As Wu Shaochen walked out of the God of War Temple, he received a private message.
Xueer: "Aren't you afraid of being surpassed by others after being offline for so long?"
"I'm not afraid. If I want to level up, I can do it in minutes. No one can catch up to me," Wu Shaochen replied. It was the truth. He was currently annoyed by how fast he was leveling up.
Upon seeing Wu Shaochen's response, Su Muxue pursed her lips. Although she felt he was bragging, it was indeed true. Even after being offline for so long, she was only at level 12. Shaking her head, she no longer dwelled on it and asked, "Do you have any mage equipment?"
Dust Sealed: "No."
Feeling somewhat disappointed after seeing Wu Shaochen's reply, Su Muxue couldn't help but feel a bit unwilling as she asked, "Is there any way for me to enter the God of War Secret Realm?"
Dust Sealed: "Bronze?"
...
Su Muxue gritted her teeth and replied, "Iron."
Dust Sealed: "Oh, that should be possible."
After saying that, he attached a screenshot of the "Wild Boar King Summoning Scroll." He had never used it and had no use for it anymore.
Su Muxue's eyes lit up when she saw it. This guy really had some good stuff on him. If she had this, she believed it would be easy to succeed in the challenge. She just needed the Wild Boar King to tank in the front while she dealt crazy damage from behind.
"How much?" Su Muxue asked.
"Just give whatever you think is fair," Wu Shaochen replied. The item was useless to him now.
"Then 50,000." Su Muxue thought for a moment and said.
Disposable items, unless particularly powerful, usually ranged from a few thousand to ten thousand. However, this scroll happened to be what she needed, and she didn't want to owe anyone any favors, so she purposely raised the price.
"You're not crazy, are you? Or maybe you have too much money to burn? You're giving 50,000 for this piece of junk?" Dust Sealed replied.
Wu Shaochen loved money, but he had principles. There was no way this scroll would fetch more than twenty thousand at an auction. Originally, he meant for this girl to give a few thousand, but she ended up asking for fifty thousand, which shocked him.
Seeing Wu Shaochen's response, Su Muxue's chest heaved up and down. Even someone with good self-restraint would eventually burst. After so many years, she could barely maintain her composure. After a while, she finally adjusted her mindset and gritted her teeth as she replied, "How much do you suggest?"
Dust Sealed: "Give me 10,000. If it's too much, I'll start doubting your intentions."
Su Muxue gritted her teeth and said, "Deal!"
Soon, the two of them completed the transaction. Su Muxue immediately returned to the city and ran towards the God of War Temple. Many people already knew that improving one's realm could have a significant impact on one's strength.
After the trade, Wu Shaochen put his "Black Bear King Armor," "Wolf Fang Staff," "Bear King Necklace," and the "Wolf King Legguards" he had taken off all up for auction. He set the auction mode to bidding with a half-hour time limit. A longer time meant a higher price. Currently, there were no equipment listings in the auction house since everyone discovered they could buy white-grade equipment at shops. Black iron equipment was also extremely rare, so whenever it was listed, it would be snatched up quickly. However, various materials were selling well.
As soon as Wu Shaochen listed the three pieces of black iron equipment and one piece of bronze equipment on the auction, it immediately caught everyone's attention.
"What the f***! Bronze equipment! I haven't even seen black iron equipment, and now there's bronze equipment?"
"Three black iron and one bronze? Who's this badass?"
"Damn, this armor provides a huge boost for shield warriors. If I had the money, I'd be the first to snatch it."
At this moment, Aoshi Tianxia looked at the equipment in the auction house with a serious expression and asked, "Do you know who's selling it?"
"No idea, it was listed anonymously," Aoshi Jueqing replied.
"At this stage, you can count the number of people who can sell bronze equipment on one hand. Moreover, this armor wasn't dropped by the Silver Wolf King. Do you guys think that Dust Sealed might be in Jinling City like us?" Aoshi Gufeng said.
"It's very possible. Let's first get this armor and then tell the others to be cautious. If Dust Sealed really is in Jinling City, we must find him. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve," Aoshi Tianxia said.
After listing the equipment in the auction, Wu Shaochen shook his head at the pile of white-grade equipment in his backpack. He walked into a nearby clothing store and sold all the white-grade equipment to the shop at once. Each piece of equipment was only worth a few copper coins, which made Wu Shaochen quite helpless. At least he didn't have to sell them separately. Both weapons and jewelry could be sold here. However, Wu Shaochen had already made up his mind not to pick up white-grade equipment next time. It was not worth the effort and space.
After selling the equipment, Wu Shaochen took a look at the items the shop was selling and realized that buying them back would cost several silver coins per piece. These were true businessmen.
Glancing at the store's items, he suddenly saw masks being sold. After some thought, he decided to buy one. The mask didn't provide any additional attributes; its only purpose was to hide his face. He was already becoming somewhat famous in the game, so it was better to keep a low profile.
In fact, it didn't really matter if he gained attention in the game. He was only worried about the impact it could have in reality. After all, in reality, he was just a small figure with no money or power. If he offended someone in the game and they sought revenge in real life, it would be disastrous.
After putting on the mask, Wu Shaochen walked out of the southern gate once again. Along the way, he encountered many players heading out to fight monsters. It was already four or five in the morning. Did these guys ever sleep?
At this moment, three men and one woman approached Wu Shaochen. The leading man spoke, "Hey, buddy, want to team up? We happen to lack a DPS."
"No, thanks!" Wu Shaochen politely declined and continued walking forward.
"Hey, what's with your attitude? Our boss inviting you is already giving you face, and you just walk away like this?" A young man behind the leader shouted.
Wu Shaochen stopped and turned around to face the young man. "I've already been polite enough. So what if he invited me? Do I have to agree just because he invited me?"
"By the way, do you know who our brother is? Our brother is a legendary figure among the heroes. It is your fortune that he took an interest in you. You should apologize immediately." The young man said proudly.
"Oh." Wu Shaochen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this person and turned to leave again. However, he didn't expect a few people from behind to keep chasing after him and surround him.
"Kid, believe me, I can kill you and send you back to the newbie village in a minute," another young man said arrogantly.
Meanwhile, the leader, Brother Hao, watched with folded arms and a smirk on his face. He noticed that this person seemed to have good equipment, so he wanted to invite him to join their team. But he didn't expect this person to refuse him, so he decided to teach him a lesson.
"I don't believe you!" Wu Shaochen said calmly.
"Hey! You're quite arrogant, kid. Today, I'll show you that there are certain people you shouldn't mess with," the young man said, rushing towards Wu Shaochen and striking him with a knife.
-62
An embarrassing number appeared, causing the young man's eyes to widen. He was a warrior who had invested all his points in attack. Despite wearing white equipment, he had an attack of over 300. But when he attacked this person, he only dealt 62 damage. Was this person really a high-defense assassin?
Players can hide their IDs and levels, but they can't hide their professions. A person's profession can be easily recognized at a glance.
"Is that all?" Wu Shaochen glanced at the astonished young man and casually took out a newbie wooden sword from his backpack. Then he said, "Now it's my turn!"
Wu Shaochen glanced at the several people around him. When the young man attacked him, they all turned gray, indicating that they were in the same team.
"Haha, a newbie wooden sword? Are you trying to kill us with a wooden sword?" the only woman among them burst into laughter.
Wu Shaochen didn't want to waste any more time with them, so he activated his extreme speed. He attacked each person with a sword before they could even react, and then he walked away without looking back.
"Damn, this guy is so fast. But what does he mean by attacking us once and then running? Did he realize he couldn't defeat us and escaped?" the young man said.
"That's not it... I'm poisoned. Damn it, I'm losing 260 HP per second. Xiao Li, heal me quickly!" Brother Hao said anxiously. As an archer, he already had low HP, and in just two seconds, he was already severely injured.
Xiao Li quickly cast a healing spell at Brother Hao, but it unfortunately showed "+0" on the screen.
"I can't heal you, Brother Hao. Quickly, drink a health potion." Before Brother Hao could take out the potion, he fell to the ground and died.
The same thing happened to the other people. When they realized they were poisoned, they had already collapsed to the ground. Even the tank with the highest HP could only hold on for 5 seconds before the whole team was wiped out.
Other nearby players looked at the suddenly fallen group with confusion on their faces.
