Ever since Lin Sanjiu entered the Starry Carnival Amusement Park, this was the first time she felt so gloomy at the end of a ride.
"You did a good job," Mickey Mouse said, his eyes narrowing into vertical lines as he held the gold ring tightly in his hand. "... To be honest, I thought it would take you a longer time to find the ring."
"Hmm," Lin Sanjiu replied. Her face was so gloomy that there wasn't even a hint of a smile on it. It had been thirty minutes since she had knocked Minnie down, but the pain in her heart had not lessened. It was like a blunt knife cutting through her flesh, reminding her of her losses. When she caught Minnie, she was so angry that she tore off her clothes and searched her from head to toe. However, Minnie Mouse's character setting was obviously poor. She didn't find anything valuable on her.
Mickey Mouse was obviously unaware of what had happened to his girlfriend. He happily said, "Wait for me for a few minutes, I heard that Mr. Scrooge gave you something, let me confirm it." He then turned around and entered the house, closing the door with a "dang" sound.
When Lin Sanjiu heard that, her face finally regained some vitality.
Yes, with Scrooge McDuck's gift, at the very least, I should be able to make up for my losses … As she thought about it, she checked the status of her items and abilities.
Ever since Scrooge McDuck was transferred to Lin Sanjiu, Lin Sanjiu had become a Scrooge.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know when the [Power] had changed. It was not the same as before. As a Special Resource, it seemed that when a posthuman mastered the Evolved Ability, it would make adjustments according to its owner's condition. Even though this was just Lin Sanjiu's conjecture, Lin Sanjiu felt that it wasn't far from the truth.
[Scrooge
Power]
Extreme wealth and supreme power. When a person had these two things, he could be considered as having no … Oh, but Lin Sanjiu did not have any of these abilities. She was so poor that it was unbearable to look at her.
Of course, when the ability user accumulates a huge amount of wealth one day. Or when he climbed to the pinnacle of power, he would naturally be able to display the greatest effect of this ability. However, before that, it was not impossible to use this ability to achieve his goals. However, compared to his peak state, the effect he could achieve was not much. Furthermore, it was also greatly restricted.
From now on, please work hard to pursue fame and fortune!
Effect 1: When Lin Sanjiu engages in economic activities, she will receive a certain degree of preferential treatment due to the existence of this ability.
The so-called "big customers bullying the shop" and "big shops bullying the customers" were nothing more than a game of capital power between the two parties. The party with more power naturally had a greater say in economic activities. Even though Lin Sanjiu was poor and powerless now, she still had her own plans. But [Scrooge
Effect 1 of Power could provide her with a special disguise, causing others to mistakenly think that she was "very rich". After affecting the psychology of others, she would be able to obtain as many benefits as possible.
Note: In an apocalyptic world, economic activities include but are not limited to commercial transactions. All activities that involve an exchange, no matter what it is, will be affected by this effect.
Currently activated Effect 2: Additional benefits of networking and social circle.
Everyone who held financial power would not be lonely. They would also be in a certain circle and have rich connections. Under the influence of this effect, Lin Sanjiu might not be able to make any good friends. However, people who could benefit from this effect would have a higher chance of forming a friendly relationship with Lin Sanjiu.
Currently activated Effect 3: Money makes the world go round. It all depends on whether you can afford it.
"Everyone has a price. There is no such thing as a truly loyal and unyielding person in this world —" The famous economist Walter Shud once said. This ability could actually list everything around her into the list of "tradable objects". However, Lin Sanjiu was still poor and had no power. Currently, she could only trade with living creatures.
After finding a living creature that she wanted to trade with, she only needed to request [Scrooge
Power] to make a request and get a price. As long as the price was paid, the living creature would act according to the user's request.
Note: 1. The user's request cannot result in the death of the living creature.
2。 The asking price of the living creature is based on its intelligence level and the difficulty of the task. The lower the intelligence and difficulty, the lower the price.
3. You can trade with more than one living creature at a time. As long as you can afford it.
4. There are no restrictions on the types of currency. In a place with a monetary system, the local currency would be the standard. However, in a destroyed apocalyptic world or a place without any currency, the price would be calculated using the "local hard currency". For example, gold, clean water, and so on. Food, Special Items, survival necessities, and so on.
5. You can take a loan. The interest is calculated at 0.05% per day. In other words, if the target creature asked for 5 dollars, and the user only had 3 dollars on him, then the remaining 2 dollars could be owed and returned later. However, every day that passed, the total amount that needed to be returned would be increased by 20 × 5%.
6. Of course, she could also use assets to repay the debt. The assets could be redeemed within 196 working days after they were taken away. Once the deadline was exceeded, they would disappear forever.
It was this last point that caused Lin Sanjiu to bleed profusely.
After she bought the poisoned apple, her Stamina Points were almost depleted. Even though she didn't know the approximate number, she guessed that she only had about 10 Stamina Points left. To make a small forest fall down to block people for her, the asking price was astronomical. It required 800 Stamina Points.
Since she had to pay 10 Stamina Points per night in Starry Carnival Amusement Park, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to "take a loan". She gritted her teeth and hardened her heart. In the end, she chose to use assets to repay the debt.
As it was her first time using this ability, she didn't know how many trees she had to "bribe".
Following Lin Sanjiu's request, he continued to smash the tree until he could stop Minnie or until Lin Sanjiu couldn't take it any longer and asked him to stop. After that, [Scrooge]
[Scrooge, McDuck] would use assets to repay the debt according to the scale of the operation.
So, when Minnie dodged the falling trees again and again, Lin Sanjiu was on the verge of tears.
Every tree that she dodged was bought with her own money!
After Lin Sanjiu tied the naked Minnie to the tree and helped the fallen trees back according to their agreement, Lin Sanjiu felt a little exasperated. She realized that three cards were missing from the card bank that she used to store her Special Items. They were [Another Card], [Another Card].
Mermaid Cultivation Fluid], [Bone-melting Hairdryer], and [Ability Polishing Agent].
Judging from the total price, All three Special Items should be quite valuable.
"What kind of lousy ability is this? There are too many restrictions," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help cursing under her breath, "Isn't this the same as carrying a bank on my back? It's the end of the world. I can't believe I still have the pressure to repay the loan. It doesn't make any sense … "
Before she could finish her grumbling, she saw the doorknob of Mickey's room turn. She immediately swallowed the rest of her complaints.
A pair of round black ears peeked out from the gap of the door, followed by Mickey's perpetually happy face.
"Congratulations. You have completed the Experiential Tour! I have confirmed it just now. Mr. Scrooge did give you some Stamina Points … Hmm, including the 5 points you got from the first round and the 5 points you got from Snow White, you now have a total of 12 Stamina Points. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at him without any expression. After a second, she dug her ear.
"How much did you say I got?"
"12 Stamina Points."
Lin Sanjiu thought she must be deaf. "How many Stamina Points did Scrooge McDuck give me?"
"Two o 'clock," Mitch said with a smile. "It's two o' clock. He was crying on the phone just now."
Lin Sanjiu jumped up. When she forced Scrooge McDuck to split his Stamina Points with her, she was too embarrassed to give him an exact number. Indeed, she was too embarrassed to state an exact number. However, with Scrooge McDuck's wealth, which she couldn't even recite in her head, she did not expect that he would only give her two points. It was even less than what Snow White gave her!
However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't get even with that duck now. Seeing that Mickey had already closed the door and was about to lead her out, Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to swallow her anger. She cursed the duck over and over again in her heart.
The journey out was much shorter than when she came in. Lin Sanjiu reached the exit in just a few steps.
Mickey eagerly opened the door for Lin Sanjiu. Just as Lin Sanjiu took a step forward, Mickey suddenly chuckled, "You seem to be lacking in Stamina Points?"
Lin Sanjiu whipped her head around.
"I heard that you have a piece of poisoned apple?" Mickey's smile froze on his face. Only his eyes were looking at her. "I am willing to buy it for 20 Stamina Points."
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, a piece of apple appeared in her hand, but she didn't hand it over.
"What do you want this for?" Lin Sanjiu asked suspiciously.
Mickey tilted his head, "Have you ever wondered why Minnie would make an apple pie for you? It's because she loves eating apple pie. How about 20 Stamina Points? Are you selling it? "
Lin Sanjiu shuddered and threw the apple into Mickey's hand.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't be bothered to care about the relationship between the two mice. After she received her Stamina Points, she stepped out of Cartoon World Experience and realized that the sky was already bright outside.
Judging from the sun, it should be around eight or nine in the morning. The cat doctor and his team were no longer at their original position. Lin Sanjiu looked around. She found the tip of a tail behind a boulder.
"That's right. Their original position is at the entrance of the experience hall. It's too eye-catching. It's better to move them …" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself as she walked behind the boulder.
Before she could get close, a face suddenly popped out from behind the boulder. A layer of faint gold dust flashed under the sunlight. Then, the cat doctor exclaimed, "Huh? She's back? "Lin Sanjiu heard the cat doctor's voice.
Lin Sanjiu took a few steps forward and walked around the boulder. She couldn't help smiling.
"I'm back," Lin Sanjiu said as she rubbed Meowie Hu's head. The little cat squinted his eyes in displeasure. Then, she looked around and saw that AYU was sitting quietly at the side. Her gaze then fell on Puppeteer.
His face was still as pale as ever, and Lin Sanjiu could not tell if this was his normal appearance or if he had not fully recovered from his injuries. His wet, black hair rested on Puppeteer's thin shoulders, and it was still dripping with water. Finally, he opened his eyes. There was a layer of faint gold dust around his eyes. Puppeteer glanced at Lin Sanjiu expressionlessly. Then, he held his wrist.
"You're awake? Are you alright? "
Lin Sanjiu greeted him politely. It took a lot of effort for her not to laugh in front of Puppeteer. The cat doctor had taken the initiative to operate on Puppeteer when he was unconscious. When he stitched up the wound, he even thoughtfully tied a bowknot for Puppeteer. Right now, Puppeteer was pressing the bowknot under his palm.
Puppeteer's face was gloomy. He didn't seem to be happy that his life had been saved. However, to Lin Sanjiu's surprise, he took the initiative to speak after a short pause.
"Did you pass the first round?"
"Ah, yes," Lin Sanjiu sighed, "It was a big loss."
"The next round is the real show," Puppeteer said mockingly. "No matter what you did in the first round, it will be magnified ten times in the second round. Just wait and see." Puppeteer chuckled mockingly.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered that Puppeteer had entered the experience hall once. She didn't care if he was still weak or not. She quickly sat down and asked, "Oh yeah, you came out after you finished the second round, right?"
Puppeteer snorted. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what he meant. Pointing at the cat beside her, Lin Sanjiu continued, "Meowie Hu and this thing, now that we have the player number, we have to enter the game if we want to move forward … Do you have any good ideas? How confident are they in clearing the game after they enter the game? "
Puppeteer lifted his eyelids and glanced at the cat doctor and AYU.
Even though Meowie Hu had saved his life, he did not seem to appreciate it at all. As his injuries gradually recovered, the influence of the cat doctor on him disappeared as well. "It doesn't matter if they leave on their own or if they follow you into the cave, they will still die."
Lin Sanjiu's face turned pale. She was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Even though the cat doctor could leave the amusement park first, it wasn't easy for them to meet him. Moreover, most of the people in the amusement park were from Progressor Alliance. No one knew if there would be any more twists and turns after this separation. It would be best if they could walk to the end together, but …
"I have an idea," Puppeteer said as he leaned against a rock, "It depends on whether you trust me or not."
"What is it?"
"I just need to turn a part of their body into a puppet. Then, they can follow me through the game as a puppet. I can also cancel it afterward. " Puppeteer looked at the sky. The mocking smile on his face grew wider, "What do you think? Are you willing? "(To be continued.)
