Angel originally wondered whether this mission would involve helping to find the murderer.
But judging from the mission goal, it seems that we only need to determine her identity and send her home.
Angel planned to do this task. But just like the hidden task "Resuscitation", he was not prepared to do it himself.
Angel is very clear about the principle of "specialization in each profession". He is not omniscient and omnipotent, so professional matters should be left to professionals.
Just like the "Resuscitation" mission, he was asked to study the source virus remaining on Henrietta's body and restore the infected person's consciousness.
Although he could study it, he didn't understand the nature of the mutated weird virus. Even if he really wanted to study it, he would have to start from scratch... God knows how many mistakes this would take.
On the contrary, it is the doctors at the Beverly Care Center who have been studying this virus for a long time. It is easy for them to continue their research and get started.
Therefore, Angel gave them the task of "resuscitation".
In the same way, if Angel wants to complete the task of "returning home", he must constantly investigate the identity of the missing person, look for clues, and finally lock in the identity.
These tasks would definitely be done faster by people from Tina Entertainment than him. After all, this person was buried in the cleaning room and must be related to someone from Tina Entertainment.
Angel thought for a moment and decided to leave it to Lizi. After all, Lizi is a senior executive of Tina Entertainment. From her position, there are many things and restrictions that she does not need to consider.
After making the decision, Angel sat on the sofa in the cleaning room, watching the progress of Gleipnir and Starworm, while waiting for Lizzy's return.
It seems that Starworm has also begun to touch upon the process of the mission.
On Gleipnir's side, he was still painting non-stop in the room, then crumpling it into a ball, taking out new paper, continuing to draw, and continuing to crumple it... as if he was in an endless loop.
It seems that there is no progress in Graipnir's progress, but Angor can see from the design draft drawn by Graipnir and the situation that Graipnir is crumpled up later than before.
You should have grasped Anna's preferences, and the next step is to fine-tune the style and color.
But at this point, you start to arrange the color combinations. This is a matter of luck. If you are lucky, maybe Gleipnir will be able to clear the level in the next second.
Angel stared at her for more than ten minutes, still kneading and circling. It seemed that Gleipnir's luck was not very good...
After staring for a while, Angel looked away because Lizzy came out of the laboratory.
Li Zi had already activated the effect of the illusion. She not only used the illusion to create a trailer, but also blocked the view of the people around her, and successfully brought out the fifteen skeletons.
Of course, there is another reason. There are too many skeletons in the underground laboratory, and many of them are mixed together, like a mass grave. A few missing ones will not immediately attract the attention of the guards.
Even if Horace came in person, he might not notice that the bones were missing.
Crunch - crunch -
The trailer was piled high with bones, and the tires of the trailer made a squeaking sound.
At first, Li Zi was worried about whether she would attract the attention of outsiders, but along the way, she found that no one was looking at her.
Neither the bones on the trailer nor the crunching sound attracted anyone's attention. Even when Lizzy led the trailer through the "performance stage" in the hall, no one looked in her direction.
"This is the great power of that Lord..." Li Zi murmured in a low voice.
The trailer soon arrived at the door of the cleaning room, but the trailer was too big to be dragged into the room. Just when Lizzy was thinking about whether to move the bones in one by one, Angel suddenly opened the door and walked out
came out.
Just looking at the bones on the trailer, he said softly: "That's enough. You can continue to put these bones back into the laboratory, or you can do whatever you want with them."
Lizzy: "Huh?"
If she moved back, will she move back again?
Although she didn't know what she meant, Li Zi still nodded: "Then I'd better send it back. Although they may not be able to find that the bones are missing in a short period of time, there is always a hidden danger."
Angel nodded noncommittally: "Yes, but before that, I have something to ask you."
…
About ten minutes later.
Angel walked out of Tina Entertainment.
The moment he walked out of the building, new text popped up in the text column.
"You have completed the random mission "The Walls Have Ears"."
"Congratulations on getting the Bagua Jing puzzle piece*1."
Previously, in the last conversation between Angel and Lizzie, in addition to inquiring about the situation on the black market and the price of book pages, Angel also gave her the tasks of "There are Ears Beyond the Wall" and "Going Home".
Judging from the information in the text column, it is obvious that Li Zi has spread her gossip.
The reward is still on the text bar, and Angel needs to click it to receive it.
Angel touched it, and the projection of the "Fashion Magic Book" appeared in his hand, and the pieces of Bagua Jing's puzzle turned into a stream of light and flew into the book.
The pages of the magic book opened automatically, and behind the "Fashion Cutler", that is, on the fifth page, there was an illustration of Bagua Jing.
However, currently only 1/4 of this illustration is in color.
"Gossip: One of the most common fashion monsters. It is extremely sensitive to all kinds of news and information and always spreads it as soon as possible."
"Current puzzle: 1/4"
"The abilities of this Bagua spirit: 1. Code word analysis (normal); 2. Unknown; 3. Unknown"
Generally speaking, even if the puzzle is not complete, you can still see part of the foresight ability.
"Secret Word Analysis" is Bagua Jing's forward-looking ability, and it is also an ability that will definitely appear after the book page is unlocked.
According to what Lizzy said before, the three factors in evaluating the price of magic book pages are: scope of application, rarity, and ability prospects.
Take this gossip spirit as an example.
Baguajing has a wide range of applications, so the price is relatively higher than similar products.
But in terms of rarity, Baguajing is not considered rare, and its price trend is relatively average.
However, if your Baguajing's forward-looking ability is randomly selected to have an extremely high-quality ability, then it is possible to sell it at a high price.
For example, in Li Zi's opinion, the best forward-looking ability of Bagua Jing is called "Bagua Wenwen (routine)".
Although this is just a regular ability, when the first ability of the Bagua Jing is locked as "Bagua Hearing", it means that the second ability or the third ability will inevitably have a "special ability".
Because "Gossip" is the exclusive ability of "Gossip Boy", a special form of Gossip Spirit.
When gossip appears, there will definitely be a follow-up to unlock the special ability of the gossip boy. This is an inevitable causal connection.
Therefore, if Baguajing's forward-looking ability randomly produces "Bagua Hewen (regular)", its price may reach astronomical levels.
Even if it costs one million Modern Coins, there will be people willing to buy it.
But more often than not, there is a price but no market.
Fashionable monsters with special forms, even the lowest entry-level monsters, are extremely rare.
Let’s talk about foresight.
Angel's luck was not good. He did not randomly get "Gossip", but a regular ability called "Code Language Analysis".
This ability can be regarded as a common ability of Bagua Jing. It can be understood as: analyzing those slang words that are in the clouds and fog.
Some organizations or individuals, in order not to leak confidentiality during conversations, will use "slang" or "code text" to communicate. It is difficult for people who are not in the same camp to understand the meaning.
And "cryptoanalysis" is the ability to parse and translate such argot.
From a practical point of view, it is a useful ability, but it is far inferior to gossip.
As for the possible selling price...
According to Li Zi, in the black market, except for extremely rare book pages, the prices are relatively stable. For entry-level monster book pages like this, the price fluctuates greatly. Every time, affected by different factors, the price of the book pages fluctuates greatly.
It will also be high and low.
The specific price depends on the current market conditions on the black market.
However, Lizzy also gave a guaranteed minimum price: the pages of entry-level fashion monsters like Baguajing would not be less than 10,000 modern coins.
Ten thousand modern coins.
The price was much lower than Angel had imagined. He had always thought that even the pages of low-end fashion monsters should be in the six figures... because he had learned from Xiaopang before that some rich people were even willing to bankrupt their fortunes to become one.
They are famous fashion magicians, and the net worth of these rich people is at least six figures.
After hearing what Angel said, Lizzy was silent for a moment and explained: "If you can turn ordinary people into fashion magicians, then it is possible for them to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of modern coins.
of."
"But the magic book pages are different. The prerequisite for using the book pages is that you are already a magician and have your own "Fashion Magic Book"."
When your customer base is a magician themselves, the price will naturally be much lower. This is because any fashion magician will have a high pass rate when encountering entry-level monster challenges.
In other words, they can hunt entry-level fashion monsters themselves.
They are willing to collect the pages of such entry-level monsters, generally not to "open new pages" in the magic book, but to "refresh skills".
To put it bluntly, it's just a try to see if you can develop better abilities.
When Angel heard this, he also understood the reason for the low price of this kind of book pages... In game terms, these pages are consumables for gambling on abilities.
Consumables are naturally not too expensive.
Of course, Angel's forward-looking ability on this page is: code word analysis. Among Bagua Jing's regular forward-looking abilities, it is at a medium level.
If you meet customers who don't buy the pages for skills, you should still be able to sell them at a higher price.
Looking at the newly opened page in the magic book, Angel was silent for a moment, and finally decided to keep the page about Bagua Jing.
The main thing is that if you want to use the golden scissors to disassemble this page, you need to complete the puzzle.
And he does not have "Heat Series Puzzle Pieces (Small)" on him.
Although he can use "Universal Puzzle Pieces (Small)" to complete the puzzle, Angel feels that it is a bit of a disadvantage to use the Universal Puzzle Pieces on entry-level fashionable monsters...
So, keep it for now. You won’t be able to sell many Modern Coins anyway. If you get puzzle pieces from the Heat series later, see if you want to dismantle them.
If Baguajing can't sell it at a price, then he won't have much left to sell.
One is a clown, and the other is "Prologue: Shared Frequency".
Although the Costume Clown, like the Gossip Spirit, is a low-end fashion monster, the pages of the Costume Clown are relatively rare on the black market, and the price is much higher than that of the Gossip Spirit. Even if someone buys it to gain abilities, the base price is still six figures.
Bottoming.
In Lizi’s words, it starts with at least 100,000 modern coins.
If you encounter someone who happens to be in need of clown pages, it is possible that the price will go up several times. For example, Lizzy once saw someone spend 500,000 to buy clown pages, and they are not the kind of people with high-quality foresight...
That person is now a certain supervisor of Tina Entertainment.
From this we can see that the price of the clown depends on the buyer's demand.
As for "Prologue: Common Frequency".
Needless to say, if Angel really chooses to sell, the money spent will be enough to make Yusup change his mind...
When Angel released "Prologue: Common Frequency" before, Lizzy even directly stated that she was willing to use all her wealth to buy this page.
And her net worth exceeds tens of millions.
It's obvious.
But do you really want to sell this prologue? Angel is actually a little hesitant. The effect of sharing the frequency is actually very good...
Angel thought for a while and decided to take it one step at a time.
Go ahead and sell the costume clown, and then see how many Modern Coins you can get. If it's still not enough, then "borrow" some from Com and Lizzy first.
However, Angel personally feels that there is no need to "borrow" it, as long as Gleipnir and Starworm can complete the task quickly.
Maybe you can pass the second round of main missions by following the regular route.
Having said that, if I could actually sell the pages of "Smokescreen Scholar", that would probably be enough.
Lizzy said before that Smokescreen Scholar is unique in the modern city. If it were to be sold, the price would probably be even more terrifying than that of "Prologue: Common Frequency".
However, Smokescreen Scholar is currently locked by Laplace and can only give up temporarily.
Speaking of "Smoke Screen Scholar", Angel suddenly thought of the text column in which he had not yet received the reward for completing the "Mansion Hide and Seek" task.
I don’t know if the smokescreen scholar’s forward-looking ability is “creating fog spirits”?
Although "Create Mist Spirit" is one of the most common abilities of Smokescreen Scholars, there is also a certain chance that other abilities will randomly appear...
If the forward-looking ability is not "Create Mist Spirit", you can only pray that after the book page is locked, the ability of the last two grids will randomly produce "Create Mist Spirit".
"You have completed the random mission "Mansion Hide and Seek"."
"Congratulations on getting the Smokescreen Scholar puzzle piece*1."
Angel reached out his hand and tapped on the text column.
In an instant, the smokescreen scholar's information appeared in front of Angel's eyes.
"Smoke Scholar: One of the fashionable monsters in the style series, a scholar who is proficient in smoke style. He is good at creating stage smoke, creating a foggy atmosphere, and can also add smoke screen special effects to various works of art."
"Current puzzle: 1/3"
"The abilities of this smoke screen scholar: 1. Create fog spirits; 2. Unknown; 3. Unknown"
