, Introduction: Merchants who appear randomly in the wild or in towns, the most mysterious smugglers on the mainland, sell items that cannot be bought in ordinary stores at low prices, and have a certain chance to appear rare items, skill books, and skill scrolls.

From getting A-level skills on the Jiangcheng Bridge, to encountering mysterious businessmen at the bus station, it is all within Zhang Mu’s plan, and preparations for creating greater advantages in the early stage

The mysterious businessman is a very important link. His whereabouts will appear anywhere, and he stays for no more than six hours at a time. The probability of encountering is lower than winning a lottery ticket.

But the place where it appeared for the first time was the bus station.

Zhang Mu dragged the fat man with weak legs and walked to the mysterious businessman.

He was sitting in a black van, four meters high, made of metal, covered in black and badly worn.

“Warriors of another world, you are lucky enough to meet me.” The mysterious businessman’s voice was hoarse and heavy, he jumped out of the car and continued: “Welcome to the mysterious store, our products are of high quality and low prices. , guaranteed to your satisfaction.”

Zhang Mu nodded: “Let me see first, what products are there.”

The mysterious businessman turned around and kicked the truck, shouting, “Hey, the guy inside, there’s business coming to you!” The truck was opened, and a long shelf was pushed out, with more than 20 different items hanging on it, all of which were different commodities.

There are more than 20 items of information, equipment, enhancement scrolls, and skill books, but most of the prices are more than a few hundred gold coins, which players absolutely cannot afford at this stage.

After reading it, Zhang Mu said, “I want to make a deal with you.”

The mysterious merchant said, “Is there something you like?”

Zhang Mu shook his head and said, “You should understand that we can’t afford anything at this stage.”

The mysterious businessman smiled: “Oh, what business do you want to do?”

Zhang Mu said: “Lend me 50 gold coins for a maximum of two hours, and I will pay back double.”

“It’s the first time someone has borrowed gold coins from me after I’ve been on the mainland for many years.”

Zhang Mu said, “You are a businessman, and you put your interests first. This deal is a good deal.”

“Interesting person.” The mysterious businessman looked at Zhang Mu up and down, “Although it is not allowed in principle, you look different, I can make an exception. But the conditions need to be changed, I will lend you 50 gold coins, two hours later, 200 gold coins.”

Zhang Mu got 50 gold coins, and the canine machete was sold.

Got another 15 gold, now a total of 69 gold.

Spend 10 gold coins to buy a [F-Class Monster Manual].

Spend 50 gold coins to buy a [Post (six hours)].

Zhang Mu concentrated all his energy and saw a reduced version of Zhang Mu appeared in his consciousness. Various attributes and statuses were displayed next to it. There were multiple options around the character information, namely [Backpack], [Tasks], [Guild], [Team], [Forum], enter the forum, there is a blank space, and there is nothing.

Posts bought from the mystery shop, are used to create posts in the forum.

Zhang Mu brewed for a moment, and immediately wrote in the post:

“Whether it is a wealthy and powerful high-ranking official, or a dazzling and highly anticipated celebrity, from the moment the game opens, all of this has vanished! Feel inferior! At this moment, all living beings are standing on the same starting line. Only the truly strong can obtain the right to survive, while the weak can only be eliminated and enslaved. Life and death, strong and weak, choose by yourself… Please firmly believe that this is The real end of the world, but not the end of mankind.”

“In addition, I want to tell you one unfortunate thing, we are no longer on the familiar earth, it may be absurd, but the truth is, the outside of Jiangcheng City has become a forest. Yes, we came to another world, We are isolated, there will be no rescue, there will be no army, there will be no government… Jiangcheng City is the lowest area in this map, the monster level is within 1-3, in fact, as long as Overcome your fears and use your wisdom well, low-level monsters are not invincible!”

“Of course, you may choose to hide in a place where there is enough food? This is impossible. The system will issue a task soon, which is mandatory. Those who fail the task will be obliterated by the system…”

“This is monster information below level 10, including the monster’s habits and weaknesses, attribute information, skill information, etc. It is important survival information, please pay attention to it!”

“Reading will charge 1 gold coin as a fee.”

Zhang Mu copied the information in the monster manual, and set a fee for this part, and each person charged 1 gold.

The monster manual records all monster information below level 10 in detail, and the total number is astonishingly more than a thousand species.

Jiangcheng City has a population of nearly 4 million, and most of them will die within 24 hours before the disaster. At most, about 1 in 10 will survive, and 1 in 5 of the survivors will be eligible to play within the first 12 hours. .

In other words, nearly 80,000 people qualified as players within 12 hours.

This piece of information is very important and definitely has the ability to rewrite history.

Summarizing the lessons of failure in memory, the biggest reason why human beings will lose in the end is that too many people died in the early stage. Secondly, in the mid-term, there were a lot of infighting and turmoil among the human races, and the various forces were in their own way, so that there were not many survivors killing each other. Concentrate your strength, and this will lead to the destruction of the whole.

Since he has started all over again, he cannot repeat the same mistakes. Using known information can seek maximum benefits, but this is not a one-person game. Zhang Mu needs to let more people survive and strengthen the overall strength of the human race!

An important information release that includes all the monsters at this stage is very important for people’s survival in the early stage. At the same time, it will establish a solid prestige for Zhang Mu, making him a celebrity in the entire region map!

Zhang Mu used the wooden man as the forum ID and sent a post.

“Hint: The post has been created successfully, and it will be automatically cleared after six hours!”

“Hint: The first person to post on this map will get 300 prestige points!”

“Hint: The first post was created successfully, and the whole picture is announced!”

Fatty was surprised when he heard the system announcement: “There is a forum function, the wooden man who posted the post is the boss, right?”

Zhang Mu sat down and waited, the monster was still roaring again and again outside the iron gate, but within 100 meters of the mysterious businessman, no monster could get close to him. Before the mysterious businessman left, the two of them were absolutely safe.

The relationship between the system announcement, players know the situation of the post at the first time, the number of pageviews has reached more than 1,000, and the total number of players in the city is not much higher than the number.

About 2 minutes later, the first payer appeared and received the first gold coin.

After 5 minutes, the number of payments exploded, reaching 160 instantly.

After 10 minutes, the number of payments gradually stabilized, reaching 180.

After 30 minutes, it exceeded 200 people.

Zhang Mu clenched his fist, very good, the income rate was much faster than expected, he gave 200 gold coins to the mysterious merchant.

“mission completed!”

“Mysterious merchant favorability +20, favorability increased to 20. Relationship change: Neutral→Normal.”

From now on, every gold coin’s income will be Zhang Mu’s personal wealth.

The amount of payment continues to grow. As the number of players continues to increase, more players fight monsters to get gold coins, and the growth rate has steadily increased.

1 hour, 150 gold.

2 hours, 400 gold coins.

3 hours, 590 gold.

4 hours, 950 gold

After a full 5 hours, 1200 gold coins entered the backpack.

Even after a month or two, 1,200 is an extremely rich fortune, and 1,400 people paid to read the posts that recorded a lot of monster information in addition to the previous 200 payments.

People usually don’t go it alone, it’s enough for one person in a group to pay, and get at least four or five times as many people as they pay!

The mysterious businessman left in about twenty minutes.

【Regional Map Manual】, 100 gold coins!

[F+ Grade Skill Book: Assassination], 300 gold coins!

[F-level skill book: Speed Skating], 200 gold coins!

Buy the most important skill books and maps first, for a total of 500 gold coins.

[LV1 skill upgrade scroll], 400 gold coins!

Skill scrolls can be used to upgrade skills, which are extremely important and cost a total of 900 gold coins.

There are many good things in the mystery shop, but the time is too limited to collect more gold coins, so we can only pick the most useful things to sell.

After buying the skill book, skill scroll, and map, Zhang Mu bought the remaining [post] in the store.

Use the same technique when you have no money to make a fortune quickly.

The last 203 gold coins were used by Zhang Mu on equipment.

[Refined Iron Short Sword] (ordinary black iron weapon), attack +8, sharpness +1, durability 2020.

The price is 80 gold coins!

[Refined Iron Two-handed Axe] (ordinary black iron weapon), attack +14, attack speed -10%, durability 2020.

The price is 110 gold coins!

Although both are black iron equipment, ordinary black iron equipment is much better than inferior black iron equipment.

Zhang Mu equipped the short sword and gave the two-handed axe to Fatty.
