Chapter 8: The Difficult Choice
Boyi didn't respond to Ye Feng's question, but instead walked over to his side and took a look at the toy-like thing. "You can check out the product introduction yourself, I'm not a salesperson, just a game guide. How to play is up to you."
"What's with the product introduction?" Ye Feng looked at Bo Yi with some skepticism, then reached out to touch the gun.
"Super Gauss Gun, produced on the planet of Automan, civilian low-end weapon, attack distance 2000 meters, release energy equivalent to 9 kg...". As soon as Ye Feng touched the gun, this information popped up in his mind.
Ye Feng muttered to himself.
"What is actually meant by 'release of energy' here is the final release of energy at a distance of two kilometers under extreme attack." Boy explained.
"What does nine kilograms of TNT equivalent mean in terms of energy?" Ye Feng didn't have a clear concept of this unit.
"Now the planet you're on, a hand grenade is roughly equivalent to seventy-five grams, nine kilograms, you calculate it yourself." Bloy finally took out a reference object.
"That is to say, the final release of energy is equivalent to the power of one hundred and twenty hand grenades exploding?" Ye Feng quickly calculated the power produced by this Gauss gun, but he didn't dare believe it. "You're not kidding me, are you?"
"The products here can be tried before purchase without any charge. However, it is limited to the goods you can see. Of course, some special goods are excluded."
"Try it out?" Ye Feng was just wondering where to try it, when suddenly the surroundings darkened, walls and roofs began to appear around him, enclosing him and Bo Yi within.
In the distance, there was a huge building that looked very strange, like a giant target with concentric circles of colorful lines surrounding the bullseye.
"You can try it out and see if it's useful or not." A hint of a smile appeared on Boyi's face.
"Is it going to make me hit that?" Ye Feng pointed at the uniquely shaped building in the distance.
"Ah, this is a trial venue, don't worry about breaking things, you won't be asked to compensate." Boyi saw Ye Feng's expression and roughly guessed what he was hesitating about.
"This is what you said!" Ye Feng had this sentence, and suddenly had a bottom line in his heart.
He raised the Gauss rifle, aimed at the clear red heart in the distance, and pulled the trigger.
No sound appeared as Ye Feng had imagined, he only vaguely saw a transparent strip flashing from the muzzle, and then saw that the place where the high-rise building was hit suddenly broke apart, and the entire building collapsed with a loud crash.
Ye Feng stared blankly at the scene before him, "Is this still considered a mid-to-low-end civilian weapon?"
"That rating isn't based on the world you're in, but rather a comprehensive rating of all first-class items, including weapons from other galaxies. Ten million dollars may be a large sum in your world, but to some people on certain planets, ten million dollars might only be enough for a meal. It's no wonder this weapon is considered mid-to-low-end." Bo Yi's explanation made Ye Feng furrow his brow.
He originally thought that having nearly 2,000 yuan was already a remarkable thing, but he had no idea that this amount of yuan could be exchanged for $2 million, which was just a drop in the ocean.
The trial space disappeared slowly under Ye Feng's guidance, and he put the Gauss gun back in its original place. Then, he looked at other goods with a somewhat absent-minded expression, looking very quiet.
"Don't be too discouraged, after all, every beginning is difficult. Although 2000 yuan isn't a lot, it's enough to do many things. It will definitely get better slowly in the future!" Bo Yi seemed to know that his previous words were a bit hurtful, so he spoke some comforting words.
"Boyi, is there something here that can make people stronger?" Ye Feng suddenly turned his head and asked.
"What do you mean..." Bo Yi looked at Ye Feng with some doubt.
"Something like a secret book or elixir that can make someone become stronger." Ye Feng looked at Bo Yi with some urgency.
"Some, however, are expensive because they're rare and precious. I advise you not to buy a secret manual carelessly and start cultivating it. The things here are worth the price, similar goods require more value, and the quality must be much higher. Secret manuals are the same, don't be greedy for cheap ones, or else you'll only regret it later." Bo Yi's expression was somewhat serious.
"If it's like this, wanting to cultivate a good secret skill can only wait until later when the domain value is higher." Ye Feng let out a light sigh.
"There are many medicines that can make people stronger, such as genetic medicine. This stuff is not cheap, but the effect is very obvious. The only drawback is that because many high-quality genes come from other species, it leads to gene impurity. When practicing orthodox qigong, this is extremely taboo, and many traditional qigong practices cannot be performed due to changes in genes." Bo Yi explained.
"Of course, if the gene drug you inject only plays a role in gene reinforcement and does not add new genes for genetic modification, then the impact is not that great."
"Gene medicine......" Ye Feng didn't ask Bo Yi again this time, but instead turned an idea over in his mind, and countless shelves reassembled once more.
A variety of colored medicinal liquids made Ye Feng's eyes dazzle.
"This thing is so cheap? I thought my domain value wasn't enough!" Ye Feng laughed.
"I know why you think that, because on Earth the research of this thing is still in its trial phase and hasn't been put into formal production yet. So on Earth, it's natural for this thing to be expensive. But actually, many developed planets have already mass-produced this thing, and some planets have even commercialized it for civilian use." Bo Yi explained with a smile.
"Uh, red enhances strength, blue enhances spiritual power, white enhances speed, these three bottles only need 300 domain points. This golden yellow... " Ye Feng was extremely surprised to pick up a small bottle filled with golden yellow liquid. "Perfect Gene..."
"That's right, Perfect Gene. This doesn't actually count as a genetically modified product because it wasn't the result of scientific research, but rather a formula developed by a great wizard in the Sorcerer's Realm over thousands of years. When taken, this formula doesn't immediately strengthen one's genes, but instead slowly fills in their genetic deficiencies, making them perfect. If the average genetic health of normal people in a world is around 70 points, then Perfect Gene can bring it up to 100 points. And there are no side effects whatsoever." Bo Yi didn't rush Ye Feng to read the product description this time, but instead gave a detailed explanation himself.
"Compared to the effect, this is still quite cheap, but at this price, I still can't afford it. Seeing the four nines on the price tag, Ye Feng helplessly put the item back on the shelf."
"Don't worry, you've already reached 2,000 yuan so quickly, it won't be difficult to reach 10,000." Bo Yi comforted.
"Let me take another look at the Dan medicine class!" As soon as Ye Feng's voice fell, the shelves changed again.
"This red pill is strength-enhancing? So cheap, only 5 points of value?" Ye Feng picked up a bright red pill from the shelf.
"This is cheap, but I suggest you take a good look at the instructions..." Bo Yi looked at Ye Feng's excited expression and shook his head helplessly.
Ye Feng carefully read through the instructions on the dan medicine:
First-order force source pill: It must be taken after the power value reaches a certain level to be effective, and repeated taking of the same numbered pill is invalid. Cannot be stacked with gene medicine effect!
Assuming normal human physical strength as 5 points
After taking the medicine, strength increases by 10, requiring 5 domain points.
After taking the medicine, strength increases by 15, requiring a domain value of 10 points.
After taking the medicine, strength increases by 20, requiring a domain value of 20 points.
After taking the medicine, power is increased by 45, requiring a domain value of 640 points.
After taking the medicine pill, power is increased by 50, requiring a domain value of 1280 points.
After taking the medicine, power is increased to 60, requiring a domain value of 5120 points.
Insufficient permission for domain value, unable to view...
"It seems I was too optimistic," Ye Feng gazed at the rows of striking data. He could calculate with his toes that if he wanted to increase his strength from 90 to 100, what kind of price he would have to pay... That's a whopping 81920 points of domain value...... And after that, from 100 to 200, it would be a staggering 1638400 points, an astronomical price......
"Don't forget, this is just about increasing strength. There's also speed and spirit energy. If you're not fast enough, no matter how strong you are, you'll only get beaten by a stronger opponent. And if your spirit energy isn't enough, your reaction won't be able to keep up with your body, and you won't be able to coordinate your strength and speed properly." Boy reminded him from the side.
"If that's the case, then to truly obtain the corresponding strength, you would need to multiply this value by three. Ye Feng picked up two more elixirs and after taking a brief look at the introductions of the two products, he knew that the calculation method was exactly the same as the Strength Source Pill."
"It's up to you whether to use dan medicine or gene medicine." Bo Yi looked at Ye Feng from afar, "Gene medicine is cheap and can add points to fifty in one go, which is the limit that a normal human body can withstand. If you want to break through further, you can only accumulate domain values and exchange them for secret recipes. If you use dan medicine, there's no need to worry about this at all. You can cultivate scriptures anytime and use dan medicine anytime. However, the drawback is that strengthening power, speed, and spiritual force to fifty points each would require nearly eight thousand domain values, which is roughly ten times the price of gene medicine."
"I choose......" Ye Feng's gaze wavered between the two types of goods on the shelf...
Sorry, this chapter is a bit late today...
