"They are all bound." Rabbit said, "Your number is not enough? The captain reminded us to prepare an extra set of red medicine before entering the dungeon."
"Red Medicine" is an advanced medicine that can be exchanged with the system when you end the copy and return to the safe zone. It is very effective for external trauma.
The "bound version" costs 20 points and can only be used by yourself. The "unbound version" requires 100 points and can be traded to other players or NPCs - but the extremely low cost-effectiveness caused by the price makes it so that unless you are a special player who specializes in reselling system products, you will not buy unbound red medicine to waste.
Rabbit obviously has no hobby of reselling.
Curly was stumped by the question: “…”
Rabbit was more thoughtful than most players. She reacted quickly and glanced back, "Is the newbie injured?"
Curly said with a straight face, "It's none of my business."
"Well, it's none of your business." Rabbit's eyes were sharp. Seeing a little dark blood stain on the boy's thin waist, he estimated that the injury might be serious. He frowned slightly and suggested, "Go ask the captain. He has a lot of strange things in his warehouse."
Curly said nothing.
But his steps became faster and faster, and then, as if inadvertently, he followed the procession.
"Captain." Curly was silent for a moment, then spoke quickly, "Do you have any non-binding red potions on you? I don't have enough in stock. Lend me some and I'll transfer the points back to you in the safe zone."
Their captain seemed to slow down his pace a bit. His facial features, outlined in the light, looked handsome yet a little cold. He pursed his thin lips as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he only managed one sentence: "I'll trade it to you."
Curly's steps seemed inexplicably lighter.
The system panel opened, and the two of them quickly completed the handover of the items. When Curly was about to wait for the newcomer who had been dawdling for a long time and was still at the end of the team, he heard Brother Xing softly calling his name.
"Um?"
"You seem to be paying a little too much attention to him."
Curly paused for a moment, then said with a sour face, "… At least it counts as some survival points."
Points are the only universal currency in the Escape World.
Players can use these points to exchange for some necessary supplies, such as the magical universal medical potion, commonly known as "red medicine", guns or cold weapons that novices can master, and some strange talents and abilities that exceed the limits of the human body.
Of course, the points required are also huge.
When they finish a game and return to the player safe point, the points earned from clearing the dungeon will be calculated. There are basic points calculated based on the difficulty of the dungeon, additional bonus points for completing side quests or participating in special plots, and finally survival points based on the number of surviving players... Especially when the surviving players include newcomers, the survival points will be considerable.
But such "considerable" survival points are not so coveted by veteran team members like Curly, who have always relied on extra bonus points to get the bulk of the points.
Faced with such a poor excuse, the captain did not say anything else and just looked away.
Most of the players had already walked into the banquet hall under the urging of the servants' empty gazes, except Curly, who was leaning against the doorpost carved with angel images. When the latecomer was about to step into the banquet hall, he stretched out his foot to stop him.
