Chapter Eleven: Transactions

  ♂?,,

  The void space gradually blurred and turned dark again. When Fang Lin regained his vision, he found himself in a small room with a simple and rustic style that gave people the feeling of being surrounded by brown colors everywhere. There were only two wall cabinets and a wooden stool that looked very heavy and solid. Soon, the nightmare imprint gave out a hint:

  "This is a private room in the Nightmare Space, outsiders are not allowed to enter. All equipment that cannot be brought back to the real world will be stored here. If your body is injured, you can recover quickly here, and deduct a certain number of points. The key to entering and exiting this room is the Nightmare Seal. In the Nightmare Space, your appearance will be blurred, so when communicating with others, do not reveal your identity in the real world, lest you bring unnecessary serious consequences. If you have any needs, you can inquire through the Nightmare Seal, but it will consume a certain number of points."

  Fang Lin pondered the meaning of these words, but soon he spoke up:

  "Query my current accumulated points and explain the use of potential points."

  Soon he got a response:

  When leaving the nightmare world, a total of 1550 points were deducted, minus the task's necessary conditions of 300 points. Currently owned points: 1250 points. Potential points are used to upgrade basic skills and combat skills.

  Each person can only learn three combat skills. The basic skills and the advanced training of the basic skills are not subject to this restriction, with a total of eight items: Basic Leg Technique, Basic Fist Technique, Basic Palm Technique, Basic Close Combat, Basic Long-range Combat, Basic Footwork, Basic Grappling, and Basic Waist Strength. The prerequisite for learning advanced combat skills is often proficient in basic skills as support. For example, the skill "Rotating Attack" used by the person who attacked earlier was learned from Leon S. Kennedy (bnka) in Street Fighter II, and the prerequisite for learning Rotating Attack is: Basic Leg Technique LV12, Basic Footwork LV9, Basic Waist Strength LV13.

  Some high-end equipment also requires certain combat skills or basic skill upgrades to be equipped. For example, the "Diken's Red Blood Gloves" you obtained earlier require Hand-to-Hand Combat Skill Level 5. To learn Hand-to-Hand Combat, you need Basic Melee LV3, Basic Fist Technique LV7, and Basic Leg Technique LV6. The higher the skill level, the more potential points are consumed to upgrade it. For example, upgrading a basic skill from Level 1 to Level 10 requires 22 points (1x3+2x3+3x3+4). If it's a combat skill, even more potential points are consumed! Each time you complete a hidden task, you gain 1-5 potential points based on the difficulty level.

  Improvement of skills can also be achieved through self-discipline and hard training, usually only using potential points when learning new skills or encountering bottlenecks. For example, a world champion in real-world full-contact karate may have already possessed advanced basic punching techniques and bare-handed combat skills from the moment they entered the game.

  Basic skills and some combat skills can be purchased with points in the Nightmare Space and then upgraded with Potential Points. Advanced skills, on the other hand, must be learned through self-enlightenment or by interacting with characters in the Nightmare World.

  Upon seeing this, Fang Lin had a general understanding. He thought for a moment and realized that he currently had six potential points. He also brought out the storage space from his dream seal, and found that many of the spoils of war he had placed inside, although they had fallen due to being "unremovable from this world", still remained. Among them, the most valuable were the 20 silver coins dropped by the red giant hammer warrior, which could be exchanged for 1000 points. In addition, there were dozens of low-quality silver accessories that could be exchanged for a total of 650 points. Of course, he had no intention of selling the green suit gloves and Scorn's Fury to the store.

  Fang Lin, who had over 2,000 points, frowned at the basic skill sales panel in front of him. A lv1 basic fist method required 2000 points to purchase, and after purchasing, he still needed to use potential points to upgrade. He naturally didn't want to spend his limited funds on this.

  After pushing the door out of his exclusive room, Fang Lin turned back to see that the door had completely dissolved into the wall, leaving no trace, and was still moving at a uniform speed, which was also for others to come from the room to recognize their identity.

  Fang Lin turned around and looked up, even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still a bit dazed for a moment. In front of him was an enormous space! To be precise, the surrounding walls seemed to be a huge dome-shaped eggshell, with his room enclosed within it. The ground wasn't hard, but rather slightly soft, giving off a feeling similar to rubber, and emitting a faint glow. Before him lay an exceptionally vast square, where at least nearly a thousand people were either squatting or standing, chattering away like in a marketplace. However, each person's head was shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible to discern their facial features clearly. It seemed to be the protective effect specifically set up by the dream demon space.

  Fang Lin Xun Bu walked towards the nearest gathering place, and as expected, the people squatting there were selling things, all of which were equipment brought out from the Nightmare World. He even found an E-level skill scroll - Cutting Technique. Of course, the price was extremely low, only 60 points, and it seemed like no one was interested in buying it. He shook his head and smiled wryly, looking at the real Cutting Technique he possessed, feeling that it was truly a blessing in disguise.

  At this time, he had walked through half of the place and saw a sheepskin scroll with basic step method live3. The sheepskin scroll also emitted a faint golden light. He was slightly stunned, walked over, picked it up... In the Dream Nightmare space, unlike the Dream Nightmare world, there are protective mechanisms, including many rules that cannot attack others, and transactions have automatic detection protection capabilities... Immediately prompted, basic step method live3 scroll, after learning can directly master basic step method lv3, and only consume a little potential point.

  He looked the seller up and down, a sturdy figure, although his face was unclear, it could be seen that he was a white man. He might be interested in his own silver plot equipment Scorn's anger, so he asked the price first:

  "How much does it cost?"

  That white man uttered a string of fluent French, and Fang Lin, although very intelligent, could only know that he was speaking French with all his might. If it were in the real world, the specific content would be completely unknown, but at this time, the dream imprint directly translated the original intention of the other party, even the impatient tone was expressed vividly.

  "Twenty thousand points."

  Fang Lin's current assets were less than a tenth of the price he was asking for, and the seller seemed to see that Fang Lin couldn't afford it, impatiently waving his hand to shoo him away. But with the various security measures in the Dreamspace, Fang Lin also put down a lot of his guard, smiled slightly, and took out the silver plot weapon Scourge's Fury.

  This man had just muttered a few words of nonsense, but seeing the faint silver glow flashing on Skorne's angry face, he immediately changed his expression and took it out to play with. It was not just an attack that was tolerable, but the special attribute was indeed exciting, and he immediately called someone over.

  The two of them were muttering to each other, and Fang Lin was very curious about what they were saying. Suddenly, his chest felt a surge of heat, and the ferocious eyes from his nightmare memory suddenly emitted a faint crimson glow. The conversation between the two people, who had intentionally lowered their voices, was transmitted into his ears without missing a single word.

  "Green, this thing's attack power may be a bit low, but if you spend some money to upgrade it in the opponent's forging room, it won't be a loss. Besides, when upgrading weapons to level 6 and above, the chance of explosion is very small."

  "Mike is right, I heard that group of Americans spend points and items to enter the Round Table Warriors world every month just to brush up on this axe, in preparation for passing that one level with an extremely high mortality rate."

  "This rookie is lucky to have gotten it, I don't know how he managed."

  They didn't know that this thing was obtained by Fang Lin when he completed the hidden task of killing Skorne alone. Because, on the one hand, hidden tasks have a bonus to drop rates, and on the other hand, Fang Lin was entering the Dream World for the first time. So the reward that dropped out was extremely good.

  Fang Lin, however, obtained several extremely useful pieces of information from the conversation between these two people: First, equipment can be upgraded and strengthened through tempering in the dreamspace's forge. Second, every month, he could spend points to explore a designated world. Third, this axe technique seemed suitable for an extremely difficult scenario that most people had to experience. Fourth, he could now boldly open his mouth to extort money.

  ………………….

  Green again consulted with Mark for a while, and then strolled over slowly, saying proudly:

  "This axe is pretty good, but I'm still a bit short on this skill scroll, add some points and it's yours."

  Fang Lin muttered a soft "oh" and took the axe, turning to leave. Ge Lin thought he was just going to haggle over the price, but didn't expect this outcome. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Fang Lin walk up to the Englishman's plot of land. The Englishman's eyes nearly popped out as he received the axe, and Ge Lin realized he had lost his chance. He hastily rushed over to grab Fang Lin, saying:

  "Hey, let's talk it over."

  Fang Lin didn't really want to leave, he was actually very interested in that book. The basic step method determined the speed of movement, which would be very helpful to him and could also save two precious potential points. Moreover, so far, he had already strolled through half of the market, but still hadn't found a similar scroll, while the two people in front of him must have practiced the basic step method for several levels, so this thing was useless.

  He deliberately brought out Skorne's anger, causing a faint silver glow to flash on top of it, and said slowly:

  "Never mind, your scrolls are too expensive, I won't exchange them. I'll just go somewhere else to take a look."

  Green Great Road

  "It's fine if it's a bit cheaper. In that case, I won't ask for more money either. Let's just exchange the skill scroll for the long axe then!"

  Fang Lin suddenly sighed and said:

  "I've actually learned 2 and basic step methods, this thing is of little use to me."

  Just as Green was about to speak, Mark said with a gloomy face:

  "Just name your price and be straightforward about it."

  Fang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled, saying:

  "I don't even know what they have, how can they quote such a price."

  Mark was very straightforward, pulling Fang Lin to one side and taking out all the items he could exchange. However, most of them were blue equipment, and the only golden item was a ring called "Jackal's Ring" with properties: Agility +3, Vitality +4, Spell Consumption -1.

  He subtly shook his head, knowing that his mental strength was far superior to others. He intentionally sought to exchange for skills or equipment that required high mental strength to cultivate. However, such equipment and skills seemed extremely rare. The attribute on the golden ring, "Spellcasting Cost -1", was also very precious, meaning that casting a skill originally requiring 2 points of mental strength now only needed 1 point. Unfortunately, the ring specifically noted: "If the skill only consumes 1 point of mental strength, then it is not affected by this ring."

  He thought for a moment and threw out an astronomical price:

  "Bring me the ring and that skill book in exchange for my axe."

  Upon hearing this sentence, Mark jumped up like a monkey that had been poked in the sore spot, his eyes blazing red as he gritted his teeth and said:

  "This Ge Langtai! Don't even think about it!"

  Fang Lin helplessly spread out his hands and let out a sigh, then turned around and left. He had read a lot of books on the art of doing business, so he naturally knew how to get the most value for the least cost. He continued to wander through the stalls, searching for what he hoped to find, until he reached the end, but Fang Lin was not disappointed, instead he quickly pulled out the menu that could only be viewed in his dream space and carefully searched it, a faint smile on his face as he confirmed one thing, and then started setting up his own stall.

  "What he's selling is the black wheat biscuits that he brought back from the Round Table Knights' world! These are made from low-quality black wheat bread that can't be carried, one loaf can be cut into three pieces. Although they consume a lot, the drop rate of this low-quality black wheat bread is also quite high, so he still has over thirty pieces left."

  And a piece of black wheat toast, Fang Lin sells for 100 points! He dares to sell it so expensively because the reason is very simple. The medicine that can be used to heal wounds during battles in the Dreammare Space is extremely expensive. Even if it only restores 100 health points, it costs 800 points, and after taking it, there is a cooldown time of up to half an hour!

  Someone quickly walked over, picked up what he was selling: Black Wheat Biscuit (Ordinary), Category: Food, Portable, Effect: Restores 15 physical strength. After taking a look, they didn't even haggle and bought it directly.

  Not long after, someone else wanted to sweep away the last five black wheat pastries in front of Fang Lin. Who knew that two burly figures squeezed over, Mark was very annoyed and said gruffly:

  "Add ten bucks for this pastry, and take the ring and book."

  Fang Lin smiled slightly and handed out the Scorn of Anger:

  "Deal."

  He felt he had gotten a great deal, so he traded the remaining twenty black wheat pastries to the surname Su. Mark's face slightly improved, and with a heavy hand, he slapped the ring and sheepskin scroll over, transferring ownership. Fang Lin smiled, turned around and walked away, and casually equipped the golden wolf ring on his hand.

  He had already realized that he couldn't find anything good, so he returned to his private space and spent 2000 points to learn the basic footwork of Live3. He immediately felt much lighter all over, and even his movement speed increased by about a third. At this time, he also received a prompt: Basic skill upgrades are divided into stages of three levels, with 1-3 requiring only one point of potential energy, 3-6 requiring two points for each upgrade, and six or more requiring three points for each skill upgrade. Having read through it all, Fang Lin felt quite mentally exhausted and fell asleep on the spot.
