Chapter 75: With this skill, can you make a bed?
When Lu Li asked about the price, Tuantuan was delighted because she knew that the big man in front of her definitely had the ability to buy the "Slayer".
"Senior said the minimum is 20,000 End of the World Coins, no bargaining."
The price Tuantuan mentioned made some explorers around who heard it for the first time sigh at how expensive the purple equipment was.
First-level explorers generally use sophisticated equipment, and only better explorers can afford rare equipment. After all, the average income of many explorers in a world is only about four or five thousand End Coins.
Faced with purple equipment that costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of End of Life Coins, even many top-level explorers of the first order are powerless.
"Okay, let's trade."
Lu Li nodded readily, without any intention of bargaining, because he knew that this thing was not Tuan Tuan, and the other party's price was indeed not expensive.
As a purple outfit with almost full score, the market value of Slayer should be more than 20,000 End Coins. Depending on the market situation, it is not surprising that its price can be sold as high as 25,000. It seems that its real owner is in urgent need of money, otherwise he would not sell it at such a low price.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Tuan Tuan also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and was happy that she had completed the task assigned by her senior. She was afraid that Lu Li would bargain with her, which would be a bit embarrassing.
After paying the money and receiving the goods, Lu Li left with satisfaction.
However, his good luck seemed to have run out. It was difficult to come across bargains again and again. He spent several hours browsing the trading market but still didn't see the equipment he wanted.
Finally, when I walked around and passed by Tuantuan’s stall, I was stopped by him.
"Boss, didn't you find satisfactory equipment?"
Tuantuan’s things have been sold out almost completely and he is now packing up his stall.
Lu Li nodded, "Do you have any good stuff?"
"Boss, you know my strength. The Slayer is already the best thing in my stall. But if you have money, you can go to the commercial street on the lower level. There are shops opened by supporters there, and the equipment will be more comprehensive."
Tuan Tuan suggested, "The price will be a little higher. After all, they are not like us explorers and are not in a hurry to ship."
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll go check it out."
Lu Li thanked him and left quickly, but Tuan Tuan gave him a new idea.
Just as Tuantuan said, since the supporters rarely enter the mission world and stay in the space for a very long time, they are mainly responsible for production in the rear, so they do not need quick transactions like the explorers.
Explorers don’t stay in space for long, and because the mission world is extremely dangerous, they feel a sense of urgency to improve their strength, so they need to quickly convert useless equipment into effective combat power.
This is the significance of the trading market. It is a place where explorers share their spoils. Everyone takes what they need, and usually no "profit" is generated, so equipment and props are relatively cheaper.
The commercial street on the bottom floor is the territory of the supporters. With the word "business" in it, its commercial nature is very obvious. The supporters open shops to sell equipment in order to make money, so naturally the items sold are more expensive than those sold by the explorers.
After all, there are only two sources for the equipment sold by explorers: one is to obtain it in the mission world, and the other is to open treasure chests. Both methods make it difficult to guarantee the quality and effectiveness of the equipment.
Different mission worlds produce different types of equipment and props, which cannot be suitable for all explorers' combat styles. As for unstable things like treasure chests, it is even more difficult to guarantee the type and quality of the items opened.
So what explorers seek when setting up stalls in the trading market is fate, that is, what is trash in their own eyes may be a treasure in the eyes of others.
The supporter shops in the commercial street are different. Those supporter shops that specialize in making equipment have a full range of equipment types and can even provide customized services, which perfectly solves the problem of explorers having money but not being able to find suitable equipment.
Soon, Lu Li arrived at the commercial street, where there was a large flow of people, and Lu Li felt that there were many people here who were better than himself.
The Commercial Street is the only place that has no rank restrictions and is open to all explorers, so in theory there will be many high-level explorers walking around here.
When Lu Li first came to the space, he did not go shopping in the commercial street. The main reason was that he felt that he did not have much money and would probably be in vain if he went shopping.
This time when he came to the commercial street, he was amazed after just walking a distance.
All I can say is that he has every kind of store he can imagine, his backers have really figured out how to make money, and they have also divided the fields into very specific categories.
There are shops selling equipment, shops selling restorative items, shops selling auxiliary items, shops selling bloodline items, shops selling skill scrolls... There is also an area that sells all equipment, and it is also subdivided into shops selling main weapons, secondary weapons, armor, foot gear, accessories, etc. In addition to these shops that are directly linked to the adventure world of the explorers, there are also many shops for life and entertainment, such as restaurants, bars, etc.
Just now, Lu Li saw a young lady standing on the street soliciting customers. She was wearing cool clothes and handed him a "class schedule" when he passed by.
Lu Li took a quick glance. He couldn't understand what "Eighteen Styles", "Poison Dragon Drill", "Full Set" and "Half Set" were.
In short, the prosperity of the commercial street was far beyond his imagination. It was a gathering place for supporters and a paradise for wealthy explorers.
After walking around for a while, he found that the price of equipment here was indeed a level higher than that in the trading market, about 20% more expensive, and those stores with larger storefronts seemed to be aimed at high-level explorers and were not suitable for him to consume.
Previously, he entered a department store that sold equipment. Lu Li felt that the attributes of the waitresses walking around in OL clothes were higher than his...
The equipment sold there was of a quality he had never heard of before, and he didn't want to count the digits on the price tags.
After walking for a while, Lu Li chose to leave the main road of the commercial street and go to the small branch shops. Perhaps that place is more suitable for low-level explorers to consume.
Soon, he saw a small shop. There were no hired service staff. There was only a young girl who seemed to be the owner sitting in front of the counter, with her chin on her hand, looking dazed.
Seeing Lu Li walking towards the store door, the girl in the sailor suit perked up immediately, stood up and showed a standard business smile, "Hello handsome man, would you like to buy a bed?"
"Buy a bed?"
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then paused and looked up at the sign above the store door, "Personalized Customization"
He thought this was a place where he could order custom equipment. Could it be that this was a place that sold furniture? Was he mistaken?
After he stepped over the stairs, he took a look. Indeed, there were a lot of furniture on the shelves that had been shrunk using space technology, and there were many beds among them...
"Oh, I thought this was a place for selling equipment, sorry to bother you."
Lu Li turned around and walked away, wondering who on earth would buy a bed in the space? Is there something wrong with his brain? He has money but nowhere to spend it on furniture?
He felt that the money should be used on himself first and improving his strength was the main issue. He thought the furniture in the room was good enough.
"Don't leave!"
The girl in the sailor uniform became a little anxious when she saw Lu Li was leaving. Her store had just opened, but a month had passed and she still hadn't received a single order.
She hurriedly walked out and stopped in front of Lu Li, "The store also sells equipment, and I can customize it according to your needs."
Lu Li looked up and down with suspicion at the girl in the sailor suit with a bit of baby fat on her face. He felt that she didn't look like a senior supporter and was a furniture seller. As for making equipment... could she do it?
"Come and have a look first, really, my cooking skills are not bad!"
The girl in the sailor uniform pulled Lu Li's hand and dragged him, but the embarrassing thing was that she failed to drag him after two tries, because explorers/supporters were not allowed to force each other in this space, which included attacks and forced pulling and pushing of people.
"Then let me take a look."
With the mentality of giving it a try, Lu Li followed the girl in the sailor uniform into the store. Under her guidance, they came to the shelves at the back. There were indeed quite a few equipments displayed here, which were previously blocked by the furniture shelves in the front.
"legend?"
Lu Li's eyes lit up, "Did you do this too?"
The girl in the sailor uniform put her hands on her waist and raised her head slightly, with a proud look on her pretty and lovely face. "Hehe, of course I made it. So, this distinguished customer, do you want to buy one?"
Lu Li shook his head. The legendary equipment was too expensive and he could not afford it now. He underestimated this girl who seemed much younger than him both in appearance and mental age. She turned out to be a master forger with excellent skills.
The few pieces of equipment he just looked at were all legendary with full ratings, the effects were very powerful, and there were no unnecessary or useless functions, which showed his talent as a blacksmith.
It’s a pity that this girl seems to have a problem with her brain. With such skills, why did she decide to sell furniture?
