Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 8 008: The Deal

There are no intermediate processes or procedures; the generous survival game directly transfers money to your account.

A total of ninety ominous copper coins were already safely stored in Ling Xiao's pocket before he switched the panel to [Backpack].

Adding to the original twenty-seven coins, the deposit directly exceeded three digits!

What used to require saving money and living frugally can now be bought out in a flash!

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had been poor since childhood and was extremely familiar with restraint when it came to money, so the waves stirred up by his spending desires quickly subsided.

The leaderboard rewards are tiered.

The top ten will receive thirty ominous copper coins each day.

There are 20 prizes for the eleventh to fiftieth place each day.

From the fifty-first to the hundredth, there are only ten left.

Apart from the top 100 explorers, the others are simply listed and know where they stand.

"Will I still have to compete in this other world? I wonder how long I can hold onto my ranking..."

With a sigh, Ling Xiao continued to explore the other new features.

The leaderboard is a branch of the [Channels], while the three newly unlocked features are system functions of the same level as the latter.

[Friends] [Shop] [Guilds]

Currently, only explorers who have completed the trial mission can use it first; others, no matter how curious, cannot "stare" at it.

The Friends list is naturally empty.

But I've already received messages from people on the application list.

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Hi, Owl! Can we be friends? We can exchange monster information and action tips; it'll benefit us both!'"

The top-ranked player on both leaderboards took the initiative to show goodwill, so without hesitation, I immediately gave him a friend slot.

Ling Xiao also sent friend requests to [The Agile Dog in the Mountains], [Amazing Swan], and others, and accepted them all.

The former is a lucky person with "good fortune", and the latter once offered "kind advice" on the channel. Both are considered valuable individuals.

However, Ling Xiao temporarily put aside the applications from other Level 0 strangers.

I neither agreed nor directly rejected it; I'll decide whether to add it later depending on the situation.

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Awesome, bro! Top three on all three lists!'"

Although he knew the other party was just being polite to get closer to him, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel smug and happy.

There's no way around it; it's really hard not to get carried away when someone even more powerful than yourself gives you praise.

Everyone carries the flowery sedan chair.

This survival game isn't just about fighting and killing; you can't neglect human relationships and social interactions either!

Ling Xiao: "I can't compare to the big shots, I really can't! I know perfectly well how valuable LV3 is!"

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Hehe! Brother Xiao, let's not waste any more time on pleasantries. Let me give you a little something to start the conversation!'"

After that, several pictures appeared on the screen.

WTF!?

How could it be so convenient!?

Shocked, Ling Xiao immediately clicked on it.

【Night Shadow Rabbit】

【Mist Spider】

【Wild Lizard】

……

The other party readily sent information on six types of monsters, which were similar to those detected by the Eye of Appraisal.

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'These are some of the monsters I encountered in the mist. By the way, once you find out information about a monster, the map will also record it, right?'"

Ling Xiao: "Uh... thanks for reminding me, brother. I've been so busy I really didn't know. This information is very useful, but so far I've only encountered the [Nightshade Rabbit] and the [Wild Lizard], so I don't have any information of equal value..."

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Hey! Don't be so formal. Officially, we're all compatriots, and we should help each other through this difficult time; personally, with your skills, you'll encounter these monsters sooner or later and take them down. More friends, more options!'"

The two had become quite familiar with each other, and after a brief conversation, they didn't stand on ceremony and went about their respective business without any pretense.

Thanks to the challenges of his upbringing, Ling Xiao never hesitates to assume the worst about others and is always prepared for the worst when faced with problems.

Because he really had very little capital, pitifully little.

Therefore, due to his accumulated isolation and inferiority complex, very few people could confide in him.

Now, in this bizarre world, he can actually have pleasant conversations with people. Ling Xiao hasn't let his guard down, but he hopes to some extent that this will be a not-so-bad start...

The in-game store is quite important, and it's equally important for the struggling travelers right now.

It is divided into two parts: one is the rigid "pawnshop" provided by the system, and the other is the "stall" where explorers trade on their own.

The former offers the lowest-priced material recycling service and also sells all sorts of amazing gadgets.

The latter currently enjoys a high degree of freedom. Apart from the seller and buyer each having to pay a 5% storage fee and a handling fee, there are no other restrictions. Small "transactions" with a price not exceeding 20 copper coins can also be "tax-free".

Very user-friendly!

Quite free!

Even a weed, if you dare, can be priced at an outrageous hundreds of copper coins.

But first, you have to hand over five copper coins!

Just as Ling Xiao is seeing now, all sorts of "goods" are being put on the shelves one after another, and some quick-thinking explorers have already begun to devote themselves to the "street vending" business.

At the beginning of their journey, none of them had anything good.

Even if they were lucky enough to find a skill like [Flame Fist], they wouldn't trade it; their priority was always to save their own lives.

[Some smelly leather shoes (3 ominous copper coins)]

[Two pieces of unknown, low-quality wood (...)]

Slightly damp, pure white cotton socks...

The latest novel is first published here!

[Lemon and sea salt pleated skirt...]

[Academic style...]

"What the hell is all this?!"

Ling Xiao was amazed.

But then I thought about it again, and those who have become explorers are now ranked in the top 1% of the entire channel, so they must have something special about them.

In other words, he's definitely not a fool!

They must have their reasons for doing this.

Oh right!

No storage fee for items under 20cm – isn't that free backpack space?!

really!

With a self-deprecating laugh, Ling Xiao straightened his mindset and muttered to himself, "Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao! Don't underestimate the 'heroes' of the world! I'm not exactly a smart person to begin with, and if I make any more mistakes in my thinking, I'll just be digging my own grave and courting death!"

"From now on, think things through before you act. Think more, think more!"

Ling Xiao, who had already firmly planted the ideological imprint in his mind, suddenly snapped back to reality, his eyes widening in shock, almost dropping his jaw in disbelief.

Slightly damp, pure white cotton socks (10 ominous copper coins) - Sold out

No, buddy!?

People actually buy this?!

Ten copper coins, are they really not money?

He quickly opened the store's sales records, and the buyers inside gave the naive Ling Xiao a strong shock, but he also felt a sense of relief, as if "this is how it should be."

A nimble dog in the mountains

Case solved.

It was both unexpected and reasonable.

Ling Xiao, slightly numb from the shock, dared not look any longer, fearing that this guy might pull another nasty trick, so he simply returned to the pawnshop that the system offered to all explorers.

There are indeed a lot of useless things about me.

But Ling Xiao was more interested in the goods among them than in selling them off cheaply.

"Hiss... I just felt a little rich, but it instantly brought me back to reality that I'm still a pauper!"

Ling Xiao pursed his slightly dry lips and looked at everything one by one. He wanted to buy everything and try it, but he could only look at it because he didn't have enough money.

"However, this mysterious item that requires money to unlock should... be worth the money!"

"A mere copper coin, nothing to worry about!"

A faint light flickered, and the description of the mysterious item appeared before Ling Xiao's eyes.
