Chapter87: Uncommon Items With Little Value
In theory, there were items on every level of the World Tower.
However, Wang Wen did not know about some of them, and he had forgotten about some of them.
In his previous life, he had been with the First Consortium. He had familiarize himself with all reports from the intelligence department. In addition, he had accumulated many years of experience from climbing the tower. One could say he knew where most items might appear in the World Tower.
However, the World Tower was too big.
Even if it were the same type of checkpoint, the terrain and environment might vary.
Not to mention that they might only encounter some special checkpoints once in a blue moon.
Memorizing by repetition would not work at all. Wang Wen relied more on his experience to find the key points that were similar and then used those points to infer the most likely answer.
At the grassland…
Wang Wen was not familiar with that.
However, it was not without a clue.
Ordinary levels were not worth thinking about, but an extreme level like 30 was.
He led the two of them randomly and scattered some special powder on the ground to observe the soil.
They walked and stopped.
After observing for a while, they adjusted their direction and walked to the left.
A small lake filled with potholes soon appeared in front of him.
The lake was very shallow, and there was very little water.
As a result, there was a lot of mud at the edge of the lake, like puddles created by raindrops on a rainy day.
Many creatures surrounded the small lake and drank water.
The stronger ones drank directly from the lake.
The weaker ones could only lick the muddy puddles at the edge of the lake.
Wang Wen took out a bottle of Body Health Water and drank a few mouthfuls. He looked at the lake in front of him and said to the two people beside him, “If I’m not wrong, there are items at the bottom of the lake. Do you have a way to dry the lake? ”
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo were a little speechless.
No matter how shallow the lake was, its surface was big. If they wanted to dry the lake, they would have to use a high-powered pump.
It was impossible to do it by relying on manpower alone.
Wang Wen nodded and said, “Then there’s nothing we can do.”
The two of them thought that he was planning to leave.
They did not expect him to close his eyes and open them. Then, a transparent circle seemed to appear around his body.
Wang Wen jumped into the lake with the circle. When he entered the water, he saw a spherical space in the lake. He could not see it until the water line covered his head.
After a while, the center of the lake churned. It was as if a giant hand was stirring at the water’s bottom. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water.
The two of them were worried.
Zhu Xingguo changed his coat and prepared to go into the water to help.
However, before he could take off his pants, Wang Wen slowly came ashore not far away, covered in mud.
The two of them quickly went up to him. They heard him say, smiling, “There’s a big crocodile down there that’s quite difficult to deal with. Fortunately, we’re quite lucky. It’s a rare item.”
He opened his palm, and there were a few things that looked like round pearls on his palm.
Ren Rouroucuriously called the drone to scan the information on the items.
The few pearls were called Shear Water Beads.
They felt soft to the touch, like a gumdrop.
One could put any liquid in it and squeeze it to absorb the liquid. As long as the pearls did not melt or corrode, one could continue squeezing the pearl for it to absorb the liquid. One only needed to press them again to absorb more of the liquid.
It was a small bead with ample space to absorb about a thousand liters of liquid.
To release the absorbed liquid, one had to tear the bead in half and throw it out. When it touched an object, it would release all the liquid it had absorbed.
However, once torn, the bead would be considered broken. It could only be used once though it could absorb any liquid indefinitely.
Ren Rourou looked at the item information and said in puzzlement, “At first glance, the function seems very powerful, but if you think about it carefully, you don’t know how to use it. In particular, the one-time release has a lot of restrictions. Even if it was used to store drinking water, it was only good for one-time use.”
She looked at Wang Wen’s expression and said carefully, “It seems to be of little value.”
Wang Wen, however, smiled and said casually, “There are eight beads. It’s not easy to split them if the quantity is too small. We can exchange one for points later. If you want it, you can also exchange it with me. We can deduct 10 percent of the points in advance to make up the difference. ”
Zhu Xingguo expressed that he did not care. Everything was fine.
Ren Ruoruo was a little curious.
After all, the item was rare.
No matter how useless it was, it was still a rare item produced by the World Tower!
Bringing it with her would give her more confidence.
She asked curiously, “Captain, how much do you think it’s worth?”
Wang Wen thought for a moment, then said, “Like you said, this kind of item looks useless and is usually not sold at a high price on the market. Unless someone had a specific reason to charge a high price, I guess it’s about the same price as an ordinary item like the Body Health Water.”
“A rare item sold for only 2,000 points?”
Ren Rourou stuck out her tongue and lost her last bit of interest.
She no longer paid attention to the rare item and turned her head to the drone to check the progress of the checkpoint.
She realized that even though the progress was less than 20 percent, it was still moving. She sighed. “Those two are so strong. They are actually still alive. ”
Zhu Xingguo chuckled a few times. No one knew what he was trying to say.
Wang Wen put the water beads away. When he heard that, he raised his head in surprise, “Is that so?”
He thought for a moment, clapped his hands, and said, “Then let’s eat!”
Climbers would not usually know when breakfast, lunch, and dinner were.
They would eat when they were hungry or when they were free.
The last meal for the three of them was instant noodles cooked with wild vegetables from the river on the 21st floor.
Who knew how many hours had passed?
When they heard Wang Wen mention eating, Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo immediately felt hungry and agreed.
They did not care about the other two men.
Zhu Xingguo looked around and analyzed the surrounding terrain. “We need to find a flat and dry place. I’ll clean up the weeds. It can be used as a kindling object and empty the field of vision, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Ren Ruoruo looked at the water in the lake. “Those animals are drinking it, so it shouldn’t be poisonous, right? I’ll get some charcoal to filter and use to boil water. ”
She did it right away.
Zhu Xingguo was a man of action. He picked a dry, flat place away from the lake and cleaned up the weeds.
Ren Ruoruo found a dried tree trunk nearby and dragged it to the fire point. She used her machete to hack it open and send it into the fire pit.
Seeing that the two of them were working so hard…
Wang Wen thought for a moment, then turned around and walked into the lake. “Can you guys think of a way to get a barbeque rack? We can have a barbecue today. I’ll get the ingredients.”
Zhu Xingguo was sweating profusely from cutting the grass. He stood up and looked at his captain jumping into the lake. He asked Ren Ruoruo in confusion, “How is he going to find ingredients in the lake? Are we going to eat fish?”
Ren Ruoruo shook her head in confusion.
Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something.
She covered her mouth in shock.
Not long after, the center of the lake began to churn again.
It was as if a giant hand caught a fish at the bottom of the water.
Ren Ruoruo’s face was very expressive. She looked at the small lake and sighed, “That’s unfortunate. Why did it have to provoke our captain?
“What are you talking about?” Zhu Xingguo, still mowing the grass, raised his head and asked.
Ren Ruoruo did not need to answer.
Wang Wen had already dragged a long black shadow out of the lake and onto the shore.
Zhu Xingguo focused his eyes and was shocked. “A big crocodile?”
Ren Ruoruo drooled. “It’s so big. Just looking at it makes me want to eat it!”
Zhu Xingguo asked, “Can we even eat that?”
Ren Ruoruo looked at him as. “What? Don’t you know that crocodile meat is a great tonic? It’s usually something that only the rich can eat!”
“Oh, really?” Zhu Xingguo instantly drooled.
He could not wait to run up and help the captain clean up the giant crocodile.
