92: New mini-game, Five Poison Nest
Of the ten bottles of infected serum, four have already been traded.
There were many comments below the trade post.
"Bro, 50 shelter fragments sent. You're such a scammer!"
"Hey, can you make it cheaper? I really need it!"
"I can't do it, bro, I can't do it. Give it to me quickly, I feel like I'm turning into an Infected! Roar!"
"Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?"
"So expensive!"
"You're so heartless!"
"50 shelter fragments? Why don't you just fly to the sky!"
"Hello, I am the secretary to the leader of Changping Base. We would like to purchase all of them. We can offer you 20 shelter fragments per bottle."
"Warning! Warning! Gas Wall! Everyone, this is a black market merchant, run!"
Tang Ping scrolled through a bit, finding nothing useful. If they didn't want to buy, they didn't have to; why leave disgusting comments? He wasn't selling fakes, his prices were clearly marked. It was really annoying. These people should use their free time to explore outside more, maybe they'd find a doomsday treasure chest.
Just as he was about to exit, a comment caught his eye.
"A Shelter Trait Plunder Card, which can plunder the traits of other unowned Shelters and apply them to your own Shelter. Trading for five bottles of infected serum."
"Shelter Trait Plunder Card?" Tang Ping's heart instantly stirred. He remembered he still had the Poison Empress's Shelter, which contained an S-rank Shelter Trait - Five Poisons Nest!
He immediately contacted the other party: "Two bottles of infected serum. The value of your item mainly depends on the traits of another Shelter. If there are no other good shelter items, your item is only slightly better than a shelter trait scroll, which grants a random trait."
Soon, there was a reply.
Mu Qingyang: "Three bottles, brother. Consider it me owing you a favor. I really need this item."
Tang Ping: "No, no, we're not familiar. Let's forget about favors. We'll settle the transaction with money and goods. I'm also in urgent need of shelter fragments, and I'm trading with you because your item is special, and I plan to keep it for future use."
"Brother, I really need it urgently. Please spare one more bottle. Do me a favor, I'll definitely repay you if I get one later!"
"If you don't want to trade, then forget it."
Mu Qingyang: "No, no, sigh, alright then, brother. Thank you."
[Ding! Mu Qingyang has sent you a trade request!]
Tang Ping immediately accepted.
Afterward, he no longer contacted this person. He wasn't familiar with the other party, yet they immediately played the emotional card, making him feel like a villain for not agreeing to their preferred trade.
Was he really that familiar with this person? They immediately started with "consider it me owing you a favor" and "I'll repay you later." Such people were likely hypocritical schemers.
As for whether they were truly evil or falsely evil, what did it matter to him?
Seeing that the other party still wanted to add him as a friend, Tang Ping did not agree.
Taking out the Shelter Trait Plunder Card and the Poison Empress's shelter item, Tang Ping began to plunder.
"I wonder if the plundered Talent will also form a mini-game," Tang Ping thought with some anticipation.
The S-rank Shelter Trait, Five Poisons Nest, was a Shelter Trait that could cultivate exotic poisons and Gu worm (Gu worms). If it transformed into a mini-game on his phone, he wondered what it would be like.
"Use Shelter Trait Plunder Scroll!"
[Are you sure you want to use the Shelter Trait Plunder Scroll on the current shelter item to plunder its Shelter Trait?]
"Yes!"
[Congratulations, player, for a successful plunder! Your Shelter has successfully acquired the S-rank Shelter Trait, Five Poisons Nest!]
[Detecting player's SSS-rank Shelter Trait - Mini-Game, S-rank Trait - Five Poisons Nest, automatically converting to game mode!]
Tang Ping opened his phone, and in the mini-games, a game called Five Poisons Nest had appeared.
Clicking on the game, the interface showed a background resembling a witch's room, with a medicinal cauldron in the center.
After some research, Tang Ping learned that this was a medicinal cauldron for cultivating exotic poisons. All kinds of real-world poisons could be stored in the warehouse on the left.
The warehouse was an empty medicine rack. Every time a poison was stored, a medicine bottle would appear. Clicking on the bottle would automatically display the poison's effects.
When wanting to concoct an exotic poison, one only needed to click on the medicine bottle, then drag the progress bar to select the dosage, mix several toxins, and finally click the medicinal cauldron to concoct it, and it would be complete.
Of course, failure was more likely than success; most of the time, it would turn into a pile of furnace ash.
Besides this exotic poison concoction feature, there was also a conversion button in the upper left corner.
Clicking it would lead to the place for cultivating Gu worms.
This was a dimly lit room. The walls around the room had many small compartments, separated by a layer of glass, allowing one to see inside.
These small compartments were where Gu worms were cultivated.
One could catch various poisonous or non-poisonous insects, then introduce various exotic poisons, and put these insects inside. If successful, various Gu worms would be obtained. After obtaining a Gu worm, one only needed to drip blood to complete the recognition process.
If it failed, most likely the insects would be poisoned to death, or kill each other, with none surviving.
However, these poisonous chambers for cultivating Gu worms were special; they could greatly enhance the insects' poison resistance and increase the probability of mutation through devouring and fusion.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of being called the S-rank Five Poisons Nest.
The original Five Poisons Nest was a special space, meaning the Shelter owner had to personally enter it to operate.
This would undoubtedly expose the Shelter owner to a high probability of contracting various exotic poisons.
However, because they were the Shelter owner, even if poisoned, they wouldn't die, but the pain would not be lessened at all.
In such a situation, anyone who entered would be tormented to madness and distortion by all sorts of poisons.
But now that it had become a mini-game, Tang Ping only needed to operate it through the game!
Of course, Tang Ping could also click "personal experience."
Then he would enter the game and personally cultivate exotic poisons and Gu worms in the two rooms.
Besides the benefit of becoming a mini-game, there was another effect that Tang Ping found very satisfying!
That was, every time an exotic poison or Gu worm was concocted, the mini-game would automatically record the operation process, completely eliminating the need for manual record-keeping like with the previous Five Poisons Nest!
In the previous Five Poisons Nest, the birth of many exotic poisons and Gu worms was very cumbersome. It was highly possible to concoct it once and never be able to concoct it a second time.
But after becoming a mini-game, the game automatically generated recipes. The next time he wanted that exotic poison or Gu worm, he only needed to gather the materials and cultivate it with one click!
Tang Ping didn't need to painstakingly observe and meticulously record every step and every process.
It could be said that if the previous Five Poisons Nest was considered an S-rank trait, now that it had become a mini-game, it was definitely a level higher than before!
It was important to know that some exotic poisons and Gu worms were very difficult to replicate.
But with his mini-game, one success meant continuous success!
"I wonder where I can get some poisons and insects," Tang Ping muttered, staring at the medicinal cauldron bubbling with green liquid.
