Chapter 45: Strengthen the top! (Two chapters in one)
(Note: I typed the chapter name wrongly, but I can’t change it. It’s Chapter 25! Shame on you)
Li Bo's business was actually pretty good. While Xu Tong was talking to Li Bo, three or four waves of people came in intermittently.
Some come to buy medicine, while others come to sell prop cards.
Xu Tong observed it and found that Li Bo's financial fortune has been particularly good recently. In addition, this guy is very generous in doing business, so occasionally there will be one or two repeat customers.
When he saw someone selling some weapons and props, Xu Tong's heart moved and he called Li Bo: "If there are weapons and props in the future, if the price is right, just buy them. Once you have enough, don't sell them again, keep them all."
"ah??"
Li Bo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Xu Tong was doing this, and scratched his head: "As long as it's a weapon, just keep it away?"
"Yes, don't worry about how strong the entry is. Just accept the prop card with a little entry and not too strong attributes."
Xu Tong's words became increasingly unreasonable, but he did not explain the Dream Rubik's Cube to Li Bo. After all, Li Bo was not even a certified player now. Regarding the industry, Li Bo would naturally know about it after he completed the certified player.
Li Bo didn't know what his captain was doing, but since the captain said so, although Li Bo was confused, he didn't ask more about the reason, because he knew what kind of virtue his captain was.
Because I only saw him eating meat and never saw him being beaten.
Since he wants to do this, there must be a reason for doing it, and he just needs to be obedient.
After giving Li Bo's instructions, Xu Tong immediately felt much happier.
He looked at the new players outside the door who were still in the overseas shopping area, walking around choosing props: "It's good stuff, you have to learn to share it."
Then he came to the previous bar. Xu Tong glanced at the seat where he had been sitting before. When he saw someone was already sitting there, he could only turn around and leave in disappointment.
Originally, he planned to go back to Laojunfang directly, but as he was walking, a strong aroma of wine suddenly hit him.
I am not a big drinker, but when I smelled the aroma of wine, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my heart.
When he looked up, a liquor store appeared in front of him. On the sign of the liquor shop was the name "Go to bed after three drinks". (From Chapter 8 of Volume 6!)
"Hey, how did you get here??"
This wine shop was the place where I bought the fire-shaking knives. If I hadn't bought a box of fire-shaking knives here, I wouldn't have been able to become acquainted with the alcoholic madman.
It can be said that my pure Yang power has something to do with this wine shop.
Suddenly, the strange feeling in Xu Tong's heart became stronger and stronger.
When I walked straight to the wine shop, as soon as I entered the door, I saw a variety of wine types on the display cabinets, such as Han Emperor Moutai, Sixty Years of Nuerhong, Seventy Years of Flower Wither, and some others I haven't heard of.
Named drinks, etc.
I remember that when I came to buy Huo Shao Knife, I was shocked by the prices of these drinks. Now that I came back and saw the drinks on the wine cabinet with prices ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, Xu Tong no longer had the same surprise as before.
feel.
"Sir, if you need any good wine, I have it here!"
The boss stepped forward with a smile on his face. Although Xu Tong hid his identity, the invisible aura about him was no longer the same as the last time he came here.
The boss could tell at a glance that this might be a big customer.
"Boss, when you came here last time, you bought me a drink of Huo Shao Knife. Can you buy me another drink?"
After hearing Xu Tong's words, the boss thought for a while and then said in surprise: "It's you!"
As he said that, he took a step back and looked Xu Tong up and down. Even though he couldn't see anything, the aura on his body allowed him to judge that the temperament of the man in front of him was very different from that of the young man back then.
Other changes.
There was a sigh in my heart for a moment. Unexpectedly, the young man who had bravely drank a full glass of wine in one gulp in order to buy a fire-burning knife, which was so spicy that he almost cried, would now suddenly change and his aura was unfathomable.
"Okay, okay, sir, please come this way!"
The boss immediately walked to the counter, took out an unopened bottle of Huoshao Knife, and carefully poured a glass for Xu Tong.
"Little brother, times have changed. I didn't understand the wine when I drank it. Now I try it again. It has a different taste."
The boss brought the drinks to Xu Tong.
Xu Tong glanced at the glass of wine and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of foam. After all, the memory of the last drink still seemed like yesterday when he thought about it.
But today he came to this place by accident, just to take a look. The thought of drinking a drink was like an obsession, lingering in his mind, as if if he didn't take a sip, he would be left with great regrets.
"Perhaps this is my fate!"
Xu Tong picked up the wine cup, took a deep breath, raised his head and drank in one gulp. For a moment, the spicy and hot heat surged from the tip of his tongue and went down his throat like a knife.
Xu Tong frowned and felt a little uncomfortable at first, but soon something surprised him.
After the blazing fire knife flowed into his belly, it spread out like a deep-sea bomb. The thick and overbearing heat flow poured into his internal organs. Amid the blazing heat, there was a warm current that impacted the meridians of his limbs.
, making every pore of his body seem to be opened, steaming with heat, and then a strong aroma of wine slowly rose from his belly.
A feeling of being drunk but not drunk, of being awake but not awake, reminded Xu Tong of the faces of many people, including Zhang Haisheng, pharmacist, Yang Zixuan, Taoist Dongxuan, Archbishop Antu, Yang Guanjin, Qian Hands, Lu Zhi
, alcoholic maniac, etc.
Every face floated in front of him like a screen, and Xu Tong's thoughts became purer and purer.
"Never mind it, the river will go eastward, the waves will be washed away, the new generation will be better than the old ones, I'd like to toast you, but from now on, you will be just the dust of the past in my memory!"
Xu Tong's thoughts were fulfilled, and he even began to turn into a crystal state, completely transparent and pure.
I don't know how long it took for me to do this, but when I opened my eyes again, I saw my boss looking up at me.
"Do you understand, sir?"
Although the boss knew that the young man in front of him was no longer what he used to be. He was no longer the silly boy who would run out to vomit after having a drink.
But when he saw Xu Tong motionless for a long time, as if he had been put under a restraining spell, he realized that the other party had actually tasted the taste of this glass of wine.
Xu Tong did not answer the boss's words, but just said: "The tea cakes are fragrant when chewed, and there are thousands of words in the glass of wine."
This sentence was originally said to him by his boss. Now Xu Tong returns this sentence to his boss, which is better than a thousand words of explanation.
A glass of wine can reveal your temperament, I'm not going to lie to you. Drinking a glass of wine will clear away the gloom in your heart and make you think clearly. Even the pure yang energy in your body will become more refined.
"Okay!"
The boss grinned, took out two boxes of fire knives from under the cabinet and placed them on the table.
"This is the only amount of wine left. Take it and I'll give it all to you."
"Thank you!"
Xu Tong did not show any pretense and directly accepted the two boxes of wine. As a return gift, Xu Tong took out a jar of Meijia century-old wine and gave it to the boss.
Although this wine cannot be compared with Huo Shao Knife, it still has a unique taste. Coupled with the plum blossom mark on it, the boss calls it a bloody profit.
After walking out of the liquor store, Xu Tong had a second thought. Since he had bought the Huoshao Knife, he might as well go to Shuiji Grocery Store to have a look.
When I bought the Huoshao Knife, I wanted to go to Shuiji Grocery Store to find Han Zhangbei to figure out the whereabouts of Yang Zixuan, and learn skills at the same time. Han Zhangbei gave me a copy of Plum Blossom Yi Shu, but it turned out that I didn't know how to learn Yi Shu.
After cultivating the door, he was befriended by a drunken madman by accident, and acquired the power of pure Yang.
Now that you are here, you might as well go and have a look, maybe you will get something unexpected.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong quickened his pace.
It's still that small and dilapidated house.
If it weren't for the dilapidated sign, no one would have thought that this place was actually a grocery store.
Pushing open the door and entering, Xu Tong immediately noticed several obscure glances in the room glancing at him.
Although this place is a grocery store, there is not even a counter when you enter. There are only four or five tables with a few people sitting there chatting.
Xu Tong randomly found a table and sat down. He glanced around. After not seeing Han Zhangbei, a drunkard, he turned his eyes and saw an old man sitting by the stove.
The old man was holding a slender cigarette rod in his hand and was smoking with squinted eyes, looking indifferent to others.
Seeing this, Xu Tong stood up and walked to the old man, took out his hookah pipe, skillfully padded the cut tobacco, carbonized the cut tobacco with the red-hot iron wire beside the stove, took two slow and gentle puffs, and waited.
The water in the hookah pipe began to slowly warm up, and then you took a deep breath. The smoke lingered between your lips and teeth. The warm smoke emitted a unique fragrance in your mouth.
The old man didn't care who was around him at first, but when he smelled the green smoke, he opened his eyes and became energetic. When he raised his head and looked at the hookah pipe in Xu Tong's hand, he suddenly felt familiar. For a moment
Then I remembered that I seemed to have seen this person before.
"Old man, long time no see. How are you?"
Xu Tong didn't wait for the old man to speak, then handed over his tobacco.
The last time he came to see Han Zhangbei, it was this old man who gave him guidance. Today, Han Zhangbei didn't come, so he simply sat down and talked with the old man.
"Hey, it's your kid."
The old man took the cut tobacco and took a look at it with a smile: "Okay, this cut tobacco is good. It is golden in color, moist but not wet. At first glance, it is the best choice."
I couldn't wait to pinch out a ball and put it into my smoking pot. Unlike water pipes, dry tobacco does not need to be heated. It can be smoked by lighting it. Only after the old man took two puffs did a look of comfort appear on his face.
"Young man, I haven't seen you for a long time. When I saw you again, you had already achieved such a level of cultivation. It's really amazing."
After saying this, the old man seemed to have remembered something and suddenly let out a mute laugh.
Seeing that he was laughing, Xu Tong asked, "What is the old gentleman laughing at?"
"Hahaha, I laugh at Zhangbei. This Jiu Mengzi said yesterday that he wouldn't come today. I thought he had lost his mind. It turns out he was afraid of seeing you!"
The old man's words made Xu Tong even more puzzled: "Why?"
"Hey, after you left that day, Han Zhangbei said that you were a prodigy of the Jinmen Yi family, but who knew that you failed to learn from the Jinmen Yi family, but your achievements were even more amazing. This Jiu Mengzi was probably blushing and panicking.
."
Hearing what the old man said, Xu Tong felt ashamed. He didn't expect that Han Zhangbei had such great expectations for him when he threw him a book of Plum Blossoms with an impatient look.
But I was even more surprised that Han Zhangbei had expected that he would come to see him today.
You must know that coming here is just an unintentional act, a sudden move, coupled with his earthly immortal body, and the master's black brocade robe, he still carries it, but Han Zhangbei had expected that he would come a day early, which shows that he is coming here.
The strength is unfathomable.
Speaking of which, this is the biggest difference between the ordinary exhibition area and the high-end exhibition area.
The high-end exhibition area has now become the territory of players. There are few native shops but it is rich in resources.
However, although the general exhibition area does not have so many resources, there are a large number of original shops. Most of these shops have appeared in the exhibition since its appearance.
I don’t know how many masters are hidden in this place. The real place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also the place where players have chance treasures.
As for why the reputation is not obvious...
On the one hand, it's because these people have weird tempers.
On the other hand, even if I knew what was extraordinary about Shuiji Grocery Store, would I still tell others so easily?
I'm afraid it's too late to hide.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong said with some guilt: "In this case, I should apologize to Senior Han."
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite. You are already a land god. You are familiar with the art of the Great Way and the Plum Blossom Yi. In the end, if you learn it, it may not be better than your telepathy. There are some things that you can do even if you don't learn them when you reach the realm.
Zi Tong, Han Zhangbei does not have that kind of blessing, it can only be said that his luck is shallow."
When Xu Tong heard this, he couldn't help but blush. The old man had revealed his intention to learn from Han Zhangbei.
However, these words also benefited me a lot.
"Little brother, there are many people who come here, but very few people actually come back. Next time you come back, bring three ounces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, three ounces of snowflake cake, and three ounces of walnut cake. I have a special destiny.
give you!"
As he spoke, the old man put Xu Tong's tobacco into his arms with a smile: "This is the tobacco I gave you in return."
Xu Tong was very curious when he saw this. He didn't know what the fate of the old man was, but he remembered it in his heart.
After the old man finished speaking, he took two puffs of the cigarette and closed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep. Xu Tong was a ignorant person. When he saw this, he stood up and said goodbye to the old man, leaving behind two bottles of fire before leaving.
Please give the old man the knife to Han Zhangbei as a way of thanking him for his kindness.
After walking out of Shuiji Grocery Store, Xu Tong set off back to Laojunfang.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Zhuo, Gu Xibai and Chang Wugu waiting for him.
"Don't mention it! It's definitely not possible to borrow money."
Seeing the three wolf cubs' eyes glowing green, Xu Tong spoke first to ask them to stop.
"Head, lend me another million. With one million, I can strengthen the remaining two prop cards to +6!"
Gao Zhuo came up with a stern look on his face and said.
Xu Tong wanted to kick him in the butt, but Gu Xibai had already kicked him: "Go away, I said I won't lend money!"
As he said this, Gu Xibai turned to look at Xu Tong: "Brother, I'm only half a million short!"
"You white-eyed wolf, I was here first!
"
Gao Zhuo rushed forward with a curse, held down Gu Xibai's head, and pushed him aside.
"You asked for one million, who would lend it to you! You have already strengthened four of them, and I only strengthened three of them!"
"Who told you that you only have two Wu Hooks and the strengthening fee is high? It's none of my business!
"
While the two were pulling and pushing, Chang Wuzhen came to Xu Tong like a ghost, raised his arm and put it on Xu Tong's shoulder: "We have been brothers for so many years, and the price is 800,800,000 yuan.
The compensation is a knife, but the compensation is not considered a loan!"
Xu Tong's mouth twitched, "Hey guys, these three guys are crazy."
Of course, I can also understand that strengthening something like this is really top-notch.
If becoming stronger is happiness, then the happiness of strengthening is really great.
+6 is already a qualitative change.
+9 is even more terrifying, and is completely different from before strengthening.
This is just like one person can gain knowledge through hard study, but another person can directly turn books into bread through Doraemon's props and gain knowledge by eating them. The ease of the two is completely different.
Kick the idiot Chang Wuji away with one kick.
"If you don't have money, if you want money, just wait until next quarter."
"Head, stop it, please give me more support!
"
Gao Zhuo and the other three screamed, rushed forward, hugged Xu Tong's thighs, and started acting wildly.
In the end, Xu Tong had no choice but to give 500,000 to one person with a dark face. Of course, all of this money would have to be doubled next quarter!
Now that the three of them had money, they didn't care about the next quarter, so they turned around and rushed into the basement.
Xu Tong covered his forehead and instantly felt that his thoughts were not clear.
Fortunately, the three of them took the money to strengthen their own strength after all, and were not going to eat, drink, whore or gamble, otherwise they would really be crying without tears. Xu Tong even thought that Li Bo was cuter than these three wolf cubs.
"Hahaha, it's really fun this time!"
When Xu Tong walked into the basement, he heard Gao Zhuo's wild laughter. When he saw Xu Tong, Gao Zhuo immediately stepped forward and showed off his enhanced prop card to Xu Tong.
Don't tell me, money is really good when you spend it.
After Gao Zhuo received Yan Xiaoqi's guidance, he simply gave up on his own path of strengthening zombies and began to position himself as team assistance + group battle support.
These two prop cards are top-notch prop cards of the poison type. Together with Gao Zhuo's [Corpse Explosion] +6, they can cause area-of-effect poison damage.
What excites Gao Zhuo the most is his general’s blood blade.
[General’s Blood Blade] +9
It is said that the broken blades of the Corpse Ancestor generals, even if it is a broken blade, still have unpredictable power.
Passive skill 1: Corpse Evil Tiangang
The holder is protected by the corpse evil Tiangang. The stronger the corpse evil on the body, the higher the increase in the gang energy.
Passive skill 2: Corpse King
The holder obtains the aura of the Zombie King, which can cause zombies under his command to gain a 120% evil spirit bonus.
Active Skill 1: Corpse Curse
It consumes 800 script points. After activation, the creatures killed by the blood blade will turn into armored zombies in a short time.
Duration: 5 minutes
Cooling time: 7 days
Active skill 2: Corpse curse
Spend 3000 script points, insert the bloody blade into your body, explode the corpse in your body, and launch the corpse curse on the target.
During this period, the target cannot dodge or block.
After the enemy is hit by the corpse curse, it will cause major wounds that cannot be healed, and its own vitality will be quickly extracted to feed back to the caster.
Duration: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 4 days
Active skill 3: Corpse Demon
It consumes 1,000 script points. After activation, you will transform into a zombie demon. When you advance to the zombie demon, you will extract the zombie demons from all the zombies within a range of 600 meters. The greater the number of zombies, the stronger the increase in all attributes you will receive.
, each zombie will receive different improvements depending on its level.
(Note: After transforming into a corpse demon, there is a high probability that your own consciousness will go crazy, so please use it with caution!)
After Xu Tong glanced at it, most of his unhappiness disappeared immediately. At least the money spent was quite worthwhile.
Gu Xibai and Chang Wugu also came over and took out their prop cards for Xu Tong to see.
Although Chang Wugu didn't have Yan Xiaoqi's guidance, this guy already understood the route he wanted to take, so he positioned himself as a reconnaissance and assassin.
After selling many useless prop cards, I purchased some assassin-unique prop cards at high prices.
For example, [Quick Hide], [Divine Thorn] + 6, [Assassination Secret Technique] + 6 and other prop cards.
Coupled with Chang Wugu's two original space prop cards [Space Phase] +6 and [Space Tear] +6, it can be perfect for assassination or escape at critical moments.
The Black Water Dragon Fang given to him by Xu Tong was also strengthened to level nine by him.
In addition to the original armor-breaking and spell-breaking attributes, when two daggers are used at the same time, they can activate a special passive [Double Arc Scene] and an active skill.
【Double Arc Scene】
After activating the special passive, two mirror clones can emerge, and each mirror clone has 45% of its own lethality.
【The Silent One】
It consumes 1000 script points. After activation, the target falls into a silent state, all skill release speeds are slowed down by 10 times, the skill release state is interrupted, and the releaser will suffer dizziness damage.
It has to be said that the Blackwater Dragon Fang is indeed the top item card in the assassination system. After strengthening, the power of these two daggers is brought into full play.
In comparison, Gu Xibai didn't strengthen much.
[Martial Saint] and [Kongming Fist] have been strengthened to +6 status
Those two frost hooks were strengthened by him to +9
In addition to the significant improvement in attributes, he also gained an active skill [frost sealing]
【Fengshuang】
After activation, all attacks will be accompanied by ice attacks. After three consecutive hits, the target will enter the frost state and cannot use active skills.
Duration: 5 seconds
Cooling time: 10 minutes.
Gu Xibai didn't strengthen much because he walked the hardest route.
According to Yan Xiaoqi, the next step for him is to open up his acupuncture skills and bring his martial arts to another extreme.
Even Yan Xiaoqi was not sure to try this route, so he could only point out one direction to Gu Xibai.
So this guy is making the slowest progress, but fortunately after strengthening it, his combat effectiveness is not weak even though his force value has increased a lot.
After seeing the strengthening of the three people, Xu Tong felt a lot more comfortable.
Then he walked to the Rubik's Cube and took out two things to strengthen.
[Hussar Order] and [Flying Dragon Flag]
If there are no accidents, these two items are the last two props they will strengthen before entering the script world this time.
I saw Xu Tong take a deep breath and throw the hussar order into the Rubik's Cube.
[Ding! Do you want to spend 150 script points to strengthen this item? 】
Hearing the prompt, Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. The strengthening price of items such as the Hussar Order was lower than he thought. With the addition of the Hussar Order and the Flying Dragon Rider, after they entered the script world this time, they had
There will also be a powerful entourage, which will be their capital to compete for world hegemony in the next scenario. He immediately took a deep breath and said: "Strengthen!"
