Chapter 33: Taking advantage of the situation
Yu Yueming looked at the direction where the cat group disappeared, thought for a while, guessing that the strange leather should have been brought by them.
However, they don't seem malicious.
The cat in the quasi-world is a mysterious existence, but he really can't understand the meaning of the other party's behavior.
So, he just shook his head in the end and changed the topic.
"It's okay, where are we going next?"
"First go buy equipment, we found a store selling weapons. After buying, we checked out the news in the town and then went to the hotel. According to the copy settings, we had already contacted people before we arrived. We would meet him at the hotel in the evening and he would take us to the cave."
Lu Songyan guessed that Yu Yueming did not obtain too many memories related to the character's background due to his identity, so he explained it in detail.
The dungeon is arranged quite considerately at this point, and the players' itinerary to go to the cave clearly. Yu Yueming thought about it and followed the steps of others.
The group went to the weapon shop first. The background of their group was adventurers. Although they also brought some self-defense tools, they did not have enough weapons to kill.
After all, in the setting, they are going to take risks, not to fight monsters.
Unlike ordinary adventurers, players know that they are likely to encounter monsters, so they need to prepare appropriate weapons in advance.
The weapons store sells cold weapons such as knives and crossbows. Players bargained with the store for a while, and each bought a crossbow and a bundle of crossbow arrows. Yu Yueming saw that the boy Zhou Yang was playing with the knives in the store and obviously wanted to buy one, but after seeing the wallet, he could only helplessly dispelled the plan.
After thinking back to the era of the dungeon, Yu Yueming felt that there should be guns in this era. However, this town is likely to be an empty place, and the signs on the street are all written by words he does not recognize, so he cannot tell whether guns are banned in this place.
Having said that, even if there is a gun, other players don’t seem to be able to afford it. They don’t seem to have much money with them, so buying a crossbow should be the limit.
After buying the weapons, the group of people made a brief walk around the town.
This town is not too big, but it will take several hours to walk around. The players' packages are very honest. If the people here have not used points to strengthen their bodies, they are afraid that they will be exhausted before they can walk for a long time.
Players carried shops and streets with a lot of crowds, and asked locals about news about the caves by the sea from time to time. However, except for some meaningless details, the information they found was similar to what the old man at the port market said before.
A lot of effort wasted, and the players had almost no gains except buying some miscellaneous items.
"The sun is setting." Rong Zhicai looked up at the sky and suggested, "Go to the hotel to settle down first."
After leaving for an afternoon, everyone had no objection, and the group quickly arrived at the hotel where they were booking to stay.
It was a hotel called "Seagull House" and looked a little old. As soon as everyone went to the front desk to pay the money to get the key to the room, they were stopped by a thin middle-aged man sitting next to him.
The man looked everyone up and down without any hesitation.
"You are the guy who contacted me before and said he was coming to find the treasure?"
"Yes." Rong Zhicai took the initiative to come forward to talk on behalf of the players, "Are you..."
"'Otter'. Give me a deposit, wait here at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, and you can only go to that cave when the tide is high."
The man who claimed to be an otter reached out to ask for money, and Rong Zhicai replied to him with a smile.
"Of course we will pay the money, but we have to wait until we leave."
The request was rejected. The man looked very unhappy, but for some reason he didn't insist on asking for money. He just said "I'll bear the consequences of being late", and soon disappeared.
...This tour guide looks particularly unreliable. Yu Yueming pressed his ears and complained in his heart.
The hotel looks dilapidated. Although it is a food that can be eaten with rice, it is just some dried bread and smoked fish. Players obviously don’t like this meal, but in order to maintain their strength, they barely ate themselves even if they are forced to do so.
Yu Yueming did not enjoy the treatment of being a food-controlled person, but his teammate Lu Songyan was kind-hearted and ordered a portion for him.
"Anyway, the extra money is useless after it is out, so why not let your teammates have a little full."
The girl explained kindly.
Yu Yueming thanked her kindness and wrote down this help in his heart.

After dinner, everyone came to the room and saw a narrow and crowded place.
Two bunk beds are placed on the left and right against the wall. There is a small square table next to the door of the bed, which is piled up with some basins, kettles and other utensils. There is a little space on the side near the window, so you can barely stack some items.
It’s okay to walk over the gap between the beds alone, but it will immediately appear crowded when two people walk together.
This palm-sized place is the whole room.
Yu Yueming was a little suffocated when he saw this scene - think back to the past, a hotel that cost 100 yuan a day in the wilderness is a paradise compared to this place!
Even the conditions for camping in the last copy are much better than the house.
But the other players seemed to have been beaten by the dungeon, and there was no sign of any indication. They put the items one by one and planned to take a break early.
The wooden doors of the house have been decaying and deformed because they are old and have been blown by the sea breeze. When the door was closed, the players took some effort to successfully squeeze the wooden door back into the door frame without breaking the door panel.
Looking at this scene, Yu Yueming suddenly understood why others would rather go shopping with big bags on their backs than stay in the hotel first.
The anti-theft level in this place is definitely worrying. In order to complete the tasks after the dungeon, the equipment on the player is essential. Ordinary people lose these equipment and will only become poor. If the player loses equipment, it will be fatal!
After discussing the order of vigil, several people picked up their own beds. Yu Yueming didn't want to squeeze with them, so he put a blanket on his own and slept under the window.
He looked up, looking through the blurred glass, staring at the falling moonlight for a while, shaking his ears, resting his head on his forearm, and closing his eyes.
——
Early the next morning, the middle-aged man appeared as promised, collected a deposit, and led them to the target cave.
He rowed a wooden boat, and after sitting down with five people and one dog, there was still a little space left.
Perhaps because their destination is different from ordinary people, their route is very remote. After leaving the port, they advanced along the cliffs by the sea and soon left the town and other ships behind.
The sea was very calm, so their driving was smooth. About half an hour later, the wooden boat rowed into a huge cave at the bottom of the cliff.
This hole is about ten meters high and is very spacious inside. There are several holes above to shine a few rays of sky light. Although it is a little dim, it is enough for people to see the surrounding things clearly.
They rowed the boat in the cave for a few more minutes before finally seeing the outline of a cave.
There was a small piece of flat ground outside the cave. After the boat landed, the player got off the boat and paid the final payment. He was about to confirm with the other party when he came to pick them up when he saw the man suddenly pushed the boat with a paddle and the whole boat immediately left the shore.
After setting a distance for a long time, the middle-aged man looked at the alert expressions of the players and pulled out a smile that showed uneven teeth.
