Chapter 510 Black Store
“Black, endless store…”
Several people looked at the end of the fork in the road, and the gloomy plaque couldn''t help swallowing.
The endless black shop is different from the white one. It is not a window, but a dilapidated and rusty iron door. You can feel the ominous breath at a glance. I don’t know what will happen if you knock on the door.
"Go and have a look?" Ma Qiao looked at Old Yuan and Luo Jun. The former was an old senior and a strong man. Although the latter was just a junior, he had always been the one who made suggestions along the way. Unconsciously, everyone also relied on him.
"You''d better not want it..." Sun Xiaowei was a little scared: "Didn''t that fat businessman remind you that you might be eaten..."
"The fat businessman may not necessarily tell the truth." Old Yuan shook his head: "For us, there are too many unknowns in this endless maze. If you want me to say that, to be safe, don''t disturb me..."
"But there may be other clues..." Luo Jun took out the gold ingot, the treasure in the white store. He saw it from the product list. Except for the indicator, there were no other clues about the export. At present, even with indicators, the chance of finding an exit is very small. From this point of view, the death that Xiao Min saw may very well mean that she is trapped in the maze...
Black shops are the only clues at present...
As for being eaten?
The two peak-level combat powers are here. If they can be killed, then this endless maze cannot be a Class A mission...
"Then I''ll go." Old Yuan wanted to steal the ingot, but Luo Jun avoided: "No one of us can fight for it, be safer, go together."
"Together..." Sun Xiaowei glanced at the door that exuded an ominous aura and couldn''t help swallowing.
"You and Ma Qiao are waiting at the intersection, and you can respond at any time if you have any situation." Old Yuan left them outside, not only to protect them, but also to worry that the situation would cause trouble. These two people are not around, and they will be less concerned when they really need Luo Jun to take action.
The master and apprentice came to the Rust Gate. Old Yuan put on the gossip and pointed at the tiger to support him. Luo Jun took the ingot and knocked on the door.
To be on the safe side, I passed the dice that would not break out of conflict before knocking on the door. The result was very low and I succeeded easily.
However, the difficulty is very low, but it is not without it, which means that there is still a possibility of conflict.
After knocking on the door, a sound came from the door. After a while, the iron door slowly opened and the folded pages emitted a harsh friction sound.
“Who?”
An old head popped up inside the door, with sparse and messy white hair, wrinkles on his face, and turbid eyes. There were no men or women. There were still several tumors on his forehead and chin, emitting a disgusting odor.
"Is this an endless store?" Luo Jun directly showed off the gold ingot: "I''m here to trade."
The old head saw Yuanbao, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Come in."
Go in?
Mr. Yuan frowned. It would be fine to trade outside the door, but would it be a trap when you go in?
"What? Don''t you feel relieved?" The old head sneered: "Then I won''t accept it..." As he said that, he made a gesture to close the door.
"Wait..." Luo Jun grabbed the door and said, "Let''s go in and talk."
Old Yuan looked at Luo Jun with some concern, and Luo Jun returned a reassuring look. The two followed into the store and then closed the door.
"Did they go in?" Sun Xiaowei said in surprise: "Can''t you not be able to get out?"
"It''s okay, there''s Mr. Yuan!" Ma Qiao encouraged: "It''s all said that he has peak combat power. He is like cutting melons and vegetables in the face of those monsters along the way. There will definitely be no problem!"
Sun Xiaowei looked at the closed iron door, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
After entering the room, Old Yuan and Luo Jun finally saw the whole picture of the old head. This guy was not a person, but a huge hand. The head actually grew on the tip of its middle finger. The other fingers formed the hands and feet, supporting its body movement, which looked weird and disgusting, making people shudder.
"Come and see my goods." The giant-handed monster laughed terrifyingly, and his eyes never left the gold ingot in Luo Jun''s hand.
The room was very messy, full of dusty debris everywhere, the walls and furniture were covered with cracks and blood, and a strange smell was emitted everywhere, which made people physically uncomfortable...
"Where is the goods?" Luo Jun looked around and was reluctant to believe that those messy things were the props he wanted to buy.
"It''s really not convenient to look at it like this. Come on, I have a product picture album here." As he said that, the giant hand monster stretched out his index finger, and five fingers were divided at the end of the index finger, as big as an ordinary person''s hand. He took out a book full of dust from the pile of debris and handed it to Luo Jun.
Luo Jun took the book and blew his breath. The dust rose up on it, and it seemed like a sandstorm was shattered in the room. After shaking it a few times, he finally saw the whole picture of the book.
This book seems to be sewn with some kind of leather, but it is not regular. The cover is full of messy sutures, and there is a color difference between different leathers. Although it should be the skin of the same creature, it obviously comes from different individuals.
Open the picture album, and use black and dark red ink to draw portraits and descriptions of various props.
Like the white shop, there are supplies here, but the food inside is full of raw, cold and fresh things, some dead fish, rotten meat, insects, etc., and some are quite good, and some are twisted and weird. They can''t tell what kind of organs they are. Some of them can clearly see the shadow of human organs... Although theoretically this thing is indeed edible, it is really a bit like treating this as a supply...
The behind, including all kinds of daily necessities, are also weird. For example, hand sanitizer made from eyeballs of unknown animals, bedding made from dripping skin, and medical equipment made from worms such as maggots...
Looking further back, there are various weapons, which are also different from the standard equipment in white shops. The cold weapons here are obviously made of animal bones or insect **** carapaces. There are also hot weapons, most of which are rusted and twisted, almost all of which are distorted shapes of the fusion of metal and biological tissues... Although Luo Jun does not doubt the power of these weapons, to be honest, he doesn''t want to use them for free.
Let’s take a look at the key special props.
Luo Jun flipped backwards directly, skipped the bargains that cost dozens or hundreds of yuan, and began to look at the treasures with special effects.
There are sacrifices to summon monsters, and magic scrolls that can curse opponents... But Luo Jun is not interested in these combat uses. What he really wants are those functional props targeting the maze itself.
Um? Can this permanently remove the wall?
Luo Jun noticed an interesting prop. The picture shows that it is a large glass bottle containing thirteen blood-red beads. According to the instructions, take out a bead and throw it on the wall. After it explodes, the liquid inside can permanently corrode the wall, leaving a path for people to pass through.
This function is similar to the props that can open the door in a white shop, but the difference is that the props to open the door are one-time, and it costs 1,000 yuan to open a door. And this bead, a bottle of thirteen pieces, only costs 5,000 yuan in total.
In this way, isn’t this much more cost-effective than a white shop?
Wait... I''m not sure whether the currency of this black store and white store is common, at least gold ingots cannot be used in the white store. Thinking of this, Luo Jun took out the money and asked the strange hand: "Can you buy something from your place?"
The strange hand glanced at the things in Luo Jun''s hand and laughed: "It seems that you have contacted the guy who opened the window to do business... No problem, I collect everything here. Not just this kind of money, anything you found in the maze, brought in from the maze, even yourself, can be exchanged for money from me!"
As he said that, he glanced at the gold ingot in Luo Jun''s hand again: "Of course, this one is my favorite. As long as you are willing to take action, I can exchange you for 10,000 yuan. How about it?"
This is a style that requires everything, but it has a black market style.
Luo Jun nodded: "I''ll take a look at your goods again."
As he said that, he and Mr. Yuan continued to flip through the product picture album and found that the functions of many props here overlapped with those in the white shop, but the expression was different.
The white shop is as simple and direct as ordinary game skills. On the black store, when the functions are displayed, they are usually accompanied by some disgusting and distorted special effects.
In addition to corroding the walls and opening the door, it also uses the big mouths of giant worms to transmit, uses rotten odor to guide the way, etc. In short, although the functions are similar, they just make you less comfortable to use.
And there is another point. For props with the same function, black is usually used multiple times. The price is cheaper than the white one.
From this point of view, it is much more cost-effective to buy things on the black side... Luo Jun was a little itchy.
By the way, is there any carry map?
However, Luo Jun looked around for a long time and didn''t see that the function of the portable map is exactly the same. There is a similar one, which lasts for an hour. However, it cannot indicate the locations of encounters. In addition to being able to see the terrain, it can only indicate two things, one is a black store, and the other is a monster that can expose gold ingots.
This function is obviously to encourage players to collect gold ingots. In terms of convenience, it is much worse than the white one, and the price is also very cheap. A map is only 1,000 yuan.
Although the price is beautiful, it cannot meet Luo Jun''s requirements. He continued to flip back and tried to find props related to the exit.
But until the end, I found no clues related to the export, and there was not even a flat replacement for the exit indicator on the white shop.
Luo Jun glanced at Mr. Yuan and saw disappointment in the other party''s eyes.
"Do you have a way to find an exit here?" Since I didn''t find it, I''d just ask directly.
"Oh, do you want high-end products?" The giant hand monster laughed and said, "Just expand the last page."
"The last page is expanded?" Luo Jun opened the picture album. After reminding the monster, he found that there was actually a mezzanine on the last page. He twisted it hard with his hands to expand a hidden page!
"This is..." Seeing the content of this page, Old Yuan widened his eyes: "All things on this page should be exchanged for gold ingots?"
The giant hand monster laughed and said, "That''s right, I think you only took one gold ingot, and I thought you couldn''t afford good goods... This is my treasure at the bottom of my box. Although I can''t help you find the exit directly, it should be helpful, right?"
The master and apprentice looked carefully and found that the price of the treasure on this page was at least a whole gold ingot. Correspondingly, the effect was extremely powerful. For example, it could be used multiple times and moved to a teleportation device at a random location, and for example, it could directly summon the store to the scroll in front of you, and even exchange monster corpses for money, killing monsters and making money efficient!
Of course, the last one is the most eye-catching one.
Nothing pass.
Within one hour after activation, it will turn into a state of nothingness, ignore any physical collisions, and will not be blocked by the wall.
This thing is perfect for the exit indicators on the white shop!
One indicates the direction of the exit, the other does not know itself, and moves straight through the wall. As long as the speed is fast enough, you will definitely find the exit!
And this Void Pass is the most expensive item on this page, and it requires ten gold ingots to be exchanged.
Is it equivalent to 100,000 yuan? That''s the same price as the export indicator on the other side... It seems that these two things were designed for use together.
It seems that this is the way to leave the maze. The final solution is to use the indicator to match the pass. Ten ingots plus 100,000 yuan to leave this endless maze!
The master and apprentice looked at each other and saw excitement in each other''s eyes.
Since you have a goal, you can’t spend money indiscriminately. The two finally left the Yuanbao and chose to leave the black store. However, before leaving, I spent 2,000 yuan to exchange for two maps. With this thing, it is not only convenient to collect gold ingots, but also to find other black stores.
A little unexpectedly, the strange monster shop owner did not try to keep him too much, and cooperated to open the door and let the two of them leave. Although it looks horrible and there are strange things everywhere in the store, it does not seem as dangerous as the white shop owner said.
Seeing that Old Yuan and Luo Jun came out, Sun Xiaowei and Ma Qiao immediately came forward: "Are you okay? Is it scary inside? Are there any monsters?"
The two of them briefly explained what they had in it. After hearing that they had a way out, they were both very excited!
Now that basic survival can be guaranteed, it is only a matter of time to save money. With 200,000, everyone can leave this ghost place!
"By the way, is the pass effective for individuals or groups?" Sun Xiaowei discovered the blind spot: "If one person can only be vain, then wouldn''t everyone have to make one?"
"We have confirmed this with the store owner." Old Yuan nodded and said, "This pass can be effective in groups, and everyone can go out if there is one."
"That''s great!" Sun Xiaowei cheered.
"I''m afraid it''s not that simple." Luo Jun shook his head: "If you can leave the endless maze by finding these two props, it''s a bit too simple..."
"Is this simple?" Ma Qiao complained: "We have worked so hard for so long that we only earned more than 20,000 yuan, plus ten gold ingots. How could this be so easy?"
"But we have found a way to break the deadlock, right?" Luo Jun said: "Although the difficulty is still very high, I think this will not make this maze a desperate situation that no one can overcome!"
Old Yuan frowned: "What you mean is..."
"I suspect that big-hand businessman is hiding something..."
