Infinite game, this punishment is fantastic!

Chapter 17 The Cursed Item

"Let's go check it out later."

After examining the Tower of Babel, Chen Yang walked into the exchange.

"Hello, sir. What kind of transaction do you wish to make?"

It wasn't quite what Chen Yang had imagined.

The exchange was not like a store in the real world. When he stepped into the exchange, he was teleported to a pure white room.

It's similar to his personal room.

The difference was that there was a young man in a suit sitting at a desk in front of him, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

His face was adorned with a warm smile.

It's like they're professional salespeople.

"I have seven attribute points, can you take them back?"

Chen Yang didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's request, the trader paused for a moment: "This player, attribute points are extremely valuable. Are you sure you want to sell them?"

The other party implied that it was available for sale, but that it was very valuable.

What might be precious to others is poison to Chen Yang.

"For sale, all seven are for you."

Upon hearing this, the trader nodded.

[Infinite City will purchase player Chen Yang's 7 attribute points at a price of 1000/1 point. Do you wish to sell? Yes/No.]

Chen Yang clicked "yes," and in an instant, his available attribute points became 0.

Furthermore, the points balance increased from 900 to 7900.

After selling the attribute points that were no longer useful to him, Chen Yang left the exchange.

When Chen Yang arrived at the entrance of the Tower of Babel, he was about to step inside when a notification stopped him.

Players must complete 5 regular dungeons and 1 battleground dungeon to enter the Tower of Babel.

Clearly, Chen Yang was rejected.

"Tsk, this beginner's guide didn't even mention this, bad review."

After making a complaint, Chen Yang didn't insist on going in.

After he left, he arrived at the trading square.

The trading square is where players can trade items privately.

However, these are simply player actions, so they do not receive official protection from Infinite Games.

Being scammed or cheated is something you have to bear alone.

However, since there is no official in-game store, all items can only be obtained from dungeons.

So even with the risks, players still choose to trade here.

It was a helpless situation.

A large group of players had gathered in the trading square.

Someone spread a cloth on the ground and set up a stall.

Some people set up a simple table and sat at the back to wait for guests.

I must say, it really feels like a big market.

Player transactions here are divided by region.

There are areas for items, equipment, and martial arts techniques.

Each region is further subdivided.

Chen Yang first went to the goods area and went straight to the medicine section.

There are a dozen or so players setting up stalls here.

Chen Yang casually approached a player: "Hey bro, do you sell any poison? The stronger the better."

Upon hearing Chen Yang's request, the player at the stall's eyes lit up.

"Yes, brother, yes. Wait a minute."

As he spoke, he picked up the backpack next to him, unzipped it, and took out a bottle.

"What's this?" Chen Yang asked curiously, looking at the glass bottle the other person handed him.

When he turned around and saw the label, a black line immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Dichlorvos"

There were three large characters written on it.

"Dude, isn't DDT poisoning enough?"

Do you want potassium cyanide? That stuff is too hard to get in dungeons, unless you encounter a hospital dungeon, but that depends on luck.

However, I can accept reservations.

How about it? Do you need it?

This player is quite shrewd in business.

"Uh, no need. How many points does this bottle of DDT cost?"

He was going to buy a bottle of dichlorvos to test the waters.

"500 points for a sincere offer."

Chen Yang: "????"

"What? 500? That's so expensive?" He was a little shocked by the price.

"Of course, this stuff is perfect for adding medicine. Although it has a strong smell, it's colorless."

This guy's explanation is a bit of a stretch.

Chen Yang shook his head and returned the bottle of dichlorvos to his older brother.

It's too expensive. Given the effects of dichlorvos, it's unlikely to be much more effective than rat poison.

With 500 points, I'd rather go back to my private room and do five treatments.

Based on the game's mechanics that each treatment worsens your injuries, it might not take many treatments for the system to kill you.

"No way, bro, I'll give you a discount. Take it for 450 points."

Chen Yang ignored the vendor's attempts to persuade him to stay and ran away.

He then asked the other vendors.

Most of them sell things like rat poison, cockroach poison, dichlorvos, herbicides, and meat curing powder.

"No, how is this meat-curing powder poison?"

Chen Yang looked at the ordinary-looking package in the other person's hand and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Young man, you may not know this, but the main component of meat-curing powder is nitrite, which is toxic."

Chen Yang: "..."

In the end, speechless Chen Yang was still deterred by the price of 200 points.

After leaving the pharmacy section, Chen Yang couldn't help but complain, "Looks like this method of buying medicine isn't very effective."

He scratched his head, realizing he had unknowingly left the item area and arrived at the equipment area.

"Hey buddy, stop for a second."

Suddenly, a voice called out to Chen Yang.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person wearing black gloves approaching Chen Yang.

Seeing Chen Yang stop, his face lit up with joy: "Young man, do you need any extraordinary equipment?"

He held up the black glove in his hand: "A genuine extraordinary item. Only 10000 points. How about it? Interested?"

Upon hearing the words "extraordinary props," Chen Yang was indeed somewhat interested.

[Equipment: Cursed Gloves]

[Effect: Attacks inflict a corrosive effect.]

[Cost: 1% of the user's health will be deducted every second.]

To be honest, this thing is not bad, it's just a bit too expensive, but that's for the average player.

For Chen Yang, deducting 1% of his health points per second is equivalent to gaining 1% health points per second.

Is this like giving yourself an invincible buff?

Unless it's a one-hit kill, you can recover to full health in a minute or two.

Buy it! I have to buy it! But there are some tricks to buying things.

"No, bro, don't lie to me. This thing is a supernatural item, but if a new player like me uses it, I'll probably get killed by this glove before it even works."

Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Yang's complaints, the man selling gloves panicked a bit.

"Brother, you can't say that."

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yang held up two fingers: "I can only give you 2000 points, not a single point more."

These gloves look nice; they'd look good displayed in my room if I bought them.

If you're not willing to sell, you'll probably have a hard time finding players on this floor who want to buy it.

Sure enough, Chen Yang's words left this guy a bit conflicted.

Even the other players setting up stalls nearby turned their attention to this.
