Chapter 87: Black Mist – Reality 2
Because of this news, the forum was instantly flooded with messages selling game items.
People were all expressing what they had drawn, and there was truly a wide variety of things.
[World 10293878]: Does anyone need a specimen? I drew a ginkgo leaf specimen, five points… No, two points are enough, just let me play one more round. I don’t believe I can’t survive!
[World 22839103]: What I drew was… a pair of slippers. Oh my god, why did I draw a pair of slippers? Who would use points to buy a pair of slippers?! Does anyone want to buy them? Does anyone want to buy them?
[World 4849230103]: What I drew is very useful, it’s an antidote injection. Not just one injection, but one injection available in every round of the game. It can cure any poison, such as the zombie virus from the first game, and also a super infectious disease.
Some useful abilities appeared mixed among the bizarre items, and these things quickly caught people’s attention.
[World 127382]: Oh my god, what am I seeing? Do such useful abilities still need to be sold? This is equivalent to having two lives in the zombie world and the infectious disease world, and they still haven’t cleared it?
If they cleared it, would they still sell the item?
This truly hit a sore spot.
The player selling the antidote ignored these inquiries and simply continued to post messages.
[World 4849230103]: Good stuff, those who need it come quick, highest bidder gets it.
Wow!
Chu Yian looked at the antidote information, feeling a little eager.
This was truly a particularly good ability; if she could acquire it, it might even be a life-saving artifact.
She reached out and clicked on this person’s information, then added him as a friend, which was perfect for a private chat.
[Hello, may I ask how many points this antidote costs?]
[Friend 4849230103]: You first see how much you can offer. Currently, six people have asked me how many points I’m selling it for. I’ll sell it to the one who offers the highest points.
He didn’t expect someone had already contacted him.
Chu Yian glanced at her character panel; including the points gained from this round of the game, she had a total of 401 points.
Based on her point total, her psychological price was 50 points. Of course, directly offering fifty points was impossible; calling a lower price left room for negotiation.
[Hello, I can offer 20 points here. Are you selling?]
[Friend 4849230103]: Sorry, that’s not enough. My buyers have already increased to 21, and their highest bid is 87. Can you go higher?
It was over budget.
It was really too much.
She only had four hundred points in total. Spending so many points to buy a game item, who drove the market price so high?!
[Sorry, I don’t have enough points.]
Chu Yian, knowing her limits, withdrew from the competition. Anyway, there were still over three hours left; she would see if she could find good things elsewhere.
[World 712737283]: Does anyone need a phone stand? Wuwuwu, I know no one needs it, but I really need points. Is there any kind person who can give me two points? Please, I beg you.
[World 273819389]: Does anyone need roller skates? Two points, please, I have two children to raise, I really can’t die… Compared to those selling things normally, there were many more beggars on the forum.
But thinking about it seriously, everyone selling things on the forum needed points to survive. If that was the case, why not buy items from those whose items were normal and useful?
Help others, but more importantly, help yourself.
Chu Yian put aside her kindness and began to search for useful items.
A booklet!
A driver’s license booklet!
Chu Yian never expected to see someone selling such an item at this time. She had suffered for many rounds of games without a driver’s license.
She excitedly added the other person as a friend and got straight to the point, afraid that such a good item would be snatched away.
[Is the driver’s license still available?]
On the other side, the person selling the driver’s license was also surprised. The person selling the pure boy’s photo album hadn’t sold his item, but someone had come to him first.
[Friend 23718383]: Still here, still here. Do you need it, boss?
With only five or ten points in hand, did he dare to buy things?
He wouldn’t dare!
Currently, those who could buy things had a lot of points.
Players with a lot of points could only be those who cleared many games, or even ranked. These types of players were collectively referred to as bosses.
Especially those with a four-digit ID starting with 3, they were bosses among bosses.
[Can the driver’s license information be changed? Can another person use it too?]
Chu Yian sent out her concerns, asking.
[Friend 23718383]: Yes, yes, this driver’s license, after I got it, I could use it in the first four game worlds. It will automatically update the user’s information based on the user’s details.
He had used it once or twice in previous rounds of games, and it worked perfectly.
Why only once or twice?
Because he had no money!
As an ordinary player, he couldn’t afford to rent or buy a car.
Two thousand yuan per round of the game was simply not enough. To earn money to support himself, he worked as a designated driver in the game. In the last round of the game, the vehicle suddenly exploded during a designated driving job, killing him instantly.
[How many points are you planning to sell it for?]
Chu Yian saw that the item was good, so she asked.
Points, of course, the more the better.
But this driver’s license had been listed for so long with no inquiries. Now that someone finally came, he didn’t dare to ask for too much and scare them away.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly typed out a “5.”
In his heart, the price for this driver’s license was actually “2,” but this was his only game item. Selling it for one more point meant he could live a little longer.
After stating the price, he started to worry that the other party wouldn’t want it.
[Okay, let’s trade.]
The other party didn’t expect Chu Yian to be so straightforward. He placed his driver’s license booklet in the trading area, a flash of light passed, the driver’s license disappeared, and his account gained 5 points.
On the other side, Chu Yian also received the driver’s license.
The moment it reached her hand, the photo and information on the driver’s license changed to her own.
Good stuff!
Chu Yian kept a close eye on the forum’s information, treating it like Taobao.
Today was the last day many players could maintain their cleanliness and satiety. These players without points, regardless of whether the beginner gift package they drew was good or bad, would take them out to survive.
This was the first time a trading platform appeared, and it should also be the easiest time to exchange for treasures.
Points were important, but using points in the right place was even more important.
She was directly preparing to use fifty points on trading.
