Chapter 148 Explosive Bombs and Colorful Bracelets
"Two more days."
Xia lay on the table, counting the days until Nellis's concert.
They had a great time during this period and went to the "Forest House" no less than three times. They returned with a lot of things every time. However, looking at their increasingly dwindling wallets, the girls finally came to their senses and chose to stay in the hostel.
Luo Qiu didn't have this concern. When he had nothing to do these few days, he ran almost every street and alley in the imperial capital. He not only saw and tasted many unique delicacies of the imperial capital, but also bought some strange little gadgets.
For example, the small and exquisite golden bomb in his hand is said to have a power between primary magic and intermediate magic. It is made using alchemical technology. Unlike magic scrolls, the price of bombs is dozens of times cheaper than magic scrolls of the same level, and it can be mass-produced. It can even be wholesaled in the Starlight Trading Company in the imperial capital, but not many people are interested in it.
The reason is very simple. According to the alchemist who invented the explosive bomb, eight out of ten bombs were duds after a batch of bombs were produced.
If you are unlucky, it is not uncommon to encounter ten duds in a row. It is said that not long after the explosive bombs were launched on the market, a gold-level adventurer bought two hundred of them at once. After being attacked during an adventure, he threw out all two hundred bombs, but was shocked. None of the two hundred bombs exploded, and he and his companions were almost beaten to death by the monsters that swarmed over them. Fortunately, a glory-level adventurer happened to pass by and saved his and his companions' lives.
From then on, the gold-level adventurer publicly announced that he would never use such a luck-based thing again in his life, and he also severely condemned the alchemist who invented the bomb. He said that such a thing with too much randomness should not be put on sale in advance, which was irresponsible to the buyers.
This also completely extinguished the thoughts of some adventurers who were planning to buy a few more bombs to try their luck. Instead of pinning their hopes on such a one in ten chance of success, it would be better to save more money to buy magic scrolls. Although it is a bit expensive, at least they won't have to worry about failure all day long.
Of course, Luo Qiu did not have such worries. With the scan of the "Eye of Living Beings", he could tell at a glance which were duds and which were real bombs.
But even though he could see through it, Luo Qiu couldn't help but grin. Who the hell said that eight out of ten were duds? It was obviously good enough that one out of a hundred could explode. With a probability of one percent, it was normal for that golden-level adventurer to buy two hundred and not have any explosions. If someone with a darker face had encountered three or four hundred duds in a row, it would not be surprising.
Luo Qiu picked and chose among thousands of dud bombs, and finally bought less than fifty real explosive bombs. He walked away amid the contemptuous looks of the staff of Starlight Trading Company.
Originally, the staff member saw Luo Qiu being picky and thought he might be a big customer, but who would have thought that he would only buy such a small amount in the end. Nowadays, people either disdain things like bombs that require a bit of luck and just buy a bunch of magic scrolls, or they buy a thousand or eight hundred at once. For someone like Luo Qiu who picked and chose but only bought such a small amount, the staff member thought there was only one reason - he was a poor guy.
How could he have imagined that all the live ammunition in this batch of bombs had been bought up by the "poor guys" in his eyes, and the rest were all defective, that is, duds.
As for what would happen if some buyers later bought duds, that was not within Luo Qiu's consideration. It would be a shame not to take advantage of a bargain, and he should not miss out on a benefit that comes right to his door.
So after receiving a batch of practical explosive bombs, Luo Qiu would take out two and play with them in his hands when he had nothing to do, thinking about when he would try the power of this thing. It should be fun to throw something like a grenade.
"You're playing with this thing again." Xia looked at the explosive bomb in Luo Qiu's hand and said with disdain: "You're actually trying to snatch things from low-level adventurers. You really don't have any sense of being a strong person? Any magic you cast is more reliable than this thing."
"How do you know this thing is unreliable?" Luo Qiu said seriously, "I think the ones I bought should all be able to explode."
"Wake up, it's daytime." Xia reminded.
"If you don't believe it, forget it." Luo Qiu shook his head. No one believed the truth these days.
You can tell from the looks around you that, apart from Mengli, Leticia also has a look of distrust on her face, and even Yuni's expression looks a little unnatural.
"Hey." Luo Qiu waved his hand, and thirty more explosive bombs appeared on the table. He gave ten to Xia, Letilia, and Yuni, and said, "Keep them all. These things may be unexpectedly useful."
"It would be great if we could just have one fried." Xia said this but his hands and feet were not slow at all. He quickly put his pile into the bag.
"Luo Qiu, where's mine?" Meng Li asked dissatisfiedly. She was left alone after giving it to everyone else. Meng Li felt very sad. "Do you still need this kind of thing?" Luo Qiu scratched his head.
This is truly useless to a sequence powerhouse like Meng Li. If she faces an enemy she cannot defeat, even if she has a thousand explosive bombs, it will be useless.
"I don't care, I want it too."
The girl's coquettishness is the most touching thing, not to mention that this girl is a stunningly beautiful true vampire.
Meng Li's beautiful rose-like lips were slightly pouted, and her amber eyes revealed deep dissatisfaction.
Luo Qiu was defeated in just one second. He thought for a moment, took out an exquisitely carved colorful bracelet from the "Infinite Space" and handed it to Meng Li.
"Wow! What is this?"
The moment the colorful bracelet was taken out, the girls could no longer see anything else and gathered around.
"This is..." Luo Qiu was about to explain when he discovered that the colorful bracelet on his hand was gone.
"."
Seeing Mengli holding the colorful bracelet tightly like a protective child and staring at Xia and the others with a vigilant look on his face, Luo Qiu couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
"Hey, third-rate adventurer, you are too partial to one and the other. The gap is too big." Xia's words were full of resentment.
Leticia looked at the colorful bracelet on Mengli's hand with some envy and didn't say much. She always thought that Luo Qiu and Mengli were in a relationship, so it was normal to give each other some jewelry. The only surprise was that the colorful bracelet was so beautiful that it even emitted a faint colorful light. It was very beautiful. Basically no girl is immune to this kind of thing.
"Don't look at me, I really only have one."
Luo Qiu raised his hands with a slightly innocent expression.
He was not lying. Jewelry items were already extremely rare in Burning God Realm, not to mention the colorful artifact-level jewelry. Even he, the Sky Thief who had plundered the entire game's resources, only had three jewelry artifact items in total. One of them, the 'Heaven-Covering Divine Ring', was always worn by him, and the Colorful Light Bracelet was given to Meng Li. The last one was a bit special, being a bound item and could not be given as a gift.
Xia curled her lips. She also knew that such a precious thing should be extremely rare. She was just a little indignant that the treatment was so different. There was no comparison between the explosive bomb and the precious prop bracelet.
It was obviously me who got to know this guy first, how disloyal.
"Oh, let me just bleed a lot this time." Luo Qiu said helplessly.
Overtime is over. I will be in seclusion for a day tomorrow. I will code more to prevent accidents during the Chinese New Year~~~Also, thank you to the friends who voted for recommendations in the past two days~~~
