Chapter 6 Preparatory Work (Seeking Collection)

  In the blink of an eye, the bustling new village quieted down a bit.

  BOSS? Is that the BOSS of the explosive space fruit? That BOSS only explodes space fruits and won't drop equipment.

  Liu Yun was stunned, and some memories flashed through his mind.

  He didn't go with them because the boss refreshed and most of the vendors left.

  He occupied a golden stall at the village entrance and started packing up his things.

  "Purchase Copper Space Fruit, Limited (50)?"

  Some players who didn't go to fight the BOSS looked at the words written on this stall and came over one by one.

  Space fruit? 1 copper? This is a good deal!

  Many players secretly worried about it.

  In the open space outside Newbie Village, a giant Wild Boar King would spawn every four hours. This Wild Boar King had thick skin and meat, but its attack was not high. In the early stages of the game, players could rely on their numerical advantage to grind it to death within an hour. However, what was strange was that almost none of these Wild Boar Kings outside Newbie Village would drop equipment when killed. Instead, all players who participated in killing the BOSS would automatically receive a Spatial Fruit...

  Everyone has spatial fruit, and the system hasn't explained what its function is. The wild boar demon king isn't a one-time-use monster either; even if it dies, it will refresh. Therefore, spatial fruit isn't anything rare.

  People were worried about this thing taking up space, now someone is collecting it, naturally there are also people selling it.

  Moreover, the initial 1 copper plate cannot be ignored. Seeing that Liu Yun was making a limited purchase, these people couldn't wait any longer and directly took out the spatial fruit from their bags to trade with Liu Yun.

  After a while, Liu Yun had collected fifty of them, and there were only twenty-nine copper plates left in the bundle.

  "Dude, do you still want them? I have seven Space Fruits here, all yours if you can take them!"

  Look, Liu Yun is packing up and leaving, a fairy approached and asked in a low voice.

  "It's okay, thank you!"

  Liu Yun smiled slightly and turned around to run away. Although he could have bargained for the seven spatial fruits, at this moment, the money in his pocket was more important.

  The grocery store is open-air, just a small stall, with all sorts of goods on display, including hoes, hooks, ropes, iron sheets and so on.

  The boss was a thin and gaunt old man with a head full of white hair, sitting in his chair, narrowing his eyes as he watched the players coming and going.

  "What does the young man need?"

  Seeing Liu Yun walking over, the old man smiled slightly and asked in a hoarse voice.

  "A ten-meter-long rope, a hoe, and a bundle of amulets! And two pieces of iron!" Liu Yun said clearly what he needed.

  "There are still many things you want! The rope and amulet are fine, what about the hoe and iron plate?" The old man narrowed his eyes at Liu Yun, with a smile in his eyes: This is a rich man!

  "The pickaxe needs to be able to easily chisel through ironstone... The area of the iron plate needs to be larger than a normal man's palm, and the sharpness needs to be greater than 30%." A sharper tool is more likely to tear apart objects, with a sharpness greater than 30%, ordinary rocks can already be cut open.

  "Oh, the iron piece is fine, let me find a hoe for you!" The old man stood up and turned around to rummage through his stall.

  "Crane Beak Hoe: Can be used at a certain cultivation level (first floor), price 18 copper."

  Iron Hoe: Can be used at a certain cultivation level (first layer of human grade), price 38 copper. The old man took out two hoes and then reported the usage level and price.

  The material of the copper hoe is not good, but it requires a high level to use, while the steel hoe has excellent material and can be used at a lower level, so the price is more expensive.

  "Bring me the copper hoe with a crane-shaped mouth!" said Liu Yun after some thought.

  "Go!"

  The old man took out a rope, an amulet and an iron plate, and handed them to Liu Yun together: "A total of 27 coppers."

  After paying the money, Liu Yun's pocket was left with only two copper coins. He exchanged the remaining two copper coins for a few bottles of spiritual recovery potion and then quickly left the village.

  Out of the newbie village, Liu Yun rushed straight towards the direction of Bu Zhou Mountain. The foot of Bu Zhou Mountain was where the mountain stone demon spawned, and there were many players forming teams there. If one ran up to the top of Bu Zhou Mountain, they would encounter (first-level ground) monsters. Those who dared to level up here had at least the same strength as the monsters, which was (first-level ground).

  Skilled use of the boulder to change the terrain trapped the monster, Liu Yun rushed all the way, carefully hurrying for over 20 minutes, before finally running to the halfway point up Bu Zhou Mountain.

  This is the peak of the monsters that have been brushed (to the ground level), and players can no longer be seen. Although the game has been open for four days, players at the sky level are still very rare. Practicing here, not a single team can't even fight.

  If he rushes forward again, Liu Yun's cultivation at this point is clearly not enough.

  He walked to the edge of the mountain road, looked down at the mountain, and saw that the waist of the mountain, hundreds of meters high, was already shrouded in clouds and mist, with birds flying under his feet.

  His eyes scanned the spotless mountain wall, and suddenly his gaze stopped at a protruding rock on the mountain waist.

  It's really here!!!!!

  Liu Yun secretly rejoiced in her heart.

  The diameter of the protruding stone is only about half a meter, and it's not very big. In front of the protruding stone, there is a narrow slit, inside which is pitch black.

  From where I stand now, looking at that protruding rock, it's about seven meters away, but it's tilted...

  However, on the mountain road above the convex stone, there are quite a few (first-level heaven) monsters active, and it's absolutely impossible to get close, otherwise you'll be instantly slaughtered.

  Liu Yun furrowed his brow, he raised his head and looked around in all directions. The strange rocks around him were steep and rugged, but it wasn't difficult to find a stable rock. He took out the rope, tied it to a rock, then let down the rope, following the rope down to its lower end. Afterwards, he stepped on the mountain wall with one foot and exerted a slight force.

  The rope began to swing immediately.

  Liu Yun was like a swing, swaying back and forth. However, when the rope swung to its rightmost extreme, it was less than half a meter away from that protruding rock.

  This rope is not of good quality and cannot withstand prolonged shaking. If it shakes for a long time, the rope will break.

  Below is a hundred-meter-high mountain stream, and falling down will undoubtedly die.

  Liu Yun gritted her teeth, adjusted her position, and suddenly exerted force again. The rope immediately swung to the right side.

  The wind whistled past his ears, Liu Yun concentrated his mind, his eyes fixed intently on the protruding rock that was getting closer and closer, and his hand grasping the rope also broke out in a cold sweat.

  The rock is getting closer and closer, finally! The rope was pushed to its limit, it had shaken to the highest point, and Liu Yun's whole person also approached that rock.

  He hastily stretched out his foot and caught hold of the other side of the protruding rock. In an instant, the rope stopped swaying.

  At this time, Liu Yun's whole body was almost tilted and suspended on the waist of Buzhou Mountain. If an ordinary person saw it, they would probably have a heart attack...

  The foot caught on the protruding rock, and it was almost a success.

  But Liu Yun didn't dare to relax, he slightly exerted force, making his soles face forward, and with the help of the force from his soles, his whole body slowly moved closer to the protruding rock.

  Ka-chunk, one foot stepped firmly on the protruding rock, while Liu Yun also quickly freed his right hand to grab some of the rocks jutting out from the mountain wall. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he loosened his left hand and grabbed onto a boulder on the mountain wall.

  The rope suddenly swung open, and Liu Yun was like an extreme mountaineer, suspended on the mountain waist without any protective measures.

  His hand moved bit by bit towards the convex stone, and his twisted body slowly recovered.

  Finally, balance was restored, and both feet landed steadily, only then did Liu Yun let out a heavy sigh of relief.

  If it weren't for the lack of strength, there would be no need to go through so much trouble, and just hanging a rope from the top of the mountain would do. However, Liu Yun didn't have (a layer of Tianjie) cultivation, and couldn't defeat the monsters scattered on the mountain road above.

  He took a deep breath and directly pulled out the pickaxe, starting to fiercely swing at the fissure next to the protruding rock.

  (Next week, rush to the top of the chart. I hope everyone will accumulate energy and push old fire a bit after 12 pm on Sunday night. After entering the new book chart top 20, start updating 10,000 words every day. These two days are 6,000+ per day. Thanks to those friends who support old fire.)
