Chapter 329 Mysterious Goods
Meng Qingyin eventually helped Li Tieniu peel garlic.
Although Li Tieniu told her to eat watermelon, Meng Qingyin only said yes, but continued peeling garlic with her hands.
Li Tieniu couldn't do anything about it, so he stopped insisting.
The two chatted as they peeled garlic, while the little one lay at Meng Qingyin's feet. The delicious aroma of spicy crayfish wafted from the kitchen, filling the entire courtyard.
An hour later, the crayfish were ready.
Li the blacksmith made two flavors: spicy and garlic. The crayfish were all plump and meaty, and had a spicy and fragrant taste.
The little one loved it so much that it didn't want to waste the last bit of broth, so it asked Li the blacksmith to cook noodles for it.
After the meal, the three of them sat in the courtyard chatting and enjoying the cool air.
Meng Qingyin mentioned the matter of demonized weapons.
Li the blacksmith listened thoughtfully, "Combining demonic energy with weapons is indeed a very interesting idea. I'll try it tomorrow. Such a weapon might have unexpected effects."
Meng Qingyin then took out a flint and handed it to Li the blacksmith: "Master, this is a flint. It can increase fire attack power and resistance. Do you think we can embed it into a weapon?"
Looking at the flint in his palm, Li the blacksmith said, "This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. It can actually increase fire attack power and resistance? But, if it's just embedded in a weapon, will it even work?"
"I don't know either," Meng Qingyin shook her head. "Master, do you think that setting it in place will prevent the flint from functioning properly?"
Li the blacksmith: "I'm not sure either. But if I want to enhance a weapon's attribute, I'll directly integrate the material into the weapon. I haven't tried socketing it; the effect might not be good."
Meng Qingyin: "Then you should try them all and see which one works best."
Li the blacksmith nodded. "Okay."
Li Tieniu couldn't quite understand their conversation. After they finished talking, he said to Li the blacksmith, "Dad, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and may not be back for a while."
Li the Blacksmith: "Is this a matter for your construction team?"
Li Tieniu smiled憨厚ly: "Yes, I just took on a big project. The client wants to build an amusement park. It's a huge project and may take a year and a half to complete."
Li the blacksmith glanced at him and said, "Aren't you a bridge construction team? How come you can build an amusement park?"
Li Tieniu scratched his head. "I don't know either. The client came to us on their own initiative. Besides... if your son can build bridges, it's not impossible for him to build an amusement park."
Many architectural skills are interconnected. When he was learning bridge construction, he also learned about house construction. Moreover, his construction team had previous experience building houses.
They were determined to win the amusement park this time.
"By the way, the client said the signal at the amusement park isn't very good. Don't worry if you can't reach me, I'll get back to you when I receive your message," Li Tieniu added.
Li the blacksmith muttered, "Bad signal? Are you guys heading into some remote mountain forest?"
Li Tieniu didn't hear what he said, but Meng Qingyin did.
Deep in the mountains and forests?
A thought quickly flashed through her mind: Why would an amusement park choose to be built deep in the mountains and forests?
She casually asked, "By the way, Brother Tie Niu, what's that client's name?"
Li Tieniu: "His surname seems to be Zhang, but I don't know his given name."
open?
This surname is too common.
Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Meng Qingyin asked again, "When are you leaving?"
Li Tieniu: "I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning."
Meng Qingyin: "Let me know when you arrive. Also, have a safe trip."
Li Tieniu: "No problem, we should arrive around noon tomorrow. I'll send you a message when we arrive."
The three chatted for a while longer before Meng Qingyin went back.
At this time, the Magic Tower Shop opened.
Meng Qingyin clicked on it and found that in addition to the original items, there was a new [mystery item].
[Mystery Item: It can be anything, depending on your needs. Limited to 0/1. Price: ???]
Mystery item?
The price is still unknown.
How can I buy this if there's no price listed?
When Meng Qingyin selected the [Mystery Item], a notification popped up:
Please enter the item you need. The store will determine the price based on its scarcity. Note: Scarcity drives up the price; the rarer the item, the higher the price.
Meng Qingyin's eyes flickered.
Could it be that...
Can she enter any "product"?
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment, then typed in "new map unlock card" and clicked search.
Soon, the interface for the [Mystery Item] changed.
[New Map Unlock Card: Grants a random method to enter a new map upon use, but this item is ineffective within that map. Purchase Limit: 0/1, Price: 10,000 Gold Coins.]
Is it invalid?
Moreover, the price is too high, it costs 10,000 gold coins.
Meng Qingyin cleared the search results and then entered "spider silk cloak".
[The Spider Silk Cloak is a multi-attribute item. Do you want to select the default attributes?]
Meng Qingyin was stunned.
Default properties?
She chose "yes".
[Spider Silk Cloak: Enchanted equipment. Wearing this equipment grants +1 to all attributes. No special effects. Purchase limit: 0/1. Price: 10,000 gold.]
Meng Qingyin was a little disappointed.
The only one that's acceptable is +1 to all attributes.
But its price is ridiculously high.
Perhaps it's because it's so rare. In any case, this spider silk cloak isn't very practical and is overpriced, so there's no need to buy it—the key point is that she can't afford it anyway.
Not only can she not afford it, but there isn't a single player in the entire region who can afford it.
However... perhaps the spider silk cloak forged by Qin Feng will have special effects?
Meng Qingyin sighed and cleared her memory once again.
Next, she carefully considered what else she needed.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she typed in "Tower of Babel Pass".
[This product is not available in the store. Please provide details about its intended use so the store can price it accordingly.]
Meng Qingyin typed: "Use this coupon to pass the Tower of Heaven."
[Tower of Babel Clearance Ticket: Player-customized item. Use this ticket to clear the Tower of Babel. Purchase limit: 0/1, Price: 10 million gold coins.]
Meng Qingyin was speechless.
One thousand...ten thousand? !
This price is a bit too expensive.
She cleared the content without any expression.
Forget it, I'll just go back to farming the tower.
With no clue in her mind at the moment, Meng Qingyin simply opened the chat area to see what other players were buying.
Players are also discussing the mysterious item, and the discussion is going on enthusiastically.
It's no exaggeration to say that Meng Qingyin hasn't seen a scene like today's, with messages flooding her screen so quickly, in a long time.
