-------------------------------------

"There really is such a thing..."

Li Aozi supported his chin, realizing that this completely confirmed his guess.

"This product was only listed in the mall after the release of the 9.7.1 version patch... 9888 Point Tickets, which is about half a month's salary for an average worker. With that money, it's better to buy some outfits, since you can easily farm Arcane Energy later on. This is totally prepared for those rich players who don't lack money."

Li Aozi never cared much for game top-ups; if he could grind out free items, why spend money?

Of course, some outfits should still be bought, after all, being strong is temporary, but being handsome is a lifetime thing.

"Speaking of which, I wanted to buy the Hell-themed outfit before but crossed over before I could. Logically, I should still have some Point Tickets in my account, right?"

Li Aozi's mind moved, and he checked his personal account in the mall.

[Account Balance]114,514 Point Tickets

"Damn, did I really top up that much?"

Li Aozi pulled at the corners of his mouth.

Actually, it wasn't surprising. "Starry Abyss" is a game with an in-game player trading platform where many rare accessories and outfits could be directly exchanged for money.

For example, the "Eternal Spear" and "Dragon Sniper" from [Counter-Strike Elite] or the "Rainbow Pony Outfit" from [Beast Tamer], would be put on the trading market by players waiting for others to purchase, with final settlements done in Point Tickets.

Later in the game, "Starry Abyss" formed its own Point Ticket trading system thanks to a complete currency system, akin to Emperor Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire and winning big.

Li Aozi couldn't tell if this money was topped up by him or left from player trades. There was also a slight chance he had won it from retweeting official posts with good luck.

He had seen many players' game dynamics, which were full of retweet-and-win posts from the "Starry Abyss" official account, created just to exploit giveaways.

Such people often amazed others with the exclamation: "Wow, Abyss!"

"Tsk, it's a pity the [Game Mall] no longer directly sells Experience Crystals and skill books. I can't boost my level immediately."

Li Aozi immediately bought the [Omega-level Gene Awakening Drug] and the account balance dropped to 104,523. There wasn't much he could buy with that balance at this stage, and since he wasn't a player, buying outfits had no meaning for him.

"Apart from [Game Mall], [Faction], and [Achievement], many sections are not activated. Is it because the version is insufficient? Or because I'm in an NPC template and don't enjoy players' privileges?"

He didn't have a [Backpack] function and couldn't store items in a fourth-dimensional space like players did. Thankfully, he decided to go the [Mutant] route, and this occupation had low equipment requirements.

The thing that truly disappointed Li Aozi was that mini-games like 'Starry Abyss Auto Chess', 'Platinum Miner', and 'Beat the Little Devil' weren't unlocked yet. These mini-games had built-in ladder rankings, and the higher the rank, the more rewards the game system would give.

The most common reward was Experience Crystals, and if Li Aozi enjoyed late-stage patch treatment, even reaching only Platinum rank in chess would earn him 100,000 Experience Crystals.

"I thought I could earn some experience steadily through playing chess, what a pity."

Li Aozi scanned the mall for stable, safe ways to gain experience. Many items here weren't useful for starting occupations, and with his limited Point Tickets, he couldn't afford to waste them. It'd be better to save them for trading rare items later.

For example, in his palm now was an electric injector containing golden liquid. He examined it repeatedly, a restless idea bubbling in his mind as some mysterious, abstract aura emanated from within the injector, seemingly magical, continually capturing his thoughts.

'Consume it, and all will be revealed.'

He shook his head, slightly surprised.

[It seems the raw materials for this thing aren't good stuff...]

Though he sighed internally, the game's official products were the most trustworthy.

After all, they needed to make money from players, so the product quality wouldn't be poor.

Without hesitation, Li Aozi pushed out the injector's needle, perpendicular to his skin, then inserted it into the deltoid muscle of his left arm.

Hiss...

Pressure applied, the mysterious, noble golden liquid, like deity blood, flowed into his body. It felt very light, with low density, giving no foreign body sensation but rather a light, floaty feeling.

Beep!

Injection completed, Li Aozi cleaned and stored the injector, which was reusable. Then he quickly lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and waited for the [Omega-level Gene Awakening Drug] to take effect.

About 30 minutes later, Li Aozi felt his consciousness blur and his head grow heavy. He struggled to lift his hand and place the back of it on his forehead, realizing from the burning heat that he had already started to develop a fever.
