The reason why Su Ce had such an idea was that the system's explanation of the Cape of Storms quest had given him some inspiration.
If someone could pass through the Cape of Storms in a special way, they would obtain an extremely high score.
Moreover, not fighting monsters the entire time could be considered a different kind of way to clear the quest. Perhaps he could obtain special achievements.
Just as Su Ce was thinking with his eyes closed, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He picked it up subconsciously, and a gentle female voice immediately came from the phone.
"Honorable Professional, the item you entrusted to Carrie Auction House has been auctioned.
"The auction price is 136,000 dollars. The buyer is Professional Zhang Zhiling. According to our custom, 3% will be deducted for the service fee. The final amount transferred to you is 131,900 dollars. The specific auction information has been sent to you. Please check it."
Hearing what the staff said on the other end, Su Ce was a little surprised.
After thanking her and hanging up, he immediately saw the notification of the transfer and Carrie Auction House's record of the entire auction.
Zhang Zhiling… I didn't expect him to buy that skill book.
With a chuckle, Su Ce looked at his savings. After the transfer just now, his savings had exceeded the 200,000 dollars mark.
In just two days, he had gone from a novice who couldn't even afford equipment to a small capitalist with 200,000 dollars in savings. Such a change made Su Ce emotional.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately sent a message to his sister to inform her that he was safe. At the same time, he transferred 50,000 dollars into her account.
Although 50,000 dollars was not a lot, it was enough to make his sister's daily life easier.
At the same time, he felt much more at ease.
Before entering the dungeon, I'll take a look at my current stats. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Resting his head on his arm, Su Ce immediately opened his character window and checked it carefully.

Looking at the detailed character window in front of him, Su Ce was very satisfied. Not bad. At least all my attributes have broken through twenty.
His current physique was already comparable to a Level 15 Professional's, and his Constitution attribute had reached an astonishing 57.
One had to know that before becoming Rank 1, even a Warrior usually wouldn't have more than 30 Constitution.
Even among Level 15 Warriors, Su Ce's Constitution of 57 was quite explosive.
After making full preparations, Su Ce closed his eyes and continued to rest.
About half an hour later, the taxi finally brought him to Ever Peace Bay.
He paid and got out of the taxi. As soon as he approached the bay, he smelled the salty sea breeze.
The temperature here was higher than in other places. And because of the constant sea breeze, the surrounding vegetation was denser.
From afar, Su Ce saw many buildings close to the sea. At the same time, he also found some large fishing boats by the coast.
He walked alone, looking out of place among the small groups around him.
Before entering the bay, Su Ce passed through a recreational square.
Here, many Professionals were forming parties and looking for partners to transport goods to the other side of the sea, Broea Island.
Broea is a small country with only about a million registered residents.
The scenery there was pleasant, and the resources were rich.
But due to the size of the country, the food and daily necessities there were all dependent on imports.
And the Cape of Storms was the shortest route between the two countries.
Many Professionals transported goods to Broea Island to earn the price difference.
Numerous pieces of equipment or objects that cost only about 1,000 dollars here were worth several times more when they reached Broea Island.
Although the distance between the two countries was very long and dangerous, in the face of several times the benefits, many Professionals were willing to take risks and take a boat to Broea Island.
After glancing at the people seeking to form parties, Su Ce found that the lowest level among them was Level 15, and there were even Level 20 experts.
Even Level 20 Professionals were willing to stay here. Clearly, the profits were very high.
Arriving at a headland of the bay, Su Ce looked at the fishing boats near the sea and the fishermen preparing for a long voyage. He planned to rent a reliable-looking boat to complete the quest.
However, most of the fishing boats in front of him had been in disrepair for a long time. Only wooden planks and other poor techniques had been used to repair the hulls. Clearly, most of these boats were not reliable.
After choosing for a while, Su Ce quickly set his sights on a fishing boat the size of a yacht by the sea.
The surface of the fishing boat was very new. There were not many traces of barnacles or shipworms. It was obviously well-maintained.
The boat was slender and narrow, and there was not much room for movement inside. But there was a large engine installed in the middle and back of the ship. It didn't seem to be specially used for fishing.
Out of curiosity, Su Ce went over to take a look.
It wasn't until he walked onto the boat that he saw a girl carefully wiping the deck at the stern of the strange-shaped boat.
From the girl's side profile, she should only be about 20 years old.
She was wearing a simple and loose casual outfit and a hat woven with bamboo strips on her head.
The girl's facial features were pronounced and exquisite, and her skin was tan from years of exposure to the sun. She had a head of black hair tied up in a bun, and both sides of her cheeks were slightly red from years of erosion from the sea breeze.
But this was nothing compared to the beauty of the girl.
She was wiping the deck earnestly. Under the high temperature, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her forehead. It seemed she was working very hard.
When she saw someone approaching, she stood up curiously.
"Can I take your boat?" Su Ce asked tentatively.
The narrow boat dispensed with many extraneous functions and amenities.
Only the most basic shelter and navigational functions had been retained.
And this was what Su Ce valued. Lightweight and a high-powered engine meant that the boat could sail at a relatively high speed.
This could imperceptibly reduce the time he needed to pass through the Cape of Storms, and it could be considered as reducing the difficulty.
