“No laughing!”
Ye Feng didn’t react much, but Xiao Xiao, huffing indignantly, shouted at the adventurers.
“Uh… Xiao Xiao, you don’t need to pay attention to them~”
Ye Feng obviously didn’t care at all.
Although those people were burly, carrying various weapons like swords and knives, several of them even had handguns.
To ordinary people, they might seem powerful and intimidating, but to Ye Feng, they were just so-so…
He couldn’t be bothered with them. His attention was currently on the weapon sales area, or more accurately, a peculiar instrument in the weapon sales area.
After asking about the Creation Lamp and receiving strange news, Ye Feng turned and strode towards the weapon sales area, with Xiao Xiao following close behind.
“Young man, what weapon do you want to buy?”
“I have excellent crossbows, sharpened cleavers, meteor hammers, double-headed axes…”
Seeing Ye Feng arrive, the middle-aged man in the weapon sales area immediately introduced himself enthusiastically.
Although Ye Feng’s inquiry about the Creation Lamp seemed like a rookie mistake, and he would likely become cannon fodder for novice adventurers soon, business was business, and he wouldn’t turn away a customer…
“Hmm… what is this thing?”
Ye Feng briefly scanned the various weapons in the sales area, finally pointing to a rather complex-looking device with a groove on the counter and asked.
“Pfft!~”
“Hahaha~”
…
The adventurers in the lounge area of the Adventurer’s Guild, who had stopped laughing, burst into laughter again upon seeing this.
One of them even sprayed out the rum he had just drunk, coughing uncontrollably!~
The middle-aged man in the weapon sales area also looked at Ye Feng with a strange expression.
“Young man, this device is for making payments, not for selling weapons~”
The middle-aged man in the weapon sales area was momentarily stunned, then explained to Ye Feng.
“Uncle Hui, let me handle this~”
At this moment, the young woman named Ling walked over.
“Alright, Miss Ling~!”
The middle-aged man nodded and walked to the mission counter.
“Adventurer, is this your first time out on an adventure?”
Although Ling had realized Ye Feng was a novice before, Ye Feng’s level of ignorance still surprised her.
“First time… I suppose~”
After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng nodded.
“Then what about your escort?”
Ling continued.
“Escort? What escort, I don’t have an escort~”
Ye Feng was a bit puzzled, what was Ling talking about?
“You don’t have an escort?”
Ling was very confused. She had previously inferred from Ye Feng’s attire and Xiao Xiao accompanying him that he was no ordinary person, likely a young master from a large human survivor base.
And the kind who was overly protected and didn’t understand the outside world…
But Ye Feng’s answer shook Ling’s previous assumptions…
“Mm!~”
Ye Feng nodded. “Can this device extract arcane energy?”
Ye Feng had seen someone purchase something here earlier and use survival coins for payment, which sparked a guess.
“Uh… it indeed can. Some high-value weapons can only be settled with arcane yuan coins~”
“And this machine is the arcane yuan coin settlement device~”
“It can extract arcane energy from arcane yuan coins and make the corresponding settlement…”
Ling looked at Ye Feng with surprise, not expecting that the “super novice” Ye Feng would know this.
“High-value weapons? Only payable with arcane yuan coins?”
Ye Feng quickly picked up on the key information in Ling’s words.
“Yes~”
“Arcane energy, when combined with certain components in a specific way, can be used to craft powerful firearms, bombs, and the like, which are basically single-use consumables~”
“Look over here~”
Saying that, Ling walked to a spot on the shelf behind her and took out a ball about the size of a ping-pong ball. “This is an arcane bomb, it has immense power and can cause strong damage to monsters. This can generally only be settled with arcane yuan coins~”
“Because arcane energy is difficult to obtain, and the number of people who can create weapons from it is very small, weapons made from arcane energy are naturally more expensive~”
“One arcane bomb costs 20 arcane yuan coins~”
Ling added at the end.
“20 arcane yuan coins?”
Ye Feng frowned slightly. “Then give me two~”
After speaking, Ye Feng reached into his backpack. A flash of light appeared in his hand as he took out the survival coin given by the system.
He remembered that after purchasing supplies from the [Shop] today, he had 40 survival coins left, so he wanted to verify his guess.
Whether the 1500 survival coins refreshed daily by the system were due to stored arcane energy.
“Uh, okay~”
Seeing the round metal object in Ye Feng’s hand, Ling was slightly taken aback, then quickly reacted.
She took two arcane bombs from the shelf, placed them on the counter, took Ye Feng’s survival coin, inserted it into the groove of the arcane energy extractor, and entered the numbers on the interface.
“Zzzzt~”
A sound of current electricity instantly rang out, and Ye Feng’s survival coin popped out of the groove.
“Settlement complete. Two arcane bombs, a total of 40 arcane yuan coins~”
Saying that, Ling handed the arcane bombs and the round metal to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng quickly took them and checked the physical survival coin in his hand. The number 40 on it had become 0.
Immediately, his consciousness entered his mind, and he checked the upper left corner of the [Shop]. He found that the amount of survival coins had changed from 40 to 0.
“It really is like this~”
Ye Feng was very happy to have verified his guess.
Then, he examined the two arcane bombs. He found that they resembled hand grenades, with a metallic texture on the outside, and a strange pattern drawn on the surface, with a fire shape in the middle of the pattern.
“Adventurer, if you need to use an arcane bomb, you just need to pull off this small string and then throw it~”
“It will explode in about 3 seconds~”
At this moment, Ling’s voice sounded again.
Ye Feng looked in the direction Ling was pointing and saw a small hemp string spanning the entire sphere. Pulling the string would disrupt the pattern.
“Does the detonation of the arcane bomb have anything to do with the integrity of this pattern?!”
Ye Feng quickly formed a guess in his mind.
At this moment, the previously noisy lounge area of the Adventurer’s Guild hall suddenly fell silent.
The adventurers who had been mocking Ye Feng were now looking at him with disbelief. The adventurer they thought was a fool actually possessed arcane yuan coins, something so rare?!
“Right, can you post mission requests here?”
At this moment, Ye Feng spoke again.
“Yes~ Do you want to post a mission request?”
Ling immediately understood and nodded.
“Mm~!”
“I want to post a request. The content is: anyone who can find a complete survival coin, oh, which is an arcane yuan coin, I will exchange it with them at double the amount. The time… will be until noon tomorrow~”
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng spoke.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the entire hall of the Adventurer’s Guild instantly became extremely quiet, so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
