Chapter 214: Black Fog-Reality — Selling Black Fog Space
Chu Yian: I also don’t know why this game designed an NPC that looks exactly like Teacher Lu. I’m really speechless. I’m going to ask Teacher Lu now to see if he knows about this.
After Chu Yian sent the message, she chattered to the air, “Teacher Lu, did you know there’s someone who looks exactly like you who was the Hunter in the last game?”
“You don’t know?”
“Alright.”
She imagined how Lu Qingyuan himself would respond, then sat up and replied to Jie Yan.
Chu Yian: Brother Jie, I’ve already asked. Teacher Lu said he doesn’t know and told me not to bother him.
This was very much in line with Lu Qingyuan’s reaction.
However, Chu Yian’s words instantly blocked what Jie Yan was about to say.
Jie Yan: If Lu Qingyuan truly doesn’t want to talk about it, then so be it.
Jie Yan: Little Chu, Lu Qingyuan is quite peculiar. Be careful when interacting with him in daily life and in future games.
Although Chu Yian said he was fine, Jie Yan was already suspicious of him.
But what good was suspicion?
Whether Teacher Lu was an NPC or not had no direct relation to Jie Yan. They had only met once, and it was uncertain if they would ever meet again.
Given their extremely limited interactions, discussing this now was completely unnecessary worry.
Chu Yian thought about this and lay back down on the sofa.
Although the sofa was soft, the cramped space wasn’t exactly comfortable.
“If only there was a bed right now.”
She couldn’t help but sigh, then looked at Jie Yan’s closing remark and replied with a goodnight.
While she was resting and sleeping, she was unaware that her surroundings were undergoing a massive change. Until her sofa disappeared, and she fell off it.
Chu Yian opened her eyes again, and everything around her was pitch black.
All the items in her room had completely vanished, and a cold, mechanical voice appeared:
“To encourage players to actively earn points, the Black Mist Space is undergoing an upgrade.
After players are transported to the real space, they will directly enter the Crate Safe Zone. Within the Safe Zone, you can purchase corresponding items from the Points Shopping Mall to decorate your Crate Space.”
The players were all stunned.
“No, what does that mean? The upgrade took away the massage chair in my room?”
“Ahhh, I finally don’t have to sleep next to the toilet. Game, you damn well should have upgraded sooner.”
“Who’s worse off than me? One second I was lying on a luxurious bed worth five figures in the Shopping Mall, the next second it’s gone, and they call it an upgrade. I’m truly heartbroken.”
“No, you guys aren’t focusing on the right thing, are you? Open the Points Shopping Mall and look! I, who can’t even afford a food package, what new things have been updated on it now?”
Chu Yian was also curious as she watched their discussion.
She opened the Points Shopping Mall and saw that the items inside had become varied and diverse.
Bed: Low-grade (1 point), Mid-grade (2 points), High-grade (5 points);
Table and Chair Set: Low-grade (1 point), Mid-grade (2 points), High-grade (5 points);
Sofa:… (Same as above);
Lamp:… (Same as above);
…These products made Chu Yian suspect that the game’s Shopping Mall had moved over from Taobao, JD.com, or Pinduoduo. Aside from these now unnecessary daily life items, Chu Yian also saw some special things.
Black Mist Space: 1 cubic meter = 100 points.
So, space could also be sold.
“My goodness, did you guys see in the Points Shopping Mall that the Black Mist Space is our current safe space?”
“100 points to expand 1 cubic meter, that’s too expensive.”
“I, who am two meters tall, haven’t been able to stand straight for a long time. After seeing the price of the Black Mist Space, I feel like I can bend my back a little more.”
…A group of players who noticed the exorbitant price of space began to discuss, feeling that the pricing in the Points Shopping Mall was a bit too outrageous.
Chu Yian, however, made a move.
She genuinely wanted a soft bed, and besides, in front of the 100-point Black Mist Space, a 5-point bed didn’t seem that expensive.
A white leather soft bed appeared after she clicked to pay.
The large bed was 1.8 meters wide and 2 meters long. Chu Yian excitedly rolled around on it, feeling incredibly comfortable. It felt like after struggling for a month outside, being able to rest on such a bed was a kind of happiness.
With the bed, she also bought a lamp.
Of course, she bought the cheapest lamp; as long as it provided light, it was fine.
In a world shrouded in black mist, light filled this small space. Chu Yian’s feeling at the time was that it was too comfortable, simply incredibly comfortable.
But after staying for a while… Oh no, the bed seemed a bit too big, it took up all the floor space.
The space above her head wasn’t enough either; this bed was 40 centimeters high!
Chu Yian found that she couldn’t even stand straight on the bed. Let alone her usual exercise, staying in this overly confined space for too long made her feel incredibly suppressed.
No way!
Can this thing be returned?
Chu Yian quickly opened the Points Shopping Mall, but unfortunately, there was no no-questions-asked refund policy. Not only could she not return it in the Shopping Mall, but she also had nowhere else to put this large bed.
This was truly a case of joy turning into sorrow!
Chu Yian lay on the bed, and thinking that she would spend all her time in the real world on this bed, she felt like she had lost the watermelon for a sesame seed.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on the Black Mist Space sales box… Should she buy it?
100 points was not a small sum, it hurt!
At this time, the forum was also frantically complaining about the Points Shopping Mall.
“These things, whether we have them or not doesn’t matter, okay? Who would spend points on these external possessions?”
“If you have extra points, spending one point on a lamp is acceptable. It feels like even though it’s empty everywhere after turning on the light, the mood is a bit different.”
“I also have over a hundred points. I spent two points to buy a bed and a lamp, and it’s actually not bad. Much more comfortable than when I was next to the trash can.”
“Those with strength can spend a few points to improve their lives, but the Black Mist Space is unnecessary, a purely foolish act.”
…The analysis above was well-organized.
However, while they were still discussing animatedly, the game system’s notification rang in their ears.
“The first Black Mist Space has been sold.”
“As the first player to purchase the Black Mist Space, this player will receive a reward: an additional 1 cubic meter of Black Mist Space.”
“What the heck? Did some fool really spend 100 points on this thing?”
“Who is it? He actually has 100 points!!”
“Wouldn’t it be better to give those points to me? What a waste!”
The forum instantly erupted in a heated discussion, with many people feeling bad about the 100 points.
“Didn’t you guys notice? This person got a buy-one-get-one-free deal. It’s like spending 100 points to get 2 cubic meters of Black Mist Space. Damn, isn’t that a profit?”
“I wanted to say that too. Who’s so rich and lucky?”
