing, but also a bad thing.
This means they are about to be in danger.
No one wanted to miss the only chance to increase their chances of escape, so they all crowded in front of the Desperate Shop and risked their points to choose props.
The man with glasses chose the "Basic Wooden Puppet". He can use the puppet to escape at the critical moment, but it can only be used once.
This item was the cheapest item in the Qianshi store, but even so, it cost the man with glasses all his points.
Qian Shi collected the points and smiled happily, "Special reminder, the primary wooden puppet can only be used to deceive ordinary ghosts or monsters. If you encounter a high-level monster, it will be useless. They can see through it at a glance. But don't worry, monsters of that level usually don't appear."
He had been delivering parcels with his boss for three years and had only encountered this problem three times.
On average, this happens once a year, which is a very low probability.
Du Ruo carefully selected items at the stall. She had more points, so she first chose props from the high-priced goods area.
The higher the price of a product, the better it should be.
Du Ruo's gaze rested on the white porcelain jar with the most expensive price.
"What's this?"
"The ashes of the nameless one!"
More business is coming, Qian Shi's eyes light up.
"This is a great item, and the price is here! Only one piece available, no discounts."
Qian Shi gave full play to his exaggerated acting skills and held the white porcelain jar in his arms.
"It's the treasure of our store. Even if you want to buy it, I have to think about it. I can't bear to part with it."
Yu Qianqian noticed Qian Shi's exaggerated acting skills.
The little girl immediately became interested in him and pulled Shen Li over to watch, "This NPC is quite interesting."
Although he was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly, Yu Qianqian felt that he must be a greedy person!
Although Du Ruo had some points, the price of this special item was too high, so she just waited and watched at first.
But seeing Qian Shi's reluctant look, he suddenly felt that he would regret it if he missed this treasure of the store.
"So what's it for? Is it disposable too?"
"Of course it's not disposable!" Qian Shi handed the urn to Du Ruo and asked her to touch the material of the urn.
"The ashes of the nameless person can summon the soul of the nameless person to fight for you at a critical moment. As long as the ashes are still there, they can be used repeatedly."
Qian Shi slapped Du Ruo in the face and said, "A beautiful woman like you should be paired with an immortal knight. What do you think?"
Du Ruo was praised by Qian Shi and felt elated. On impulse, he bought the ashes of the nameless man.
After the points transaction was completed, Qian Shicai added:
"Although it can be used repeatedly, each time it is used, a little bit of the Nameless One's ashes will be consumed. When the ashes are used up, the Nameless One will disappear."
"But why didn't you say it just now?" She felt a little regretful as soon as she got the thing.
She thought there was no limit to the number of times she could use it, but before she bought it, the NPC repeatedly emphasized that once the item was sold, it would not be returned or exchanged.
"You should use it sparingly. Just grab a little each time. It should be fine if you use it about twenty times!"
After sending Du Ruo away, Qian Shi raised his voice, "Is there anyone else who wants to buy something? Anyone want to buy hair dye as a gift? It's on sale at a low price."
When Du Ruo heard about the low-price promotion, he became interested again, "What special effects does hair dye have?"
"Hair dye is hair dye, it can only dye hair. Please move aside, you are blocking my way."
Seeing that Chen Li was unmoved, Qian Shi waved at him helplessly, "This customer, congratulations on winning our lucky tag. Come and claim your prize."
Onlookers: “!!!”
Lottery? When did it happen?
