Chapter 77 is here!
Two freeze balls, two bottles of stamina potion, and one bottle of night vision potion.
This is the alchemical artifact that Yu Jing managed to buy after struggling through the crowd; it cost him nearly 30,000 yuan.
The popularity of the scene was indeed beyond his expectations. He learned from other customers that the store might only open three to five times a month, and at irregular times. There was a limit to the number of alchemical artifacts sold each time, and the store would close once they were sold out.
Isn't this just another form of scarcity marketing?
The key point is that the practicality of these alchemical creations has been proven.
Even if those free explorers who are about to venture into dangerous and exotic lands have to tighten their belts, they still have to buy a couple of pieces of clothing for protection.
The reason is simple: similar items are generally controlled by major powers and rarely leak out onto the market.
The Explorers' Headquarters is no exception to this. For example, the props produced by the Research Department of Fengbo Village are always given priority to internal staff. Only when the quantity is too large to be consumed internally or when the products are of poor quality will they be leaked out.
The alchemist behind the alchemy workshop chose to open the shop irregularly, which to some extent ensured that more alchemical creations in the shop could be purchased by free explorers.
So it's no wonder that it has such a good reputation today.
Place the three vials of medicine and the syringe into the same shoulder bag, and hang the freeze ball on the other side of the leather buckle, replacing the two smoke grenades, for easy access at any time.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Jing returned to the Exploration Bureau and headed to Teleportation Room A3.
Unlike the Level 2 exotic realm [Ancient Castle Ruins] experienced during the novice assessment mission, [Blood Healing Land] is a special exotic realm that combines the types of wilderness and kingdom. Not only is it vast in area, but its internal environment is also extremely complex.
The former only requires defeating the boss in the final room; the explorer will automatically return to the teleportation room as the space collapses.
The latter situation is quite different.
"This is a beacon device for the 'Hometown of Blood Therapy,' please keep it safe."
The guide arranged by the Exploration Bureau handed Yu Jing a mechanical artifact shaped like a wristwatch. The dial of the wristwatch was a miniature model of the teleportation device above his head, and there were even faint starlight inside.
"Um, how do I use it?"
Yu Jing took the beacon device, glanced at it, and looked at the guide with a puzzled expression.
The new user manual introduced this thing; it seemed to be an alien positioning device, but he couldn't quite remember how to use it.
"It's very simple. When you finish exploring and are ready to return to Fengbo Village from the [Land of Blood Healing], just take it to any teleportation point in the alien realm... whether it's the starting point where you arrived or a teleportation point you found during your exploration. Press the button on the side, and it will send a signal to our reception room. At that time, someone will come to pick you up and take you back to Fengbo Village."
Although it was somewhat strange that the explorers heading to the Level 4 Exotic Land didn't know how to use the beacon device, the guide patiently explained it, and then added...
"If an accident occurs and the beacon device is lost, you will have to evacuate the alien realm on your own. We cannot guarantee where you will be transported to in the real world."
Most spatial nodes within a different domain are not unique.
Especially in wilderness areas and kingdom-type alien realms, the larger the scale, the higher the probability of multiple spatial nodes appearing.
Most of them allow explorers to return to the present world.
However, due to the different spatial nodes, the locations leading to the present world are naturally different.
The beacon device was designed to ensure that explorers returned to Fengbo Village, and not some strange or remote location.
In addition, "trap" nodes may occasionally appear.
The explorers, instead of successfully returning to the present world or the border region, were transported to another alien realm.
Of course, Yu Jing, who owns the Torch watch, doesn't need to worry about such rare situations.
All the spatial nodes he has come into contact with will be recorded by the Torch Watch's map function unless they completely disappear.
"Let's begin."
Holding his luggage in his arms, Yu Jing signaled that the teleportation could begin.
The thought of embarking on a new journey of exploration in exotic lands made my heart beat a little faster.
The teleportation device activated, and his body transformed into a stream of light, rising into the air, his consciousness gradually fading.
When he regained consciousness, the scene before him had been completely transformed.
The first thing that catches the eye is a dilapidated wooden roof, with several rotten planks suspended in mid-air, clearly the anomaly that serves as a spatial node here.
Through the gap, my gaze fell upon the same murky yellow full moon hanging high in the night sky.
This alien land seemed to have no daytime; both times I entered, it was night.
Yu Jing suddenly sat up, first putting the bag in his arms aside, then drawing his revolver from his waist to be on guard while quickly scanning his surroundings. He found himself in a dilapidated house, now sitting at the dining table in the living room.
After calming down, I immediately checked the map on the Torchwatch to determine my current location.
The person who died in the tavern clinic was a member of the Explorers' Headquarters, just like Yu Jing.
In other words, he most likely entered this alien realm through a teleportation room. The detailed map drawn at the end of the notebook shows that his landing location was not far from the abandoned camp where Yu Jing landed.
Thinking of this, Yu Jing stretched out two fingers to zoom out on the map of the "Blood Therapy Village" on the map page. Sure enough, he quickly found the location of the tower in the upper left of his current location, as well as the surrounding area that had been explored.
I roughly estimated that the distance from this residential building to the tower is about two kilometers.
Yu Jing had no intention of revisiting the place.
Before entering the foreign land, he had already looked at the map many times and memorized the route to the fishing village.
Although this part is still shrouded in mystery on the Torchwatch's map page, he can quickly explore using the map in his notebook and find the fork in the road leading to the fishing village.
After a short rest, Yu Jing pushed open the half-closed, dilapidated wooden door of the house.
Outside the door was the stone path leading to the tavern and clinic, while the area further away was completely occupied by a dark, dense forest.
While browsing the official website recently, Yu Jing learned that the time flow in the "Hometown of Blood Therapy" is basically consistent with reality.
This means that his novice trial is a special case.
Nearly a month had passed since he last entered this alien land.
A cold wind carrying the stench of decay and fish blew in my face, and the gray fog in the woods seemed to have thickened even more.
[Spiritual Awakening] The enhanced perception is constantly issuing warnings that this woodland is more dangerous than before!
Fortunately, Yu Jing didn't slack off; he actually improved his personal skills during this time.
He is no longer the flustered vagrant he once was, but now has the ability and confidence to stride forward!
