In addition, the accuracy of sensing spread has also been greatly improved. For example, the three profiteers just now were always on guard against Qiu Yu, so when Perception came into contact with them, although he didn't have a headache, he could neither "see" nor "hear" them. There is only a blur. But if you put your perception on the floor, you can indirectly "hear" their conversation by relying on the vibration of the floor. Therefore, Qiu Yu hid in the trash can before the masked man came out.
Qiu Yu really has too many secrets now, and he can't distinguish between those who can really help him and those who will pose a threat to him in this world. Therefore, you must not have excessive contact with anyone before confirming the situation for yourself. The only one you can rely on now is yourself.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yu secretly cursed the irresponsible fat man in his heart, and then based on the memory when he came here, he looked for a fountain to clean himself dejectedly.
I have to say that this small body still has some benefits. If a dirty beggar went to take a bath in the fountain on the street, he would definitely be dealt with. And when I swam around in the fountain, others just thought I had fallen in accidentally. Some even kindly fished me out and told me to be careful.
After lying by the pool to dry his body, Qiu Yu silently calculated that at least three hours had been spent in the virtual world plus here. I still have the identity of a network administrator in the real world. Maybe that unreliable girl will drag me out to work at dawn, so I have to hurry up on what I want to do. The first step is to purchase things that can make me change. Strong equipment... although judging from the starting capital, it can't be much stronger...
Qiu Yu stood up and looked around. There was a large department store not far away. Of course, this distance was relative to normal people. With Qiu Yu's current body, any distance would have to be magnified twenty times. above. After a little analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the action, Qiuyu walked to an "adventure supermarket" next to the fountain.
"welcome."
Just this sentence is enough for Qiu Yu to judge that this boss is definitely more profiteer than the three "novices are good" businessmen. His small figure, which he might not be able to find even if he buried his head, was actually discovered the moment he entered the door. Moreover, after the other party saw clearly that he was just a poor guy with nothing on his face and the air of a novice all over his body, he was still able to keep smiling. This strengthened Qiu Yu's judgment of him as a profiteer.
If he can deal with it with peace of mind, a profiteer will not be taken seriously by Qiu Yu. But those who lack wisdom often make up for it with strength. Even if Qiu Yu could take advantage of such a person, there was no guarantee that some road robberies would occur after he went out. The special thing is that my small body has a bonus effect on attracting people to commit crimes.
Therefore, Qiu Yu retreated toward the door without hesitation. I neither intend to be deceived nor lead others to commit crimes, so the best way is to find another place to spend money.
"Don't leave." The smile on the profiteer's face did not change at all, but he had already rushed in front of Qiu Yu, "Don't look at my store, it is small, but it has a complete range of products. If you leave without taking a look, you will definitely regret it."
"Uh... Okay, let's take a look."
It's not that Qiu Yu is willing to compromise easily, but that he has been caught by profiteers with threats in his eyes.
"I wonder what you want to buy? There are many products that are difficult to put on the counter." The profiteer grabbed Qiu Yu with one hand and magically took out a thick catalog with the other hand. He seemed to feel that for The grasshopper in hand can already enter the forced selling mode.
"I want some weapons. Besides, I'm a little hot. Can you put me down?" Qiu Yu blinked and looked at the profiteer pitifully.
The profiteer looked at Qiu Yu, then at the height of the counter, with a relieved expression on his face, and put Qiu Yu on the counter, "I have a lot of weapons here, but not many are suitable for you. Take a look at this." Sample?"
The profiteer spread out the thick catalog that could crush Qiu Yu as soon as he let go, and placed it vertically in front of Qiu Yu, "Humanoid shell. It can perfectly camouflage the creatures inside, filled with plastic glue in the middle, and controlled by multiple pulleys." , as long as you sit in it, you can fly it as a mecha. Although the flexibility is a little worse, and the strength is only half of that of ordinary people, for you, it can be at least a hundred times more powerful than it is now."
"More than a hundred times! Am I that weak?" Qiu Yu looked unconvinced.
The profiteer said earnestly, "It's hard to say, after all, there is no reference item. To be honest, your body is not very suitable for fighting. If there is no powerful equipment, just a training robot that allows novices to experience the thrill of instant killing can also do the same. , find the pleasure of instant killing in you. Based on my years of experience, there should be no weaker creature than you that can get a combat evaluation. But then again, if you kill you, most others will not get a fight. evaluation, so in terms of safety, this body should be pretty good.”
"...Is there anyone who can make me stronger than ordinary people?"
"Don't think about conventional equipment. Except for the humanoid shell, there is nothing suitable for your body type for driving..." The profiteer picked up the catalog and flipped through it. "There is no way to strengthen yourself. How about using contracted creatures or robots? ?”
"Those things should be expensive, right?" Expensive is on the one hand, but the main reason is because Qiu Yu doesn't want to borrow the power he obtains from foreign objects in this world.
"That's troublesome." The profiteer closed the catalog and looked at Qiu Yu, lost in thought.
Although he seems to be a profiteer, he should be a profiteer with a bottom line. While making money, he still takes care of the needs of his customers to some extent.
"If it's really not available, should I go look elsewhere?" Qiu Yu tried to get away.
bump--
The profiteer punched the catalogue, "Now that we are here, how can we let the customers leave empty-handed? Even if we do, I will make one for you."
Qiu Yu arranged her hair that was messed up by the wind of the fist, "If you want it custom-made, there's no need to bother. I don't have much time..."
"It's done." The profiteer proudly placed the freshly baked weapon in front of Qiu Yu.
Qiu Yu's thinking was once again confused, and his eyes moved to the shaking hands of the profiteer with difficulty. It was a gleaming silver sword, with a set of red blood lines climbing down the hilt like a dragon and snake coiled around it. There was no trace of dirt on the straight sword, and the sharp tip flashed with dazzling sharpness. Just one glance made Qiu Yu feel a soul-stirring chill.
"Did you just make this in a few seconds?" Qiu Yu was a little unbelievable, and even suspected that the rapid production of equipment was some kind of skill of the other party.
"Of course." Seeing Qiu Yu's satisfied expression, the profiteer became even more proud.
"What is it made of?"
"Wrap the thread around the embroidery needle."
Qiu Yu, "..."
"Don't look like that. The more powerful the weapon, the better. The key is to suit yourself." The profiteer enlightened Qiu Yu.
"You want me to use it to fight rats?"
"I'm afraid not. The best you can do is challenge a cockroach, but without it, it would be very dangerous to face a cockroach."
"Okay... how much does a needle and a thread cost?" Qiu Yu estimated that he wouldn't be able to leave without buying it.
"What does it mean to add a needle and a thread? No matter how powerful the weapon is, it is assembled from quick parts. So what is valuable is not the parts, but the weapon after intelligent processing and combination." The profiteer did not plan on Qiu Yu's road.
"Can I not buy your wisdom?"
It seemed that because the plot was exposed, the little guy in front of him had a pitiful expression on his face.
"No, no, no, you don't have to worry." The profiteer showed his potbelly side, "I haven't seen someone as brave as you for a long time, so I will give you this weapon created by me."
"Eh? Really?"
"Yes, businessmen are the most trustworthy." Although the profiteer said this, when he saw Qiu Yu reaching for it, he raised the hand holding the needle, "So, as long as you buy other things, I will I give you this precious weapon as a gift... Oh, oh, don't go, you will get hurt if you jump from such a height, you should first listen to what I want to sell you."
As a profiteer, he fell into the lower class just by cheating. Only by combining excellent products, keen insight, and unscrupulous sales skills can he be called an excellent profiteer.
Regarding unconscionable sales skills, this profiteer has reached the point of proficiency, and the first two points seem to have reached a qualified level under certain conditions. Especially for a novice like Qiu Yu, you can basically tell what kind of needs you will have without looking at them.
What the profiteer wants to sell to Qiu Yu is a storage space, which is also called a package or backpack in ordinary online games. No matter how alternative a game is, it can have no gender differences in characters, no skills, no equipment, and no currency, but it absolutely cannot have no storage space, so you can imagine how important it is.
For this necessary existence that should have been obtained when creating the character, but because the law is said to be real, there is no such thing as a system interface. Naturally, it is impossible to suddenly open a storage space by clicking on the void. But after a lot of messy explanations copied from unknown science fiction magazines by profiteers, the rationality and importance of storage space in the rules were explained. Of course, the main purpose was to increase Qiu Yu's desire to buy.
Unlike people in the law who regard storage space as something they are accustomed to, Qiu Yu is very concerned about this kind of magical power that according to the regulators requires very high technological support, so even without the profiteers trying to explain it, for Storage space is also a must-have.
"How much money, can I afford it?" This is what Qiu Yu is most concerned about at the moment.
Hearing Qiu Yu's question, a fleeting strange look flashed in the profiteer's eyes, and he quickly looked through the illustrated book to hide it, "According to the latest exchange price, it is exactly one unit of space per dollar, so there is no need to worry at all. Price. As for whether it can be taken..."
The profiteer turned his palms and took out the same goods from the void like magic. In an instant, the counter in front of Qiu Yu was full. Then, as the finale of the performance, he even directly transformed into a huge container as tall as a person. .
"Look at these things. A normal body cannot lift them, but they weigh nothing when placed in a storage space. So, a storage space is just a space. Who has ever heard that space has weight? Of course it does. Don't worry about not being able to carry it." The profiteer put his huge head in front of Qiu Yu, "In my opinion, since your body is not suitable for fighting, and it is difficult for anyone to hire for ordinary jobs, you might as well buy some goods from me. , and then rely on the convenience of storage space to start a small business on the street. When you have accumulated enough money, hire some people to take some casual combat evaluations, and buy a more powerful body when you reach the sergeant level. If you think about it carefully , based on my years of experience, this is the only way out for you..."
"Then can I buy fifty units first?"
The profiteer was a little dissatisfied with Qiu Yu's interruption, "No, in order to be stable, the space purchased for the first time must be at least one hundred units."
Qiu Yu subconsciously tightened the law coin with a face value of one hundred in his hand.
The profiteer took out his phone and looked at it, "It's already this time, you have to quickly decide how much storage space you want to buy."
"Is there any problem with this timing?"
"In another minute, it will be time to update the storage space price. At that time, the exchange price may rise or fall, but..." The profiteer once again put his huge head in front of Qiu Yu, "According to My little rumor is that the price will probably go up in this update.”
"Give me one hundred units." Qiu Yu decisively handed the mini-law coin in his hand to the profiteer.
"Well, it's not easy to get you to buy something."
The profiteer sighed, first handed the weapon created by his wisdom to Qiu Yu, then slowly took the money, looked at it for a moment as if to confirm the authenticity, and then took a pack of transparent colored coins from the counter. Fine sand is sprinkled on Qiu Yu.
The profiteer's movements were a bit exaggerated, as if he was throwing Qiu Yu hard. Faced with such an act that looked like murder, Qiu Yu held his head and hid behind the items that had been put on the counter by the profiteer.
The profiteer raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped throwing. "I said don't hide. Each grain of sand is a unit of space. If it falls, it will be difficult to find it."
After hearing this, Qiu Yu stuck his head out and looked at the profiteer cautiously, but he just didn't come out.
The profiteer shook his head and helplessly piled the fine sand in front of Qiu Yu, "touch them with your body."
Qiu Yu looked at the fine sand carefully for a moment, as if he was facing a piece of red-hot iron. He stretched out his hand several times and was about to touch it, but he quickly retracted his hand as if he was afraid of being burned.
After repeating it several times, even the profiteer lost his patience and reached out to push Qiu Yu from behind, causing the latter to plunge directly into the fine sand.
