Buying Supernatural Items (Continued)
The rewards I received last night were much higher than those for the first beginner qualification mission.
After thinking about it, she decided to spend 30 points to learn the [Swift Fist (White)] skill from the exchange area.
A set of boxing techniques automatically appeared in his mind, and he swung it once on his own, as if he had practiced for many years, and he was exceptionally skilled.
"It won't be long before I can protect myself." She clenched her fists secretly.
I still have to go out to work today and pay the protection money.
Because she knew that she had no chance of defeating those people in her current state.
After Mia finished eating a pancake in her dilapidated hut, she prepared to look for her next job.
Just then...
Bite!
Daily Task: Purchase Extraordinary Items.
[Mission Requirements: Arrive at the target location at the designated time to participate in the gathering and purchase extraordinary items using "Purple Crystal Coin".]
[Mission Rewards: 1. 50 Points; 2. 5 Life Energy]
You are free to choose which items to purchase. Depending on how well you complete the task, you may receive extra rewards, or you may be penalized with points for any losses incurred.
A similar video came to her mind.
The content is from the perspective of a Black-Robed Man throughout the entire process.
After reading it from beginning to end, I have a pretty good understanding of what a party is and how it should be conducted.
Just then, a flash of light appeared in front of her, and a small bag appeared, along with a large robe and a black mask.
She quickly picked it up and returned to her home.
"Should we put it on now?"
The party was about to start, and she had to hurry.
So after trying on the clothes, she tried opening the bag she had just given herself.
It was filled with Purple Crystal Coin.
There are 20 of them.
Having witnessed the scene before, she naturally knew how valuable this thing was. And such a high-value currency could generally only buy a very limited number of extraordinary items.
"The task is for me to buy things that are most useful, but I don't know how to judge that."
She was a little conflicted, but no matter what, she had no choice but to give it a try.
Hopefully I can complete the task and avoid losing points.
Having taken her belongings, she noticed a device nearby that could alter one's voice. She tried it and, to her surprise, it worked. So, she grabbed the device and quickly left her house, heading towards the indicated location.
Before long, a wooden house came into view.
Since she was already wearing a mask and a black robe, she felt that no one should be able to see her face.
As for height...
Okay, height is definitely a big problem.
But she noticed that someone who was about the same height as her had also gone in safely, so she quickly walked over.
A slip of paper with the secret code written on it was shown to the person on the other end.
"Go in."
The other party didn't ask any further questions and simply stepped aside.
Mia nervously entered.
The atmosphere inside was fairly good, and quite a few people were already sitting down.
She randomly found a spot and sat down on the sofa.
Although the room was ordinary, it felt quite luxurious to her. Her two eyes, hidden beneath the mask, curiously observed the scene, especially the clock on the wall in the distance, which swung intermittently, emitting a strange ticking sound.
More than ten minutes later...
"Time's up, let's begin." An elderly man sat down on a sofa, took out a deck of cards from his person, and dealt one card to each person.
"Open it."
The old man gave a signal, and everyone turned over their cards. Mia followed suit.
7.
At a glance, the other 8 people on the scene each had a number, exactly from A to 9.
Let's start with A.
The old man glanced at the woman who had received an A.
"I'll sell a piece of information for 1 Purple Crystal Coin."
Here we go.
Ye Qian wasn't interested in news or anything like that. Not to mention that the information obtained through such a transaction might not be true, even if it were, it might not be as good as what she got herself.
Therefore, Mia only needs to keep an eye on the extraordinary items throughout the mission.
Later, some people inquired about the details of the message, but no one made a purchase.
It's equivalent to having a bye.
So the next person was the second one.
"I'm selling an item." The man took out a card with an eye drawn on it. "This card can release a magical eyeball. The eyeball's function is simple: to spew out dense fog to obscure vision. Compared to smoke bombs, its greatest effect is that it can also be effective against people with special powers. I personally only accept Purple Crystal Coin, 6 of them."
[Eye of the Mist (White)]
[Effect: Releases the eye from the card, allowing it to spew out a dense fog with disruptive properties.]
Mia straightened her body.
"This must be an extraordinary item, right?"
She could sense an ominous power emanating from the card. In particular, when her gaze fell upon it, a strange, inexplicably painful sensation would arise within her.
It has a nauseating feeling; only when I shift my gaze do I feel a little more comfortable.
Just as Mia was about to speak, the man next to her asked, "Can you make it cheaper? Like 5 Purple Crystal Coin?"
The man who took out the cards thought for a moment and said, "If no one offers 6, then I might consider it, but 5 is the limit, it can't be any lower."
Mia hesitated.
She only had 20 coins and had no idea what the point of spending so much money on a card that spews smoke was worthwhile.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like a total rip-off.
After hesitating for a while, and seeing that both sides were about to make a decision, she simply hardened her heart and said, "I'll take all six."
"Oh, it seems you've missed your chance, sir." The man chuckled at the man who had offered five coins and pushed the card toward Mia.
Without hesitation, Mia took out six Purple Crystal Coin and pushed them onto the other person's table.
It can be seen that ordinary extraordinary items do not have a standard price; their price depends entirely on the willingness of the wealthy.
Mia bought it because she thought it was pretty good. She figured that when she ran away, she could just exhale the mist and the enemy wouldn't know where she was.
She touched the card, as if her palm had been bitten, and quickly moved her fingers away, pinching both sides before putting it in her pocket.
"Then next."
And so it went, one after another, until Mia finally spent 18 Purple Crystal Coin to buy three things.
Besides the Eye of the Mist mentioned above, there are two more.
[Resurrection Talisman (White)]
[Effect: Makes a corpse stand up, speak and walk like a living person, for 30 minutes. The talisman loses its effect after one use.]
This item is a consumable and only costs 2 Purple Crystal Coin.
The other one is much more expensive.
[Bone-Piercing Fire (White)]
[Effect: A flame that is difficult to extinguish, which can only be preserved in a jade bottle. The flame will rapidly expand and burn upon contact with flesh and blood, and will become a normal flame after being removed from flesh and blood. In its normal flame state, it will extinguish within 24 hours without the protection of a jade bottle.]
This thing comes with a rather low-quality jade bottle; the main thing is the flame itself.
During combat, you can imagine what it would feel like to have an inextinguishable flame stuck to your skin and roasting you.
After buying a few items, Mia left, pretending to be calm.
Almost immediately after running away, she attempted a sacrifice, turning in the items as quest rewards.
This also includes that one Purple Crystal Coin.
[Congratulations, Level 3 Dusk Member, you have completed the quest: Procurement of Extraordinary Items.]
[Rewards: 1. 50 points. 2. 5 Life Energy]
[Based on your completion rate, you will receive an additional reward: 30 points]
"There are other prizes, so it seems I did well." She breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qian obtained three extraordinary items almost simultaneously.
"Go out and accept missions to get Purple Crystal Coin, then use the Purple Crystal Coin to buy extraordinary items at the party. It seems like this method is quite reliable."
She learned a little about how extraordinary items are created in reality.
It's very simple, it's just Pollution feeding.
In fact, since Transcendent are inherently Pollution, if they carry a certain item with them for a long time, they can create similar items, although it would take quite a long time.
But without a doubt, over a long period of time, although there aren't many extraordinary items circulating in this society, there are certainly quite a few.
Some people gained exaggerated power by using these props, enabling them to defeat enemies they couldn't normally defeat.
"It would be accurate to call them a foundation."
Ye Qian learned from Shi Jing that all the major forces were working hard to collect extraordinary items.
