40 Violet Orchid the Pries (1/2)

The Blackflame Shackles that Gold Digger Babe obtained from the elderly elf had been appraised. It was actually a Gold-tier magic tool equipment. As it was a special tool, it could only be appraised at the Bandit Guild. According to Gold Digger Babe, a magic tool could be exchanged for some rare metals such as refined Gold and Mithril, worth between thousands to tens of thousands of gold coins. Moreover, one could also use them to upgrade his or her proficiency in some lockpicking skills. The smug expression on the girl's face was apparent as she spoke.

After getting to know the properties of the Gold Equipment and Dark Phoenix Spellbreaker Sword, the two girls were amazed. This was despite Little Kitten knowing that the total value of these three equipment was more than 10,000 gold coins…

As expected, no one gave the suggestion about splitting the items under the circumstances.

Qin Ruo dared not to mention it, because after all, they were all friends and teammates. Bringing it up would just hurt everyone's feelings; as for the two girls, it was rather impossible for them to talk about it as well. Hence, the topic was once again centered on Aquamorph.

Regarding this skill, Qin Ruo only knew a little more than the two girls, but even if they started to study it now, there was not so much time left before the sky turned completely dark! Come to think of it, he began his quest at 2.00 pm, and until now, four hours had passed… Having had his lunch at noon, his stomach was starting to growl.

Upon adding each other as friends, Qin Ruo parted with the two girls, who seemed a little reluctant to leave, and go offline.

It was 6.00 pm!

Usually at this time, Qin Ruo would be at Xin Yu's place. However, it was only an hour away from his agreed meeting time with Slayer's Heart and team. Given such a short afternoon break, there would not be enough time to go there, thus he gave up the thought. After going out to have some food, he returned to his game again.

It was almost 7.00 pm by the time he returned to Savis Town. It was close to the agreed time, so Qin Ruo did not have the chance to look for a secluded place to study Aquamorph.

He looked around subconsciously as what Brother Da said during the day crossed his mind. Players came and went as usual, he could not detect any traces of undercurrent.

This was the biggest difference between the gaming world and reality; one was a virtual world with hundreds of millions of players where they fought whenever there was a dispute. But the next day, it would be so peaceful, even when the two enemies met, they may not even try to kill each other immediately. Most were just doing what they had to…

Fights involving nearly 10,000 people as well as battles between tens of thousands of people would not affect the structure of this world. They would also not cause all the players to slow each other's progress.

However, an important figure's insignificant and minor action… such as not being online for a day, could cause rankings to drop from the top. It could actually lead to a huge earthquake in this virtual world!

The unearthing of a legendary equipment, or the fall of a powerful Boss would change the whole world!

This was the gaming world, which was filled with countless uncertainties and variables!

When 7.00 pm came, Slayer's Heart, Burning Rose, Little Apple, and iLittle Arrow arrived as scheduled. They appeared in front of Savis Town's entrance.

Seeing Qin Ruo waiting there, the four of them smiled.

”Have you been here for a long time?”

”I was on leave this afternoon, came here at 2 o'clock, and completed a quest. Can you guys give me some advice on whether these equipment can be sold?” Ever since Qin Ruo knew that prices for highest grade equipment sold within the Seven Great Leagues were a lot higher than when sold outside, he lost interest in putting those items up for sale on the market. He then retrieved the three equipment for everyone to see.
