Chapter 30 An Unexpected Harvest
Obviously, Fang Senyan immediately put on the first trench coat-like armor. For him, even a Charisma increase of 1 point was pretty good, considering the reward for getting through this world was only 1 free attribute point. The second piece of equipment, however, made him frown. At first glance, the data for this perfectly repaired cobalt steel alloy exoskeleton had actually decreased across the board. First, the upper limit of attack power fell from 33 points to 19 points. Second, one of the interfaces in the attachable device was damaged. Finally, even the additional weapon effects of this type were removed.
However, Fang Senyan immediately noticed an additional attribute: all your basic attributes +1. He immediately felt that all the previous weakening was worth it. In fact, among all the light blue equipment's additional attributes, this one had the highest gold content. Because in this way, it was actually equivalent to an extra seven basic attribute points! Although these attribute points could not be allocated by himself, their value to Fang Senyan, who was just entering the world, was extremely precious. It could be regarded as compensation for Fang Senyan's huge risk of being chased by the FBI.
It is also worth mentioning that although the upper limit of the equipment's attack power dropped sharply by 14 points, its lower limit of attack power increased from 3 points to 18 points. This kind of adjustment was equivalent to weakening the equipment's explosive force, making the damage output more stable when attacking enemies. Its value should have increased rather than decreased.
For people who like adventure, a sudden burst of power is undoubtedly what they love, but for Fang Senyan, who is good at planning, stability is the first priority. As for random and uncontrollable variables, the fewer the better—whether this variable is good or bad, it may disrupt the layout and rhythm of the battle, which is a big taboo for a planner.
In fact, even in the real world, a company with a stable cash flow is much more promising than a company with large fluctuations in revenue—even if the annual profits of the two are not much different. It must be noted that in the real world, stable income is also an important reason why civil servants are favored when seeking marriage. This shows that the word "stability" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the vast number of women of childbearing age and their parents.
Because the requirement to wear the cobalt steel alloy exoskeleton had been increased to 9 points of Strength, Fang Senyan had to allocate the unassigned free attribute point to Strength. After he had equipped all the equipment (including the gold-cased pocket watch), his own attributes were as follows: (At this time, the 50% world bonus had disappeared)
Strength 10 (9+1) / Agility 7 (6+1) / Constitution 14 (12+1+1) / Perception 12 (11+1) / Charisma 8 (6+1+1) / Intelligence 6 (5+1) / Spirit 5 (4+1)
Note: The former value in the parentheses is the basic attribute, and the latter is the equipment bonus.
Fang Senyan calculated for a while, and then tried to connect with the space through the Nightmare Imprint, trying to buy some suitable props or abilities, but the prompt he got was that the merit value was insufficient and the authority was insufficient. The only thing he could buy was two basic abilities: Basic Eloquence and Basic Meditation. These two basic abilities were not what Fang Senyan urgently needed, and the prices were very expensive. Just learning them would cost three thousand universal points, and after learning them, he would have to use potential points to upgrade them. Poor Fang Senyan only had four hundred and twenty universal points all over his body, so even if he wanted to spend money, his heart was willing but his strength was insufficient.
After sighing, Fang Senyan stood up, but was surprised to find that there was no door to go out. The entire room was integrated. However, just when he thought about "How should I get out?", the Nightmare Imprint on his chest automatically shot out a ray of light, shining on the opposite wall, where a door immediately appeared. After Fang Senyan walked out of his exclusive room, he looked back and saw that the door had completely dissolved back into the wall, leaving no trace, and was still moving at a uniform speed. Of course, this was also to prevent others from coming to the room to identify your identity.
Fang Senyan turned around and looked up, taking a deep breath. A huge space appeared in front of him! This space gave people a feeling of infinite coverage, emitting a faint red light. To be precise, the surrounding walls were like a huge arched eggshell, and his room was surrounded in the shell.
Fang Senyan squatted down and pressed the ground with his fingers. It was not hard, but rather a little soft, giving people the feeling that it was an organic body with body temperature and elasticity. In front of him was an unusually wide square, with at least a thousand people squatting, standing, sitting, or communicating with gestures and noisy talking, like a market.
Each person's head in the square was shrouded in a layer of mist, so hazy that even the facial features could not be seen clearly, presumably a protection mechanism specially set up by the Nightmare Space. Around the central square, there were also several circular light gates emitting stronger light, with ripples like light spots from time to time, and he did not know what they were for. However, it was still possible to see people going in and out occasionally, and it did not seem to be a forbidden area.
For Fang Senyan, he had vaguely guessed the function of this place, so he walked towards the nearest gathering place. As he expected, the squatting/sitting people were selling things. In front of them floated holographic 3D projections of the things for sale, as well as various detailed parameters, almost all of which were props and equipment brought out from the Nightmare World, but the asking prices were a bit too high.
For example, the price of a half-damaged pistol could climb to 500 universal points, not even including bullets. Some foods and medicines could quickly restore health during or after battles. In addition, there were also basic ability scrolls for sale, but the price was only a little cheaper than the official price.
After arriving at this place where he could trade, Fang Senyan quickly took stock of the items on his body: obviously, the cobalt steel alloy exoskeleton was listed as a non-sale item. The gold-cased pocket watch could increase a very useful point of Constitution, so it could not be sold either. Given his lack of Agility, he would most likely focus on close combat attacks for a long period of time, so the "Reduce enemy's hit rate by 1%" attribute of the FBI-customized trench coat was also quite valuable. The unpurified Black Blood Orchid essence, if used at the right time, was equivalent to an extra life, so naturally it could not be abandoned.
Therefore, after counting, the only things he could take out for trade were the scroll: Lightweight Firearm Proficiency, the dog tag dropped from the killed Delta Force member (unidentified), of course, and the four hundred and twenty universal points, as well as the information on the Terminator T-750 and FBI agents collected by Fang Senyan.
Fang Senyan was not in a hurry to complete the transaction, but walked slowly through this busy market, constantly collecting various information. He often smuggled goods for sale when he was a crew member, and was quite skilled in this kind of private transaction. Unfortunately, the space's protection prevented him from observing the sellers' psychology here, otherwise, he would be able to earn extra profits if he encountered those who were eager to cash out.
After browsing half of the market, Fang Senyan frowned slightly, because he found that almost all the people nearby were selling information. The information on the Terminator T-750 and FBI elite agents that he had in his hands was unusually cheap, with a selling price of only 50 universal points, and it seemed that the buyers' desire to consume was not strong. It should be because there were quite a lot of people going to the Terminator world and the frequency of these two appearing was very high. However, there were also sky-high prices for information. For example, next to him was a piece of information about the Predator Elder, and it was only "partial", but even so, it was sold at a high price of 5000 universal points.
After touring the entire market, Fang Senyan had a certain understanding of the entire market. There was no doubt that for him, who possessed the Tenacity talent, if he wanted to maximize this attribute, then high-defense equipment and props would be the priority purchase targets, followed by high-Constitution equipment and props. In this world, the person who can persist to the end is often the one who laughs last.
So Fang Senyan paid 100 universal points to the space through the Nightmare Imprint, and then found an open space to start selling activities. The Nightmare Space was different from the Nightmare World. Naturally, there was a protection mechanism, with many rules. He could not attack others, and the transaction also had an automatic detection and protection function, so Fang Senyan could confidently display the things he wanted to sell in front of him. Naturally, there would be a holographic projection in the air above to promote and introduce them. If anyone was interested, they could directly pick them up to check the actual item without any problems. If they left the market with something that did not belong to them, then the item would be automatically returned.
Although he had already planned the non-sale items and the items worth selling, Fang Senyan still took out all his equipment and placed it on the display table. The purpose was naturally to gather popularity and attract more people to come. For people wandering in the market, a new stall always had a certain attraction, so soon there were contractors who came to pick up goods.
It had to be said that the few things Fang Senyan had obtained were quite practical. In just ten minutes, five or six people had expressed their intention to buy. However, what surprised Fang Senyan was that the most sought-after item was actually the gold-cased pocket watch!
