Chapter 63: Being a Rogue Merchant (Third Update)
"It's probably worth about one gold coin, but the monster drop rate is too low, and it's rarely sold on the market!"
"Haha, we've got another way to make money now!"
Then immediately click on Forging, and a pleasant system prompt sound keeps ringing in my ears:
"Ding! You successfully crafted [Tongmu Staff], crafting proficiency +1!"
"Ding! You successfully crafted [Tongmu Staff], crafting proficiency +1!"
"Ding! You successfully crafted [Tongmu Staff], crafting proficiency +1!"
"Ding! You successfully crafted [Tongmu Staff], crafting proficiency +1!"
I finished over 300 of them in one breath, this feeling is really too cool!
Suddenly, over 300 pieces were produced. If sold at market price, that would be equivalent to having 300 taels of gold. He hastily asked: "Liu Yu, how much did you spend on these materials?"
"Not much money, 50 copper coins for a piece of copper ore!"
Only 7 gold coins, and the Reforging Guide doesn't cost much either. This is really a lucrative business!
Liu Yu continued: "Then give me some more gold coins, I've already posted on the forum, and I'll be there at 10 o'clock sharp to collect. At that time, you can probably make a few thousand!"
Immediately gave Liu Yu 500 gold coins and then asked: "By the way, how is your task going now?"
"Already 70% done, if the speed is a bit faster, it should be completed by the day after tomorrow. At that time, I can finally go to level up! By the way, I haven't leveled up for several days!"
I couldn't help but laugh, Liu Yu's task was really annoying!
More than 300 law wands immediately made me think of Long Xiaoyun, that guy has so many people under him, he should be in urgent need of this kind of thing, but I couldn't go find him, Liu Yu wouldn't work either, he already knew about it when we were collecting herbs together before. After some thought, the Light Wind Knight would do, and so I immediately went to find him!
"Li Yunfei, I need your help with something!"
"Oh? What's going on?"
I told him about it and Li Yunfei agreed immediately!
After a few minutes, Li Yunfei sent over a message: "Long Xiaoyun has agreed, one gold coin for each, he wants them all!"
I was overjoyed: "Haha, great! I'll give you the thing right now!"
Li Yunfei didn't have as much backpack space as I did, and in the end, he had to call over Light Wind Three Kills to help him pack away all my staffs. After more than 10 minutes, Li Yunfei sent me a message: "Wu Xin, I've sold off all your equipment for 350 gold coins, what do you want me to do with it now?"
I smiled slyly: "Just give me 50 gold, and you can take the rest for now. When you're free, you can also help me collect some materials. When we make money, we'll split it together!"
"What's wrong with you... why don't you go find Long Xiao Yun yourself instead of making us go?"
I reluctantly said, "Because I've already made a lot of money from Long Xiao Yun's hands and we're quite familiar with each other, it wouldn't be good to take advantage of him. Besides, he would definitely haggle over the price with me, so the selling price would definitely not be as high as now. That's why I thought of you guys!"
"You have the potential to be a great businessman, playing games is a waste of your talent!"
I: “......”
After messing around for a while, I decided it was time to go practice my level. CloudyMM said she had guests coming over at home and wouldn't be able to get online tonight. Little Rain was dragged out by her classmates to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Actually, I really like Pirates of the Caribbean, especially when watching it in the movie theater - the scenes are so grand... they're even more golden than Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!
No way, Jackspero didn't even pay me for advertising, why should I advertise for them, it's so annoying!
"Hey, Xiao Qiao, Xiao Xue, want to go level up together?"
Yiru Xue immediately retorted: "Tonight I want to have a good talk with Xiao Qiao, you big man get out of the way!"
I: “......”
"I'll go too, and we can chat along the way!"
Xiao Qiao: "But we're going to discuss women's issues, are you sure you want to join us, brother?"
I: “......”
Helpless, I had no choice but to venture out alone to level up. In this day and age, finding a beautiful woman to accompany me in leveling up isn't an easy task!
I don't know if the monsters on the third floor of Qianyan Tower have spawned yet. If they have, I should be able to try now that I'm level 28!
But just as I was leaving the city gate, a player sneaked up behind me. Although those guys were very careful, they were still discovered by me. Hehe, I smiled and immediately accelerated to full speed towards Qianyuan Tower. Now that I'm already level 28, my agility is close to 50 points. Unless it's an assassin or archer, ordinary players can't catch up with me! Moreover, given my current defense and HP, assassins and archers are unlikely to pose a threat to me, of course, except for Xiaoqiao!
Those guys followed me all the way to Qianyuan Tower, I directly activated Strong Stealth and went in, those guys couldn't do anything about it. Now Qianyuan Tower is Long Xiao's territory, other players going in will definitely not have a good outcome. The ones who would dare to follow me are probably Ao Jue Tian Xie and Xue Zhan Alliance. Coincidentally, Long Xiao has grudges with these powers, if they dare to enter, they'll definitely die without knowing how!
Rushing through a layer, now there are over 500 players in the Long Xiao layer, and just this number alone is enough to make other forces not dare to intervene!
After entering the second floor, I found that there were also players on the second floor. They were all 24th and 25th level warriors accompanied by a group of priests and mages. It seems that this should be the elite force of Long Xia. I didn't pay attention to them either, and directly entered the third floor!
At this time, the three-layer finally brushed out a monster. I took a closer look and couldn't help but frown. The monsters here were actually 33-level Red-tailed Monkeys!
Red-tailed Monkey (Common Monster)
Level: 33
Blood gas: 2800
Attack: 159-208
Defense: 110
NND, its attack power is actually 208 points, if it hits me, it must be very painful. Moreover, with a defense of 110 points, I may not be able to reduce much blood when I hit it!
No wonder it's a 33-level monster, its attributes are indeed sharp! However, the more powerful it is, the more enjoyable it is to kill!
Summon Xiaozi, lock onto one of the monsters and launch a charge immediately!
Bang!
Akatora was immediately stunned, I grasped the Heart of Oak war axe and directly launched a sweeping slash that could fell thousands!
“-145”
“-151”
“-152”
It took a sweep of thousands of troops to defeat the monster with around 450 damage, and this defense is indeed not low!
Taking advantage of the monster's slumber, another heavy blow falls!
“-539”
I took down more than a third of the monster's HP in one breath, and that's roughly the extent of my improved defense as a knight. My level has increased over the past two days, but my equipment hasn't. However, other players are different - it's not too hard to get a few pieces of white equipment, and buying them only costs one or two gold coins each. If I could wear a full set of 20-level white equipment, my attributes would already be pretty good. My advantage is slowly shrinking!
It seems I still need to work harder, killing a night of 33-level monsters, and see if I can rush to level 30!
The monster quickly recovered from its dizziness, and with one punch, it struck my chest, causing my blood to churn and dealing 109 points of damage!
I was shocked, damn it, the 208-point attack is not fake after all. It can actually knock me down with just one hit, this monster is not to be underestimated!
Hurriedly downing a bottle of Primary Life Recovery Potion, afterwards Little Purple had already charged up and with one move of her tearing claw, fiercely scratched downwards!
Bang!
“-629”
Xiao Zi's attack is still quite sharp after all!
However, this monster's attack was too high, and a hard fight wasn't a wise choice. I immediately started moving positions, my foot slipped, and I had already arrived at the monster's side. My battle axe fiercely chopped down towards the monster's head!
“-275”
The monster turned around and punched, fortunately I judged accurately, quickly retreated a step, avoiding this attack. This monster is about the same size as a human, the length of its arm can't be longer than my arm + battle axe's attacking distance. After retreating, the battle axe continued to smash towards its head!
Bang!
This time, not only did I knock down the monster's 200+ blood gas, but also triggered a Vacuum Break, causing the monster to retreat continuously for several steps. I took advantage of the opportunity and rushed up, my battle axe chopping and slashing, while Xiaozi was also very unkind, grabbing the monster and inflicting wounds all over its body. As a result, after more than 10 seconds, the first Red-tailed Monkey fell at my feet!
I picked up over 30 copper coins from the ground, just now I killed that monster and consumed three bottles of potion which cost me 15 silver coins. It seems like the gain is not proportional to the cost, indeed leveling up is an expensive business. Fortunately my alchemy and blacksmithing skills earned me some gold coins, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford leveling up!
The drop rate of the Genesis monsters is too low, ordinary monsters almost don't drop anything except for a few copper coins, it's gotten to the point where players can't even get a full set of white equipment!
I charged towards the second monster, and this time I was more careful about controlling the distance. As they say, "one inch longer is one inch stronger". My attack range was only a few dozen centimeters longer than that of the monster, but by maintaining a good distance, I could avoid its attacks. This feeling was truly amazing!
This time, it only took two bottles of medicine to get rid of the monster, and the monster's corpse was refreshed immediately. However, when I turned back to look, the corpse of the first monster I killed was still on the ground and hadn't been refreshed! What's going on here? Is there something fishy going on?
Maybe it's because there's something else on the monster? Generally speaking, some fur and other things on monsters are also useful to players. Thinking of this, I cast a collection spell on the monster's corpse!
"Ding! You have collected the item 【Red-tailed Monkey Pelt】!"
