"Hiss..."
The zombies and beasts outside the city were screaming loudly.
For these monsters, night is their favorite time to be active compared to day, no doubt about it.
The sound entered the room. Yang Shuo opened his dry eyelids and thought to himself, "It's five o'clock."
I lay in bed last night thinking for a long time and made a lot of plans. In total, I only slept for a little over two hours.
Yang Shuo was originally going to go to the magic tool shop yesterday, but just as he was about to leave, the Aurora Mantis was promoted. It's just that the little guy didn't have enough accumulation and his strength was relatively weak. He was obviously exhausted in the middle of the promotion, so Yang Shuo had to stay and protect it and sort out its strength. This delay lasted until late at night.
I have to say that the Aurora Mantis does have unlimited potential. It has been promoted to the intermediate level of nuclear transformation in just a few days. After the advancement, the little guy has grown to 50 centimeters, and the two limb blades are becoming more and more chilling. The power of the alien insect is also beginning to show.
If it had grown normally, the Aurora Mantis would not have evolved so fast. The main reason was that Yang Shuo used a large amount of nuclear crystals to feed it, allowing it to temper its body with nuclear crystals in its infancy, which further increased its already impressive talent.
After reaching the advanced level of nuclear transformation, Yang Shuo had already developed a will as strong as steel, so this bit of sleepiness was nothing.
He immediately pushed away the thin silk quilt on his body and stood up neatly.
I opened the door and a cool autumn breeze was blowing outside.
The sun had not risen yet and the sky was a deep blue, seeming to be both dark and bright.
There seemed to be a light smoke hanging in the air, drifting away, as if falling into a dream. Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Yang Shuo suddenly felt his mind clear, and his drowsiness was completely driven away.
Gazing from a distance, the lights in the towering buildings have not yet been turned on. Perhaps it is at this moment that people can forget the pain and danger, and quietly recall the past in their dreams.
After two large-scale monster attacks, Dajing Gate was completely transformed. Even though many people died tragically, the solidity of the city walls prevented the city from being affected too much.
Get rid of the rottenness and keep the glitz.
Today, Dajingmen is full of vitality. Even though it is only around five o'clock, you can still hear knocking sounds coming from not far away. Those are the sounds of construction. In order to accommodate the refugees, the construction in the city is going on day and night.
The city’s preliminary budget is expected to ensure that everyone has food and shelter within a month.
If it were in peacetime, striving to provide housing for tens of thousands of people in just one month might be seen as a huge joke. However, in this world with nuclear energy, all the impossible has the chance to become possible. With the help of the God-given, both the progress and the high-intensity work have been significantly improved.
Yang Shuo reached into his arms, took out a black bag, and poured out something the size of an adult's thumb, as glittering and dazzling as a diamond. This was the nuclear crystal. Several siege battles had made Yang Shuo rich, and his wealth was even greater than that of a group leader.
No!
To be precise, his wealth alone is comparable to that of half of the God-given ones in the Dajing Gate. You know, compared with the rewards that ordinary God-given ones get from fighting against low-level zombies, Yang Shuo turned the tide in both battles, and the ones he faced were all legendary strongmen. It is conceivable how much wealth he has accumulated in this way!
You know, nuclear crystals also have different levels. Yang Shuo picked up one and kneaded it in his hand. He shook his head helplessly and muttered in a low voice: "Although I am relatively wealthy compared to others, it is a one-time consumable. The identity of a lone traveler means that I need more nuclear crystals to obtain military status and attention."
Yang Shuo didn't sleep all night, thinking about the use of nuclear crystals. Nuclear crystals can not only be used for cultivation, but also as currency to buy and sell goods.
The magic tool shop has three floors. The first floor is for receiving quests, the second floor is for selling elixirs, and the third floor is Yang Shuo's destination, where runes, formations, and enchantments are sold.
Although it was just dawn, the place on the first floor where tasks were received was already filled with people. Although everyone's face was filled with fatigue, their eyes exuded a strong sense of competition and enthusiasm. After the renovation of the old city, in addition to greatly improving the quality of life of ordinary people, the daily life of the God-given people had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although the Dajingmen is in charge of the food, clothing and housing of the gifted ones, cultivation is not an easy life. What the gifted ones really care about are the nuclear crystals and realms. In addition to the monthly salary, if they want to obtain extra nuclear crystals, there is another possibility, which is to exchange them for missions.
Before the magic tool shop opened, the first floor was the so-called task receiving area, where the God-given ones could obtain rewards by accepting different tasks, and then purchase other items or use them for their own practice.
Yang Shuo walked forward in the wide square, then turned a few corners, and a three-story, quaint and elegant attic came into his sight.
Entering the magic tool shop, there are two guards standing at the door, standing there like a sculpture, but the faint sense of oppression emanating from them seems to warn everyone who comes here not to act rashly.
Yang Shuo walked straight in. The first floor of the magic tool shop was a huge room that could accommodate hundreds of people. On the west side were rows of stone tablets, on which were recorded numerous Dajingmen missions. A group of God-given people were standing in front of the stone tablets, their eyes quickly wandering on the stone tablets, looking for missions that suited them.
In the middle of the room, there is a huge long table. Sitting at the table are five middle-aged men with leisurely expressions, like five accountants, recording the tasks received by the God-given ones or exchanging rewards for those who have completed the tasks.
Walking to the stone tablet, Yang Shuo set his sights on it. Picking a black lotus will reward you with ten low-level nuclear crystals, obtaining five pairs of stone bear paws will reward you with ten hunting points, and catching soul-eating ant larvae will reward you with thirty mid-level nuclear crystals and ten hunting points. Killing the rotten wolf clan and retrieving the head of the rotten wolf leader will reward you with ten high-level nuclear crystals and fifty hunting points. There are countless tasks written on the hunting tablet, and each type has its own merits. Whether it is peacetime or doomsday hell, there are transactions, and there is of course currency. In addition to the known nuclear crystals, this hunting point can be understood as a voucher.
After all, there are quite a few God-given people in Dajingmen. Even if each person completes the lowest-level task, it will be a considerable amount of nuclear crystals. Therefore, Dajingmen came up with this method to use hunting points instead of nuclear crystal rewards. The use of hunting points is enormous. Not only can they be exchanged for weapons and magic tools, but they can also be exchanged for military ranks.
This is not buying or selling official positions, but a kind of encouragement to the God-given ones. After all, the hunting points will increase relatively with the different positions when exchanging military ranks. The God-given ones pay with their income and strength, while Dajingmen gets the loyalty of a high-level God-given one for free. This deal is not a loss no matter how you look at it.
Xing Jun is now a second lieutenant, and he is fully capable of promoting non-commissioned officers and soldiers.
Some of the mission rewards on the stone tablet only include hunting points, and some only include nuclear crystals. As for the missions that can obtain both hunting points and nuclear crystals, although the rewards are quite generous, the difficulty will definitely be greatly increased.
After casually glancing at the crowded crowd, Yang Shuo strode to the second floor.
Just after taking one step, a strong aroma of medicine entered Yang Shuo's nose, and he felt refreshed after just one whiff.
"Excuse me, would you like to buy some medicine?" Yang Shuo had just stepped onto the second floor when a delicate voice reached his ears.
Yang Shuo turned his head and saw a gentle and lovely girl of about 16 or 17 standing next to him. She had long hair and was wearing a red shopping guide uniform, revealing a piece of delicate and white skin on her neck, which was shining brightly in the sunlight. She was wearing black stockings, which wrapped her hips beautifully, and her posture was gorgeous!
"I'm just passing by. I'm going to the third floor to check out the runes." The girl was full of youth and was one in a million, but Yang Shuo just glanced at her and looked away, saying lightly.
"Okay, if you have any instructions, you can come to me."
"Thanks."
"No need." The girl smiled and turned to leave.
These girls who are similar to shopping guides are specially set up for those who have been gifted by God. They will explain the uses of elixirs to you, but it would be a big mistake to regard these girls as buyers who really sell goods.
Although most of them are ordinary people, they are the face of Dajingmen. I remember there was a news a few days ago that a high-level nuclear-transformed God-given one, who was also talented, came here arrogantly and flirted with a young girl. He was immediately slapped to death by a guard hiding in the dark. This taught a vivid lesson to the God-given one who was used to being wild outside, and he dared not do anything rash to these "shopping guides" again.
You know, today's Dajingmen is no longer the same as before. Today, Xing Jun is in full control of the place. The atmosphere in Dajingmen has changed a lot, especially with the improvement and perfection of the laws, the safety factor has been greatly increased.
There are white marble pillars at the four corners of the second-floor room, and the surrounding walls are all made of white stone bricks. Orchids carved from gold bloom gorgeously between the white stones, and green gauze curtains sway in the wind. Standing in this ten-meter-high building, Yang Shuo's mind emerges with two words: luxury.
Although the second floor is luxurious and spacious, there are only a few people there, making it seem a bit deserted.
There were dozens of small red tables in the room, with pills neatly placed on them. The medicinal fragrance that Yang Shuo smelled came from them.
Since he was here, of course he had to take a look. Yang Shuo slowly walked towards the tables and saw pills, round and full, lying quietly on the tables.
"Anti-poison pill, made from the venom of the blue-eyed demon snake, has a significant effect in using poison to fight poison. It's a first-grade pill and is worth thirty nuclear-transformation primary nuclear crystals." When the doomsday comes, everything will be strictly graded, and pills are no exception.
Alchemists are also a kind of God-given people, but compared with rune masters, they are not so rare. Although nuclear crystals can be used directly to treat injuries, elixirs are better.
Just like a root of ginseng, if you swallow it directly, it will have a therapeutic effect, but it will also waste nearly half of its medicinal effects. If the ginseng is ground and mixed with different medicinal materials, the medicine made can fully tap the value of a root of ginseng.
This kind of elixir is not the "elixir of immortality" made for emperors in ancient times using sulfur or the like, but a holy medicine for healing specially prepared by God by crushing nuclear crystals and mixing them with different precious medicinal materials or body parts of exotic beasts and insects.
There are different levels of realms, and elixirs are also divided into grades, with the first grade being the lowest and the sixth grade being the highest.
The anti-poison pill that Yang Shuo is seeing now is the most inferior one among them.
It is conceivable that the anti-poison pill has such magical abilities, not to mention what the effect would be if it were at a higher level. That could truly be called a elixir.
His eyes flickered leisurely over the pill, and Yang Shuo read out the introduction of the pill softly. With the current speed of species evolution, the power of some poisonous insects and beasts is a hundred times that of peacetime. With such a pill, safety will be greatly increased.
"Power-Gathering Pill, made from the Three-Eyed Spiritual Sheep Whip and dozens of extremely yang herbs, it increases nuclear energy by 30% in a short period of time. Do not take two pills at the same time, otherwise you will experience a 24-hour weakness period, remember. It is worth fifty intermediate-level nuclear crystals."
In addition, there are many other elixirs, such as the Marching Pill, which increases the speed by 20% in a short period of time, the Bone-setting Pill, which treats broken bones, the Hemostatic Powder, which stops bleeding and speeds up wound recovery, and so on...
Yang Shuo silently looked at the introduction of the elixirs he had passed. They all had very good therapeutic effects and could reverse the crisis if used properly.
Nowadays, Yang Shuo is no longer the poor boy who came out of the preparatory camp. These pills are luxuries for ordinary people, but for Yang Shuo, they are nothing.
After buying more than a dozen pills, Yang Shuo stepped into the third floor.
Compared to the luxurious feeling of the second floor, the third floor gives people a sense of firmness and masculinity.
There was no unnecessary decoration in the whole room except for six tall copper pillars with pythons in the shape of coiled pythons. On each pillar was a nimble giant python, coiled up, looking up at the roof.
There are dozens of different runes hung on each of the copper pillars. Some are triangular, some are prismatic, some are circular, some are square, and some are elliptical. In short, there is a shape for each type of rune.
Compared to elixirs, the creation of runes is relatively freer, and the masters who create them can give them various shapes.
The third floor is the most essential floor of the magic shop, where not only runes are sold, but also formations and enchanted items.
If the hunting points on the first floor and the elixirs on the second floor are the means and wisdom that humans have mastered in the past, then these items on the third floor are the new crystallization of wisdom after the end of the world.
Have you ever seen a pair of gloves that can suck blood when worn on your hands? Shoes that can speed up your movement when worn on your body? Wings that can be used for short-term flight? Or a ring that can store goods
If you have money, if you can afford it, you can own all these items that only exist in fantasy stories!
All things have yin and yang, and the end of the world also has two sides. Different from the killing outside, the magic tool shop is the charm of the end of the world!
It is also the only glory left in the ruins...
