Chapter 515 Two Page Diary
"What?!"

The fat businessman's eyes almost popped out of his head. "I help you find things, and I have to pay for it myself?"

Not only the fat businessman, but even the people behind him stared at Luo Jun in disbelief.

Are you trying to kill yourself by bargaining like this?
However, Luo Jun spread his hands and said as if it was a matter of course: "What else?"

"If you weren't an old customer, I would close the window and leave right now!" Even the fat businessman's usually kind face couldn't help but tremble a few times.

"Then tell me, how much is appropriate?" Luo Jun gave the initiative to the other party.

Finally, after a lot of haggling between the two parties, it was decided that the deal would be sold at a price of 2,500 yuan per piece, but a deposit of 10,000 yuan had to be left, with the excess refunded and the shortfall supplemented.

After paying the money and leaving the Endless Shop, everyone else looked at Luo Jun with admiration.

"My junior, when I heard you asking for money from the merchants, my cerebellum atrophied..." Sun Xiaowei patted her chest and said, "I was afraid that you would fail in the negotiation..."

"I didn't expect to be able to bargain down to a quarter of the price..." Ma Qiao was also impressed: "Is this the power of language? I've learned something."

"I advise you not to learn blindly. The same set of words may have completely different effects when used by different people." Luo Jun immediately put an end to Ma Qiao's thoughts. At this time, a prompt sound rang in his mind.

"Ding, the event was successful, basic experience points 100, severity coefficient seven times, the final experience points obtained are 700."

Just because I cut the price, the severity factor increased by seven times?

It seems that this missing diary does contain key information.

Luo Jun opened his dice panel. He only had one dice roll left. He had no idea how long he had been out there or when it would be refreshed. He looked at his experience points. He still had more than 500 points to level up.

If you want to get more dice rolls, you either have to use chips or use the last dice to get more than 500 experience points.

But to achieve this, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Luo Jun felt the flow of vital energy in his body and nodded secretly.

After leaving the store, everyone returned to the starting point to rest for a while, and then started the next round of exploration.

It was still the original configuration. Luo Jun opened the map, Li Ying helped to record the video, and the others followed in formation. They rushed all the way until the map time was up, and then began to explore back according to the video.

Luo Jun's guess was right. This time, he didn't see a single store along the entire route, but the number of treasure chests and relics was more than before.

However, Luo Jun was not panicked, as the supplies in his hands were enough for everyone to continue. They went back and began to clean up various special places. When they returned to the starting point, in addition to a large number of silver ingots and copper coins, they also opened ten supplies from a treasure chest.

After these few times, they also discovered that the things opened in the treasure chest are generally worth several thousand yuan, with some fluctuations. In most cases, they give silver ingots and copper coins directly, and occasionally they give other things, including props and supplies.

After returning to the origin, they tried to contact Ling Jian who was exploring alone outside, and asked him to return to the origin to meet up with everyone if he needed help. The reply they got was that he was fine now and there was no need to worry, and that it was very far away from the origin and it would be difficult to go back.

"This kid is quite capable." Ma Qiao praised: "His last name is Ling, could he be from the Ling family?"

"He didn't mention it himself..." Mao Xintong said, "In my experience, the people of the Ling family are very proud of their family. When introducing themselves during a mission, they will mention it on purpose."

“As far as I can remember, I haven’t heard of this person among the younger generation of the Ling family.” Old Yuan also shook his head. He had a wide network of contacts in the cultivation circle and had some friendship with the Ling family.

"Since he said he has a way, let's not interfere with his freedom." Luo Jun spread his hands: "Let's go, there is a map, I hope we can find the store this time!"

The crowd set out again, chose a direction that no one had ever set foot in, and ran wildly all the way.

As they moved forward, everyone stared at the map projected in front of Luo Jun, expecting the appearance of an icon representing the store.

However, the map was refreshing rapidly, with icons representing monsters, mechanisms, and even treasure chests constantly appearing on it, but there was no store.

As time went by, everyone began to get anxious. If they still didn't find the store this time, their survival cycle would be broken. If they wanted to encounter a store again, they could only rely on luck to explore.

"Xiao Luo, didn't you bargain too hard and offended him?" Ma Qiao complained as he pedaled his bicycle. "Now he took the money and ran away. Not only did he lose 10,000 yuan, but he can't even find the store anymore."

Luo Jun frowned, he also thought of this possibility. But his intuition told him that Endless Store would not be so dishonest.

After all, the businessman was quite active during the bargaining. If he really intended to cheat someone and leave, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to me.

But Luo Jun had made a plan in his mind. If no store appeared when there were fifteen minutes left, he would find a way to leave the team and move forward at his highest speed to increase the search range.

As for how to explain it, we’ll talk about it later. After all, in this endless maze, if you can’t find a store, survival will be a problem.

As they continued to move forward, the time left on the map became less and less. Luo Jun, who was running in the lead, swallowed his saliva, glanced at Li Ying who was following him, and made a plan in his heart...

But at this moment, Sun Xiaowei exclaimed from behind: "It appeared!"

Luo Jun looked up and found that there was indeed a store icon on the map!

Finally it came... Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of ​​using the backup plan. Then, he keenly noticed that Li Ying beside him also breathed a sigh of relief...

He is also looking forward to the store?

This reaction surprised Luo Jun a little, but it was not convenient to ask in detail now. The few of them maintained their speed and rushed all the way to the end of the map.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

After running for an hour at a speed of over 100 miles per hour, even with the help of tools, Ma Qiao and Mao Xintong were still a little exhausted. As soon as they stopped, they sat down and gasped for breath, and their Qi was not stable. Although Sun Xiaowei was riding an electric bike, her foundation was the worst. In order to turn in time to avoid obstacles, she had to concentrate and was very tired at the moment. As for Zhuge Zi, this girl relied on flashing for more than half of the journey. Although the physical consumption was not that great, her vitality was a little overwhelmed. Even with a treasure that reduced consumption, she took medicine several times along the way. This was thanks to her own high-quality gas storage treasure, otherwise she really couldn't hold on.

Compared to these people, Luo Jun and Yuan Lao looked much calmer. Their foundation was solid, and they were the best among the practitioners, so running all the way was no problem. However, Li Ying had been following Luo Jun for several times, and he didn't seem to use any external force, but he was able to keep up with the speed. He really had something.

After resting and recovering, everyone started to look back. After more than two days of exploration, after sweeping all the special places they could find, they came to the only store. After knocking on the window, the fat businessman showed his face and smiled when he saw Luo Jun: "Hey, little brother, you are finally here..."

"You made it so hard for me to find you." Luo Jun sighed, "I thought you were hiding from me on purpose."

"How is that possible?" The fat businessman rubbed his hands, "You are a regular customer, I can't wait for you to come!"

"How is the thing I asked you to do before going?" Luo Jun went straight to the point.

The fat businessman chuckled and took out two pieces of paper: "I found two pages for you."

"Wow!" Luo Jun's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he reached out to take it. The people behind him couldn't wait to come forward.

"You still have five thousand deposited with me. Should I return it to you?" asked the businessman.

"Don't worry, let's finish reading first!" Luo Jun picked up the first page and started reading.

"Ling Yue is dead, and I was also seriously injured. Although I managed to escape, my body couldn't hold on any longer. The things in the black shop really can't be eaten, no matter how hungry I am."

"It seems that my life will end here..."

"Unexpectedly, I still couldn't get out in the end. This maze is not as simple as we thought. There are too many hidden things. It's a pity that we found out too late."

"When I failed the special mission last month and fell back to Class A, I joked that I could relax for a while. I didn't expect that I would lose my life on the first mission."

"But I can't sacrifice in vain. My treasure box should remain in the maze forever as a relic. Inside is my diary, which records my experiences in the maze these days."

"These experiences should serve as a warning to future generations. In order to ensure that the diary can be opened, I cleared out all the treasures and left only this diary. Then I wrote on my clothes, 'Please use my relics to summon treasures. There is a key to breaking the deadlock.' This way, future generations will not waste my relics to exchange for supplies..."

"I hope my diary will be helpful to future generations. If someone can use my diary to leave this maze, I will die with peace of mind..."

…………

After reading the diary, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, this is the last page of Zhuge Qian's diary and also his last words before his death.

"Senior Zhuge said that he wrote something on his clothes. Did you see it, Xiaozi?" Mao Xintong asked.

Zhuge Zi shook her head. "When I saw Grandpa's body, his clothes had basically decayed and I couldn't make out the words at all. I only recognized it from the pattern of the treasure box."

"Xiao Qianzi's painstaking efforts were almost defeated by time." Old Yuan sighed: "If it hadn't been picked up by my granddaughter by chance, this relic would probably have been exchanged for supplies and wasted."

“But this last page doesn’t have much substantive content,” Ma Qiao complained.

"There is still some key information." Luo Jun shook his head: "First of all, you can't eat anything from the black shop. Although they don't say what the consequences will be, we must definitely avoid it in the future."

"Then, our previous guess that we could leave by collecting the ultimate items from the black and white shop should not be feasible."

After hearing this, Sun Xiaowei asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because grandpa mentioned that he knew it too late..." Zhuge Zi explained: "In the previous diary, grandpa saw the product catalog of the black and white store a long time ago and figured out a way to leave the maze. But this last page said it was not that simple, which means that the previous guess should not work..."

"Why is this happening?!" Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei said disappointedly.

"But at least, the old man believed that his diary could help future generations to leave." Mao Xintong encouraged: "Even if the previous path didn't work, he must have found other ways. Let's look at another page."

Luo Jun nodded, picked up another page and started reading.

"Finally I came across another store today."

"We exchanged ten portions of food first. We haven't eaten for almost two days. It's not a good feeling to be hungry while holding a pile of silver and copper coins."

"We have more than 30,000 yuan in total, and we are still a long way from exchanging for the final exit indicator. But we can't keep running around like a headless fly. After discussion, we spent 5,000 yuan to exchange for a portable map. If we can't find the store again, we can use the portable map to search, which should improve efficiency a lot."

"Soon after we left the store, we encountered another Chaos Monster."

"Damn it, it's this troublesome thing again. Physical attacks of this monster are almost ineffective, and its resistance is also very high. Even Chen Jin's flames are difficult to kill. We wanted to bypass it, but the commotion caused by Aliang was discovered by that guy, and he actually followed us. These monsters have no fixed form. This one changed into a leopard, and it was very fast. We couldn't get rid of it. In the end, we used illusion to trick it away and got rid of it."

…………

This page is obviously one of the earlier ones in the lost diary. The diary mentions Aliang and Chen Jin. Combined with what was mentioned before, Lingyue was the last one to die before Zhuge Qian. It can be seen that all four of them are still alive.

"Another meaningless page..." Ma Qiao complained: "Does this look like the next page in the diary?"

"No!" Luo Jun shook his head: "There must have been a page before this one, and the content is very strange."

"What's so strange about that?" others asked in confusion.

"Why do you want to go around it?" Luo Jun frowned and said, "Chaos monsters will obviously drop gold ingots, and Senior Zhuge has killed them before. Normally, you should be eager to encounter monsters, exchange them for ingots, and go to the black shop to exchange for supplies. Why do you choose to go around it?"

After he said this, everyone reacted: "Yes, are they injured? And unable to fight?"

"The diary clearly states the reason why they don't want to fight this kind of monster. If there is any reason for injury, it will definitely be mentioned." Zhuge Zi shook his head and said, "They avoided the monster and didn't even mention the gold ingot. There must be other reasons."

Luo Jun nodded in agreement and analyzed: "If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened to them before this, which resulted in them not needing gold ingots anymore..."
