Civilization Paradise

Chapter 22 Stud
"You should directly click on the mall's recycling section and sell it directly to the mall."

"Ah, then why do so many people still consign their items?"

"That's because the recycling price offered by the mall is too low, and some people are unwilling to accept it."

"How much can I sell my jewelry for?"

"It depends on the grade and color. The artworks and materials here are graded into white, blue, purple, red, orange, and gold. The higher the grade, the higher the recycling price. Equipment doesn't have grades, but it can be recycled to the store. However, normal people wouldn't do that, since equipment can be traded."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Long Ming found the recycling interface in the store.

Gold Dog Head (White): 300 One-Dimensional Coins
A rough necklace (white) containing 200 one-dimensional coins.
Unidentified Ring (Blue): 7600 One-Dimensional Coins
Golden Short Staff (Purple): 100000 One-Dimensional Coins
Long Ming frowned as he looked at the offered recycling price. It was indeed cheap enough; no wonder so many people were reluctant to recycle their items in the mall.

However, that player was right; these artworks and similar items are of no use to players at all.

Since no one is willing to buy it yet, Long Ming decided to recycle it, and a notification popped up on the bracelet.

"Notification: You have received 108100 One-Dimensional Coins."

After selling his goods, Long Ming turned around and looked around. There must be someone nearby buying back currency.

Sure enough, he soon found several players holding up signs offering high prices for One-Dimensional Coins. One of them, a male player with dyed yellow hair and wearing a leather jacket, was offering Mountain Coins for buyback.

Long Ming then walked over and asked.

"Excuse me, how much do you charge for recycling?"

The player glanced at Long Ming, yawned, and held up one finger.

"100 One-Dimensional Coins can be exchanged for 1 Mountain Coin. For larger quantities, the exchange rate can be slightly higher."

Upon hearing the exchange rate, Long Ming's heart sank to the bottom.

"This price is way too low!"

"Don't think it's too low. This is the market rate right now. Go ask around if you don't believe me."

"it is good."

Long Ming didn't say much, but silently walked to the side.

He currently has 108600 One-Dimensional Coins, which is equivalent to 1086 yuan.

If we don't count the equipment, that means I earned 1,000 yuan in two days.

To be honest, although this income seems pretty good, it's only for ordinary people. For Long Ming, it's still not ideal.

Because the income from the game is very unstable, you won't always be lucky enough to find valuable items and escape safely.

In addition, this time Gu Yi and his group didn't want the items, which is why they had such a high income.

However, my expenses still can't be reduced at all.

Thinking of this, Long Ming sighed with some melancholy.

He originally hoped to change his life through this game, but he didn't expect the road to be so difficult.

For a moment, Long Ming also lost some confidence.

Just then, an excited shout came from afar.

"Haha, it's sold!"

"I've got 500,000 One-Dimensional Coins!"

Hearing their excited shouts, Long Ming walked over out of curiosity.

A group of players surrounded one player and praised him.

"As expected of Brother Cui!"

"That's awesome!"

"Take us with you and let us get rich!"

"Easy to say!"

Brother Cui replied in a very good mood.

Long Ming asked a player next to him who was extremely envious, out of curiosity.

"Hey bro, what did that Brother Cui sell for such a high price?"

"Just pure luck. I got my hands on an old-fashioned submachine gun and sold it to a rich guy."

"That player said with a hint of jealousy."

"Why is an old-fashioned submachine gun so expensive?"

"What's so surprising? Weapons are so expensive, and you might not even be able to buy them even if you want to."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Long Ming excitedly expressed his gratitude.

My gloomy mood vanished instantly. An old-fashioned submachine gun sold for 500,000 1D coins, so the M24 I picked up must be worth at least a million, right? This game is really crazy.

Thinking of this, Long Ming prepared to open the store and list the M24, but in the end he hesitated.

Selling it now would certainly make a fortune, but doing so would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; you'd then have no equipment left. Your hard-earned advantage would vanish, and you'd likely fall behind others in the rest of the game.

Long Ming stood there for more than ten minutes, and finally his eyes became very firm.

He decided to give up selling equipment. Since the game offered high-profit opportunities, he might as well give it a shot and maybe he could create a new life for himself.

Long Ming then opened the shop to purchase some supplies for the next dungeon.

He typed "bullet" into the search box.

Swish!
All the consigned bullets were laid out in a row.

Long Ming then searched for suitable 12-gauge shotgun shells for the Golden Double-Barreled Short Gun.

Unfortunately, he searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Although there are quite a few bullets available for consignment, the models are not complete; there are no 12-gauge shotgun shells among them.

However, Long Ming found 7.62mm bullets for the M24 inside, but the listed price made him gasp.

Each bullet is priced at 5000 One-Dimensional Coins.

He then checked the price of a regular axe and found that even an axe, which could be found everywhere, cost 3000 One-Dimensional Coins.

Just as that player said, only useful things like equipment are valuable.

Long Ming took a deep breath and then searched for food, water and other supplies.

Compressed biscuits: 1000 one-dimensional coins.

Mineral water: 1000 1D coins.

Military-grade canned beef: 5000 1D coins.

Medical kit: 50,000 1D coins
A moment later, Long Ming finished checking all the items that needed to be purchased, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Essential goods are indeed expensive, but the problem is that we can't not buy them.

However, at this moment, Long Ming noticed that some of the consigned items had special notes on them.

"Offline currency transactions are accepted!"

Long Ming immediately understood: the production of game currency was still limited, and most people chose to pay offline.

However, using mountain coins to buy things is useless to Long Ming; it's already good enough that he doesn't convert his game assets into real money.

Long Ming pondered for a moment, then began making purchases.

buzz~
The bracelet kept popping up notifications.

"Notice: You have spent 10 One Dimensional Coins to purchase 20 bullets, which have been automatically stored in your inventory."

"Notice: You have spent 5000 One Dimension Coins to purchase 5 packs of compressed biscuits, which have been automatically stored in your warehouse."

"Notice: You have spent 3000 One Dimension Coins to purchase 3 bottles of mineral water, which have been automatically stored in your warehouse."

Long Ming felt a pang of heartache seeing that he only had 600 One-Dimensional Coins left, but there was nothing he could do, as these were all necessities.

He raised his hand to open the warehouse and stored the golden double-barreled pistol inside. Since there were no corresponding bullets, there was no point in bringing it in, and it would be a huge loss if it were lost. Therefore, it was better to store it in the warehouse.

Then Long Ming packed all the things he had bought into his backpack.

He quickly got everything sorted out and then took out the invitation letter he had obtained from the supply depot.

This invitation is more exquisite and high-end in appearance compared to the Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Ticket.

Long Ming scanned the invitation with his bracelet, and the corresponding information immediately appeared.

Invitation to Anfa Civilization

Civilization level: Level 1.

Note: Using this civilization's invitation letter will allow you to travel to the Anfa civilization.

Long Ming looked at the information and pondered to himself. If he was not mistaken, although this invitation was also for a Level 1 civilization, it was probably of a higher level than the random one.

Therefore, he plans to use this invitation for the second copy.

At this point, a prompt appears on the wristband interface.

"Activate the invitation to Anfa Civilization?"

Long Ming looked at the prompt that popped up on the bracelet. He was about to click "yes" when he suddenly stopped and selected "no".

The main reason Long Ming refused to enter was because he was thinking of one thing.

During this exploration of the Wabiga civilization, he almost made a mistake due to time constraints, and it would be foolish to repeat the same mistake a second time.

Moreover, this time they are using a more valuable invitation, so the longer they stay, the better.

Therefore, you cannot use a helmet to play the game; it is best to switch to a gaming pod to maximize your benefits.

Long Ming was also a little troubled by this. He had already gone through a lot of trouble to make the helmet, let alone the gaming pod.

However, Long Ming quickly came up with a way that might actually work, and he immediately clicked on the bracelet to log out of the game.
