Chapter 3: 3
"Is the hunting party so busy?"
John King shook his head.
No matter what he does, Natalie Green must have her own sense of judgment, and it's not his place to remind her.
Afterward, John King equipped the "Blood Fang Longbow."
Physical Attack: 30→61
Attack Speed: 1.76→2.37
The above two properties have changed.
"Next, go directly to the trading area," John King thought to himself.
The trading area of Southbright City is not far from the West District. He walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at his destination.
He mainly plans to buy skill books and healing potions today.
As for equipment, John King doesn't plan to buy it.
The attributes of Tier 1 and Tier D equipment are too low. Buying this kind of equipment is a waste of money.
Tier C equipment cannot be brought into the game.
He was already carrying 3 items that exceeded rank D.
Afterward, John King found a pharmacy and bought 100 bottles of primary healing potions.
[Primary Blood Recovery Potion]
Quality: D
Effect: After taking it, restore 10 HP per second for 5 seconds, which cannot be stacked.
Requirements: Level 1 available
Quantity: 100
[Primary Mana Restoration Potion]
Quality: D
...
He couldn't use advanced potions yet, so he could only buy primary ones.
John King also purchased 20 bottles of detoxification and purification potions for special situations.
A total of 6000 coins were spent.
Medicines are still cheap.
Because professionals with the sub-profession of "junior pharmacist" can make them.
However, the skill books are different and can only be obtained from the copy world, resulting in a very high price.
John King found a shop.
"Boss, do you have the initial skill book for archers?" he asked the boss behind the counter.
The middle-aged boss cheerfully guided him: "Yes, it's on the shelf in the fourth row behind you."
Hearing this, John King turned around and walked over.
[Iron Arrow Manufacturing · Tier D]
Requirement Level: 1
Price: 5000 denominations
[Precision Shooting·D Tier]
Requirement Level: 1
Price: 8000 denominations
[Jumbo Shot · Tier C]
Requirement Level: 5
Price: 30,000 denomination coins
...
The price of skill books is ten or even more times higher than the price of equipment of the same quality.
John King glanced over.
He found that on the shelf, the highest quality archer skills were only C rank.
After thinking for a while, he entered 13,000 denomination coins on the screen and purchased [Iron Arrow Manufacturing] and [Precision Shooting].
These are essential skills for archers.
John King acquired two skill books.
[Ding, you learned the skill: Iron Arrow Manufacturing LV1]
[Ding...]
...
[Iron Arrow Manufacturing · Tier D]
Level: 1 (0/100 proficiency)
Effect: Consumes 1 mana to create a normal arrow with an iron arrow.
Cooldown: 1 second
[Precision Shooting·D Tier]
Level: 1 (0/100 proficiency)
Effect: Consume 5 mana, accuracy +5, launch 1 arrow to cause [10+physical attack x110%] physical damage to the enemy.
Cooldown: 3 seconds
"After the skills are learned, the next step is to test the effect of talent. Let's start with the skills of this occupation."
John King purchased 1 copy of [Jumbo Shot].
The skill book is stored in the professional backpack.
Immediately, he opened the talent panel and backpack panel, which only he could see.
No one else can see his panel.
John King let [Arrows Carry the Path] swallow the C-tier skill book.
[Ding, your archery gains effect 1: Physical arrow damage +15.]
Seeing the system prompt, John King's eyes flashed slightly.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to buy the second [Jumbo Shot].
[Ding, your archery gains effect 1: Physical arrow damage +30.]
"Hey! Is there no upper limit on damage stacking?"
John King took a deep breath.
According to the current situation, as long as the skill book is enough, effect 1 can be infinitely enhanced!
At this moment, he confirmed one thing.
The quality of [Arrow Carrying the Way] is definitely higher than the Immortal Grade!
However, this talent is also expensive.
John King felt full of determination: "With such a powerful talent, I have to work hard to make money."
He checked his account.
There were 150,000 denomination coins left.
He decided to take one last test.
John King looked back at the boss and asked, "Boss, do you have a B-level skill book?"
"There is no B-level skill book for archers, but there is still one for the assassin profession," the boss replied, looking up.
"Alright."
John King nodded.
Then, he found the shelf for the assassin profession.
[Bone Shattering Stab · Tier B]
Requirement Level: 10
Price: 120,000 denomination coins
...
John King bought the skill book and gave it to the talent to swallow.
[Ding, your archery gains effect 2: After shooting, the critical strike rate is +2%, the upper limit is 20%, and the bonus is cleared after the battle.]
He left the store contentedly.
"Business is really good today!"
Watching his back, the middle-aged boss grinned and said, "The poison resistance skill books are all covered by the Northern Region Guild, and this guy has also made me a fortune. Let's go out tonight, hehe~~~"
He couldn't help but let out a laugh that only men understand.
...
After leaving the skill store, John King bought 100 bottles of mana restoration potion, 500 iron arrows, and some special items that can be used in the novice world.
There were only more than 20,000 denomination coins left.
Then, he returned home.
Before entering the dungeon world, John King downloaded the online information about the "Silver Moon World Beginner Area" to the "Zhutian" system for easy access.
Everything was ready.
"It's time to go."
John King took out the teleportation scroll.
[Silver Moon World Teleportation Scroll]
Type: Novice · faction battle
Quality: D
Level: 1~10
Activity area: Silvermoon City and the area of the Lizard Tribe.
Mode: Solo/Team/Random Match
Although the Silvermoon world is very large, the novice teleportation scroll will limit the activity area of professionals.
At the same time, the will of the world will interfere with the higher adventurers of the native group, preventing them from entering the quest area.
John King: "Single-player mode."
[Ding! Please choose your faction: Silvermoon City/Lizard Tribe.]
[Hint: If you choose an alien camp, the reputation of both camps will be -100 points.]
"Silver Moon City."
John King made his choice.
The scenery around him was changing rapidly, and he found himself in a forest with old trees growing nearby.
[Hint: You have entered the Silver Moon World, ID: Y035622.]
[Current Location: Silvermoon City - Kaijiao Forest]
[Ding! Main quest has been opened]
[Main quest 1: Join Silvermoon City. Requirements: Reach level 5 and collect 100 Lizardman Eyeballs. Time limit: 3 days.]
Judging from the numbers, there are at least 60,000 professionals in the novice area of the Silver Moon World.
Very competitive.
John King looked at the map. He was located in the east of Kaijiao Forest, 20 kilometers away from the nearest village.
"My luck is pretty good."
"If I want to verify the authenticity of the dream, there is an opportunity nearby!"
John King's eyes focused on one spot on the map.
15 kilometers away, there is a small lizardman outpost.
There's a blue-eyed lizardman there.
Killing it will get him quest items.
This item is related to the B-level hidden mission.
If he really got the items, it would mean that the dreams in his mind were all real!
