Ark, please stop getting mad at the host's operators

"The other buttons haven't been unlocked yet, and I don't have any other way to get rewards. Isn't it a bit too ridiculous if the difficulty is raised to the point of being stuck now?"

Li Ji stroked his chin and looked at the gray button that the operator was looking for. "If this button is not turned on, and I fail and cause the world to end...how can unscrupulous merchants make money?"

He was quite curious about what was inside. After all, all his operators were now at full strength. Could the operator search be about finding special operators for this world?

He has only been in this world for a short time, and he doesn't know much about the overall strength of the special operators in this world.

The only few we know about are the teams that are high up on the leaderboards.

For example:

The "Xuanxian Road" of Yan State, the "Sabbath of Disaster" of Columbia, the "Royalty of Heaven" of Dong State, the "Sorrow of Iris" of Ursus, the "Crown of the Queen" of Victoria, the "Daytime Banner" of Gaul, the "Oasis" of Sargon...

These are almost the top few teams, and can be said to be the faces of each country.

In this age of constant war and disaster, the bankruptcy of the idol economy has also prompted these frontline heroes to become "stars" in people's minds.

Some operators hate being "idols", while others flock to them.

"Alas, no matter what time it is, even at the moment of life and death, you can't avoid these things."

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but sigh.

"Forget it. I have to take on missions. I can't rely on these to get through to the end."

Li Ji thought about it for a while and decided to start the mission at this stage. "Presses, accept the second stage mission."

[The second phase of the mission has started]

[Task 0: Form a team to complete a raid operation, the difficulty level is not lower than the previous operation (1/), task reward: open the operator search function. ]

【任务二：直播一场明日方舟游戏，并至少有五千名观众观看。（0/5000），任务奖励：任意干员解锁凭证X1。】【时间限制：72：00：00】

[Novice Task 3000: Live broadcast a game of Arknights and receive at least 0 yuan in tips from strangers. (3000/3), Task Reward: Sanity Potion x.]

【Tips: 1. If the time limit is exceeded, the task will be considered failed; 2. The judging criteria for unfamiliar viewers are set by the system, and all interpretation rights belong to the system. 3. All data are based on the previous live broadcast. 4. If you have any questions about the task, you can click the report button in the upper right corner to provide feedback. 】

【This system wishes the doctor a happy life. 】

"what?"

When Li Ji saw the three tasks, he actually didn't feel anything. There were many raids simpler than 4-4, and he could easily complete the task by just choosing any one.

Although it will be a little more difficult to get 5,000 viewers than before, judging from the last live broadcast, even if there are not tens of thousands of people for the next live broadcast, 5,000 viewers should still be able to be gathered.

But what does the 3000 yuan tip from this stranger mean?

"Presesse, what are the criteria for judging unfamiliar audiences?"

[Stranger audience: has no interaction with you, has not given you gifts, has not played SC, is not a regular audience's smurf, is not a doctor's main or smurf...]

After going through a series of patch-like conditions put by Preseth, Li Ji only understood one thing.

"Damn it, luckily I planted the seeds quickly this time, otherwise, the difficulty of my mission would have been sky-high!"

Li Ji felt scared just thinking about it. If he failed to control the data at this stage, which led to a crisis contract and the invasion of some underworld monsters, he would really become a sinner for all eternity.

No matter what he does in his future live broadcasts, he will never be so indulgent again.

"Anyway, there's still some time before the next live broadcast, so let's take a look at what's in the procurement center right now."

After saying that, Li Ji also exited the task interface.

He walked towards the door of the purchasing center next to him, and the words "Purchasing Center" flashed with a bright white light again. The rusty door slowly opened with a stiff sound, as if an elderly man wanted to stand up to greet his friend.

Compared with the environment of the command platform outside, this place looked like no one had used it for decades, and the mottled walls were filled with dampness and rust.

"Why do I feel like this Rhodes Island is... like a dangerous building. Will a dilapidated ventilation duct fall from the ceiling and crush me to death while I'm walking?"

[Please don't worry. Since this is the first time that the doctor has opened the purchasing center, the environment cannot be cleaned for the time being. After the doctor finishes his trip, he can fill out the questionnaire and the system will clean it again and classify the items. ]

As if the system heard Li Ji's muttering, it responded to Li Ji immediately.

"..."

Can't they just clean it in advance? This customer service is terrible...

It’s indeed YJ’s system, even after traveling through time, it’s still exactly the same.

First serve the crappy stuff for everyone to try, then conduct a survey and gradually improve it. This game really is Arknights!

Do you have such an Arknights?

It's really square and Zhouzhou.

But Li Ji, who was still complaining in the previous second, almost couldn't walk when he reached the end and saw the goods.

"Fuck!"

Chapter 10: Please, let me spend money

Li Ji originally thought that it would still be an electronic product.

But looking at the physical goods displayed in this out-of-place moldy shop, I was still a little surprised.

Especially the fan in front of him that looked a bit worn out, which made Li Ji exclaim in amazement.

Anyone who has played the Roguelike game Arknights should be familiar with it.

【Old cattail leaf fan】

Just seeing the name, Li Ji's eyes widened!

"This place actually sells collectibles! If I can customize my purchases, wouldn't I be invincible?!"

While being amazed at the old palm-leaf fan, there was also a huge object behind it that attracted Li Ji's attention.

It was a huge machine painted yellow and made of tractor-like parts. There was a thick gun barrel in the sharp serrations at the front, making it look like a brutal cyber beast.

【Giant ugly thing】

He was once the final boss in the "Return of the Jungle Warrior" event in Arknights.

As a Boss, its strength is indeed not that good. After all, it is an early Boss, and its numbers and mechanisms are not that scary after all.

The only things that are a little tricky are the group stun caused by the explosion and the unimpeded escape of the high priest afterwards.

But the most important thing is: since there is a 'huge ugly thing' here, it proves that there will be other things of the same type!

Although most of the bosses with vehicles and machines are pretty rubbish, such as the first-stage heavy boat called "Material Antagonist" of the aerial Jeston and "Pan Bridge" of the water Jeston...

But there are also strange prizes, such as...

Steam Knight!

No one can resist a Gundam!

When Li Ji thought of this, he began to look around, searching for other huge figures in the warehouse, but the largest thing in the space seemed to be an armored vehicle.

There was no sign of Steam Knight at all.

"Didn't unlock it... or didn't plan to give it to me?"

Li Ji was a little disappointed. He turned on the lit screen beside him, which showed a page similar to the purchasing center in the game.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

The place where he is now is a general merchandise store.

All the commodities that can be purchased above are the ones he sees before his eyes.

[General Merchandise Store Guide: The merchandise store will refresh 5 merchandise slots every day, one of which is a special price merchandise slot. Please seize the opportunity. ]

"It's random every day, let me see what I can buy."

Li Ji looked down and the first reward that appeared was one of the rewards for the previous task: Sanity Potion.

[Sanity Potion]: Price: 10 Originium.

Purchase limit: 3

Use: Restores the operator's SAN value to 100%.

——One of the Doctor's favorite drinks. One bottle refreshes the mind, two bottles keep you from getting tired, and three bottles make you immortal! But the Doctor no longer needs to regain his sanity. If he can't rest, he might not be the Doctor, right?

"Isn't it for me?"

Li Ji only reacted at this time. He seemed to have no sanity value. At first he felt something was strange, as if something was missing next to the combat button.

It turns out that the rational value is missing!

That is to say, this thing is for operators?

Judging from the introduction and usage effects, when an operator fights, it is equivalent to doing infrastructure work, and what is lost is the SAN value.

Either wait for the operator to rest and recover, or take the sanity potion directly to restore the operator's SAN value and continue working.

"Good stuff, but isn't 10 Originium a bit expensive? After all, this is all the money I have right now... Let's take a look first."

After roughly figuring out the purpose of the sanity potion, Li Ji decided to continue looking down.

[Giant Ugly Thing] Price: 5000 Originium.

Purchase limit: 1

Use: Drive the giant ugly thing.

——Zumama's masterpiece, a huge mechanical monster driven by the High Priest. It attacks both at long range and short range, and can easily destroy giant mushrooms and wooden stakes. Normal engineers would probably find it hard to imagine how such a machine could move, but it just moved. However, the operators may not like to drive this thing, and even Ms. Anaconda refused.

"5000 Originium, you might as well sell me out!"

And according to the introduction at the end, it says that the operators don’t like this thing very much, and they don’t even use Anaconda.

I'm afraid it means telling him that he can't give it to the operators.

That is to say, the only one who can be used is Li Ji.

If he had 5000 Originium, he could buy anything else but this thing.

"I feel like 5000 of these 4800 Originium are bonuses from Gundam Dream!"

After seeing the price of Dachou, Li Ji felt for the first time that the anchor point effect was really scary.

The Sanity Potion that I thought was a bit expensive just now suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye after seeing the big ugly one! I even had the urge to buy it directly.

He quickly shook his head, denying the values that had almost led him astray, and continued to look down.

But this thing can be sold for 5000 Originium, so the price of the old cattail leaf fan...

He continued to look down, somewhat afraid to think.

[Originium Art Potion] Price: 800 Originium.

Purchase limit: 1

Use: Gain a random Originium skill.

——Every master has his own strengths and weaknesses. Me? I know a little bit of everything.

The next thing is what Li Ji has been thinking about.

[Old Cattail Leaf Fan] Price: 50000 Originium.

Purchase limit: 1

Carry: For each operator with a different profession in the battle formation, the attack power of all operators is increased by 10%.

——When it rained for days, the old Taoist priest of Da Yan would complain to his relatives and friends that his knees could not stand the cold and dampness, and then he would fan his palm-leaf fan casually... the clouds and fog would disperse, the rain would retreat, and the weather would clear up. He would have to teach this trick to his young apprentice who worked in the Dali Temple next time.

"F**K (telegraph sound), 5 Originium!"

Although Li Ji was prepared for the high price of the old cattail leaf fan, he still cursed after seeing the price.

You have to know that he only gives 10 Originium for one task. If you want to buy the old cattail leaf fan, you have to complete 5000 tasks, 5000 tasks!!!

But when he calmed down, he felt it was not that outrageous.

This is an old palm-leaf fan. Its simple effect reveals a hint of extraordinaryness. Just a few simple words can allow the team to gain a maximum of 80% attack power.

Thinking about it this way, this pricing... seems to be a little reasonable.

"But... I really have to pay for this with my life!"

Li Ji continued to look at the last product with tears in his eyes.

[Weapon Forging Table of the Year] Price: 4000 Originium (-60%)
