Out of Print Expert was a party of six people. If they used the scroll together, there would still be five people left. As long as he killed them, he would be able to reach level 30 in one go. Then, he would be able to equip the Electric Crossbow and Sea Phantom Spear!
However, the difference in level between him and the three of them was too great. After Sharp Knife and the others were killed by Out of Print Expert, the level difference between them was nine levels. Ceci Hailow was also five levels away from them.
With such a level difference, Chen Mo knew that even if he and Ceci Hailow launched a sneak attack together, they would not be able to kill Out of Print Expert and the others.
Although Out of Print Knight had been killed by him once, his level was still there. They would definitely move together. If he could not kill them with a sneak attack and was taunted by Out of Print Knight, then he would be the one to die.
Ask for help?
In the Eastsea City, he only knew Xue Yehua and Fairsky. However, their levels were also very low. It would be useless even if they came.
It was impossible to ask for help. However, Chen Mo had another idea.
After making up his mind, Chen Mo frantically searched for neutral merchants in this area.
Two hours later, Chen Mo finally found an old NPC under a huge tree.
"One gold coin."
Chen Mo indicated that he wanted to use the warehouse function. The old NPC glanced at him and said indifferently.
Damn, these NPCs were getting more and more cunning. Seeing that he was so unlucky, they immediately raised the price by ten times!
However, even if the old NPC asked for ten gold coins, Chen Mo still had to use it obediently.
After paying the fee of one gold coin, Chen Mo took out the Spring of the Sea from the warehouse and ran towards the City of Shadows.
"Brother Chen, you're finally here."
Two hours later, Chen Mo had already entered the City of Shadows. Then, he found Fatty Tian in a place where there were no monsters spawning.
When Fatty Tian saw Chen Mo, he immediately wiped his sweat and said.
"Since you have so much free time, why don't you train the lower level?" Looking at Fatty Tian's level 20 body, Chen Mo speechlessly said.
He wanted Fatty Tian to deliver the items directly to him in Eastsea City, but Fatty Tian was only Level 20. There was no way he could cross the border between the two cities. He had already done his best to get here.
"I want to train too, but I'm busy. I'm not as free as you, Brother Chen. All you need to do is play games all day long." Fatty Tian sighed.
"These are the materials you asked for. The total is 45 gold coins." Fatty Tian then handed over a backpack full of potions to Chen Mo.
These were the materials that Chen Mo had asked him to purchase. They were mainly monster blood and supplementary materials needed to make potions.
Now that players' Gathering skills had reached a higher level, the amount of monster blood they could obtain had also increased. Moreover, not many people were willing to buy this item. Compared to a month ago, the price had dropped by ten times. Now, players only needed 10 Silver Coins to purchase a portion of monster blood.
This was also because the chances of obtaining monster blood were too low, which allowed it to maintain its value. Otherwise, the price of this item would have dropped even further.
Naturally, Chen Mo was happy that the price of monster blood had dropped. He didn't have many gold coins on him. If the price didn't drop, he wouldn't be able to purchase many portions of monster blood.
Chen Mo asked Fatty Tian to help him purchase 100 portions of Ape Blood, Red-Eyed Rabbit Blood, and Vampire Blood. In addition to the supplementary materials, it cost Chen Mo 45 gold coins.
Originally, Chen Mo still had 50 gold coins on him. It was enough to pay for these materials. However, after using Coin Flash twice in a row, he had spent 11 gold coins. As a result, Chen Mo only had 40 gold coins on him. He was short by 5 gold coins.
However, Chen Mo had killed many people on Weapon Island. Among them, some of them had dropped green equipment with decent stats. Chen Mo had kept them, so he gave them to Fatty Tian as compensation.
"Take them and sell them. If it's not enough, I'll make it up to you," Chen Mo said.
Holy sh * t, now I'm really broke. I don't have a single coin.
"It should be enough. I think there will be more," Fatty Tian muttered.
"If there's more, just take it as your hard work fee.
By the way, does your worm company accept small orders? "Chen Mo asked.
"Small orders?
How small?
If it's too small, of course, we can't accept it. It's not enough to pay for labor.
Right now, the company is just starting to build its reputation. As long as the remuneration is over 5,000, then depending on the situation, we'll accept any orders that aren't too complicated. "When it came to orders, Fatty Tian immediately perked up.
"Okay, I want to place a 50,000 order. The content isn't complicated. It's just to follow a few people in Donghai City for two days.
The requirement is that someone must accept the order within six hours and provide the approximate location of the target. The target can't be aware of it. "Chen Mo nodded and roughly explained his requirements.
"Follow people in the game. The remuneration is 50,000. Excluding the company's commission, the remuneration is quite considerable. The order definitely won't be a problem. Leave it to me. I'll contact you after I've arranged it!"
Fatty Tian was very experienced. He immediately knew that this order was very feasible.
There were Assassins in the game. Following people was even easier than in real life. There was no danger, and the remuneration was high. He could easily find players with good reputations to accept the order.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
After Chen Mo told Fatty Tian about the target, Out of Print Expert, and the others, he rushed back to Donghai City.
On the way back, there were no accidents. Chen Mo would use Blood Refining to make three types of Monster Potions every once in a while. He would consume materials and empty some slots in his backpack.
The success rate of Blood Refining was still very low. About six to seven times, Chen Mo had only succeeded once.
Fortunately, the failure of the refinement consumed very little stamina. Otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn't have been able to refine many materials before his stamina was depleted.
When Chen Mo rushed back to Donghai City, Chen Mo had refined nearly 150 sets of materials and obtained seven to eight bottles of each of the three types of Monster Potions.
However, this was within expectations. The only thing that made Chen Mo happy was that after refining so many materials and exhausting all his stamina, his Blood Refining skill had finally leveled up to Beginner Level.
"Damn it, this is too difficult!"
Chen Mo sighed. It had been more than a month since he had learned Blood Refining. He had finally leveled up from Beginner Level to Beginner Level.
However, he couldn't level it up previously because there was too little monster blood. Now that he had more monster blood, as long as he had money, leveling up the skill would be much easier.
"Big Brother Adventurer, you're back!"
Chen Mo found the place where Hai Weila and Hai Ruorou were hiding. When Hai Weila saw Chen Mo, she cried out in surprise.
Chen Mo had set off at noon yesterday. The round trip had taken him nearly 20 hours. It was now past eight in the morning.
"Did you get the Spring of the Sea?" Hai Ruorou quickly asked.
"I got it." Chen Mo smiled and took out the azure Spring of the Sea.
"Good!
That's right, this is it!
Hai Weila, drink it quickly. After drinking it, you should be able to recover your strength! "Hai Ruorou's eyes lit up.
"Okay." Hai Weila took the Spring of the Sea and gently sipped it, drinking it all into her small mouth.
A faint blue light emerged from Hai Weila's body. Hai Weila's face flushed red.
"My body seems to have a lot of strength!" Then, she excitedly waved her hands and legs.
"You are a member of the Seafolk's royal family. As your body grows, you should have awakened some special abilities. However, you have been sealed, so you haven't learned them. After drinking the Spring of the Sea, your abilities should have appeared. What abilities do you have now?" Hai Ruorou asked with a smile.
Chen Mo also looked over curiously.
"Song of the Sea and Neptune's Light. It seems like I only have these two abilities.
Why are there only two? Sister, I don't think I have the ability to attack enemies. "
Hai Weila felt for a moment and said dejectedly.
"Song of the Sea and Neptune's Light. These two abilities are very good. As for the ability to attack enemies, you are still young. You will slowly learn it in the future. Don't worry." Hai Ruorou smiled.
Song of the Sea and Neptune's Light. These two abilities increased a companion's Attack Power, Movement Speed, and Casting Speed. The other healed a companion while removing negative statuses. They were both advanced abilities unique to the Seafolk's royal family.
Chen Mo asked about the use of these two abilities. After listening to Hai Ruorou's explanation, his eyes immediately lit up.
System Notification: Hai Weila's Favorability towards you has increased by 5 points!
System Notification: Hai Ruorou's Favorability towards you has increased by 10 points!
At this moment, the system notification rang out. Chen Mo hurriedly looked over. With one glance, he was a little speechless.
It seemed that 70 Favorability was indeed a threshold. The system actually let him be stuck at 65 Favorability, not giving him a single point!
If Hai Weila's favorability reached 70 points, he might be able to do some shameless things with Hai Weila.
Hai Ruorou's Favorability had also reached 40 points. However, 40 Favorability was far from enough. It was unknown when he would reach 70 points.
"You two, I have something that I need your help with."
Taking advantage of the increase in their Favorability towards him, Chen Mo immediately took the opportunity to speak.
"What is it?" Hai Ruorou asked. Meanwhile, Hai Weila looked over curiously.
"I have a few enemies that I want to kill. However, their levels are higher than mine, so I can't kill them. I would like to ask for your help." Chen Mo directly stated his intentions.
That's right, he wanted to ask Hai Ruorou to help him kill Out of Print Expert and the others!
Out of Print Expert could ask an NPC to help him issue a fake quest. It was not impossible for him to ask an NPC to help him kill people!
Although Hai Ruorou's strength had greatly decreased, she could still deal with a few Level 34 players. With her help, Out of Print Expert and the others would not be able to escape.
Moreover, Hai Weila had also recovered her strength now. She could also help.
"It's not a problem to deal with human players. However, we can't let the natives of the human race discover us. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. Right now, Hai Weila and I are not a match for them."
Hai Ruorou did not think too much about it and straightforwardly agreed.
Chen Mo's spirits rose. It was good to have a high Favorability. If it were not for such a high Favorability, Hai Ruorou would definitely not have agreed so readily.
"Alright, when I have news of those people, I'll bring you two along to take action!"
Fatty Tian quickly sent him a message. Someone had accepted his request and was currently outside Eastsea City. They wanted to meet him and add him as a friend so that they could contact each other.
