Chapter 16 The PTW Shop (2/2)
”Huh?”
[I've told all of you before that the tutorials are no more and the next thing will be the real deal, right?]
[I meant exactly what I said.]
[From today onward, your life will be more intense!]
[Instead of living day by day with your boring slow life, you will voluntarily ask me for more missions!]
”Horseshit. Why should I?”
Tong was confused. The past missions were comparable to endless nightmare. Why should he volunteer to take on those ridiculous quests?
[As of today, a new feature will be added to y'all … it's the ... PAY TO WIN SHOP!!]
[Welp, it's PTW Shop for short … Heheheh!]
”...”
A menu popped up in front of Tong without him doing anything. There was a long list of items, materials, medicines, weapons and armors, with a price tagged on each of the goods.
[Before any single of you got over-excited and buy anything, you should check the price tag carefully.]
[We don't accept gold or cash here. We only accept LIFE!]
[In other words, the shop only accepts your lifespan.]
A bad feeling crept through Tong's mind. The shop would sell items and took back lifespans as a price. But how would someone get the lifespans to trade with this shop? Completed the mission!
”Oh god, no …”
[We have pretty much all items you can find in the 21st century or all the way back to Stone Age.]
[But … If we let you buy whatever you want then it will be unfair to the local natives in this world.]
[So we're going to nerf you a bit.]
[This shop will only sell you one item per one shopping ticket you have, starting from today.]
[That means if you want to buy more items, you will need to complete more missions!]
Tong skimmed through the item listing. Everything was too tempting. It sold everything even a freaking battleship, with a whooping price of 100,000,000 years of lifespan.
The weapon and armor section had various kinds of items made by different materials, such as steel sword, guns and ammunition, Kevlar Vest, carbon fiber full plate armor and etc.
Seeing so many thing that could give him an edge in this era, it would be a lie if Tong said he wouldn't be tempted. However, there was a dilemma that all otherworlders, including Tong, needed to face.
If someone wanted to get ahead of the other reincarnators, he could buy a single item and be invincible in this era. But he would need to risk his life completing at least one mission or more to collect enough lifespan and obtaining the right to use the shop.
If a player chose not to struggle and not buying anything so he could live in peace. In the future he would fall behind and might risk getting himself killed by otherworlders or the future forced missions screwed him up.
A chill ran down Tong's spine. This was the multi-layer-trap system! This vicious honey-trap was definitely designed to kill everyone using the greed and fear of the otherworlders.
Tong held his head with both of his hands in disbelieved. The ”Mission Rush” was indeed as terrifying as Friday and Medusa had told him. Even after the rules was changed, the degree of difficulty wasn't lowered a slightest bit, but even more difficult.
[Oh, by the way, you can buy the skills that the dead players had created too.]
[But it's going to be a limited merchandise.]
[So … first come first serve! Only the decisive pay-to-win players can grab it.]
In panic, Tong switched the shop tab from weapon and armor into skill tab, only to see several skills listed as 'SOLD OUT'. He checked this page too late.
Tong hurriedly scrolled down the listing menu without stopping, then he finally saw a few skills that hadn't been sold yet.
He skimmed through the remaining list and stopped his eyes on one of the skill.
