Chapter 4: The Demon Sword Apophis

  Looking at the small 3-digit number on the corner of the skill icon, Lin Wu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that upgrading this skill level requires continuous practice or a moment of enlightenment."

  Consecutive Thrust, Level 3, Increases hit rate when using thrusting attacks. Hit Rate Increase: 15%.

  Then Lin Wu closed his skill tree, tidied up and walked out of the forest.

  ……

  Seitenshou, an ordinary medium-sized city, is famous for its location in the south of the Violet Kingdom and for producing a very special type of green wisteria.

  Today, a 'wild man' suddenly appeared in Qingteng City. "Ah, finally out." Lin Wu looked at the city in front of him and let out a long sigh of relief.

  Lin Wu was completely unclear about the route, and in that forest, he walked a lot of wrong roads, which made Lin Wu stay in that vast forest for several days before coming out.

  With curiosity, Lin Wu walked into the first city he arrived in this world. Everything there was so novel. Although Lin Wu had accepted the memories of the original owner of this body, those memories were almost all negative ones. Except for that single warmth in his heart, there was hardly any other specific information left.

  As he walked through the city, Lin Wu realized that his outfit hadn't drawn anyone's attention. Just as he was wondering about this, a muscular man with a bare torso and only wearing a pair of shorts casually strolled by, carrying a giant axe. Seeing this man's attire, Lin Wu suddenly felt that his own fur-clad savage look was rather subdued in comparison.

  "Found it." Lin Wu, who had been curiously looking around the city, suddenly lit up in front of him, and not far away was a store with the words "Buying Furs" written on it. However, except for the fur coat he was wearing, Lin Wu didn't have any other furs on him.

  After finding the fur procurement point, Lin Wu's next move was strange. He didn't walk directly to the store, but instead came to a secluded and deserted place. Then, Lin Wu lightly pressed the seal on the ghost hand cuff with his hand.

  Right after that, a light screen similar to the skill one appeared in front of Lin Wu, with four options: equipment, consumables, materials and secondary occupation. Lin Wu lightly clicked on the material option, and instantly a light screen with nearly a hundred grids appeared, among which more than a dozen grids displayed a small icon, and that icon was exactly the pattern of fur.

  Lightly tapping on the fur patterns, Lin Wu's hand would produce a piece of fur each time he tapped. Before long, all the fur in the dozen or so grids had been taken out by Lin Wu. Satisfied, he nodded his head and closed the light screen, carrying a stack of fur as he walked out.

  As he walked into the store, it looked very deserted inside. The empty store had only one person in it. "Are you buying fur?" Lin Wu asked the store owner who was yawning and looking bored.

  "Ah, here you are." Hearing Lin Wu's voice, the shop owner, a middle-aged man with a sharp face, saw the stack of fur in Lin Wu's hand and said hastily.

  Lin Wu put all the fur on his hands on the counter, and seeing so many furs, the astute middle-aged man was overjoyed that he could make a lot of money this time.

  "Hmm, this is a wild rabbit skin. Although it's not worth much money, the quality is good, so that's 50 copper coins." The shrewd shop owner picked up a pelt and quickly gave a price, then glanced at Lin Wu's expression.

  Then, the shop owner rummaged through the pile of fur that Lin Wu handed over one by one and quickly gave out the corresponding prices.

  "Huh?" The shop owner suddenly looked at the fiery red fur in his hand, which was only two palms big, and let out a surprised cry, "First-class magical beast Fire Mouse Fur!"

  When the shop owner spoke, Lin Wu also saw this fur, which was a mouse that could spit fireballs discovered by Lin Wu in that forest. Don't underestimate this mouse, the ping-pong ball-sized fireballs it spat out were quite powerful. Lin Wu had to use a lot of effort to kill it, and even used the power of ghosts and gods.

  "Hmm, how about I offer a gold coin for this pelt?" The shop owner said calmly, as almost no one would buy such a beast's pelt from him. Generally, these beast pelts were bought by the Mages' Guild at high prices, which used them to make magic scrolls and equipment.

  When Lin Wu heard the shop owner's words, he knew that the fur of this first-class demon beast was definitely not worth just this price. However, what Lin Wu lacked most now was money, so he also readily agreed.

  In the end, Lin Wu got a total of 1 gold coin and 30 silver coins from those furs, which was absolutely a small fortune. In this world, one gold coin is enough for several months' living expenses for an ordinary family.

  After getting the money, Lin Wu's first priority was to take a bath and change his clothes. When he reappeared in the city, he had changed into a set of cyan warrior attire, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a dagger inserted beside it. At this moment, Lin Wu also had some young swordsman's demeanor.

  Lin Wu paid the price of 80 silver coins for this set, with the ordinary iron sword costing 60 silver coins and the dagger costing 10 silver coins. In this world, weapons and other items are very expensive, while others are very cheap, which is inseparable from the strong being respected in this world.

  Then, Lin Wu found an inn to stay temporarily. When he came to the guest room, Lin Wu quickly closed the doors and windows, gently stroking the bracelet on his hand. The light screen appeared again, this time Qin Leiyin pointed to the consumption item option. There were nearly a hundred grids in the consumption item selection, which was much more than in the game. What excited Lin Wu the most was that each grid had a pattern.

  Most of the patterns are red or blue test tube-like items, which are naturally potions in the game. Red is life potion and blue is magic potion. Among them, there are two icons with a small 1000 number on top of each, one red and one blue.

  This was originally a low-level life and magic potion that Lin Wu had obtained from an auction house to practice his trumpet, all of which came with Lin Wu to this world. In addition to these, there were some miscellaneous items, all of which were props in the game. For example, when Lin Wu pointed at a wine glass-shaped pattern, a wine glass filled with bright red liquid appeared in Lin Wu's hand.

  Sacred Wine: Restores 150 MP and increases Spirit by 30 for 20 seconds.

  The familiar sacred wine in his heart, Lin Wu gently moistened his mouth, the mellow flavor was intoxicating, and there was a warm energy flowing through his body. More importantly, it was that refreshing feeling that lifted his spirits, although it only lasted for 20 seconds, but the feeling was unforgettable.

  After drinking a cup of sacred grape wine, Lin Wu looked at the remaining 39 digits on the icon with a pang of heartache. Moreover, Lin Wu currently didn't know how to fight or cast magic, so drinking this energy would be wasted. This kind of thing was like drinking one less cup, and Lin Wu had only prepared over 1000 low-level potions for practicing his small account. Except for a few high-level potions as a precaution, he basically didn't prepare any other potions because when playing games, he could brush up on maps without wasting anything.

  Taking advantage of the slight intoxication, Lin Wu suddenly shifted his gaze to the equipment options. After a moment's hesitation, Lin Wu finally opened the equipment options, and unlike the consumption items and materials options, what appeared was not a grid but a space - a dark space where a giant sword stood quietly in the depths.
