Chapter 403 Evolved Sailor Suit
Chapter 403 Evolved Sailor Suit
Lu Li hesitated for a moment when faced with Brother Gong's offer. He knew that the other party was a generous person and was more familiar with market prices than himself.
What the other party said made sense. I had been setting up a stall for an entire afternoon, but not only had I failed to sell the specialized scrolls, I had also failed to sell the Ghost Dao Encyclopedia and the Beggar's Version of Collapse Jade. The main reason was that they were not very practical.
The Encyclopedia of Kidō is the same as the Encyclopedia of Konoha's Forbidden Techniques. Not all techniques in it are useful to explorers. Instead of spending a high price to buy a complete collection, explorers would rather spend the same money to buy a few skills that are personally useful to them.
The effect of the beggar version of Broken Jade is not as good as the perfect Broken Jade, but the demand for its use is not low. In addition, if it is fused, it will become a bloodline and occupy the bloodline position of the explorer. Moreover, there are not many high-level explorers who do not have bloodlines, so it is indeed not easy to sell.
After thinking about it, Lu Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's trade."
Gong Ge smiled, "Great! If you have something good in the future, you can contact me. If I'm in the space, I'll come and take a look. Don't worry, my price won't be lower than the market price."
"I'm assured of that."
Lu Li said with a smile, adding the other party as a friend after trading with him.
Most people bargain when buying things, but Brother Gong is the kind of person who will raise the price when he encounters a number he doesn't like.
"By the way, Brother Gong, you have a lot of connections, do you know any props that can increase lifespan?"
Lu Li tried to ask. He also walked around the trading market today and found that no one was selling recovery items that could increase lifespan.
This is not surprising, mainly because explorers generally do not lack lifespan. For explorers, dying of old age in space is simply a luxury. What they think about every day is how to survive in the next mission world.
Moreover, explorers usually do not stay in the mission world for very long. Lu Li has been through many mission worlds, and the total time he has stayed there does not exceed two years. Normally, it is impossible for someone to grow old and die due to the passage of time.
Of course, it is possible that the explorers' stay in the mission world will become longer in the later stages, but as the life level increases, the explorers' basic lifespan will also increase, and it will also be difficult for them to die of old age.
Therefore, in the trading market, at least in the fourth-level trading market, it is difficult to find recovery items that increase lifespan. Even if they are available, they usually cannot be sold.
But the embarrassing thing is that Lu Li really needs this thing now.
He originally thought that after he returned to the space, the space would help him replenish his lifespan through methods similar to healing, but he found that this was not the case.
The space directly judged that he had no obvious injuries and allowed him to start the settlement.
After some inquiries, Lu Li found out that the space did not provide lifespan repair services. It would only help explorers heal their injuries, not restore their lifespan.
Then Lu Li had to solve this problem by himself, otherwise he would not be able to exploit his body at will in the future. Now his hair was already half white, like a fashionable young man with highlighted hair.
"Oh? You seem to need this."
Brother Gong was a little surprised at first, but then he looked at Lu Li's hair and understood Lu Li's question, "We have an alchemist in our group, how much do you want to supplement?"
Lu Li was a little surprised when he heard this, "I want to make up for the shortfall in my lifespan. If possible, it would be even better if there is a pill that can increase the upper limit of my lifespan."
He thought that the other party was indeed a high-level explorer of the unknown. Generally speaking, elixirs that can increase lifespan would be related to the world of immortal cultivation. An adventure group that could specifically employ such an alchemist would definitely not be low in scale and upper limit.
"Is that so? Is three hundred years enough?"
Brother Gong asked back.
"Enough, how much is one?"
Lu Li inquired.
"It depends on the quality, probably around 300,000. Also, I remember he can refine a pill that can increase the upper limit of lifespan by 200 years. That one is more expensive, it's a holy item, and costs 600,000."
Brother Gong said that his offer was not high, or he would not normally bother the alchemists in the group to make such boring things. The main reason was that he thought that the boy Qiumo was quite interesting and worth investing in.
"Is that so? Then I want two pills that restore lifespan, and one with an upper limit. Are they in stock?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Li said that he had a bold idea, but he had to have a solid foundation in lifespan before he could try it.
The advanced deduction in the Martial Arts Furnace consumes lifespan. Not only does he need to make up for the lost lifespan now, but he also wants to try advanced deduction later, so he needs to prepare two pills to restore his lifespan.
"You kid... your life-burning skills won't last long."
Brother Gong said meaningfully, treating Lu Li as some kind of explorer of the magic path, but he shook his head as he spoke, "It doesn't matter, sign the contract, the pill will take a week, you pay the deposit first, and then pay the balance based on the quality."
Because alchemy is a technical job, not every pill is of the same quality. For example, a pill that restores lifespan may restore it to 300 years or it may restore it to 289 years. This fluctuates based on the performance of the alchemist and the quality of the raw materials.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Gong."
Lu Li said politely, and then signed the contract with Brother Gong.
"Well, I will ask him to refine two life-restoring pills with different medicinal properties. Taking the same pill continuously will cause drug resistance. You should be careful when buying similar things in the future."
Brother Gong gave a kind reminder.
Seeing Brother Gong was about to leave, Lu Li suddenly remembered that since the other team had an alchemist, it might be an adventure group with a more immortal cultivation style, so he decided to ask him about another need, "Brother Gong, do you have any spirit gathering items for sale?"
"What do you want this for? You don't look like you're into this kind of reinforcement system, do you?"
Brother Gong asked curiously, the spirit gathering objects are generally natural treasures grown in the immortal cultivation world with rich spiritual energy. After being collected, they are usually used to refine treasures and pills, or they are made into spirit gathering arrays for people to use for long-term cultivation.
"Some special needs."
Lu Li said implicitly.
Brother Gong didn't ask any more questions. "I have two on hand now. See if they meet your needs."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and took out two items, one was a spiritual wood that looked like a small wooden stake, and the other was a spiritual jade that looked like ice.
Lu Li checked the details and found that they indeed met the requirements for the Fairy Seed to devour. The spirit wood was an epic-level material, and the cold jade was a dark gold-level material. Based on his understanding of spirit seeds, these two things were enough to at least irrigate the Fairy Seed to the third stage.
"how much is it?"
he asked.
"The materials are not expensive, so I'll give you three hundred thousand for the total."
Brother Gong said cheerfully.
Lu Li didn't bargain and bought it on the spot.
After Brother Gong left, Lu Li closed the stall. Because of Brother Gong's last big purchase, Lu Li sold everything he had on hand, and his funds became abundant. Apart from the 1.2 million End of the World Coins needed to buy elixirs and the 300,000 needed to purchase the irrigation materials for the fairy seeds, he still had 3 million End of the World Coins. This huge amount of money was still too heavy for a fourth-level explorer, but it was just right for him, a fourth-level pioneer.
The money seemed like a lot, but Lu Li didn't get excited and think that he was an extremely wealthy man. After all, Gu Qiusha once tried to bribe him with tens of millions of dollars, so he was a little numb to the End Coin now.
In fact, in Lu Li's mind, this amount of money was just enough.
Most of his equipment was broken in the battle with the Soul Singer, but even if it wasn't broken, it was time for him to update it. With his current attributes, he can wear most of the dark gold equipment, so it's time for a major upgrade.
Speaking of upgrading equipment, he thought of the girl in sailor uniform. Last time, she seemed to have said that she wanted to practice some skills, and he didn't know if she had made any progress.
Lu Li first went to the commercial street on the ground floor, found a restaurant and had a delicious meal, then wandered towards a place he was familiar with.
Lu Li saw from afar people coming and going in front of the shops in the alley, and many explorers walked out of the shops contentedly with their miniature furniture.
"Business is good."
Lu Li walked closer and confirmed that he was not in the wrong place. It was just that after not seeing the sailor suit girl's shop for a while, it seemed that it had become popular.
He guessed that this might have something to do with his help in promoting the product. After all, the furniture made by the other party was indeed very effective, and it would be worthwhile even if it was used as an auxiliary prop.
After he told a few friends, it seemed that everyone bought one. It seemed that Black Lily also came here to buy a bed.
I guess word spread quickly and the store became popular in just a few days.
"Oh, it's you. The bed is sold out now."
The girl in the sailor uniform greeted Lu Li with full energy. She seemed to be in a very happy mood, as if she had finally realized the value of her life.
Lu Li was also happy for her. After all, the dream of the girl in the sailor uniform was to create perfect furniture and make her bed a big seller in the End Space.
"That's a shame. I wanted to buy a fancy bed."
What Lu Li said was not false. He was now wealthy and was thinking about trying out an epic bed, but the other party's shelves were completely empty.
Those explorers who came and went came in, took a look and found it was empty, and left with regret.
They all came here to see if it was real after hearing the rumors, but in the end they were disappointed because they couldn't buy the legendary special effects bed.
"If you want me to, I can customize a new model just for you. I've been full of inspiration lately and I can definitely make a great bed!"
The girl in the sailor uniform said with a smile, waving to the customers, "We are sold out today, and we are closing soon. Please come back next time."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pulled down the upper door after all the customers had left the store.
"You seem to have forgotten to let me out."
Lu Li pointed at himself. Since there was a light in the room, it wouldn't get dark even if the door was closed.
The girl in the sailor uniform rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Are you here just to buy a bed? Aren't you here to make custom equipment?"
Lu Li laughed and said, "That's not what you would say. Why, is it me buying equipment that you want to see?"
"Tsk, you really know how to annoy people."
The girl in the sailor uniform puffed up her cheeks and said, "Anyway, I have returned from my training and have become a forging master. Shouldn't it be easy for me to forge equipment?"
"Oh? Real or fake?"
Lu Li was a little puzzled. He had heard that it was more difficult for supporters to improve their life skills than for explorers.
Explorers face high risks and high rewards in the mission world. As long as they dare to work hard, even ordinary explorers can upgrade and become stronger quickly.
However, the life skills of supporters often need to be honed bit by bit, and this process is not only time-consuming but also costs a lot of money.
Generally speaking, supporters use other people's money and materials to build equipment, and in the process develop their own professional skills.
When there is no work, since I am not very rich, I can't just make a bunch of equipment just to improve my skill level. If I can't sell them, they will become accumulated goods.
For Lu Li personally, it has been more than half a year since he last saw the girl in the sailor uniform, but in fact, not that long has passed in this space. Even if the other party has also gone to the mission world, it has only been about half a year at most. How much can this improve his forging skills?
"Huh huh huh~"
The girl in the sailor uniform made a smug sound, pinched her waist with one hand, and lifted the dust sheet on the work table behind her with the other hand, "Tremble for my masterpiece!"
Lu Li took a closer look and opened his mouth, "Did you do this?"
The equipment on the table was actually a series of high-quality equipment, including not only dark gold-level equipment, but also holy-level equipment and even mythical-level equipment!
He was not clear about the classification of forging skills, but he felt that by analogy, the other party should have gone from the ordinary master level to the peak of the grandmaster level?
How long has it been? How did the other party do it?
This is unscientific. My combat expertise doesn’t level up that fast.
It felt like the other person had gone to the spiritual time house to practice.
"Who am I looking down on? I am..."
The girl in the sailor uniform said complacently, but she covered her mouth with both hands halfway through, "Ahem~ It's nothing, I just have a special talent."
This is a lie!
She did have considerable talent in forging, but if she had not returned home, it would have been impossible for her to suddenly make such a great improvement in the End Space.
Putting aside other things, with her financial resources after she left, she was not even qualified to touch those mythical materials. How could there be so many materials for her to practice?
This time she went back and behaved well, and got some true teachings, and then... she ran away from home again after she finished her studies.
"You are indeed gifted, Chuchu. I take back what I said before. It seems I will have to stay here for a while."
Lu Li smiled and said that he had added the other party as a friend. The nickname of the sailor girl in the space was "Chu Chu", and the signature under her personal avatar was "Chu Chu is so pitiful"
It’s just that Lu Li didn’t think that the other person had anything to do with the word "pitiful and pitiful".
"Hey, now you know how powerful I am, tell me, what do you want to do this time?"
Chu Chu was very pleased and raised her white chin, "Let me make it clear first, the money can't be less, and you also need to order a bed."
Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "I want to make a new outer garment, inner armor, and boots. As for the bed, can you make one that can warm and prolong life?"
