Chapter 21 Preparation
The streets are still bustling with people coming and going, but it can be seen that there are not all NPCs. There are already players in groups of three or three. Although not many, there are still some. I believe that as time goes by, players will appear more and more in the streets and alleys of various cities. What should I do now? I have learned the only skill book "Basic Sword Skills" that the system just now gave me. Maybe it is because of the frequent use of it. In addition to the three actions of "Basic Sword Skills", I will pick, sting and stabbing.
The proficiency of the two other techniques and stings reached 57% and 63%, which is not far from being proficient at 100%. Should I go to the swordsman training hall to practice skills while the iron is hot? Or now I will kill monsters and level up and slowly hone in battle? The former is better because I can concentrate on practicing and increase proficiency, while the latter can practice skills in battle. Not only can I increase my skills, proficiency but also experience upgrades. But compared with the proficiency, I will increase my skills slowly.
After thinking about it, I finally decided to choose the latter because I took action faster than others, and I increased my proficiency more than others, and I also received a systematic reward to increase the learning speed of skills by 5%. In this way, I believe that I will not be much slower than others who practice hard in the skills hall. The most important thing is that I don’t like that boring practice method, which is too boring.
I made up my mind and took a bus to the Imperial City Trade Zone. Monster medicine is essential. Although I brought a lot of it from the novice village and didn’t cost much medicine to beat the Furious Bear King, I didn’t have much physical medicine anymore. I used it when digging a pit. This treasure is not missing. Not long after, I arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy. Haha, the carriage is really fast, but the price is not low. The system really makes money. It takes a lot of time to walk. At this moment of racing against time, it’s hard not to release such convenient services.
After paying the fare, getting off the carriage, I looked up and saw a couplet in front of the door. The first couplet said, "If you have money, please come, don't have money." The second couplet said, "If you have medicine, come quickly and stop with medicine." The horizontal banner is written on "No credit". Looking at this "former (money) who is known as the number one in the imperial city, I couldn't help but sigh, what is the difference between the game world and the real world? I just gave the middle-aged uncle a tael of gold. The couplet now clearly tells us that even in this virtual world, it is still impossible to have money.
After buying the medicine in a hurry, I walked to the tailor shop. The owner of the grocery store in the Novice Village said that my silver wolf-skin cloak can only be made by the Master of Imperial City. The tailor shop is not far from the pharmacy, after all, these are the best-selling supplies.
When I walked out of the pharmacy, I saw the huge guise of the tailor shop. A pair of golden scissors swayed in the wind. When I entered the tailor shop, I saw a beautiful woman lowering her head and sewing the clothes in her hand. "Hello sister, are you a tailor here?" For women, especially beautiful women, every man will lower his tone, and even me, a cold person, is no exception.
"Oh, yes, yes." The woman seemed to be shocked by my sudden inquiry. After a while, she slowly calmed down. She glanced at me, as if she was blaming me for her rudeness. "Is there anything wrong with me?" Her tone was full of dissatisfaction. Although she should be older than me, she felt like a child.
I shook my head helplessly, and didn't talk much to her. I took out the silver wolf skin from the ring and placed it in front of her? "Silver wolf king skin?" The girl seemed surprised, and then said, "Ye's good quality, I'm very careful when capturing and collecting, basically maintaining the original quality. What do you want to make it?"
Listening to the girl's words, I was really surprised. I thought that girls were afraid of wolves. I didn't expect that she actually held the Silver Wolf King skin and seemed to feel like she was a professional. "Sister, I want to make a cloak. I wonder if I can help me with this?"
"What? What did you call me? Do I look so old?" The girl seemed to be showing signs of a rampage.
"Big, big no, no, no, I didn't mean it." I quickly explained. I didn't have much contact with girls since I was a child, and now I feel a little helpless.
"Why, Miss, it's so ugly. Do you think this is a bar? It's so rude." I was so shocked when I heard this. It's not good to call my elder sister, and it's not appropriate to call my elder sister. So what should I do? My mind, who usually feels quite flexible, is already a little dizzy, and the sweat immediately appears from my forehead.
Looking at me, I heard the girl laughing suddenly, and she looked as beautiful as flowers blooming, which made me stunned. Seeing that my eyes were staring at her, the girl was a little embarrassed, and glared at me fiercely and said, "Hmph, call me Master, do you know?"
"Master?" I shouted in surprise, and immediately the bald monk who was holding a white beard and meditating and chanting scriptures appeared in my mind. But looking at the girl's intoxicated look, I didn't dare to laugh, and I was really afraid that she would be rude.
"Master, can you make this cloak?" I held back my laughter and said slowly. "Of course, I am a master. How could there be something I can't make? Let me tell you that my tailor level is at the master level." He said with a proud look on his face.
"Master level? You must not behave like a person. I didn't expect that this a bit crazy girl is a master level sewing master. The Imperial City is really a place where you hide and hide. None of these NPCs can be underestimated.
Since she can do it, I don’t have anything to worry about. The system will never make a liar, haha. “Master, when should I come to get things? And how do I calculate the cost?”
"I'll get the things after three days. As for the money, huh, how much should I give?" I was so dizzy that there was such a thing. Seeing my shocked look, the girl curled her lips and muttered, "What's so strange about this? I'm only responsible for making things, but not selling things. This way, I will pay when you come to get the goods. Today, my sister who sells things is not here." After hearing her words, I finally understood. It turned out that she only knows how to make things and not sell things. No wonder she speaks like that. If everyone in business is like her, no one dares to buy things. After the work is done, it's time to level up.
Walking out of the tailor shop, walking along the road, looking at the blacksmith shop not far ahead, hesitating whether to go in and buy an iron sword. Although my "Jueyi" sword is good, it is now showing more and more insufficient attack power. If it continues, it may affect my leveling speed and increase my danger. After all, this is no longer a novice village. There are some powerful monsters outside, and it seems unlikely to kill them with a wooden sword. But the problem is that this "Jueyi"
"The sword was made by me by myself, and it was my first weapon. It accompanied me through death, killed the mana bull and killed the silver wolf, and survived countless dangers. Moreover, its accompanying attributes were indeed good, and I couldn't find a better replacement for it for a while. After thinking about it, I'd better buy the iron sword now than my "Jueyi". Moreover, because it is an iron system without the unique attribute bonus of the wood system, it is always not easy to use. I'd better pay attention to find a good material and make a better one for myself.
Just as I was thinking, a group of players not far away attracted my attention. They surrounded an NPC and seemed to be buying something, because the price was not agreed to be negotiated, as if they were bargaining. Originally, according to my personality, I wouldn't go up to join in the fun, but a player who walked by me muttered something "monster-killing map" in his mouth.
What is the "monster-killing map"? It's not a map that identifies the monster area. The official website of "Peerless" has nothing else except explaining the monsters in the novice village. Now where to fight monsters and level up has become the most troublesome problem for many players. Haha it turns out that even this is used by the system, and it can make a good deal again.
Maybe the price is too high and players can't afford it now, and the NPC is not in a hurry to sell it. I guess I want to wait for those who offer the starting price, so after bargaining for a long time, no one bought it. In the end, everyone broke up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I walked up and asked, "Boss, are you selling maps? What type of map?" The fat boss glanced at me with his little eyes and said, "It's a monster-killing map, a map of the distribution of monsters around the Imperial City area, from level 10 to level 50, and it is a must-have treasure for leveling now."
"Oh really? That's pretty good. Boss, how much do you want?" I asked.
"Oh, I spent countless efforts and hard work to risk my life, and it was issued in a limited edition, so this price... Hehe, it's only 5 taels of gold if you're not bad." The fat boss said as if you were taking advantage of you.
It's so bad, no wonder it's true that all businessmen are not traitorous. As expected, I have money, but that profiteer is so cheap. I really don't want to, "You're too expensive, this boss, you're not unaware of the current market. You can do a lot of things with so much money. Forget it, just keep the money to buy medicine. It's the same if you spend more time." After saying that, he pretended to be about to leave, but he took out two taels of gold and played with it.
When I saw the gold, the fat boss's little eyes flashed suddenly with a golden light. He turned to me at a speed that his fat body could never reach and stopped me. "Haha, my little brother has something to say, don't rush to leave, I have something to say, as for this price, everyone can negotiate, haha." After some bargaining, I finally bought the "monster-killing map" for 2 taels of gold. Haha, there is an advantage in doing business with the system, that is, I am not afraid of buying fakes. Looking at the precise distribution location of monsters on the map, the entire leveling plan slowly formed in my mind.
Chapter completed!
