Chapter 39 Obsidian City
Rong Yi leaned back, which could be interpreted in two ways.
One possibility is that outsiders cannot easily open the passages to Obsidian City. The passages into the city may be simple, but the exits must be heavily sealed.
The second type is those who are arrogant and contemptuous enough that they would rather use dungeons to destroy rebellious beings than let players confront them directly.
Rong Yi began to wonder what kind of dangerous and exciting world she would go to if she went against the audience's wishes, and whether the system controller would simply leave her in the instance world.
Sister Wu had been observing her expression, but she didn't expect that Rong Yi would not remain silent and serious after hearing her words. Instead, he looked eager to try.
What the hell?
"Ahem—Little beauty, don't have any dangerous thoughts. Resisting may be cool and exciting, but when there is an absolute difference in strength, retaliation is usually unbearable."
Rong Yi pursed his lips, suppressing his excitement. "Thank you for the reminder, Sister Wu."
The dishes were served quickly, and she liked them all.
Tonight's dinner was paid for by Sister Wu, and Rong Yi still has 2610 left in his account.
"Energy stones? To activate the head and neck defense shield?"
When Rong Yi asked to buy energy stones, Sister Wu remembered the head and neck shield she had sold to this pretty girl last time.
"Yes, the shield can not only block attacks, but also filter harmful gases and viruses. I want to buy some energy stones as an emergency preparation. Last time I gave up because I didn't have enough points. The level one shield is good, but it can't completely block the area around my head."
"The protection formed by energy is naturally better than physical objects, but energy stones are scarce and used as currency among high-level players. They are rarely circulated outside the market. The purity of the energy they contain is far superior to that of enhancement potions purchased with points. The system deducts a significant percentage from the price of such materials. I can only sell you one level 1 energy stone at most. You will have to find these materials yourself in dungeons from now on."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Wu. I will return the one I sold to you as soon as I find an energy stone in the future."
Sister Wu was being very polite. Points and energy stones cannot be exchanged. Energy stones are the essence of energy that players can directly absorb, representing an increase in strength. Other creatures with levels might be able to be bought with points, but energy stones are definitely out of the question.
Wu Jie received 2,000 points for a level-one energy stone the size of a walnut, and Rong Yi now has 610 points left.
These cannot be used without authorization; they must be used to have weapons forged and upgraded.
Sitting at the table, Rong Yi stared at the energy stone on it, examining it carefully. Ever since she bought it, she had had a desire to absorb the energy inside.
But Sister Wu clearly said that one can only absorb energy after activating their talent.
Given that the energy stone was directly absorbed by an unknown entity when he touched it last time, Rong Yi didn't dare to touch it this time.
After looking at it for a short while, I used clips to put the expensive energy stone into the storage compartment of the defensive shield.

After this trip, Rong Yi decided to rest well in Obsidian City and sleep until he naturally woke up every day.
After two days of comfort, the communication system sent a notification.
She asked Tan Xiangming to add her as a friend, and he agreed and even sent her a message.
Wu Xue asked if you wanted to forge a weapon, and which level you wanted to upgrade it to?
Rong Yi sat up and replied to the message: [Currently at Tier 1, I bought two high-grade Tier 1 exotic irons. How much did it cost?]
"Just give me 100 yuan, I'm in the shop, just come over."
Rong Yi lifted the covers to change his clothes and went outside, thinking to himself that Sister Wu's real name was Wu Xue.
Tan Xiangming was fair-skinned and handsome, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which was completely inconsistent with Rong Yi's image of a blacksmith.
Upon seeing the person, hand them the dagger and the strange iron, then transfer 100 points to them.
Tan Xiangming held the dagger and stroked it carefully. "It can probably upgrade you to the second-tier upper level. I heard from Wu Xue that you have only experienced three dungeons."
Rong Yi nodded honestly.
Tan Xiangming glanced at her a few more times. Rong Yi had come in a hurry, so she casually gathered her hair and tied it up. Her fair face still had the languid look of someone who had just had a good night's sleep. She was so beautiful that she could be noticed at a glance. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a college student.
"We should definitely get more good weapons. We've already got so many points on our third run of the dungeon. We should be fully prepared for the next dungeon and prepare as many as we can."
Over the years, he has seen countless players. More than 90% of players are considered good if they can accumulate three to five hundred points in the first few dungeons. It is rare to see a high-level player like Rong Yi who can directly break several thousand points.
"I'll go prepare the other supplies in a bit."
"You can go now. The forging will take about fifteen minutes. Just come back to pick it up then." Tan Xiangming picked up the dagger and the strange iron, got up, and went inside to start working.
Rong Yi naturally didn't want to bother him, so he went to the same restaurant as last time to prepare a meal.
In the Ultimate Assault dungeon, the most consumed resource is not bullets, but food.
She finished off the fifteen portions of Tier 1 food she had prepared, and consumed 52 boxes of non-Tier 1 food. Every time she finished dealing with those test subjects, she had to eat at least two boxes of food, otherwise she would feel hungry and anxious.
I gave Tan Xiangming 100 points, and now I have 510 points left in my account. I should go buy some food.
Upon arriving at the store where I had previously purchased ready-to-eat food, I saw a middle-aged man with a full beard cleaning a gun; judging from his movements, it must be his beloved weapon.
"Oh, it's you. Did you finish the food you bought last time?" The uncle recognized her.
"Not much left." Rong Yi said, glancing around the shelves. The faint aroma of food lingered in the air, making his stomach rumble. "Any freshly cooked Tier 1 food?"
One box of Tier 1 food is enough to keep her full for a day, while two boxes of non-Tier 1 food are needed for a meal. It's not that the food is bad, but in the tense environment of a dungeon, it's a waste of time.
The burly owner stepped out from behind the counter. "Yes, we have a fresh batch. The price varies depending on the ingredients. Come and choose from the samples."
Remembering Tan Xiangming's reminder to prepare more supplies, Rong Yi wasn't afraid of inferior weapons, but rather of being hungry. She planned to use all of her 500+ points to buy food.
There are 226 Tier 1 boxed meals and 68 Tier 2 boxed meals, which are fresh foods that will not be touched frequently.
In addition, there were five boxes of vacuum-packed Tier 1 compressed biscuits, 232 packs of dried meat and vegetables, and the remaining dozen or so points were exchanged for purified water.
Upon seeing the 510 points earned, the boss gifted Rong Yi an extra meal of all the meat dishes in the restaurant, which was filled with all the meats collected in the store.
With his account balance emptied again, Rong Yi was very satisfied to see his storage bracelet full.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. When they went to get the forged dagger, they found that Tan Xiangming's shop was crowded with people and they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Helpless, Rong Yi messaged Tan Xiangming, and in the end, a boy she didn't know brought out the dagger for her.
"Boss Tan said that if you want to upgrade your weapons in the future, you can contact him directly." The boy's eyes were filled with envy. "I really envy you. You added Boss Tan as a friend. Do you think the stuff is okay? If it is, I'll go back."
The Azure Wave Dagger has been upgraded to Tier 2, Upper Grade. "You can go back now, thank you."
The boy waved casually and ran off. He would get a reward for helping deliver the items; Boss Tan would forge weapons for him first.
Tomorrow's update includes the new dungeon: "Recreating Civilization." Guess what the background will be like?
