Chapter Twenty: Sunset Courtyard
At the entrance of the Luoyang Courtyard.
Li Ji was studying the four random collectibles that Kannot had given him, as well as the rusted hammer, with Raven.
Putting everything else aside, this is the first time Li Ji has been so rich on the first floor. He not only has a huge sum of 350 Origin Stone Ingots, but also five suddenly added collectibles.
Now, besides the rusty iron hammer, the four randomly generated collectibles in his possession are:
[Solo Music Box] (Hope +4, Deployment +1)
[Leytania Medal of Honor] (Command Experience +30%)
[HR Department Confidential Message] (Recruiting Six-Star Hopes - 2)
【“Unrestrained”】(Each time an enemy enters the protected target point, immediately deal 3000 points of true damage to all enemies on the field.)
You wouldn't say how amazing these four items are.
Since the first three items are all developmental collectibles, the effect of "excessive" output is almost negligible.
After all, there are almost no levels in the early stages where Li Ji can let monsters slip through, so this thing definitely can't deal any damage.
There wasn't a single versatile collectible like an old palm-leaf fan, a "silence" charm, a "great tranquility" charm, or a "three-attack speed" charm.
but.
Li Ji's initial random negative collectible was a partially washed, isolated diamond.
So these developmental collectibles aren't actually a bad deal; at least compared to some junk, they're not bad at all.
Especially the collection that increases command experience points and adds hope.
Not to mention the HR department's secret letter that still had two points of hope left in recruiting six-star personnel.
"This is good stuff. With this command experience bonus, the effectiveness of Half-Washed Lone Diamond is slightly reduced. This secret letter from the personnel department is also good, and this..."
As a local, Raven's understanding of the collection is that each piece is new and interesting to him.
For her, 80% of the collection's effects were new and exciting.
Under her expectant gaze, Li Ji first tossed the collection in his hand to Raven, who then excitedly began to study it.
"Don't rush, we haven't bought anything from the store yet. Maybe there are some good things there."
After clearing out his collection, Li Ji turned around and began selecting items from the Kannot store.
He's quite the nouveau riche now.
Possessing 350 Originium Ingots.
This is the first time in his two lifetimes that he's ever had such a satisfying time playing a roguelike game. If he could farm an attack speed collectible, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?
"Let's see what's been painted in the store first... I hope it's not something that causes cardiac arrest."
Li Ji rubbed his hands together. If it weren't for the fact that there was no pool here, he would have liked to wash his face.
Unlike other roguelike games, Phantom Rogue's shop cannot be raided or refreshed.
If you actually get some junk data, there's really nothing you can do about it.
As he spoke, Li Ji greeted Cannot.
The other party also opened their cloak, displaying all the goods hanging inside.
Under the influence of the [Rusty Hammer], all the goods in the shop were priced at half the original price.
[Support Rumble] - 4 Originium Bars
[Pioneer Recruitment Ticket] - 2 Originium Bars
[Canned Green Vegetables] (Attack power +60% for 1 second after all Operator skills are triggered) - 6 Originium Bars
【"Whispers of the Night"】(-10% HP of all enemies) -4 Originium Bars
[Victoria "Scrap Metal" Medal] (Gain Command Experience +20%) - 4 Originium Ingots
[Pillar - Secondary Battlefield] (All Support Operators' summoned creatures gain +50% attack) - 4 Originium Ingots
[Broken Halberd - Bloodbath] (Guard's normal attack grants an additional 2 SP) - 6 Originium Bars
"It's alright, not good, not bad."
Li Ji looked at the goods in the store and said with a pursed lip.
His main source of damage is now the command, and the [Pillar - Secondary Battlefield] skill is perfect for that.
The +20% provided by the Scrap Iron Medal, along with the other +30% from the collection, directly negates the -50% command experience value effect of the Half-Washed Solitary Diamond!
The remaining canned green vegetables and the Broken Halberd in Blood can also be used to help Li Ji quickly gain some combat power after reaching the Elite 2 stage of Chongyue.
While not as valuable as collectibles like the Cup of Gin, the refreshed collectibles are still reasonably decent.
but……
"Huh? This isn't enough!"
Seeing the collection that Cannot was selling, Raven patted Li Ji on the back several times with delight. "Isn't this collection amazing? The half-washed solitary diamond has had its most fatal effect ruined. You're so ungrateful!"
[Let's do a quick round and ruin the half-washed lone diamond for everyone.]
[You mean it's on from start to finish? It doesn't count as being on if it's not turned off?]
[My mouth is watering at the sight of so many items.]
[But what's the point of bringing out this command experience stuff? What use is it in real life...? Does it really increase a commander's intelligence by 50% every game?]
[So, if the collection cures my intellectual disability, wouldn't that infringe on my right to choose to be intellectually disabled?]
[You're unbelievable. I suggest you go ask someone on the "Idiots' Forum".]
But seeing the raven and the barrage of comments looking like they'd never seen anything like it, Li Ji rolled his eyes.
I thought to myself, what's so exciting about this little thing?
If we're going to farm an attack speed item later, won't you all have to be at high level?
If he were to actually get a triple attack speed bonus with this Originium Ingot deposit... even if he were in his previous life, he wouldn't want to let anyone else play this game even if they spent 500 RMB on him.
But no matter how much you think about it, it's still just a thought.
After all, a satisfying game with three attack speeds is quite rare, and it's really difficult to achieve.
"Let's take them all!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Ji bought out all the shops in Kannot, including Mr. Rumble.
Although there's not much use for this in Phantom Rogue, he's a wealthy man now, so why would he care about a mere four Originium Ingots?
buy!
"Exchange the Pioneer Coupon for Wanqing; there's still hope."
As he spoke, Li Ji used the Vanguard Ticket in his hand.
A young man with short, gray hair emerged from the road shrouded in mist.
Five-star flag bearers, vast expanse.
He is also the only vanguard on Rhodes Island whose birthplace is Yan.
Although both are five-star flag bearers and have similar DP recovery efficiency to Exusiai, Exusiai's talent increases maximum HP and she was released later, so her versatility and usage rate cannot yet be compared with Exusiai, who has been available for quite some time.
"Dr. Wanfeng is truly generous!"
Kannot handed over all the items under his cloak to Li Ji, then took out a small brass key from his pocket and opened the door behind him. "The Sunset Courtyard is now open. I wish you a safe journey."
As he spoke, Kannot disappeared, as if he had never been there at all.
As Kannot disappeared, the iron gate of Luoyang Courtyard slowly opened, and the mist once again shrouded Li Ji and the others, obscuring their vision.
……
The hands of the clock were once again moved to 19:24, and the blood-red text on the clock was now covered in blood.
In just a moment, new text reappeared above the clock.
The setting sun cast its last rays across the courtyard, but those were not the colors of hope. Please come in, please come in, lost guest, the castle welcomes you.
"Luoyang Courtyard...it seems so much larger than what was shown in the report?"
Raven gazed at the ancient castle shrouded in mist in the distance, then took out the intelligence report and asked Li Ji with a puzzled look, "I have a feeling that something's wrong with my head, or am I just being too sensitive?"
Li Ji merely raised an eyebrow and looked at the words on the clock.
[Confused]: The map on this floor has been expanded.
[Sensitive]: The loss and gain of target life in this layer are greatly increased.
Could it be that the raven cannot see these words... but will actually manifest them?
