I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 37 Anchor of Destiny

Stepping into the exchange again, Lin Yuan avoided the messy crowd and went straight to the location of the cloaked merchant last time.

Someone noticed Lin Yuan and couldn't help but smack his lips: "Isn't this the lady who spent two thousand gold? She actually dared to come and make a deal with Cloak."

In the eyes of everyone in Star City, the Cloak Merchant has no name and is very mysterious. They usually just call him Cloak.

Because the other person has been wearing a cloak, and the lowered brim of the hat must completely cover his face.

In addition, the cloak merchant has a nickname, "devil".

Anyone who had done business with him in the City of Stars would always disappear completely after a period of time. Perhaps they died, or were expelled from the main city. In short, they would never be seen again.

This was the first or second time they had seen someone so eager to make a deal with the devil.

Someone was holding a delicious dish with a fragrant aroma. His mouth, which had been eating bland food for a long time, was already drooling, but his eyes uncontrollably glanced in the direction where Lin Yuan was walking.

He whispered, "As long as you stay in the City of Stars for a while, you will always hear rumors about the devil. That lady really suffered from her lack of experience and dared to make a deal with the devil."

“Maybe the other party doesn’t think so.”

Someone held a teacup and took a sip.

Lin Yuan walked up to the cloaked merchant, pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation, as if the two were old friends who had known each other for many years and there was no need to even say hello.

She got straight to the point: "I need a follow-up item, or something that can allow me to enter a copy with someone."

Lin Yuan raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the cloak and look directly at the face underneath.

The cloaked merchant remained silent, seemed to sigh, and shrugged: "I don't know you well. I just come here occasionally to hang out. I didn't expect to meet a customer like you who is so persistent."

Lin Yuan pursed his lips, then watched the other person take out a shiny object from under his wide robe.

Like a pendant, like an ornament.

But Lin Yuan knew that ordinary decorations were of little use in the game world, so what the merchant took out must be good stuff.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he suppressed his desire to see the treasure and said something off topic: "You said your speciality is divination, don't you know that I will come to you again?"

She was separated from her precious props for seven days.

Hearing this, the merchant remained silent for even longer, and his gaze hidden in the shadows seemed to penetrate the forest.

After a long while, a slightly harsh and hoarse voice was heard.

"My cards show that we will indeed meet again, but the time is not now."

Lin Yuan thought, that's because your fortune telling was inaccurate, so you blame me for ruining your prediction?

She said nonchalantly, "Forget it. I have money now and need to replenish my title. Merchant, do you have anything suitable for me?"

The last two titles, one for immunity to control and one for hunting list, both played a big role.

Lin Yuan didn't believe in coincidences, so he attributed it all to the businessman's "fortune-telling ability."

The cloaked merchant's shoulders twitched twice, and he seemed to have difficulty moving.

He placed the pendant in his palm on the table. Under the silver light, the pendant shone brightly.

Lin Yuan took a closer look.

The pendant is very small, half the length of a finger, in the shape of a "cross", with a barbed smile at the bottom.

It's neither like a prayer nor like a mockery.

"This is an anchor." The businessman seemed to understand Lin Yuan's confusion and gave a hint.

Lin Yuan nodded, and the next second, the information of "Anchor of Destiny" appeared on the panel.

[Item: Destiny Anchor]

[Feature·Destined lv1: Everything you desire and look forward to will definitely meet you. After activating this feature, the probability of some low-difficulty events will increase, but it will not affect high-difficulty events.]

[Note: The cooling time is seven days in the sailing world]

Lin Yuan's mouth twitched: "Can I make a wish directly?"

After seeing the merchant nod, Lin Yuan paused and changed his original wish from "I want to be matched into a copy with my enemy" to "I want to be a fair and honest swordsman in the next copy."

[Destiny Anchor: Feature Activated] The seven-day cooldown is over. As far as she knows, Yan Xianglong will leave in two weeks, and she will have the chance to make a second wish.

Wait until your star rating is raised before looking for the other party.

After making the wish, a meteor shower fell in the central square outside the exchange, which was very appropriate.

Lin Yuan realized that he had not paid, so he asked the price.

The cloaked merchant tapped the table with his fingers and reported Lin Yuan's entire net worth: "Two thousand gold."

Lin Yuan clenched his hands under his sleeves, and said with a fake smile: "Shouldn't I thank you for leaving me some rent and food money?"

The merchant shook his head and took out another title gem: "I will sell you the most useful things at a low price. When we meet again, the value of all goods will be doubled."

Lin Yuan felt something was wrong and interpreted many signals from this sentence, so he quickly swiped the gold coin over.

Will the price double when we meet later?
What this businessman means is that if I leave Star City and see him somewhere else in the future and want to do business with him, I will have to pay more?
Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "Does your identity in another main city have a special status?"

In fact, she also realized that the cloak merchant would not come to Star City for a long time.

The businessman actually laughed. The sound was not pleasant, but every word could be heard clearly.

“It’s really special.”

He took the gold coins and handed the title to the table in front of Lin Yuan.

"I'm lending this to you. I don't charge rent. It's because you'll spend a lot of money when you leave Star City. I'll help you save money in advance."

Lin Yuan lowered his brows, exhaled lightly, and thought unhappily.

You collect thousands of gold at a time, how can I not spend a lot of money?

On second thought, in a place like Zhongxing City, a person in Dongcheng District needs to save 10,000 gold to be eligible to move in, and there is no guarantee that he will not go bankrupt when going to other main cities.

Since there's no rent involved, why not take it?

Lin Yuan took the title gem.

[Title: Bounty Hunter]

[Feature: Soul Selling Level 1: Every player's soul harvested by your knife will be converted into gold coins]

Lin Yuan understood it quickly: "A title that is exclusive for making money?"

The businessman nodded, and Lin Yuan hesitated and said thank you.

Once the gold coins are spent, there is naturally no need to keep any.

Lin Yuan wrapped the anchor of destiny around his wrist and was about to get up and leave.

Perhaps it was the word "thank you" that worked, the cloaked merchant lay back in his chair and spoke for the first time in his life to remind others.

"Don't wrap the tool around your hand. If your hand is broken, you may not be able to find the anchor of destiny again."

Lin Yuan turned around and gave the businessman a strange look.

After thinking about it, he untied the anchor of destiny and hung it around his neck again.

The businessman pointed to his neck. The wound was twisted and horrible.

He agreed: "If you can still throw it away while hanging it around your neck, then you can really die."

Lin Yuan thought that if he could drop it while hanging around his neck, his head would be cut off.

The conversation between the two psychopaths is both illogical and very reasonable.

Lin Yuan glanced lightly at the wound on the merchant's neck. This time he was very sure that it was caused by scalding water.

Although he couldn't remember some things, Lin Yuan was indeed very familiar with this kind of scar.

The wish for the Destiny Anchor had been made. Lin Yuan admired the tail of the meteor shower outside and walked to the game pool.

After a while, she entered a copy that met her psychological expectations.

——Werewolf.
