Even in Zaun, merchant NPCs will not take the initiative to attack players unless the players take the lead in attacking.
What these Zaun people did was nothing more than a warning to outsiders or players.
——Don’t look for trouble here.
Lin Luo looked at each other without fear.
Sure enough, half a minute later, the giant Holson showed a ferocious smile:
"Haha, you are so courageous! But a timid fellow cannot survive in Zaun. Do you have money? Come and buy things from me?"
"Is this okay?"
Lin Luo took out some blue essence.
Probably because Zaun is a city abandoned by the mainland, the blue essence commonly used in the mainland is not easy to use here.
Giant Holson thought for a while and said:
"Hehe, of course, but I need 100 blue essences. If you can't afford it, you can go to the wild rat gathering place in the east and collect a hundred wild rat teeth."
Lin Luo said without thinking:
"I produce blue essence."
After the transaction, Lin Luo received a purple-grade ‘breathing purification device’.
[Item: Respiratory purification device]
【Level:30】
[Specialty area: Zuan]
[Grade: Purple]
[Description: Wearing this device can purify the industrial poisonous gas that pervades Zaun]
[Negative attribute: When you wear this device, your charm value will be reduced by three points]
[Evaluation: No one likes to wear a steel bump covering half of their face.]
After equipping the breathing device, Lin Luo opened the panel and looked at it. It was so ugly that he quickly hid the appearance.
Charm value has no effect on players, only NPCs, and almost no NPCs in Zaun care about charm value, so this negative attribute is nothing.
Lin Luo put on the breathing evolution device and left the store immediately.
He came to a huge bar opposite the store, standing tall and lit with fiery red lights.
…
This is what lower Zaun is most famous for:
Shimmer Bar!
This is also the second reason why he bought a respiratory purifier.
Lin Luo had carefully observed just now that everyone entering the bar must wear a breathing evolution device.
'Remember a place, the Glimmer Bar, any news you want can be found here, provided you have enough ability.'
Before that, Lin Luo knew that he was going to Zaun soon, so while waiting for the red poem for an hour, he ran many tasks in Pi City and studied many things in Zaun.
A sentence floated through his mind, which was mentioned to him by an NPC from the Piltover Chamber of Commerce.
"The Breathing Station is the lifeblood of the lower levels of Zaun, and the Shimmer Bar is the most important place in the Breathing Station. This is the key for players to accept the mission."
Lin Luo strode towards the door of the bar.
Outside the bar door stood two tall men on the left and right, wielding butterfly knives in their left hands and holding nunchucks in their right hands.
"Wait a minute! Where is this person from? He looks so unfamiliar?"
Both NPCs have level 30 purple names. They can be said to be minions among minions in Zaun.
Lin Luo glanced at the two of them:
"Just here, adventurer."
The two NPCs looked at each other and laughed arrogantly:
"You brat, you just came here and don't you know how to pay for protection? Or..."
The laughter of the two people soon turned into fear. They saw a sharp arrow pointed at them, and the terrible threat made them suffocate.
"How much does the protection fee cost?"
Lin Luo drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the nunchaku to kill Matt.
"No, no, no... powerful people... don't need protection money..."
The two guys quickly backed away. Lin Luo put away his bow and walked into them without changing his expression.
As far as he knew, the boss behind this Shimmer Bar was currently the biggest gang boss in Zaun.
The people of Zaun are all intricately intertwined, and everyone has some relationship with everyone. Unless you have the power to uproot the entire Zaun, it is best not to cause trouble here, otherwise trouble will continue to come.
[Tip: You entered the Shimmer Bar, and you obtained the achievement: Carnival Drinker]
[Achievement reward: You can enter and leave the Shimmer Bar at will.]
[Achievement reward: Your first glass of wine will be free.]
The moment he entered the Shimmer Bar, Lin Luo felt a dynamic wave of sound coming towards his face. The crazy flashing punk music and the roar full of heavy metal aroused people's emotions. The strong smell of inferior alcohol filled the air, and the atmosphere was full of excitement.
There were people of all kinds of races sitting at bars and tables, large and small.
No one felt wrong because of Lin Luo's arrival.
They were completely immersed in alcohol and loud music, like drunken revelers.
Lin Luo walked forward quickly, his eyes drifting over the heads of each NPC. If there was an NPC worth chatting with, he was sure to get a lucrative mission.
Finally, he came to the bar of the bar, but the owner of the bar surprised him because he didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the bar.
The bar owner is a tall, quiet, dark-haired beauty wearing a close combat uniform.
However, her silence was not as quiet as a water lily, but rather eerie, giving the impression of a predator waiting quietly.
It is worth mentioning that her entire right arm is completely composed of a dark blue prosthetic limb, and Lin Luo can see the specific information of that prosthetic limb.
[Alchemy Prosthesis: Crazy Snake Second Generation Prosthesis]
[Silver level prosthetic body special effect (crazy snake venom): It will cause huge poison damage to you, increase the damage you receive during the poisoning period by 30%, and drop 20% of the maximum health every minute
, lasting five minutes.]
[Evaluation: This is the product of second-generation alchemy technology. Crazy Snake Aman is a beautiful but dangerous blue poisonous snake. 】
"Is this the new version of equipment..."
Lin Luo thought for a while and suddenly realized an overlooked fact.
That is, before he came, Jiawen mentioned to him the Hex Technology of Pi City. Admittedly, this is indeed an important series of equipment in this version.
But is it possible that because he has only been to Pi City and has never been to Zaun, he doesn't know that Zaun is actually developing the same alchemy technology...
This alchemy series is also a new version of equipment, and it is a series of equipment that is almost as strong as the Hex series, but completely equivalent?
"It must be so. In addition to the Hex series, this version also has the Alchemy series!"
Lin Luo stared unblinkingly at the prosthetic limb, the 4500-point horror panel, and the silver-level prosthetic special effects.
If this equipment is put on by players, won't it take off directly?
The most important thing is that this prosthetic limb seems to have no wearing restrictions.
If you can explode it yourself...
After all, he was a player, Lin Luo subconsciously thought of this.
Unexpectedly, the blue arm suddenly lifted up, stretched out, and gently picked up Lin Luo's chin.
Lin Luo heard a deep voice, and the quiet-looking black-haired beauty said in a very low tone:
"The feeling you give me is very strange. Is this your first time in Shimmer Bar, or your first time in Zaun?"
After this voice and this action appeared.
Lin Luo suddenly felt a fierce murderous intention arise spontaneously.
Not from the brunette beauty itself, but from everywhere!
The music in the entire bar suddenly became quiet, and the flashing lights suddenly stopped. All the people drinking and reveling, those sitting at the wine table, those smoking with their backs to themselves, and the bartender delivering drinks in the distance, all raised their heads and said with a
He stared at himself with an unkind look.
Good guy, is this really the case again?
Lin Luoneng was sure that this was how the Zaun people greeted each other.
"It's not important. I'm here. There's only one problem."
Lin Luo calmly held the opponent's blue prosthetic arm. The touch was not like that of a rough mechanical arm. Instead, it was no different from skin. The manufacturing process was extremely exquisite, except for the obvious features of the prosthetic limb at the joints and the whole body.
The skin color is almost exactly the same as the human body.
But Lin Luo felt a force that was ready to attack, and the opponent was ready to attack.
"Don't be angry. I just want to find out how to get ancient silver coins. I'm not here to cause trouble."
Lin Luo slowly pressed down on the opponent's prosthetic leg.
Hearing those last words, the solid atmosphere in the bar instantly relaxed, the dynamic music started playing, the flashing lights continued, and those people continued to do their own thing.
The black-haired beauty smiled, took back the prosthetic leg and said:
"Boy, you are not the first person to come here to inquire about information."
She said meaningfully:
"However, you may be the first person to successfully find out the information. I have heard of your name, Lin, but you have to put forward conditions that make my heart beat."
Lin Luo's heart moved. It turned out that other players had also been here.
However, according to what the other party said, although other players have been here, they have not been able to find out the information successfully.
Lin Luo got straight to the point:
"What terms do you want?"
The other party showed a very confused expression, very similar to the black question mark emoticon, and said:
"Isn't that the question I asked you?"
Lin Luo was stunned.
Then he realized that the other players might be stumped by this problem.
All players are new here, and it is impossible to predict what the other party wants in advance. This question can only be answered by slowly understanding Zaun.
But Lin Luo narrowed his eyes and thought of the preparations he had made before coming.
Although he couldn't predict the situation at this time, he definitely knew that the Zaun people were not that easy to talk to, so he spent an hour preparing a lot before.
"As far as I know, the real boss behind your bar has connections with many Piltover guards, right?"
He thought for a moment and suddenly said:
"I have seen before that in the dance corridor on the top floor of Zaun, people from your gang will meet with Piltover guards and the Chamber of Commerce. I don't know exactly what they will do, but I can introduce you to a new friend.
I know people from Piltover, is this answer enough?"
Hearing Lin Luo's words, the other party suddenly narrowed his eyes:
"When did you go to Piltover?"
Lin Luo shrugged:
"I was just passing by and stayed for less than half a day, nothing else."
The other party looked at Lin Luo carefully for several times, and suddenly showed a dangerous and stunning smile, like a poisonous snake in full bloom:
"Very good, my name is Aman. My enemies call me Crazy Snake Aman. I am very satisfied with your answer. Now I want to know, who is the person you want to introduce to me?"
Lin Luo said in a deep voice:
"That man's name is Winter. His family business is smelting steel, and as far as I know, he has been conducting secret transactions with Zaun, but the transaction is not pleasant."
Before Lin Luo came, he checked all the relevant information about the characters. With his reputation and status, it was a hundred times easier to check things in Pi City than Zuan, so it didn't take much time at all.
This is also what players must do when dealing with unknown situations, fully grasp their own advantages and amplify all their known information.
The Winter he spoke of was the excited star-chasing young man on the Hex airship before, which left a deep impression on him.
After investigating, he discovered that the chamber of commerce in Winter's home was smelting and selling steel.
Steel is an important tool in a city with advanced technology, and for a city like Zaun that lacks resources and can only use discarded steel thrown down by Pi City, it is something more precious than life.
Crazy Snake Aman's dark pupils shrank, and she whispered:
"Are you sure? You know the consequences of lying to me!"
Lin Luo nodded. Crazy Snake Aman thought about it carefully. She opened a door behind her and waved to Lin Luo:
"Let's talk about the rest alone. Come in."
[Tip: You have opened the favorability of Crazy Snake Aman: you have activated her main mission: the deal with Shangcheng.]
[Task description: Aman is the boss of Shimmer Bar on the surface. She controls nearly 50% of the lower-level forces in Zaun. Her immediate boss has been conducting secret transactions with people in the upper city. Your appearance made her realize
What, please make her favorability towards you increase to friendly.】
[Task reward: When Aman’s reward reaches a friendly level with you, you will open all the main and side tasks in Shimmer Bar, and she will mix drinks for you for free.]
[Description: Aman’s viciousness is on the same level as her bartending skills.]
Lin Luo felt happy and quickly followed A Man into the room full of neon lights.
With a bang, the door closed tightly.
Another expressionless bartender took Aman's place.
…
"Going in?"
"I saw with my own eyes that he went in!"
"Guigui, what do you mean by a big boss? This is the big, medium and big boss."
"I took a look and found that a total of eight bosses from the legion have been here. This one is the only one who can enter the landlady's room. He is worthy of being the Goddess of Luo."
"...Wait, what on earth are you talking about?"
"Aren't we talking about surveillance?"
"Yeah! What do you think?"
It turned out that just after Lin Luo entered A Man's room, several well-hidden players suddenly appeared in the bar. Since they did not activate any attribute aura at all, and the noisy environment, even Lin Luo did not notice them.
They were obviously here to keep a lookout.
The purpose is very simple, just to see how other people get the task, and then they can steal it.
"What should I do? I can't see what happens next."
"If the boss can enter that NPC's house, he can probably take over 80% of the matter."
"What should we do?"
"No matter what, just inform the boss and that's it."
…
"You didn't lie to me just now, did you? You have to know the consequences of making me angry, which is very terrible."
Aman suddenly turned around and said in a cold tone.
Lin Luo said simply and straightforwardly:
"I'm different from those adventurers outside. I can help your boss with the transaction in the upper city, and as a reward, you can just provide me with some information and convenience, such as... how to get ancient silver coins as quickly as possible, this transaction
Fair, right?”
Aman smiled faintly:
"certainly."
Lin Luo nodded and said:
"All I need is a pen and paper."
Aman said a little doubtfully:
"that is it?"
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart. She really couldn't imagine the use of paper and pen in a place like Za'an.
After Lin Luo got the paper and pen, he first signed a big name at the top, and then wrote a small line of words at the bottom.
Aman crossed his arms and suddenly looked over, but Lin Luo turned to avoid it, and then quickly folded it up.
"Please give this letter to Winter, the third young master of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. As far as I know, he often goes to the dance corridor. This letter can make your boss's transactions with him more convenient and stable. The premise is that you don't
Gotta peek."
Lin Luo said:
"If you read the content, it may not be effective. You understand the seriousness of the matter."
The look of suspicion on Aman's face became even stronger, and he took the folded piece of paper.
"I believe you once, if you dare to trick me..."
Aman gave Lin Luo a stern warning with a "you know" look, and then turned away:
"I'll give you an answer in half an hour. Wait for me back in the bar."
Lin Luo watched her leave quickly, her eyes lingering on the long black hair that had hung down past her waist for a few seconds. As Aman moved, the waterfall-like long black hair was like a hissing and spitting snake message.
Like a poisonous snake.
Lin Luo quickly came to his senses and found this place a bit interesting.
"Tsk, tsk, this place in Zu'an is really interesting... But it seems that the fun has not begun yet."
Lin Luo touched his chin, opened the door and walked out.
The bartender next to him said in a lukewarm tone:
"Lin, Sister Aman has spoken and told you not to go anywhere within half an hour. Also, drinks are free for you today."
Lin Luo ignored him and walked straight to a quiet corner. He looked at the wine list leisurely and ordered everything he could order. The drinks were free anyway, so if he didn't use it, he would be sorry for himself.
Five minutes later, the drinks were not even served, but were already piled on the table.
Lin Luo looked up and found that the bartender was looking at him with a murderous look, as if to say, if you don't finish your drink today, let's see if I can give you something good to eat.
"No need to do it anymore."
Lin Luo said this.
The bartender left expressionlessly. During this period, Lin Luo opened the equipment map. Sure enough, he found a very hidden second page. After clicking on it, another equipment map with a completely different style and shape popped up!
"I guessed it right. In addition to Hex, this version also has alchemy technology series equipment!"
Lin Luo took the level 35 Hex third-generation technological bow as an example, compared it with the same level 35 Alchemy third-generation technological bow, and found that the basic attributes were exactly the same.
The only difference is the equipment effect.
The special effects of Hex Technology and Alchemy Technology are completely opposite, but if you just compare the data without actual combat, you really can't tell which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
And it is worth mentioning that once the player chooses the Piltover camp, he will no longer be able to equip the Alchemy series equipment, and conversely, once he chooses the Zaun camp, he will no longer be able to equip the Hex series equipment.
In other words, after players choose a camp, they can only wear one series!
Lin Luo's pupils shrank when he saw this, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the mission Jace had given to his camp. Once he accepted the mission, he could only use Hex series equipment, which undoubtedly narrowed the road!
"Damn it...it's a good thing I learned a lesson and didn't rush to take sides!"
