In the previous two system rewards, 3000 gold coins were awarded. After using the Doubling Pill, his gold coins instantly doubled to 6000!
Now he was definitely the wealthiest person in the game, so filthy rich.
Why not use the last Doubling Pill on his level or continue to upgrade his skills? First, he was short of money, and right now, the value of gold coins was very high, at least several times when converted into dragon dollars, which would be equivalent to a year’s earning by collecting wastes. Second, he was now at level 3 and was already ahead of many players. Besides, levels could not be used as food. The skills should be strong enough after upgrading to the Divine Level. After three years of hardships, of course he valued money much more, so he chose to double the gold coins.
Jiang Ming got rid of the female players who thought of him as a rich playboy and glanced at the dense crowd in the monster area. He shook his head and gave up the idea of fighting monsters, then went around in a circle and began to wander around the Novice Village.
According to the game guide, players can receive normal tasks in the Novice Village, and with good luck, one can even receive hidden tasks. That was why he turned back to the village to receive the tasks. After receiving tasks, he would then go to fight monsters. Doing so, he would be able to simultaneously complete tasks and fight monsters, which will save a lot of time.
First, he went to the pharmacy shop. After walking into the pharmacy, he found that it was empty, with not a single player present.
He thought about it for a while and understood. Since the game just started the testing phase, the players’ inventories contained only 10 bronze coins given by the system. At most, these could buy the Steamed Bun with the weakest HP regeneration. They would not be able to afford any medicines, so no one patronized the pharmacy.
Although no one patronized the pharmacy, the shop owner seemed very busy. Standing behind the counter, he muttered to a medicine cauldron, “Sigh, the Yellow Whisker Grass has run out again. Now there are suddenly so many monsters outside. How can I go out to pick up herbs with my old body?”
“Sir, do you need help?”
Hearing the shop owner’s words, as a veteran in games, Jiang Ming’s eyes brightened. He walked forward and said respectfully to the pharmacy owner.
The pharmacy owner was also very excited when he heard the voice behind him, and he turned his head and said to Jiang Ming, “Warrior, can you go to the Nanling Mountain and help me collect 10 Yellow Whisker Grasses?”
Ding~ The system notification: Would you like to accept the ‘Pharmacy owner’s request’ task?
“Yes.”
After receiving the task, the pharmacy owner smiled and said to Jiang Ming, “Warrior, I think you haven’t learnt how to pick up herbs. Since you’re willing to help, I will teach you this technique.”
Ding~ System notification: Congratulations on learning the ‘Basic Collection Technique’.
After learning the collection technique, Jiang Ming went to other shops and received three more tasks.
They are: ‘Butcher’s request’, ‘Blacksmith’s request’ and ‘Tailor shop owner’s request’.
And he also learned the ‘segmentation technique’, ‘skinning technique’ and ‘mining technique’.
In order to speed up the completion of the tasks, he spent 1 gold and 4 silvers to purchase 10 sets of small healing potions worth 10 silvers per set and a set of wood equipment.
The currency ratio in “Divine Land” was: 1 gold = 100 silver = 10,000 bronze, and each set of medicines contained 20 bottles.
The equipment was divided into twelve ranks, namely: wood equipment, iron equipment, bronze equipment, silver equipment, gold equipment, dark gold equipment, spiritual equipment, immortal equipment, divine equipment, divine emperor equipment, divine vernerate equipment and saint equipment.
Mahogany Wood Sword: Attack +1
Cotton clothes: Defense +1
Cotton pants: Defense +1
Straw shoes: Movement speed +0.01
Although the attributes of these four pieces of equipment were rubbish, the prices were very high. Each piece required 1 silver coin. As for other equipment with higher attributes, his level was too low to use them at all, so he could only buy the ones that could be used. Although the attributes were poor, it was better than nothing.
After he was fully armed, Jiang Ming did not immediately leave the Novice Village, but walked towards the warehouse.
He still had nearly 6,000 gold coins with him. In case he got killed outside, 10% of the gold coins will drop. Now the game had just started, and the value of the gold coins was very high. 10% meant 600 gold coins, which would be equivalent to thousands of dragon dollars, or one or two months of his income. To lose them just like that, he would probably die out of regret.
Arriving at the warehouse, he first activated it and then deposited all the gold coins in his inventory. After that, he walked out of Novice Village.
Just outside the Novice Village, he looked at the level 1 monster area that was overcrowded with people and shook his head helplessly. He squeezed through the players who were struggling hard to kill the monsters, and walked towards the level 2 monster area.
What he didn’t expect was that the level 2 wild monster area also had more players than monsters, so he continued to walk towards the depths of the wild monster area.
By the time he came to the level 4 fire frog monster area, the surrounding players had gradually disappeared.
After Jiang Ming came to the level 4 monster area, he did not go directly to fight the monsters. Instead, he walked to a nearby tree, opened the descriptions of the two skills that he had previously promoted to the divine level and started looking at the attributes.
Divine-level fusion: Fusing any items below the divine-level, with a success rate of 50%, a 10% chance of producing a critical strike, and it consumes 20 stamina each time.
Divine-level deconstruction technique: Deconstructing any items below the divine-level (cannot deconstruct living creatures), with a 10% chance of deconstructing the enemy’s equipment, and a 1% chance of deconstructing into mysterious fruits. Each time it consumes 20 stamina.
“The success rate of fusion has increased after reaching divine level. 10% of the synthesized items produce critical strikes. After the deconstruction technique is upgraded to divine level, even the enemy’s equipment can be deconstructed. The two skills complement each other, which is too insane!”
Jiang Ming looked at the two divine-level skills, and his mouth watered.
Think about it. The raw materials deconstructed by the divine-level deconstruction technique could then be fused with the divine-level fusion to produce other items. If the fused items were not satisfactory, they could be deconstructed again and then merged. If the chance of a critical strike was triggered, the success rate would be doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. If there were no limits of stamina loss, these two skills were simply insane without constraint.
“What is the mysterious fruit? It wasn’t mentioned in the early-stage basic game guide. Is it a prop that appears in the later stage?” Jiang Ming looked at the descriptions of the divine-level deconstruction technique and wondered.
“Let’s try it, I hope there is a chance for obtaining a mysterious fruit.”
As he said this, Jiang Ming used the deconstruction technique on the small healing potion in the inventory.
Ding~ System notification: Congratulations on getting a ‘Yellow Whisker Grass’.
“Haha, I didn’t expect the item deconstructed from the small healing potion to be my mission item.” Jiang Ming was surprised when he saw the deconstructed yellow whisker grass, and then smiled.
“Let’s try fusion.”
With his face full of joy, he took out 5 small bottles of healing potions and threw them into the furnace, and used the ‘fusion’ skill.
Ding~ The system notification: The fusion is successful, congratulations on getting a bottle of “medium healing potion”.
He glanced at the medium healing potion in the inventory, and his eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He secretly thought, ‘A set of small healing potions costs 10 silver, and a set of medium healing potions is worth 1 gold, which means the price of a single medium healing potion is worth the price of 10 small healing potions. If I never fail when fusing each five small healing potions into a medium healing potion, and then sell them, it will be absolutely profitable.
But thinking of the 50% success rate of fusion and stamina loss, Jiang Ming shook his head and gave up this way of making money.
He had only 80 points of stamina currently, and he had already deconstructed twice without generating the mysterious fruit, so he had to give it up and clicked on his upgraded attributes to check it out.
After the players were upgraded, in addition to the 1 attribute point automatically added by the system, the players would also be given 5 attribute points to be freely assigned.
“My job class is Special Profession. Taoist priests can’t get married so I won’t choose that. The formation mage is a type of mage so I won’t select that. I’ll choose mechanist then. The mechanist pays attention to movement speed, APM, and load. In addition, deconstruction and fusion techniques require stamina. So I’ll allocate 2 points agility, 2 points endurance and 1 point strength.”
Saying this, he set the method of free attribute points allocation, and then set it to automatic allocation, then the 15 free attribute points given from levelling up were added to the three attributes according to his setting.
After allocating the free attribute points, he took a look at his current level 3 attributes, with 160 HP, 22-23 physical attack, and 8.5 defense. In general, he was already a big step ahead of all players.
Looking at his attributes, he nodded with satisfaction, then threw an investigation technique at a half-meter tall toad emitting flames.
Fire Frog: Level 4 ordinary monster
HP: 200
Attack: 20-24, Defense: 8, Skill: None
Description: When attacking, there is a certain chance that it will cause a burning effect, causing 3 points of HP to be loss per second for 10 seconds.
“Except for the burning effect which is a bit of a nuisance, other attributes are no big deal. There are a lot of monsters here, and I can also complete the quest given by the tailor shop owner. Let’s get started.”
Saying this, he took out the mahogany sword and rushed towards the fire frog.
