By the time I returned to the workshop, it was already past 10 pm . So instead of grinding for levels, I purchased some food ingredients such as Garlic, Green Pepper and Chicken Meat and made some Rank 5 Magic Consumables for sale . It wasn’t a lot of money, but I was okay with covering some of my living expenses .
I went to bed at midnight . From here on, I promised myself not to stay up late unless there was a guild event .
The next day, early morning .
“Black Threads, Black Threads!”
Yamete’s slightly unhinged voice entered my room from outside . “Does anyone know where I can buy some Black Threads! It’s the only material I’m still lacking to make a level 50 Dark Steel–grade leather armor…”
Du Thirteen suggested, “Maybe buy some common threads and put them in ink?”
Gui Guzi also chipped in . “Or you can try casting a spell . Just say these magical words: Sink into darkness, you threads!”
Beiming Xue: “ . . . ”
It was at this moment I walked out of the room and said, “Calm down, I know a place where you can buy some Black Threads . ”
“Really? Where?” Mamate’s eyes lit up .
“Hmm…” I thought for a moment before replying, “Yeah, I think there’s an NPC at Frost Mound that sells Black Threads . You won’t be able to buy them by yourself though . Just leave it to me, I’ll make the purchase once I log into the game . How many do you want?”
“40 stacks, please!”
“Not a problem . Just wait for good news at Floating Ice City . ”
“Okay!”
I logged in after eating breakfast .
Swoos.h.!.+
I set out immediately after repairing my equipment and stocking up on potions . It took me only fifteen minutes to pa.s.s through Frost Forest and arrive at Frost Mound .
It was quite early in the morning, so the morning fog hadn’t dissipated yet . The frozen domain of death was chock-full of undeads, and I could smell the disgusting blood pools long before I saw them .
Beep!
Lin Yixin sent me a message: “Lu Chen, I found legguards that boost dark attacks . You want them? I can sell them to you cheap!”
“Oh? Send me a screenshot, please!”
“Okay!”

A few seconds later, I opened the screenshot Lin Yixin had sent me . I was surprised by how good they were . Silver-grade!
Bone-shatter Legguards (Silver-grade)
Defense: 70
Strength: +24
Stamina: +20
Pa.s.sive: Increase user’s dark attacks by 50
Level Requirement: 60
“f.u.c.k, this is amazing…” I couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you find such powerful Silver-grade legguards, Yiyi?”
“Well, Qingqing and my people challenged a Level 65 boss around 6 am in this morning, and they almost got party wiped . So, they wanted me to act as the tank and the DPS . This is my reward for helping them out…”
“It can’t be cheap, right?”
“It’s fine . So? How much gold are you willing to pay? If the price is acceptable I’ll trade it to you . ”
“100 gold!”
“OMG, have a heart please…”
“200 gold then . That’s the most I can afford!”
“Deal . Where are you right now? I’ll bring it to you right away . ”
“I’m at Frost Mound right now . ”
“Okay, see you!”
I was very pleased with this unexpected boon . No matter how you cut it, 200 gold for such powerful Silver-grade legguards was a sweet deal through and through . Not only did they give 70 Defense, 24 Strength and 20 Stamina, they added 50 damage to all dark attacks . It was worth even more than plus 50 Strength! This equipment was only average to Lin Yixin, but it was a G.o.d-tier item to me!
Hopeful and excited, I ran all the way toward Frost Mound . It was at this moment a sorrowful ring suddenly entered my ears .
Ding~!
System Notice: You have failed the quest “Promise” (SSS)!
What? I failed a… quest? What… what’s going on?
I rubbed my eyes just in case I was seeing things, but there was no denying it . The quest had turned dark gray in my quest list . Somehow, my legendary quest with Xinran had ended in failure!

Did something happen to Xinran?
I suddenly had a bad feeling about this .
I pa.s.sed through a forest and heard a strange, crunchy noise all of a sudden . A Night Creature was currently feeding next to a blood pool . I knew the NPC’s back well, it was none other than my trainer, Undead Swordsman Suren!
I quickly ran up to him to see what he was doing . I was utterly shocked by what I saw .
A beautiful girl was lying on the gra.s.s next to the blood pool . She was dead, and her face was full of fear . Worse, her arm had been stripped off its flesh . It was the work of Suren .
Xinran… She was Xinran . . .
I felt like my heart was being twisted by a knife . A Night Creature had consumed Xinran! There was a tiny bamboo basket on the ground, and its contents—bread and fruits—were all over the place . It was what Xinran was staring at until the moment she died .
