Chapter 208 Shadow Asylum
The screen's fading in and out of black signifies a night out...in fact, the Lost City doesn't have night or day at all.

Since this game requires multiple file loads to pass the level with a high score, although the first save requires a lot of information to be collected, the process of this game is too long... Let's speed up the progress.

Kles and the others finished their rest, and directly consumed [-] cigarettes in front of the bar to hire Edward, the killer who claimed to be a bodyguard.

Zhou Ze knew in his heart that there were not many cigarettes left in the inventory, less than ten digits left, and there were not many cans left as emergency food, only the last four cans were left enough for them to eat.

Then either earn thirty cigarettes in one day, or Edward will leave the team voluntarily after one day.

They have to earn money to buy canned food, otherwise, they can only eat the strange meat distributed by the gangs like other residents... Who knows what side effects will be caused by eating that kind of meat?Anyway, free stuff is definitely not a good thing.

Cigarettes are in short supply, so they have to find a way to make money.

"We just recruited a new combat force, so we can go to the warehouse mentioned by Cameron to take a look. Even if we are besieged by monsters, three powerful combat forces should be enough to retreat."

Er Gouzi is hard to count as combat strength, neither in terms of combat experience nor personal strength, recruiting as a teammate is mainly for financial support, don't expect him to provide much help in the battle, as long as he doesn't hold back.

Kress left the bar in a mighty manner with the three of them.

However, before going to the warehouse, he had to go to the antique shop first, and pass on the information obtained from the zero key to the old man, which was also regarded as a reward for telling him the clues about the vault and the key for free.

By the way, try to see if the used zero key can still be sold. If it can still be sold for a thousand cigarettes, his problem of lack of cigarettes will be solved.

"So, what this key leads to is a clue to escape the city?"

After reading the information on the note, the old man fell into deep thought.

He sighed: "I knew that as long as I worked hard to collect the keys, I would be able to find a way to escape from this hell. Finally, a valuable clue appeared."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again: "I have heard of Poisonous Fog Street, but I don't know what ancient houses are in the depths of that street, let alone any mirrors that connect the dreams of all living beings, and I can't go there with my body. To personally explore the authenticity of this clue... can only depend on you."

Kles handed the number zero key to the old man: "I have already used this key, do you still want to buy it here?"

"purchase."

The old man smiled: "The mysterious power attached to the key has dissipated, but it's not bad to buy it as a souvenir. It's still the original price, and [-] cigarettes can be counted as material support for you to explore this clue. Find a way to leave, if you have a chance, remember to come and tell me."

【Lost Key Zero】

[Get one thousand five hundred cigarettes]

The problem of cigarette shortage is more convenient than imagined, right? !
"Let me just say that there must be a part of the plot where you can get supplies, otherwise, what's the point of relying on the protagonist's 200-plus cigarettes at the beginning of the game? You can't even afford half a holy artifact, let alone buy weapons and medicines and hire others... "

The difficulty of the game dropped sharply, and Zhou Ze felt much happier.

With this money, I first went to the grocery store to buy four cans, and bought more than a dozen rounds of shotgun ammunition and more than 20 rounds of rifle ammunition, spending a total of more than 300 cigarettes.

There were more than 100 cigarettes left, so Kress bought some psychotropic drugs at the pharmacy and brought them to Rhodes, who was hiding in the hut in the south of the city, in exchange for the right to learn magic.

Rhodes can teach a total of fifteen kinds of magic.

I won't introduce these fifteen kinds of magic one by one, six of them overlap with the magic known by Kleis and A-Ka.

Among them, the blood flame technique is a very powerful attack-type evil technique, which can turn the blood of the enemy into fuel for burning flames, but the side effects are also very large, requiring the caster to consume a lot of blood and mental power as the medium.

Kleis already has the Ring of Blood, an evil spell that needs to be cast with blood. If there is another Blood Flame spell, it is impossible to cast the two at the same time during the battle, otherwise he may lose too much blood and lose his combat effectiveness.

Not to mention, combat isn't the first choice in this game either.

Killing monsters is really no good... If you want to kill people and get more money, a few bullets are enough, and you don't have to learn magic.

Zhou Ze weighed it over and over again, and finally decided to learn a sorcery that can evade combat.

[Shadow protection: 3-star magic. 】

[Method of casting the spell: Sprinkle a handful of ashes on the body as a medium, recite a specific spell in the mouth, consume part of the mental value and physical value to enter the shadow protection state. 】

[Formation effect: protected by the cross-boundary from the shadow dimension, it will be extremely difficult to be detected by the enemy in the shadow, the body will enter a semi-illusory state, improve evasion, accuracy and nerve reflex, and reduce the physical damage received slightly. 】

[Remarks: Spells from unknown genres will also be eroded by shadows while receiving shadow protection. The deeper the connection with the shadow dimension, the more afraid you will be to walk in the sun. (Exotic spell)]

The passive effect of this spell is very rich. It can not only sneak in the state of shadow protection, avoid combat, but also strengthen the rigid conditions of attack and defense dodge, and it can also come in handy in battle.

What's more, the effects of Shadow Sanctuary and Dress of Night can overlap!Further enhance the stealth effect in the dark!

"Is it 550 cigarettes? It's the most expensive of these magic spells."

Zhou Ze didn't hesitate and bought it on the spot.

But after buying it, he found out that it would take time for Kleis to learn magic. It doesn’t mean that he can only use magic after buying it. It takes at least an hour to practice and memorize specific spells.

Let Kress go back to the attic of the tavern, and practice the shadow protection magic first.

The protagonist wearing a night dress hides in the shadows and casts magic, which is almost equivalent to complete invisibility. There is only a shallow outline in the game screen to prove that he still exists here, and there is also a shadow protection state in the upper left corner of the screen .

Dodge, precision, marksmanship increased.

Fighting, stamina, and blood volume decrease.

Will it be attacked by shadows while being sheltered by shadows?

If you follow the terms of the game... it's nothing more than exchanging constitution for agility. Of course, the most important thing is the concealment buff and physical damage reduction of shadow shelter, which is quite a bargain.

It doesn't consume a lot of mental value, it consumes one-tenth of Kleis' mental value when it is turned on, and it will reduce 5% of the spiritual value every ten seconds after it is maintained, which is about 30.00% of the spiritual value in [-] minutes.

"It can only be maintained for a short period of time, can't it last for a long time? That's right, after all, the effect is quite strong, and Kleis's current mental strength is actually not very high. In the future, give him the breathing method, and practice more. alright."

Zhou Ze actually had his own little calculations in mind.

The sorcery learned by Kles can be taught to him in the future, and the effect of shadow protection is very suitable for his character who doesn't like to face the front and the anus of the enemy.

It is also Zhou Ze's consistent philosophy to avoid fighting as much as possible.
