——Fan'an City——The bone-chilling north wind howled in the entire central square, seeming to want to freeze all living creatures. When Chen Xing just appeared here, he shuddered and shivered all over. Fan'an City's
The weather was extremely bad, and it was icy and snowy. If you were not prepared for the cold, anyone might be frozen by the cold wind while walking.
In a city like this, the players who can live in Fan'an City are probably freaks.
Chen Xing shrank his neck, leaned into his cotton-padded coat, and looked around at the same time. The thick cotton-padded coat he had just bought from the Gaia City grocery store made his movements much more inconvenient. Moreover, it was a new arrival, and the cold weather still made Chen Xing feel uncomfortable.
Extremely uncomfortable.
"Hurry to the grocery store." Chen Xing knew that there is a kind of [cold protection beads] sold in Fan'an City's groceries, but they are expensive. Each piece costs at least one hundred gold coins, but it only lasts for one day. However, having this kind of [cold protection beads]
】, Chen Xing can change to his previous appearance, instead of being wrapped in thick cotton clothes and having trouble moving his feet and hands like he is now.
Fan'an City is quite large, the second largest city after Gaia City, but it is vast and sparsely populated. After walking for a long time, there were only a few players.
"Players who can stay in Fan'an City are simply a miracle." During the closed beta, Chen Xing had not been to Fan'an City because the high consumption and environment here made him unable to afford the injury. However, this time due to the requirements of the mission
, he also personally experienced the journey of life in Fan'an City.
Because of the weather in Fan'an City, players who don't have enough pre-cooling will suddenly be frozen while walking and die. In addition, there seems to be no resources except ice and snow here, so no players will focus on this place. At the same time,
If you want to avoid being frozen, you have to spend 100 gold coins per person every day, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan, to buy [cold protection beads] to stay safely in Fan'an City for a day. It can be said that the cost per person is even more terrifying than Gaia City.
Of course, players who have prepared enough for the cold do not need to buy [Cold Protection Beads] in Fan'an City. They just need to wrap themselves up like a rice dumpling like Chen Xing. But in this way, players don't need to fight when they go out.
It's weird, just let it be a target for monsters. The tighter it is wrapped, the more restricted the character's movements will be. This is really not a place for people to stay.
Fortunately, the official has announced the situation in Fan'an City a long time ago, so the people who still come to live in Fan'an City are basically freaks, those who have too much money and no place to burn, or people who others think have brain problems.
Therefore, players who usually come to Fan'an City have to come because of missions.
Chen Xing trembled all the way to the grocery store. He looked up at the word "Grocery" and plunged into the grocery store. The boss inside was quite relaxed. He was lying on a rocking chair and smoking a large pipe leisurely.
Swallowing clouds and puffing out mist.
However, when he saw Chen Xing, the grocery store owner quickly put down the big smoker, walked to the counter, smiled and showed his yellow teeth to Chen Xing, and said: "Outside adventurer, you are really a brave man, Fan'an City has always been
There is no one here, so since you came to my place, do you think you came here for [the cold bead]?"
"Yeah." Chen Xing responded lightly.
"Thank you for your patronage, a 100 gold coin." The grocery store owner looked at Chen Xing with a smile, and at the same time, like a magic trick, he took out an exquisite small box, which contained [Cold Protection Beads].
Chen Xing asked for a box, then paid gold coins and bought the [Cold Protection Beads].
"Welcome to visit next time." The grocery store showed yellow teeth and smiled. Then he left the counter, sat back in the rocking chair, picked up the big smoker under the chair, and started to smoke again while shaking it leisurely.
Already.
Chen Xing glanced at him, then opened the and saw [Cold Protection Beads].
[Cold Protection Bead] Introduction: The box containing [Cold Protection Bead], after opening it, can get a [Cold Protection Bead] to resist the cold.
Chen Xing clicked it, and the system prompted: [Are you sure to open it?] Chen Xing reached out and clicked in the pop-up window. The system prompt sounded again: [You have obtained a [Cold Protection Bead], which is valid for 24 hours.
.] After obtaining the [Cold Protection Bead], Chen Xing felt that the cold all over his body disappeared without a trace in an instant. Instead, he felt a little warm. After all, before he came here, he wanted to prevent himself from being frozen in the city while running.
He purposely spent a lot of money on the clothes he wore, and now the feeling of coldness was gone. He wore so much, so naturally he felt stuffy.
Chen Xing put away all the extra clothes on his body, leaving only his own equipment. In this way, Chen Xing returned to his gray and black appearance. Especially the [Pretender's Cloak] made him more like an assassin, but
, a sword behind Chen Xing, but it makes him look a bit nondescript, because assassins do not carry long swords.
Chen Xing steadily walked out of the grocery store and opened the at the same time, looking for Hanli, the traveling merchant among the NPCs. However, after browsing several times and even searching text, he could not find the existence of traveling merchant Hanli.
"It seems that Hanli may not be an NPC in Fan'an City anymore." After Chen Xing figured it out, he decided to go back to the grocery store owner and ask.
Unexpectedly, the grocery store owner knew that not many people came to Fan'an City on weekdays, so he just sold Chen Xing ten boxes of [Cold Protection Beads] before telling Chen Xing the location of Hanli.
"Hey." Chen Xing left the grocery store with a wry smile and ten more [Cold Protection Beads] on his body.
"Maybe we have to stay for a while. There's nothing wrong with preparing more." Fortunately, Chen Xing had a lot of money, so he could stay here for eleven days.
Chen Xing opened the again and ran to the fishing port according to the coordinates prompted by the grocery store owner.
——Fish Port——This is where Fan'an City fishes and trades fish. It is one of the busiest places in Fan'an City. Chen Xing looked at dozens of large and small fishing boats, with activities on them.
NPC fishermen.
Looking at the NPC fishermen on one of the fishing boats, who were wearing thin clothes and hesitatingly pulling the fishing nets filled with fish, Chen Xing said with emotion: "It's so irritating to see people compare to each other."
All NPCs in An City are immune to the cold, but outsiders like them have to spend a lot of money, 100 gold coins, just to stay here for a day.
Chen Xing scanned the surroundings of the fish port, and soon found an NPC wearing a thick bearskin coat next to a fish stall. He also wore a bearskin hat on his head, and carried a bamboo basket on his back, which was full of
Got something.
Seeing him, Chen Xing's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Found it."
According to the description of the grocery store owner, this NPC fit the description exactly, so Chen Xing knew that he was Hanli, the walking merchant. So Chen Xing ran towards him quickly, and Hanli, the walking merchant, was interacting with the proprietress of the fish stall.
