I placed the rabbit's path in my inventory and eagerly examined the mask of DooDoo Bunny, flipping it back and forth. Its agility and speed enhancement were truly remarkable. I estimated that my movement and attack speed were now comparable to that of a level 30 assassin. Overjoyed, I concealed the mask's red glow and donned it.
"Oh! Brother, that's a stunning bunny mask. May I have a look?"
"Rabbit bro, you're so unique. I want to marry you."
"Brother, where did you get that mask? I want to get one for my wife."
"Handsome guy, I have been waiting for you to be my husband for 20 years."
"Ugh, a crossdresser. Why is a grown man wearing a bunny mask?"
Amid the amazed comments of some players, I quickly pushed through the crowd and ran toward the northwest corner of the village. I nearly got blocked by a few dinosaurs, realizing that I needed to act more discreetly when in the city.
As soon as I arrived at the village gate, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't sorted out the equipment in my backpack yet.
Dazed and confused, the dinosaurs had frightened me so much that I had almost forgotten my purpose. I removed my mask and ran toward the pharmacy. That black bear sounded like a tough opponent, so I needed to be fully prepared.
What the heck? The Dragon Flight Group is so shady. Little Red and Little Blue are still affordable at 50 silver coins per bottle, but the other items are just too expensive:
Medium Health Potion: restores 50 health points per second for 10 seconds, pharmacy price is 2 gold coins.
Medium Mana Potion: restores 50 mana points per second for 10 seconds, pharmacy price is 2 gold coins.
Teleport Scroll: instantly teleports the player to the city when not in combat, pharmacy price is 5 gold coins.
I flipped through my pockets and found 15 gold coins. What can I do with this? I had no choice but to reluctantly buy a teleport scroll. I had to pass on the Medium Health Potions for now. With 20 bottles of Small Red and 18 bottles of Small Blue in my hands, I should have enough. It seemed that although the prices were high, there was no difficulty for beginners to start and self-reliance was not a problem.
I arrived at the blacksmith's weapon shop and found that the prices of level 5 equipment were at least 3 gold coins, while the shop only gave players 1 gold coin for recycling their equipment. This was still quite shady.
Due to the large price difference, players can only profit by selling equipment. I understand this concept. Originally, I was planning on selling all of my level 5 equipment in the store, but now I have changed my mind.
As a level 5 player, I set up shop in a heavily trafficked area, and loudly proclaimed, "I am selling level 5 equipment at a cheap price! I have blue equipment for 2 gold coins, and normal equipment for 1.5 gold coins. Supplies are limited, so first come, first served!"
Currently, players are generally at level 5, the time when level 5 equipment is in high demand. Furthermore, completing the blacksmith and pharmacist quests will earn 2 gold coins. Therefore, my backpack was quickly cleared out by eager buyers.
Although the drop rate in the novice village is relatively easy, the current situation is that all players have gathered together, and there are fewer monsters but more players. Therefore, obtaining equipment is not easy. Many players cannot obtain level 5 equipment at level 5. However, I am lucky enough to have the advantage of being able to easily obtain equipment and having an advantage in monster-hunting due to leveling up faster than others.
It is quite difficult for me, as I know my own situation. I cannot display all of my equipment at once, as it will surely attract the attention of other players. This time playing "King of Glory", I plan to keep a low profile and not show off like I did before. Fame can be burdensome at times.
After spending some time selling off the equipment in my backpack, in a novice village with tens of thousands of people, no one noticed the 30 or so items I sold.
Hehe, after selling all of my equipment, I had my first successful transaction, and now had over 70 gold coins in my pocket. This could be considered a small amount of capital.
Looking back, I used 20 gold coins to buy 10 bottles of red potions at the pharmacy. One should not skimp on the cost of buying potions, as they are essential for maintaining one's reputation.
Now that I am ready, I look at my current equipment and strength, and I am invincible in the novice village. I begin to fantasize again.
My current goals are twofold: one is to kill the black bear and complete the village elder's only hidden task, and the other is to quickly reach level 10 and change jobs. Wasting time on low-level monsters in the novice village is not a wise move.
I run to the area with fewer people at the village entrance, wearing the Ghost Artifact DooDoo Rabbit mask. I stretch my hands and feet, and thanks to the DooDoo Rabbit mask's bonus, my movement speed is 7, and my attack speed is 4. After trying a few small monsters, my attack speed and reaction time are very sensitive. This feeling is almost like real-life fighting. "Black bear, I'm coming for you!" I am now filled with confidence.
However, just as I was preparing for a big battle, the system issued a prompt:
"Ding dong, Stone City, you have been in the game for 9 hours. Please take a break and protect your physical health. If you don't log off for 10 consecutive hours, the system will automatically log you out."
Dizzy, I didn't realize that I had been playing for 9 hours. The online game "King" is so realistic and excellent that I was addicted to it for a while and forgot about the time. It wasn't until the system reminded me that I felt hungry.
Alright, let's quit and take a break to eat. Regardless, good sleep habits are the guarantee of success.
What should I eat? I don't have a preference since I'm alone.
I'm living with my little sister now. As a big man, I naturally don't cook. My little sister volunteered to cook for me, but after trying her cooking, I immediately hired a housekeeper, Aunt Zhang, to cook and clean for us.
After my little sister went on a trip, Aunt Zhang took a month-long vacation to go back to her hometown. During this time, I was alone at home and had to cook for myself.
If I have to cook, I'll cook. I'll just make some instant noodles. Lazy people have their own ways. I'll eat whatever is convenient and easy, regardless of taste.
My little sister went on a trip, leaving me alone at home without this little devil disturbing me. It's quite peaceful and comfortable, but the empty room with just me is a bit lonely.
I don't know what Li Tong is doing or when she will return to school, so I called her.
Li Tong and I were classmates in university, and we were both in our senior year preparing for graduate school. Now it's summer vacation, and she went home.
"Hi! Lin Feng, are you having a meal?"
Li Tong's stunning face appeared on the video communication phone. She smiled at me, and her simple and natural hair fluttered in the wind. Her curved eyebrows and bright eyes were refreshing, and her radiant skin was crystal clear. Her beautiful and elegant face made me intoxicated.
Her gentle smile was like the sun in spring, making people feel warm and full of affection without any worries.
Li Tong is so outstanding, especially the gentle smile on her exquisite face, which gives people a comfortable and friendly feeling. Among all the girls I've met, even the stunning beauties like Li Tong have never had such a characteristic.
Li Tong's beauty could have brought deep shock to people and made them feel unattainable, but because of her gentle and elegant smile, Li Tong makes people overlook her beauty and shock, forget their troubles, and generate a sense of intimacy.
A gentle and warm smile is Li Tong's characteristic, as bright as the spring, like a blooming lily, fragrant and charming.
"Emmm.."
"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me? Why haven't you called me in so long?" Li Tong pouted her lips with a smile, questioning someone with a hint of grievance.
"Nothing's wrong. I just miss you, so I called you. When are you going back to school?"
"Hmph, you stinky older brother, you only remember beautiful women and don't care about your little sister." A stunningly exquisite face squeezed into the frame of the video call, exuding liveliness and appearing on the screen of the mobile phone.
Her features were exquisitely delicate, as if chiseled by the gods themselves, with no flaws. Her elegant nose and cherry lips, curved eyebrows and willow-leaf shaped eyes matched with her black pupils, making her look beautiful and clever. Her black hair was tied up in a ponytail, adding a touch of youth and vitality.
Wait, why is she here with Li Tong?
The lively little girl with the exquisite and delicate face was my little sister, Lin Yuxin, who often made me feel helpless with her mischievousness.
I was extremely surprised, even shocked, to see two beautiful faces appear on my video call, creating an unparalleled image.
One was gentle, warm, and elegant, with a hint of reproach and grievance, while the other was youthful and playful, with a sense of pride and energy. Although I was very familiar with both beauties, the scene before me still shocked me greatly.
"Haha, stinky older brother, you're wide-eyed now, huh? You didn't accompany me on the trip and missed the opportunity to get intimate with a beautiful woman. You should regret it and feel disappointed. You deserve to be unlucky." My little sister proudly winked at me, mercilessly hitting the man who didn't accompany her on the trip.
However, her words had no effect, as the stunning beauty exuded by the two faces had already caused a short circuit in someone's brain. Especially when my little sister's face rubbed against Li Tong's beautiful face, it revealed an infinite allure that made someone envious.
"Ah! Sister Tong, look quickly, stinky older brother not only has big eyes but also a big mouth, drooling out."
What, drooling? How could my image be ruined like this? Although I lost my composure a little, I couldn't let myself be so embarrassed. Let's quickly adjust the mood to avoid losing the glorious image.
"What are you talking about? Weren't you traveling with your classmates? How did you end up with Sister Tong?"
"My trip with my classmates ended three days ago. Since you didn't accompany me to play, and I had nothing to do back home, I came to Sister Tong's place to play. Sister Tong is so nice, she took me to visit Yuhuatai."
After my little sister finished speaking, she turned her head and hugged Li Tong's neck, making people envious.
"Little sister, you're too heartless. You should have told me earlier, and I would have gone with you."
"Stinky older brother, you're so hypocritical. How can you say that? Why don't you invite Sister Tong to go out with us? Do you want Sister Tong to beg you shamelessly? I despise you, stinky older brother."
"... " My little sister's words left me speechless.
"I couldn't think of anything to do, so when little sister came over while I was bored at home, we went out to play. little sister and I only played for two days, and she's leaving in another two days. Otherwise, I would have called you to come over." As usual, Li Tong helped me out and appeared when I needed her the most.
"Tong Jie is just too kind-hearted. That rotten elder brother not only didn't accompany me, but also didn't accompany you. He needs to be taught a lesson."
"Li Tong, call me before you go back to school, and I'll pick you up at the airport."
little sister's attack was too fierce today, and I had no words to refute her blame. Since that's the case, let's ignore her existence and pretend not to have heard anything.
"Well, maybe I'll have to stay at home for a few more days. I'll call you when the time comes."
"Okay." Li Tong's smile was enchanting.
"little sister, did you have fun playing? If there's a chance next time, I will definitely accompany you. Did you bring any gifts?"
"No, I won't buy you any gifts. But we have a lot of stunning photos of two beautiful ladies. It depends on whether someone has the insight and luck to appreciate them." little sister proudly lifted the camera in her hand.
"little sister, big brother was wrong. When I come back, I'll give you a massage." I quickly tried to please little sister, and Li Tong's travel photos must be appreciated.
"No gifts, what a pity. But it doesn't matter. Remember to take more photos. When you come back, I'll enjoy the beauty of the two ladies." A certain man has started to fantasize.
"Hehe, look at the rotten elder brother's lecherous look. Do you know, when we went to a few scenic spots, they wanted Tong Jie to be the image ambassador of the scenic spot, and a few people even invited her to shoot ads."
"That's not true. Don't listen to little sister's nonsense." Li Tong quickly interrupted little sister.
"Is that so?" Clearly, I was full of doubts about Li Tong's answer.
Li Tong's peerless beauty and the killing power of her gentle smile are absolutely formidable. She definitely has the ability. I believe little sister.
"A scenic spot contacted me, but I didn't agree." Li Tong saw that I believed little sister and immediately explained. However, a faint blush rose on Li Tong's jade face, revealing infinite shyness.
"Okay, we need to get going. We're going to the Rain Flower Terrace by cable car. Talk to you later." little sister mercilessly hung up the phone.
Li Tong, I'm really sorry. I owe you too much. A feeling of happiness and remorse filled my heart.
"Li Tong!" I silently murmured in my heart. Maybe I should let go of my burdens.
