"So it's a newcomer …"
Just now, the old man was so focused on showing off that he didn't notice that Zuo Yi was accompanied by the Butterfly Fairy. As a result, he failed to show off and embarrassed himself.
Any newcomer who logged into the network for the first time could be guided by the assistant Little Fairy to familiarize themselves with this virtual world.
However, the Meng Fei's accompanying time was only 72 hours. After that, it would no longer appear.
Therefore, as long as someone was accompanied by the Butterfly Fairy, that person must be a newcomer. The Little Fairy could answer all questions related to the basic rules of the network.
This directly slapped him in the face.
"Welcome to the network!"
However, the old man's skin was very thick. He laughed and stood up. "Young man, I see that you are amazing. You are an extraordinary genius. Let me give you a secret book. The important task of maintaining world peace will be entrusted to you!"
He reached into his arms and immediately grabbed a book of ancient costumes and handed it to Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi took it and saw the words "Xia Capital Travel Guide" written on the dark blue cover.
The old man rubbed his hands and smiled like a chrysanthemum. "Thank you for five points."
Although Zuo Yi was a newcomer and didn't know the specific use of the prices and points on the network, he saw through the old man's black heart at a glance. He shook his head and returned the so-called secret book to the other party.
With the Butterfly Fairy accompanying him for 72 hours, why would he need a travel guide?
It was obvious that he was trying to trick a newcomer!
"There are a lot of real materials in this book!"
Zuo Yi refused without hesitation. The old man's face was full of regret. However, he didn't give up and continued to trick him. "Since you don't like it, I'll show you the real secret book!"
As he spoke, he stuffed the travel guide back into his arms. When he took it out again, there was a thick stack of books.
"Take a look again."
The old man said with a smile.
The five books in his right hand opened like a peacock spreading its tail: Nine Yang Divine Art, Nine Yin Sutra, Nine Solitary Swords, Vajra Unbreakable Divine Art, Sunflower Treasure Book!
Zuo Yi was amused. "Boss, isn't your trick too old-fashioned? You have to keep up with the times when doing business! "
The old man smiled embarrassedly and casually threw the five "secret manuals" on the tea table next to him. He said disinterestedly, "Then you can choose by yourself. Anyway, everything is here."
He lay back down on the rattan chair.
Zuo Yi didn't mind. His eyes swept over the weapons on the shelves and asked, "Boss, did you refine these weapons yourself or do you sell them as an agent?"
The old man puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I'm just masturbating!"
"My apologies."
Zuo Yi replied politely before asking, "Master Lu, may I ask if you can teach me how to refine weapons?"
"You want to learn craftsmanship?"
Master Lu looked at Zuo Yi with puzzled eyes. "How many points do you have?"
Zuo Yi answered honestly, "One hundred points."
"I shouldn't have asked!"
Master Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "100 points? Well, it's quite a lot for a newbie, but if you want to learn craftsmanship from me, then add another three zeros. "
One hundred thousand points?
Zuo Yi nodded. "I understand. Thank you."
The reason why he had asked was mainly because he wanted to understand how to refine weapons on the Intranet and then master the deeper rules here.
But he hadn't expected Master Lu to offer such a high price.
That would be meaningless.
Of course, Zuo Yi was just asking casually. Seeing that there was nothing else new in the shop, he turned and left.
Capital Xia was so big. There were still many places to explore!
After Zuo Yi left with the Butterfly Fairy, Master Lu slowly picked up his big opium pipe and took two deep puffs.
He looked up at the ceiling and exhaled a large cloud of white smoke from his mouth and nose. He sighed and said, "Young people these days."
As the smoke dispersed, the covers of the five "Divine Kung Fu Manuals" that had been thrown on the tea table just now changed their titles silently.
Lu Clan's Ancestral Fist Manual, Internal Strength Breathing Method, Swordsmanship True Explanation, Muscle and Bone Tempering Technique …
These were the real martial arts manuals!
At this moment, Zuo Yi didn't know that he had just missed a "great opportunity." He continued to walk along the bustling Azure Dragon Street under the guidance of the Butterfly Fairy.
Teahouses, restaurants, grocery stores, clothing stores, weapon stores, jewelry stores …
The shops along the street really had everything. Zuo Yi even saw a pawnshop and a bank. Walking along the street, he felt as if he had traveled through time and space to the ancient imperial city.
The power of the laws!
Further ahead, a large palace-like building appeared in front of him. It was grand and imposing.
Zuo Yi asked, "Where is this?"
"Blue Dragon Arena."
The Butterfly Fairy immediately replied, "One of the four major martial arts arenas in Capital Xia. You can spar with others and improve your fighting and swordsmanship skills."
Zuo Yi's interest was immediately piqued. "Let's go in and take a look."
However, wanting to go in and take a look wasn't for nothing. Zuo Yi was blocked by two door gods at the entrance of the Blue Dragon Arena.
"Thank you for five points."
Zuo Yi glanced at the two top-notch cosplayers in front of him, Shen Tu and Yu Lei. He paid five points according to the system prompt that had just popped up in his vision and exchanged them for a ticket to the Blue Dragon Arena, as well as …
A bucket of popcorn!
Popcorn isn't a technological product?
Zuo Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully, then picked up a piece of popcorn and threw it into his mouth.
He chewed it. Hmm, it tastes exactly like real popcorn. It's fluffy and crispy, and it tastes even better!
In fact, when Shen Tu had just handed over the popcorn, Zuo Yi had already analyzed it with his Spirit Vision.
Every grain of popcorn in the bucket, including the paper itself, contained an extremely thin trace of the power of the laws. They weren't condensed from mental power, but were equivalent to the materialization of the laws.
The level of this kind of power of the laws was extremely low. It had no other effect except to materialize the shape, color, smell, and taste of an object.
When Zuo Yi tasted the popcorn and swallowed it, it silently dissipated and returned to the giant net of laws that constructed the Inner Net!
This reminded him of a phrase: drawing a pie to satisfy one's hunger.
However, it was much better than drawing a pie to satisfy one's hunger. At least it satisfied one's appetite. If all the food in the Inner Net was like this, then it would definitely be a paradise for those who were greedy and afraid of gaining weight!
It was also because it was materialized from the power of the laws that Zuo Yi was willing to taste it. Otherwise, if it was condensed from someone else's mental power, he would politely decline.
It was a pity that he couldn't bring the Bao'er in, otherwise the little girl would definitely have a lot of fun here!
Carrying the popcorn bucket, Zuo Yi passed through the tall palace's main entrance and entered the Blue Dragon Arena.
The internal structure of the martial arts arena was similar to a large indoor stadium. It was surrounded by ring-shaped auditorium with a martial arts arena in the middle. The only difference was that the size of the arena was much larger than the ones in the real world.
When Zuo Yi came in, there were at least two to three thousand people sitting in the audience. Looking around, it was very crowded and lively.
In the center of the arena, two men in martial arts attire were fighting fiercely. Their shouts and the muffled sounds of their fists and feet colliding could be heard clearly from far away!
Was there only one martial arts arena?
Zuo Yi found a seat near the entrance and sat down.
Just as his butt touched the seat, a system prompt popped up in his field of vision.
It turned out that there were a total of thirty-six martial arts arenas in the Blue Dragon Arena. They were named according to the thirty-six stars, such as Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji, Tianxian, Tianyong, Tianxiong, and so on.
Zuo Yi was currently looking at the Tiankui arena. If he wanted to watch the fight in the Tiangang arena, he just had to switch according to the system prompt — referring to the operation of watching live broadcasts on the Internet.
Moreover, which arenas were having fights, which arenas were empty, and how many people were lining up to fight in those arenas, were clearly displayed in the vision system. Zuo Yi could call them out at any time.
It was simply too convenient!
In addition, the system also had a preview of an important match. At the moment, the first match was a match that the audience was looking forward to with more than 15000 spectators — Iron Man VS Black Widow.
This match would start in thirty-five minutes, and the location was the Tiangang arena.
Originally, Zuo Yi wanted to leave after seeing the excitement and novelty. In his eyes, the fight between the two fellows in the Tiankui arena was no different from a fight between children. It was not worth wasting his time at all.
However, the preview of the Iron Man VS Black Widow attracted his attention.
Therefore, although the headline clickbait was abominable, it was effective!
