The Trembling World Chapter 458

Chapter 458 - The Hill

Immediately after hearing Ana's wise words, they checked the price tags of the desired items and the instruction manuals. There was no limit to how many times they could exchange, as long as they had the tokens to do so.
So if they wanted to get a hand grenade, it would require 5 foreign tokens. After the tokens were been inserted into the coin chest, then it would dispense the hand grenade.
The merchandise instruction manual clearly stated that these items could only be used within the confines of Moonlight Gulf Theme Park. The moment they left the instance, then all the merchandise would automatically disappear.
"Damn! So it is only effective within the instance. What use is that?" Several players expressed their disbelief. They started mouthing off curses at the unfortunate turn of events.
"Even if it is in the instance, you guys can't afford it!" Ana continued to bash the other players.
Liu Gan had noticed the price tags a lot earlier. Aside from the hand grenades, explosive packs, and remote explosives that erre on promotion, all the other merchandise was extremely expensive. The hand grenades, explosive packs, and remote explosives were priced at 5, 8, and 10 foreign tokens, respectively.
A sniper rifle would cost 1800 foreign tokens, and that is without ammunition. Each bullet would cost 5 tokens!. The rocket launcher would cost 5000 tokens, and each rocket would cost up to 200 tokens!
Even the tank, airplane, spacecraft, and battleship cost so much that the amount of money would discourage anyone.
There was no need to exchange hand grenades, since Liu Gan had a few stocked in his Dimensional Storage Space. Aside from that, the destructive power from explosive packs and remote explosives were quite average, so they wouldn't be enough to defeat the King Crocodile.
Using the King Crocodile as a reference was pointless, since the explosives wouldn't even harm Liu Gan. Needless to say, it would be useless against King Crocodile. If Liu Gan had to pin a rank on the King Crocodile, it would be a General rank. Its black fog was armor, it had a dense layer that flowed out. In short, if it couldn't harm Liu Gan, then it definitely wouldn't be able to harm the King Crocodile.
As for the other weapons… Liu Gan thought of the 30 tokens that he had spent over half a month to save up… The weapons that had three digit costs were still possible for consideration. Anything that cost more than three digits was out of the question.
The problem was that even the weapons that had three digit price tags, there was nothing with two digit price tags worth exchanging.
To obtain the fourth piece of puzzle, Liu Gan handed over all his tokens to Yi Yi. So him and his crew were penniless. They came to the shop, but walked out empty-handed.
***
Thoroughly disappointed in not being able to buy anything, Liu Gan has nowhere else to go. The last place he hadn't checked out was the symbol for the Spatial Transfer Gate.
This Spatial Transfer Gate must be special. Could there be a heavenly purpose for the gate to be located in this instance? If not, then this would've been a complete waste of time! [The Trembling World] was a cruel place, but according to Liu Gan's prior experience, all his hard work would reap some reward. This time shouldn't be an exception!
With the PDA's map function, locating the Spatial Transfer Gate became easier.
The symbol for that was located in the King Crocodile's territory. Liu Gan led his group to navigate quietly toward the symbol. After spending more than half the day to get close, they entered the forest. According to the PDA, they were very close to the symbol. As they looked in the direction the gate should be, the ground rumbled with tremors. It was as Liu Gan had suspected...
The supposed location of the gate was where the King Crocodile was currently sleeping. From afar, they saw that it was several dozen meters high; it was like a small hill.
Since the King Crocodile was sleeping, it didn't make any big movements. The symbol on the map didn't move either. That must mean the Spatial Transfer Gate was located somewhere on King Crocodile's body. As long as they could kill the King Crocodile, then they could monopolize the treasure.
Right now, Liu Gan was level 12. The majority of the players in the group were level 10, several of them were level 11. Even with his group, it felt like a death sentence if he ordered them to challenge a General rank creature.
All this wasted time in the instance, if he couldn't complete this final task, it would be disappointing. Liu Gan was unwilling to simply give up. He must take on the risk to assassinate the King Crocodile. If only he had some information on the creature's weakness?
Even now, Liu Gan didn't understand the depths of King Crocodile's true strength. The guess for now is that it is a General rank creature. To put it into perspective, the creature would be above a level 15 player. This is all speculation, since a creature's capability can't be measured with just level. Only through an actual fight could Liu Gan judge the enemy's strength.
"Lord Liu, please reconsider!" Stratos finally opened his mouth to dissuade Liu Gan.
"Yes! Lord Liu, it's too dangerous!" Liu Kang also chimed in.
"How about you give up that thought and wait until we have reached level 15, then we can come back and work on killing it," Johnny Fei brought up a reason to help persuade Liu Gan.
"No, I must test out it's fighting ability. If I can find the weakness, then I might be able to defeat it," Liu Gan shook his head. He set his eyes confidently on the King Crocodile.
"Lord Liu, your life doesn't only belong to yourself. There's also vice leader Yin He, and everyone that worships you. Why must you stake your life on this risk?" Ana said in a serious tone.
"It is exactly because this is my life's purpose," Liu Gan replied to Ana, then he quickly ran ahead and disappeared from their view.
"Sigh… Lord Liu is someone who chases after their dream. I'm just like the clouds in the stratosphere. I'm nothing like Lord Liu, working as hard as a bull!" Stratos shrugged hopelessly.
"What a worrisome person!" Ana's eyes were tearing up.
"Sister Ana fell in love with Lord Liu!" Liu Kang handed over a issue to Ana gleefully.
"Delinquent! This is just pure friendship! Lord Liu is my idol, I just don't want my idol to get hurt!" Ana kicked Liu Kang aside.
