After killing seven or eight elite Skeleton Warriors in a row, each of them gave me more than 50 gold. However, their equipment wasn't that easy to drop, and the Exiled set was exactly what I wanted.
Thud!
The Flame Spear slashed down with golden light, and the ninth Elite Skeletal Warrior immediately collapsed, turning into a pile of broken bones. At the same time, it also dropped a pile of gold coins and a leather bracer. It was also made of dark leather, and there were faint magic runes on its surface. It should be part of the Exiled set!
I immediately picked up the equipment with joy. As expected, it was the Exiled set's wristguard —
[Exiled Wristguard] (Silver-grade — Leather Armor)
Defense: 55
Agility: + 20
Stamina: + 15
Set Effect:???
Level Requirement: 45
(Unappraised)
… …
I couldn't help but feel happy. But then I said regretfully, "Why isn't this a Gold-grade set?
Otherwise, I might be able to sell it for a few million. I could then buy a villa at Solitary Villa Lake. How carefree would that be … "
But then I thought about it. Gold-grade equipment was nothing. If it was a Dark Gold – grade set, it might be able to sell for tens of millions. Not only would I have a villa, I might even be able to buy dozens of beautiful salesgirls to raise in it. That would be carefree!
However, Dark Gold – grade equipment couldn't be considered high-end equipment. Above that was Earth-grade. If it was an Earth-grade set, I could sell it to the richest man in the city and open my own nightclub and internet cafe chain. That would be carefree.
But why a nightclub and internet cafe chain...
And so, while I was fantasizing about selling a Heavenly God – grade set and becoming the richest man in the world, creating the first Transformer and naming it "Big Yellow" as a watchdog, an elite Skeleton Warrior swung its steel sword at me!
Clang!
A damage number of 579 appeared above my head. I immediately gulped down a health potion and glanced at the potions in my bag. I still had more than 400 blue potions and 1200 red potions. Thankfully, I had been wise enough to buy more red potions. Otherwise, I might have been forced to leave this place a long time ago.
However, even if I bought a health potion, I still couldn't guarantee that I would be able to kill monsters continuously. After all, health potions had a cooldown. Usually, after killing a skeleton, my HP would drop to half and I would have to wait around two minutes for my HP to recover to full. This was probably why Ling Xue wanted to learn how to make bread. After all, bread could quickly recover my HP when I wasn't in combat. It was much more practical and practical than health potions.
However, the life skill system had only been released today. Right now, there was no one who could make bread. I could only think about it. I had to kill the skeletons in front of me one by one. Every time I killed one, I would wait in boredom for my HP to recover. I had to use healing skills on my head, even though each skill could only heal 100 HP.
Just like this, I diligently killed monsters. By three in the afternoon, I had reached Level 52. Yes, I was one step closer to Ling Yue's Level 54!
At the same time, I also gathered an Exiled set and two helmets. Yes, I could continue gathering them. I was just selling them for money anyway!
As far as I knew, the unspoken rule in the game was the same as in real life. The first time was always the most precious. The first boss to be killed would drop the best equipment. The second time, the drop rate would drop by half. The third time the same boss was killed, the drop rate would drop to 25% of the first time. So on and so forth. After ten times, even if you killed the boss repeatedly, it wouldn't drop any top-tier equipment that was worthy of the boss's level.
The same was true for Elite monsters. The first time they were killed, they would usually drop the best equipment. When the map spawned new monsters, the drop rate wouldn't be as high. This was also the reason why players crazily sought to kill Bosses and Elite monsters the first time they were killed.
That was why, although the first time was shaky, the excitement was unparalleled.
There were quite a few Elite ranked Skeletons in the Bone Wilderness, and they covered the entire mountain range.
At around five in the evening, Ling Xue told me to log off for dinner. But when I turned on the logout system, I received a shocking notification — "Ding ~!"
System Notice: You have been in Bone Wasteland for 312 minutes. You will be forcefully teleported out after 288 minutes!
Because this is your first time entering Bone Wasteland, you still have two chances to enter!
… …
I was dumbfounded. This game's setting was amazing. It actually limited the number of times a player could enter the map. Could it be that a player could only enter Bone Wasteland three times in their lifetime?
Eternal Moon Corporation was so stingy!
Looks like I've already used up my first time. Luckily, I was the first player to enter the Bone Wilderness. Up until now, no other players had found this place. It was very likely that this canyon could only be entered by jumping down, and there were no other entrances. Since I didn't tell anyone, naturally no one would be crazy enough to jump down from the cliffs.
There were still four hours left. I had to make good use of this time. I had to kill all the elite monsters in Bone Wasteland at least once. That way, this trip would be worth it!
So I said to Ling Xue, "Um … Ling Xue, I'll log off later. I can't leave right now. I'll probably log off at around 10 at night. Leave me some Mountain Pepper Chicken Giblets in the fridge. That's my favorite …"
Ling Xue said exasperatedly, "Alright, 10?
I'll log off and tell them. Then I'll go back to leveling. Let's log off and eat at 10! "
I was moved. "Why do you want to eat with me?"
Ling Xue explained, "Because … Hmm, I don't know either. If you ask again, I'll beat you up!"
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the little beauty's fierce voice. I said, "Alright, then let's eat in four hours. I'm busy!"
"Mn!"
After I sent Ling Xue away, I continued to grind. At 6 pm, a golden light fell from my head again. I had reached Level 53. This leveling speed was absolutely shocking. On the China server ranking, I jumped from 7th to 5th, below that Fierce Wind Warrior Hellfire. However, I believed that surpassing him would be a piece of cake before I logged off at 10. Not long after, the girls of Xue Yue Studio logged off to eat dinner and logged back into the game. Qin Yun called me and said with a smile, "Scholar ~ Ling Xue said that you love Mountain Pepper Chicken Giblets and Corn Lotus Seed Soup, so I made two extra servings and put them in the fridge. You can log off and eat them later!"
I laughed on the inside. One of the Mountain Pepper Chicken Giblets was mine, so the other one was definitely Ling Xue's. Now she was throwing them both at me.
So I nodded with a smile and said, "Beauty Yun, where did you learn these skills?
Nowadays, there aren't many girls who know how to cook. Moreover, you've opened your own advertising company. You're really good at both the main hall and the kitchen. Whoever marries you must have accumulated eight lifetimes worth of virtue! "
Qin Yun covered her mouth and smiled. "If you really think so, why don't you want me?"
I paused and said, "I don't. Then... didn't I bring you to Snow Moon and take you in?
Also, there's no such thing as asking for a wife every time we meet. We weren't that close before... "
Qin Yun smiled faintly. "Alright, if that's the case, I'll give you a chance to get familiar with me. In any case, I'll be staying at Xue Yue Studio in the future, so there will be plenty of opportunities ~ ~"
I grimaced. "Alright, I'll find a suitable family and marry you off. I won't have to worry ~"
Qin Yun chuckled. "That's not true. I don't even fancy most people!
No matter what, my looks are passable, and my family assets are at least tens of millions, if not a hundred million. I can't mistreat myself too much. "
I changed the topic. "Mistreat yourself like me."
Qin Yun smiled. "That's not the same. I like to be mistreated with you..."
After saying this, Qin Yun was silent for two seconds. Then she smiled and said, "In any case, that's it!"
And so, I ended the conversation with a confusing sentence. Qin Yun, Ling Yue, and Bing Cha went to grind levels while I continued to kill the elite mobs in the Bone Wilderness.
… …
Finally, at 9: 48 pm, I finished off the last Elite Wilderness Wanderer, and my experience bar rose to 89% of Lv 53. This leveling speed was too terrifying. Normal players would probably have to train hard for at least two days to gain that much experience!
Moreover, the amount of gold in my bag increased from less than a hundred to 6988. In ten hours, I had earned almost 7000 gold. This speed was probably unprecedented. Not only that, killing elite monsters for ten hours straight also gave me 24 pieces of Exiled One equipment. I now had a total of four full sets and four scattered pieces that I could sell for money as well!
At this time, the system suddenly rang —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have been in the Bone Wilderness for 600 minutes. You have been absorbing too much undead energy here, and a mysterious magic power has sent you out of the Bone Wilderness. Entry Qualifications Remaining: 2 times!
… …
I appeared outside the Door of Darkness and looked at the supplies in my bag. There weren't many red and blue potions left. In the past ten hours, I had traded almost an entire bag of potions for half a bag of equipment. It was definitely a good deal. The Exiled One was Silver-grade equipment, so forget four sets, even one set could be sold for ten times the money of these potions!
Moreover, most of my equipment had been damaged during the long battle. Thankfully, high-grade equipment had high durability. If I was still wearing a full set of Black Iron – grade equipment, it would have been worn out long ago.
My stomach was rumbling with hunger. I guessed that Ling Xue wasn't much better off without eating, so I used a return scroll and returned to Twilight City!
Whoosh!
There was a flash of light, and the surroundings were bustling. Countless players had set up stalls in the square, and the sound of people shouting their wares rose and fell. This place had become a financial center, and there was an endless stream of players passing through the square in search of what they needed.
I looked at my friend list and sent a message to Bing Cha: "Grinding outside?
Or in the city? "
Very quickly, Bing Cha sent me a message: "I'm buying potions at Twilight City. Ling Yue and Qin Yun's potions are pretty much used up, so they sent me back to carry them, wu wu wu..."
I couldn't help but smile. "Warriors have a heavy burden, so of course they sent you back. If it was Ling Yue and Zi Yue, they probably wouldn't even be able to carry 25% of your potions in one go!"
Bing Cha laughed and asked, "Then, Scholar, why are you looking for me?"
I said, "Come to the Appraisal Center, and I'll give you a sword!"
Bing Cha was delighted. "Okay!
I'll be there right away! "
I walked into the Appraisal Center, and a few minutes later, Bing Cha's beautiful figure entered. She smiled. "What kind of sword is it?
Scholar definitely isn't a Black Iron – grade weapon, right? "
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I usually toss Black Iron – grade items into shops. Come quickly, this sword has a lot of history!"
Bing Cha came to my side, and I traded the Silver-grade sword that Blood Drinker the World dropped to her — —
[Wind Cutter] (Silver-grade)
Attack: 210-315
Strength: + 18
Stamina: + 15
Passive: Increases user's Attack by 5%
Level Requirement: 45
… …
The decent Attack caused Bing Cha's mouth to drop open. She rubbed her eyes and smiled. "Such high Attack!
It's even higher than Ling Xue's Flowing Light Sword. Scholar, are you really going to give it to me? "
I nodded and smiled. "It's not like it's some rare treasure. Plus, Ling Xue's Flowing Light Sword's sub-stats are much better than this. Hurry up and accept it. Also, this sword has a lot of history!"
Iced Tea chuckled. After keeping the sword, he asked, "What is his background?"
I said, "I PK with Blood Drinker the World this afternoon. At the time, Blood Drinker the World died. This sword was dropped by him. Maybe he spent a lot of money to buy this sword. Haha, how delightful!"
Bing Cha couldn't help but smile. "Yes, it really is delightful!
But since I accepted such a valuable item, do you have any requests for me? "
I said in a bad mood, "Forget it, I don't have any requests. Even if I did, it wouldn't be an unreasonable request …"
Bing Cha smiled sweetly. "Then, I'll thank Scholar in advance. This little girl will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Okay, go level. I have to go offline to eat!"
"Okay!"
After Bing Cha switched to the Wind Cutter, she carried the potions and went to work as a transport worker.
I took out the Exiled One set and threw it on the counter in front of the appraiser, asking for an appraisal.
The appraiser glanced at it and said, "Appraisal fee, 1000 gold in total!"
I couldn't help but be shocked. Each Silver-grade equipment's appraisal fee was 200 gold. It was one thing to have a high level requirement, but the other thing was that the equipment's stats must be pretty good!
And so, I happily took out 1000 gold. In the next moment, the five pieces of equipment flashed and their stats appeared in front of me!
