Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 492 Version Event

3000 cake coupon fragments are not too shabby, they can be exchanged for 30 hair growth cakes, almost enough to maintain one's hair density for a year and a half.

And if you're not planning on using them yourself, right now the market price for cake coupon fragments is floating around 60 yuan per piece, sell them and you can quickly cash in nearly 200,000.

That sum of money is a huge temptation for ordinary players, yet the bosses are more interested in those three Purple Bones.

Just how difficult it is to get Purple Bones, no one knows better than these cash players who stand at the pinnacle of gamers.

In other games, purple equipment is generally just transitional gear, but in this game, Purple Bones are genuinely rare. Since server launch, there are only two people who have Purple Bones—Boss Ma, and another mysterious player whose ID is Random Beat.

There's no need to discuss Boss Ma; his restaurant does promotions with Red Ridge every day, and he has some kind of under-the-table deal with the production team, so it's not surprising that he gets his hands on some awesome gear.

As for Random Beat, aside from occasionally teaming up with Ma Lu, she always goes solo. No one knows where she got her Purple Bones from. Once, a boss offered her 300,000 to buy a Purple Bone, but she refused.

After that, fewer people came looking for her.

As for those who harbored ulterior motives, they existed, but after seeing her combat strength, they mostly decided to be good people instead.@@@@

At most, they hoped for her to slip up while fighting monsters, die, and possibly leave some bones for them to pick up.

However, this never happened—not because Random Beat has never died, quite the opposite, her death count is quickly approaching three digits.

While pioneering the wilderness, upon encountering new monsters, she usually dies once or twice.

But whenever Random Beat went to test a monster's strength, she would remove her valuable bones beforehand, and only after getting a grasp of the tactics would she re-equip and deal with it in one go. Therefore, she hasn't slipped up to date.

And this method of sacrificially pioneering she developed is now also being adopted by mainstream players.

After all, low-level bones aren't worth much; the Abyss is full of them, pick up some casually when you're out, and you'll have enough for resurrection.

It's a bit slow to understand the monsters' capabilities before making a move, but it's better than crying over bursting a rare bone with nowhere to turn.

I digress, but the point is, Purple Bones are enough to drive all players crazy.

And this time, the project team must have been hit by some inspiration; they gave away three at once, and those 1000 Blood Clams are also precious, equivalent to the universal currency of the Abyss, which can be used in town to purchase various goods and services.

Fortunately, a moment later, the Flame Demon took the initiative to say, "You..."

"I'll also go look for Boss Ma."

"No," the Flame Demon pondered for a moment then said, "You keep watching that shipment. If Boss Ma comes back safe and sound, the plan remains the same."

"Ah, won't it be too late then?"

"It won't, I heard there was a delay over there as well. Go keep an eye out first, we'll discuss when Boss Ma is back."

"Understood, boss." The eyeball closed its eyes, and the light of a magic circle glowed beneath its feet.

Just then, it heard the voice of the Flame Demon again, "Remember, don't screw up again, my patience is limited."

The large eyeball trembled, and then vanished, leaving only the Flame Demon in the room with a gloomy expression.

......

Ma Lu hid behind a large stone, watching as a blue-skinned Goblin dispatched the player he had just encountered by chance.

He was becoming aware of more and more irregularities, but considering his relationship with the Red Ridge Project Team, and how much Baldy needed him, Ma Lu felt it didn't make sense for them to turn against him.

So it was an accident?

Forget it, thinking about it now doesn't help, Ma Lu tried to summon the Chef's Knife, and it appeared in his right hand.

This was both good news and bad news for him.

The good news was that he now had a weapon; the bad news was that this meant it wasn't just some VR immersion game.

It looked like he had truly arrived in the Abyss, a pity because he wasn't out buying ingredients, he didn't bring his Collection Bag or the Blessing of Fate.

Especially the latter, which had always been his most powerful ace, but he was wearing the Traveler's Bracelet, which he didn't take off daily.

He habitually activated the food ingredient scanning feature, took a quick scan, but found no ingredients nearby.

In the Abyss, aside from the Brave adventurers who venture here, there shouldn't be human habitation, so it was very unlikely to find anything edible by humans, but Ma Lu wasn't hungry at the moment anyway.
