That's 10 silver coins! not copper coins! He had to remind himself that his monthly income as a miner was only 20 copper coins, and one silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins!
That means he has earned nearly 4 years' worth of income!
He came back to his senses and looked at the young man again; this time he noticed his robe, which was made with actual silver threads!
"Yeah, you can take it all"
The young man smiled and took all the buns in exchange for three silver coins.
Ron saw the young man leave and immediately collected all his things; he didn't want to attract too much attention, and as some of the peddlers saw how he earned so much money in a short time, there was a hint of jealousy in their eyes. Ron decided to leave, as the silver he earned should be more than enough for his travel.
Ron arrived in a lonely area to store his goods back into the storage, and just as he was about to do so, his sharp ears picked up some noise. It was the sound of the footsteps of three—no, four—adults slowly walking towards him from his back.
"Drop everything you have, right now!"
Ron looked around and saw the four thieves, who were each holding a knife.
Do you think I'm still a weakling and should listen to whatever bull you're saying?
Ron dropped his items to the ground, which made the thieves think that he was scared.
"Good, take out all your money as well, and then we will let you in."
Ron punched the closest thief in front of him, and he flew like a ball and collided with a trash can.
They were in a daze and looked at their boss, who was lying by the trash can, unconscious. No one made any noise, afraid that Ron would make his next move on them.
Without waiting, Ron attacked all the other three at the same time. He is no longer a mortal but a cultivator after entering the body refinement realm. The difference between their strengths is something they can no longer fathom.
Seconds later, all the thieves were lying all over the alley, unconscious. Ron stored all his goods and left the area; this time he changed his clothes as well, so that others couldn't recognize him.
An hour later, a middle-aged woman saw four men lying in a dark alley, buck naked. She felt horrified and informed the enforcers.
That was Ron's punishment for attempting to rob him.
Unknown to him, Ron's character was slowly changing as he progressed.
Ron temporarily hired a horse and wagon for 5 copper. During the journey, he checked his inventory and took out a crystal. It was the crystal he received from system, as part of the mission. He was still wondering how to complete the task. The description was quite simple, which was to place this crystal in blue realm, but it didn't give any information on where or how it needs to be placed.
"System, what do I need to do in order to complete this task? Do I randomly place it somewhere?"
Responding to the host, you have to break the crystal, then wait for the node to integrate with blue realm in order to complete this task. There is no restriction on where or when you break the crystal, as long as you are in the blue realm.
Ron understood the gist of it, but held back from breaking the crystal right away. He doesn't know how long the integration would take; if it's too quick, then his journey might end without him earning any points!
He took a deep breath and checked his cultivation level. In order to cultivate, a person needs to have cultivation techniques, which will allow him to gather the spiritual energy from the nature and absorb it. As he doesn't have a cultivation technique right now, he has to rely on system points, and there's no other way.
After he reached the port, Ron decided to take some rest before proceeding on a ship journey. The distance between the Xia County and the Avalon Kingdom is roughly 50 kilometers, but unlike Earth, the blue realm does not have powered engines to drive their ships or boats. So it will take quite some time, and it is getting dark as well.
Ron found an inn that was not too occupied and entered it.
"Welcome! Would you like to have a room or just dinner?"
A young girl in an apron invited him into the inn. When Ron noticed the prices, he was a little bit shocked. The price per night is over 50 copper coins—that's half a silver!
Ron was about to take a step back, and a glint flashed in the girl's eyes.
"Sir, you might think that we are charging too much, but if you look around, you'll find that most of the other inns charge way more! Also, if you stay in our inn, not only will you get to try the best dishes in this port, but we can also provide you with any information you want!"
Looking at the sparkly eyes of the young girl, Ron sighed and proceeded into the inn. The girl jumped happily and assisted Ron to his room.
"Do you know about the Zhang sect's outer disciple selection?"
"You have asked the right person, sir! Hehe… The outer disciple selection is going to be held in 10 days from now. If you want to get there on time, it would be better for you to leave as soon as possible. Even my brother is participating in the selection, so he already left a few days ago. In case you need a ship to board, I know someone who drives to the other port; if you want, I can refer you to him tomorrow. How does that sound?"
