Six minutes per person? That's way too short! And the props are just casually displayed on the shelves...
It's like a retail and wholesale market.
However, there were quite a few good items displayed in very prominent positions.
Yu Xiangnan quickly browsed around, and when he caught a glimpse of the insecticide on the shelf, he almost vomited blood in anger.
Surely no one will actually buy it?
Wait, isn't this just a regular insecticide?
Yu Xiangnan thought about it for a moment and fell into deep thought.
However, she only pondered it for a few seconds, as six minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the item she needed to find was still nowhere to be found.
Luo Pin walked out from behind the counter at some point and came to her side. "Oh my... finally, I've seen a decent human being."
Yu Xiangnan turned his head to look at it.
Luo Pin had acquired an exquisite pipe in his left hand at some point.
The pipe was like a small work of art, with a wooden shaft that gleamed with a faint luster and was carved with some strange patterns.
He slowly raised the pipe, put it in his mouth, and bit down. Then, with his other hand, he took out a box of matches from his pocket, skillfully pulled out a match, and lightly struck it against the rough wall. Instantly, the match head ignited with an orange flame.
Luo Pin brought the match close to his pipe and took a deep drag.
As he inhaled, the tobacco in the pipe ignited, making a hissing sound, and wisps of white smoke slowly rose into the air.
Yu Xiangnan was speechless for a moment. After a brief pause, he raised his hand and pointed directly to the no-smoking sign behind it. "Your store has a no-smoking sign, so why don't you set a good example yourself?"
"That's because smoking is prohibited for customers."
Luo Pin glanced at him sideways and answered matter-of-factly.
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
This is definitely a shady business.
Yu Xiangnan was too lazy to argue with it anymore, and he was very anxious. He searched around several times, but still found nothing.
There are only three minutes left.
Left with no other option, she turned directly to Luo Pin and asked, "Boss, do you have any items in your shop that can protect against mental attacks?"
"Resisting mental attacks?"
Luo Pin seemed somewhat surprised by this request.
"Your goal is quite clear... Although this kind of item is very rare, my shop has everything, hahahahaha."
As he spoke, a pale blue, irregularly shaped stone appeared in Luo Pin's hand without warning. The stone emitted a faint, flowing light, like ripples on water, as if it were alive.
"【Tear of the Elf】can block most mental attacks and increase the wearer's mental power. An additional effect is that it cannot be plundered by other players," Luo Pin explained.
Yu Xiangnan reached out and took the Tear of the Elf, examining it carefully.
As Luo Pin said, this [Tear of the Elf] is a five-star item whose main function is to resist mental attacks and increase one's own mental strength.
However, just by seeing the additional effect that it "cannot be looted by other players," you know that this item is quite expensive.
How much does this cost?
“It’s not just about the journey points; I need something else,” Luo Pin said mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangnan quickly retrieved the colorful slime ball, a trophy he had obtained from killing the mutated insects, from his card album.
"clever."
Luo Pin nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
After quickly counting the spoils, Luo Pin finally quoted a price of "5500 Conquest Points + 20 [Slime Balls]".
But Yu Xiangnan didn't pay the Journey Points immediately. Instead, he said, "Make it cheaper."
Luo Pin: "?"
"There's only one and a half cents left, and you're still trying to bargain?"
Yu Xiangnan shrugged: "I'm used to it. Just tell me if you can make it cheaper?"
Luo Pin laughed loudly: "Interesting, interesting. I can give you a discount, after all, I have a feeling we will meet again in the future."
"5000 Journey Points".
"A little less, 4200."
Seeing her expressionless face as she haggled, Luo Pin choked, "Don't push your luck..."
Yu Xiangnan interrupted him, "The prices of the other items in your shop are ridiculously high, and many of them are even gathering dust, which means that basically no one comes to buy them. Besides, I am number one on the Conqueror's Journey leaderboard. Although there are many other players, very few players can afford to spend so many Conqueror's Journey Points and Slime Balls at once. You should really think about this."
While speaking, she was also secretly observing the other person's reaction.
This NPC is really short of money!
Furthermore, based on his previous behavior and the situation in the store, it can be inferred that he has been trying to guide the player's attention and get them to spend money.
First, place the rarest and most attractive items in the center and make them taller than other items to make them stand out visually, so that players' eyes will be immediately drawn to them as soon as they enter the store.
Furthermore, the purchase of these items is limited to six minutes, with a clear emphasis on the fact that once sold out, they will not be restocked. This tactic creates a sense of urgency, putting players under time pressure and compelling them to make purchases, giving them the illusion that this is a "must-have" opportunity.
However, she was also aware that what she was doing was very risky, but she couldn't worry about that now.
After all, the opportunity is rare, and if we succeed, we can save at least a thousand or so Journey Points.
Moreover, I just don't want this unscrupulous merchant to succeed.
Luo Pin: "......"
They've been discovered...
What a perceptive little girl.
Seeing that he was wavering, Yu Xiangnan said, "Didn't you say we'd see each other again in the future? Let's just consider it as making friends."
"Okay, deal."
Luo Pin narrowed his eyes. "Little girl surnamed Yu, I, Luo Pin, will remember you!"
Yu Xiangnan quickly paid with Journey Coins, and the next second, the surrounding scene changed again.
The difference is that she now possesses a (★★★★★) [Tear of the Elf].
Yu Xiangnan clicked "Use" and quickly bound it to the Tear of the Elf.
[Prompt]: Binding successful.
Does this NPC named [Luo Pin] have some kind of deal with the game system? He can actually replace the original limited-time shop and set his own purchase rules, allowing all players to enter the shop one by one to buy items...
Could it be that they had some connections that gave them the opportunity to come to this instance and sell their wares?
strangeness.
As Yu Xiangnan was deep in thought, a paper airplane, like a light, falling leaf, silently came to rest about ten meters in front of her.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar figure come into view.
"What a coincidence." Ning Xiluo waved to Yu Xiangnan expressionlessly.
Yu Xiangnan was startled and nodded slightly.
"A deal?" Ning Xiluo asked again.
Yu Xiangnan said, "Since it was agreed upon beforehand, let's continue the transaction."
Although he knew that Liu Chengcheng was skimping on the ingredients when selling dishes at "Tianxia Yijue", he couldn't go back on his word because of the importance of honesty and the deal they had agreed on.
