Chapter 20 Purchase Restricted Areas
The restricted purchase area was very empty, with only a few shelves, unlike the central shopping area which was full of things, and there were hardly any residents of the ocean area.
Mingzhao pushed the shopping cart she had picked up at the door and started browsing from the side.
In the restricted purchase area, each person can only buy one item, and the prices are expensive. In her past life, she couldn't afford even one item, and could only drool over the product descriptions.
The goods here are different from those in the city center. You have to pay before you can receive your goods, mainly to prevent theft or robbery.
Mingzhao first went to a bookshelf.
[Random Martial Arts Manual: 200 Ocean Coins.]
Without hesitation, she immediately spent 100 Ocean Coins to buy it, and then pulled one out from a pile of identical books.
[Lingbo Weibu: Footwork techniques; practice can improve agility.]
Mingzhao flipped through it roughly, and couldn't help but smile.
The practice of Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) is divided into three stages:
Phase 1: Footwork practice to improve agility and master the steps to dodge enemy attacks.
Phase Two: Breath control practice, improved agility, and mastery of stealth and assassination techniques.
The third stage: the lightness skill stage, which greatly increases the height and distance of jumps. When practiced to the peak, one can walk on water, walk directly up trees, etc.
This third stage is too magical, isn't this just chakra?
The reason why such a high-level martial art only costs 200 Ocean Coins is probably because very few people can practice to the third stage. However, learning the first two stages is also very useful.
Next, Mingzhao walked to a small box placed on a table.
[Random Skill Card: 200 Ocean Coins]
After paying 100 Ocean Coins, Mingzhao reached into the box and pulled out a card.
【I Am a Healer Dragon: Shout "I am a Healer Dragon!" when used, transforming your appearance into that of a healer dragon. Movement is unaffected. Duration is unlimited.】
...
Is it common to announce the skill before using it?
This skill isn't as advanced as Lingbo Weibu, but it's very practical. Mingzhao had long wanted to find a skill that could disguise himself, so he wouldn't have to live in fear every time.
However, her ideal disguise was at least a handsome assassin in black...
Fine, I'll just have a milk dragon then.
Further ahead is the weapons area, which is quite large. The weapons are uniformly packed in long gift boxes and placed in a glass cabinet.
[Random Weapon: 300 Ocean Coins]
Mingzhao paid 150 Ocean Coins and pulled out a gift box from the bottom of the glass case.
This gift box weighs at least 20kg, and Mingzhao had a lot of trouble carrying it. He regretted choosing this weapon.
[Thor's Battle Axe: A treasure left behind by Thor in the mortal realm; its use causes extraordinary celestial phenomena. Requirement: Strength > 90]
Mingzhao sighed, realizing that even good luck eventually runs out.
An attribute value of 100 is equivalent to the highest level that humans could achieve before the apocalypse, and a strength value of 90 is at least at the level of a weightlifter.
Her current strength is only 57; she doesn't know how many monsters she'll have to kill before she can wield this battle axe.
However, the higher the requirements for wearing it, the higher the weapon's grade. These incredible requirements made Mingzhao very much looking forward to the power of this Thor's Battle Axe.
After putting the axe into her spatial storage, Mingzhao felt much more relaxed and headed towards the last area she had been most looking forward to.
A gashapon machine was placed in the very center of the restricted purchase area.
[Random Pet Egg: 500 Ocean Coins]
In her previous life, almost half a year passed before Mingzhao heard of anyone having a pet for the first time, since 500 Ocean Coins was not a price that ordinary people could afford.
The pets in the Grand Voyage game are not ordinary pets; they usually have combat abilities and various functions such as assisting in piloting.
It is said that once you reach a certain level of affinity with your owner, there will be new surprises.
Mingzhao promptly paid 250 Ocean Coins.
Turn the gashapon machine, and the gashapon capsules inside start tumbling wildly. Then, a small gashapon capsule falls out.
Open the capsule toy, and inside is a white, semi-transparent egg, about the size of a fist.
Mingzhao placed the egg under the light to observe it, and could vaguely see a small white animal curled up in the center.
The hatching of a pet egg requires a specific opportunity, and no one knows what that opportunity will be. Some people hatched their eggs as soon as they got them in their past lives, while others held onto them for half a year and never hatched them before they died.
There's no rush for this, so she also put the pet egg into her space.
These four limited-purchase items cost a total of 600 Ocean Coins, leaving 274 Ocean Coins, which can be used to buy items worth 548 Ocean Coins.
Mingzhao was about to go on a shopping spree in the central area when he suddenly noticed two humans looking around suspiciously.
She didn't want anyone to discover her true identity yet, so she used the newly drawn skill.
"I am Milk Dragon!"
Mingzhao vanished instantly, and a giant milk dragon, two meters tall, appeared in the spot.
She stretched her limbs and, finding no further restraint as before, relaxed and walked into the crowd in the central area.
The main goods in the central area are various cards and blueprints.
There were also some food and clothes, but the cooking skills and aesthetics of the ocean dwellers were really not flattering, so I couldn't be bothered to look at them.
After browsing the blueprint area for a while, Mingzhao selected the blueprints for universal bullets, smoke grenades, tear gas grenades, and robotic arms.
Total cost: 250 Ocean Coins, cost: 125 Ocean Coins.
She spent the remaining 150 Ocean Coins on cards.
A 50 Ocean Coins deprivation card? I'll take two.
I want two attribute upgrade cards that cost 30 Ocean Coins each.
I'd like two speed-up cards that cost 20 Ocean Coins each.
Get two Island Selection Cards for 20 Ocean Coins each.
I spent a total of 120 Ocean Coins, and have 30 Ocean Coins left for emergencies.
After finishing her purchases, Mingzhao happily pushed the shopping cart to the checkout.
When the little seahorse saw the total cost displayed on the cash register as 1688 Ocean Coins, its pupils dilated.
It let out a howl and ran away.
Just as Mingzhao was feeling confused and was about to switch to another cashier, the supermarket's music suddenly changed.
It has been transformed into the more festive "Congratulations on your fortune!"
Immediately afterwards, a seahorse with a huge belly, surrounded by a group of baby seahorses, and holding firecrackers, walked towards Mingzhao.
As they approached her, several small seahorses simultaneously set off fireworks, sending glittering fragments flying through the air and landing on Mingzhao's hair.
"Oh, Mr. Milk Dragon, your presence truly honors my humble shop. Look at what's in your shopping cart—it's all the best stuff in our supermarket. Who else but you has such discerning taste?"
"1688, look at that number, it exudes elegance, befitting your distinguished status. Please don't push the cart yourself; I'll have my strongest young man take it to the ship for you. Next time you come, let me know in advance, and I'll have my staff reserve the best for you!"
"This is a small gift from Haima Supermarket to you. It's just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it with a smile!"
As it spoke, it took a glittering gold card from the plate covered with a red cloth that the little seahorse next to it was holding, and handed it to Mingzhao.
I don't know how it managed to say so many flattering things to a milk dragon and still hold back its laughter.
Mingzhao had just received it and hadn't even had a chance to look at it when a group of ocean dwellers surged over.
"Let me see! Let me see!"
"I want to see what kind of things the stingiest boss in the entire ocean, Mr. Ma, can give away."
