After his teammates left, Ji Xun carefully walked towards the direction of the fire.
He climbed down the rusty stairs and could already overlook the lively camp from halfway up.
The light of the fire dispersed the fog, and the camp was crowded with people.
It was a mechanical town. Treasure hunters used dismantled iron plates and huge rivets from the ruins to piece together a tall steel city wall like patches.
The town was brightly lit and bustling with people. At first glance, it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people. On almost every building, there were chimneys spitting out smoke.
Before, Ji Xun felt that the steam technology tree in this world was a bit crooked, but now it turned out to be true.
At a glance, he saw the steel python-like steam train in the town, and the large mechanical lifting arms were hoisting various goods. Even the workers who moved the goods almost had some weird mechanical exoskeletons on them.
This allows them to carry tons of cargo with ease.
Just now, he was a little worried that he would get into trouble if his attire was noted down. Now after observing the hunter attire in the camp, Ji Xun immediately felt that he was worrying too much.
Tactical vest and boots, this is the standard for the street.
Seven or eight out of the ten hunters in the camp are dressed in this way, and even the gas masks are of similar style.
Ji Xun also felt relieved, climbed down the stairs and landed on the ground.
After walking over, the gate of the camp was open, and a few hunters on the watchtower were leaning on the arrow tower, looking around boredly.
As long as it's not a monster attack, no one will care who enters the camp.
...
There were many people coming in and out, and people were excitedly talking about various stories in the ruins.
Ji Xun blended into the crowd and walked in without any surprises.
This is a camp built for exploring ruins, and all the facilities inside are for hunters.
Card shop, gun shop, mechanical modification shop, pharmacy shop, material shop... in short, all kinds of supply shops.
Ji Xun passed by those shops, looking at the dazzling array of firearms and individual mechanical equipment, and was very greedy.
He thought his revolver was pretty good before, but compared to this, it was really a basic model.
There are dozens of types of bullets, including magic-breaking bullets, armor-piercing bullets, exorcism bullets, incendiary bombs...
I took a look at the price tag at the door of the shop:
The same large-mouth gold revolver on my waist is only worth 1,300 yuan, while more sophisticated equipment can easily cost tens of thousands.
There are also daggers, leather armor, tactical boots, zip lines...
In short, as long as you have money, you can buy a better set of adventure equipment.
Equipment is what makes a living, and hunters are naturally not stingy with money. These shops are filled with all kinds of hunters.
Ji Xun walked all the way, bought a tactical backpack, and also updated some necessary equipment.
I didn’t look at mechanical skeletons or anything like that.
Too expensive.
The carry target is also too large.
He continued to walk forward, and there was a large shop at the core of the camp, with a sign saying "Haisen Chamber of Commerce's Card House".
There is a beautiful glass display window at the door, which contains magic cards of various colors.
【Wind Blade Card】:￥3000
【Explosion Card】:￥5000
【Arcane Bullets】:￥15555
【Second level hellfire】:￥30000
There are mostly disposable skill cards in the window, as well as blank containment cards, energy cards, various strange and incomprehensible psychic cards, weapon cards...
Ji Xun took a look and didn't enter the store at all, and muttered in his mind: "Is it really because it's cheap?"
Previously in the extradimensional space, he watched Chujiu and the mercenaries use several kinds of magic cards.
But it is rarely used.
More firearms.
Now when I look at the price, I immediately know why.
Magic cards are indeed much more powerful than firearms, and they can also meet various combat needs.
But the price is outrageous.
A grenade only costs 300, while a first-level [explosion card] costs 5,000.
The physical damage is similar, but the price is more than ten times different.
But there’s nothing I can’t figure out.
Firearms and other things can be produced using factory assembly lines. The steam machinery in this world is so advanced that the manufacturing cost is definitely not high.
The card involves magic and magic sealing, and it seems that it needs to be artificially refined at present.
There is a reason why it is expensive.
And the upper limit of magic cards is obviously higher.
Grenade is already one of the most powerful ammunition in individual soldier equipment, but its power is similar to that of the lowest card.
Those high-end cards with ridiculously high prices can be guessed just by looking at their name, Ji Xun, and they all have some extraordinary magical effects.
For example: a [Chain Lightning] with a price tag of hundreds of thousands.
The skill effect is to instantly cause group lightning damage and paralysis to targets within range.
Can the physical body control the power of thunder?
This was very difficult with technology in previous lives.
While Ji Xun looked at it in amazement, he was also full of expectations for the extraordinary power that humans in this world can master.
In addition, there is a pharmacy shop next door, which also has some alchemical potions that sound magical.
Ji Xun was almost dazzled when he looked at the rows of dazzling potion labels. He picked a few necessary basic potions and didn't look at them any more.
High-end potions still have one word: expensive!
Ji Xun only had a small amount of cash collected from the corpses of mercenaries in his pocket, and could not afford high-end potions.
He still doesn't know the price level of the world, nor does he know what his purchasing power is.
But the reference was quickly found.
There is a simple tavern in the camp, where a group of hunters eat, drink and fight.
Ji Xun walked on the street and took a look. Black bread was 15/piece and drinking water was 3/l.
Not too expensive.
Feeling hungry after walking for so long, he took out the money and sold a piece of black bread as long as an arm.
It feels a bit like a baseball bat in your hand, hard.
He tried it.
Not to mention, apart from the hardness which may break your teeth, the taste is pretty good.
After biting into pieces, the carbohydrates are decomposed by saliva, and a sweet and fragrant flavor sweeps over the taste buds.
Just like the compressed biscuits in the previous life, it doesn't care about the taste, but prioritizes energy supply needs.
Ji Xun took a few bites and soon felt that he had enough calories.
...
Everything in Devil's Crossing Camp is new to Ji Xun.
It was his first time here, and if possible, he planned to walk around or sit in a pub.
Listen to what those people talk about and find out what the world is like.
But now is obviously not the time.
Ji Xun bought some supplies and hurriedly walked towards the train station behind the camp.
As he walked, he also observed with his peripheral vision.
The camp is just a small town, not too big, and we arrived at the train station not long after walking.
This is a very simple platform that looks like an ancient relic, with traces of time everywhere.
The station is very lively with people coming and going.
The workers were busy carrying various materials found from the ruins onto the bus, and the treasure hunters who had gained a lot were also smiling and getting on the bus in groups.
When the treasure hunt is over, if you don't die, you must have earned something.
The hunters will take this train back to Innocence City, and then spend a long time in revelry.
Ji Xun's observation skills are extremely keen. As soon as he came over, he immediately noticed something unusual.
"Are you from the Blackwater Mercenary Group?"
Among the bustling crowd, Ji Xun could distinguish a few guys with unusual expressions at a glance.
Other hunters were anxious to get back into the car, but they were scanning the crowd with their peripheral vision, as if they were looking for something.
Ji Xun wasn't sure if those guys were looking for him.
But it is estimated that even if they are looking for him, the information of those guys is very limited. Maybe they only know that they are: a man and a woman?
Wearing a gas mask in the extradimensional space before, the fourth young master of the Cao family didn't see his appearance clearly, and there weren't many clues about him.
As long as you don't reveal your flaws, the probability of being discovered is low.
However, this world has extraordinary power.
Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless.
He imitated the joyful lightness of passers-by, blended in with the crowd, and walked towards the train without flinching at all.
