After A Chong deducted the room fee for Cheng Miao's intermediate general store, he hissed in surprise, "The balance is 157. I haven't seen a new player perform so well in the game for a long time!"
Snapping his fingers, the door integrated with the wall slowly opened. Cheng Miao was about to go in when suddenly a man rushed out from nowhere.
The man's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen some desperate scene. His body was still swaying nervously, and he muttered: "So I'm not dead! Great, great! I'm not dead yet!" "
As he said that, the man was about to rush in the door, "Bang!" Cheng Miao watched helplessly as the man hit the air, and bruises visible to the naked eye appeared on his forehead. It seemed as if there was an invisible wall standing in front of him, silently refusing the man's entry.
"What's going on! Why can't you get in!" The man cried in panic, beating the air in front of him desperately and unwillingly.
A Cockroach slowly flew to his side, "Hey, a thing that will die within a few minutes of the start is still trying to get in."
After saying that, the fog that had been calm and real suddenly began to shake, like an iceberg broken by a ship, breaking into flowing ice slag.
A dark and shiny tentacle suddenly stretched out from the ice slag, deftly avoiding Cheng Miao next to the man, grabbing the man's body and slowly pulling him back.
The man howled wildly, punched and kicked him. As if he had found a life-saving straw, he grabbed Cheng Miao next to him and muttered vaguely: "Help me! I don't want to die!"
Cheng Miao was suddenly grabbed and couldn't be pulled away after several attempts. I knew clearly in my heart that this man didn't even have a check-in certificate, so the end would never be pleasant. But apart from sighing, Cheng Miao had no other choice.
Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, another tentacle stretched out from the mist, trying to grab the man's feet. The man's direction was correct, and he saw it at a glance. Madness flashed in his eyes, and he threw Cheng Miao towards the outstretched tentacle with a strong force on his hand.
Cheng Miao was caught off guard, and the man who fought to the death was really strong. She felt like a cold thing was wrapped around her waist as soon as she saw it, and she couldn't shake it at all.
At this time, the man was close to madness. He pointed at Cheng Miao and smiled: "Hahaha, I can't live! Don't even think about going in! Just die!"
Cheng Miao grew up in a society governed by the rule of law and had never seen such dirty human nature. He had no time to spit out his resentment and turned to A Chong, who was watching the show: "I am a paid tenant, do you want to default on the bill? "
As if he had just seen the situation in front of him, Ah Chong flew over hurriedly as if he had just woken up from a dream, and smiled in a high voice: "We are a regular hotel, so naturally we will not do such a thing."
As Ah Chong patted his thin hand, the tentacles seemed to have been instructed, and gently put Cheng Miao back to the half-open door, and retracted silently.
On the contrary, the man who was stimulated even more crazy by Cheng Miao's safety did not receive such gentle treatment. The tentacles wrapped around his legs and waist, and gently pulled.
Cheng Miao pursed her lips and watched as the surging blood flowed out from the man's disconnected waist and scattered all over the floor along with the crackling of the organs and internal organs.
The man was not dead yet, his mouth full of blood flowed out as he opened and closed his mouth, and his hands were still scratching at the ground in vain.
In vain, the tentacles slowly dragged the person into the thick fog.
Cheng Miao looked ugly, suppressing the sour water in his stomach and walked in without saying a word.
The environment of the mid-level Tongpu is better than that of the low-level Tongpu. The room is much brighter to the naked eye. An old clock that does not look very accurate is hung crookedly on the wall, next to the bright red font: Intermediate Tongpu (20/30)
The mattresses that were piled randomly on the ground were turned into wooden beds, thoughtfully matched with curtains. Not far away is a public restroom with a simple shower room and a row of dirty squats.
Against the wall is a store like a small shop, with a wide variety of goods, many of which are hard to tell what they are.
Ah Chong stopped at the counter, watching Cheng Miao look around, and informed him thoughtfully: "This is my brother Ah Chong's grocery store. Ah Chong is away for something right now. Just tell me if you need anything."
Cheng Miao glanced at the big cockroach without saying anything. If she guessed correctly, the huge tentacles just now should be A Cockroach's.
Although the cockroach brothers charge less for the room, it can be seen from the conversation between the two insects that the newcomers are not of high quality and not many can pass the level. Those who cannot pass the level become "snacks and meals".
Cheng Miao glanced at the price list. There were props, skills, food, clothing, and even cosmetics.
Seeing one of the columns, Cheng Miao became interested, "Is this space backpack the kind that you can take out whatever you want?"
A Cockroach explored the tentacles, crawled and pulled out a small box from the counter, "It's not that advanced and requires a carrier, but the functionality is similar."
Cheng Miao opened the box and found decorations such as necklaces, rings, brooches, and hairpins.
"Pick one and it will be your space backpack. You can browse and access the items inside by touching the backpack."
Cheng Miao picked an ordinary plain silver ring. It was not glossy, but had a frosted embossing that looked very nice. The ring is inconspicuous and easy to operate. You can use it by rubbing it between your fingers.
"The space backpack is 100 travel coins, do you confirm the payment?" A Chong put away the box and began to pay the money in a business-like manner.
Looking at the only 57 yuan left in the balance, Cheng Miao felt a little heartbroken, but the value and purpose of the space backpack were very important, and this was not the time to save money.
"Didn't you say that travel coins can also be exchanged for wishes? I don't seem to see anything about exchanging wishes?" Cheng Miao looked at the densely packed grocery prices, and estimated that there were tens of thousands of goods at a low price.
"Wish redemption only has this service in hotel-level hotels." A Chong shrugged. This is the lowest-level hotel and does not have many services.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Miao still couldn't hold it back, "Can I buy it from a grocery store with attributes?"
"Hey! You also received an attribute reward. It's rare. Did you know that only 500 players who have cleared the level will get one attribute reward!" A Cockroach became energetic and flew up again.
"Attribute rewards are generally rewards based on the player's character reflected in his performance in the game. You can imagine that he is a permanent buff. This can only be obtained by performing differently from ordinary people in the game. In general, in the grocery store Not for sale.”
"It would be even rarer to have attributes that can be upgraded." With nothing to do, Ah Chong sat down cross-legged and talked to Cheng Miao about science.
There are many people in the intermediate general store, but many of them have just escaped from death. Most of them are either holding their knees in a daze, or pulling up the curtain to catch up on their sleep. No one cares about the conversation in the general store.
"The upgradeable attributes require you to continue to operate in the same direction as when you first obtained the attributes in subsequent games, and there is a certain chance that you can upgrade." A Chong smacked his lips, "These are all good things, but it depends. Whether players know how to use it, many good things turn into bad things, and many people lose their lives because of the rare attribute."
Cheng Miao put on the ring and before leaving, he glanced at Ah Chong coldly: "If I didn't say anything just now, you wouldn't have planned to watch me get eaten, right?"
