[The transaction has been completed, the host can choose an additional option. However, the total amount of additional rewards received shall not exceed the estimated value of the transaction object (approximately 100 store coins/1 life coin). 】
"I know how to do this question. I choose C. Let's get the contaminated items. The second option is D. Open the store and let me see what good stuff there is."
This was not the first time he had to make a choice. Now that he knew what options there would be, Lu Ping'an did not hesitate to take out the choices he had prepared before.
The "extra pollution" of option A is actually the guaranteed income for every ordinary practitioner.
Lu Ping'an has just completed the advancement and needs some time to adjust, so naturally he won't choose this.
Perhaps, he would never choose this in his life.
Option B, Lu Ping An, was actually quite hesitant. He had experienced the "fake silver" life blessing that lasted for a day, which made him feel quite refreshed.
Without the affinity and control of the magic plant enhanced by blessing, those tentacles would not be so obedient at all.
And the successful explosion of the second-level magic plant after several attempts was also the effect brought about by the silver blessing.
This small blessing brings improvements to gardeners in all aspects, from actual practice to research and development. Lu Ping An is eager for such blessings to be permanent.
"Give up. This is just a first-level secret realm. The upper limit is very low. Even if it is a top-level evaluation, the things given cannot exceed level 2. At this level, powerful blessings are short-term, and permanent blessings are all garbage."
When someone guides us, Lupingping saves the cost of stepping on minefields.
So, he chose C and D without hesitation.
"...The most important thing is that contaminated items are very valuable, very valuable!"
As he understood the backside of this new world, Lu Ping'an realized the correctness and luck of his first choice.
The number of forbidden items (contaminated items) is extremely rare, and most of them are in the hands of certain organizations or officials.
An individual's carrying capacity is limited, and there are never too many items that can make up for "shortcomings" and increase "strengths".
It only has a little effect, and many professionals have no intention of selling it in their lifetime.
A forbidden item that costs too much? It doesn’t matter if you don’t use it or sell it, there will always be a suitable seller and you will always find an occasion where it must be used.
The selectivity and throwability of taboo items are much easier to use than "professional abilities" that cannot be replaced once the price is locked.
In fact, among the rewards given by Guda, the most valuable and attractive to professionals is actually "a silver-level forbidden item".
Lu Ping'an's shovel, which sold for 70,000 yuan, was only black iron grade. Although it was blessed with the "rebirth" ability that was very useful, what was more important was the high value of the forbidden item itself.
Considering the huge gap between each level of bronze and silver, it is the most tasteless silver taboo and an irresistible temptation.
This is more tempting for professionals than other conditions. Many taboo items can be used for a lifetime.
"Come on, come on, it's up to me."
Just walking around in Lu Ping'an's luggage, Lu Ping'an just hopes that his luck will not be too bad, and that the things given to him can be sold, and even better if they can be used.
Suddenly, the light dissipated directly. Could it be that the pollution failed...
"Is this still possible?"
This was a completely unexpected answer, but it was reasonable with countless precedents. But the next moment, the system beeped.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the black iron mid-level spell, "Hibernation Seed Bag". 】
[Hibernating Seed Bag (Black Iron Middle Spell)]
[Function: Winter Slumber (Black Iron Middle), providing a maximum space of 3X3 (meters), allowing an animal/plant to enter a dormant state (up to level 2). 】
[Curse: Winter Famine (Black Iron Middle): Provide ten sacrifices every day that are at most one level lower than the "hibernation object". If the hibernator is a plant, it can be a seed, and the animal can be a baby. 】
[Gift from a certain goddess: This should be what you need most, all the favors have been cleared. 】
When he saw the prompt, Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was a little tangled.
"Sure enough, the so-called randomness is all a lie. It's just this bag, hey."
It’s not that this bag is not easy to use. Gardeners who have reached a certain level will consider spending a lot of money to purchase an item that can “carry magic plants”. It is basically a necessity. The problem is...
"...At least, it saves money. The portable magic planting jar they developed starts at RMB 100,000."
Due to the huge demand from gardeners, several companies have specially developed "enchanted items" specifically tailored to the needs. The effect cannot be said to be very good, but the cost is basically zero.
Well, there may still be a price. If it is slightly better and comes with a better ecological environment, it will be so expensive that it makes people question life.
"For those who don't know, this thing is quite practical for low-level forbidden objects. It can be placed in a medium-sized magic plant in a large enough space. It does not need to consume additional materials in the sleeping state, and the cost is almost negligible."
Lu Pingan nodded and accepted it happily.
The Daughter of the Forest is truly a path provider for gardeners and healers, and there is no limit to such partiality.
If a trainer gets the bag and wants to put a level 2 monster in it, that means he has to consume ten cubs of level 1 monsters every day.
And if it's a second-level magic plant... the seeds of Impatiens Flower Thunder cost 10 yuan for 10. Lu Ping'an is going to check if there are any cheaper ones.
"Not bad."
Lu Ping'an threw his consciousness into the void, and a cabbage-blue panel emerged.
Although only you can see it, it is completely different from your own system.
"...Is this the secret store? I hope it has what I want."
These are the rules of the secret realm, not your own, which also means that many other secret keepers have also enjoyed it.
"Weapons, weapons, and medical items, hey, they only cost 200 coins, so there are basically not many to choose from..."
When he arrived, Lu Ping'an was sure that option D, which might be open, was his best choice.
Random taboo items may not only be a waste, but also look too good. What Lu Ping An needs now is stable improvement.
He even finalized the redemption type in advance, but now that he saw the specific list of stores, he was still very hesitant.
"Decent weapons start at at least 500, and the mid-range black iron weapons that can hit at least 2000... It seems that you can only get items from the healer path."
Some choices are counter-intuitive. As the gardener and healer path provider, most of her secret realm rewards are related to these two paths.
Lu Ping'an originally planned to get an item from the gardener's channel or a precious magic plant, which he could use and sell, but Chris said he was ignorant.
"...The number of taboo items you can carry with you is limited. But it is generally believed that the top priority is always to make up for shortcomings and cover up weaknesses. What is your biggest weakness, don't you know yet... ..”
Lu Ping An’s biggest weakness? All abilities come with a price, and Lu Ping An is no exception.
Innate abilities can often form the basis and core of a professional's abilities, such as Lei Shuiyun's "Cat" and Equan's "Wishes Come True".
But at the same time, that is the strongest point and the biggest shortcoming, which often brings heavy costs and a fatal weakness that will last a lifetime.
"My weakness is that my life has been controlled by supernatural powers."
As mentioned before when introducing the Life Bank facility, Lu Pingan cannot accept treatment from others, and most supernatural treatment effects have no effect on him.
Ultimately, it was actually his life that had been "exchanged" into life points and controlled by the Life Bank.
Other low-level life interferers naturally cannot have the slightest influence on it.
As Big Cat said before:
['The countdown of life' is the price you pay for obtaining superpowers, and it is your own curse. No one can save you, not even the great Mother of Life. 】
The life countdown is a counter in the bank. What really matters is not the numbers, but the decreasing number of life points, which means that Lu Ping'an's life no longer belongs to him.
"...Can't accept treatment from a doctor? That would be a bit tragic. If you are afraid of getting hurt, it will be very hard. But even if I get an item from the doctor's path, it won't solve my problem."
Professionals on the healer path cannot treat it, and the same goes for forbidden substances.
But Chris, who was born a healer, has countless ways to get around the restrictions.
"...Supernatural methods are not possible, what about natural methods? In the final analysis, self-healing is just the accelerated metabolism of the body. Find a taboo item that speeds up your metabolism and improves your self-healing ability, although the results are slow. It has strong side effects, but at least it’s effective.”
"Is this okay? But this doesn't mean that you are taking the initiative to shorten your life... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."
The two weaknesses come together, but they cancel each other out on some level.
Although in some aspects, Chris makes people question how she got there today, she has an amazing background and acumen in the supernatural professional system.
Not to mention, after browsing the store for a while, Lu Ping'an was surprised to find that there were many more "self-healing" items than "direct treatment" items, and the prices were also varied.
"Easy to use, sells quickly..."
After Chris's explanation, Lu Ping'an realized that there was a huge difference in practicality between the two sides.
"Accelerating self-healing" and "rapid healing" look very similar, but in actual practice there is a huge gap.
The doctor pays the price for rapid healing, but the frontline warriors remain intact.
Accelerating self-healing is very likely to drain a front-line soldier of his physical strength, water, and nutrients, directly removing him from the battlefield, and basically can only be used after the war.
"It seems that you need to pay special attention to the usage skills. This is it, 157 coins. Please help me exchange the remaining coins for consumables such as magic plant seeds."
Looking at the silver gloves that suddenly appeared on his hands, Lu Pingan nodded with satisfaction.
[The Overly Excited's Crocodile Leather Gloves (Dark Iron Lower Level Spell)]
[Function: Excessive metabolism (black iron lower position), once a day, accelerates the user's metabolism, greatly improves the self-healing speed within three minutes (pay attention to replenishing water and energy food when using). 】
[Curse: Young body that is prone to thirst (black iron lower position): must drink an additional five liters of water every day. 】
Although the item prefix name feels subtle, the low price finally made Lu Ping'an make up his mind.
With these two forbidden items, plus the two unnamed magic plants he recently developed, Lu Ping'an has more confidence in the "examination".
When he finished the settlement, he realized that there were already people around him.
He realized that in the eyes of outsiders, he was parked near the exit of the dimensional gate, but in fact he was always the center of attention.
Lu Ping'an smiled. He never cared about other people's eyes.
He didn't think the Luxin people would attack him in public. If it really came, he could just step into the secret realm.
After finishing the business at hand, it was naturally time to go home.
He straightened his clothes and was ready to walk out.
"Snapped!"
The sudden sound startled him.
Is there really a public attack coming? So crazy?
"…well done, safe journey."
A strange voice sounded from behind. Who knew who it was, actually applauded Lu Ping'an.
"Bah bang bang."
Another stranger came from across the street, smiling and clapping.
Applause may really be contagious.
Strangers one after another smiled at the boy and applauded.
On the boy's way, pedestrians stopped one by one, either directly or after talking quietly, smiling and applauding.
Lu Pingan was stunned. He had suffered hostility, betrayal and despair, but he had never seen such a scene.
"I'm just doing it for myself..."
His whispers were meaningless, and the smiles and kindness of the strangers made him, who was used to closing himself off, intolerable.
He quickened his pace, and for the first time after his reincarnation, he had the urge to escape from everything.
"....Well done."
An acquaintance passing by said hello.
It was a bad punch, and he silently raised his right fist.
Perhaps, he was the one who told everyone everything, the one who informed others that the "little hero" was back.
The market was huge, so not everyone was applauding, but at least they all smiled at the boy.
Only in the corner of the street, the expressions of acquaintances and employees of the "Luxin Company Temporary Store" that had just been temporarily set up became more and more subtle.
Some glared at Lu Ping'an, some looked at him calmly, and some looked hesitant and at a loss.
The reason why they appear here to enjoy Wanfu's meaning now is because most of them are just ordinary employees and student soldiers.
Even if it was known in the past that the Dragon Snake Gang had some relationship with the company, it was impossible to know everything.
But obviously, their future and prospects have been affected by this incident. In a sense, they are accomplices of the perpetrators, but they are also victims.
Lu Ping'an didn't even look at them, he just walked over calmly.
"Bah bang bang."
Applause came from behind.
Lu Pingan turned around and saw Miss Zhao Ying applauding silently, while others looked at her in shock.
"Justice comes from the heart. Before becoming an employee of Green New Company, I am first a person and a woman..."
The female graduate student said calmly, without even looking at the colleagues with different expressions beside her, she also made a decision.
Lu Ping'an took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
He was still chuckling as usual, but his steps were a little more brisk.
