Chapter 156 Dang→Dang↓Dangdang↑!

When we returned to the town of Alvin, it was already bustling with activity.

As the players' initial safe zone, players will return here for replenishment after they become disabled or accidentally killed by monsters.

Xu Mu walked forward with his sword in hand, and along the way he could hear the conversations between various players.

"Damn it, I was accidentally killed by a monster just now. I still have more than 60 PL points. But when the adventure group is level 1, you can only revive once a day. I dare not rush again."

"It's better to take a rest and wait until the dungeon refreshes the resurrection coins in the early morning before rushing in again."

…

"Shit, you're charging 10 gold for a bottle of beginner HP potion, why don't you just go and rob it?"

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. If you don't, there are plenty of people who will buy it. Who doesn't want to quickly level up on the first day of a dungeon? Do I need to tell you the benefits of leveling up?"

"Hiss... fuck it (gritting teeth and reaching into pocket) give it to me!"

…

"Xi Fandi is so awesome. It's been less than two hours and he has already reached level 8. I'm only at level 4. What a gap..."

"No way, this thing depends on luck. It seems that more than 30 members of his guild were teleported to the same Novice Village as him. Help him kill monsters and save the last blow for him. His level will definitely increase quickly."

"Envy. There are tens of thousands of Novice Villages between me and our guild."

The players’ discussions also reminded Xu Mu of his own number one player guild.

I've been so busy lately that I barely have time to take care of my own guild.

The full authority is under the management of Xiao Xiji and Mu Lin.

The arrival of the global red moon fragments happened suddenly, and there was no time to contact them or remind them of precautions before they were teleported in.

Moreover, at present, the novice village cannot communicate with other novice villages.

"Let's go to Hermadon and try to contact them later."

Thinking about it, Xu Mu started thinking about his weapon again.

Just now, the cat demon dropped a level 3 blue knife, which replaced the samurai sword in his hand, and the panel attack power has been increased to 50 points.

But there is a problem.

If I take this blue knife to strengthen it, it seems a bit of a loss.

After all, the level increases quickly in the early stage, and the frequency of equipment replacement also increases rapidly.

If you start strengthening it now, you may have to replace it soon.

If it is not strengthened, the output will be a bit touching under the limit of ten times the difficulty.

Xu Mu had calculated that based on the tenfold reduction in experience, he would have to kill monsters at least 3 to 5 levels higher to gain the same amount of experience as normal players.

But if you add ten times damage reduction to monsters at levels 3 to 5, the difficulty will be incredibly high.

Just when Xu Mu was still hesitating whether to take out the gold coins in his pocket and go all in.

Suddenly, the conversation between the players passing by gave him a hint.

"Brother, I remember you were already level 3 when we said goodbye half an hour ago. Why are you still level 3 now? I'm already level 4."

"Shit! I get angry whenever I mention this! Isn't there an NPC in the south of the town? I think his name is Tu Guan. He has a stall over there, and it's full of jars. He says it costs 30 gold coins to hit it once, and he randomly selects from 100 jars. If you hit any equipment, he will buy it back at a premium."

"Then what?"

"Dude, I'm still relatively well off. I just got a wizard's wand and sold it for some money. I have about 200 gold in my savings, so I thought about giving it a try. I swear, I really just wanted to try it out, just like buying a scratch card, but..."

Xu Mu listened roughly.

Simply put, this is a story about a gambler who gets into trouble.

At first, the player spent 30 gold to smash the jar, and he actually got a blue item.

So, Tu Guan spent 300 gold to buy back the equipment at a premium. (The current market price of blue equipment varies from 100 gold to 200 gold depending on the part)

The spectators nearby all made envious noises.

For a moment, the player felt elated.

Thinking about keeping up the good work.

As for the ending, he kept losing money and in less than half an hour he lost all the money in his pocket.

He originally wanted to use the money to buy himself a set of level 5 white clothes as a backup.

But Xu Mu extracted a key piece of information from this incident.

The damn earthen jar actually came to Alvin Town to set up a stall?

It feels so numb!

In his previous life, whether it was when he first opened the inheritance jar or when he later opened the magic jar, Xu Mu had been cheated out of a lot of money by this bastard.

Since we caught it in the dungeon, we have to make you spit out some of it, right?

Xu Mu rode his horse as fast as he could and headed straight towards the downtown area of the town.

There is almost no need to ask about the specific location of the earthen jar. Once you arrive at the downtown area of the town, take a look around.

There is no doubt that the place with the most players gathered is the one!

Before Xu Mu even got there, he could hear Tu Guan's treacherous voice floating out loudly.

"Come on! Make money with money!"

"The things I have here are all treasures!"

"30 gold per jar, smash it and redeem it, rich prizes!"

"+5 enhancement scrolls, blue equipment, fatigue potions, recovery cakes, everything you need! Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Xu Mu squeezed into the crowd and immediately saw the NPC wearing a gray robe and holding a dusty gray jar upside down on his head, playing cosplay.

In front of him was a cart filled with cans, and next to him was a wooden sign.

The price of recycling equipment is clearly marked on it.

All white equipment smashed out of the jar will be recycled at 30 gold per piece.

If you get blue equipment, you can buy it back for 300 gold per piece.

It was written in the largest font at the bottom.

"If you get a purple outfit, you can keep it for yourself, and you will be rewarded with 5,000 gold coins on the spot!"

This line of words was deliberately written in bright red, and the font was deliberately drawn large, making it look particularly attractive.

The generous reward also caused the earthenware pot stall to be surrounded by people.

The huge sum of 5,000 gold means something self-evident at this moment.

You can buy a set of level 5 top-quality blue equipment!

And use the remaining money to buy potions, and you can have 100 bottles of red and blue potions each.

Quite wealthy!

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the assets of the hundreds of players gathered here were added together, they might not be able to raise 1,000 gold.

What's more, in addition to the 5,000 gold reward.

You can also get a purple outfit!

The purple equipment was something that took two hours of non-stop monster hunting for the 20,000 players in the novice village.

So far, none of them have been exposed.

This shows its value!

The ample amount of chips makes countless players eager to try.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

Once, I actually got a blue outfit, which made the surrounding players envious.

But most of them returned disappointed and empty-handed.

Xu Mu observed for a while and asked with interest.

"Can you really get purple equipment from this jar? I just watched for a long time and didn't get any purple equipment. You're not kidding, are you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were echoed by many players who had suffered heavy losses.

"Yeah, I've been looking half an hour and I haven't seen a single purple item."

"A cover?"

"He's making so much money that his mouth is about to burst from laughing under his mask!"

"You have the guts to take off your hood and let me see it? You're a businessman who doesn't even dare to show your face?"

When Tu Guan heard this, he immediately snorted at Xu Mu in displeasure: "Young man, what are you talking about? This is not the first day I have been doing business here."

"As businessmen, our main concern is integrity!"

"Among these 100 jars, there must be one that contains a purple item. But if you can't find it, it's your own fault. You can't blame me."

"If you really don't believe me, why don't you try packing all the 100 cans in this truck?"

"I promise you can get purple!"

After the words fell, a group of angry players fell silent instantly.

A truckload of hundreds of cans?

Guigui! That's 3,000 gold!

Even if you sell us all, it's still not worth this price...

Where the hell can I disprove this?

Seeing this scene, Tuguan smiled cunningly in his heart.

Tuguan is more familiar with the adventurers coming and going in the town of Alvin than he is with his wife of ten years.

They are all a bunch of poor and weak people.

Those warriors who were truly wealthy and powerful had already gone to the city of Hermaden in the Principality of Belmar.

Who would stay in this poor and run-down town?

It is precisely because he has fully understood this factor that Tuguan dares to commit fraud openly.

It costs 3,000 gold to rent a whole car, and poor low-level adventurers certainly cannot afford this money.

Hey, you little bastards, you want to play with me?

When we were doing business, your three generations of ancestors had probably not yet started to venture into the continent of Arad.

I am not afraid to tell you the truth from my heart.

There is no purple equipment in these 100 jars!

If you don't believe me, why don't you book the whole place and try it?

"Since you are so sure that there must be purple equipment in the jar, then I will book the whole place." Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Okay!...Ah?" Tuguanzui reacted faster than his brain. When he came to his senses, his expression suddenly became a little nervous .

He quickly looked at Xu Mu again.

Although he is wearing blue clothes, his weapon is only level 3.

He doesn't look like a rich guy...

But why can you say such harsh words...

"Well... if you book the whole place, you have to... uh, you have to..."

Tuguan's brain was spinning so fast that his CPU almost burned out before he spoke.

"You have to pay first. We don't sell on credit!"

“Bang!”

Without saying a word, Xu Mu took out several large bags of heavy gold coins from his backpack and threw them directly on the table. He then folded his hands across his chest and laughed softly.

"Count them."

“This…this…” The Tujar people were stunned.

He has traveled all over the country over the years, so he can still tell the approximate amount of gold coins in a bag at a glance.

These big bags of gold coins are no less than 3,000 gold!

What's wrong with this kid?

Where did he get so much money???

Just when cold sweat was pouring down Tuguan's forehead.

"Hey, I'm telling you, the big boss has already given you the money, so hurry up and fill up your jars so he can smash them! What are you hesitating for?" a player in the crowd shouted.

One call brings a hundred responses.

"That's right! Hurry up! I'm waiting to see the first purple outfit in the district blind my dog eyes!"

"If you can't get the purple equipment, we'll smash you!"

Tuguan's face turned green.

He slowly replenished the 100 cans and handed Xu Mu a small wooden hammer.

He said with a lack of confidence: "You, you start..."

He originally thought that when Xu Mu smashed them one by one, he would grit his teeth and secretly change the jar to a purple one while others were not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mu took the hammer and threw it away, then pressed the car with both hands and overturned it!

"You!" Before Tuguan could even start speaking, he heard Xu Mu say again.

“It’s fast this way.”

Right at this moment.

Crash!

The clay pot shattered to the ground.

Everyone looked over there.

Don’t even mention the purple ones among the 100 jars.

Even the second best blue outfit only had two or three pieces.

There are only about ten pieces of white equipment.

The remaining seventy or eighty cans were filled with garbage.

Suddenly, all the players were angry!

"Shit! It's all fucking empty!"

"Geneva! Give me your money back!!"

"Damn it! If I don't take off your hood today, I'll take your last name as Tu!!"

"Brothers, kill him!"

The angry players rushed forward and surrounded the earthenware stall, making it impossible to get in or out.

However, Xu Mu had already taken advantage of the chaos to steal the sword with purple light that was pinned to his waist from the earthen jar .

Before leaving, he threw all the bags of gold coins he had just taken out back into his backpack.

It was not until they were far away from the downtown that Xu Mu took out the weapon he had just obtained and looked at its attributes.

【Leaf Knife】

【Quality: Purple】

[Level: Level 10]

[Attack: 163]

[Critical Hit Rate: +10%]

[Skill Cooldown: -15%]

[Entry 1: Ghost Swordsman General Skills +2]

[Entry 2: The wearer can reduce the wearing level by 5 levels]

[Item 3: When attacking, there is a 3% chance of causing the enemy to enter a withered state. In this state, the enemy will receive +50% damage from this weapon.]

…

Wow, this sword is really a top-notch item in the early stage.

The attack power alone is three times higher than the level 3 blue knife in his hand!

Since Tuguan could carry such a good sword, Xu Mu estimated that his actual combat capability was probably not too weak.

If I hadn't taken advantage of the chaos, I might not have been able to get it so easily.

But now that I have it, it is mine!

With a suitable weapon, Xu Mu no longer needs to worry about whether to strengthen it or not.

He walked forward and came to the blacksmith Linus with ease, and put down the leaf knife.

"Uncle, help me strengthen this weapon."

"Oh, it's you, warrior." Linus was busy, and when he saw Xu Mu, there was a bit of kindness in his eyes.

But when he lowered his eyes and saw the sword, his expression froze slightly.

He picked up the weapon again and examined it carefully for a moment, and could not help but smack his lips repeatedly.

"This is a good weapon."

"The power surging from it is very strong!"

"I haven't made such a good weapon in a long time." As he spoke, Linus' arms trembled slightly.

"Warrior, it's hard for me to use such a good weapon to its full potential."

"To be honest, if you can go to Hermaden and find Miss Kelly, she has some sophisticated mechanical instruments brought from the heavens, which are more stable than the ones I forged by hand."

Immediately, a copy prompt popped up.

[The blacksmith Linus can only strengthen the weapon to +10. For higher strengthening values, please go to Hermaden and find Kelly after completing the first transformation! ]

"It's okay, I believe you." Xu Mu said with a smile.

Linus lit a cigarette, suppressed his excitement, and said, "Okay! I need some more refined materials, otherwise the probability of damage is very high. Every time I forge, I need multiple small colorless crystals. Can you help me find some?"

Xu Mu had already made preparations. He threw the dozen or so white items he had accumulated from killing monsters, as well as the extra blue items, into the decomposition machine next to Linus.

Soon, more than two thousand colorless coins appeared in the backpack.

All to Linus.

"Okay! I'll start preparing now!" Linus turned around and placed the leaf knife on the iron felt, holding a hammer, and was about to smash it down.

Another reminder sound popped up.

[You are strengthening your equipment! ]

[+0 Dead Leaf Knife → +1 Dead Leaf Knife]

[Attack Power +163 → Attack Power +165]

[Consumable materials: [Colorless small crystal blocks] 10, 288 gold coins]

[Are you sure you want to strengthen this equipment? ]

I have to say that the enhancement during the early stages of a dungeon is really expensive.

Especially the enhancement of purple equipment, which consumes 288 gold at a time.

Based on the current gold coin output, this is almost a player's income in about a week.
