Chapter 6: Mosquito Needle

He is currently searching for the rare beetles, creatures that can burrow into the ground and are troublesome to lure out.

If the Real Eyes of Terrain truly possess such abilities, then he won't have to worry about sneak attacks from below, and he can find the rare beetles more quickly.

Zhang Feng took the Real Eyes of Terrain and used his reconnaissance.

It was a small, pigeon-egg-sized, grayish-black stone.

Real Eyes of Terrain:

Quality: Steel.

Effect: By integrating the Real Eyes of Terrain into one's eyes, the integrator can see through the soil and rocks, revealing any hidden life forms within a five-meter radius underground.

It had no other attributes, definitely a steel-level item.

However, such a special attribute is quite rare, and it indeed made him interested.

Zhang Feng returned the Real Eyes of Terrain to the vendor without changing his expression and said, "Nice attribute, but the effect is just so-so."

He didn't show too much emotion; he couldn't let the vendor see that he was interested.

His college years were not in vain; living alone, he had learned some bargaining skills.

If you show interest in an item, the seller will definitely overprice it.

Seeing Zhang Feng's expression, the vendor was a bit disappointed. Thinking that Zhang Feng had similar items, he clenched the Real Eyes of Terrain and said, "Friend, this item has a unique attribute, and it can have unexpected effects when used in certain situations. Consider it, and we can negotiate the price."

"How about fifteen hundred? I think that's a fair price. Also, I'd like to know what monster you got this item from."

The vendor, hearing only fifteen hundred offered, quickly said, "Friend, fifteen hundred is too little. At least twenty-five hundred."

"The item is unique, but its use is limited; mostly, it would just sit there. In my opinion, well, this thing—" Zhang Feng pretended to hesitate and said, "Eighteen hundred, that's my max."

"Two thousand, at least two thousand," the vendor said with a pained expression, "Friend, stop bargaining. It's the lowest I can go, or I won't sell it."

The vendor made a move to put away the Real Eyes of Terrain.

"Eighteen hundred, if you don't sell, forget it," Zhang Feng said as he got up to leave.

He was amused. He had seen people like this before and had learned from his past experiences.

After purchasing many items, he had gained experience.

Feigning disinterest to entice the seller, he could play that game too.

"Don't go, nineteen hundred, nineteen hundred," the vendor hastily stood up to stop Zhang Feng.

"Eighteen hundred, not a penny more."

"Fine, you're ruthless," the vendor handed over the Real Eyes of Terrain with a face that seemed to be losing money, "Eighteen hundred, it's all yours."

"Right," Zhang Feng quickly held the Real Eyes of Terrain, counted out eighteen hundred Earth Coins, and handed them to the vendor, "Now, can you tell me where you got this item?"

"Near Sunset Boulevard, from termites."

"Thanks," Zhang Feng nodded, took the Real Eyes of Terrain, and examined it.

Integrate into the eyes, how to integrate?

Could it be by touching the eyes?

Zhang Feng thought for a moment, brought the Real Eyes of Terrain close to his eyes, and the grayish-black stone instantly turned into a black light that covered his eyes.

Then the black light seeped into his pupils bit by bit.

The world became different.

He was surprised to find that when he looked at the ground, he could see through the soil and rocks, revealing some small wriggling insects and earthworms underground.

Zhang Feng clenched his fists tightly, feeling excited.

With this item, could the rare beetles still escape?

There were still a few stalls he hadn't visited, but after buying the Real Eyes of Terrain, Zhang Feng's interest waned significantly.

However, one stall still caught his attention.

The vendor was a young teenager, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, with three pieces of green-glowing leather attire.

Compared to most people, this was considered luxurious equipment.

But compared to Zhang Feng, the teenager realized the gap.

"Big brother, take a look, maybe there's something you like," the teenager politely greeted Zhang Feng.

The weapons were all quite ordinary.

But a one-foot-long red needle caught Zhang Feng's attention.

It reminded him of the giant mosquitoes he had encountered, and he picked up the needle curiously, using his reconnaissance.

Mosquito Needle:

Quality: Bronze.

Type: Crossbow Bolt. Can also be made into a dagger through special craftsmanship.

Sharpness: Four.

Attribute: Comes with a paralysis effect, reducing the hit target's attributes by 5%. Also carries a toxin that drains 1% of health per second for five seconds.

Is today a lucky day too?

Zhang Feng felt that his gains today were really significant.

The effects of the Mosquito Needle were too domineering, and it happened to be a crossbow bolt, which he could use.

"How much for one of these? I'll take as many as you have, bring them all out."

Zhang Feng didn't play games this time; there was no need to with a young teenager.

Upon seeing Zhang Feng's interest, the teenager's face flushed with excitement and nervousness.

"But I'll only trade for equipment. And only for set pieces." The teenager took out all the Mosquito Needles, a total of one hundred and twenty.

"Too few, one hundred and twenty, what equipment do you want to trade?" Zhang Feng frowned and said, "Let's value each at ten Earth Coins; I don't think such a niche item is worth a set piece, right?"

"But my sister said these are only traded for sets, not for anything else. Well, good weapons are also acceptable."

"If you have more of these Mosquito Needles, I might consider trading with you." Zhang Feng took out a bracer and said, "Speed Bracer, increases body agility by 10%. Increases agility by three points. Of course, the full set will give you a good attribute bonus and two skills. I'm wearing the Speed Set now."

"Yes, yes, as long as you have a set, we have Mosquito Needles. Just wait a moment." The teenager suddenly stood up and ran off, not even caring about the items on the ground.

"It seems there are companions; otherwise, it would be impossible to survive among those mosquitoes."

Zhang Feng had witnessed the horror of those mosquitoes with his own eyes, swarming in groups, not even a hundred giant earthworms could stand against them.

Alone, the chances of survival in that area would be too low.

In a short while, the teenager ran back, followed by a big man.

This big man was also dressed in leather armor, but the green light varied in intensity, clearly a mismatched set, not a set.

But when Zhang Feng saw the big man's face, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The big man also stared at Zhang Feng, equally stunned.

"It's you!" The two men laughed in unison.

The big man looked at Zhang Feng and said with a grin, "I didn't expect we'd meet again. Your equipment is so good that even I'm envious. My surname is Chen, and I'm the third in my family, so they call me Chen San. I heard you're selling a set, let me see it."

"Do you have enough Mosquito Needles for a trade?" Zhang Feng took out the bracer and handed it to Chen San.

Chen San took the bracer, eagerly replaced his own with it, and then put it on his wrist.

Immediately, Chen San's attributes increased significantly, making him excitedly say, "Not bad, not bad, do you have more?"

"There are also boots, a belt, two serrated knives, and a bone knife." Zhang Feng took out the rest, and the green light made Chen San reach out greedily.

Zhang Feng pulled back his hand, stepped back, and put away the items, displeased, "Friend, it seems you're trying to rob me!"

Chen San was slightly stunned, then realized his rudeness just now and awkwardly said, "Sorry, I got too excited. I've been chopping bugs to get the Speed Set, and I'm about to be sick from it, yet I only managed to get three pieces. You happen to have two pieces I need, so I got carried away and forgot myself."

"If it's a trade, then you should bring what I need, right?" Zhang Feng pointed to the bracer on Chen San's wrist.

Chen San immediately understood and laughed, "Follow me to our Chen family's place; all the Mosquito Needles are there."

Zhang Feng frowned but decided to follow.

With his current equipment, it would not be easy for anyone to ambush him.

The Chen family's camp was actually also in the park, but it occupied a considerable area. Men and women, old and young, were all warriors in armor.

A whole population of soldiers?

Zhang Feng didn't remember Chen Yu mentioning that the Chen family had so many people.

There were at least thirty people here, the older ones ruddy and agile, the younger ones strong and robust, like athletes.

Chen Yu was rarely at school, and never attended parent-teacher conferences
