The death of the golden rat attracted all the residents in the building. They quickly came to the first floor and collected the gold coins scattered on the ground. There were quite a few, more than a thousand. After they collected the gold coins, they were surprised.
He didn't keep it for himself, but piled it all on the golden rat skin.
The golden gold coins exude an attractive luster.
Everyone is very eager, but they follow the rules in the building.
Only adventurers who hunt monsters are eligible to distribute the trophies, and adventurers must abide by the rules and distribute the trophies to everyone who participates in the action and provides help.
Li Yi didn't know these rules, but he saw the desire for gold coins in these people's eyes.
But to him, these gold coins are of no use.
Because he is not a permanent resident in the building, but an outsider, and does not need to live here for a long time. He just wants to understand this weird place here, so he just went forward and grabbed a handful of gold coins at random, and then said:
"You should divide the remaining gold coins equally. It can be regarded as a meeting gift from me."
"Very good."
Everyone cheered, and immediately several elderly people stood up and began to distribute the gold coins in front of them.
They have their own set of allocation criteria.
That's on a per-capita basis.
Everyone got more than a dozen gold coins, and some families of four or five received dozens of them at once. This money was undoubtedly a huge fortune for them and could allow them to live for a long time.
.
After the gold coins were distributed, there was only a piece of golden rat skin left on the ground.
The intact golden rat skin seems to be a treasure here as well.
But no one touched this piece of golden rat skin, which seemed to belong to Li Yi by default.
Li Yi saw this and picked up the golden rat skin.
He reached out and touched it and felt it.
It's indeed a bit miraculous.
It is soft and comfortable, has strong warmth retention, and seems to have strong defensive power. Of course, this is also for ordinary people. For outside practitioners like Li Yi, the defensive power is still not worth mentioning.
At this time, the girl named Bai You came over with more than a dozen gold coins in her hand and said: "This golden rat skin is very rare. Wearing it allows you to enter a room and take away the treasures inside, but it can only be used once."
, it will be damaged after one time. I once saw a man wearing a golden rat skin entering a room. He took away a battle axe, and later used that battle ax to kill many monsters."
When Li Yi heard this, he immediately thought of the side rooms he encountered in the passage before.
I didn't expect this golden rat skin to be used like this.
"Interesting stuff."
Li Yi then put away the golden rat skin and said, "How many monsters are there in this building?"
Bai You said: "There is another dead soul monster on the twenty-fifth floor, which is also locked in the room. However, the dead soul monster is difficult to deal with. If you want to kill it, you must use the dead soul sickle."
"Dead soul monster? Is it the kind of thing that floats in the sky?" Li Yi heard her description and immediately remembered the strange thing from before.
Bai You nodded and said, "Yes."
"How to get the Dead Soul Scythe?" Li Yi asked again.
"Kill a dead soul monster and you can steal its dead soul sickle." Bai You said.
""Li Yi thinks this answer is really good.
If you don't have the Death Soul Scythe, you can't kill the Death Soul Monster, and if you can't kill the Death Soul Monster, you can't get the Death Soul Scythe.
It's really a perfect closed loop.
"But you can go to the store and have a look. There may be something to deal with the dead soul monster there." Bai You said, mentioning the store again.
Li Yi weighed the gold coins in his hand: "Okay, I'll go to the store on the tenth floor to have a look."
He did not hesitate and immediately walked upstairs again. In order to attract less attention, Li Yi did not choose to use the soaring cloud technique.
soon.
He met Xuan Yuezi and then came to the tenth floor.
The entire tenth floor is dedicated to shops, but many shops are closed, and only one shop still has its lights on.
The style of the store is a bit old, like the style of the 1980s.
However, the strange thing is that the owner of the store is not a living person, but a withered corpse. The corpse is sitting in front of the counter, motionless. There is an old TV set next to it. The TV has no signal.
There was a constant rustling sound, but there were many things on display in the store.
There are rice, soy sauce, salt, clothes, cloth and other daily necessities, as well as scissors, kitchen knives, and other tools, and even cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine. This is like a large supermarket that can meet all your daily needs.
.
In addition, there are many weapons, including cold weapons, swords, guns, hot weapons, pistols, shotguns, and explosives.
However, these things are within the scope of Li Yi's cognition and are nothing.
But some things have broken away from the ordinary category and involve transcendence and spiritual practice.
For example, Li Yi saw a magic book on a shelf, which was locked with iron chains. It looked ancient and mysterious. Another example was that he saw an elf in an iron cage, but the elf was not the same.
Not as beautiful as in fairy tales, but skinny, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and extremely ugly.
"I see, the survival of the building depends on this weird store." Li Yi now understood why the people in this building have been able to live here for decades.
As long as this weird shop continues, people can stay at home.
The huge corpse in the middle of the building can also exude a strange energy field, nourishing the people in the building so that they will not become weak and sick due to this harsh environment. At the same time, the corpse can also withstand danger.
Invasion.
Although the corpses in the building are rotting and their protective capabilities are weakening, if the monsters can be hunted and their blood poured on the corpses, the decay rate of the corpses can be slowed down, and the corpses can even repair themselves.
If this set of rules continues to operate like this, there will indeed be no problem.
But people are complex and changeable.
It is not difficult to infer from the situation in this building that there was indeed a prosperous time here, but as time passed, it declined, with only more than a hundred residents left. Perhaps the situation in other buildings would be different.
It's much better, but it's only a matter of time before the world inside the building comes to an end.
Because it's simple.
Once the number of people in the building decreases to a certain level, the balance will be broken, and there will be problems with the operation of the building. Even if you want to save it, you will be unable to do anything.
But if there are too many people, then contradictions and conflicts are inevitable.
Just when Li Yi was thinking.
The residents who had been allocated gold coins before also came to the store one after another. They took the gold coins to buy a large amount of daily necessities, carrying various food and drink items and left. However, before leaving the store, they would put down a gold coin.
The mummy sitting on the counter put the gold coins into the drawer below.
Li Yi saw a man put down a gold coin and then left carrying dozens of bags of rice. Obviously the purchasing power of a gold coin was stronger than imagined, and the strange thing was that the rice seemed to be endless, constantly flowing from the rice warehouse.
Falling down from the middle, he also saw a woman holding a gold coin to the mummy, indicating that she wanted to pay the electricity and water bills.
After the mummy accepted the gold coins, a house immediately turned on the lights.
"Is this okay?" Li Yi was stunned when he saw it.
There were even people holding sick children and holding gold coins to ask the mummy to treat the disease. The mummy raised its skinny arms, as if casting witchcraft, and a light green light appeared and shone on the child, and the child's illness was immediately cured.
.
And after observation, he discovered.
The most basic food and drink in the store are very cheap, but the really expensive items are weapons and extraordinary items.
Because until now Li Yi has never seen anyone buying a sword or a gun to protect his own safety. Logically speaking, the most important thing in a place like this should be weapons, because only with weapons can you fight monsters.
Only then can you have the opportunity to hunt monsters and obtain more gold coins, so that you can live a better life.
But when Li Yi recalled the huge rat just now, he understood it again.
With the power and strength of these ordinary people, it is too difficult to hunt this kind of creature. Even if you have weapons in your hands, there is a high probability that you will not be the opponent of the monster. Li Yi saw it in the room where the mouse was trapped before.
There were many damaged weapons, and dried blood stains remained on each weapon, which was enough to prove that the people in this building had worked hard.
It's just that they failed.
The risk is too great.
Most people naturally choose to survive.
While Li Yi was studying these things, Xuan Yuezi stared at the mummy. In her opinion, the mummy was not as simple as it seemed. It seemed to be the manifestation of some kind of power. This power
It is somewhat similar to the huge female corpse in the middle of the building, but this place is special.
Dark erosion affected her perception, otherwise she could follow the clues and find the source of this mummy's power.
"Is that a map?"
Suddenly, Li Yi found something he was interested in, a sheepskin map with a price tag of twenty gold coins.
This is a magical magic map. When he picked up the map, the thick black fog on the map dissipated, revealing the appearance of the building. Each floor was clearly displayed, and on the twentieth
There is a special mark on the fifth floor, which looks like a dead soul monster.
This means there is a monster wandering on that floor.
It seems that Bai You is right.
There is only a mark on the 30th floor, which is a red door. As for what this means, Li Yi doesn't know.
And the strange thing is that after Li Yi took the map, his own location also appeared on it. It was a small glowing dot, and as he moved, the dot also moved.
"Good thing." Li Yi decided to buy this map. This thing is very useful in this world.
Taking out the gold coins from before, he placed twenty coins on the counter. As the mummy accepted the gold coins, the transaction was completed.
"By the way, let me ask you, what will happen if I leave the store with the items without paying?" Suddenly, Li Yi asked.
"Then your things can't be taken out of the store. Everyone must abide by the rules of the store." The man who came back again with rice said enthusiastically: "I really want to thank you this time. Without you, our family will be hungry this year."
My stomach is full."
After saying that, the man quickly left carrying the rice.
Xuan Yuezi said: "There are powerful beings who have formulated a series of rules to protect people in this world. Everyone must rely on these rules to survive. Many places seem unreasonable, but in fact the answer has already appeared."
