Wu Shaochen spent almost an hour to finally rush back to Jinling City, and then directly walked towards the Lord's Mansion.
When Wu Shaochen entered Jinling City, a young man opened the friend list and sent a message to one of them: "Boss, that person has returned to Jinling City."
After Wu Shaochen came to the Lord's Mansion to state his intention, this time the guard did not stop him, but took him into the hall and let him wait for a while, and then went to report.
Soon, the lord of Jinling City walked in and said to Wu Shaochen after seeing him: "Adventurer, didn't you go to look for the chief of the Black Wind Bandit Stronghold? Did you encounter problems that are difficult to solve?"
Wu Shaochen said nothing and directly took out the head of the chief of the Black Wind Bandit Stronghold and handed it to the lord, saying: "There are no problems. The chief of the Black Wind Bandit Stronghold has been solved by me."
"Ah" The lord looked at the head in front of him for a while and couldn't even speak. Obviously, he didn't expect that Wu Shaochen actually killed the chief of the Black Wind Bandit Stronghold.
For a long time, the lord only came to his senses and sighed: "Really, a hero comes out of a young man.
Adventurer, thank you for helping me solve a big trouble. This is your reward."
"Ding, the task is completed, gain reputation +1000, gold coins +50, and obtain the title [Bandit Suppression Hero]."
"Eh, there is actually a title." Wu Shaochen was instantly happy in an instant. The title is never out of date. Hurry up to check:
[Bandit Suppression Hero]: Wearing it gains life +10%, defense +10%
Not bad, not bad, Wu Shaochen quickly wore it, and the life value reached 6062 points, the physical defense reached 597, and the magic defense reached 586. In an instant, he felt that he was much fatter again.
After receiving the reward, Wu Shaochen took out the sheepskin scroll and handed it to the lord, saying: "Lord, this is what the village chief of the Liu family village asked me to hand over to you. He asked me to tell you that the seal has loosened and hoped to send troops to support."
"Liu Family Village?" The lord seemed to have no impression. Looking at the sheepskin scroll in Wu Shaochen's hand, he took it over, and then opened it. Soon, the lord's face became very heavy.
After a long time, the lord said: "Adventurer, thank you for bringing such an important message. I have nothing good to give you here. This thing I don't use anymore, just give it to you."
"Ding, the task is completed, and the item [Juechen Mask] is obtained."
Wu Shaochen took the item handed over by the lord and took a look, and a surprised look appeared on his face. This is a mask made of unknown material. The mask is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the graphic design on it is exquisite. It is much more beautiful than the ones sold in the store. Wearing it, the temperament in this area is definitely firmly held. The most important thing is that this mask actually has a wearing effect, which is very incredible.
[Juechen Mask]: Wearing it can block all types of exploration skills and scrolls, and the mask form can be changed at will.
This effect is definitely very awesome. Although Insight Skill cannot be used on players, there will definitely be skills and scrolls that can view players in the future. With this, you don't have to worry about being peeped. And the mask can actually change shape, which is a great skill to hide identity.
"This is definitely a good thing for killing people and seizing treasures." Wu Shaochen happily put on the [Juechen Mask] and put the trash mask bought in the store back in the backpack. Suddenly, he felt that the whole person's temperament was different.
After putting on the mask, Wu Shaochen looked at the lord who still had a heavy look and asked, "Lord, I don't know if there is anywhere I can help?"
The city lord shook his head and said, "I will handle this matter. You can go back now."
"Alright," Wu Shaochen replied and then took his leave.
As he was about to walk out the door, the city lord suddenly said, "If possible, could you help clear out the Jungle Tigers in the Howling Tiger Forest? Those Jungle Tigers are hindering the advancement of our troops."
"Sure, leave it to me," Wu Shaochen assured, patting his chest confidently.
However, there was no task notification for a long time, which left Wu Shaochen a bit frustrated. Was he being asked to help for free?
Seeing Wu Shaochen agree so readily, the city lord praised him, "Adventurer, your name is Chen Feng, right? I will remember you. You are a hero of Jinling City. Be careful not to go too deep while clearing the Jungle Tigers. There is a Jungle Tiger King in there that you can't handle at your current stage. If you encounter it, run immediately."
Wu Shaochen's eyes lit up upon hearing this from the city lord, "A boss?"
If that was the case, helping out for free wasn't so bad. After all, that place was currently the best for leveling up. Having a big boss would make it even better.
He quickly replied, "Don't worry, city lord, I won't be reckless." He wanted to reassure the city lord, to ensure he wouldn't prevent him from going. Although this task had no reward, building a good relationship with the city lord of Jinling City would be highly beneficial with no downsides. He had many things to handle in Jinling City in the future.
The city lord nodded in satisfaction, greatly increasing his goodwill towards the adventurer in front of him.
After bidding farewell to the city lord, Wu Shaochen left the city lord's mansion and went to the warehouse to take out the skill book [Savage Charge] and put it up for auction. It was the perfect time to sell it, as he had noticed many people in the public chat looking to buy skill books.
In the auction, the price of [Savage Charge] soared and eventually sold for 550,000, setting a new record for the highest single transaction amount in the auction house.
Wu Shaochen looked at the over 460,000 that had been credited to his account with a satisfied expression. He had kept this skill book until now to get a good price, and it hadn't disappointed him. He thought 300,000 would be good, but it skyrocketed to 550,000. It seemed the demand for skills was even higher than for equipment. Skills were never outdated; the more, the better. Equipment, on the other hand, would be replaced, so skill prices were much higher.
Looking at the balance exceeding three million, Wu Shaochen's desire to buy a house grew even stronger. This speed of making money was beyond his wildest dreams.
"It seems I need to keep finding bosses to fight. In a city like SZ, this amount of money isn't enough to buy a house," Wu Shaochen sighed.
Wu Shaochen went to the pharmacy and looked at the items. They were indeed much better than those in the beginner village.
Small Health Potion: Restores 200 health per second for 10 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds. Price: 5 silver coins.
Medium Health Potion: Restores 300 health per second for 10 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds. Price: 10 silver coins.
Large Health Potion: Restores 500 health per second for 10 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds. Price: 50 silver coins.
There were also blue potions (small, medium, large).
The potions in the main city were much more effective than those in the beginner village, but they were also much more expensive. Even with a lot of money, Wu Shaochen was reluctant to buy them.
In the end, Wu Shaochen spent 10 gold coins to buy 20 large health potions and another 10 gold coins to buy 100 medium health potions.
Buying so many potions was to prepare for the upcoming boss fight. According to the city lord, the boss in the Howling Tiger Forest was certainly not ordinary, so it was wise to buy extra potions for survival.
After buying the potions, Wu Shaochen disposed of all the remaining health potions from the beginner village in his backpack, clearing it out. Health potions seemed to only drop from monsters in the beginner village, likely to help new players who couldn't afford to buy them. In the main city, monsters didn't drop potions, so he had to purchase them himself.
After handling these tasks, Wu Shaochen decided to log off. It was almost mealtime, and it was a good opportunity to eat something before continuing.
