Chapter 78 The Demon King Leading the Volume
As a demon king, Luo Yan naturally couldn't waste his time on trivial matters such as identifying equipment.
Although he had already read out the properties of the harpoon with his ability, he still arrogantly sent Long Xing Wanli to the NPC shop.
Another thing is that he hates the “Emperor of Europe” the most.
If you show off in front of me again next time, this demon king will mark your task item as one and confiscate it, and hang it at the entrance of the cemetery as a decoration.
As for why it is used as a decoration.
The main reason is that as a mage, he has no use for that thing.
It seemed that Long Xing Wanli could see that the Demon King was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he didn't feel like bothering him any further and tactfully ran to the counter of the NPC shop.
The cat girl standing behind the counter had been replaced by a lizard-man corpse ghost with a Sima face.
However, this makes no difference to Long Xing Wanli, who only wants to become stronger and has no dreams. All operations are completed on the player's system interface anyway.
As he paid the fee for the binding equipment, the identification work was completed quickly.
A small harpoon icon was updated in his inventory, along with a line of text description.
[Item: Cursed Harpoon Level: Bronze
Damage type: Piercing.
Special effect: Piercing damage carries a curse effect, weakening the target's physical attributes by 1 to 3 points and continuously preventing the wound from healing. 】
Looking at the special effects written in the floating window, Long Xing Wanli's face suddenly showed an ecstatic expression and he clenched his fists excitedly.
"Shit! Bronze-level weapons!"
The loud roar attracted the attention of a group of players, and passers-by around him cast envious glances at him.
Long Xing Wanli really enjoys it.
He wasn't a show-off, but showing off based on his own abilities was different. He wanted to let everyone in the server know that he had won this game based on his own abilities! However, for some reason -
Such a shocking thing was not announced to the whole server! ?
Long Xing Wanli, who had been left alone for a long time, suddenly became angry.
What a bummer! Fortunately, his good brothers did not leave him alone, and they were very considerate and praised him.
"This is probably the first bronze-level equipment in the entire server, right?!"
"As expected of you, the boss!"
“6666!”
“…”
Not far away, the past was like smoke and cast an envious look at the group of sand sculptures.
It’s great to have money.
He is still using Shushu's short sword and wooden shield. Looking at the patina on them, you can't tell how many hands they are made.
"Tsk! Damn capitalists!"
I must have bought it! All closed beta games are sold over the counter, how shameless!
Just as Wang Shi Ru Yan was muttering to himself as he walked towards the entrance of the maze, a playful greeting suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, Brother Second-Hand, good morning."
Second-hand brother? Wang Shi Ru Yan frowned, but pretended not to hear it and continued walking forward with a blank expression.
This is the experience he gained from many years of walking around campus. Once you accept a nickname, there is no way you can get rid of it in your lifetime.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Gou Shi hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't go, go to brother! Serve brother! Ru brother... castrate me!!!"
Finally, he got the comfortable title. The corners of Wang Shi Ru Yan's mouth curled up. Then he stopped and looked back with a stern face.
"What?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Gou Shi smiled shyly, touching the back of his bald head and said, "Hehe... I just wanted to ask if you are free. A friend of mine has developed a new product and is in need of a product tester."
When Wang Shi Ru Yan heard that it was another product test, he immediately took a step back nervously.
"Get lost, I'm not going! I need to level up."
Seeing that this guy who was easiest to fool didn't take the bait, Gou Shi spoke anxiously.
"Wait, I'm not doing it for free, I'm paying you!"
Wang Shi Ru Yan, who had just taken two steps, stopped, looked at him suspiciously and asked.
"How many?"
Gou Shi gestured with five skeleton fingers.
"Fifty...RMB! Just light the fire!"
Fifty bucks?!
In reality, Zhao Jinyan was surprised, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally nodded.
"OK."
Seeing Brother Yan nod, it was Gou Shi's turn to be surprised.
Fifty bucks for all that?!
Could this guy be a college student?
Looking at that innocent yet stupid skull face, he felt somewhat guilty, but for the sake of scientific progress, he still endured it!
“Follow me!”
Thirty minutes later, a deafening explosion sounded at the mass grave further north of the North Peak Mine, and two skeletons on the distant hill cheered and clapped their hands excitedly.
"Ohhhhh!!! It's done! It's done!"
"Ha ha ha! My contribution value has finally turned positive!!!"
He drank the chemical pool in one gulp and was so excited that he almost jumped off the hill.
Although he failed to produce TNT, he developed "picric acid", which is relatively stable and has a simpler formula!
Hearing the loud explosion, Levink, who was hunting in the nearby forest, was frightened and ran towards Silverpine Town.
Only after he was sure it was safe did he stop, panting, and holding on to a pine tree beside him to stand firm, muttering something cursed.
"What is that?!"
The Andes family is mining? No—
That sound was not like the sound of gunpowder, but rather a bit like fine steel magic! On the other side, the experienced man in reality finally received the fifty-dollar password red envelope.
Looking at the balance in his account, he breathed a sigh of relief, happily put on the VR device and returned to the game.
This game is still in the closed beta stage, and everyone is still concerned about their reputation. There are currently no scammers who take a quick buck and run away.
Thinking that he had cleverly obtained fifty yuan, Wang Shi Ru Yan felt delighted. However, he could no longer laugh when he saw the contribution value.
Shit! He forgot the cost of resurrection!!!
Two weeks have passed since the rebellion of the Earth Dragon Clan was put down.
During these two weeks, the cemetery seemed to have entered a period of stable development. Apart from the players making a lot of noise every day, nothing special happened.
Luo Yan was very pleased to see that his young players had gradually adapted to the game rhythm of "Disaster OL" and also adapted to the life of being corpses.
As more and more players transferred to the Iron rank, the species in the cemetery finally became richer, and zombies and lizardman zombies began to appear one after another.
Starting with zombies, undead creatures also need to eat, and gradually they have the need to "cover their shame".
After all, taking off your pants once is not the same as wearing them for a lifetime. Not all players have the courage to run around naked...
Even if it's a virtual game character.
The NPC shop in the cemetery is increasingly unable to meet the growing needs of players.
Stimulated by these demands, a group of players setting up stalls have gradually emerged in the Quality Square in front of the maze entrance.
These players who set up stalls mainly trade the loot in the maze.
For example, almost every day at a fixed location, there will be a guy with the ID [龙行XX] sitting there selling harpoons, mermaid protective gear and short weapons, and purchasing all kinds of equipment in unlimited quantities at a price slightly higher than that of the NPC store.
These unshakable stalls are almost developing into fixed stores, so much so that Luo Yan can't help but wonder in his mind whether he should collect business taxes or something from these guys?
Or should we wait until the leeks are fatter before harvesting them? In addition to the players who buy and sell loot, who account for the vast majority of market transactions, there are also professional players who sell homemade equipment.
What made Luo Yan particularly happy was that the first leather factory in the cemetery did not go bankrupt after all, but instead supplied a batch of high-quality leather armor to the market.
These leather armors are mainly made of rat skin, mixed with some lizard skin, and are firmly sewn together with threads made from spider silk.
The craftsmanship of these equipment has even reached the level that they can be sold in the human market. Both their appearance and protective power are quite reliable, and the price is not very expensive, at least much cheaper than those sold in NPC stores.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In addition to protective gear, there are also weapons.
Although the use of high-yield explosives in the maze is prohibited, some low-yield weapons can still be used.
For example, fragmentation grenades.
For example, improved gunpowder-filled musket bullets, etc.
These products are mainly produced by [Yikoumenle Chemical Pool], and the guy named [Gou Shi] is probably his partner, mainly responsible for sales.
Not only players would buy explosives from them, Luo Yan would occasionally purchase from them as well.
This is mainly the demand of Alacdo, the chief contractor of the cemetery.
After seeing the power and benefits of explosives, the latter immediately arranged for his own civil spider brothers to use them.
The construction efficiency of the civil engineering spider doubled after using explosives. Although the casualty rate also doubled, it was not a big problem.
Those little spiders born for specific purposes are consumables. It is their greatest honor to build a bigger palace for Her Majesty the Queen and the Demon King.
It's not just the players of the necropolis who are active, but also the vassals of the necropolis.
The gecko clan, which had been completely defeated by the Demon King, had gradually restored its former order, and the first batch of twenty acolytes were born under the discipline of the corpse ghost leader Zerik.
Their current mission is to spread the faith of the Demon King and develop his followers among the gecko clan.
When the summoning altar is built in the future, Luo Yan will assign them more technically demanding jobs, such as summoning and raising monsters.
The order of the first level of the maze has been stabilized, and the same is true for the second level.
The messenger from the nightmare land would fly over every now and then, bringing newly made crosses and handwritten letters from Ms. Sissi.
In fact, Luo Yan was not averse to maintaining relations with his vassals through correspondence, but he was still a little annoyed by Queen Sissi's "memorials that were always full of nonsense."
For example, [Dear Demon King, your most loyal subject found a beetle with beautiful patterns today...]
How should I reply to this kind of letter? Should I reply "Not bad, I like it very much, send it to me next time"? Luo Yan looked through the notes he brought from the Demon King Academy but couldn't find a standard answer. He could only reply something irrelevant -
[Hahaha, what a coincidence! When I was patrolling my territory today, I also found a centipede with beautiful patterns.]
That's true.
Luo Yan hadn't had anything special to pay attention to lately. He had basically been patiently waiting for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Magic City to remember that they had an enclave in the far east, while he was leveling up by killing monsters on the second and third floors of the maze.
However, it is gratifying that judging from the reply from Nightmare Land, Ms. Sissi was not disappointed with her own irrelevant response.
Even a little happy? Luo Yan really couldn't understand what the little devil was thinking about all day.
And every time he wanted to ask for clarification, the little devil who came to deliver the letter had an expression that made him unable to bear to ask.
Thinking that maintaining the status quo was fine, Luo Yan didn't ask any more questions.
Apart from these daily trivialities, what made Luo Yan most satisfied was Sarah's performance.
In just two weeks, she had already learned the basic techniques of stealth and breaking traps, and had mastered the use of two daggers to perfection. She had even developed to the point where she could help Luo Yan when he was in the maze and killing monsters.
The speed of progress is so rapid that it can be described as astonishing.
In Chris's words, a "devil" like her is a born thief who is best at living in dark corners and living like a mouse.
Although Sarah didn't care about the description of being jealous, and was even sincerely happy that she could finally play a role, in Luo Yan's opinion, such remarks were undoubtedly discriminatory.
It's not politically correct to speak in front of the number one "protected animal" in the Magic City, right? In order to show the majesty of the Demon King, Luo Yan severely disciplined this outspoken guy and sucked her until she was almost ascending to heaven before stopping...
…
The second level of the maze.
It's the daily monster hunting routine again.
Using the energy absorbed from someone not long ago, Luo Yan, standing in the maze, gently waved the magic wand in his hand, and in an instant, shot and killed a giant centipede in the corner of the cave.
In the rolling dust, Bond, carrying a broadsword, and Octo, holding a scimitar, walked forward from the left and right to dig out the materials from the monster.
Sarah, who was responsible for searching for enemies and pulling monsters, trotted to Luo Yan's side and considerately handed him a towel soaked in water.
"Thank you."
Although he was not covered in dust, Luo Yan still took the towel with a smile and wiped his face and hands. Then he opened the attribute panel which he had not looked at for two weeks and took a look.

】
"I actually got promoted three levels, not bad."
Luo Yan was quite satisfied with his upgrade pace.
After all, there are three people in the team sharing experience, and with this low-intensity combat intensity, this upgrade speed is already considered fast.
The only pity is that one attribute point is wasted on agility.
But Luo Yan also let it go.
Accidents are the norm in life. Nothing in this world can always be under your control.
In addition, compared to myself who is over level 30, the growth of the other three people in the team who are at a lower level is more obvious.
Bond and Octo, who were reborn as zombies, have reached the bronze level, and Sarah has also reached the black iron level after realizing the extraordinary power.
Looking at Bond and Octo who had returned from the monster's corpse after collecting materials, just as Luo Yan was about to take his brothers to continue to brush the next group, a joyful voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Master Demon! The reply from Demon City has finally arrived!"
