Chapter 171: I Hate You (2/2)
My facial muscles twitched. ”Qingqing, are you trying to cheat your friends?”
”Yes, I cheat people like you!”
Forget it. 12 gold. Based on the present market exchange rate, one gold was about 1 RMB. It would really reach this price in the future. Eventually, the game company would adjust prices of item repairs and NPC shops to maintain this rate. After all, it made for really easy accounting...
Rank 6 Health Potion, restores 1500 HP. One gulp is 12 RMB. It was more expensive than Nutri-Express!
With a face of disdain I raised two fingers. ”Gimme twenty!”
”Okay!”
Clear Perfume threw the packaged potions to me. ”Thank you for your patronage. 240 gold. Anything else I can help you with?”
I swallowed. I had been scammed. I looked at the other items in the stall. These 20 Rank 6 Health Potions could only be used when fighting bosses. I had to have something else when killing ordinary monsters. My HP was too high. Low-rank pots and recovery powders the NPC potion shops sold were of no use to me.
”How much for Rank 5 pots?” I asked.
Clear Perfume laughed. ”4 gold for one, 36 gold for a stack. 324 for 10 stacks since you’re buying in bulk. But with your discount, 388 gold and 80 silver!”
I took out the gold and looked deeply at her. ”Qingqing, I hate you...”
Clear Perfume laughed. ”Oh Lu Chen, but I love you...r gold, hahaha~~”
It appeared that Lin Yixin's friends were not easy to get along with. In the future, I had to reduce our interactions. Otherwise, I would be robbed out of my skin!
Immediately, 628 gold left my pockets. I only had 200 gold left in my bag. This was also the remainder of the money I had gotten selling Rank 6 Magic Consumables.
I waved at Clear Perfume and said, ”I'm going!”
”Hey, Lu Chen ~~”
Clear Perfume suddenly called me and then stopped speaking.
”What is it?” I turned around.
She pursed her lips and whispered, ”Recently, Yiyi hasn't been in a good mood. If you have time, could you meet her? Every time she teases you her mood gets better for a while...
I was shocked. ”Fuck, this is building one's pleasure on someone else's pain. How about no?”
”You have to!”
”Alright, 500 gold!”
”You!”
Sun Qingqing stomped her foot. ”Stupid Lu Chen, Yiyi was right about you. You are a gold fanatic!”
I laughed and turned to leave. I raised my right arm. ”I’ll contact her when I’m free. Qingqing, don't worry for nothing!”
”Oh... ooh!”
……
I passed the city gates and found three Flower Room players nearby. Their names were red and they were looking warily at me. My name was hidden. Unless they actually knew me, they should not recognize me. There were many warriors in Floating Ice City dressed in a blood-red cloak and black armor.
”Look, he’s from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and their vice leader at that!” An ugly assassin snickered. ”Brothers, go get him. If we record, we can trade for a lot of gold from Young Master Le. Quick, if we miss this, we won't have another chance!”
And so the other two players followed, entering Frost Forest along with me.
I turned my camera angle and quickly saw their info—
A Level 54 assassin, a Level 59 magic knight, and a Level 60 mage!
The only threat would be Ice Dragon Howl from the mage, but his items didn’t seem particularly powerful. He probably wouldn’t do more than 300 damage to me. In the face of my 2350 HP, it was nothing.
After entering the forest, I opened one of my hands. A magic hexagram formation flashed on the ground. The Dark Wasp leapt out, its buzzing sound was like a requiem.
Behind me, the three Flower Room players followed closely. I immediately discovered the assassin was already attacking!
His dagger shone with a cold gleam. Cold Blade!
Clang!
I had already drawn Ghost Ice Soul and let him get close. I used my precise judgement and parried his attack. The damage was minimal—21!
Heavenblessed put much emphasis on individual skill. If a player used their weapon to precisely block their opponent’s attack, the damage would be decreased by 20–90%. Of course, it also depended on the Strength stat. If you had 1000 Attack and your opponent had 100, parrying with your blade wouldn’t really do much.
……
Rustle...
The difference in power was great. The assassin was driven back by my sword blow and left behind a long mark on the grass. His pupils contracted and he shouted, ”This isn't good. He’s the leader of Bloody Mercenaries—Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”
