Chapter 51: Bn 69 (2/2)
I thought about it some more, and I concluded that these Rank 3 potions at 50 silver weren't that overpriced because I had seen others selling Rank 2 potions for 30 silver per.
And so, I took out 10 gold. ”Then give me 20 bottles!”
”You're so generous, boss!”
Lin Yixin praised as she took the money and gave me the goods. She had so many potions in her bag, though. Wasn't she afraid of getting killed? Skilled players seriously were too bold.
I repaired my equipment, then left the city to grind some more levels. My target, Wildfire Greedy Wolves in Wildfire Plains to level my Dark Wasp. I hoped to do some hardcore grinding to level my Dark Wasp to Level 30 within 24 hours. By then, its stats would be enough to help me in battle. Additionally, I still needed to gather more Glutinous Rice to make Rank 3 Consumables. I wanted to push Rank 4 Cooking as soon as possible. After all, making Rank 4 Consumables was the way of a king.
…...
I grinded all the way until 6 pm, when Du Thirteen and Gui Guzi wanted to go out to eat.
I went to find a graveyard at the edge of Wildfire Plains and squeezed into a masterless grave to rest before logging off.
Inside the workshop's living room, Du Thirteen and Gui Guzi were full of energy.
”How are you doing today?” I asked.
Gui Guzi smiled. ”I'm Level 31 and Brother B's almost Level 30. We also happened to help a few people on some quests that weren't too time-consuming. Brother B and I made a total of 5 gold!”
I nodded. ”Not bad, not bad. According to the current exchange, 1 gold is about 80 RMB. You two making this much today makes you guys about the same as gold collar workers…”
”How much did you make today, Boss Broken Halberd?”
”About 100 gold.”
”...”
Gui Guzi was stunned. ”What did you do to make that much gold? Don't tell me you've been killing people in the wild and selling their equipment?”
”How's that possible?” I gave him a glance and asked, ”Little Gui, you have Undead Knight cla.s.s, do you have the skill Death Plunder?”
”No.”
”Do you have Undead Energy?”
”No…”
”s.h.i.+t! What do you even have?”
”Undead Combo, Undying s.h.i.+eld…”
”That's not bad…”
I sighed inwardly. Gui Guzi also had an undead cla.s.s like me but he was treated completely differently. He didn't have Death Plunder which meant that he didn't have my near-100% chance to plunder skins and hides to make money.
…...
We ate at an outside food stall like before. I raised my cup and said to the duo. ”Let's toast. We'll pool our gold together tomorrow and go earn our b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries' first profit!”
”Mn, mn!”
Du Thirteen and Gui Guzi beamed red and drained their cups in one shot.
After eating for a while, I patted my thigh, clock's hands already showing 7:30 pm. ”Let's head back!”
Du Thirteen held a barbecue skewer and said, ”No, I haven't finished eating. Why are you so anxious to go back? Got a little lover waiting for you to get back online for a tryst?”
I glared. ”Who do you think I am?”
”Haha, I'm right. Little Gui, look, Lu Chen's red…”
”Die!”
I angrily dragged the two guys back to the workshop and quickly logged on.
Swoos.h.!.+
I appeared in Wildfire Plains and checked the time. It was 7:45 pm.
Without a word, I dashed toward Frost Forest. I pa.s.sed through the thick forest to a village near a rocky mound. That was Starting Village No.1, the place where 10% of Floating Ice City's players sp.a.w.ned.
8:10 pm.
Hidden inside the forest, I checked out the newbies coming out of the starting village but didn't find the person I wanted to see.
Sword in hand, I then headed to Starting Village No.2.
I was disappointed. I still didn't see her.
It lasted all the way until 9:30 pm when I arrived at the tenth starting village that I finally saw her.
In a quiet village with a row of wooden fences a new human knight appeared. She held a shabby sword in her right hand and a wooden s.h.i.+eld in her left. The simple and crude newbie outfit she wore couldn't conceal her beauty. She had soft, snowy cheeks and her fair neck shone under the moonlight. Beneath her s.h.i.+rt were two shocking protrusions.
She indifferently glanced at the Big-eared Rabbits outside and muttered, ”Heavenblessed, I'm here…”
The magic knight charged at her first prey, the shabby sword flew, striking a Big-eared Rabbit in the head. As for her own head, a row of words also floated above it—
From Water LV-0 Magic Knight
He Yi, she's finally here!
