Chapter 18 – Hidden Quest

Nie Yan and Stone briefly exchanged a fewup the call By this time, he had already arrived back at the island There, he found Physician Blevins still fishi+ng by the lakeshore

“Youngster! How e to collect?” Physician Plevins asked after seeing that Nie Yan had returned

“Esteeathered I’d like to request that Senior have a look,” Nie Yan replied in a polite and for in quests

“Youngster, I enerosity Please take these thirty Silk Cloths with you as a means to repay your kindness Furthermore, I have also decided to impart upon you a skill”

「System: Physician Blevins wishes to teach you Intermediate Combat Medic Will you learn it?」

Nie Yan felt his heart skip a beat This was exactly the skill he wanted to learn Without showing the slightest hint of hesitation, he ie, Blevins, has taught you a skill You have learned Intermediate Combat Medic」

Intermediate Combat Medic: Allows the player to create and use Interes while in coe replenishes 20 health every second for 10 seconds Healing can be interrupted after 3 seconds of applying bandages Bandages can also be used on other party members

Ten silk cloths were equivalent to twenty coppers Although it was a tad expensive, this was still a skill that could save lives in a moment of crisis!

「System: The task Physician Blevins has entrusted you with is 20 complete」

Nie Yan stared blankly at this notification Reasonably enough, he believed that the quest would have ended after handing in the thirty Fine Silks, but reality proved otherwise What the hell? Why is it only twenty percent coster, thirty bundles of Fine Silk is still far fro to helpto aid you in your task,” Nie Yan hurriedly replied It appeared that the Cothy quest He was clueless as to what other quest rewards would lie further ahead “Esteemed Senior Here are five Rare Fine Silks that I’d chanced upon, though I am unsure of their usefulness”

“Fine Silk beco Each bundle of Rare Fine Silk is equivalent to six bundles of common Fine Silk,” the Old Man explained to Nie Yan Afterwards, the Old Man inquired further, “So youngster, are you willing to give them to me?”

“Yes,” Nie Yan replied Five Rare Fine Silks were equivalent to thirty ordinary Fine Silks He had been killing Water Spiders for so long, yet he never once thought to hunt Water Spider Leaders despite the better drops

However, this was to be expected, as killing a Leader-ranked Water Spider was truly too dangerous of a task In any case, it wasn’t so Nie Yan could simply accomplish by himself

「System: You’ve received 30 Silk Cloths」

「System: You’ve received Headhunter’s Silver Leather Armour」

「System: The task Physician Blevins has entrusted you with is 40 complete</e the second syste, he found a silver-coloured piece of armour within his inventory

Who knehat kind of animal hide was used to h, durable, and radiated a silver-white lustre Furthermore, it didn’t need to be appraised

Let’s take a look at its properties

Headhunter’s Silver Leather Armour (Silver)

Requireth +5, Dexterity +5

Weight: 3 lb

Restrictions: Thief, Paladin, can only be equipped by a hteous faction

The properties of Silver-grade equipher than normal equipment Furthermore, they also included two additional properties With current market prices, Nie Yan estimated that he could sell this piece of armour for at least five silvers if he put it up in the auction house

Nie Yan’s equip level 5, as he would finally be able to replace his current equiper and Headhunter’s Silver Leather Arhts in mind, he suddenly felt enerous with his quest rewards, and sixty percent of the quest still remains unfinished If I try to far myself to death! I’ll just spend some money to buy the materials off the auction house instead Ninety Fine Silks… that would be about three silvers Ah… looking at it this way, I’h money to spend freely

to rack his brain for a solution to this difficult probleuide that he viewed in the past

It was then that Nie Yan had a sudden flash of insight Back when the gaame was a drop by the na Level 0 beginner weapons Even hable, these weapons would come out with pitifully low attack Thus, for the most part, no one, aside from the occasional player ould purchase a few to level up their Blacks the skill, would buy the Bat Teeth Other than that, there were just no other players ould bother buying any Not to mention even if you sold five stacks of thele copper For these reasons, there were quite a few Bat Teeth littered across the ground in the Level 3 Bat spawning area, as feould bother picking them up

Many players would rather throw them away than have this trashAs a result, only the poorest of players would bother picking the them to the NPC stores

Nie Yan, however, knew these Bat Teeth had another use They could be given to a high-level blacks his hidden quest In exchange for ten Bat Teeth—half of a full stack—you would receive a little bit of experience and one copper Furthere an unlimited amount of Bat Teeth with this blacksmith As more and more players discovered this blacksly

This sort of business is actually doable… </eht All he needed to do was head to the Level 3 Bat spawn area and advertise that he’s buying a stack of Bat Teeth for one copper He’d soon have a ht to his doorstep Afterwards, he could exchange all of them with that blacksmith in Calore city and receive his quest reward This way he couldup at the sa like this!?

Nie Yan no longer hesitated and i to the town, he retrieved his two silvers froe, threw all his unwanted equipment up in the auction house, and then finally went to the appraiser to appraise the Soft Leather Gloves that he looted fro a Level 0 equipment with an additional property of Dexterity +2

The properties were fairly decent for Level 0 equiploves on; they were the first piece of Bronze-grade equiploves radiated a faint cyan glow until Nie Yan turned off the visual effects in equips It was still best if he kept a low profile If his equipment was too conspicuous, then he would very likely be followed after leaving the city After finishi+ng up his business in town, Nie Yan went through the transfer point to Calore city From there he went directly to the Kade Smithy within the city center

Calore city housed over sixty s services You could buy everything froe equipment to weapons, armour, and even horseshoes Only the Kade Smithy differed from this norm Of all the smithies in the city, it was the h-level blacksather Bat Teeth In his former life, the player who first discovered it was a Paladin After discovering that this blacksht a large ae amount of profit and experience He wanted to keep this his own secret, so he worked especially low key However, as this Paladin purchased an increasingly large arow suspicious What could this Paladin possibly need sohim to the Kade Smithy, and the secret became publicized However, by that time, most players were already over Level 10 The price of Bat Teeth had increased, and no players illing to sell them for a low price now It already wasn’t worth it for theo back to the area and farm Bat Teeth for the quest When those Level 10 players recalled all the Bat Teeth they threay in the past, they could only helplessly shake their heads and sigh As for the Paladin who had first discovered this hidden quest, he had already earned overflowing basins full oftime

However, at present… the only person who knew of this hidden quest was Nie Yan and Nie Yan alone!

Nie Yan entered the Kade Smithy Its shopfront was extremely narrow, nevertheless, it was still one of the nated by the Viridian Empire Military

As Nie Yan entered the smithy, he saw an NPC apprentice blacks you require?” the Apprentice ca for Mister Kade”
