Chapter 2 Buying Games

Qinglian Square, Xiyuan Road.

This is a street where old men and women in Shuangrong County play in the shade. Usually, when the weather is good, there will be old men and women playing board games or dancing here.

Because the urban management basically does not manage, it has evolved for a long time, and some people will set up stalls to sell items here, and some profiteers will use some strange goods to coax those old people.

Although the thing is not too expensive to sell, it is definitely far from its own value.

By the evening, many people had already closed the stalls.

Lin Qian'an got off the taxi and quickly walked into the street.

Before that, I have visited three streets with roadside stalls, this is the fourth one.

But unfortunately, he did not see the so-called stalks.

Lin Qian'an's observation was very careful and fast. From time to time, he would pick up some items related to the descriptions of golden fingers and special items in the novel.

Among them are some rings, orbs, martial arts cheats and quirky crafts.

Lin Qian'an's speed was very fast. In less than half an hour, he came to the end of the street. At this time, there were only two or three stalls left, and he hadn't seen them yet, and they were all closing down.

It's a pity that he still hasn't found any items related to the stalk.

Lin Qianan walked towards the stalls that were closing.

Just in time, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of me.

[Hint: There is a stalk near the host, which has been marked. 】

When Lin Qianan saw the prompt, he looked around naturally.

At the same time, he also saw the stalk.

It was the goods that existed on a stall that was closing.

The appearance is a dark and simple metal ring, which is now a faint red light in Lin Qian'an's eyes.

Maybe the production process is not in place, or it may be too old, and some of the paint has faded.

It itself is in the corner of the booth and looks unobtrusive.

But because of this, Lin Qianan felt that it was quite in line with the characteristics of the stalk.

The owner of the stall was an old man who looked to be around sixty years old. He didn't pack things fast, and at this time less than one-third of the time was packed, so Lin Qianan didn't rush forward to buy this ring. .

He quietly retreated a distance, and then found that the red light of the ring also disappeared.

Obviously, this detection range is limited.

Lin Qianan stepped forward and slowly walked towards the booth.

When the ring in his eyes glowed red again, he began to calculate the approximate distance.

After a while, he came to the front of the booth.

About twelve steps away, his average step is about seventy centimeters per step. Including the distance from the ring at this time, it is about one meter, so the distance is about ten meters.

I just don't know if the detection distance is fixed or growable.

If he can grow, how does he grow, and does it have anything to do with him?

While thinking, Lin Qianan also squatted down, picked up the things on the booth and looked at it.

Most of the items in this booth are some ancient books from 70 to 80 years ago. They are all novels and comics. The printing and publishing time is relatively old, and they do not look like fakes.

Lin Qianan carefully picked it up and looked at it, with a deliberately interested expression on his face.

"How about it, handsome, do you want to buy a collection?"

When the stall owner saw Lin Qian'an's expression, he couldn't help asking.

Lin Qianan's face moved slightly and asked, "What price?"

"A comic book is 30 yuan, and a novel is 20 yuan a book." The boss said.

"It's expensive." Lin Qianan shook his head and said.

"These are all out-of-print books. The purchase price is not cheap. You think it is too expensive, and I think it is too expensive!" The boss also shook his head.

"How about I buy two copies for twenty yuan each?" Lin Qianan asked.

Hearing this, the boss showed a hesitant expression, and immediately sighed: "Forget it, I'll close the stall and leave immediately, and sell you two copies at a loss, handsome guy, pick it up!"

Hearing this, Lin Qianan carefully flipped through a few books, and immediately picked out a popular martial arts comic and a martial arts novel, then took out his mobile phone and asked, "Is it four? Ten?"

"Scan the code!" The boss showed a helpless expression and said, "Forty is forty. I have set up a stall here for so long, how could I lie to you?"

Lin Qianan nodded and began to enter the amount. While entering the amount, he pretended to inadvertently saw the small objects on the booth where the rings were placed, and asked aloud, "Boss, how do you sell these small things?"

"Which one did you say?" the boss asked.

"How much is that bracelet?" Lin Qianan asked.

"Fifty."

"What about the glasses?"

"forty."

"Where's the ring?"

"This fifteen."

Lin Qianan nodded, picked up the ring and said, "Then add this! It looks very fun."

After that, he scanned the code and paid 55 yuan, then picked up two books and the ring, turned around and left.

When Lin Qian'an turned around and left, he was amused by his own carelessness.

He was also afraid that if he came up directly and asked about the ring, he would be slaughtered, and he could not even buy this thing.

Now it seems that he is completely unfounded by reading too many novels.

The price of the two books was much more expensive than the ring. Maybe he went up and said that he wanted to buy the ring. If he negotiated the price, he could get it for five yuan.

Putting the ring carefully into his wallet, Lin Qianan took a taxi and returned to the rental house.

Although he knew that the possibility of coincidence was very low, he was a little worried that the mutated computer in his room would be discovered after going out for most of the day.

This feeling of worrying about gains and losses is even more prominent when Lin Qianan now regards it as a life-saving straw.

But fortunately, this situation did not occur. Until Lin Qianan returned to the rental house and lifted the sheets, the computer remained silent and did not change.

Lin Qianan suppressed his excitement, checked the doors and windows, and after closing them all, he sat in front of the computer chair and turned on the computer.

A stalk word appeared, and the computer was successfully turned on.

Then, the next question is how to extract the stem points.

Lin Qianan took out the ring from the purse in his arms, and after looking at it, the idea of extracting the stalks came to his mind.

A prompt appears.

[Hint: Whether to collect the stalk points attached to the current stalk. (Hint: After collecting the stalk points, the stalks will lose their original function.)]

Lin Qianan silently chose no.

He really wants to activate and use his golden finger, but it seems that the stalk itself also has a special role.

So he was curious as to what the effect was.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qianan put the ring on his index finger.

No changes appear.

It's still the same old metal ring.

Lin Qianan replaced it on ten fingers one by one, and even stuck it on his forehead, but the result was still the same.

Then, he spit a little saliva on it.

The answer remains the same.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qian'an opened the nail clipper storage box on the side of the table, took out the acne needle, burned it with a lighter, and poked it directly at the index finger of his right hand.

There was a slight pain, and a little blood red also appeared on the fingertips.

Lin Qianan didn't hesitate, and directly smeared the blood on the ring of the index finger of his left hand.

After the ring was stained with Lin Qian'an's blood, he quickly absorbed it.

At the same time, Lin Qianan suddenly felt that the ring in his hand had an inexplicable connection with him.

This feeling is very mysterious, as if it is an extra extension of one's own body.

With a thought, Lin Qian'an's consciousness touched the ring.

At the same time, he seemed to see an empty space about one cubic meter in size.

There was nothing in it, even Lin Qianan felt that air and time didn't exist, it seemed to be just a pure space.

He picked up a pen on the table, after concentrating his mind, the pen disappeared and appeared in the empty space. As his thoughts changed, it reappeared in the in hand.

As a writer, Lin Qian'an is also very familiar with this thing.

In fiction, this kind of thing is generally called a storage ring.

Can be used to store items and take them with you.

If this is the stalk, Lin Qianan feels that he already understands the characteristics of the stalk.

Even thinking about it carefully, his computer can be regarded as a stalk.

Orphans, terminally ill, computer mainframes wet with water. These coincidences seem to coincide with the occurrence of certain memes in the novel.

The corners of Lin Qian'an's mouth twitched slightly.

The world may be undergoing some interesting changes, and he seems to have caught a ride.

[Hint: Whether to collect the stalk points attached to the current stalk. (Hint: After collecting the stalk points, the stalks will lose their original function.)]

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Qianan chose yes.

Perhaps the storage ring is useful and rare, but it doesn't solve its own problems.

And judging from his current situation, he can't afford to delay to find another stalk to use the golden finger.

And no one knows how many stalk points a stalk can collect, and whether the game in the game mall can solve his problem. If not, he may have to wait for the next game or find another way.

There are just too many uncertainties.

So he decided to use the gold finger directly with this storage ring, and check the situation as soon as possible.

[Hint: 13 stalk points have been successfully collected. 】

After the prompt appeared, Lin Qianan felt that the mysterious connection between himself and the storage ring disappeared, and he could no longer see the storage space in it.

Lin Qianan knew that most of the current ring had become an ordinary metal ring.

As soon as he thought about it, the simple panel also appeared in front of him.

Host: Lin Qianan

Games purchased: none

Completed games: none

Stem Points: 13

With 13 points, it's more than enough to buy the discounted game in the mall.

Opening the mall, Lin Qian'an's eyes fell on the only game there.

It was still the same as when Lin Qianan left.

Immediately, Lin Qianan slowly placed the mouse on it and double-clicked.

[Hint: Do you consume 10 stalk points to purchase the current game? 】

"Yes."
