Chapter 53: 52: "Prop Name": Pitch-Black Coffin.
```
"Don't bother with him."
```
As the boss hesitated, not knowing how to respond, Chen Miao stepped forward to ease the tension and glanced at the array of coffins inside the shop. He pointed to a wooden coffin and asked, "How much for this one?"
"This one's made of pine," replied the shopkeeper.
Seeing that Chen Miao appeared to be the leader, the shopkeeper quickly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead before adding, "The price for this standard-sized one is 500 credit points."
"We have inventory in stock for this model, so if you want to buy in bulk, you can take them right now..."
As he said this, the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth still twitched involuntarily. What kind of world was this? He was just a distributor, and now he was almost becoming a wholesale factory.
"500 credit points?"
Chen Miao raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. This was his first time buying a coffin, and he didn't expect them to be so cheap; a tightly made coffin for just 500 yuan?
Would that even cover the material and labor costs?
Could it be this honest?
Wasn't this a much better deal than buying a bed?
Without any hesitation, Chen Miao gestured for Hungry Monkey to go pay, "Make it 17, a total of 8500. Can you deliver?"
```
"Sure, free delivery within ten kilometers."
```
"Deliver to the outskirts of Fengtian City, 'Eternal Cemetery,' someone will meet you at the entrance."
"Understood!"
...
The deal was quickly sealed, and he didn't linger there too long. These matters were trivial and not worth his considerable effort.
But as he was about to leave the Seventh District,
He suddenly saw the owner of Haina Supernatural Store, out of breath, jogging from behind to stop him, and whispered in a lowered voice as if imparting a secret, "Miao, didn't you just say you needed to buy coffins?"
"Hmm, what's up?"
Chen Miao glanced at the coffin shop behind him and said casually, "I've already purchased them all, got anything else?"
"I do!"
The shopkeeper nodded earnestly, "The moment you guys left, I received a Supernatural Prop in the form of a coffin. Thinking you'd be interested and hadn't gone too far, I immediately came out to find you."
"Why don't you take a look, see if you're interested in taking it?"
"Oh?"
Chen Miao nodded thoughtfully and signaled for the shopkeeper to lead the way to take a look. A Supernatural Prop in the form of a coffin? That sounded quite interesting, but since he didn't have any extra money to buy it, he could only just look.
After all, the owner still had a Gunman Profession prop, 'Gun Forest Bullet Rain,' that he was keeping for him, and he hadn't bought it yet; money was a bit tight.
Although he did have some money in hand.
But he couldn't spend it all, could he? So many people depended on him for their daily needs, especially Hungry Monkey, with his appetite—a few dozen steamed buns wouldn't be enough for just one meal.
And to eat so much without fear of constipation.
...
Soon, Chen Miao and his group returned to Haina Supernatural Store, where the shopkeeper mysteriously pulled a huge coffin out of his backpack and placed it on the ground, indicating for Chen Miao to look at the prop panel.
At first glance, the coffin was slightly larger than a regular one.
But not by much, definitely not too cramped if two people were to lie in it side by side.
All pitch-black.
As if it wanted to absorb all the surrounding light.
-
"Prop Name": Pitch-Black Coffin.
"Prop Level": E-rank.
"Prop Effect": Each time a player lies in this coffin for a full 20 hours, they gain one Strength Attribute Point, with a maximum of five points. Once the five Strength Attribute Points have been obtained, the coffin becomes a mundane item.
"Prop Restriction": Exclusive to Gunman, Night Beauty, Cleaner, and Driver occupations.
"Prop Description": 'In the darkness of night, one often finds special gifts from the Grim Reaper.'
-
"Hmm," Chen Miao nodded thoughtfully as he looked at the panel before him. Up to now, the only way for players to gain Attribute Points was through leveling up, receiving one Attribute Point per level up, although Attribute Exchange Coupons could also provide Free Attribute Points, but only up to a maximum of five.
That meant if there were other ways to gain Attribute Points, whether through props or any other means, their value would be incalculable.
It also meant that when facing foes of the same level, one could possibly crush the opposition directly on the attribute level.
That's what people usually refer to as foundational strength.
The only drawback of this prop was that it was limited to four professions, which significantly decreased its potential price ceiling. Otherwise, those fighters who were not short on money would probably be at each other's throats for these five free Attribute Points that came out of nowhere.
Gunman, Night Beauty, and Cleaner all belong to Supernatural Occupations.
Night Beauty is a Supernatural Occupation that players can choose to change into after leveling up to Lv.10 'Miss.'
Cleaner is a Supernatural Occupation that represents a career path change option after reaching Lv. 10 'Janitor.'
Both those Occupations are special Supernatural Occupations that one can switch to after leveling a certain Lifestyle Occupation to a required level. Only the driver is a Lifestyle Occupation.
"Your price."
Chen Miao was concise as he uttered these two words. He wanted this prop. He initially didn't plan to buy it due to financial constraints, but with this occupation restriction, the price of the prop had plummeted, and he might afford it. Read more content on m-vl-em-pyr
Those four occupations were ones only selected by people with no money.
How high could you possibly expect to sell it for?
"This much!"
The shopkeeper earnestly extended his index finger, "100,000 credit points. This price is absolutely fair. 20,000 for a Strength Attribute Point—those fighters whose heads are filled with muscles and who are incredibly rash without thinking would go crazy if they heard this."
"Absolutely a bargain!"
Standing to the side, Hungry Monkey looked toward the shopkeeper with a slightly displeased expression, his eyes squinting slightly, but he remained silent, wondering what was happening covertly.
"Ninety thousand."
Chen Miao shook his head, "I've only got 90,000 credit points left in my pocket. If that's okay, let's make the deal now."
Indeed, Hungry Monkey's account had just over 90,000 credit points left. It seemed this deal wasn't big enough, and he was still a bit short on money. He planned to sell the remaining 23 "AI Pills" later to replenish his funds.
"This..."
After a moment of hesitation, the shopkeeper nodded, "Deal."
...
The coffin was a Supernatural Prop, and simply stuffing it into the backpack would suffice, saving the trouble of transportation.
Chen Miao and Hungry Monkey meanwhile went their separate ways from Yuan Buping and the others, returning to the cemetery first. He asked Yuan Buping and the others to buy some daily necessities and, by the way, sell the remaining 20 "AI Pills" to recoup some money.
He kept three for his own use.
It was twilight now, the sun hanging halfway in the sky, looking like it was almost asleep.
Chen Miao, with Hungry Monkey, had already arrived at the familiar Sankui Wilderness; it was still deserted, and the wrecked jeep from the previous night had long been towed away. Seeing no one around,
he pulled out his Tao Wood · Thompson Submachine Gun from his breast pocket, ready to test out his newly acquired skill.
