Chapter 99 Intermission 24

After Feng Bujue returned to his log-in lobby, he left the team so that his presence would not influence Xiao Tan and the rest when they queued up for their games. He had already assigned Passing Rain the role of the vice guild leader, thus handing her the responsibility of designing the guild badge. Even though she had disconnected on him once, with her personality, she had shown herself to be someone trustworthy. She would not disappoint with the stuff that she volunteered for.

Feng Bujue did not queue for a scenario. After spending 100,000 Game Coins, he still had 379,000 left, and that was enough for him to dress himself. First, he went to the market zone ten and sold the Children’s Baseball Bat to the system shop. It had to be said that the price was very fair. It sold for one thousand Game Coins or five RMB. It matched this weapon that had a zero offense point perfectly.

Ammo, potions, and lighting devices were consumables that Feng Bujue needed to restock; however, he did not hurry to buy them. Instead, he went to check out the apparel on sale. Those were the expensive items that would improve his status, and they were something that he had to purchase eventually. Therefore, he decided to see what he could buy with 380,000 Game Coins.

Feng Bujue did not really care that much about how he looked in-game, but that did not mean that he did not care at all. It was fine to wear the default outfit. After all, everyone had to wear it once, and it was free. But since he was going to spend money to buy new apparel, he was not going to buy a random outfit for the sake of improving his status. He did not think that he had the confidence to pull off some postmodern, mismatched outfit.

With the amount of apparel on sale, if he looked through them one by one, he would be at the market until morning. Therefore, Feng Bujue came up with his own system. Initially, he had the ’brilliant’ idea of cosplaying as a comic book character, but he soon realized that such apparel was all incredibly expensive. For example, the set for Doctor Doom would cost 900,000 Game Coins. The set was split into three parts—the mask, the armor, and the cape. In other words, one could have three separate buffs to their status. However, this set could not be purchased separately, and the buyer had to pay 900,000 Game Coins to buy the whole thing.

Feng Bujue did not seem to possess as many Game Coins as he thought.

Compared to Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul, who could spend 1,000,000 Game Coins or about five hundred RMB to expand their inventory by five slots, Feng Bujue’s 380,000 Game Coins were about 190 RMB. The man’s plan was to earn enough money to cover what he had spent on the gaming hub; that goal seemed to move further and further away. After all, the gaming hub was the standard, single-person gaming model NL2055. It cost up to five digits, and two of these hubs would be enough to purchase a car minus the license.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com... Actually, this set does not appear too comfortable. The cape is green, and the armor along with the cape will hinder one’s mobility." Feng Bujue tried to convince himself.

Then he searched for another character that he was more interested in, Deadpool. That red and black bodysuit was more skin-tight, and it did not come with anything like a cape; one’s movement would be smoother in it. Furthermore, the many belts on the apparel could be attached with guns and swords to save on the inventory space. There were only two parts to this set—the body suit and the face mask. In other words, two status buffs.

However, even the Deadpool outfit went on sale for 700,000 Game Coins.

At this point, Feng Bujue suddenly slapped himself on his head.

Oh! I forgot to ask Xiao Tan to return the Winchester. The dude has probably forgotten all about it.

However, he soon shrugged, thinking, But that weapon is quite useful. It’s beneficial for him to keep it. It should provide more aid to him than it would to me.

After Feng Bujue selected all the buffs of the apparel, the recovery speed of his Life Points improved, he could jump higher, and if he was bleeding, the rate at which he lost Life Points would decrease. Plus... he had created a style for himself in-game.

There were two empty slots left for his apparel—the head and the feet. However, Feng Bujue only had 140,000 Game Coins left. If he bought one, he would not be able to afford another. Furthermore, he needed some money to purchase the consumables, so he stopped looking through the apparel.

The stuff was equipped in the apparel slots, but the change to his appearance would only occur after he entered the log-in lobby. This was to prevent the player’s appearance from changing constantly in public areas.

Feng Bujue went on to purchase five potions. He did not go for the large ones. In terms of pricing, the potions were priced according to their size. The small potion that recovered thirty percent of one’s Life Points cost two thousand Game Coins, the medium potion that recovered fifty percent of one’s Life Points cost six thousand Game Coins, and the large potion that recovered one hundred percent of one’s Life Points cost twelve thousand Game Coins. This pricing was due to the remark that potions in Thriller Paradise had.

’The biggest stack is five, and continuous usage of said item will lower its efficiency.’

Even though it might appear that the smallest potion was the most cost effective, three small potions would recover fewer Life Points compared to one medium potion, and more importantly, it would save more inventory space.

Therefore, the bigger potions were the most effective and most space efficient, so they naturally cost the most.

Finally, Feng Bujue bought a flashlight and ammo for his pistol. Each magazine had seven bullets, and since there was one last bullet in his pistol, the two magazines took up two inventory spaces. Thankfully, he had already bought his apparel. Even though the coat jacket did not have a specific lined pocket like professional apparel for the storage of small blades and ammo, at least the jacket had several pockets on the outside and inside of the coat, where he could still store the ammo.

After finishing his shopping, Feng Bujue left the market. When he returned to the log-in lobby and the elevator doors closed, the system said, "Your apparel has been activated."
