Xiao Ran looked at the blond man and really felt that this guy seemed to be a little chuunibyou. Although he didn't know if he was faking it or if he had always been like this, Xiao Ran didn't want to team up with him. The most important problem was that the two sides didn't know each other well, and Xiao Ran was also afraid that teaming up with this guy would increase the difficulty of the next mission.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran asked, "Do you know me?"
"No." The blond man shook his head.
"Yes, you don't know me, and I don't know you. We don't even know each other's names. You're here to sell things, and I'm here to buy things. You suddenly said that you want to team up, and I feel a little embarrassed."
Xiao Ran sighed and continued, "I'm afraid that if I reject you, you'll become angry out of humiliation. If we bump into each other in a quest world, you'll do everything in your power to make trouble for me. I promise you. I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. I really don't know if I'll sell you out or if you'll sell me out. Do you think it's appropriate for us to form a party under such circumstances?"
The blond man heard Xiao Ran's words and sighed, "It's really difficult to find a suitable person to team up with now. The people here find it hard to trust others. Let me introduce myself. I'm Bassac. "
Xiao Ran also said his alias, "Alex."
"Alex, after the next mission is a special mission. I was the only one in the last special mission, and it was so difficult. It was so difficult without a suitable person to give me advice. I almost didn't come back." Bassac pulled his hair and said with a conflicted expression, "Why don't we sign a temporary team agreement and try to participate in a mission together? You can specify some conditions that are beneficial to you, such as your losses being shared equally by the two of us, and what punishment I'll receive if you die, and so on. It's also good to understand the process. Otherwise, I'll really have to join those armies."
"Special Quests are very difficult?" Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard Barsak's words. However, he quickly regained his senses. There was no special expression on his face, but he thought, "After every three mission cycles, there will be a special mission. I only joined Prometheus after the special mission ended. The book I bought before also mentioned this. Special missions are very special, and the mission mode is completely different from other missions. It's very random, and I might receive all kinds of messy missions. It seems that I have to prepare for the special mission. "
He gently exhaled. Xiao Ran looked at Bassac, "If we sign a temporary team agreement that is relatively fair on the premise that it's beneficial to me, it's not impossible to team up with you."
"Really!" Barsad's green eyes lit up as he said, "Why don't we sign it now?"
"Let's do it after we return from the next mission. I still want to do this mission alone …"
Before Xiao Ran could finish his words, Bassac became anxious, "Don't, this mission just so happens to be a good time for us to get used to each other. That way, we'll be able to cooperate better in special missions."
Xiao Ran frowned. In the world of Ultra Space-Time Fortress F, that team actually gave him a lot of thought and shock. In particular, the tacit cooperation of the other party made Xiao Ran realize that if he wanted to continue surviving in Prometheus, it was necessary. Having a team was an inevitable choice, but Xiao Ran did not want to team up with other participants.
First, because in Xiao Ran's view, the trust between participants was basically zero. When two strangers met, even if they had experienced all kinds of dangers together, it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would not have evil intentions towards him.
Second, because the current Xiao Ran still wanted to rely on the understanding of the plot to earn more war achievement points and obtain more benefits. If there was a participant by his side, many things would become inconvenient. After all, it was best not to reveal that he was familiar with the plot if he could.
Third, because Xiao Ran felt that he was still too weak, without strong strength, he would not have the right to speak in the team. In that case, he would be led by the nose by others, which might lead to some dangers, or even death.
Therefore, Xiao Ran would rather find a few more followers than team up with other participants. However, Bassac's words made Xiao Ran feel that. If they were not even willing to give him a chance to understand, then as the participants experienced more missions, their vigilance and defense in their hearts would become deeper. Even after obtaining power, they would become more arrogant. At that time, it would definitely be more difficult to find a team.
The contract that Bassac mentioned did indeed make Xiao Ran somewhat tempted. A contract that was beneficial to him was a good thing. Whether Bassac was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, as long as Xiao Ran was careful, there was no guarantee that there would be any danger under the contract.
But first, Xiao Ran had to confirm whether or not Barsad really didn't have a team. It was actually very simple to confirm this point. All he had to do was let Barsad prove it when they signed the contract. But before that, he had to get down to business first.
Xiao Ran nodded, neither agreeing nor refusing. He said, "I'll go back and think about it today. Let's exchange contact information, and I'll contact you tomorrow."
"Okay." Bassac smiled and nodded. He gave Xiao Ran his contact number. After Xiao Ran noted it down, he pointed at three items and asked, "Name a suitable price, and I'll buy all three of them."
"Since you're ready to team up with me, I'll tell you the truth. I got the 'I' position from opening a treasure chest, and I got the weapon and the beam shield through a very special method for a total of 50,000 war merit points. In fact, I didn't earn much from you."
Xiao Ran chuckled. "50,000 war merit points for two items. These two items add up to a total of 100,000 war merit points. You didn't earn much from me?"
Bassac shook his head. "I can't get all 50,000 war merit points because if I sell the items I got through this special method, I have to pay Prometheus 50% of the war merit points I earned from selling the items. So, I only got 25,000 war merit points."
"That's not a small amount." Xiao Ran shook his head and pointed at the three items. "I think it's reasonable that the three items cost 80,000 war merit points. The 'I' force field 'is just a C-grade component. It consumes too much energy and is not very practical. The weapon's highest power is only B-, so it's not very powerful. As for the beam shield, it's not too bad."
"100,000."
Xiao Ran shook his head. "80,000."
Bassac stared at Xiao Ran. "95,000."
Xiao Ran continued to shake his head. "80,000. Didn't you just say the cost price? Don't tell me you didn't get any war merit points from opening the treasure chest."
Bassac's eyes widened. "The lowest price is 90,000! If you decide to sign the contract with me tomorrow, I'll refund you 10,000. "
"Deal."
Xiao Ran nodded in satisfaction. He directly transferred 80,000 war merit points to Bassac and kept the three components in his bag. Then, he told Bassac that he would contact him tomorrow and left. Bassac looked at Xiao Ran's back and sighed.
Although he had spent 80,000 war merit points, Xiao Ran felt that it was actually quite worth it. The Sparrow Screen Shattering Crossbow was a weapon very suitable for multi-target shooting. However, if he wanted to maximize its power, he still needed to modify it slightly. In fact, the most praiseworthy part of this weapon, which was also what Xiao Ran had his eyes on, was not the weapon's main firing port, but the eight secondary firing ports.
It could shoot out a C-grade beam, but it was in the shape of a cylinder. Its size was only slightly bigger than the muzzle of a normal beam rifle, and its length was less than a quarter of a normal beam rifle's length. It was very small compared to a normal beam rifle.
As for the I-field generator, although its energy consumption was higher, it was actually quite good and could be used by the Black Heretics. As for the beam shield, it was naturally given to the Black Eagle, who had the least defensive means.
Perhaps it was his luck today, but not long after Xiao Ran left Bassac's stall, he met another target that he wanted to buy. It was a C-grade multi-lock-on system.
Quick multi-lock-on system: C-grade component. Can lock onto four targets per second at the fastest speed, and can lock onto up to fifteen targets. The price was slightly more expensive than what Xiao Ran had seen before. It cost a total of 7,000 war merit points. Xiao Ran did not even haggle and bought it directly.
Originally, he had more than 27,000 war merit points, but now he only had about 94,000 left. He spent 3,000 to repair the Sacred Lightning Shield, 3,000 to buy the battery pack, 94,000 to buy the three components and the multi-lock-on system, and 10,000 to modify it. In total, he had spent more than 100,000 war merit points.
Xiao Ran happily went to Lao Luo's shop with today's harvest, but he found that the shop had been blocked by an isolation device. He could only walk around. The few times he passed by Lao Luo's shop, it was the same. About 40 minutes later, Xiao Ran walked to Lao Luo's shop again and saw Lao Luo sitting on a big chair with a smile.
Lao Luo was also stunned when he saw Xiao Ran. He then smiled and said, "Hey, do you have any special skills? Why are you so sensitive to war merit points? I just sold the thing and you came."
"I sold it!" Xiao Ran was pleasantly surprised. Lao Luo smiled and nodded. "It's a little more than 2,000,000."
Xiao Ran smiled happily. Lao Luo lowered the isolation device again and said to Xiao Ran, "At first, there was a division that was only willing to pay 1,800,000, but since I promised you that I would sell it for 2,000,000, it had to be 2,000,000. I went to talk to that division's arch-enemy, and in the end, they gave me an extra 150,000 war merit points. The total is 2,150,000. I took a 5% discount in the middle, so there's still 2,030,000 left."
Xiao Ran saw the notification on his wristwatch. In an instant, his war merit points broke through seven digits. He could not stop smiling.
Lao Luo smiled and patted Xiao Ran's shoulder. "It's all thanks to you. They also gave me this battleship to repair. Although there's a slight discount, I can still earn quite a bit."
