Chapter 100

After Feng Jue returned to the login space, he first left the party to avoid affecting Xiao Tan and the others from queuing up for the script when he wasn't around. He had already handed over the deputy leader's authority to Si Yu, entrusting her with the badge matters. Although there had been an unexpected disconnection, Si Yu's consistent performance showed that she was a very reliable person. She wouldn't mess up anything she took on.

Feng Jue didn't immediately queue up for the script. After spending 100,000 points, he still had 379,000 game coins, enough to arm himself.

He first went to the mall in Zone 10 and sold the [Children's Bat] to the system store. The price was really fair, only 1,000 game coins, which was about 50 cents, fitting the value of this equipment with no attack power and no useful attributes.

Bullets, supplements, and lighting equipment were on Feng Jue's list of supplies to buy, but he didn't rush to purchase them. Instead, he first browsed the clothing items. These were the expensive items that could add attributes and were something he would eventually need to buy. He wanted to see what he could get with his 380,000 points.

Feng Jue wasn't very concerned about his in-game appearance, but he wasn't completely indifferent. Wearing the default newbie outfit was fine, as everyone had to wear it, and it was free. But since he was now spending money, he didn't want to just mix and match random items to show off, as he didn't have the confidence to pull off a cool look.

With a vast selection of clothing, it would take him until dawn to look through each piece, so Feng Jue made some choices. At first, he had a bit of a middle school syndrome and felt a strong urge to buy a set of American comic character costumes to play around with. However, he quickly realized that specific character costumes were incredibly expensive. For example, a "Doctor Doom" costume cost 900,000 game coins, divided into three parts: mask and armor, outerwear, and hooded cloak, each adding attributes. But the set couldn't be bought separately; it had to be purchased all at once for 900,000.

Feng Jue's game coins seemed a bit insufficient.

Compared to players like Xiao Tan and Bei Ling, who could spend 1,000,000 game coins (about 500 RMB) to buy five grid spaces in their inventory, Feng Jue's 380,000 game coins were equivalent to about 190 RMB. His goal was to earn enough for a game pod, which was a long and arduous journey. The nl2055 standard single-player game pod he was using cost five digits, and two game pods could buy a car, not including the license plate...

"Hmm... This set isn't that great either. The hood is green, and the armor and cloak would be inconvenient to move in," Feng Jue consoled himself.

He then searched for another character he was interested in—Deadpool. The red and black, tight-fitting outfit without a cloak was very convenient for movement. The belt and straps could help carry weapons, saving inventory space. The set had two parts: a headpiece and a full-body suit, adding two attributes.

However, the Deadpool costume also cost 700,000...

Feng Jue consoled himself again: "Hmm... Too cheap and sleazy, not fitting my tall and imposing image..."

If someone heard him, they would probably ask two questions: "Why did you search for it then?" and "What's your image like?"

He then looked through many other characters and found that most pre-set character costumes cost over 500,000. The most outrageous was the Batman set, which cost 2,000,000 game coins, equivalent to 1,000 RMB at the current exchange rate. This set was indeed superior, divided into five parts: headpiece, top, bottom, belt, and cape (the clothing slots are divided into head, feet, top, bottom, and accessories, and pre-set character costumes, regardless of the number of parts, would occupy all five slots). It added five attributes and could hide many tools, greatly saving inventory space.

After seeing so many, Feng Jue gave up on sets. He decided to buy individual pieces and mix and match them. He would start with a top and bottom, adding two attributes, and if he had money left, he would consider accessories.

Thinking this, Feng Jue had a sudden idea. He searched by color and style and found a combination that satisfied him, even smiling with satisfaction.

If being Batman were a profession, the entry barrier would include personal talent and a $700 million fortune. But becoming his opponent was much cheaper. For example, his most troublesome opponent had a disdainful and mocking attitude towards money and life.

Feng Jue spent 120,000 game coins on a top: a purple overcoat with a deep blue plaid shirt, a dark green vest, and a tie. He then spent 80,000 game coins on a pair of pants slightly darker than the purple overcoat as the bottom. Finally, he spent 40,000 game coins on a pair of dark leather gloves.

In total, he spent 240,000 game coins on his clown outfit. Of course, he didn't dye his hair green, cover his face with white powder, or cut his cheeks and apply lipstick... He wasn't that obsessed.

After buying the clothing, he had to choose random attributes. The top generated three: [Slightly increase stamina recovery speed], [Slightly reduce stamina consumption when carrying heavy objects], [Slightly increase survival value recovery speed]. Feng Jue almost immediately chose the survival value recovery speed, as it would benefit his Spirit Gathering Technique. Theoretically, the Spirit Gathering Technique would still be effective in the late game, so any attribute that could enhance it was good.

The bottom generated some bizarre attributes: [Significantly increase stamina recovery speed when inverted], [Slightly increase jump height], [Dramatically increase spirit value recovery speed, but survival value recovery speed decreases proportionally]. The last one was definitely out of the question. The first one seemed more and more ridiculous, as it would also decrease stamina while inverted, making it no different from "slightly increase." It felt like a joke. So Feng Jue chose the second one, which seemed more normal.

The gloves, being accessories, generated three random attributes: [Slightly reduce stamina consumption when carrying heavy objects], [Slightly reduce the effects of bleeding], and [Slightly increase the force of fist attacks]. Each had its own bias: the first was balanced, the second defensive, and the third offensive.

After some consideration, Feng Jue chose the second one. He already had three weapons: a pipe wrench, a knife, and a gun. There was no need to use his fists for a slight boost when he had weapons. Moreover, Si Yu had suffered greatly from bleeding in the script at Ye Jie's high school. The guild didn't have a medic, and he couldn't carry bandages, antidotes, or burn ointments in his inventory. So choosing an attribute to mitigate bleeding was a good precaution. Besides, gloves were cheap, and he could buy another pair later if he had the money.

Thinking of this, Feng Jue slapped his forehead: "Hey! I forgot to ask Xiao Tan to return the Winchester. After a few days, he probably forgot too." But he shrugged, thinking, "But the weapon is quite practical, and it would be more helpful for him to have it."

After selecting all the attributes, Feng Jue summarized: the 240,000 game coins spent increased his survival value recovery speed, jump height, and slowed the rate of survival value loss when bleeding. Additionally, it established his style.

He still had two empty slots in his clothing bar: head and feet. However, he only had 140,000 game coins left, and buying one would likely prevent him from buying the other. He also planned to buy supplies, so he ended his clothing browsing.

The clothing was already equipped, but the appearance change could only be done in the login space, so players wouldn't change their appearance in public areas.

Feng Jue then bought five bottles of survival value supplements. He didn't buy the large bottles but chose the medium ones. The pricing was not proportional: a small bottle that restored 30% cost 2,000 game coins, a medium bottle that restored 50% cost 6,000, and a large bottle that restored 100% cost 12,000. This pricing was based on the note in the game: [Maximum stack of 5, consecutive use will gradually weaken the effect]. While the small bottles seemed more cost-effective, drinking three small bottles might only restore a bit more than one medium bottle and take up more inventory space.

In short, buying large bottles saved space and was safer and more convenient, but it required more money...

Finally, Feng Jue bought a flashlight and two clips of bullets for his gun, each containing seven rounds. Since his gun still had one round left, each clip would take up one inventory slot. Fortunately, his new clothing had several pockets, so he could store the clips in his coat.

After shopping, Feng Jue left the mall and returned to the login space. When the elevator door closed, he received a system prompt: [Your clothing bar has been activated].
