Chapter 5 System Store
Gao Fei checked Basaka's health and found that his health value had returned to zero and he was incapacitated.
In this virtual fantasy world, a character's health value returning to zero is not considered death, but only a state of near-death coma. Only when the overflow damage ≥ the upper limit of health value - for Basaka, it is -16 points - will the near-death stage be skipped and he will die directly.
The half-orc jailer did not beat Basaka to death because he knew that this prisoner was very important to his master and was more valuable alive than dead.
If a person in a near-death state is not treated and delayed for a period of time, he may really die due to the worsening of his injuries.
Even if Basaka is physically strong and can eventually pass the death exemption and wake up, the only two options waiting for him are to confess obediently or go to the gallows, which means that Gao Fei's attempt to save Basaka has failed.
What can I do?
Gao Fei felt desperate.
At this time, the star disk sent a system prompt again.
Novice tutorial: Spend 1 star disk energy and read the file again.
Thank God, no matter how real it is, it is just a game after all, and at least the function of loading the game is retained.
Well... losers eat dust!
Gao Fei was forced to load the game and restart, and the game time went back to before Basaka started the rage and tried to destroy the iron window.
This time, he didn't rush to escape the prison, but opened the "Monster Encyclopedia" that came with the star disk to check the information.
According to the system prompt, Gao Fei knew that the two functions of "loading" and "collecting information" of the star disk did not conflict, that is, the information collected before loading the game still exists after loading the game.
The first item in the database built into the star disk is the "Monster Encyclopedia", which currently only contains two entries.
One is Basaka Olaf, the protagonist of the game module, and the other entry is the half-orc jailer who appeared before loading the game.

The strength of the monsters in the game is described by the Challenge Rating (CR).
The Challenge Rating is 1, which means that at least four fully armed 1st-level extraordinary professionals are needed to defeat it without making great sacrifices.
The challenge level of the Orc jailer is 1/2, which means that he can fight back and forth with two level 1 characters.
Basaka is a level 1 berserker. Even if he is healthy and well-equipped, he may not win the Orc jailer alone. Now he is unarmed, exhausted, weak, and his life is halved. It is too difficult to fight the Orc jailer with so many negative states.
What's more, the intelligence attribute of the Orc jailer is actually a little higher than that of Basaka. He doesn't give him a chance to fight fairly. He hides outside the prison door and blows poison arrows. He waits for him to fall to the ground after the poison takes effect before coming in to beat him up. It's so disgusting!
It seems that Gao Fei can't solve the dilemma with his own mind, and the star disk gives a prompt at the right time.
Novice tutorial: trading mode
The star disk comes with a system store. Open the "store" interface, spend tokens to buy virtual items available in the game, or sell loot in exchange for tokens. Tokens can be spent in Tiangong, or exchanged for real currency at a 1:1 ratio.
…
The gold, silver and copper coins obtained in the game can be exchanged for real yuan, jiao and fen, which can be regarded as the allowance of the celestial beings.
All celestial beings start with 100 virtual gold coins (G). If they really can't pass the level, they can use this money to buy props in the system store to solve the problem.
Gao Fei is sure that real game masters disdain to use such a method that is almost like krypton gold cheating to solve the problem. However, he knows that he is not a master, so he opens the store page according to the system prompt.
The number of props provided by the system store is very small. Not to mention magic items, even swords and armor are not available for sale. They are mainly daily groceries and camping supplies such as rations, candles, torches, seasonings, ropes, backpacks, tents, etc.
In addition, the system store also provides five kinds of "alchemical products", which are simply chemicals in the fantasy world, including smoke bombs, thunder stones, fiery glue, strong acid and holy water, which are much more expensive than other daily groceries.
Gao Fei read the list of goods from beginning to end, and at the same time used his brain to conceive a plan to escape from prison.
He first spent 20 gold coins to buy two small bottles of strong acid, and then spent three gold coins to buy a bundle of 100-meter-long cables - enough to hang from the window of the tower where Basaka was imprisoned to the sea below.
Items purchased in the system store can be directly transmitted to the cell through the star disk.
Basaka saw the reagent bottles and cables that appeared out of thin air, and his eyes widened in surprise at first, and then he prayed devoutly, thinking that the gods he worshipped had appeared.
Strong acid is a very dangerous alchemical reagent. Gao Fei was not sure whether Basaka could use it safely, so he simply switched to the first-person perspective and directly possessed the soul.
He first buckled the cable and a bottle of acid with a wooden barrel and hid them. He uncorked another bottle of acid and carefully poured it on the iron grille.
The iron grille made a slight hissing sound and emitted pungent smoke when it came into contact with the highly corrosive acid. The part in contact with the acid gradually became loose at a speed visible to the human eye.
Seeing this scene, Gao Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
One bottle of acid was enough to corrode the iron grille, and it would be easier to remove the window next.
At this moment, the window suddenly made a sharp sound, and the alarm made Gao Fei's heart rise to his throat again.
It seems that even if violence is not used, using acid to corrode the iron window will still trigger the magic alarm.
This is not good news!
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the figure of the half-orc jailer was approaching.
Time was too tight. Gao Fei could not break out of the window before the half-orc jailer arrived, so he could only try to delay it.
He quickly jumped onto the barrel, started to go berserk, and held a piece of iron fence with both hands, pretending to shake it with force. His actual strength was very light, and his real purpose was to use his body to block the corroded and smoking iron fence, so as not to be seen by the half-orc jailer.
The footsteps stopped behind him, and Gao Fei couldn't help but glance back, and sure enough, he saw the half-orc jailer with a gloomy face, looking at him through the prison door.
