Fair and elegant feet gently touched the water surface as Wang Yazhi slowly entered the water, holding a searchlight in her hand, feeling sowhat uneasy inside.
This was an experintal attempt. Whether Wang Yazhi found anything good or not didn't really matter—the main pressure ca from the environnt itself.
This outing had already yielded nearly ten thousand Copper Coins worth of loot, and the Blood Pelican Blade had gained 40 points of lethality. Xu Lang was quite satisfied.
With nothing better to do, he posted three purchase requests on the Trading Network: Advanced Power Unit, Blue Crystal Barrel, and Blue Crystal.
These were all raw materials needed to manufacture the Marble Launcher.
So of the supplies he had previously listed for sale had already been sold, so he now had thirty thousand Copper Coins in his pocket again, allowing him to test the waters with low-price offers.
From what he knew, he was currently the only one who had purchased the Marble Launcher design blueprint. Since the Blue Crystal Barrel was exclusive material for the Marble Launcher, buying it at low prices should be relatively easy.
As for Blue Crystals, they were available in the supermarket's raw materials section, priced at five thousand Copper Coins each.
The only troubleso item was probably the Advanced Power Unit. Many Turret design blueprints required this thing—it was definitely a hot commodity, and you couldn't even buy it in the supermarket.
"Lang Ge, Sister Yazhi hasn't surfaced yet," Tong Qi said with so concern at that mont.
"Is she still responding to private ssages?" Xu Lang asked.
"It's been longer than the agreed ti," Tong Qi replied, pressing her lips together.
The three of them had agreed that Wang Yazhi would send back a ssage every minute.
Xu Lang frowned and was about to send Wang Yazhi a private ssage when Tong Qi quickly said, "She replied! She replied! Sister Yazhi found a level 3 shield!"
A mont later, a circular ghost-faced shield appeared in Tong Qi's hands.
[Black Gold Ghost Head Shield]
[Type: Shield]
[Level: 3]
[Effect 1 (Repel Minor Threats): Attacks with lethality lower than defense power will be completely ignored]
[Effect 2 (Ghost Qi Shield): Gains one additional layer of shield with 10 Durability every 1 minute, lasting for 59 seconds]
[Defense Power: 15/15]
[Durability: 50/50 (10)]
[Decomposition yields: Black Gold X10, Ghost Qi X1]
[Upgrade condition: 340 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Mother, for what reason do I fight, for what reason do I die—Unknown Soldier]
If Zhang Dahai knew that the trio had found premium equipnt right away, he'd probably be slapping his thigh in frustration.
The quality of this item was clearly a cut above what he had managed to scavenge.
This ant that resource points like the lake bottom already counted as premium supply locations.
"This shield is quite exceptional—the Repel Minor Threats effect is particularly rare," Xu Lang said with a smile.
"Yes, it's very effective against that kind of sustained attack. If only the dormitory gate had this effect," Tong Qi nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining.
When defense power is high and the opponent's attack power is low, the killing effect drops sharply.
However, continuous non-stop attacks would still have so effect.
Yet the Black Gold Ghost Head Shield could actually completely negate that portion of attacks—it could be considered very powerful.
Xu Lang felt this shield could probably sell for twenty thousand Copper Coins, but he had no intention of selling it. Instead, he planned to keep it as permanent equipnt in his backpack slot.
About ten minutes later, Wang Yazhi erged from the lake water to recover her stamina.
The lake bottom was quite large, and she wanted to rest a bit before thoroughly searching the entire area.
"No rush, warm yourself up first," Xu Lang said, having Cao Yaxuan trade over a devil pepper.
This thing could warm up the body.
At least that's what the description said.
After Wang Yazhi ate it, she imdiately turned red and heated up.
Xu Lang's mouth twitched, feeling he'd done sothing stupid, and quickly handed Wang Yazhi a functional drink.
After quite a bit of fussing around, Wang Yazhi went back into the water.
Half an hour later, the three of them left the lakeside pavilion.
It seed only the lake bottom directly beneath the lakeside pavilion had good loot—the other peripheral areas didn't have much of anything.
"Eek~ I always feel like Rust Lake is kind of strange. If it were during ga ti, I wouldn't want to co here at all," Tong Qi said, hugging her shoulders and shivering as the night wind blew.
"Hehe, maybe it's because your constitution is too weak," Wang Yazhi chuckled lightly, glancing at her dress and finding it had completely dried.
The self-cleaning effect of level 4 clothing was really quite good.
"Where should we go now?" Tong Qi looked at Xu Lang.
"Let's head back. I need to cultivate," Xu Lang replied.
Cultivating outside wasn't very convenient. The Dragon Elephant Combat thod consud stamina, and ditation was even more demanding.
...
At seven in the morning, Xu Lang woke from ditation and connected to the "Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society" signal channel.
He had missed the gathering yesterday—he couldn't miss it again today.
Cao Yaxuan and the other three girls sat nearby, quietly watching the radio.
There were four players in the channel: Rainy Night Blade, Heavy Armor Maniac, Lone Wanderer, and Midnight Fierce Zero.
These were all top-tier expert players who had achieved the Top Player rank at least once.
[Zero Number connecting to radio signal]
[Rainy Night Blade continuing to speak...]
"Whoa, Zero Number, you finally ca online! When you didn't show up yesterday, I thought you'd kicked the bucket," Rainy Night Blade said in his usual mature uncle voice.
Hearing this, Xu Lang pressed the microphone button, then took out a voice changer he'd casually acquired and replied, "I had so business yesterday."
"What? Are you guys in the middle of a ga over there?" Rainy Night Blade asked quickly.
"Sothing like that," Xu Lang answered ambiguously, then went off microphone.
"Probably no one else is coming. If anyone has anything to say, let's get to it quickly," Heavy Armor Maniac ca on microphone at that point, his voice very deep and resonant.
No one seed particularly curious about Xu Lang.
"Then I'll go first," Lone Wanderer spoke up, his voice purely electronic and chanical: "We just finished a ga today when the black market rchant showed up."
"Black market rchant? What's his na? What does he sell?" Rainy Night Blade beca interested.
"His na is Kirby, and he sells all sorts of things—it's not fixed. But he definitely has capability—lots of good rchandise," Lone Wanderer replied.
Rainy Night Blade: "I see..."
Heavy Armor Maniac: "What's the rarest item he has..."
Lone Wanderer: "..."
Xu Lang listened carefully and roughly sketched out a profile of this black market rchant.
—A rchant who sells goods in various dormitory buildings, and not even human.
"To think there are beings capable of traveling through the Blood Mist World—truly incredible."
Just as Xu Lang was thinking this, Lone Wanderer suddenly dropped a sowhat valuable piece of intelligence.
Lone Wanderer: "There's one piece of information I can share with you: this Kirby loves spicy food. If you have anything spicy on the Trading Network, you might want to stock up a bit."
Rainy Night Blade: "Good, good! I happen to have so ghost peppers here. I hope he cos directly to our dormitory building next ti."
Lone Wanderer: "Ordinary peppers below level three aren't very useful."
Heavy Armor Maniac: "During my fifth round ga, I killed vegetable monsters and got so high-level peppers, hehe..."
Rainy Night Blade: "Damn, Maniac, you got lucky again!"
Heavy Armor Maniac: "Haha, there's no guarantee he'll co to though!"
