If you want to divide the levels, the remote city-state of Gelan is actually only second-tier in Selkalo. However, because it is adjacent to an area where monsters are highly active, it is very convenient to obtain materials here. The five-year trial is about to start again, so the dolls
The divisions are highly gathered here.
Prosthetic body modification and repair shops can be seen everywhere on the street. Prosthetics of various human body parts are hung high on the shop floor, and various "surgical tools" are arranged neatly on the table. Lu Yu felt like he had entered a slaughterhouse.
What surprised Lu Yu even more than the puppet maker's small workshop was the types of loans here.
There are all kinds of renovation loans, repair loans, and maintenance loans. The salesman's words are quite similar to the cheap loan advertisements that Lu Yu saw there. The core idea is only "Are you short of money? Come to me and pay!"
If you have conditions, you can choose to agree on a slightly formal loan, or if you have no conditions, you can start with installment loan sharking. Many people will jump in without hesitation even if they know it is a trap.
Piggy bank Herola saw Lu Yu stop and listen to the salesman's words, and asked curiously: "Don't you have these things?"
Mera did exist, but it was far from as mature as here. Lu Yu clearly realized that loans in Cerkalo were a complete and mature chain, covering almost all aspects.
If you want good materials, you have to pay extra.
If you want a good puppet master, you have to pay extra.
If you want to have a complete update and maintenance experience, you have to pay extra.
As long as you embark on the path of transforming yourself, you will never-endingly invest in this deep pit. Once you choose to stop investing, you may be eliminated by the new technology in a short time.
There are still more than forty days before the trial begins. Participants in Selkalo and even its surrounding countries who are eager to try are seizing the time to strengthen themselves. For ordinary transformers, they spend the least money to choose the best puppet master.
Crucially, before, Keno and Selisa were worried that they would not be able to catch the last train to the reconstruction site.
Out of curiosity, Lu Yu, Keno and Selisa came to a puppet workshop supported by several puppet masters. After paying the modification fee, Keno and Selisa successfully obtained their own dolls.
Reservation number - fifteen.
When the two were taken for a physical examination by the puppet master, Lu Yu was surprised to see the list of modification services listed by the puppet master's workshop. At the end of the list, it read "Instructions on modification risks: This workshop does not
Responsible for any modification accidents."
Seeing the line of words pointed by Lu Yu, Herola, who was gnawing on a piece of milk bread with both hands, reacted indifferently: "Oh, you said this, most puppet masters are like this, but they wrote it so honestly.
Not much."
Such calm words deeply shocked Sanmei Qiu, especially Lu Yu. On his side, which hospital would dare to say that "under any circumstances, the consequences of a failed operation will be borne entirely by the patient", then all that will be waiting for it will be eggs and...
Rotten vegetable leaves and grass are the banners of human life.
"Even though body modification is already a very mature puppet art, after all, the bodies are very different, and the severity of the rejection reaction is also..."
Lu Yu reminded: "People's physical fitness cannot be generalized?"
"Oh, this is a good summary. I think the puppet masters will like it very much." Herola didn't seem to like this kind of agreement, and her tone was shady. "In short, just throw the blame and reject the reaction. Anyway, the puppets
The status of a teacher is noble, and most of the time even if there are problems with the transformation, it is just a small punishment."
In short, under this agreement, most people with ordinary physical fitness only dare to carry out minimal modifications to their bodies, and will terminate it immediately once a slight rejection reaction occurs, while those who are slightly stronger can use the skill of the puppet master to
Explore the most extreme transformation with help.
The puppeteer and the reformer, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, they are running in both directions.
"Wait a minute, is this doll workshop a chain store?" Lu Yu only realized this when he saw the "city-state providing transformation and upgrading services" column on the list.
"Chain?" Herola chewed on this unfamiliar word for a while and then reacted, "It is indeed a chain store. They are not only in Geglan, but also in other city-states of Selkaro. Compared with other individual dolls,
Their puppet masters have better skills and lower risks, so they have always been well received. As long as you add money and meet the requirements of the chief puppet master, you can also get a named transformation, or the puppet master cooperates with the transformation, which is amazing.
Is this the right way to operate?”
Prosthetic modification has been played out by this group of puppeteers. They provide various functions to the modifiers one by one like slicing sausages. For example, in the modification related to the feet, the movement speed and instantaneity are increased.
The two items of explosive power improvement have been split. If you want to get them all, you can only add money.
The good news is that, according to Herola, this kind of service is only provided by a few puppet workshops with a chain, and it has only appeared for less than a few months. Under the premise of the existence of individual puppet masters, this method
Unsurprisingly, it was cold.
The bad news is that someone realized that selling DLC is more profitable than selling long-term services or the main body, and started to make basic attempts.
In the future, the puppet masters of Selkalo will definitely explore ways to divide various functions in more detail. This method will allow the modifiers to always pursue "power" and continuously send out their output.
Lu Yu suddenly felt like going home, but it wasn't the kind of home he wanted...
Shortly after leaving the puppet workshop, Coal Ball met the transformer on the street who was taken away by the doctor. It was said that he had a strong rejection reaction during the transformation process. Fortunately, the puppet master was very skilled and saved him.
"Which puppet master can be saved from severe rejection?"
"Give me an address, give me an address!"
Seeing many modifiers rushing to the puppet master's workshop where the accident occurred, Coan Qiu felt deeply that he was incompatible with Selkalog.
"During the beginning of the trial, the contestants are often not so rational. In order to make a splash, many people will undergo dangerous transformations in order to gain more advantages. Therefore, transformation accidents during the trial preparations can kill many people.
A gambler with a weak constitution." Herola curled her lips, "Just get used to it, you will see more in the future."
"Should I say that the puppet master is doing his best to save them?" Lu Yu said with a smile.
Herola said: "After all, the puppet master does not want to risk his own life. Although in the eyes of many puppet masters, the transformers only accumulate experience and provide material for money. Their life and death do not matter at all, but the puppet master also
Care about your own reputation."
"The title and experience of a puppet master with no fatal accidents can be used as a stepping stone for the secret meeting of the Selkaro Puppet Masters Association. There were ten of the original supreme puppet masters who had this 'record'."
trembling
"Furthermore, it is not easy to cultivate a fat sheep that constantly provides you with money and materials, and grovels and begs you. A puppet master who has regular customers definitely doesn't want to lose his customer base."
Everyone is busy transforming and preparing for war, and there are only a few people like Lu Yu and Herola who are just hanging around.
Qianqiu noticed that Herola would always stare at the food at the roadside stalls with longing expressions, but her hands were tightly clenched, subconsciously pressing against the pockets on her waist.
A snack only cost a few copper doll coins. As an elite mercenary, Herola could undoubtedly afford it, but she would rather look at it and drool...
"Eat."
Briquettes took the initiative to pay for a roasted scorpion, and Herola only made an awkward move before eating it happily.
"I know why your Keno and Selisa called you a piggy bank."
Herola corrected: "Among adventurers, many people also call me that."
She seemed to take the title as a compliment.
"Can I ask you what this piggy bank is for?"
"A scorpion can't buy this secret. Thank you for your treat. I feel good again!"
"You said everything has a price, how can you sell this secret?"
Herola was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Lu Yu to ask this. She waved her hand subconsciously: "What's so good about this kind of thing?"
"A bottle of the recovery potion I gave you that night."
"..."
"Two bottles."
"..."
"Forget it, ten bottles."
This method of increasing prices made Herola's eyes widen: "Are you crazy?"
"Things that you think are valuable are worthless to me. I thought you could understand this." Lulu's proud words were conveyed through Lu Yu's mouth.
Herola hesitated for a while: "Can I keep this offer for a while and change it when I want?"
"Can."
"Actually...it's not a secret worth looking forward to."
"It doesn't matter. Those potions are rubbish to me. They can satisfy my curiosity and at least have emotional value."
Herola was once again shocked by the high degree of confidence revealed in Lu Yu's arrogant speech. She became increasingly confused about this exotic potion master who suddenly appeared in Selkalo.
Knowing that Herola liked to eat, Mei Qiu specially found a tavern and ordered all the dishes before continuing the conversation.
"Tell me about the trial match. I don't know anything about its detailed rules and trial items."
"The Selkaro Streamer Trial is divided into regional and royal capital competitions. The winner of the regional competition will go to the royal capital for the second round of competition to fight for a place to enter the Doll Capital. As for the rules and trial items, only until the start of the competition
Only then will you realize that the theme of the trial is not fixed..."
“In the past six editions, there have been ‘back-to-back’ games that emphasized cooperation, ‘brave warriors’ that emphasized personal strength, ‘wise men’ that emphasized solving puzzles, and ‘mad wars’ that emphasized fighting.”
"Under the big trial theme, the trial items are always strange. For example, in the warrior theme, challengers are required to enter a large area full of mechanisms and dolls, defeat the designated wandering dolls, and successfully exit.
Trial area. There have also been trials in which the protected doll passed through the trial area and the trial failed if the doll was damaged."
"The theme of the trial is drawn up by the Supreme Puppet Masters, and no one can know it in advance. Therefore, there have always been many people betting on 'transformation', hoping that the current trial project will hit the focus of their own transformation, and the previous one
This year indeed gave birth to a partial science king who was able to enter the Doll Capital." Herola said with a hint of envy.
Why does Lu Yu sound like... a question?
Apart from anything else, being able to make a winning bet and persist until the end is a skill.
"The only thing worth mentioning is back-to-back. The trial project under this theme is the only one that requires teamwork so far. The content of the last trial was 'two people team up to defeat the other two people'."
A simple and crude doubles battle."
"Other than that, it should be rumored that the theme of the first trial was chosen, but was temporarily rejected by the Supreme Puppet Master. No one knows the specific content of the trial, but the name
, I don’t think this will be a wonderful trial. Therefore, this year, the trial theme may also be a new theme besides the ones that have already appeared.”
