Qin Ruo was in a foul mood!
While staring at the Villain’s Sword, Villain’s Shield, and Villain’s Armor that stood neatly before his eyes, he could not help but let out a sigh. It was a rule in H&G that equipment forged by Blacksmiths gave them the absolute right in naming them. Once a name was successfully assigned, it could never be changed. Henceforth, those “Villain” names would be marked on these Dark Gold equipment forever and ever.
But these names…
In a fit of rage, Qin Ruo sent a voice message to the female Blacksmith, Moonwaltz Rimbo. However, he was rendered speechless by her response.
“Hmph, it was not stated in the agreement that I can’t name the equipment!”
She was such a cheap crook.
“Even so, couldn’t you choose a better name? Couldn’t you be more civilized?”
She was driving him nuts again.
Moonwaltz Rimbo on the other end of the line was beaming as she witnessed his reaction. In a light and relaxed voice she said, “Pfft! What’s wrong with “Villain” in their names? They are both grand and majestic names! Uncle, you so ungrateful.”
‘Uncle?’ Qin Ruo could no longer restrain his anger and quickly ended the call…
Ah, a generation gap!
Qin Ruo had messed with the wrong person. This teenage girl had actually regarded him as an “Uncle”.
‘Gahh! Forget it!’
Not bother to spend time arguing with the little girl, he decided to focus on his next entry to the Graveyard of the Gods instead. After all, these equipment were no ordinary equipment as they were Dark Gold tier. They certainly had high value in the market.
“Qin Ruo, where have you been in these three days?”
While entering the store, a fairly young shopkeeper greeted him with a smile plastered on his face. A pair of bright gleaming eyes shone as bright as a light bulb, sizing him up with his gaze wandering from head to toe.
Qin Ruo felt like water boiling within him as he recalled this old man’ granddaughter had just called him “uncle”. He rolled his eyes.
“Hmph! I am collecting some information for lodging a report to the Child Protection Association… Who would have thought that a grandfather had actually gotten his granddaughter into child labor in H&G!”
“…”
The shopkeeper’s face stiffened and then broke out into a bright smile.
“Haha…You must be joking. My granddaughter had fully grown up, she is actually sixteen years old now. Are you falling for my girl? Would you like me to introduce you to my girl? My granddaughter…”
“… Hold on! Stop talking!”
Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. This old man was truly a devil in disguise and had led his granddaughter astray. It was particularly true as he was now treating Qin Ruo as his grandson-in-law. Embarrassed, Qin Ruo bathed in sweat and sighed helplessly. A crooked stick would have a crooked shadow…
‘Cough. Or it should be the opposite…’
“Well, I am not going to spend time on this anymore. I am going to enter the Graveyard of the Gods. I need ten sets of MP Potion (M) and two sets of HP Potion (L) immediately. Oh yeah, are there any other potions offered by Black Market Trader?” He changed the topic quickly.
At first, the old man was reluctant as the words of compliments kept pouring out like a flood. When he saw Qin Ruo’s face had gradually turned dark as he clenched his teeth, he immediately sensed his impatience and replied in a drawl, “Ah! The potion. I’ll check for you.” The old man quickly turned his body to avoid the two eyes that were blazing with killing intent.
All of a sudden, few players in the store shouted after hearing the conversation between the old man and Qin Ruo in a resentful tone.
“Boss, I thought there is no more stock?”
“Did you not just tell us that the potions are sold out? Now you’re saying there’s still some left? Did you lie to us?”
“This is so unfair!”
Screaming in anger, a group of players gathered around the counter, urging the shopkeeper to bring them the stock immediately. None dared to spare a glance at Qin Ruo who stood at the side…
Presently, Qin Ruo stood aside with the Dark Gold staff in his firm grip and snowy white robe with dark gold patterns intricately embroidered on it which covered his entire body, astonishing and overwhelmed with loftiness. Who was actually so dare to screw around with him?
The shopkeeper disregarded the players who gathered at the counter who threatened to ruin his reputation. Carefree, he slowly walked to the back of the counter and spoke lazily, “There are still stocks for certain. However, these are not the MP Potion (M) that you want. All stocks I have now are MP Potion (L), one for three hundred and twenty gold coins. Do you still want it? You can buy as many as you want!”
The group of players fell into a moment of silence as disappointment overtook them. Qin Ruo stood startled, stared at shopkeeper with his eyes wide-eyed.
“Three hundred and twenty gold coins for an MP Potion (L)? Crap! That is ridiculously expensive!”
Hearing Qin Ruo’s words, the shopkeeper turned his head to look at Qin Ruo and replied while stretching his arms, “You have been away for the past few days and have no idea on the things happened in the current market. The MP Potion (M) has long been out of stock and in great demand. The price has even gone up to 150 gold coins for a bottle. What’s more MP Potion (L). So, the price is just normal.”
While talking, the shopkeeper took out ten sets of MP Potion (L) and three sets of HP Potion (L)…
Not waiting for Qin Ruo to respond, he pressed the button to “Confirm”.
“There is no need to look at me like this. Thanks to your Ancient Darksteel, my girl’s forging skill has achieved Master level from the twenty times forging the Dark Gold equipment. This is your reward.”
“For real?”
Disregarding courtesy, Qin Ruo accepted the offer. Although the normal market price of the ten MP Potion (L) was worth about 15,000 gold coins, as compared to the bitterness he experienced, the villain names on the Dark Gold equipment and his granddaughter had even regarded him as “uncle”, it was fair.
“Hey, of course if you still have more high-quality metal or herb in the future, send them over. I guarantee to offer the best price in town. Moving forward, all these potions are on me!”
His wicked scheme was finally revealed. To catch a big fish one must cast a long line. He had actually planned to gain more out of Qin Ruo.
Knowing the shopkeeper intention, the feeling of contempt filled his heart.
When Qin Ruo tried asking about Black Market Trader, the shopkeeper responded with, “He’s busy crafting MP Potions right now. Do come back in a few days if you come by Grade 4 Herbs again.”
After leaving the store Qin Ruo stopped at the main entrance of Savis Town.
It was forty hours before the Graveyard of the Gods event ended…
There was still plenty of news about the fourth and fifth level of the Graveyard of the Gods. At this time, Qin Ruo wanted to spend more time training before entering into the Graveyard of the Gods. Looking at his equipment, nearly half of them were new. Naturally, he needed more time to understand and be familiar with them. Furthermore, Lycan Barrage was a new and powerful offensive skill that would come in handy in the Graveyard of the Gods.
Practice makes perfect. Only when he had mastered the new equipment and skills, his strength and chances of surviving the Graveyard of the Gods would be enhanced tremendously! Moreover, his
Aquamorph still had a dozen points left to reach Intermediate level. Additionally, he could take this chance to level Poochie up.
Speaking of Poochie…
Qin Ruo suddenly recalled something. It was the eighth day after the introduction of the Pet System. The town was every bit bustling with noise and excitement. Many players could be seen with their little monsters in tow, sweeping through the length and breadth of the town.
Outside the town, the countryside was even more lively. Many Tier 3 and 4 players were training at the low-level training grounds with vast varieties of Pets—leaping and dance with great joy.
The introduction of the Pet System had brought life back to the low-level training grounds that were once silent and dull. It had now become the battlefield of Pets and monsters!
Apparently, the number of Pets exceeded the monsters—some could even attack from afar. Once a low-level monster respawned, it would immediately be slaughtered by these tremendous number of Pets and magic. Poor monsters! They were killed without even being spared a minute to see the world with their own eyes. These players had perfectly mastered the moment a monster respawned and launched a remote attack.
Killed in a mere second!
Solidarity means strength. This proved the importance of joining a Clan…
Qin Ruo could see a couple of player groups. Each player with their own Clan insignias attached their chest gathered in separate low-level monster training grounds. The Pets were busy battling the low-level monsters while the players were cheerfully discussing the attack strength and potential of the monsters. Some were even laughing at the players who were struggling in the battle with the monsters.
Seeing this, Qin Ruo suddenly felt grateful.
It was fortunate that his little Illusory Raccoon hatched two days earlier. Otherwise, he would be struggling just like those players without a Clan now. Not only that, his little Illusory Raccoon’s strength would also be revealed.
While he pondered, the players around him were observing his movements attentively. Disregarding all the envy and jealousy emitting from the crowd, Qin Ruo continued moving toward the Snow Domain.
The Tier 4 Aquamancer Qin Ruo with his Dark Gold equipment and unaffiliated to any Clan or League resembled a pedestrian carrying millions of cash walking on the street. One could hardly blame the evil intention stirred up among the malicious players.
Naturally, Qin Ruo knew his situation very well as he had set up Frostbarrier and Darkfrost Shield as defense. He was actually waiting for the attack from other players as he wanted to know the power of his Water Dragon’s Staff too.
Ultimately, there was certainly bloodshed! However, this hostile attack was not directed at Qin Ruo…
Qin Ruo was in a foul mood!
While staring at the Villain’s Sword, Villain’s Shield, and Villain’s Armor that stood neatly before his eyes, he could not help but let out a sigh.
