After receiving these three talent crystals, Zhang Chen crushed them without the slightest hesitation!
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 12 talent points, current remaining talent points are 12!
Awesome!
With extra talent points, his mood was incredibly pleasant!
This made leveling up and assigning talent points much more motivating.
Zhang Chen was a bit tired of having to make a choice every time he leveled up.
Just point, point, point – that was more in line with his persona!
Originally, Zhang Chen had planned to put some of his inexhaustible crunchy fruits here to see if they could fetch a good price.
But to his disappointment, because the strength of the轮回者 (reincarnators) in the same period was generally lower, not many people could afford crystal cores.
Talent crystals were the most expensive, while food was the cheapest.
He guessed that if these people were made to choose between leveling up and crunchy fruits, they would undoubtedly choose leveling up without hesitation.
Alas, what a bunch of paupers.
Since crunchy fruits sold for too little, there was no point in selling them.
It wasn't that Zhang Chen felt it was a loss, but dealing with auction platforms, setting prices, and the like for a few hundred or thousand [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores] was simply too troublesome.
Moreover, as a rare fruit, even a slightly lower price for crunchy fruits would deal a fatal blow to the prices of other foods.
It was better to let them mature for a few more days, and then sell them when everyone was more affluent!
Zhang Chen searched for the word "Lucky Card" in the operation bar again.
Over a dozen [Beginner Lucky Cards] appeared, priced at 5000 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores].
"Beginner ones selling for 5000? That's a bit expensive!"
Zhang Chen gently shook his head.
It was likely that besides himself, someone else had also obtained the [Beginner Lucky Card Design Blueprint] and possessed the material for making lucky cards, the Seven-Leaf Lucky Grass.
If someone bought this card, the seller could become rich in one go, which would be great luck indeed. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Now he had many [Beginner Lucky Cards] on hand, and he was growing [Seven-Leaf Lucky Grass] in his fields. Zhang Chen was not short of this item.
He carefully examined the interface and, upon confirming the absence of [Intermediate Lucky Cards], felt a slight regret.
Zhang Chen entered "Map" into the search bar again.
In this world now, besides food and crystal cores, maps were the most important.
Soon, maps of various cities were listed.
Prices ranged from 10 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores] to 50 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores].
As long as you went to a local travel agency or newsstand, you could find hundreds of maps at once.
Therefore, the map industry was quite competitive, and prices couldn't be driven too high, but they were still sought-after goods in the market.
Zhang Chen didn't consider cost-effectiveness at all. He directly selected all and clicked to purchase!
Ding! You consumed 350,000 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores] and obtained a total of 13725 maps, all of which have been uploaded to the electronic map.
When Zhang Chen opened the electronic map again, it was suddenly clear and expansive!
Basically, all the cities with survivors lit up, occupying about 1/10 of the entire world map.
Moreover, the cities of survivors were mostly adjacent to each other, while some completely dark areas had several consecutive cities that couldn't be lit up.
Especially the area around the high-walled cities of Tengxiang Country, which was almost pure black.
Only the places Zhang Chen had been to were lit up, the rest was pitch black.
If he didn't wipe out the survivors of this city... perhaps he could buy the map of this city.
Zhang Chen mused.
After browsing for a while, he really didn't see any other items that caught his eye.
Zhang Chen then closed the operation interface.
After all, today was only the first day, and it was estimated that many good items had not yet been put up for sale by people who were reluctant to part with them.
It was likely that many people, like Zhang Chen, wanted to wait until everyone had more disposable income before selling.
He would check again tomorrow!
Zhang Chen stretched, enjoying the gentle and cool night breeze, feeling exceptionally comfortable.
Suddenly, he saw Mo Ran hanging on the corner of the wall.
Zhang Chen's heart stirred. He quickly smiled and waved at her, saying:
"Mo Ran, come here for a moment!"
"BA... BA..."
Mo Ran, with her bare feet, quickly jumped down from the web she was on in the corner. With a few light leaps, she pounced into Zhang Chen's arms.
This little creature, apart from not having fully developed, had quite perfect body proportions.
She curled up in Zhang Chen's arms like a doll, a look of happiness on her face.
Mo Ran's personality was rather aloof. She rarely interacted with others and occasionally interacted with Xiao Bai.
Therefore, her language skills hadn't improved much, and she was still at the stage of only being able to blurt out words.
Zhang Chen took out a hawthorn.
This was also one of the fruits he had stocked up on during the previous zero-cost shopping spree. At the time, he hadn't looked closely, just collecting all the fruits.
He didn't expect it to be useful today.
"Eat... Eat..."
Mo Ran looked at the red, strange fruit, and her eyes instantly lit up.
"This is called a hawthorn. It's a bit sour, are you ready?"
Zhang Chen asked with a smile.
"Eat! Eat! Mo Ran... tummy hungry..."
Mo Ran patted her bulging little belly with her small hands.
She had eaten quite a bit during dinner, and it had only been a little over an hour. How could she be hungry?!
This little creature was just craving something.
Mo Ran was a very smart little creature.
If she said she wanted to eat, Zhang Chen would sometimes not give it to her for fear of overfeeding her.
But if Mo Ran said she was hungry, then Zhang Chen would definitely feed her.
After all, one could choose not to eat to satisfy a craving, but if one needed to fill their stomach, then eating was essential.
Zhang Chen saw through Mo Ran's little trick, but he chose not to expose it.
Besides, if she wasn't greedy, it would be difficult to proceed with the subsequent work.
Zhang Chen handed the hawthorn to Mo Ran.
The small hawthorn, in Mo Ran's hands, was like a large apple.
*Crunch!*
Mo Ran took a big bite and swallowed it after just two chews.
"Delicious!"
Mo Ran's eyes shone. In a flash, she finished the entire hawthorn, only spitting out the seeds.
"You actually like to eat sour things?!"
Zhang Chen asked with a look of astonishment.
"Hungry! Hungry! Mo Ran, hungry!"
Mo Ran again touched her bulging little belly, saying with a pitiful look.
"Alright, you want to eat this again?"
Zhang Chen took out another hawthorn and dangled it in front of Mo Ran.
"Mhm mhm!"
Instantly, Mo Ran's saliva flowed involuntarily.
Anyone who had eaten hawthorn would involuntarily secrete saliva upon seeing it or imagining it...
Zhang Chen quickly took out a small bottle and held it by Mo Ran's mouth.
A stream of clear, viscous liquid flowed down...
Soon, next to the bottle, a prompt appeared:
[A bottle of mother worm saliva, which can be used as fertilizer essential for the growth of Ice Condensing Flower!]
Success!
Zhang Chen rejoiced!
