Chapter 67 New permissions, trading section (to be listed
It's half past three in the morning.
A night without anyone.
After Cheng An went down the mountain, he returned to the 'present time' and arrived at Baichi Village.
After that, we walked all the way and arrived at the familiar Baiyan Town, the familiar Xingxin Internet Cafe, and the small hotel next door.
After opening the room, Cheng An sat at the table, turned on the computer with a little anticipation, entered keywords, and waited for the restart.
"Welcome to the exclusive forum of Freemasonry!"
The iconic welcome message, as well as the following three basic rules.
"I wonder if this update will bring me any new features? If it is still an opportunity to change the name of the forum, then it is meaningless."
Cheng Anluo had some expectations.
As he expected, the forum was completely silent.
The last reply time for all posts is still at midnight on the 20th.
Then, after the screen shook slightly, several dialog boxes popped up:
"Detection login completed!
"Your authority is [Founder]!
"The number of star gates has been changed. Your number of completed star gates is: [3/3 times]!
"You have met the conditions for opening [Trade Post]. The forum has been locked and is being updated. It will be opened in six hours!"
It will take so long this time...
Moreover, transaction post? How to trade? Make an appointment online or meet offline?
In this case, it would conflict with the greatest advantage of Freemasonry, "privacy protection".
Cheng An was slightly stunned, and he was not very optimistic about this new function.
But that's okay, he's been training and studying like crazy lately and hasn't had much rest.
Just in time, I can get some sleep now.
In his sleep, Cheng An unconsciously recalled the results of the past few days of training, trying to integrate the memories of these combat skills into the real world.
With breathing techniques as an aid, his sleep quality was not bad even when he was reminiscing.
In a flash, daylight has arrived, and the sun is three poles high.
Cheng An got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face. When he was done, he used his mobile phone which was turned on after being fully charged overnight. He was about to order breakfast, but several text messages were sent to him, which were sent by Judy yesterday.
"What else can the little rich woman do with me? Invite me to dinner?"
Cheng An touched his chin and decided to ignore her for now.
He turned on the computer, and a huge prompt flashed on the screen:
"update completed"
"The forum lock has ended, please choose whether to open the forum now"
"whether"
Cheng An looked at the time, it was already early ten o'clock, and almost laughed out loud.
It is estimated that the group of universal walkers in the Freemasonry who visit forums every day have long since waited for the chrysanthemums to wither.
After all, as long as anyone comes into contact with Freemasonry, it is impossible for anyone to use ordinary forums to discuss it. The security and confidentiality factors are not at the same level at all.
"Yes!" Cheng An chose yes.
"The forum restarted successfully."
This time, contrary to Cheng An's expectation, there was no option to rename.
But it's not a big deal, I didn't plan to change my name.
I opened the takeout and ordered a large portion of white porridge, ten steamed buns, three meat buns, two fried dough sticks, and four braised eggs.
While waiting, the screen has gone through a round of garbled characters and blue screens, and returned to the login interface again.
Cheng An was familiar with it. After entering the forum, he carefully observed the interface and found that there were indeed some changes.
[Chat room] [Sharing of knowledge] [Free discussion] [Trading section]
The first three existed before, while the trading section only appeared after Cheng An completed the third Star Gate.
“I hope it’s not some useless offline trading system.”
Cheng An clicked on the [Transaction Section], which was a section without any posts.
As soon as he came in, a pop-up window appeared:
"Please set the energy value required to initiate a transaction post:——"
Energy value?
Cheng An was stunned.
He searched for a while but couldn't find any explanation of the energy value.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, could this energy value refer to cursed energy?
Cheng An took out his cartoon cookie jar and opened it. There were three magic cores inside.
Two of the insect type and one of the ghost type.
As soon as he took it out, he found an illusory and transparent tentacle sticking out of the screen.
This incident almost scared Cheng An so much that he jumped up and burned the computer to ashes. Fortunately, he held back for two seconds, and the tentacle transformed into a steel scale in front of him.
"Is this a scale to measure the cursed energy in the magic core?"
"Hey, it's a bit weird."
Cheng An smacked his lips, feeling that this kind of Freemasonry seemed very strange and unpredictable, but it also gave people a more elegant and aura feeling.
Compared with the previous 'Super Advanced Confidential Forum', now it has an additional function and has become a truly exclusive item in the extraordinary field.
Simply put, it’s more powerful!
Cheng An thought for a moment and put on the magic core that he obtained from He Qiancao and was broken into two halves of uncertain origin.
The shadow immediately displayed: [Energy value 40, do you want to save it?]
Only forty points? It seems that you can withdraw it at any time after depositing it, but after withdrawing it, the energy value will return to zero... Once the transaction post function is turned on, the forum can become a fixed and safe storage location, just like a bank?
Cheng An clicked 'Yes' with the idea that the biggest loss would be the broken magic core.
Then, two of his He Qiancao magic cores disappeared.
Instead, click on your name [1] in the forum, and an inventory will appear. If you click on it, you can see the projection of two magic cores, which can be taken out.
"It's really good."
Cheng An touched his chin, and then weighed his other two magic cores on the tentacle scale.
The one from the Cannonball Beetle has an energy value of 80;
And the ghost magic core obtained from Wa Village actually has an energy value of 480!
"Is the gap that big?"
"What is the specific basis for the parameter of energy value, the strength of the curse? The larger the value, the stronger the magic core is?"
Cheng An was surprised, thought for a moment, and put the remaining two magic cores into the Masonic inventory.
Is it more dangerous to keep this thing around? It is safer to keep it in your own account.
In this way, Cheng An's chief account has a full 600 energy points.
The next question is to set the energy value for opening the transaction post.
After some experiments, Cheng An discovered that this energy value is a consumable. Once a transaction is initiated, the consumed energy will not be returned.
For each transaction, there are two energy values that need to be consumed. Once when opening a [Transaction Post], energy will be consumed once, which can be set by Cheng An.
The second time, when the transaction is successful, it will consume 10% of the energy value of the transaction item itself. This value depends on the strength of the transaction item itself.
"The energy consumption of a successful transaction, that is to say, if a magic core is repeatedly traded, it will become waste in just a few times;
"And 10% consumption is a bit big..."
"You can directly go through the forum, no matter how far away, or you can do one-to-one transactions. It is reasonable to have such consumption!"
"Is this the cost of opening a trading post, similar to the cost of setting up a stall?"
Cheng An didn't know where the energy was consumed. Anyway, after testing, it was found that the energy did not enter the pocket of his chief.
In this case, and he can set the consumption number to turn on, the answer to the choice is obvious.
[Set up successfully! Every time you initiate a transaction post, you need to consume energy: 1!]
1 is the lowest consumption and cannot be 0.
"I can turn emptiness into reality, and I can turn reality into needs. My Freemasonry is even more powerful!"
After doing this, Cheng An's takeaway also arrived.
He opened the door a crack, collected the takeout, locked the door, and returned to the computer, eating while waiting to watch the show.
I don’t know how these guys will react when they see it...
Less than five minutes.
The forum, which had been blocked all night, became lively.
There are many fishing posts, such as:
"I can't log into the forum for half a day, I'm going to die of loneliness!"
"It's been another five boring days. Is there any more miserable job than being a gynecologist from another world?"
"My life on the other side has been in seclusion so far. I suspect that I am about to become a demon."
"For example, I have achieved the first level of the magic potion path. I am posting a post to celebrate myself. I did not starve to death. If I survive a catastrophe, I will be blessed later."
Etc., and so on.
Others reported that friends around them had mutations.
For example, "Brothers, one of my walking brothers has mutated. I am now tying him up at home. Is there any way I can save him?" A walking man with the ID of "Andrology's Wet Dream" posted a question.
However, only one person paid attention to him and replied, "Kill him if he should," but nothing more happened.
Cheng An looked at the other party's speech and found that the address the person mentioned was in Sichuan City, which was too far away. Even if he wanted to help and get a fortune of magic core at the same time, there was nothing he could do. He could only pray that he would be lucky.
.
There are several other posts that also mention that there are people around who have mutated.
Cheng An took a look and found that there were a lot of posts about mutation today, which made him feel quite bright after just finishing the update, and suddenly he became a little silent.
It seems that this time the Star Gate experience took a bit long, there were many walks, and misfortunes happened on the other side.
Once the journey is contaminated by the power of the curse in the other side, there is only one way to return to the present world, and that is to become a mutant.
"I hope that official forces can be mobilized in time to suppress the dangers caused by these mutations, otherwise ghost mutants like Wacun will kill who knows how many people.
"If it's near Haicheng, I can go there and try to solve it.
"Well, of course I use my identity as a member of Five Elements Heaven and a kobold!"
Cheng An himself is only a first-level magician master, and he is still confused about the way forward.
He has enough to protect himself, but he doesn't have much ability to help others.
At this time, someone finally noticed the new changes in the forum.
[Surprise!!! Didn't anyone notice that there is an additional trading post section!?] This is a chat room with 145 people online.
Cheng An squinted his eyes and clicked to take a look.
Good guy, we are indeed acquaintances, "Walkers have three".
Click in and take a look, the content is as follows:
"Friends, I have made a big move over there this time. I personally destroyed a demon cave, killed countless low-level demons, hunted seven fourth-level demons, and even a fifth-level furry, a nine-eyed wolf.
!
"When I returned to the present world, I saw that the Freemasons actually had a remote trading system. Is this prepared for the Nine-Eyed Wolf King's Demonic Core that I hunted?
"But this magic core is over there and can't be brought back to reality. It's really sad to think about it. How sad!"
Cheng Anjing quietly watched this person show off and touched his chin.
There are three travelers, and they say that they are the law enforcement elders of Zhixu Mountain over there, and their strength should be at the fifth level of extraordinary.
Among all the people whose identities have been revealed, this person is one of the top ones.
Currently, the highest level for walkers on the other side is level five.
Level six and above is the level of demigods, and the nature of life is different. For the time being, it seems that no one has parasitized to the other side and directly started as a demigod.
Daozi doesn't count, Daozi's eighth level is just what he said, whether it's true or not, anyway, the current real strength is that of ordinary people.
The chat room was also very lively.
[Left and right are men]: Mr. Xing San is awesome. Not only is he good at titles, but he is also very proficient in Versailles.
【Peach Jam】: The upstairs is brilliant!
[No worries, no worries, no dust, no cleansing]: Haha, I can see it too. Walking to the fifth level of the Third Master, I wonder if it is extraordinary in this world?
[Three Travelers]: Hey, how can there be so many extraordinary things in this world? But with my knowledge in the other side, I will soon be able to make a difference in this world.
[Uncle Wang next door]: I’ve been saying it for a long time, but you’re not even extraordinary in this world? You must be shameless enough to still brag about it here.
[Walker There Are Three]: It’s you, the old dog, who came here just because you smelled it.
[Uncle Wang next door]: If you have the guts, send me a seat and I can come and have a chat with you?
【Walker Has Three】: Laughing like crazy, if you want me to do it, I will do it. Am I not going to be a turtle bastard?
[Uncle Wang next door]: Why don’t you act cool here.
[Fu Sheng Ruo Meng]: Stop arguing, stop arguing, gentlemen, how do you work with this new trading system? Why can’t I post in it, and it tells me that I don’t have enough energy, and I need a little energy value before I can post? This energy value
How to get it?
[Watson]: I am good at finding blind spots, but I don’t know how to do it. Is there anyone who knows the inside story?
【Yan Shu】: Same question!
[Tai Sheng Shui]: I don’t know if it will work, but you can try putting a magic core on it and see.
[Pitch Black]: What do you mean?
[Smash all the tanks]: Where can I get the magic core? If someone mutates around me, I won’t be able to run away. Otherwise, the official will send a few magic cores to everyone for testing.
[Uncle Wang next door]: It means that the power of the curse can provide energy value. You can figure it out for yourself. I can’t reveal too much.
[Eat a Taotao]: And this thing, by coincidence, I have a magic core at home, I will try it.
[Looking up to the rich]: Upstairs is Bai Fumei. She actually has a magic core at home and is powerful. I am envious!
[Uncle Wang Next Door]: Pay attention to safety and don’t be contaminated by the curse of the magic core.
【Walker There Are Three】: So that’s it, I’ll try it too!
[Uncle Wang next door]: Haha.
The chat was interrupted for a while.
Cheng An looked at the number of people in the chat room and found that there were already more than 800 people.
It seems that this topic is quite critical, but now some people may have tried trading posts.
I don’t know what anyone will post. It would be great if I could buy some firearms!
Cheng An feels that he still needs a gun now, which can greatly improve his strength when dealing with five insect mutants.
But without the corresponding documents, he could not apply with Yu Xiangtong.
If you can get one on the forum, that would be great.
As for whether after the transaction starts, the forum will become chaotic and people will start selling drugs, Cheng An is not too worried.
Although the walkers who have experienced behind star gates time and time again seem to be acting cute in forums, they are definitely not real fools.
No one will be fooled like that.
Moreover, there are many official agents monitoring the situation at all times, so no one must be so bold.
Well, thinking about it this way, it seems that even buying a gun is not easy to operate, so I need to think about it in the long term...
While Cheng An was thinking about it, he discovered that there were many more messages under the trading section.
This is the walking people who have magic core resources around them. After studying the operation method, they started to try it one after another.
The one with the fastest action and the highest post ranking is.
[Trading post] There are three travelers, selling items: a piece of dog shit.
Description: Shit, dog shit, smells very bad, is fresh, and has some heat. If you want to buy it, hurry up. The dog is not an ordinary dog, it is a big golden retriever. It has been infected by a curse and has slightly mutated. Dog shit can be used as medicine. It sells for 100 energy.
.
…
Cheng An's mouth twitched.
Then look down.
There are people selling serious things, and there are many trading posts for first-order magic cores, but the prices are ridiculously high, with prices above 1,000 points.
As for the energy points of these magic cores themselves, Cheng An judged that they would not be very different from his own, and should be between dozens and hundreds of points.
In the early days of a trading system, merchants were really shady...
As for those informal trading posts, there are all kinds of them.
Those who sell underwear worn by girls, those who sell feces, urine and other excrement, those who sell power tools, those who sell aphrodisiacs, etc., they have everything.
"Is my lower limit of 1 point set a little too low?"
Cheng An began to doubt himself, no, he doubted the limits of these walkers.
"Let's wait for a day and wait for these idiots to calm down."
Seeing that there was no possibility of buying suitable items at a reasonable price in a short period of time, Cheng An turned off the computer.
The market has market rules, and he believes that it won't be long before the trading section becomes spontaneous and well-organized.
At this time, his cell phone beeped again, and there was a call.
"Is it Judy who keeps urging me to go to dinner?"
Cheng An picked it up and took a look, only to find that he had guessed wrong. The caller was the sister of the original owner of the body, Cheng Yuyi, who had said goodbye last time and was not planning to meet again.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng An still chose to answer.
"Hello? Brother, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. When will you go home?" A sweet female voice asked on the other end of the phone.
Mid-Autumn Festival...it will be Mid-Autumn Festival on September 27th, which is tomorrow...
Cheng An was silent for a moment and then said, "Let's do it this afternoon."
Cheng Yuyi said, "My high school alma mater has invited our alumni to return to school for a Mid-Autumn Festival party. Are you free? Will you go with me tonight?"
"That's okay." Cheng An thought for a while and decided to go there. After all, they are biological 'parents', so there is no need to deliberately avoid them.
"Great! So where are you now?" Cheng Yuyi said excitedly.
Cheng An looked at the address and said, "I'm very close to my hometown. I'll wait for you directly at the gate of the high school."
"Okay! I also brought a college classmate to introduce you to him!" Cheng Yuyi heard a scuffle and then hung up the phone.
Cheng An had a strange expression.
Introduce me to him?
"Is this cheap sister going to introduce me to my girlfriend?"
Cheng An felt speechless. He always felt that many people he met recently wanted to introduce someone to him.
But it’s not a big deal, it’s just a matter of getting to know each other, and if it’s not suitable, just reject it.
