Chapter 28 (1/2)

Yue Qiang was sure that, if the doctor Ming Que was a real human and not an NPC, he would definitely die from anger.

Just now, he had faked the appearance that his attacks were weak. At first the doctor Ming Que thought that Yue Qiang wasn’t willing to save him, then he thought that Yue Qiang did not have the ability to save him. Then, after he had taken out four items in a row, this Yue Qiang had eliminated all the enemies within a matter of seconds.

System Message: You have acquired the item ‘Goldmaker Pill’

Item Description: Refined by a famous Fang Ji Pract.i.tioner. It can increase a weapon’s attack power when reforged into with that weapon.

System Message: You have acquired the items ‘Inner Canon’ and ‘Outer Canon’.

Item Description: ‘Inner Canon’ and ‘Outer Canon’ are both famous literary work written by a famous Fang Ji Pract.i.tioner. It contains the detailed explanation of the body’s network, the refinement methods of a variety of pills and other Fang Ji techniques. It is ranked seventh out of the top ten cla.s.sic literatures and is incredibly rare! 16 points of Mind is needed before the entry level of both books can be learned.

System Message: You have acquired the item ‘Nameless Pill’

A sticky-looking pill that looks extremely worn. It is said that it can increase one free distribution stat point (please use at your own risk).

Not a bad haul!

Looks like this dialogue system was really useful. He had extorted four treasures out of doctor Ming Que while he was in danger. Great profit man, great profit! Yue Qiang felt no guilt from capitalizing on another person’s needs whatsoever. He’s just an NPC after all, wasn’t he?

Looking at them closely, the item he was most interested about was actually the two books ‘Inner Canon’ and ‘Outer Canon’. He hadn’t found anything resembling a martial arts esoterica or theurgy after playing this game for so long, you know. These two books might have ordinary t.i.tles, but they were obviously related to the study of human network. Since the game had looked so realistic, it was improbable that he would learn a powerful technique or esoteric or something in a flash of golden light like in other games. It was very likely that he would have to read the books to acquire a skill!

Moreover, when Yue Qiang first entered the game, his quest wasn’t to perform a combat quest or anything, but to learn the ‘a.n.a.lect’! He literally typed more than 400 sentences from the ‘a.n.a.lect’ before he successfully completely a hidden quest. This also caused him to pay extra attention to ‘book’ type items in this game.

There was still a ‘Gui Gu Mathematics’ in his bag that he didn’t read. He wondered what kind of amazing effect it would have.

He had also learned a new information at the same time he received these books: there was a top ten cla.s.sic literatures leaderboard in this game.

In other games, leaderboards such as weapon and equipment, technique, cla.s.s and even beauty were incredibly common, but a book leaderboard was quite rare. He wondered what kind of pleasant surprise reading a book that could only be read with special stats would give?

Other than these two books, he also regarded that ‘Goldmaker Pill’ that could increase a weapon’s attack power significantly. At worst, he could still increase the attack power of his blackish iron rod. One might well say that its attack power had skyrocketed from nothing to something.

As for that pill that he had originally looked forward to, said to be able to increase one free distribution stat points, Yue Qiang actually hesitated whether he should consume it immediately.

Even the system itself had given out the message: ‘please use at your own risk’, not to mention the string of rather lousy adjectives… Never mind. Let’s put it in the bag first.

While Yue Qiang was examining his blackmailed trophies, the doctor Ming Que also did some simple treatments to his wounds. Right now, his health had regenerated less than half a bar and reached a yellow health status. He was definitely a doctor type NPC alright.

On the display screen, Ming Que had stood up and wanted to walk away immediately at first. But then, he suddenly came to a halt.

He grew interested in Yue Qiang’s weapon, ‘A Blackish Iron Rod’.

“I am afraid to ask, young sir, but have you gotten this blackish iron rod from the blacksmith Tan Xiong?” Ming Que said with half-baked, ancient-not-ancient cla.s.sical chinese characters.

“It is so. This is the favor I have gained from the blacksmith Tan Xiong after I have completed the matter he requested me of.” Seeing that the NPC had suddenly let out a most interested expression, Yue Qiang himself had taken note immediately. Could it be that there were yet some secrets behind this weapon that was without any attack power?
