Like a pebble in the lake causing multiple, vast waves to roll out, a huge mob of ravenous warriors, wanderers, and magic knights came over the moment I said that. Equipment in Heavenblessed had a low drop rate, but the drop rate of weapons and accessories was even lower. Current Level 20 players were still using Level 10 Common-grade weapons with 2~7 Attack, which was pretty wretched.
”My dude, sell it to me, I'll buy it for 70 copper!”
”Give it to me, bro, I offer 3 silver!”
”I want it, 1 silver!”
The noisy crowd of people made a huge racket so I lifted the green blade and shouted, ”Don't bother if you're offering less than 50 silver!”
Many people in the crowd immediately quieted.
At this time, a group of people walked over. The one in the lead was astonis.h.i.+ngly a Level 25 Magic Knight, Dominating the World. It was someone from the Domination Clan. He was pretty high-leveled and the players behind him were all Level 23 or higher. It was clear that they were a high-quality team.
”2 gold,” Dominating the World stated indifferently.
This offer silenced the rest of the crowd. Anyone who was able to have 2 gold at this stage of the game was a madman!
I opened the trade window and placed the green blade inside as Dominating the World put in his 2 gold, completing the transaction. I had close to 10 gold now, and I felt like I've become a king of gold!
After repairing my equipment, I had to buy a few potions. Every one of my expenditures had doubled in this city. It was tragic to say the least. I could only endure it, who told me to stay in someone else's area?
My name immediately became red once I left the city. The appearance of a Night Creature player was no doubt a shock to anyone there. Of course, I ran fast and quickly disappeared from everyone's view.
I searched around for the locations of Rank 2 Cooking ingredients. The Rank 1 Applesauce only added 100 MP. It was enough for Warriors, Magic Knights and Wanderers, but not for cla.s.ses like Mages and Priests who relied solely on large amounts of MP. If I wanted to make a killing, I'd have to make some Rank 2 consumables.
Rank 2 Glutinous Rice Ball. Requires: Glutinous Rice x15, Chicken Meat x5, Salt x5. Restores 200 MP.
It's too demanding! I didn't just need Glutinous Rice, I also needed Chicken Meat and Salt. I knew where to get Salt. Merchants sold batches of ten, one silver each. It was a tad expensive, effectively increasing the entry level for production players. As for Glutinous Rice, I checked forums. Some players have found some at Wildfire Plains, west of Floating Ice City. Chicken Meat was obvious, I'd just go kill some chickens to get it.
I decided to walk around Wildfire Plains first, who knew if there was a quest I could accept? The monsters there were pretty high-leveled with the highest over Level 30. It was a place that players at this stage of the game couldn't handle, but a top-tier warrior like me with super high defense and explosive attack naturally wanted to check it out.
There were players in groups of two and three on my way there, but 99% of the players stopped when Level 30 Wild Wolves appeared in the deepest part of the forest. I, however, with my top-tier Bronze-grade equipment, continued onward. My target, the Wildfire Plains.
After almost an hour, the trees before me dwindled, replaced by lush gra.s.s. Under the scorching summer sun, there were various plants all over the place and myriad flowers in bloom. The entire view was a stretch of red that looked like a huge prairie fire. This was how the Wildfire Plains got their name.
Wildfire Plains were a neutral map. A short walk later, I discovered a temporary Silver Moon Alliance camp near the edge of the plains. I didn't dare to approach. Who knew if those humans would do anything to me?
I walked along its periphery for another ten or so minutes before my eyes brightened. A simple Night Creature camp had finally appeared!
There was a material merchant, a blacksmith, and a skeleton soldier. And that was it, the entire camp. It was so simple that it was impossible to get any simpler!
When I walked up, my eyes scanned the skeleton soldier. It was a common skeleton. Bony as h.e.l.l and way inferior to a Bone Creature like me with skin and flesh.
”Oh, little skeleton from afar, what can I help you with?” the skeleton yelled when it saw me. ”It's really dangerous here. You must take care, our enemies are everywhere!”
I nodded and didn't say anything.
The soldier sat on a human skull. ”The wild beasts inside the Wildfire Plains have grown more and more rampant. Our camp has already been attacked three times these past three days. Young Night Creature, can you help us eliminate these wild beasts?”
The quest came. I was already planning to do that so I nodded decisively.
Ding~!
System Notice: You have accepted the quest [Eliminate the Wild Beasts]! (Quest Rank: E)
Description: Go to the southern part of the Wildfire Plains. You will see many wild Greedy Wolves there. Kill at least 100 Greedy Wolves and collect 40 Greedy Wolf Fangs. Bring them to Undead Soldier Dayi for a very generous reward!
The quest was a pretty high E rank so it looked like the levels of the monsters here weren't too low either. It required me to kill a decent amount too. It seems like today will be a long day of grinding.
As I walked into the plains wielding my Weeping Fire Blade, the flames at the tip of the sword made whoos.h.i.+ng sounds, making this Bronze-grade weapon particularly attention-catching.
My surroundings were completely overgrown. The southern part of the Wildfire Plains had experienced a large fire about half a year ago, causing the area to appear desolate. Bones of wild animals were everywhere and the howl of wolves echoed over.
Rustle...
I glanced toward the soft noise, discovering two fire-red, giant wolves with eyes already fixed on me. Their eyes were blood-red and their mouths were open, revealing many sharp fangs with drool dripping from them.
Wildfire Greedy Wolf (Common)
Level: 32
Oh man. It is actually Level 32, this quest is seriously difficult!
I cautiously turned but the two Greedy Wolves howled before they pounced over, swift and violent!
”Crack crack!”
Fangs sank into my shoulder with a piercing pain. Even though the Bronze-grade Cyanfire Cloak was draped over my shoulders, it still couldn't defend against a Level 32 monster's attack due to the level discrepancy.
