Very obviously, the first windbreaker type armor was directly worn by Sheyan. To him, even if his charm was increased by 1 point, it was still not bad. After all, the reward for crossing this world was only 1 free attribute point. But the second equipment made him frown. Because looking at it, this perfectly restored cobalt steel exoskeleton's attributes had all declined. Firstly, its attack had dropped from 33 points to 19 points. Secondly, its additional equipment's interface had been destroyed. Lastly, its weapon type special effects had been removed.
But, Sheyan immediately noticed an additional attribute: All basic attributes + 1. He instantly felt that all the previous weakening was worth it. In fact, amongst all the additional attributes of light blue grade equipment, this attribute was the most valuable. Because in this way, it was equivalent to an additional 7 basic attribute points! Although these attribute points were unable to be allocated by himself, but its value to Sheyan who had just entered this world was extremely valuable. It was also worth the huge risk of being hunted down by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Another point worth mentioning was that although the upper attack of this equipment had dropped by 14 points, its lower attack had increased from 3 points to 18 points. This kind of adjustment was equivalent to weakening the explosive power of this equipment, causing its damage output to be more stable when attacking the enemy. Its value should not decrease but increase instead.
To people who liked to take risks, sudden explosive power was undoubtedly their favorite. But to Sheyan who was good at planning, stability was the most important thing. As for random and uncontrollable variables, the less the better. No matter if these variables were good or bad, they could still destroy the battle's rhythm and layout. This was a taboo for a planner.
In fact, even in the present world, a company with a stable cash flow was much better than a company with a fluctuating income. Even if the annual profit difference between the two was not that great. One thing to note was that in the present world, a stable income was one of the main reasons why civil servants were favored in marriage. From this, one could see that the word 'stability' had long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the majority of child-bearing age unmarried women and their parents.
Because the cobalt steel exoskeleton's requirement had already been raised to 9 points of strength, Sheyan decided to allocate his unallocated free attribute points to strength. After equipping all his equipment (including the golden pocket watch), his attributes were as follows: (Currently, the 50% world bonus has disappeared)
Strength 10 points (9 + 1) Dexterity 7 points (6 + 1) Constitution 14 points (12 + 1 + 1) Perceptive Sense 12 points (11 + 1) Charm 8 points (6 + 1 + 1) Intelligence 6 points (5 + 1) Spirit 5 points (4 + 1)
Note: The first part of the brackets refers to the basic attributes, while the second part refers to the equipment bonuses.
After some calculations, he attempted to link up with the realm through his nightmare imprint, attempting to purchase some suitable items or abilities. Instead, he received a notification of insufficient achievement points and insufficient authority. He could only purchase two basic abilities – 'Basic Eloquence' and 'Basic Meditation'. These two basic abilities weren't what Sheyan urgently needed, and were exceedingly expensive. Just learning them would require 3000 utility points, and after learning them, one would need to use potential points to level up. The pitiful Sheyan only had 420 utility points on him, and even if he wanted to spend them, he didn't have the ability to do so.
After sighing, Sheyan stood up. To his surprise, he couldn't find a door, and the entire room blended into one. But just as he was thinking of 'how should I get out', the nightmare imprint on his chest automatically shot out a ray of light, illuminating the opposite wall. Instantly, a door appeared. When Sheyan exited his personal room, he turned back to take a look. The door had already completely melted back into the wall, leaving not a single trace behind. Furthermore, it was still moving at a constant speed. Of course, this was to prevent others from identifying him from entering the room.
Sheyan turned around and raised his head, taking a deep breath. In front of him was an incomparably huge space! This space gave one a feeling of boundless coverage, emitting a faint red glow. Accurately speaking, the surrounding walls were like a gigantic arched eggshell, and his room was enclosed within the eggshell.
Sheyan squatted down and pressed his fingers against the ground. The ground wasn't hard, but rather soft. It gave one the feeling of an organism's warmth and elasticity. In front of him was an exceptionally vast plaza, at least a thousand people were squatting, standing or sitting. Some were using hand gestures to communicate noisily, like a marketplace.
In the plaza, everyone's head was shrouded in a layer of fog, so dense that even their facial features couldn't be seen clearly. This was probably the nightmare realm's special protective effect. Around the central plaza, there were several circular glowing doors emitting a strong glow. Occasionally, ripples of light would appear, but one couldn't tell what they were for. Occasionally, one could see people entering and exiting, it didn't seem like a forbidden area.
To Sheyan, he had already vaguely guessed the function of this place. Thus, he headed towards the nearest gathering place. As expected, the squatting people were selling items. In front of them floated a full 3D projection of the items being sold, along with various detailed parameters. Almost all of them were items brought out from the nightmare realm, but the prices were a little too high.
For example, the price of a half-broken pistol could climb up to 500 utility points, not including bullets. There were also some food and medicine that could quickly restore HP during or after a battle. In addition, there were also basic ability scrolls for sale. Of course, the price was only slightly cheaper than the official price.
After arriving at this trading place, Sheyan quickly took stock of his items. Obviously, the cobalt steel exoskeleton was listed in the category of items not for sale. The gold shell pocket watch could increase a useful point of physique, but it couldn't be sold. Due to his lack of agility, it was very likely that he would have to rely on close combat for a long period of time. Therefore, the special FBI windbreaker 'Reduce enemy's accuracy by 1%' property was rather valuable. If the unpurified black blood orchid was used at the right time, it was equivalent to an extra life. Naturally, it couldn't be discarded.
Thus, after some calculations, the only items he could take out to trade were the scroll 'Light Firearm Proficiency', the dog tag dropped from the dead Delta Special Force member (Unidentified), and of course, 420 utility points. Apart from that, there was also the T-750 Terminator and the FBI agent's information.
Sheyan wasn't in a rush to trade, instead, he strolled through the bustling market, constantly collecting all sorts of information. When he was a crew member, he often smuggled goods everywhere, so he was rather familiar with these kinds of private transactions. Unfortunately, due to the protection of the space, he couldn't judge the seller's mentality by observing their expressions. Otherwise, if he met a guy who was eager to cash in, he would be able to earn extra profits.
After strolling through half of the market, Sheyan frowned, because he discovered that the people here were all selling information. For example, the T-750 Terminator and the FBI agent's information were exceptionally cheap. The selling price was only 50 utility points, and the buyers didn't seem to have a strong desire to spend. It should be because there were many people in the Terminator world, and the frequency of these two items appearing was very high. However, there was no lack of information with sky-high prices. For example, there was a piece of information regarding the Predator elder. Even though it was only a 'part', it was still sold for a high price of 5000 utility points.
After strolling through the entire market, Sheyan already had a certain understanding of the market. Without a doubt, with his innate ability 'Endurance', if he wanted to maximize this attribute, then he would definitely prioritize high defence equipment and items, followed by high physique equipment and items. In this world, those who could persevere till the end were the ones who laughed the loudest.
Thus, Sheyan used his nightmare imprint to pay 100 utility points to the realm, and searched for an empty space to start selling. The nightmare realm wasn't like the nightmare world, it naturally had a protective mechanism. There were many rules, such as not being able to attack others, and transactions had an automatic detection mechanism. Thus, Sheyan could boldly display his items in front of him. Naturally, there would be a holographic projection in the air to promote it. If interested parties were to pick it up and check it out, there wouldn't be any problems. If they were to leave the market with something that didn't belong to them, then the item would automatically be returned.
Even though he already had a list of items that weren't for sale and items that were worth selling, he still displayed all his equipments on the booth. His objective was naturally to garner popularity, and attract more people to come. To those strolling in the market, a new stall would always have a certain level of attraction. Very quickly, contestants came to purchase their goods.
Needless to say, these few items were rather practical. Within a short span of 10 minutes, 5-6 people had expressed their intentions to purchase them. But to Sheyan's surprise, the most sought after item was actually that golden shell pocket watch!
