The Luxurious Accessory Box slowly opened, releasing a multicolored radiance that shone brightly.
Fortunately, Shifeng was in a dark alleyway, and no players would wander around here. Otherwise, it would definitely arouse the greed of many players, and they would kill Shifeng to steal the treasure.
When the radiance dissipated, a purple-gold ring lay inside the Luxurious Accessory Box. A circle of words was engraved around the ring, and they looked like ancient Elven words that contained boundless magic. There was also a simple silver necklace.
"Fortunately, it really is the Ring of Gravity." After Shifeng saw the appearance of the ring, he immediately released a sigh of relief. He carefully took out the ring and inspected it.
Strength + 2, Agility + 1, Endurance + 1 Additional Skill "Gravity Liberation": Greatly reduces the gravitational force on the wearer, allowing the wearer to become as light as a feather. Duration: 30 seconds Cooldown: 5 minutes
"Great, it's actually not Bronze rank." After Shifeng finished reading the introduction, he was overjoyed. The situation was better than he had imagined.
Equipment in God's Domain was divided into Trash, Normal, Bronze, Mysterious-Iron, Mithril, Fine-Gold, Dark-Gold, and Epic.
At this stage of the game, no player possessed Normal Equipment. Although Normal Equipment could be bought in large cities, the price was very expensive. As for Bronze Equipment, they were extremely rare, and the equipment even had additional Attributes. As for Mysterious-Iron Equipment, they were even more precious, and only Bosses had a chance of dropping them.
In Shi Feng's previous life, the Ring of Gravity that the player had given him was only Bronze rank. It only added 1 point to Strength, and the skill "Gravity Liberation" only lasted for 15 seconds. Yet, after completing a Level 0 quest, he received a Mysterious-Iron ranked Ring of Gravity. It was truly unexpected.
As for the necklace, it was a special Gray item. NPC merchants loved it and would purchase it at a high price.
After equipping the Ring of Gravity, Shi Feng added the 4 Free Attribute Points he obtained from leveling up to Agility.
Shifeng's Agility instantly reached 12 points. His Attack Speed increased to 5 points, and his Movement Speed increased to 6 points. He was about the same level as an Agility-based Assassin.
"When I reach Level 3, my Agility will reach 20 points. That way, I'll be able to activate the hidden Basic Skills of the Agility-based class." Shifeng looked at the Attribute Panel, his heart filled with anticipation.
Shifeng stretched his body and felt that he was much more agile than before. If he were to face Mayor Cross now, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state like before. If his Agility reached 20 points and he activated the basic skill [Nimble and Swift], then his physical attributes would be amazing. He would be comparable to the martial arts experts in wuxia novels.
Following which, Shi Feng added 15 Free Mastery Points to his One-handed Sword Mastery, leaving 5 points in reserve. Suddenly, his One-handed Sword Mastery had reached 20 points, and he had advanced from Apprentice to Basic Swordsman. His damage with his One-handed Sword had increased by 10%, and he was only 30 Mastery Points away from becoming an Intermediate Swordsman.
As a Swordsman, if he wanted to become a master swordsman, normal attacks were just the basics. Skills were essential. The more skills a Swordsman learned, the more flexible he would be in battle and the more damage he could deal.
Shifeng was an expert swordsman and a reincarnator. With a special tool like the Ring of Gravity, if he wanted to level up quickly, the next step was naturally to learn a large number of Swordsman skills. Only then would he be able to display the true instincts of a Swordsman. Otherwise, if he only used normal attacks, how would he be able to kill monsters efficiently?
"I remember that there is a Black Market Challenge in Red Leaf Town's Trade Area. It seems that players who pass the challenge for the first time will be able to obtain a Swordsman skill book." Shifeng thought for a moment. The majority of skill books were dropped by Level 3 to Level 5 monsters, and the drop rate was very low. At this stage of the game, there were still no players who could farm those monsters. Obtaining other Swordsman skill books was very time-consuming, and he did not have the time to farm them. In Red Leaf Town, the only way to obtain skill books quickly was through the Black Market Challenge.
Red Leaf Town's Trade Area.
Various kinds of shops were opened on both sides of the street. There were Potion Shops, Forging Shops, bars, and so on. It was very bustling, just like a small market. However, God's Domain had just opened, and players were all leveling up. They did not have the time to experience the joys of God's Domain. Hence, the Trade Area was not at its most lively right now. There were only a small number of production-type players here, learning Supporting Jobs such as Enchanting, Forging, Potioneering, Cooking, Engineering, Alchemy, and so on.
"Purchasing Herbs at a high price. If you have any, contact me directly."
"Purchasing Ores. Don't bother coming."
"Sincerely purchasing Advanced Equipment. Price is negotiable. You can use Credits to purchase."
Many Workshops and Guilds' logistics staff had set up a small stall at the side of the Trade Area's street, purchasing materials and equipment.
Shifeng did not stop. He quickly walked towards the two-story building guarded by Advanced Gnomes. The building had the words "Black Market" written on it. This was the dark area of Red Leaf Town, and it was an entertainment center built by the greedy Gnomes.
After walking into the Black Market, Shi Feng found the Gnome Auction House. Walking down the cellar's stairs, he saw two open spaces. One was the Battle Arena, and the other was the Challenge Arena.
At this moment, there were already several players standing in the Challenge Arena, accepting the challenges of the Gnomes.
"Do your best! You must succeed this time!"
"Do your best! Get rid of those Gnomes!"
Several players shook their bodies and cheered for an Assassin player in the arena. Their eyes flashed with a red glow, and they looked just like crazy gamblers.
The Challenge Arena was a competition that tested a player's skills. The arena was 30 yards long and 10 yards wide. After all players entered the arena, all of their Attributes would be reduced to 10 points. They could not use any skills, and their equipment would be ineffective. They could only dodge or block the Gnome's shots. In the end, if they could pass the finish line, they would be considered victorious.
The Gnomes gave out three levels of challenges: Bronze Prize, Silver Prize, and Gold Prize. After completing a challenge, the Challenge Arena would be refreshed once every three days. Meanwhile, the requirement to participate was to pay 5 Copper Coins for the Bronze Prize, 5 Silver Coins for the Silver Prize, and 5 Gold Coins for the Gold Prize. The higher the level of the challenge, the better the rewards. There were even times when Dark-Gold Equipment would appear.
If it was a player who passed the Challenge Arena for the first time in Red Leaf Town, even if it was a Bronze Prize, it would not be much different from a Silver Prize.
Shifeng remembered that in his previous life, there was a Swordsman called Storm who passed the Bronze Prize Challenge Arena for the first time in Red Leaf Town, obtaining a rare Swordsman Skill Book.
After a short moment, the Assassin in the arena was struck, lying 20 yards away. There was still 10 yards to the finish line.
"Damn it! Almost! Do you guys still have money? I'll definitely pass the next challenge! "the male Assassin said repeatedly after reviving outside the arena.
A male Cleric shook his head and said, "Boss Stabbing Heart, the five of us have already given you all our money. We really don't have any more money."
Shifeng was shocked when he heard the two words' Stabbing Heart '. He shifted his gaze towards the Assassin.
The Assassin was dressed in black. He was not tall, and he was extremely skinny, just like a monkey. Shifeng found it hard to imagine that the Assassin ranked tenth on the Starmoon Kingdom's Assassin Ranking List, Stabbing Heart, was the 'monkey' before their eyes.
The Assassin named Stabbing Heart shifted his gaze towards Shifeng. After sizing him up, he revealed an expression as if he had found a prey. He then walked up to Shifeng, smiling as he said, "Hello friend, I am Stabbing Heart, the Assassin's Alliance's Assassin Team Leader. Lend me 5 Copper Coins, and I'll return you 20 Copper Coins tomorrow. How about it?"
Stabbing Heart was very unwilling to accept his failure this time. He was only 10 yards away from the finish line, and he had already found a pattern. If he was given another chance, he would definitely pass. Hence, he wanted to use his Guild's name to intimidate Shifeng and have them lend him 5 Copper Coins.
It should be known that the Assassin's Alliance was a very famous large Guild in the virtual gaming world. As long as one was a veteran in the gaming world, they would know of this name. Anyone who could become the Assassin Team Leader was definitely a great god. Many players worshipped them. Ordinary players would definitely beg to hug their thighs and offer them 5 Copper Coins. As for returning the money, there was no need for that.
"5 Copper Coins?" Shifeng thought for a moment before replying, "5 Copper Coins is fine, but I'll return you 50 Copper Coins tomorrow."
Stabbing Heart was immediately flabbergasted. This was different from what he had imagined. He was the Assassin Team Leader of the Assassin's Alliance, the famous Stabbing Heart. Could it be that Shifeng was a noob?
Shifeng looked at Stabbing Heart's silence and asked again, "Do you still want to borrow?"
"Yes." Stabbing Heart wanted to cry. When other players saw him, they would all call him a great god. Shifeng, on the other hand, did not show any reaction. However, when he thought of the generous reward, he did not hesitate to accept the 50 Copper Coins.
"Here's 5 Copper Coins. Let's add each other as friends. Don't forget to return me the 50 Copper Coins tomorrow." Shifeng took the 60 Copper Coins he earned from selling the necklace and gave Stabbing Heart 5 Copper Coins. He did not forget to remind Stabbing Heart to return the 50 Copper Coins.
After receiving the 5 Copper Coins, Stabbing Heart said with a face full of tears, "Okay, I won't forget."
Shifeng did not know what Stabbing Heart was thinking. After completing the transaction, he walked towards the green-skinned Gnome manager.
"Sir, time is money. What business do you have?" the Gnome manager arrogantly asked.
"I want to participate in the Bronze Prize Challenge." Shifeng said as he handed over 5 Copper Coins.
The Gnome manager tossed the Copper Coins, nodding his head in satisfaction. He then opened the wooden door to the Challenge Hall, allowing Shifeng to enter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is now a new challenger who wishes to participate in a new challenge. Please welcome this brave Swordsman." the Gnome manager loudly announced.
"Big Brother Stabbing Heart, that brat who borrowed the money is also participating in the Challenge Hall." the male Cleric reminded.
Stabbing Heart, who was still recuperating, said with a smile, "That brat is purely a noob. Did he think that the Challenge Hall would be so easy? Although it is only a distance of 30 yards, after reaching 15 yards, the Gnomes' attack patterns will change. Their attack frequency will increase by a large margin. Even I would find it difficult to deal with them, not to mention him."
"That's only natural. Even with Big Brother Stabbing Heart's strength, he still managed to reach 20 yards. I estimate that brat will be finished before he reaches 5 yards." the male Cleric nodded his head and laughed.
Within the Challenge Hall, the three Gnomes at the finishing line had already finished their preparations. They aimed their guns at Shifeng, who was at the starting line.
The countdown on the Challenge Hall began to flicker.
