"Grandpa Appraiser, can you make it a bit cheaper? Why is it so expensive?"
Oh my, it's too outrageous, I almost cursed.
"I've already given you a discount by charging only 50,000 gold coins. If it were someone else, it would cost at least 80,000 gold coins."
Is that so? I doubt it, but it's already good that Grandpa Appraiser responded to me this time when I tried to negotiate with him. It's better than him ignoring me like last time.
"It's too expensive, so let's not appraise the Purple Radiance Stone for now. Grandpa Appraiser, could you take a look at this equipment instead?"
"Oh, there's still equipment? Let me see it."
"An artifact! An artifact has actually appeared! Stone City, is this artifact yours?"
What kind of question is that? Of course, it's mine.
"Yes, it's mine. It was difficult to obtain. Grandpa, can you appraise it?"
"What kind of question is that? Of course, there's no problem. It's just a low-level artifact. It'll only cost 3,000 gold coins to appraise."
It's really expensive. I checked my pocket and found 6,782 gold coins. I still need to save some coins to buy medicine. I'll postpone appraising the level 30 equipment for now and wait until I reach level 30.
"Grandpa, I want to appraise the Skeleton Wand, Dark Ghost Cloak, and Diamond Artifact. I don't have enough gold coins for the other items."
I handed over the gold coins to the appraiser.
"Alright, here you go. They're all pretty good."
A burst of light flickered in the hands of the appraiser, revealing the true appearance of the three equipment pieces.
Let's hurry and see the results with joy.
Diamond Giant Shield: A low-level artifact that requires 100 strength and a level 30 knight. Diamond Giant Shield was created by a first-generation master using diamond sutra and black cloud dragon iron.
Defense: 500, block success rate: 35%. Additional strength: 50, constitution: 50, and five-element resistance: 50%.
Attached skills:
Diamond Body Protection: Active skill for all, increases the defense of the user and teammates, defense increases by 300, magic damage reduced by 30%, life recovery speed increased by 10, duration of 5 minutes.
Diamond Shield Wall: Active skill for all, Diamond Giant Shield rapidly expands to ten times its size, forming a light curtain that surrounds the user's surroundings within two meters. Under the protection of the Diamond Shield Wall, players receive a reduction of more than 70% of damage, duration of one minute, can only be used three times a day. This is the power of an artifact, even though it's a low-level one, it speaks entirely through its strength. Although the basic attributes are not that good, these two skills are invincible. If I, as a crazy knight, use them, I will be an invincible cockroach.
Feeling dejected, why does it have to be level 30 to use, extremely frustrating.
Cloak of Dark Ghost Shadow: Ghost Artifact, requirement, level 20. A cloak once worn by the ghostly minions under the Original Demon's command, later found in the Black Stone Tower. It absorbed the pure yin demonic energy inside the tower, causing some changes.
Defense: 50, evasion 200, movement speed +3, attack speed +2, darkness resistance reduced by 50%. Additional: agility 50, 10% physical attack immunity, 10% chance to freeze the opponent with the pure yin demonic energy from the Cloak of Dark Ghost Shadow, slowing down their speed.
With additional skills:
Ghost Shadow: active single-target skill, costs 300 mana. After use, you can move while invisible, with your movement speed halved, for a duration of one minute. If you attack actively or receive passive attacks during the invisible movement, the invisibility disappears. Skill cooldown time is five minutes.
Ghostly: active single-target skill, costs 300 mana. Movement speed increases by 50%, duration of 30 seconds, with a cooldown time of three minutes.
The attributes are amazing, the Cloak of Dark Ghost Shadow is too powerful. It's not just a Ghost Artifact, it's even stronger than a Divine Artifact if used correctly. I never thought I could get such a high-quality equipment. Just now, I was complaining about how stingy the reward for the Merchant King's quest was, but now I'm content.
Skeleton Staff, a golden equipment, requirement, level 20 for mage class. It's a one-handed weapon that absorbs a large amount of magic power, with formidable power.
Magic attack: 120, magic recovery speed +2. Additional: attack speed +2, health recovery speed +1, magic recovery speed +1, attack with 10 fire damage, attack with 20 toxic damage, 5% chance to trigger the intermediate skill, Fire Sea Technique.
The attributes are pretty good, similar to my Skeleton Blade. Since Li Tong is a mage, I'll leave this staff for her.
I wonder how beautiful Li Tong would look wearing a full set of Skeleton Armor. If she looks like a Skeleton Warrior, that would be hilarious.
After appraising and preparing, I'll store the equipment in the warehouse. I won't buy any equipment between levels 25 to 30 for now. There's no market for level 20 players like me. Moreover, if players see so many level 25 equipment, they will start killing each other.
Now, what should I do? Suddenly feeling bored.
"Little sister, what level are you? Haven't you left the beginner's village yet? Do you want me to guide you?" I directly sent a private message to the little sister to disturb her.
"No need, I'm busy with the quest now, no time to chat, see you later." The little sister ruthlessly hung up my private message.
"..." Speechless.
The little sister is too cold-hearted, ignoring me, the number one on the Top Ten Masters' list. So many people want me to guide them, you know.
Hmph, I'll make you realize how powerful I am. Don't blame me for not covering for you when the time comes. I am indignant and start to self-delusion.
"Li Tong, what level are you at? Haven't you left the newbie village yet?" Don't worry, whenever I need someone to talk to, Li Tong is there for me.
"Hehe..." Li Tong didn't answer me, but she kept laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm with little sister."
Dizzy and embarrassed, Li Tong knew that I had been rejected by little sister.
"Hurry up and level up, I'll take you with me."
"Okay, little sister and I are doing a task, we'll go level up after we finish."
"Brother, we're busy, don't bother us."
Dizzy, little sister interrupted me and Li Tong directly.
It's really frustrating, I can't go to the newbie village now. If I let little sister know how good I am and have me take them to level up, it would be like taking a plane. Unfortunately, I have to endure her arrogance. Heroes are useless in a useless world.
Forget it, let's continue leveling up. Let's go to the third floor of the Blackstone Tower, where the level 28 skeleton warrior gives a lot of experience, and there should be no players to steal monsters there.
For the next ten days, I immersed myself in the third floor of the Blackstone Tower, killing monsters and leveling up. Experience soared, and I had already reached level 27. Thinking about reaching level 30 and being able to use the artifact Diamond Giant Shield was my biggest motivation.
Little sister and Li Tong are really something, they're still stuck in the newbie village. I'm afraid they're the slowest leveling players in "King of Glory" and have been in the newbie village for the longest time.
Li Tong learned a hidden sideline in the newbie village: fishing. Every day when she enters the game, she takes a fishing rod and fishes by a scenic stream. It is said that if she can level up her fishing skill to intermediate before leaving the newbie village, there will be a great reward. She is obsessed with it.
Little sister is more frustrated, as she has received a series of hidden tasks that are quite simple, such as running errands, delivering items, finding things, or mining and collecting herbs. It's never-ending, and little sister is determined to see what rewards she can get after completing these tasks.
