Chapter 4 Is this box spitting on you?
Does that mean there really is a hidden treasure chest?
It's a hidden leader, isn't it?
Fang Qi had already figured out how to deal with his fellow villager, and that was to play dead!
It's not just ordinary costume, but costume with acting skills, costume with "box design".
As a box that had been bugged by the system, Fang Qi could naturally see the player's ID.
The player nicknamed "Rain Source" put his sword and shield behind his back and walked straight towards him.
She casually reached out, intending to lift his veil, saying:
"This shabby wooden crate looks really ugly. I doubt there's anything good inside. But I've been on a lucky streak lately, so I'll open it!"
Fang Qi was displeased upon hearing this.
Who are you calling trash?
This is to match the art style of the beginner dungeon; it's modeled after a wooden crate, okay?!
If he really reveals his true form...
Okay, revealing his true form doesn't quite fit the art style, so he'll probably get slashed a couple of times as a monster.
You might even get criticism for your lack of business acumen.
If you offend Fang Qi, you can forget about opening the box!
Fang Qi used "Bite", and Yu Yuan's opening attack failed!
"The system says I can't open it and I need to find another way..." Yu Yuan scratched his head and looked at the other three people in the team.
"This game is pretty realistic, and it doesn't say you have to find the key. Why don't you try cutting it?" A man holding a dagger, who looked like an assassin, suggested a bad idea.
Well, kid, your name is "Little Crouching Dragon," right?
Fang Qi decided to raise the price of things he sells to this person by 10%... no, 20%!
No one else objected; after all, it was just a wooden box, and who knows, it might actually work wonders?
Little Crouching Dragon stepped forward and swung his sword.
Ding!
Deflect the knife!
Just kidding, Fang Qi's true form is the Luo family's ancestral treasure chest, which can withstand the explosion of the alchemy furnace without a scratch, so it's impossible for a level 3 cricket player to cut off his health.
Moreover, since it's hereditary and she's been used as a bedmate by the dragon girl, Loxi, for a long time, who knows if she might have some dragon blood in her?
Counterattack is absolutely out of the question.
Otherwise, if you accidentally reveal your health bar, it will be difficult to fool others or trade with players again.
Fang Qi had other ways to vent his anger, and even kill two birds with one stone.
He gently swayed his body, his mouth opening slightly:
"Tsk tsk!"
They made sounds of disgust.
He wouldn't stop talking and kept giving frantic hints.
"The box can sigh?!" Little Wolong's hand trembled, and he instantly retreated.
"What are you afraid of?!" The only healer in the team with a staff, "Zhenyu," immediately expressed her disdain upon seeing that Little Wolong was actually frightened by a wooden box.
"This thing is just an NPC, so it's perfectly normal for the hidden room to have some new features!"
"Oh, right..." Little Wolong scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
The main reason was that the lighting and shadows in the VR game were so realistic that everything looked just like the real thing, and he couldn't tell whether it was reality or not for a moment.
"It doesn't like you, let me try!" The last player with a bow came up, with the name "Duge" above his head.
He reached into his pocket, rummaged through it, activated his system backpack, pulled out a gold coin, and stuffed it into the gap in the box.
As soon as the gold coins entered Fang Qi's stomach, the trading terminal indeed displayed a new notification.
[First transaction completed, asset index improved.]
[Earn Index 1 + 100 (First Order Bonus).]
"You're a smart guy!" He gave the man a thumbs up and decided to offer him an 80%... or maybe 90% discount from now on.
Since the players have already inserted coins, he naturally needs to give some feedback to show that this is the correct way to do it.
But one gold coin is too little; it's not enough to fill you up at all, and you're only given some scraps to get by.
Fang Qi began to check his inventory.
A pile of bottles and jars, a few lumps of alchemical scraps with an unsettling color, a dragon girl, and a few pieces of rotten wood obtained from dismantling their companions...
Got it!
This is the recipe for mixing waste materials with wood planks!
Fang Qi simultaneously processed half a lump of metallurgical waste and a piece of wood board to be shipped out of the warehouse.
[Issuing an item requires 1 point of asset index. Confirm?]
You want money for these two D-grade pieces of trash?
He complained and reluctantly paid 2 points.
A nauseating smell suddenly came from my mouth and went straight to the top of my head.
The smell was too strong, and Fang Qi couldn't hold it in any longer. He didn't bother with the proper preparation and just spat it out.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
A black and green wooden plank, covered in a clump of suspicious slime, flew out from the crack in the treasure chest and landed at the player Du Ge's feet.
"Uh... I've contributed my brains and money, how about you contribute some effort?" Du Ge took a half step back seriously and looked at Xiao Wolong beside him.
"One gold coin is considered money? I get two gold coins from killing a monster..." Little Crouching Dragon was about to refuse when he saw three pairs of eyes staring at him.
The meaning is clear: if you don't pick it up, are you expecting us to?
Helpless, he could only frown and probe with his dagger.
sizzle.
Bubbles rose from the surface of the dagger, and a corroding sound seemed to emanate from it.
"Holy crap, weapon durability!!"
Little Wolong let out a wail, no longer caring about the disgust, and grabbed it, stuffing it into his backpack.
"A suspicious wooden board mixed with a strange slime, the description is... Holy crap, I'm poisoned!"
He looked at his green hands and asked the nanny for help.
"Heal." Zhenyu waved her branch staff, and a beam of emerald green light enveloped the little dragon's head.
HP +120
"The description says it's an alchemical product that's corrosive to certain materials," Little Wolong said, completely bewildered. He continued reading:
"There are two more lines of smaller text below: Alchemy is so difficult... Adventurers are delicious... Only the most generous warriors can reap rewards from greed...? How did you manage to piece together such a short sentence?"
"Hey, one gold coin for this is pretty good!" Du Ge chimed in with a mischievous grin.
"Was it spitting at you just now?"
"I...you...wait, isn't it supposed to spit out under your feet?" Little Wolong almost got confused.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Yu Yuan, the main tank, interrupted: "Generous warrior, does that mean you want to put in more coins?"
He wanted to show off in front of the only female player on the team:
"The box doesn't have a health bar and it's still sitting in the hidden room. It's just a hidden NPC, right? Hurry up, let's pool some money and stuff it in there, try to win it over with our sincerity!"
Fang Qi saw this and was secretly delighted; his mouth even opened a little wider.
That's exactly right, that's exactly what I imagined. Hurry up and show your sincerity by giving me coins!
Even without gold coins, I don't mind equipment and food, I want everything!
The small print at the end of the item description was intentionally left by him to guide players' thinking in that direction.
Fang Qi has a basic player panel where he can see item information.
He had studied it; in the game "Land of Revelation," each item had two descriptions.
The first type is large text automatically generated by the system, placed in the most prominent position below the item name.
It generally provides a brief description of the item's effects and related information, and cannot be modified.
The second type is the small print below the system description, where the item maker can leave a message, suggesting some usage precautions.
Alchemy is so hard, that's Rosie's complaint; adventurers taste so good, that's the mimic's inner voice...
The final hint was naturally added by Fang Qi himself.
