216 The Cheap Stuff Are Absolute Trash! (1/2)

”Look at it yourself!” The Informant dismissively answered after Wang Yu explained the reason for his visit this time.

Wang Yu was utterly speechless as he looked at the conversion table for the points exchange... it looked like a gaming noob like him really did lack alot of 'common sense'.

There were twenty five items that could be redeemed with the event points, split into five different tiers of five items each. The lowest tier items only needed one point, while the next required ten, so on and so forth. While the highest tier required ten thousand points.

Amongst the items that could be redeemed, there were scrolls, blueprints, equipments and skills books. The only issue was that none of these items had an item description... meaning you wouldn't know how good something was until you had it in your hands.

Wang Yu was very cautious by nature and didn't really understand gambling. He especially didn't have any faith in his luck, making him reliant on the advice of others.

”Teacher, how should I choose?” Wang Yu asked as he passed 10 gold coins over to the Informant. After having interacted with this shameless NPC for so long, Wang Yu understood that he would be ignored if he gave anything less.

”The expensive stuff aren't necessarily good and the cheap stuff are absolute shit!” The Informant replied after a moment of pondering.

”That makes sense!” Wang Yu nodded his head in agreement: ”Should I go for equipments or the other stuff?”

”There isn't anything that is objectively bad, it's about how you use it!” The Informant replied.

”Thank you teacher!” Wang Yu politely thanked the Informant as he choose a blueprint from the highest tier, trading in his points.

Wang Yu didn't really have a very high requirement for the equipments he was wearing, hence he thought it would be a relatively safe bet to choose a blueprint. After all the items were mostly consumables that could only be used once.

But blueprints on the other hand were something only blacksmiths could use, since Wang Yu had the Refiner job, this blueprint was the most suitable item for him.

Wang Yu was extremely relieved when he saw the words 'Rare blueprint', immediately taking it out of him inventory for further inspection, but what he saw next had made his slack jawed with disappointment.

: Rare blueprint. Requires the player to know low grade engineering.

”F*ck!” Wang Yu nearly fainted in shock.

He had only chosen this item because of the advice that the Informant had given him, yet he still received an utterly useless item.

”Teacher, are you trying to pull a fast one on me?” Wang Yu gloomily asked the Informant.

”I've already told you very clearly, just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's good...” The Informant repeated himself.

”Can I refund it?” Wang Yu pitifully asked.

This was twenty thousand points, it could definitely be exchanged for something better... even someone as easy going as Wang Yu could not help but feel vexed by the amount of points he had just wasted.

”This... it's against the rules...” The Informant replied.

”About that... will 10 gold be enough?” An advanced AI like the Informant could definitely ignore this rule, but only if he wanted to.
