Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills Novel - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: Scroll, Ring
After returning to the inn, Zhou Chen and the tall girl ate some bread and barbecue before returning to their rooms to sleep.
Before he went to sleep, Zhou Chen left the windows open to quickly escape if there was an accident, such as an earthquake.
As for the risk of robbery, he did not care because his spirit attribute was very high which gave him a strong perception. He would immediately wake up if ordinary people appeared within a few meters from him.
However, the night passed peacefully. It seemed like the words of the lady boss of the inn were true. No people came to make trouble in the inn.
Zhou Chen woke up early in the morning. He put on the snow wolf skin armor, washed up, ate some bread and jam for breakfast, and went to visit the remaining shops with the tall girl.
The first thing they went to was an old mage’s store, mainly to see if there were any scrolls or items they could use.
“Sir, do you have attribute scrolls for sale? Those that can strengthen physique.”
As soon as he entered the store, Zhou Chen asked the shopkeeper, an old man with a long white beard.
“Attribute scroll? Sorry, esteemed customer, I’ve never heard of such a scroll.”
The old man frowned.
“But from your description, I suggest you go to my sister’s Dream Lodge apothecary. You should find what you want there.”
“We’ve already been there.”
Zhou Chen was surprised. He did not expect that the owner of this shop was the younger brother of the old witch.
“Then… Do you have any skill scrolls here? The kind that can give skills.”
“???”
Confusion immediately appeared on the old man’s face as he looked at Zhou Chen with a concerned gaze.
“Cough cough… let us take a look at the scrolls suitable for combat.”
Zhou Chen planned to take a look at the magic scrolls since there were no attribute scrolls or skill scrolls.
“If you want combat scrolls, you have come to the right place.”
The old man’s puzzled expression turned to a smile.
“I have all kinds of offensive magic scrolls here. Some are used for large-scale attacks, such as the Fire Rain Scroll, the Tempest Scroll, the Glacier Scroll, the Poison Mist Scroll, the Lightning Storm Scroll, the Stonefall Scroll… There are also scrolls to deal with individual targets, such as the Fireball Scroll, the Freeze Scroll, the Lightning Scroll… The large area of effect scrolls only cost twenty gold coins each, and the single-target scrolls only cost five gold coins each. What do you want to buy?”
Looking at the white-bearded old man’s smile and the system labels that appeared on the scrolls, Zhou Chen knew that he was selling the real thing, but he felt that his wallet would not be able to support the expenditure.
“I want to understand more before making a decision.”
He replied.
“Alright, then I’ll recommend some auxiliary scrolls that have been selling well recently. For example, this Flight Scroll. It only costs ten gold coins and can allow you to fly for about 10 minutes. This Earth Burrow Scroll, the same price, can allow you to freely pass through the rocks and soil for about 3 minutes. This Diving Scroll has a longer effect time.”
The two of them listened to the introductions and felt that the old man had many good things here, but the price was too expensive, making them shrink back.
‘No wonder we didn’t see any customers here and in his sister’s store.’
Zhou Chen thought to himself.
“I want an Earth Burrow scroll.”
He quickly made a decision and took out ten gold coins to buy an Earth Burrow scroll. He felt that this ability to burrow underground was quite good and he might have a use for it in the future.
In fact, he felt that the Flight scroll was also very attractive, but his Windrun gave him a similar effect. It would be a waste to buy the scroll.
“Alright, young man. Since you’re a new customer, I’ll give you a fireball scroll as a gift.”
The white-bearded old man accepted the ten gold coins and handed the Earth Burrow scroll to him. Then, he turned around to get the scroll he wanted to give.
“Can I change the fireball scroll to Freeze or Lightning?”
Zhou Chen immediately asked because he already had the ability to breathe fire after obtaining the Fire Source passive skill. The fireball skill scroll was a little useless to him.
“No problem, I’ll give you a Lightning Scroll.”
The white-bearded old man quickly handed a sheepskin scroll marked as a lightning scroll by the system to Zhou Chen.
“Madam, what scrolls do you need?”
After Zhou Chen bought the item, the white-bearded old man stared at the tall girl who had not spoken.
“I don’t have any money for now.”
The tall girl felt a little embarrassed. Compared to the rich Zhou Chen, she was really short of money.
“Oh, young lady, I believe you will soon earn enough.”
The white-bearded old man smiled at the tall girl.
“Take this fireball scroll as a gift for your first visit.”
The old man handed the fireball scroll to the tall girl.
“Thank you.”
The girl was instantly flattered. This was the first time she had obtained an item so easily.
“You sell accessories as well?”
Suddenly, Zhou Chen realized that there were several necklaces and rings on the shelf deep in the store. These things were marked by the system and were basically supernatural items.
“Sorry, the things inside are all custom-ordered by others. If you want, you can pay the deposit to make one.”
“How long does it take to make a ring?”
Zhou Chen asked.
“That will depend on your specific requirements. It can take anywhere from a day to a month.”
The old man replied.
“Then… If I want a ring that can increase the speed of spiritual power recovery, how much time and gold will it take?”
Zhou Chen looked at a ring that had the effect of faster stamina recovery in the store and probed.
“What kind of material do you want the ring to be made of?”
“Silver will do.”
“Hmm… If you want to double the recovery speed, it will only take three days. If you want it to be triple, it will take half a month. The effective period of these enhancements is about a year. The price is 25 gold coins and 55 gold coins, respectively.”
‘The effect is not permanent? But a year is good enough.’
“Okay, I want to order a silver ring that doubles the recovery speed of spiritual power. I’ll come for it in three days.”
Zhou Chen quickly took out 25 gold coins.
‘Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time to stay in this world. Otherwise, I could order the enhancement that triples the recovery speed.’
He felt a little regretful.
“Oh ~ Honorable customer, I like decisive young people like you.”
The white-bearded old man was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Chen take out a handful of gold coins and place the order..
