Apocalyptic life from scratch

97 NPC
At this time, on this former green grass field, the appearance of a football field is completely invisible. The entire ground has become as flat as the surface of a lake, with strange magic circles drawn on it.In the center of the playground, there is a circular altar.

A dark blue crystal floated above the altar.This crystal is only the size of an egg, but it is the most important thing in this safe zone - the inheritance crystal.

It is precisely because of it that a wonderful safety zone shield can be formed here.

The size of this thing is determined by the number of people in the safe zone, and it can only be formed if it reaches a certain number.And the more people there are, the bigger it is.

In several large cities that Kong Zhe stayed in in his previous life, the diameter of the inheritance crystal even reached more than ten meters.Without exception, these large cities have a population of at least one million.

And there are only more than 800 people here, so such a small inheritance crystal is normal.

Not far from the inheritance crystal, there are two figures, one is a woman dressed as a village woman in a flower skirt, and the other is a creature like a civet cat.

These two are NPCs. After three years of life in the apocalypse in Kong Zhe's previous life, he is naturally familiar with all kinds of NPCs. He recognized these two at a glance. The woman is a pharmacist, and the civet cat is It's an appraiser.

Kong Zhe first walked to the woman's side.

"Hello, young adventurer, I am glad to serve you! What do you need?"

The handsome pharmacist said with a professional smile.

"Please show me the sales list!"

"Ok!"

As the pharmacist spoke, he stretched out his fingers a little bit in the air, and then Kong Zhe received a reminder.

When the panel was opened again, there were several rows of neatly arranged pictures on it.

Miniature Life Potion: Restores 30 HP within 150 seconds, priced at 1 gold coin.

Small Life Potion: Restores 30 health over 300 seconds.The price is 2 gold coins.

Micro Mana Potion: Restores 45 mana over 175 seconds.The price is 1 gold coin.

Purification Potion: Drinking it can remove an abnormal state on the body.The price is 5 gold coins.

……

In addition, there are bull potions that increase strength, flame potions that increase fire resistance, and so on.There are many types, but the most commonly used are blood potions and blue potions.

After thinking for a while, Kong Zhe said, "Ten bottles of small life potion and small magic potion, and one bottle of purification potion."

"Okay, the total is 45 gold coins."

Kong Zhe paid the money happily, took these red and blue bottles and jars from the NPC, and put them away directly.

These kind of NPCs don't know how to bargain, they say as much as they want, if they don't have enough money, even if it's only a silver coin, it's useless even if they are talking.

Fortunately, Kong Zhe had just obtained a huge sum of money from hunting rats, so he was able to afford so many medicines now.

Of course, it is a huge sum of money, but it is actually a huge sum of money for the current Kong Zhe.In the later stage, this gold coin is not even a fraction.

Now he has lost the puppy's healing technique, and he has no recovery skills, so battery life in battle has become an urgent problem to be solved.

This problem can be alleviated to some extent by purchasing blood bottles.

The blood potion and the blue potion are the most cost-effective potions among these potions, and other potions like miniature flame potions are only primary potions, so the effect is very weak. Even if they are useful, you can wait for the gold coins in the future. Buy more advanced ones directly.

After purchasing the potion, Kong Zhe hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the side of the civet cat.

Different from the pharmacist's approachability just now, this civet cat didn't bother to ignore him at all. When Kong Zhe walked to it, it didn't even lift its head. His eyes were bullish.

Kong Zhe couldn't help but the corners of his eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything.

He knew that this was a quirk that all appraiser NPCs had. The civet cat clan was rare, but all the clan members were appraisers.It is said that they have been immersed in identification techniques all their lives, and they are withdrawn by nature. Except for identification, they hardly talk to people.

"Hi, how about the appraisal fee?"

Kong Zhe took the initiative to step forward and asked.

Hearing Kong Zhe's voice, the civet cat opened its eyes, looked Kong Zhe up and down, and said in a somewhat impatient voice: "White equipment costs 10 gold coins, green 50 gold coins, blue 100 gold coins, and purple 200 gold coins! "

Kong Zhe compared the price with the previous life while listening, and found that it was slightly more expensive than the previous life.It should be due to the early days of the end of the world, the number of NPCs is small, so the price will increase slightly.

After the civet cat finished speaking, Kong Zhe was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that the civet cat had closed its eyes again.

This made Kong Zhe speechless for a while.There are two things he needs to identify, one is the illusion scroll he got from Zhang Qiang before, and the other is his Tarot card.

Although he has activated the Tarot cards and become a thaumaturgy, he still knows little about this super artifact, and has been constantly groping to use it.

A super artifact cannot be so simple. There must be many secrets in this tarot card that Kong Zhe has not solved.

So after learning from Yang Fang that there was an appraiser in this school, he immediately changed his mind and came here.

The super artifact is something he will always use in the future. Of course, the sooner it is identified, the better, otherwise he will not know if his method of use is wrong.

At this time, the civet cat kept silent after half of the conversation, and the other party didn't say the information he needed most.

"and then?"

Kong Zhe hurriedly asked: "How do you count gold equipment and... and equipment with unknown levels?"

He didn't want people to know about the super artifact, so as not to cause trouble, so he had to use the unknown level instead.

"Golden equipment?"

Now the raccoon cat opened its eyes and looked at Kong Zhe, with a look of surprise on its face, but it quickly disappeared, and turned into that unflattering attitude again, closing its eyes and slowly saying: "Gold equipment costs 500 gold coins a piece. , As for the unknown level of equipment, all are counted as gold level."

Damn, five hundred?

Kong Zhe couldn't help but twitched his mouth. Although he guessed that the price would be high, he didn't expect it to be so outrageous. He couldn't even appraise half of the gold coins on his body now.

In his previous life, he had never touched equipment above blue at all, so he had no idea of ​​the gold coins needed to appraise such advanced items. Until now, when he learned the price, he was really terrified.

But it's understandable if you think about it carefully, because even if most people can get gold equipment, it's only in the later stage.By that time, everyone's level will be much higher, and it will be much easier to obtain gold coins.So the [-] gold coins at that time and the [-] gold coins now are not the same concept at all.In the later stage, this identification fee will be squeezed out casually.

But in the early days, it was able to bankrupt him several times.

Of course, this is only the price of an NPC. If it is a human appraiser, the asking price will definitely be much lower.

According to statistics from previous lives, among various sub-professions, the gold coins charged by human sub-professions are only one-third of that of NPCs on average.

That is to say, in the early days of the end of the world, sub-jobs among humans were still very rare, and even if there were, the level was very low, so most awakened people could only find NPCs.

In the future, when there are more and more sub-jobs among humans, few people will go to these NPCs anymore.

They won't lower the price at all, so in order to save money, they will go to NPC unless they can't find a shop opened by a human awakener nearby. Generally, they go to a human pharmacy or weapon shop to buy equipment and props.

But NPC also has an advantage, that is, they will never disclose your information, let alone cheat your equipment.Especially for the profession of appraiser, because the appraiser needs to get the equipment by himself during the appraisal, in this case, it is easy to have disputes.

If the low-level equipment is fine, ordinary people don't need to ruin their reputation for it, but if it is high-level equipment, such as purple or even gold, it will inevitably make people think otherwise.

So even in the later stage, some people still choose to identify and buy items from NPCs. It is a bit expensive, but at least the safety is guaranteed.

Kong Zhe sighed, there was no other way, the Tarot cards had to be identified, so he could only go out and look for gold coins.

After the end of the world, NPCs in each safe zone will appear randomly, and appraisers are already relatively rare.If you miss this appraiser, you don't know when you will meet another one.

Leaving the playground, Kong Zhe looked around the campus, and found the big snake easily, after all, it was too big.It's hard not to see it.

The safe area of ​​Jincheng University just covers a large dormitory area, so there is no need to worry about finding a place to live.Originally, there were less than a thousand surviving students in the school, not to mention that most of them gathered in the cafeteria at this time, and very few people actually went to the dormitory.

At this time, the big snake was coiling up on one of the three-story buildings, and it directly occupied the whole building.

Kong Zhe walked up to the building and took a look. Compared with the rest of the richly decorated floors with red bricks and green tiles, this building looked extremely old. At first glance, it looked like an old-fashioned dormitory building that hadn't had time to be demolished and rebuilt. .

It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, so there is a thick layer of dust on the floor.Of course, it is precisely because of this that Xue Feifei chose this building. After all, she is withdrawn by nature, concentrating on her own research, and is too lazy to communicate with others, so naturally, a place with fewer people is more comfortable for her .

With a big snake entrenched here, those students dare not come here anymore, even some students who live nearby are moving things at this time, and they seem to run away to live in a place farther away.
