The author's diary of ghost stories

"Welcome the light..."

The owner of the shop seemed to have heard someone opening the door, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw who came in, and the voice suddenly stopped.

"It's non-business hours now." The boss was still wearing the silver mask. He had already stood up from his seat in front of the counter, but he quickly sat down again after seeing it was Li Huachao.

"Is that so? Then I'll take a look and not buy it." Li Huachao replied with a smile, and then looked around in the store.

Sure enough, the new store was different. The decoration and furnishings were much better than the original grocery store in the ruins.

Li Huachao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Moreover, the products displayed are somewhat different from the original ones. They seem to be more high-end, and there are simple classifications of these props on the product labels. The products on each shelf are props of the same category, and they are different from each other. There are some similarities.

These props with supernatural properties are divided into equipment, consumable and special categories.

Equipment props are hung in glass display cabinets embedded in the walls on both sides of the store. The entire wall is covered with equipment of various forms, including swords, light armor, and even short models inlaid with skulls. cane.

Looking at these equipment, Li Huachao also had an illusion. If he hadn't remembered that he came from the Peace Community, he would have thought that he had traveled through time and entered some kind of "Dragon Quest" game.

However, each of these pieces of equipment looks expensive. The price on the label basically starts with seven or eight stamps, and there are additional requirements for stamps.

For example, for that sword, at least two of the stamps required to be traded are attack-type stamps, and the requirements for other equipment transactions are similar.

Li Huachao imagined how majestic he would look like wearing light armor and carrying a long sword on his back, and he suddenly felt an urgent desire for the seal.

In the past, every time he entered the zoo dungeon, it was basically a way to release excess energy and have fun. Yu Liang never had any strict requirements on him, so he was too lazy to explore messy things like stamps.

He has absolute confidence in his own force value and feels that he does not need to rely on crooked ways to improve his strength.

Of course, the main reason is that obtaining most stamps relies on brains rather than force, and Li Huachao rarely uses his brain since joining the universe. Basically, he does whatever Yu Liang says.

But after being taught a lesson by Lu Xing with a complete seal system, Li Huachao suddenly discovered that seals seemed to be very useful.

When dealing with some difficult enemies, stamps can be much faster than using direct force under certain circumstances.

It was decided that this time when I go to the zoo, I will ask my second and third brothers to contribute the good stamps in the zoo.

I want to change my equipment!

Li Huachao took his eyes back from the light armor. As soon as he turned around, he saw the boss masked man appearing behind him, looking at his hands with an appraising look.

hand?

Li Huachao was puzzled, but his instinctive reaction made him quickly retract his hand and put it in his pocket.

The masked man also looked away, then suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked directly: "Our store is now in the trial operation stage, so how can this customer spend money in our store?"

He remembered that he had used electricity to give this guy a try before, but why did this "Yu Liang" look like he was fine?

Could it be that the battery is too low?

Looks like I'll have to try a higher volt current next time.

"Me? I personally prefer to spend money in stores with higher service levels." Li Huachao understood that the boss was sarcastically mocking him for not being able to afford it, and was about to choke back.

At the same time, Li Huachao couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

Remember when you first met your boss?

mystery.

powerful.

Knowledgable and sensible.

The service is impeccable.

Adhere to the principles of doing business with integrity.

Look at the current boss——

snobbish.

cunning.

Hermaphrodites.

He is sarcastic and sarcastic to customers, just like the counter ladies in luxury stores.

One day, after I buy Yumei Grocery Store, I will definitely teach the masked man what "the customer is God" and what "a service attitude that feels like home" means.

Li Huachao sighed in his heart, and then looked at the other shelves in the store.

In addition to equipment props, there are also a large number of consumable props.

There are potion bottle shapes, pacifier bottle shapes, and things like scrolls and arrows.

The masked man roughly divides them into gain and debuff categories, weapons and ammunition categories, skill categories and others.

Li Huachao looked through it and found that those scrolls were similar to skill books, but they were not something that could be learned immediately after using them. Instead, they were a secret book that could be learned within a limited time. After opening it, one had to write down the contents and study them, which took a certain amount of time. and energy to truly learn.

"The Art of Raising Ghosts".

"The Art of Controlling People".

"Fengyang Mansion Magic Fragments".

Li Hua glanced at it and saw a lot of interesting things, but unfortunately, these things didn't match his style very well.

The art of raising ghosts?

He obviously has a more advanced method of taming animals.

The art of controlling people?

It's just a PUA. With his IQ, he can teach himself without a teacher.

Spell remnants?

He had no interest in fragments, nor in conjuring tricks.

"Oh? Stores with higher service levels, do you mean those stores that sell specimens or snacks?" The boss just laughed softly.

Those shops were actually created due to ghost stories. In the entire underground mall, his grocery store was the only one with real trading capabilities.

"No, no, no, of course not." Li Huachao shook his head quickly, and then pointed to the next door, "The shop I'm talking about is right next to you. It seems to sell similar things to you, but the boss of their shop doesn't wear a mask and looks like Very handsome, and the service attitude is very good. I bought it once and never want to buy anything else.”

He glanced at the masked man and continued: "I happened to buy some things next door, and then I found out that my dear old friend also opened a shop here, so I walked in to take a look. Oh my god, why don't you Are you talking? Are you jealous of the store next door? You don’t have to pay too much attention to it. After all, they just have some advantages in terms of good service attitude, affordable products, and the handsome, generous and humorous boss. Among us players The fame has already spread among the group.”

The masked man said nothing.

Because he was wearing a mask, Li Huachao didn't know what the situation was like with his boss at this time, but he didn't pay much attention to it and focused on a few familiar small objects in the corner of the shelf.

This is……

The round shape is endearing, the cute cartoon skull is pleasing to the eye, and it has the anti-counterfeiting label of the Goblin clan on it.

Goblin bomb.

Li Huachao recognized it instantly.

It’s still the goblin bomb with two skills: [Shock Wave] and [Chain Reaction]!

Originally, he felt that the number of this bomb was a bit small. As a bomb with exponential power, of course, the more detonated in one go, the better. Unfortunately, Yu Liang had not participated in the ghost story dungeon, so he could not get this kind of bomb. bomb.

But now, they are actually sold in grocery stores?

For a moment, Li Huachao was a little excited, but because he was short of money, he didn't know how to get these small bombs from the masked man.

"Do you like this thing?" The masked man followed. He seemed to see something from Li Huachao's eyes, so he pointed to the label on it, "Goblin bombs, a good product that was recently purchased, only need two. A stamp is definitely worth the money.”

Li Huachao glanced at his stamp column.

There is only a solitary "Doll Killer" inside, and the seal of the Midnight Haunting has been used since the last transaction for the Hell Blood Bottle.

The stamp that was awarded as a reward for the previous dream malfunction was sent directly to Yu Liang, and was not given to him, the real hero.

So now, he can just buy half a goblin bomb.

Li Huachao didn't say anything. He suspected that the masked man could see his stamp column and said that on purpose.

But he also marked it in his heart.

There are handsome armors and cute goblin bombs in the grocery store. If there is a chance, he must come here to get some.

Li Huachao walked to the last few shelves, where all special props were placed.

It is neither equipment nor consumable props.

He looked around and found that they were basically some weird things, such as the prison mirror in Yu Liang's hand, and things like wind chimes and sunny dolls.

Although these things may have very interesting supernatural properties, Li Huachao felt that they were not in line with his taste, so he did not take a closer look. Instead, he waved goodbye to the masked man, and then smiled slightly, "Then I will just Can I wish my old friend a prosperous business? Goodbye."

The masked man ignored him and walked back to his seat, opened the book again and started reading lightly.

Li Huachao shrugged and walked quickly to the door.

He looked at the wooden sign at the door of the grocery store. After thinking for a moment, he turned the wooden sign over, then took out a marker and wrote on it.

"The shop owner is out. If you have any shopping needs, please go to the small shop on the left."

After leaving these words and turning the wooden sign over to this side, Li Huachao nodded with satisfaction, then walked left and returned to his shop.

He selected a basic decoration package from the page and gave the store a simple makeover.

Since we were in a dream, the shop was very clean, and there was no dust in every corner.

Some goods can be placed in several containers. This store supports unmanned operation. As long as Li Huachao sets the price, customers can take away the goods directly after paying, and the money paid by the customer will be directly transferred to Li Huachao's account. .

It's a pity that since Li Huachao is also a player, he cannot receive stamps from other players.

In this case, payment can only be made with "characters", the common currency of the Kaidan world.

Li Huachao thought about it. He had discussed with Yu Liang before what price would be more appropriate for a grass baby.

Yu Liang originally graded Cao Ying, and also set a price for Cao Ying.

A grass baby with no characteristics is F level, a grass baby with garbage characteristics is E level, and a grass baby with excellent characteristics is D level.

This grocery store will use a new special currency - Cao Ying coins.

An attack character that cannot kill is worth 2 Cao Ying coins. For example, the "breaking" character, the "burning" character and the "smashing" character all fall into this category.

Li Huachao estimates that most of the characters received by then will be of this type.

Restricted characters are worth 5 Cao Ying coins, such as the "trapped" character and the "prison" character. However, the effect of the "prison" character is much stronger than that of "trapped", so the "prison" character is priced at 8 Cao Ying coins.

It is difficult to judge the value of such characters. It is best for Yu Liang to judge it in person. It would be a bit reluctant to leave it to unmanned trading.

The enhanced characters are worth 10 Cao Ying coins, such as "Strength", "Speed", "Yu" and "Endurance". They are the rewards often given out by the Kaitan World, so the value of such characters is easy to judge.

Of course, Li Huachao estimated that under normal circumstances, few people would exchange restricted characters and enhanced characters for Cao Ying, because their value and difficulty in obtaining are generally greater than those of attack characters.

An E-level grass baby is sold for 10 grass babies, and a D-level grass baby is sold for 50 to 100 grass babies. If it has top-quality characteristics, then it will be calculated separately.

This kind of pricing is similar to the probability of magic blood alienation, so Yu Liang does not have to worry about the collapse of the Cao Ying market.

There are two types of F-level grass babies. One is a grass baby that has been watered with magic blood but has not gained any abilities. This kind of grass baby is sold for 8 grass babies; the other is a grass baby that has not been watered with magic blood. Cao Ying, this kind of Cao Ying is sold bundled with 10 ml of magic blood, so it becomes something similar to a blind box, priced at 15 Cao Ying coins.

The lowest level of Cao Ying only requires eight Cao Ying coins, which is four characters. For most players, they can basically squeeze it out with gritted teeth and get a Cao Ying with early warning function, and Cao Ying. Ying also has his own "Lingren", which can reduce the desire of strange creatures to attack oneself.

From this aspect, the measures taken by Yu Liang and Li Huachao can be regarded as benefiting players.

Of course, from the current point of view, this price may be a bit exaggerated, because Li Huachao increased the price set by Yu Liang.

This is not because Li Huachao is a profiteer. On the contrary, he must increase the price.

He will soon capture the princess back to the dreamland again, so that these players can get another server failure reward...

In other words, these characters are all for free, so is it okay for Li Huachao to charge a slightly higher price?

After all, the rewards for these characters were actually brought to them by Li Huachao, and it is normal to recycle them a little now.

Next, Li Huachao quickly ran back to the apartment building, took a snakeskin bag and filled it with ten grass babies of different levels, and then used pen and paper to record the additional supernatural properties of all the grass babies.

Returning to the store in the underground mall, Li Huachao placed the grass babies in glass containers, and then organized them into categories with labels.

The ten grass babies brought to the store were mostly just for display, similar to a trial opening. He also collected the characteristics of all the remaining grass babies and hung them on the wall. If you need them, you can pay first and get the voucher. Then go to Apartment Building No. 3 to pick up the grass baby.

After doing all this, Li Huachao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The preliminary preparation tasks are finally over.

Looking at the time, half an hour has passed.

It's time to return to reality and capture the princess.

When those players are squeezed out of the dreamland again, he can just give a speech, and the customers who come will probably trample the door frame of the store.

Wait, it seems like all players have a "until death do us part" stamp, right?

Then couldn't they exchange them all for the goblin bomb next door?

Then trade with yourself...

Doesn’t this directly achieve bomb freedom?

Li Huachao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he thought of this.

Bomb freedom? !

Let us explode? ? ! !

I woke up late and forgot to set the timer...Sorry
