Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 510

Fang Yi accepted the money bag handed to him by the merchant.

"Not very clean?"

Hearing Fang Yi's question.

After we stopped talking about that reincarnator.

The merchants were as if they had been freed from their shackles.

The 'efficient' mode has been restored.

He sped up his speech.

The so-called "not very clean" refers to...

"The previous owner of these coins was similar to the one from whom we obtained the [Old Gold Coins] at the beginning of the game."

It seems she was afraid that men wouldn't understand.

The businessman added another hint.

"Before arriving at that temporary outpost."

Fang Yi first took out fourteen somewhat worn coins from the lining of his clothes.

He then took out nine coins from his personal storage space.

They tentatively handed it to the merchant.

"I like to round things up."

"Keep the extra change."

"It should be no different from your money, right?"

The merchant accepted the money.

After bending down with some effort to examine the coins, he...

The answer was provided.

"No, Mr. Fang Yi."

"None of them."

"Although I have much more money than you."

"But money is neither noble nor base."

Fang Yi nodded slightly.

He already knew who those enemies the other party was referring to.

[Similar to the bandits who attacked the carriage at the start of the mission.]

The forces behind these bandits are most likely hostile to the town.
-
The fourteen coins he just handed to the merchant were...

The mission begins with you and veteran Corey killing bandits and retrieving the loot from their corpses.

These coins are too small in denomination.

Once taken by a man, it's like a forgotten coin.

The man casually stuffed it into his clothes pocket.

The other nine.

It came from the old gold coins given to him by the man who called himself Wu Zhong.

It can be seen from this.

That unknown reincarnator, or Wu Zhong.

They must have been confident in their strength and chose to spare the lives of those bandits.

They followed the bandits to their stronghold.

They then uncovered the mission lines behind those bandits and reached a cooperation agreement.

They received help from these people.

Whether in terms of manpower or money.

Therefore, in the battle three days later.

Besides the reincarnators, the bandits should also appear as allies of the other side.
-
Fang Yi narrowed his eyes.

I felt a little pressure.

Judging from the merchant's description.

The reincarnator obtained a lot of old gold coins from these bandits.

Considering the principle of equivalence between the difficulty and the reward in terms of space.

These bandits must be quite powerful.

[Because the game features extremely difficult archetype events like the "Wolf at the Door" and bandit-type monsters.]

So, does this mean there's such a hidden force?

This is really starting to look bad.

The prototype's town events occur in the later stages of the game.

There are many high-level mercenaries in the town.

Extremely difficult events that can only be triggered by certain conditions.

The difficulty of this dungeon is higher than that of a regular [Champion Dungeon].

After recalling the events that triggered the game, the town was bombed into ruins.

And even a team of level 6 players could fail in a dungeon after the event is triggered.

Fang Yi had already realized the difficulty of the battle three days later.

The alpha wolf, as the leader, will most likely not make an appearance.

However, there is a possibility that 'elite monsters' that have triggered the [element] will appear.

Although these people probably won't be like Woyin.

The [Elements] have been developed into a variety of bizarre abilities.

But like Corey who just sensed the [Element], he should have mastered one or two abilities.

Just to be on the safe side, I need to find a way to get as much loot as possible in this 'dungeon'.
-
Thinking of this, Fang Yi stood up.

He asked the last question he was concerned about. "What about the bullets and weapons you mentioned that are mixed with [Star Fragments]?"

"Puch-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the merchant tore open his sleeve.

He revealed his left arm.

It was an arm inlaid with several green, transparent crystals about the length of a finger.

Compared to the merchant's right arm.

The arm showed very obvious signs of atrophy.

The businessman pointed to his arm.

A bitter smile.

"The mystical scholars who treated me only gave me limited information."

"The bullets and arrows that hit me were mixed with a precious material called [Star Fragments]."

"It has triggered an incurable disease called 'Star Pollution'."

The businessman added, still shaken.

"When these bullets hit me, they will generate crystals in my body that drain my life force and multiply rapidly until I die."

"If I hadn't decisively used some tools and been lucky enough to befriend a [mystical scholar]..."

"I'm afraid Mr. Fang Yi can only see a cluster of crystals now."

"Mr. Fang Yi, you'd better be careful with these weapons. This kind of illness can probably only be cured by returning to the space and paying a large number of points to restore your physical body, or by seeking out an [Alchemist]."

"Cough! Cough!"

A violent cough interrupted the businessman's unfinished words.

And then the merchant coughed.

Fang Yi clearly perceived something that only he could perceive.

The green crystals on the merchant's arm resembled the active limbs of a living organism.

The 'flow' has begun.

These crystals are clearly alive.

[Could it be one of those star-born monsters from the game's DLC?]

The merchant's additional words confirmed the man's guess.

"This precious material helps improve equipment performance and adds spatial attributes to the equipment, as well as incurable diseases."

"They are all related to the [Star Calamity] and the [Starry Sky Monster] that randomly appears in the 'Dungeon'."

"However, given my current position, I am unable to know any information about the [Star Calamity]."

"If possible, I hope to save money."

Looking at the several points cards on the merchant's table.

Fang Yi understood the businessman's implication.

He stood up and immediately made a promise.

"I understand. I will keep an eye on things related to the [Star Calamity]."

"There shouldn't be any other information, right?"

The merchant bowed slightly.

"there is none left.

Thank you so much!

However, the words were not finished.

The merchant then discovered that the man had vanished from sight.

Only one sentence from the man remained in the air.

I think it's better to be 'efficient' in doing things.

After learning about the existence of the "Star Calamity" DLC.

Fang Yi has realized that there is a path that only he can currently discover.

A questline that allows you to improve your strength before battle.

Those "mysterious scholars" claimed that "Star Fragments" could also enhance equipment performance.

Woyin also mentioned that Lov, the manager of the blacksmith shop, had a close relationship with a mysterious scholar.

All of the above points to the [Blacksmith Shop].

There must be a questline that uses [Star Fragments] to upgrade equipment.

And that Love had said something like that before.

Before entering the Elite Dungeon, remember to come find me once.

No surprises.

He should be able to learn about the [Star Calamity] from the other party during this meeting.

Trigger the relevant task.

However, for now, he needs to go to the guild and meet with the veteran.
-
A few minutes later, [Guild]

I just stepped through the gate.

Fang Yi then saw the veteran Ke Li sitting on a bench with his eyes closed, resting.

And the shield that was completely covered up by the other party.

I only glanced at the shield.

Fang Yi then drew his conclusion.

It was a shield whose quality was just one step away from being a [Second-Tier Legendary] shield.

At the same time, it exhibits the same 'flow' as those crystals that cause 'star pollution'.
-
It seemed to have sensed Fang Yi's presence.

Corey opened his only remaining eye.

"Captain, I have the results for the person you asked me to investigate."
