Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "Brother, are you really a player or not?"
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and replied (voice): "Both a player and not a player."
That wasn't a lie.
He could now bring anything gained in the game into reality, so could he still be called just a player?
Not to mention, he was also a reborn person, knowing what would happen in the future.
In ten days, all players would lose the "player" identity!
They would become like normal reality.
Death would mean true disappearance!
For Thousand-Faced Gentleman, Ye Qiu wanted to cooperate.
Mainly to make money!
And also to develop some connections!
In the future, Thousand-Faced Gentleman would have considerable power in reality!
In the future post-apocalyptic environment, countless people were displaced, human society devastated, almost no place for normal living!
Only the strong could build relatively stable living zones.
Thousand-Faced Gentleman was one of the strong, and had built a shelter.
Previously, Ye Qiu proactively told Thousand-Faced Gentleman the new method to build a foundation for cooperation.
But this info was nothing special.
Because in the previous life, this info was almost publicly known by the next day.
Thus, 5000 Gold Coins was a reasonable price.
Of course, that was just an appetizer!
He believed Thousand-Faced Gentleman would chase him for cooperation later!
……
On the other hand, Thousand-Faced Gentleman listened to Ye Qiu's voice message, stunned.
"Brother, what did he say?"
Lovely Qingyue asked hurriedly.
Thousand-Faced Gentleman came back to himself and repeated Ye Qiu's words:
"I asked if he was a player, and he said… both a player and not a player."
"Like home?"
Lovely Qingyue blurted out.
Then frowned and said, "He's just showing off, disappeared suddenly, must have used some teleport item, like teleport scroll or talisman!"
The siblings often played many games, and were experienced, knew this stuff well.
Thousand-Faced Gentleman nodded, "Most likely a player, since NPCs might not even have friend adding function."
Lovely Qingyue asked, "What do we do next?"
Thousand-Faced Gentleman thought a moment and said, "This guy can enter and leave the village freely, must have special methods. I plan to seek his help. We must use every second to level up. If we delay, we'll never catch up to the others leveling fast!"
……
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu suddenly logged off.
His main reason for logging in just now was to test if things from reality could be brought into the game.
The fact proved they could!
So, Ye Qiu began preparing some items.
He recalled his previous life's strategies.
After the game arrived in reality, some real-world items could be equipped
to fight monsters!
Firearms needed no explanation.
Only, Ye Qiu couldn't get any now.
So…
Ye Qiu glanced at the kitchen.
"Those two big guys in the low-level Novice Village are still quite useful."
Refocusing, Ye Qiu got up and went out.
He headed to the city's largest supermarket.
He chose to walk.
Along the way, Ye Qiu truly felt his nimble feet like stepping on cotton.
Walking faster, he seemed like he could fly!
Like in the game speed, but the sensation was completely different!
However, he only walked a bit.
When many pedestrians appeared, he took off the cloak and put it into his game backpack.
At the supermarket, there were few people.
After the countdown in his mind hit zero and the apocalypse didn't happen, places like supermarkets and malls became very quiet.
"Lightning Rod, Gas Mask, Insulation Suit, Fire Blanket, Fireproof Clothes, Night Vision Goggles..."
Ye Qiu had already made a long list.
These were items he could buy directly!
Oh yes!
Modern bows and crossbows!
Although bows and crossbows were far weaker than guns, they were much stronger than the game's early bow and arrow equipment!
In the game, there was an archer class, but their starting Basic-Tier equipment
was just primitive wooden bows and arrows.
That thing, couldn't even kill High-Tier monsters.
Even to kill a Common Little Demon Rabbit, it took more than ten shots!
As for facing BOSS Tier monsters, it couldn't even break their defense!
The archer's only advantage was range.
Using bow-type equipment gave certain bonuses.
But their attack power was the lowest among all classes!
Almost like a mage using basic attacks.
After buying the items, Ye Qiu looked at his backpack.
"Too bad the backpack slots can hold unlimited quantities of the same item, but can't hold two different items in one slot."
For example, one item slot could hold tens of thousands of tons of rice, but couldn't hold a grain of rice and a grain of wheat at the same time.
Two or more different items would take up corresponding slots.
Each player started with 20 backpack slots.
Equipment worn on the body did not take up backpack slots.
Back home, Ye Qiu put his two big kitchen items into the backpack.
Then logged into the game.
Less than an hour had passed outside.
In the game, it was already dawn.
[Ding! Player "Thousand-Faced Gentleman" sent a voice message. Accept?]
[Ding...]
[Ding...]
Several system prompt sounds rang.
Ye Qiu checked.
They were all voice messages from Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
After accepting, Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "We can continue cooperating."
Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "Can you bring me into the village? Price negotiable."
Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "Do you know how to raise favorability with NPCs? If yes, I'm willing to pay big money for this info!"
Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "Not online? If you see this, please reply. I'm online almost all day."
Reading these messages, Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
He knew the other party was finally anxious.
So he sent a voice message back: "We can cooperate. Meet at the usual place."
Immediately, Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "Ok ok... there in a minute!"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
This guy really is online all day?!
Makes sense.
The game also allowed sleep mode, which didn't affect real life.
……
At Tiger Mountain, Ye Qiu met Thousand-Faced Gentleman again.
But this time, only him.
His sister Lovely Qingyue was not with him.
After meeting, Thousand-Faced Gentleman got straight to the point:
"Brother, can you take me into the village?"
Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes."
Thousand-Faced Gentleman was surprised and delighted.
From last night until now, he had tried every method but couldn't enter the village!
At that moment, he realized money was not everything!
At least in this game, you simply couldn't do whatever you wanted!
Asking Ye Qiu was just a gamble.
Unexpectedly, it actually worked!
Ye Qiu was blunt, "Bringing you into the village costs 50,000 Gold Coins."
"Ah?!"
Thousand-Faced Gentleman was stunned.
Not cheap, but not too expensive either!
Given the current real-to-game money exchange rate, it was less than 100,000 RMB.
But it was early in the game.
Gold Coins were hard to get!
Asking for less, like 5000 Gold Coins, would be easy.
But asking for more, with the current player Gold Coin amounts, would drastically increase exchange rates!
Maybe even 200,000 RMB wouldn't be enough!
"Brother, I'll transfer you 100,000 RMB in real life directly. How's that?" Thousand-Faced Gentleman was generous as always.
