Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 18: Battle Preparation and Expensive Strategy
Fang Yi remembered that he still had a settlement reward that he had not claimed.

He bent down and opened the small box in the room, ready to continue enjoying the harvest moment.

[Contribution Ranking Rewards, Mission Rating Rewards: 7 Attribute Points, 5000 Points, 16 Merit Points]

[Merit points are unlocked after completing the first plot world mission]

Fang Yi looked helpless. He was like an old player who had returned to the game with a lot of resources in his account, but he still had to go through a tedious tutorial before he could gradually unlock various functions.

According to the regulations in the booklet, whether it is talents, merit points, or skill details display, these need to be unlocked at the beginning or end of the first story world.

However, attribute points can still be allocated.

Fang Yi thought about it again and again and decided on the egalitarian approach. After all, he had enough room for error.

I am now a "newcomer" who has never performed a mission.

After using up all the free attribute points, directly increase the intelligence to 13 and the other attributes to 12.

Benefit of additional preparation time for first-time assignments based on the guidelines in the brochure and space commitments.

After reciting the task silently, he successfully obtained the information about the next task.

【Keywords: zombies, steam machinery, siege】

[Mode: Peaceful Mode]

Difficulty: Low

[There are 4 hours left before the mission starts. Before the mission starts, some players will be forced to teleport to the space for preparation. When the mission starts, all players will be forced to teleport to the mission world.]

Looking at the huge sum of 9000 points, Fang Yi prepared to visit the Samsara Space Market to learn about the value of points and the overview of the space.
-
According to the manual, going to the market requires opening the door to personal space.

Fang Yi pulled the door handle, but the door didn't move. As soon as he pulled the door, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. With a moment of weightlessness, Fang Yi came to the crowded square.

Like the night market that was a unique sight in the previous life, it was filled with a variety of stalls, and there were all kinds of shops in the streets further away.

The column in front of Fang Yi was obviously the recovery items for sale.

The sign on the first stall in front of me reads:

"Two sets of homemade recovery pills, 2 pills each. Each pill restores 12 health points in a non-combat state. 30 points per set. Not for sale individually, no bargaining."

"Six homemade combat potions. Each one quickly restores 6 health points while in combat, grants a temporary strength +15 for 1 seconds, and has a cooldown of 180 hours. Each potion costs 2 points, so a package costs 90 points."

Fang Yi looked at the stalls. The former showed that it was sold out, and the latter showed that only two pills were left. There were also many messages below asking to buy the pills.

"Let's buy two as backup." Fang Yi thought to himself.

Silently recite the payment points in front of the stall, and the two pills will appear in your personal space.

Combat Potion

Category: Supplies
Quality: First-class common

Origin: Player-made

Conditions of use: Oral

Effect: Instantly restore 15 health points and gain 1 temporary strength point, lasting 180 seconds, CD 2 hours
Introduction: It not only restores life, but also enhances combat endurance in various aspects.

"A potential newcomer who entered the space early? I suggest you buy some non-combat recovery pills."

Fang Yi looked up and found that a tall and thin man appeared in the stall that was originally empty.

"Me?" Fang Yi pointed at himself.

"Yes, you don't have a badge on your shoulder yet, which means you haven't experienced a mission world yet. Even though you can come in early like me, the initial points you get from the space won't be very high."

"You don't have many points on hand, so there's no need to buy this kind of combat potion. Your first mission won't be difficult."

The tall and thin man added with a half-smile on his face.

"Also, many people buy this potion not for combat recovery, but to use it elsewhere."

Following the direction of the tall, thin man's finger, Fang Yi saw a rouge-pink alleyway, and could vaguely make out the pale thighs at the doorway. "I just happened to be restocking the slow recovery pills. Since you like them, I'll give you half a set for 90 points. Give me the mixture, and I'll refund you another 90 points."

Fang Yi shook his head, indicating that he would pay the full amount with his points and buy a set of slow recovery pills.

The tall and thin man tried to persuade him once, but seeing Fang Yi's firm attitude, he stopped trying.

Just a kind message, "There's a street over there that sells intelligence and standard equipment. Find a shop and newcomers can spend some money to learn some space intelligence."

"Also, keep an eye on your points and don't be fooled. Don't believe in street advertisements offering huge sums of money to have children, or scams like pretending to be pitiful and begging."

"When you come back, you can patronize my stall more often, newcomer."

After expressing his gratitude to the tall and thin man, Fang Yi decided to go to the store first to get some information.
-
Following the direction of the tall and thin man's finger, Fang Yi found a shop with a very arrogant decoration on that street.

As I walked in, I saw several good-looking young women in uniform talking to various customers. When she saw Fang Yi, one of them came forward to greet him warmly.

After seeing that Fang Yi did not have a badge on his shoulder, the woman's attitude quickly cooled down and she asked Fang Yi in a formal manner what he needed.

After learning that Fang Yi needed information about new recruits, the woman's face turned cold and impatient, and she asked Fang Yi to ask other people.

Fang Yi caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye as she enthusiastically greeted a tightly wrapped man and woman who also had no badges but seemed very familiar with the place and addressed the manager by name.

Fang Yi cursed inwardly, "In this damn reincarnation space, the shopping guides in the shops also treat people differently."

He secretly made a note of this and glanced around the lobby, noticing that the only free person was a young man who looked a little stiff and reserved.

"Hello, I need information about newbies and skills in steam machinery. Can you provide them here?"

The dull young man, who was thinking about his life with his head down, raised his head and looked at Fang Yi when he heard Fang Yi's request, then handed him a page of paper to read.

Fang Yi took it and found a few lines of words written on it.

Eight Taboos of Space

1. You can easily find bargains in the market, and sellers will not deceive buyers.

2. The women in Pink Lane are all pure and lovely, but because of bad luck, they have fallen to the point of making a living from this.

3. You can safely reveal your real name and real-life address.

4. The space contract is perfect and has no loopholes.

5. All players start from the same starting line for their first mission, and there is no such thing as inheritance to benefit descendants.

6. You don’t need to reserve at least 100 points each time you enter a task.

7. Non-combat skills and the development of side jobs are not important.

8. There is no additional benefit for setting multiple attributes at level 20.

9. You are strictly prohibited from using or reselling prohibited items.

The dull young man made sure Fang Yi had read it carefully before speaking, "My name is Wu Wei, what's your name?"

Fang Yi thought about it and dug out the name he had abandoned from the dusty memories in his mind.

"Fang Renyi."

Wu Wei nodded, flipped through three booklets, and asked softly, "Brother Fang, steam machinery-related skills are relatively unpopular. I need to look for them again. There are guides for levels 20, 100, and 700 here. Which one do you need?"

“Which one is the most worthwhile? Which one will be most helpful for future development?”

Wu Wei pointed to the information that the price was 700 points and added.

"This guide was written by a player who reached Rank 6. Many players have used it to successfully overcome the novice period and advance to higher tiers. It's expensive, but well worth it."

"I think you definitely need it and can afford it."

Wu Wei looked at Fang Yi and said seriously.
