Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 58

Option two is 85.7%, and option three is 14.3%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Exchange money to buy scrolls]

……

"It's really worth the money."

After confirming, Zheng Zhuo said.

"Three skills. Lv.2's [Ice Wind] and [Ice Cone], Lv.1's [Frost], all are instant cast. But we... I can't use it."

"Aha! This is a big profit, a big profit!"

Zhuang Yusheng rubbed his hands.He just waited for this sentence.

……

After making full use of Zheng Zhuo's [Appraisal], Zhuang Yusheng replaced the [Winter Ring] with a golden coin.The amount of coins was so large that Zheng Zhuo was worried that he would just abandon himself and run away with his property.

However, the facts proved that Zhuang Yusheng was even more greedy than Zheng Zhuo thought.He wants to eat everything he can.

As a teammate, Zhuang Yusheng is really a bad candidate.

But for Zheng Zhuo now, the "bad candidate" is just the most suitable candidate.

Zheng Zhuo released 【Healing】on himself intermittently.He recovered slowly, from being able to sit up, to being able to eat and drink, to be able to move freely, and then to remove the bandages.Everything happened faster than he imagined.

And the time is just as the pastor of the church said, it is seven days.

……

[There are still 49 days until the world is destroyed]

"okay."

Zheng Zhuo straightened up.The bandage fell to the ground with the movement of his hand.

He straightened his upper body and flexed his shoulders.

Has fully recovered. The magic of [Dungeon World] is really incredible - in reality, it is impossible to recover at this speed from a wound of this degree.

"(It's better to say that there are no infections and complications. In reality, it's a question of whether you can survive...)"

Zheng Zhuo has escaped from the brink of death many times.He's starting to worry about whether he'll get used to it: that's not a good sign.

Regardless of whether it will have adverse effects after returning to reality.Just in the three worlds he experienced [Small Town World], [Ocean World] and [Dungeon World], his attitude towards "injury" and "death" is completely different.

"The outlook on life and values ​​have been blown away..."

Zheng Zhuo sighed and started to pack his things.

at this time.

He noticed the cylindrical paper tube leaning against his coat.

"Paper tube?"

By the way, this is when he just climbed to the top of the giant mushroom man, he used [Mage Hand] to pull it off the side of the messenger bag.

Zheng Zhuo opened the paper tube.It was found that there was a long silver whistle inside.The body of the whistle is streamlined, imitating the shape of a fish.

"what is this?"

Zheng Zhuo opened [Appraisal].

……

【Flying Whistle】

flying props.

After being cast, it flies 30 meters in the air and makes a loud whistle.Can attract creatures within a radius of 300 meters.

……

This is a very useful prop!

Maybe the original owner prepared this to deal with the kobold settlement on the third floor of the dungeon.However, before reaching the third floor, the item was lost on the second floor.

Zheng Zhuo left the room, and showed [Flying Whistle] to Zhuang Yusheng, who fondly stroked the big bag of gold coins.

"Oh!"

Zhuang Yusheng's eyes also brightened.but……

His follow-up reaction was not as exciting as Zheng Zhuo expected.

"[Flying Whistle] is not bad. However, this is a one-off." He twisted the tail of the flying whistle and showed Zheng Zhuo the cavity on the back, "Look, it has only one ring here. The flying whistle is through The clasp makes sound through the cavity, and there is only one clasp, that is to say, it can only ring once. The attraction radius is 300 meters... It’s not bad, but according to my memory, the settlement of the kobolds is long and narrow, and it may be several kilometers.”

"It can only attract 300 meters, which is not enough. It still has a large sound range, a long firing distance, and a [Bomb] that has destructive effects. But having a [Flying Whistle] is better than nothing."

Zhuang Yusheng came to such a conclusion.

"What? Looking at you like this, do you want to buy scrolls with money?"

"Buying scrolls is better than buying [bombs]." Zheng Zhuo said, "Our ultimate goal is to take the sapphire from the blue dragon. The spell will be more effective at that time than using a one-time bomb that has been lost. "

"It doesn't matter to me." Zhuang Yusheng raised his brows, "It saves money. I bought too much last time, and the local [Bomb] has started to increase in price due to scarcity."

"How much did you buy last time?"

"A portion of 50 gold coins...about 1000."

……

At that time, Zhuang Yusheng just said it casually, and Zheng Zhuo just listened casually, without taking it to heart.

When they walked through the remaining distance of the poisonous swamp on the second day and came to the entrance of the third floor, they realized the impact of 1000 [Bombs] firsthand.

"...How did you throw [Bomb] into the kobold camp before?"

Zheng Zhuo asked as he looked at the ten-meter-high door, which was made of airtight iron sheets and copper plates, which blocked the passage tightly.

"I didn't have this thing when I came here before!" Zhuang Yusheng looked at the spikes standing on the iron sheet, feeling terrified, "Before, this was just a small fence gate! I just put [Explosive Bomb] Just throw it from above!"

Zheng Zhuo pressed his forehead.

He originally wanted to see the actual situation in the kobold camp before deciding which scroll to buy.

But now it seems that his first choice will be magic that can smash the door.

after that……

He wasn't sure if he'd be able to return safely after smashing the door.So, he had to buy other scrolls by guesswork first.

According to Zhuang Yusheng, there are many sentry towers in the kobold camp.When he himself fell into this world, he had seen the camp full of spikes.

At that time, he also saw many burrowers being used by kobolds.Those creatures can approach enemies silently from the ground.

Therefore, Zheng Zhuo now needs three types of magic.

First, the magic that breaks the gates of a kobold camp.

Second, magic that can attract the attention of kobolds.

Third, magic that dispels or defeats burrowing creatures.

It can be magic that can be done by itself, or it can be combined with [Fireball], [Mage Hand] and [Healing] to achieve the effect.

Returning from the connection between the second and third floors of the dungeon, Zheng Zhuo plunged into the market.

With a limited budget, he selected many undecided products.
