Chapter 33: Inner Energy Protects the Body

  The most ruthless and cunning one, left the short and small archer speechless, could only tightly grasp the dragon wing blade, silent and wordless, but refused to leave.

  Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled to himself, knowing that his timing was almost right. He seemed to remember something and said: "Right, actually this special prop has another use..."

  "Oh? Are you going to buy it?" He had secretly given up hope, thinking that Lin Chen wouldn't spend the money, but upon hearing this, he hastily lifted his head, his eyes filled with a surprised and delighted expression.

  "I have a younger brother who is training under a Dragon Knight, although his current abilities aren't that great, but getting some dragon blood to activate this magic tool should still be possible. His birthday is in a few days, I think giving him this as a gift would make him pretty happy..." Lin Chen said with a low hum, gently stroking his chin.

  It seems that this is the decision, nodding to the archer and saying: "Okay, name a price, if I think it's reasonable, I'll buy it."

  "Three hundred gold coins?" The archer hesitated for a moment after hearing Lin Chen's words, and then asked cautiously.

  300 gold coins can only buy three bottles of high-quality potions, and the price is absolutely a bargain. After all, a piece of high-quality equipment can also be sold at this price, and equipment of the same level is more expensive than potions. This is a very common truth: equipment can be used for a long time, but potions can only be used once.

  However, although 300 gold coins are not very expensive, as the saying goes, being able to save one is one, working hard to make money and being frugal is Lin Chen's creed, which is also an attitude that a professional player should cultivate.

  Being a professional gamer is not considered a stable job, so only when they have saved enough money can they be said to have some confidence. Just like Lin Chen in "Tian Xing" earned a lot of money that could make him one of the rich, but he still lives in a very ordinary apartment.

  At the mention of 300 gold coins, Lin Chen's face sank. "300 gold coins? Just state your lowest price directly, I don't want to beat around the bush."

  "One hundred and eighty gold coins plus ten copper coins! It can't be any lower than that!" The archer looked at Lin Chen's appearance, sighed helplessly, and said seriously.

  "One hundred and eighty gold coins? And you still want to add ten copper coins?" Lin Chen's eyes widened as he stared at the archer, this price was indeed laughable. It was like asking someone how much a mobile phone cost and they replied it was one thousand three hundred yuan and one mao, that extra one mao was really unimaginable.

  "Why add another ten copper coins?", Lin Chen asked curiously, looking at the short archer with some surprise, he was indeed very curious about this strange price.

  "Uh...", upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the short and small archer's face turned slightly red, looking somewhat embarrassed, "That one hundred and eighty gold coins is non-negotiable, but I haven't eaten for three days, so I also need ten copper coins to buy a few mantou."

  "Ding. Triggered 5-star mission 'Unrequited Love', reward experience 4500, reward skill book 'Internal Energy Shield', accept/reject". Just then, the system's prompt rang out in Lin Chen's mind, leaving him stunned.

  Without hurrying to choose whether to accept or decline the task, he looked at the archer seriously and said: "What do you plan to use 180 gold coins for? Tell me."

  He didn't expect Lin Chen to ask this, the archer was slightly surprised for a moment, and didn't think that Lin Chen would be interested in this, but after hesitating for a moment, the archer also felt that there was nothing that couldn't be said about this matter, so he began to explain.

  "I'm actually a member of the Whirlwind Mercenaries, one of the Four Great Mercenary Groups. Our captain was wrongly accused and is being held captive, so I escaped to find a way to rescue him. I heard that the Centurion needs an extremely potent medicine to remove the lingering cold poison in his body, which is why he's willing to pay 180 gold coins for it. Hopefully, this will persuade the Centurion to show mercy."

  Things were simply said, and Lin Chen also understood, nodding slightly to accept the task. This was when he opened his mouth to say: "To be honest, I don't have any gold coins now, but I do have potions. If you really want to trade, tomorrow morning I'll be selling some potions. You can come here tomorrow morning and I'll give you a super-hot potion. Of course, if you're not assured, I can also give you 180 gold coins."

  "Oh, I'll come over tomorrow morning then...", since Lin Chen has said so, the archer had no choice but to agree. After all, it was only a matter of one night's time, and the archer could still afford to wait, as there were still two days left before his captain's trial and sentencing, and he would still make it in time.

  Watching the archer leave, Lin Chen spoke up to keep him, calling over a servant from the inn, having the servant prepare a late dinner for him, putting it on his own tab, letting the archer leave with a thousand thanks. He hadn't eaten in three days, and although the Dragon Blade Wings hadn't been sold yet, at least he could eat a meal first.

  "Haha, congratulations to you, sir! You're really something else. With just over a hundred gold coins, you managed to get your hands on such a special item. At least until you reach level 8 Sky Realm, this special item will be very useful." Only after the archer left did Ates turn around with a smile and congratulate Lin Chen.

  An eighth-level Sky-tier expert is called "Sky" because at this level, professionals have acquired the ability to fly. However, how many eighth-level experts are there? Tens of millions of people can't reach the eighth level in their lifetime, so a special prop that allows people to fly is absolutely rare.

  "Yates, how fast can you move?" Lin Chen asked Yates instead.

  "If I recover my whole body, it's about 30 meters per second... ", Lin Chen didn't understand why he asked this, but Atreus still answered. In his true form, Atreus was as tall as a three-story building, and with his physique and eighth-level strength, he could run at full speed for one second and cover a distance of about 30 seconds.

  "Alright, once the Dragon Blade Wings are in hand, I'll leave them for you to use. After all, you have some dragon bloodline in your body, so it should be fine," Lin Chen nodded and said.

  With Yatsu's mobility speed, plus the Dragon Blade Wing, the flight speed will reach 95 meters per second. This is absolutely better than activating the Dragon Blade Wing alone. Besides, for Lin Chen, there is no difference between using it himself and having Yatsu use it. He can also satisfy his craving to be a dragon knight.

  "Ah?", Not expecting Lin Chen to say that he would give the Dragon Scale Feather to himself, Arte let out a stunned expression, then immediately reacted and excitedly shouted: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!!!"

  For the Wyrmkin Ates, the greatest wish is to become a true dragon, and once becoming a true dragon, he will have acquired flight capabilities. Although installing the Dragon Wing doesn't make him a true dragon, at least in terms of flight, he has already achieved it...

  "It doesn't matter, whether you use it or I use it, it's all the same. Besides, if you use it, you can make better use of the Dragon Blade's functions...", shaking his head, Lin Chen didn't mind Ates' gratitude, in fact, what he was concerned about in his heart was still the task just now.

  Entering the Sunset Forest to find the Tempering Bone Flower is a four-star task, but this seemingly simple task that only requires an extremely hot potion can be completed with just one dose, yet it's a five-star task. It seems that this task is definitely not as easy to complete as it appears on the surface.
