Dilapidated and collapsed walls, old buildings, yellow sand all over the sky, and some stalls set up by modified off-road vehicles or commercial trucks on the roadside.
This is the entire appearance of this supply point, which players call the "Withered Desert Flea Stall".
The supply point is a special reality that appears due to the needs of the player. It is not set by the system, but formed spontaneously by the player.
Because the player's anti-gravity backpack has limited convenience, and leveling in "Legacy" consumes a lot of money, it is easy to run out of supplies or the backpack is full.
At this time, if you go back to the city to supply supplies or sell things, it is sometimes a waste of time.
You know, the map in "War Chronicles" is extremely vast, larger than the real world.
For example, the Withered Desert is more than two hundred miles away from Stormwind City. It would take more than an hour for Feng Luo to go back and forth in his SUV1.
Not to mention, the high temperature of driving in this nearly 50-degree weather is torture. Although the temperature regulation function of the biochip in the player's body can enable the player to endure this high temperature, the body still feels uncomfortable.
It was also because of the dual adjustment functions of the SUA combat suit and the biochip that Feng Luo was able to go on his way as if nothing had happened, which ordinary players could not do.
Therefore, many merchant players will use the means of transportation registered in the merchant guild to set up stalls near popular leveling points to do some trading.
The Withered Desert is not a popular leveling spot, but its location is close to Stormwind City, which has more than 10 million players.
In addition, the desert produces some special materials that are not found elsewhere, so although the supply point is not large, there are many merchants and players staying there.
"Hey! Brother, what do you want to buy? Come and take a look. I'm not bragging, I have everything here!"
Seeing Feng Luo getting off the sci-fi-looking "Land Bullet", he first put away the energy motorcycle, then put the combat uniform into his backpack before putting it on, and then cleaned up the sand all over his body.
Not far from him, a businessman player with a stubble on his face, the top part of his combat uniform pulled open and his chest exposed, immediately called Feng Luodao with shining eyes.
As a merchant player who has been hanging out at supply points for a long time, especially if he is also a gunner in the combat profession, such players naturally have very "poisonous" eyes. He could tell at a glance that the price of Feng Luo's equipment plus land bullets was no less than 500,000 credits!
"Local tycoon, fat sheep. Don't let him go!"
This was exactly what was going through the mind of the bearded merchant player with a smile on his face.
It has to be said that in the game, it is easy for people to see the "understanding" of the equipment on the body, especially the most conspicuous combat uniform.
For example, during the previous cleanup mission, Lin Aotian felt that Feng Luo was an "ordinary player" (in his eyes) because the combat uniform he was wearing at that time was just a level 40 excellent item that he randomly bought on the exchange.
But once you switch to this rare level 40 SUA combat uniform that is highly recognizable in the eyes of professionals, anyone who knows the product will know that this is a "high-end" player.
What's more, land bullets worth 180,000 credits are an attractive means of transportation for players who like energy motorcycles.
After all, not everyone is as wealthy as Lin Aotian or Sister Rui, and can ignore millions of credit points.
In fact, most of the equipment currently worn by players is just a mix of ordinary and refined-level equipment. Anyone who owns an excellent-level weapon can be considered an elite player.
This is because after the version update, more and more players have reached level 45 or above, resulting in an increasing number of high-level equipment above level 40.
Otherwise, ordinary whiteboard equipment is the mainstream equipment.
The reason why Feng Luo always seemed to be lagging behind in equipment before was because the teammates around him were all either wealthy or top players.
Like the Red Queen, the group of VIP customers in the Nightless City Club, or Sand Wolf and Lin Aotian, these people can be said to be among the players with the best equipment in "War Chronicles". The reason for falling behind again is Feng Luo's equipment. It is obviously inferior.
But if you compare his equipment in the entire "War Chronicles", he can definitely directly crush 99% of the players, and if you include the Eye of Thunder and Barrett, the decimal point There are two more nines to follow!
That's why this bright-eyed bearded businessman player is so enthusiastic about Feng Luo.
"Yes. I need desert skin lizard saliva crystals and desert fire ant eggs. Do you have them here?"
Feng Luo walked over, turned around in front of the stall formed by the energy truck that his body emperor specially used to set up stalls, looked at the goods on it that were set to "display attributes" and said.
"Desert skink saliva, desert fire ant eggs..."
Hearing the two things Feng Luo wanted, the Huzha Merchant player was stunned, then he rolled his eyes and changed the subject.
"Two rare materials... Brother, you are going to use them for tasks. Hey, let me tell you..."
"If not, I'll go somewhere else."
Feng Luo was not fooled at all and turned around to leave.
"Oh, wait!"
"Brother, to tell you the truth, you can't find it even if you go to another house now."
"You're here at an unlucky time, brother. The hoarder has just arrived, and many rare materials have been taken away today, including these two materials!"
Seeing that Feng Luo really wanted to leave directly, the Hu Zha merchant player became a little anxious and spoke loudly.
"stockpile."
Feng Luo frowned when he heard this word.
In "War Chronicles", it is actually very convenient for players to buy materials.
Because the entire exchange is directly connected to the federal virtual network. Therefore, after purchasing something, you can send it directly from the corresponding exchange to the exchange in the city where you are located, and then pick up the goods.
But this is only limited to some commonly used materials, or rare materials that are not too in short supply.
Because some rare materials with low output or particularly valuable materials will be targeted by some large guilds or merchant organizations, and then taken away directly from the place of production.
Then put high prices on the exchange, and even use various means to speculate on prices and control prices.
This method commonly used in futures in reality is also very effective in games.
But the victims are undoubtedly ordinary players. When they need some materials, they can only either buy them at a high price or go to the place of production to brush them themselves.
What's even more despicable is that in order to control prices, some business organizations will hoard all materials for a period of time and not release them at all, greatly raising the price before selling them.
It was impossible for Feng Luo not to be disgusted with this kind of behavior, but it couldn't be said that he was too disgusted because it was just a way of playing the game.
Most players have done it by hoarding goods. The difference is that merchant organizations like this do it more thoroughly.
It's just that this happened today, but it undoubtedly caused him a lot of trouble.
Originally, the task Lin gave him was to collect six rare materials. There were no big requirements on how to obtain them, and it did not necessarily have to be obtained by killing monsters.
So he could have purchased them through the exchange, but after checking, he found that none of the three types were available, so he could only farm the Swamp Stone Crocodile in the Sunset Swamp first, and then go to the supply point in the Withered Desert to see the supply in person. Cannot be purchased.
Now listening to what this merchant player said, it turned out that the goods were hoarded, and he also missed the time!
"It seems that we really have no choice but to go into the desert and do it ourselves!" Feng Luo thought to himself.
He knew that if he asked this bearded businessman now, he would probably be able to tell him the contact information of those who were hoarding goods.
But he wasn't prepared to ask, because he always felt like he was at a disadvantage when trying to buy materials from those people!
He didn't like this feeling.
It's too difficult to fight by himself. Anyway, with his current preparation, it's not too difficult on a map around level 40 like the Blighted Desert.
Feng Luo thought for a while, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Oh, don't leave. Brother, although there are no more desert skink saliva and desert fire ant eggs, I still have a lot of other good things here. Take a look, maybe there is something you need!"
The bearded merchant player is a little anxious. You cannot encounter such a fat sheep casually.
"Stop watching!"
Feng Luo shook his head and prepared to go around his stall.
"Brother, it's true! Let me tell you, I have a lot of good stuff here. Like rare equipment, energy crystal cores of desert fire ants..."
Seeing that the business was about to go to waste, the Hu Zha merchant player was really anxious. He immediately pressed his finger on the personal terminal and opened a silver safe on the energy truck behind him, hoping to attract Feng Luo's attention.
"Need not… "
Feng Luo was mid-sentence when he suddenly stopped and looked at his wrist strangely.
The pet space hidden on his wrist emerged, and the screen showed that 24K, who had been received inside, was flapping its wings inside, with six golden little paws "dancing", as if he wanted to come out immediately.
At the same time, a "spiritual link" broke through the limitations of the watch and reached his head, with a sense of urgency and desire.
