"The price? The price is everything your eyes can see."
Yang Tao said this calmly, but it left Dasha sowhat confused.
"However, I can first allow you to exchange ten bottles of Almond water for one bottle of potion, but only this once. If you want to exchange later, you'll need 20 bottles. Of course, so poisonous Almond water, cashew water, or even those poisonous black liquids from the Level 3 pipes can also be used, but the exchange ratio will need to be discussed."
One bottle of [Gray Almond Water] can be exchanged for 20 energy points, so 20 bottles would yield 400 energy points. This is much simpler than digging walls, though digging walls offers stability.
As for the cost… are you talking about cost with Minecraft?
Nowadays, the Cleric Villagers are almost tired of refining potions every day. Yang Tao has seen him climb onto the roof several tis, wanting to be struck by lightning to transform into a Witch.
However, after Yang Tao comforted him with erald, his emotions are much more stable now.
Dasha's face showed a surprised expression as she said, "Really?"
"We are both rchants, and the most important thing, of course, is integrity…"
Dasha can freely enter and exit Level 283, which clearly indicates she is a mber of B.N.T.G..
"Okay, co with ."
Dasha's pace noticeably quickened. After more than ten minutes, the two arrived in a guest room.
The guest room was very clean, and there were no strange slls in the air. Yang Tao scanned the room and said with so surprise, "Your room even has a suite?"
The outer room had been converted into a living room and dining room, and there was an open door on the wall leading to a bedroom.
Upon entering the room, Dasha walked towards the refrigerator. Hearing his words, she explained, "Every room in the Level 13 Apartnt is different. So have different decor styles, others vary in size."
"My room is only decent, I'd say. On this level, there are many rooms similar to presidential suites, but I feel this size is enough for ."
As she spoke, Dasha had already opened the refrigerator door. Inside, besides so food, it was fully stocked with Almond water.
She directly took out ten bottles of Almond water and placed them on a nearby table.
"I want to exchange for a bottle of Fire Resistance Potion."
Although the Fire Resistance Potion cannot turn her into a supe capable of tearing Entities apart, in certain special circumstances, its effect can be much stronger than other potions.
Stepping on the soft carpet, Yang Tao walked over and put the Almond water into his backpack. Hmm… there was no prompt for "cashew water" or "Almond water mixed with XX."
He took out a bottle of Fire Resistance Potion from his backpack and handed it to her, kindly reminding her, "Rember, it only lasts for 8 minutes, and it only protects against fire and high temperatures. Don't think about using it against bombs; those are two different types of damage."
Dasha looked at the bright orange Fire Resistance Potion in her hand and nodded, saying, "I understand what you an. Don't worry, this is just for saving my life."
She carefully tucked the potion into the satchel at her waist, her blue eyes looking at Yang Tao as she said, "There are many problematic bottles of Almond water, and so extra cashew water, stored in the warehouse of the rchant's House on Level 1."
"See if they can be traded?"
"Of course, you can go find Eric. He is my spokesperson. In the future, anything I have will be communicated to you through him."
Eric had long been noticed by the higher-ups of M.E.G. and B.N.T.G.. Even if he tried to distance himself, it would be impossible for Eric to clear his na. Since that's the case, he might as well solidify this point. The stronger he becos, the safer Eric will be.
Dasha sowhat doubtfully kept Eric's na in mind. She didn't ask too many questions to avoid annoying Yang Tao.
"It might take so ti for the M.E.G. people to arrive. If you want to go to Level 14 and see if there's anything you need, I will definitely help you if I can…"
Yang Tao looked at the woman in front of him, a smile on his face as he teased, "You just need to give the Almond water you said you'd give for free earlier. As for the rest…"
He looked her up and down.
"As for the rest, let's just forget about it."
Dasha: "…"
She reopened the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of Almond water, and placed them on the table, saying, "Now I feel like you are human. Most Entities, even if they aren't afraid of Almond water, don't like to touch it. Soone like you is really rare."
As she spoke, Dasha kept observing Yang Tao's expression, but found that his expression didn't change much.
Placing the Almond water on the table, Yang Tao tossed the bottles into his backpack. There's no reason to refuse a free gift like this.
"To be honest, aren't humans also a type of Entity? This distinction doesn't really make sense."
Dasha nodded slightly upon hearing this.
At this mont, a new ssage popped up on the computer.
[M.E.G. Investigator: I have arrived at Level 13. I'll be there soon.]
[Level 13, I'll pick you up in a bit…]
Dasha then said, "No need. If he truly is an M.E.G. Investigator, he has passage rights within almost all human groups. I'll just send him the room number."
Dasha walked to a nearby computer and started operating it, sending a ssage to the so-called M.E.G. Investigator.
"Hmm… I just feel like it's a bit like, either you let him co over, or M.E.G. will bring people over."
"Haha, your description is quite apt. However, the reason M.E.G. Investigators have such privileges is because they explore the Backrooms with their lives."
As she spoke, she opened the M.E.G. database on the computer, scrolled to the very bottom of the level introductions, and said, "Look, so investigators never return, leaving behind only diaries and equipnt. These were accidentally recovered by new investigators, which is why the database is so rich with information."
"Even every text modification in this database represents the sacrifice of one or even multiple investigators. But even so, many people still join the ranks of investigators. They are very admirable."
Hearing Dasha's words, Yang Tao nodded lightly.
The many Wretches and Facelings in the Backrooms indicate that many humans struggle to even maintain a normal life, yet so choose self-sacrifice to make survival easier for more humans.
The two chatted in the room for a while.
At that mont, there was a knock at the door.
Dasha got up and opened the door. A man around thirty years old stood at the doorway, panting, and said:
"Sorry, I ran into a Wretch on the way and was delayed for so ti."
Walking into the room, the man clearly paused when he saw Yang Tao sitting on the sofa, saying, "It's you, Yang Tao…"
"Oh? You saw my information?"
"Of course, your information has been passed down by the M.E.G. higher-ups, especially to us explorers."
The man showed a helpless smile and continued, "If we had known it was you, our superiors might have co personally."
"Let introduce myself, Nari. Oh, and this is your terminal."
As he spoke, the man pulled out a strange device from his pocket, a wrist-mounted instrunt similar to a Pip-Boy from Fallout 4.
"This is the latest model of the terminal. It can enhance wireless signals, is fireproof, waterproof, extrely durable, and can take photos, videos, and audio recordings. Through it, you can directly connect to the M.E.G. database."
Yang Tao took the terminal handed to him and tested it briefly, finding that it was purely a fool-proof device. Thinking about it, it makes sense; in critical monts when information needs to be recorded, if you still need to unlock this and unlock that, people might die before any data is saved.
"Thank you for now. Since the equipnt is settled, Ms. Dasha, please take to a place where I can enter Level 14."
