Chapter 78 The Demon King with the Scroll
As a Demon King, Luo Yan naturally cannot waste time on such trivial matters as appraising equipment.
Although he had already figured out the properties of the harpoon by virtue of his ability, he still arrogantly blasted the dragon to the NPC shop.
One more thing, he is most annoyed by the "European Emperor".
Next time you show off in front of me, this demon king will directly mark you as a mission prop and confiscate it, and hang it at the entrance and exit of the necropolis as a decoration.
As for why it is used as a decoration.
Mainly because he, a mage, really has no use for that thing.
It seemed that the Demon King was too lazy to pay attention to him, and Longxing Wanli was too embarrassed to bother him any more, so he wisely ran to the counter of the NPC store.
The cat lady standing behind the counter was replaced by a lizard ghoul with a Sima face at some point.
However, this makes no difference to Long Xing Wanli, who just wants to become stronger and has no dreams. Anyway, all operations are completed on the player's system interface.
As he paid the cost of binding the equipment, the identification work was quickly completed.
A thumbnail harpoon icon has been updated in his inventory, along with a line of text description.
【Item: Cursed Harpoon
Level: Bronze
Injury type: Puncture.
Special effect: Puncture damage is accompanied by a curse effect, which weakens the physical attribute of the stabbed target by 1 to 3 points and continues to prevent the wound from healing. 】
Looking at the special effects written in the floating window, Long Xingwanli's face suddenly showed an expression of ecstasy, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
"Holy shit! Bronze-level weapon!"
That loud roar attracted the attention of many players, and the passers-by around him cast envious glances at him.
The dragon travels thousands of miles and enjoys it very much.
He is not a person who likes to show off, but he is different when he pretends to be cool based on his ability. He wants everyone in the server to know that he played this thing based on his strength!
However, I don’t know why——
There was no server-wide announcement for such a shocking thing! ?
Long Xingwanli, who had been left standing there for a long time, suddenly became angry.
What a cheat!
Fortunately, his good brothers did not leave him alone and picked him up with great discernment.
"This is probably the first bronze-level equipment in the server?!"
"As expected of the boss!"
"6666!"
It’s great to have money.
He is still using Shushu's dagger and wooden shield. Judging by the luster of the patina, he doesn't even know which hand he is using it with.
"Tch! Damn capitalists!"
Definitely bought it!
The closed beta games are all sold over-the-counter, which is so superficial!
Just as Ruyan muttered about the past and walked towards the entrance of the maze, a playful greeting suddenly came from behind him.
“Yo, second-hand brother, good morning.”
Brother second-hand?
The past is like a smoke and he frowned, but he pretended not to hear and continued walking forward expressionlessly.
This is the experience gained from his many years of walking on campus. Once you admit some nicknames, you will never get rid of them in this life.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Gou Shi quickly chased after him.
"Don't go, go to Brother! Do Brother! Like Brother... castrate!!!"
Finally, when I got a comfortable title, and the past was like a cigarette, I stopped and looked back with a sullen face.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Gou Shi smiled sheepishly, stroking the back of his head and said, "Hey... I just wanted to ask if you are free. One of my buddies has developed a new product and is short of a product tester."
"Go away, don't go! I want to level up."
Seeing that this guy who was the best at deceiving didn't take the bait, Gou Shi said anxiously.
"Wait, I'm not prostituted to you for free, I'm paying you!"
The past two steps stopped like a smoke, looked at him suspiciously and asked.
"How many?" Gou Shi gestured with five skull fingers.
"Fifty...RMB! You are responsible for lighting the fire!"
Fifty yuan? !
Zhao Jinyan in real life was surprised for a while, weighed it in his mind, and finally nodded.
"Okay."
Looking at Brother Yan nodding, this time it was Gou Shi's turn to be surprised.
Fifty yuan to do it? !
This guy couldn't be a college student...
Looking at that innocent and stupid skull face, he felt somewhat guilty in his heart. However, he endured it for the sake of scientific progress!
“Follow me!”
Thirty minutes later, a deafening explosion sounded in the mass grave further north of the Beifeng Mine. Two skeletons on the hill in the distance cheered and high-fived excitedly.
"Oh oh oh!!! It's done! It's done!"
"Quack, quack! My contribution value has finally turned positive!!!"
I took a sip of the chemical pool and almost jumped off the hill with excitement.
Although he failed to produce TNT, he synthesized "picric acid" which is relatively stable and has a simpler formula!
Hearing the loud explosion, Levink, who was hunting in the nearby forest, was frightened and hurriedly ran for a while in the direction of Silver Pine Town.
Until it was confirmed that it was safe, he stopped panting, holding on to the pine tree beside him to stand still, and muttered a curse.
“What is that?!”
The Andes family is mining?
On the other side, Brother Experience finally received a password red envelope of fifty yuan.
Looking at the balance in his account, he breathed a sigh of relief and happily put on the VR device and returned to the game.
This game is still in the closed beta stage, and everyone still cares about face, and there are currently no liars who can just do one thing and run away.
Thinking that he had outsmarted fifty yuan, Ruyan felt happy in his heart. However, when he saw the contribution value, he stopped laughing.
Gan!
He forgot the cost of resurrection! ! !
…
It has been two weeks since the rebellion of the Earth Dragon Clan was quelled.
In the past two weeks, the Necropolis seemed to have entered a stable development cycle. Except for the players being noisy every day, nothing special happened.
Luo Yan is very pleased to see that his young players have gradually adapted to the game rhythm of "Calamity OL" and also adapted to the life of being a corpse.
As more and more players switch jobs to Black Iron, the species in the necropolis have finally become richer, and zombies and lizardman zombies have begun to appear one after another.
Since zombies, undead creatures also need to eat, and they also gradually have the need to "cover their shame".
After all, taking off your pants once is not the same as taking off your pants for a lifetime. Not all players have the courage to run around with their buttocks bare...
Even if they are virtual game characters.
The NPC shop in the Necropolis is increasingly unable to meet the growing needs of players.
Spurred by these demands, a group of players setting up stalls emerged one after another in the Quality Square in front of the entrance to the maze.
These players who set up stalls mainly trade the loot in the maze.
For example, almost every day at a fixed location, there will be a guy with the ID name [Long Xing XX] sitting there selling harpoons, shark protective gear and short weapons, and purchasing unlimited amounts of various equipment at prices slightly higher than NPC stores.
This kind of unshakable stall is about to develop into a fixed store, so much so that Luo Yan can't help but wonder in his mind, should he collect a business tax or something from these guys?
Or should we cultivate it first and then cut it after the leeks become fatter?
In addition to the players who buy and sell trophies, who account for the vast majority of the market transaction volume, there are also life-long professional players who sell homemade equipment.
What makes Luo Yan especially gratifying is that the first leather factory in the cemetery did not close down after all, but instead delivered a batch of good quality leather armor to the market.
These leather armors are mainly made of rat skin, with some lizard skin mixed in, and are sewn together firmly with threads twisted from spider silk.
The craftsmanship of these equipment has even reached a level that can be sold in the human market. Both the appearance and the protective power are quite reliable, and the selling price is not very expensive, at least it is much cheaper than those sold in NPC stores.
In addition to protective gear, there are also weapons.
Although the use of high-yield explosives in the maze is prohibited, some small-yield weapons can still be used.
For example, frag grenade.
For example, musket bullets with improved charges, etc.
These products are mainly produced by [A Stuffed Chemical Pool], and the guy named [Gou Shi] is probably his partner and is mainly responsible for sales.
Not only players will buy explosives from them, Luo Yan will also occasionally purchase explosives from them.
This is mainly the demand of Arakdo, the chief contractor of the necropolis.
After seeing the power and benefits of explosives, the latter immediately arranged for his Tumu Spider brothers.
The construction efficiency of the Civil Engineering Spider using explosives has doubled. Although the casualty rate has also doubled, it is not a big problem.
Those little spiders born for specific purposes are consumables. It is their greatest honor to build a larger palace for Her Majesty the Queen and the Demon King.
It is not only the players in the Necropolis who are active, but also the vassals of the Necropolis.
The Gecko clan, which was completely defeated at the feet of the Demon King, has gradually restored its past order, and under the discipline of the ghoul leader Zelik, the first batch of twenty acolytes were born.
At present, their mission is to spread the faith of the Demon King and develop the Demon King's followers among the Gonggong clan.
When the summoning altar is built in the future, Luo Yan will re-arrange more technical tasks for them, such as summoning and raising monsters.
The order on the first level of the maze has been stabilized, and the same is true on the second level.
· Messengers from the Nightmare Land will fly to visit every now and then, bringing newly made crosses and personal letters from Ms. Sissi.
Luo Yan actually doesn't dislike maintaining the relationship with his vassals through correspondence, but he still has a bit of a headache about Queen Sissi's "prologue when she has nothing to say."
For example, [Dear Lord Demon King, your most loyal minister discovered a beautiful beetle today...]
How should I reply to this kind of letter?
Should you say "Yes, I like it very much, please send it to me next time"?
Luo Yan looked through the notes he brought from the Demon King Academy but could not find the standard answer, so he could only reply with an erroneous answer——
[Hahaha, what a coincidence, when I was patrolling the territory today, I also discovered a centipede with a beautiful color. 】
This is actually true.
Humbling Luo Yan has nothing special to pay attention to recently. Basically, he is just waiting patiently for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Demon City to remember that he still has an enclave in the far east, and at the same time, he is spawning monsters and leveling up between the second and third floors of the maze.
However, what is gratifying is that judging from the reply from the Nightmare Land, Ms. Sissi was not disappointed with her incorrect reply.
Even a little happy?
Luo Yan really couldn't figure out what the little devil was thinking about all day long.
And every time he wanted to ask clearly, the little devil who came to deliver the letter had an expression that made him unable to bear to ask.
Thinking that it would be good to maintain the status quo, Luo Yan stopped asking any more questions.
Apart from these daily trivial matters, what satisfied Luo Yan the most was Sarah’s performance.
In just two weeks, she has learned the introductory skills of sneaking and cracking traps. She is also proficient in using two daggers, and has even developed to the point where she can help Luo Yan when he is spawning monsters in the maze.
This rate of progress can be described as astonishing.
In Chris's words, a "devil" like her is simply a born thief, best at living in dark corners and living like a mouse.
Although Sarah didn't care about this jealous description, and was even sincerely happy that she could finally play some role, in Luo Yan's view, this kind of statement was undoubtedly discriminatory.
Isn't it politically correct in front of the number one "animal protector" in Shanghai?
In order to show the majesty of the Demon King, Luo Yan severely disciplined this guy who spoke out loud, sucking her until she was about to ascend to the sky before he stopped...
…
The second floor of the maze.
It’s the daily routine of killing monsters again.
Using the energy he had absorbed from someone not long ago, Luo Yan, who was standing in the maze, waved the wand in his hand gently and shot a huge centipede in the corner of the cave in an instant.
In the billowing dust, Bond, who was carrying a big sword, and Octor, who was carrying a scimitar, stepped forward one by one to dig out materials from the monster.
Sarah, who was responsible for searching for enemies and pulling monsters, trotted to Luo Yan's side and thoughtfully handed over a towel wet with water.
Thanks.
Although there was no dust on it, Luo Yan still smiled and took the towel and wiped his face and hands. Then he opened the attribute panel that he had not looked at for two weeks and took a look.
Level: LV.39 (+3)
Experience value: (51/36W)
Constitution: 16 (+1)
Strength: 13
Agility: 14 (+1)
Intelligence: 46 (+4)
Spirit: 45 (+3)
]
"It actually improved to three levels, which is not bad."
Luo Yan is quite satisfied with the pace of his upgrade.
After all, there are still three people in the team to share the experience. With this low-intensity battle intensity, the upgrade speed is already very fast.
The only pity is that 1 attribute point is wasted on agility.
But Luo Yan also looked away.
Accidents are the normal state of life. Nothing in this world can always be controlled.
In addition, compared to myself who was over thirty years old, the growth of the other three people in the team with lower levels was more obvious.
Hunter Bond and Octor, who were reborn as zombies, have reached the bronze level, while Sarah has also been promoted to the black iron level after comprehending the extraordinary power.
Looking at Bond and Okto who had recovered the materials and returned from the monster's body, just when Luo Yan was about to lead his brothers to continue brushing the next group, the sound of Yuyou's joy suddenly reached his ears.
"Lord Demon King! The reply from the Demon City has finally arrived!"
