Neat marble tiles pave the floor, and the headlights above are bright and beautiful.
The street leading to the entrance is not long, but there are markets on both sides. There are expensive-looking and decorated signature shops, and there are also densely packed retail traders going to the market.
The flow of people is not very dense, but there are at least a hundred or ten people there if you look around.
Some people were shouting loudly, while others were reading quietly in front of their stalls. They only looked up when someone came over.
"How much is it?"
Lu Pingan pointed to the long sword on the stall. Men are always a little interested in these controlled knives.
There is a faint blue light flowing on this long sword, and it looks like a legendary magic weapon...if it weren't for the fact that there are a dozen identical weapons on the cabinet behind it.
"It costs 2600. Although it is a standard one, the [Piercing] effect it comes with is quite suitable for novices who lack attack ability. If you are not directly fighting, I also have weapons with [Bleeding] here, which is the price the user bears. A little bit heavier.”
The shopkeeper scanned the road as if it was safe, and saw that his right wrist was empty, and he immediately became more enthusiastic.
"I also have protective gear here, which is also a newbie set. If you buy two pieces at a time, it only costs 4,000."
Do you act like a newcomer? Lu Pingan muttered, said no, and put down his sword.
He doesn't know how to use a sword, and he doesn't want to be the new guy who comes to the door and gets slaughtered.
Even if the other party has the conscience to give a market price, there are so many things on the market that are not cost-effective, and the start-up capital, which is not much, must be spent wisely.
"Spend all the three thousand you just got."
Looking at the prosperous streets and hundreds of shops, Lu Pingping was also a little surprised.
What did he imagine the dangerous secret exit would be like? Is it the kind that is heavily guarded with barbed wire and men in black? Or is it the kind where there is a sentry at ten or five steps, with automatic machine guns and monitors?
"I didn't expect it to look like a subway market."
The entrance is through a corner under the hospital subway.
Looking at the exquisite products and shops, it’s hard to make a choice.
"This way, this way meow!"
Fortunately, he did not come alone. Lei Shuiyun, who disappeared without a trace as soon as he entered, finally remembered her work as a guide.
And the shop she was in was close to the end of the road, which was also the reason for everything in front of her.
"'Is the secret realm a wealth'..."
Looking at the "new red cross" patterns everywhere in Lin Ci Hospital, and the familiar holy emblem of the Praying Girl in the Forest appearing in this underground world, Lu Ping'an felt a bit like a time and space distortion.
"Two bracelets, one at level 0 and one at level 1."
"Xiao Yun, have you reached the first level? Congratulations, congratulations."
Opposite the proud Maomao was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with slightly mature youthful makeup and a slender white robe. She looked like a graduate student intern at a university.
In fact, she is really a graduate student.
"Lu Ping'an, this is my senior sister Zhao Yingmiao, who is now a first-year graduate student at the University of Science and Technology. This is Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Li, both juniors, who are here to intern."
Seeing the cats calling her sisters very enthusiastically, Lu Pingan wanted to ask in passing, "How many senior brothers and sisters do you have? How come you have such good brothers and sisters everywhere you go?"
But judging from the degree of closeness between the two parties, and judging from the fact that Mao Mao calls everyone he meets, senior brother and senior sister, the answer is probably a lot...
"Could it be that the little one can make full use of his own advantages and become a good socializer?"
Lu Ping'an, who was having a lot of inner drama, smiled and said hello to his senior brothers and sisters.
Gucheng University of Science and Technology is also a key local prestigious school, but a school named after science and technology has a professional department of mysterious subjects, which always makes people feel inexplicably ironic... and what's even more ironic is probably Only Lu Ping'an could notice this trick, and everyone else thought it was a matter of course.
"Here, remember to stop in moderation. Many newcomers who have just made a breakthrough have a hard time grasping the limits."
After taking the bracelet and attaching it to a brochure, Lu Ping'an also knew why the previous shop owner could tell at a glance that he was a newbie.
The warning bracelet, commonly known as a bracelet, emits a faint white light the moment it is put on Lu Ping'an's right wrist.
"Very good, you are in good condition. But as a newcomer, you must be ready to come out when the yellow light is on, and you must come out when the red light is on. If it is purple light, black light..."
The color of the light indicates the degree of "withstanding original pollution".
Innate abilities are your own contamination, and they will grow naturally if you leave them alone.
The professional system is pollution from the outside world. Only by reaching a state of balance with you, the radioactive source, can you not be alienated.
But the professional system also has limits. When the original pollution exceeds the limit, uncontrollable alienation will naturally increase significantly.
Balance and moderation are the most important rules for the Keeper. Pressing the accelerator may make you stronger, but it is more likely to turn into a monster.
"Newcomers' ability to resist pollution is very weak. If you don't want to have more tentacles and eyeballs inexplicably, it's best to come out with the yellow light."
Although the other party said so, Lu Ping'an noticed that the bracelets of several senior brothers and sisters were basically red lights, and Miss Zhao's bracelets in front of her were still red and purple.
"We? We have just completed the trial and are in the digestion stage."
Zhao Ying pointed to the table, where there was a pile of thick reference books and reading notes spread out.
On the table at the back, some people were flipping through books carefully, some were dispensing medicines on the temporary test bench set up, and some were arguing about something.
This is the property of a pharmaceutical company under the name of Lin Ci Church. Since several senior brothers and sisters are interning in this company, most of them are fellow travelers on the path of "doctor" and "gardener".
Unlike runners in the "physical system", doctors and gardeners are knowledge-accumulating professions that tend to be clerical.
Like crazy runners, they consume the original and dangerous pollution by turning pollution into professional skills and introducing the transformed taboo knowledge into their own professional system.
"Knowledge is power, so do you want to buy some power?"
Finally, the kind-hearted senior sister saw it and started selling it to Lu Pingan.
The bracelet is free, which is one of the responsibilities of the secret realm manager.
But the "Lin Ci Secret Realm Common Magical Plants Illustrated Book (101 Edition)" in front of me covers most of the magical plants that may appear in the secret realm, but it is a little expensive.
"Junior brother, you only need a thousand illustrations to take home. It also comes with a breeding manual compiled by me personally, including the key points for cultivating fifteen common magical plants. It is very suitable for novice gardeners."
"Xiao Shuiyun said that you are here to set the right track for employment, so it takes a long time and long-term supervision to make the magic plants grow. You have to come over often and guard against boring people doing damage. Our company has a safe zone garden inside. , specializing in customer service for the half-year employment package, guaranteeing your successful employment in one go, for only 5,000.”
"By the way, junior brother, this is your first time here. You may not be familiar with the monsters in this secret realm. This survival manual only costs two hundred... If you get the plant sign, it will be given away as a free gift. You! By the way, I can also give you some painkillers and detoxifiers, which will be very useful in there."
After a long period of sales, I really deserve to be the acting team leader of a local company.
But after a little hesitation, Lu Pingan reluctantly took out his wallet and took out the plant illustration and survival manual.
This book is the planned purchase. As a knowledge-based profession, a gardener needs to have his own illustrated book and even a taboo library.
As for the employment package that “only takes half a year”? If I guessed correctly, I might not be able to use it.
After the purchase, the other party's attitude became even more enthusiastic, and he was called Thief Six by his junior brother.
Now, it's Lu Ping'an's turn to "see the situation".
"Senior sister, are you a second-level gardener? Actually, junior brother, I also have an interesting BUFF-type talent. You can try it out at half price..."
Thunder Fire Blade and Xia Qin are both busy and don't even have time to come back and add buffs, so naturally the quota cannot be limited.
Now that you are ready to work as a gardener, you can also change the target of your share.
Zhao Ying was a little hesitant. A few hundred dollars didn't mean anything. Can he accept the messy BUFF casually?
But looking at the nodding Maomao behind Lu Ping'an who kept saying "yes", Zhao Ying still nodded.
"I'm pretty good to Xiao Shuishui, she won't cheat me."
The next moment, she was stunned, and then her eyes at Lu Pingan became a little subtle.
"...Voice of Rules, how could such a high-level regular ability appear on a newcomer...Did another monster appear this year?"
But the next second, she was not surprised but shocked.
The red light on her wrist suddenly flashed, then jumped to a yellow light, then to a green light, and finally to a "pollution-free" white light!
The "learning process" that was originally expected to take at least three days ended in an instant, and she could enter the secret realm again and start a new round of improvement.
She reacted instantly and covered the bracelet directly.
I looked around, but luckily no one was paying attention.
Looking up again, looking at Lu Pingan's eyes, he felt a little uneasy and even afraid.
Then fear turns to surprise and even greed.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an, who was also confused, inexplicably remembered the cry of a certain big cat.
"...You have no idea what a precious treasure you took away from me..."
It seems that it is really a bit valuable, but also a bit expensive.
"Ahem, don't look at it. There won't be any discounts if you look at it again. The number of places is limited. It will be full price tomorrow and it will go up later."
