[Spend 200 points to acquire a random skill?]
yes.
[Ding! Congratulations on acquiring the passive skill "I am!"]
This skill... how come it's still there? Seriously, is there a Super VIP membership? Mu Anqi was speechless. She opened her skill list and carefully examined her current skills.
The Blessing Curse involves saying a four-character "blessing" idiom to the target, randomly causing them to perform a specific action. Note that a Blessing cannot be repeated within a single game. (After all, Blessings require sincerity and cannot be mass-produced.)
Money talks, allowing you to hire creatures from the escape world for a limited time. The cost depends on the creature's ability, willingness, and the duration of the hire.
Passive - I activate when trading, granting a 20% discount. (Note: This passive skill does not activate when trading with other players.)
Passive - Unexpected Fortune: +100 points at the end of the dungeon
Passive - Heaven's Chosen Daughter: Upon entering the game, randomly acquires a certain amount of guansi.
Two active skills and three passive skills.
This new skill is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. It's about getting discounts and taking advantage of Nirvana Space. Well… excluding players, maybe you can get a 20% discount when buying things in the game, but obviously, this kind of bribery doesn't count.
This is a skill that can recoup its costs in the long run. After all, she'll be buying the beginner teacher service later, so a 20% discount is pretty good. Oh, and the restaurant here is run by the Space, so they should offer discounts too… and those official Nirvana item and weapon shops…
This was a good win!
If it weren't for the limited rest time and the fees required for setting up a stall, Mu Anqi would even think he could make a fortune by profiting from the price difference.
"Sigh, if only I had an offensive active skill. Even something as simple as a giant ingot raining down on the ghost would be great." Mu Anqi felt that her role... sounded more like a support. If you had real strength, who would want to be a support in a survival game!
Forget it, no need to overthink it. Anyway, she has more points than other players, so she can easily strengthen herself using the facilities in the park. Other players, who choose to acquire skills, find it difficult to secure instruction from teachers or purchase items in the park. But Mu Anqi doesn't have this problem at all! Money is the ultimate power.
Player Mu Anqi
Died at the age of 20
Superpowered Old Lady Has Money
680 points
Transaction serial number 64805368
Apart from the words "passed away at the age of death" which are rather jarring, there is nothing wrong with this panel.
Mu Anqi hesitated for a moment, then put on the backpack and left the room.
Martial arts, physical training... parkour, agility training. Food, buying some changes of clothes and new athletic shoes, what else do we need? Equipment. An idiom dictionary? Ah! If only the park sold Blessing dictionaries, Mu Anqi would gladly pay 100 points for one.
The boss's trial dungeon...
Yes! She could easily offer a bounty for information!
Mu Anqi wasn't sure how many players Nirvana Space currently had, but it was definitely a large number. Players like her and Wu Sansheng had already realized by the second game that the escape game world was a unified entity, a real continent. There was no reason why other players wouldn't know that!
"System? Nirvana Paradise? Are you there? After how many games does a typical player need to obtain information about Shattered Mirror Continent? And what about receiving recruitment offers from Ghost Boss, etc..."
[Ding! The player has not met the acquisition requirements. Please try again later.]
"..." Mu Anqi scratched her head, somewhat speechless. She didn't ask any more questions, but quickly walked into the restaurant, activated her passive skill, spent 4 points to order food at the grocery store, picked up her meal, and sat down at a table to eat slowly. At this point, she had a free moment to check her friends list.
Hmm, does this icon mean... group chat? Mu Anqi placed his attention on the icon in the friends list, which displayed a message that players who are friends with each other can be added to a group chat.
Mu Anqi took a few bites of rice with his head down, and was just about to create a group chat when a message box popped up in front of him.
[" Wu Sansheng " has invited you, " Zhao Guogu ", and " Chu Zhongfei " to join the group chat.]
[ Wu Sansheng changed the group name to " Seven Nights Hotel "]
[ Chu Zhongfei ] Wow, it has this function?
[ Wu Sansheng ] If needed in the future, we can communicate in the group chat.
What does the number after [ Zhao Guogu ]'s name mean? Where are you guys now? I'm eating at a restaurant, want to come over?
[ Mu Anqi ] I'm also at the restaurant, but I don't see you.
As soon as the message was sent, Mu Anqi looked at the black pepper beef rice bowl in front of him and suddenly understood what the numbers after the player's name meant.
[ Mu Anqi ] We're probably not on the same amusement park channel. The numbers after that should be the channel number, right?
[ Wu Sansheng ] Yes, changing channels requires obtaining a "Channel Change Card". Teaming up with other players requires obtaining a "Designated Team Card".
[ Zhao Guogu ] Putting that aside, these cards aren't sold in the regular shops of the amusement park. Furthermore, they're only for players who have completed the game three times or more. Aren't you all curious about information on Shattered Mirror Continent? Shattered Mirror Handbook
Mu Anqi, seeing the last blue text in Zhao Guogu's chat box, couldn't resist clicking on the manual. A manual icon actually appeared before his eyes, along with the note: "Players with some knowledge of the world, please open the manual~ to learn more about everything in Shattered Mirror Continent!"
[ Mu Anqi ] Can this be traded?
[ Zhao Guogu ] Sure, but the stuff inside is very simple, just some common sense. As for setting up a stall... I've seen some players selling them for 10 points a book. But I don't think it's worth it...
[ Mu Anqi ] Thanks.
[ Wu Sansheng ] Thank you.
[ Chu Zhongfei ]...
[ Zhao Guogu ]???
After quickly finishing the remaining food, Mu Anqi grabbed a bottle of soda, popped it open with a "hiss," gulped down half of it, and let out a satisfied burp. She tossed the remaining half-bottle into her backpack, strode out of the restaurant, and headed straight for the players' stalls.
There weren't many players selling this manual, Mu Anqi guessed, perhaps some players sold it immediately after getting their hands on it and reading it? However, she quickly found a stall where the player seemed to specialize in selling various materials and books, including the Broken Mirror Manual. More importantly, the stall was actually named "Book Rental Service."
The stall owner was a young man in a white shirt with dark skin, who was sitting on the ground eating a watermelon.
"Boss, do you rent books here?" Mu Anqi stepped forward and asked, "I'd like to see the Broken Mirror Manual."
"Three points a day." The young man put down half a watermelon, wiped his hands and mouth with a towel, and then said, "Add me as a friend if you need it."
"Okay." Mu Anqi gave the transaction serial number, added the young man as a friend, and took the Broken Mirror Manual.
She didn't ask what would happen if she didn't pay on time. She'd already received a recruitment offer from a boss, and who knows, other players might be receiving offers from other bosses too. If this stall owner was also recruiting, then not paying on time... well, at worst, she'd just get chased by a boss in the game.
Upon receiving the manual, Mu Anqi didn't rush to read it. She now had 672 points, enough to buy the small dagger she couldn't afford before for self-defense. Of course, it wasn't impossible to buy higher-end weapons and items. She decided to go to the weapon shop first to select a weapon, and then head to the training ground to purchase the virtual teacher 1v1 tutoring activity.
As soon as Mu Anqi entered the store, he saw the 300-point dagger he had seen before. This dagger was called the Demon-Slaying Dagger, and it was obviously capable of damaging the demon Ghost.
However… Mu Anqi hesitated to choose a weapon for such extreme close-quarters combat. If only there were ranged weapons… Hmm? On sale?!
"Hello, this is our limited-time half-price weapon section." The NC shop owner in the weapon shop gave a mechanical smile, and his voice was also a rigid, mechanical system voice.
There are four weapons on limited-time sale, but she can only choose one of them to buy at half price. The first weapon is an ordinary slingshot, priced at 150 after the half price, and comes with 10 special marbles.
The second weapon is a jet-black umbrella, priced at half price at 260. It is said to be usable as a regular umbrella, a defensive shield, or an umbrella sword. However, its defensive and offensive capabilities are not particularly outstanding, but its versatility is its greatest strength.
The third weapon is a water gun, priced at half price at 360. It is said that no matter what kind of water is poured into the water gun, if you hit an enemy with it, there is a 30% chance that the enemy will randomly transform into an animal for 30 seconds.
Uh... it could be a rabbit, or it could be a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Mu Anqi was surprised that this water gun was so expensive, with an original price of 720!
The fourth weapon is a... red and white candy cane that is 1.2 meters long.
Or is it a weapon that looks like a candy cane?
The first form is hard, has no durability, can shrink, and is inedible.
In its second form, it can launch apple gummies, bell-shaped hard candies, and syrup to attack enemies. (Unlimited ammo)
Half-price discount, price is 330.
For some reason, Mu Anqi felt a shameful flutter in her heart. She thought, this candy-launching weapon can't just be a simple candy block, can it? There aren't many weapons that can be used as both a long stick and a ranged weapon! More importantly—it has no durability and unlimited ammo.
Mu Anqi's gaze lingered between the black umbrella and the candy cane. She wondered why she, an adult, had to make a choice. She had been recruited by Ghost General and received the trial token, so why hadn't she achieved anything or received any extra points? This was so unfair.
Mu Anqi sighed, gritted his teeth, and hoisted the 1.2-meter-long candy cane onto his shoulder, handing over 330 points to the store manager. This item was already on sale, but he couldn't passively enjoy the 20% discount anymore.
"Thank you for your patronage~ You can enter the weapon experience area to familiarize yourself with your newly purchased weapon~" The NC store manager smiled and pressed some mechanism at the cashier, opening a hidden door in the store's wall to reveal an open space inside.
Mu Anqi didn't refuse and went straight into the empty room to familiarize himself with the newly acquired weapon.
