Later, the group went to the weapon shop, and finally saw the exoskeleton they had been longing for.
However…
Night Ten yelled, "The KV-1 is priced at 600 chips?! Damn, it’s so expensive!"
Gale frowned and asked, "How much was the one Old White had before?"
Old White thought for a while and replied, "500 silver coins, but steel plates should account for half of the price, so about 200 to 300 for the KV-1 alone."
Although it was the price several versions ago, and it was obtained by auction, thinking of the starting price of 200 silver coins, everyone couldn’t help being moved.
The administrator was such a generous person.
Compared to Boss Xia in the weapon store, he was simply a saint!
...
Naturally, they wouldn’t be able to afford such a piece of expensive equipment. So they could only stare at it to satisfy their desire.Of course, everyone did not forget the purpose of their trip.
After some negotiations, the LD-47 Sickle assault rifle entrusted to them by the administrator was finally sold at a price of 70 chips.
This was already the price after their hard bargain.
The gun shop owner on the new map had a much worse temper than Xia Yan, and was not interested in their weapons at all.
That wasn’t just a single shop they were talking about.
Although Boulder Town also had 7mm bullets, their length was completely different, and the structure of the primer cap was also different. So even if the caliber was the same, it was not universal.
The price of the Drone Assault Rifle in Boulder Town was 150 chips, and what it cost to make might only be close to 90 chips.
It was a wrong choice to sell weapons there. Boulder Town’s arms industry was much better than those that had only developed for one winter, both in terms of cost and technology.
Unless they found another way to make their product more appealing to the people there, there was no point!
Looking at the store shelves, Night Ten muttered, "Damn, this place even sells mortars?"
It wasn’t that expensive either.
The one that was a little longer than a rifle with a 60 caliber, and had a range of 3 kilometers only cost the price of a set of KV-1?!
Old White glanced around the shelves. "There are no shells here."
Ample Time frowned. "There are shells, but most likely, they need to be picked up outside the city. I remember that explosives over a certain weight are prohibited… Let’s go, we can’t afford any of them."
Old White sighed, "It’s too damn expensive."
I wonder if bricks can be sold for money here?
Unfortunately, their Bull and Horse Brick Factory could only produce bricks at the moment.
Night Ten chuckled, "How about we go to the factory to make screws?"
Old White was a strength type player.
He would definitely be able to make a lot of screws!
Ample Time rolled his eyes and ignored him. "The daily salary is only 2 to 3 chips, and working for a month is not even enough for you to buy a gun. I advise you to save your energy."
It was actually not bad that a Sickle could be sold for 70 chips. Anyway, the cost of raw materials was less than 15 silver coins. No matter how high the other costs were, they should not exceed this figure.
In any case, no matter how little the profit was, it was still a profit.
Although this profit had nothing to do with them, and the chips obtained belonged to mission props, the final reward would be settled with silver coins and contribution points according to how many chips they got.
Can they steal the money secretly?
Sure.
The ways to get rich were all written in the criminal law, and there are always people who think that others were fools.
Unfortunately, they were not.
Tomato Eggs’ Big Bird Vodka was sold to a drunkard at the entrance of the tavern for 10 chips.
All four of them felt that it was a loss. After all, the bottle of wine weighed half a kilogram.
To brew so much alcohol, at least two kilograms of potatoes were needed, which was equivalent to at least 3 silver coins. It could even be as high as 5 silver coins when the potatoes were expensive.
Therefore, selling it for 10 chips was equivalent to not making money!
With the chips, Night Ten wanted to go into the bar to have a look. There seemed to be women wearing very few clothes inside. But before he stepped through the door, he was stopped by Ample Time.
Gale said from the side. "Don’t forget our mission."
Night Ten yelled in indignation, "Come on man! Aren’t you curious? Let me just take a quick look!"
Shouldn’t the first thing you do when exploring a new map be to come to a place like this to investigate? Otherwise, how would you even dare to say that you know the customs of the new map!
As we all know, whether it is an online game or an offline game, taverns are the information collection and distribution centers in RPG games. This is common sense!
Ample Time coughed dryly. "I’ve been here some time ago… In taverns like this where people get to dance around, the minimum entry fee is 2 chips, which is equivalent to buying a glass of beer as soon as you enter."
Night Ten’s eyes widened in shock. "What?! You have been there before?! Why didn’t you write it in the walk-through?!"
Ample Time looked away in embarrassment. "I can’t possibly write everything."
Old White patted Night Ten’s shoulder and comforted him, "You can come back after we’ve made money. The few chips in your pocket may not be enough for you to drink more than a glass."
That was true.
Night Ten quickly settled down.
Yaya’s mushrooms were eventually bought by the grocery store.
Except for a few blue mushrooms that she risked her life to steal from the leech’s nest, the other mushrooms that looked delicious at first glance didn’t sell much.
Looking at the bag of chips in their hands, the four players looked worried.
"Not enough."
Deducting the mission props of 70 chips, they only made 540 chips. More than half of which was because of Yaya.
What they had at their disposal were 270 chips.
Having said that, those Blue Umbrella Mushrooms were really valuable. They were actually sold by the gram! And 4 grams could be exchanged for 1 chip!
It was just a pity it was too rare.
Yaua already grabbed everything she could before winter, but there seemed to be some left in the NPC’s warehouse.
The leech nest was only used as a bait collection point for fishermen, and the few pinches of blue mycorrhiza on the wall may not be able to restore their former luxuriant appearance in a short time.
...
That night.
The 4 of them slept on the floor on the second floor of the outpost office and went to the forum together after they went offline.
Under the expectant eyes of countless players and cloud gamers, Ample Time updated all the news and experiences of the whole day in the post.
Including putting Teng Teng’s artwork on consignment, and Boss Ya’s mushroom was sold for huge sums, they had to write clearly and plainly how much everyone’s things were sold for.
Despicable behavior like stealing other people’s equipment and in-game coins was disdainful for any quality player, and everyone believed the oldest players in the game.
Only Lightning Professor speculated for a long time there, saying that it was impossible to sell for so cheap, and there had to be something going on. However, no one paid any attention to him.
The attention of all players was attracted by the rich degrees of freedom and explorable content of the new map.
What is a virtual world?!
This! This is a virtual world!
The northern suburbs were of complete wilderness, waiting to be explored!
Even through the screen, Ample Time could feel that many people’s eyes were shining with envy.
Tail: Can I open a mercenary guild? (?ω?)!
Ample Time: Uh, this is an unprecedented path, you can give it a try.
Mosquito: Wait! Where’s my grenade? No one bought it!? (?Д?#)
Night Ten: Your charge exceeds the legal amount. Who the hell would stuff half a kilogram of explosives into a hand grenade! It was seized at the gate!
Mosquito: Damn it! My Anti-Crackleclaw Crab grenade!
Old White: … I’m pretty sure you can call that an anti-tank grenade…
Escaping Mole: What about the exoskeleton? Have you seen an exoskeleton? Damn it, Red River Town is freaking poor!
Ample Time: It’s written in the post, please read it carefully.
Boulder Town had exoskeletons, and not only the basic KV-1, but also series 2 and 3. Even the improved version of Type A and Type B, with prices ranging from a thousand, to tens of thousands of chips.
It was just like a car in the real world, with different styles, different options, and different prices.
The cheapest basic model was equivalent to selling a power supply and a small motor. The expensive high-end version was not only equipped with armor linings, but also equipped with a helmet with night vision thermal imaging. Even if the same solid-state hydrogen technology was used, the safety and battery life of batteries made of different materials and technologies were very different.
However, the expensive ones were not on the shelves and usually required special customization.
After all, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to afford stuff like that. In most cases, the choice of mercenaries was the KV-1, which was slightly more expensive than the rifle.
It was just that what Chu Guang didn’t expect was that the KV-1 exoskeleton was so cheap on the shelves in Boulder Town, costing only 600 chips.
The actual production cost may be only half the figure.
Looking at the posts posted by the players on the forum, Chu Guang couldn’t help recalling the distant past, when someone used only 200 chips to take away 2 kilograms of Blue Umbrella Mushroom from him, and then sold him a set of KV-1 exoskeleton for 800 chips.
That was Yaya’s hard-earned money!
How was that person not ashamed of himself?!
However, thinking that Liszt had spent hundreds of thousands of chips and bought manufacturing equipment from Boulder Town, Chu Guang didn’t bother to care about those chips of the past.
If he didn’t sell it to him at that time, he would only sell it to the old leech.
Most of the time, what he could do was not to choose the best of two seemingly good options, but to choose the best of the worst.
Anyway, he had fulfilled his vow and squeezed the guy dry once.
No, it was too vulgar to say squeeze.
It should be a win-win situation!
