Gu Fei was fast, but his sword was even faster. One slash after another, Counter Current's face was glowing red. He was still alive after so many slashes. One reason was that Gu Fei was unlucky today and didn't use many enchantments. Two, Counter Current was PvP with a Mage, so he used a lot of equipment that could absorb spell damage, which weakened the enchantments.
Even so, it was only a matter of time before he died if he continued to endure the slashes. At first, Counter Current's guild members thought that Gu Fei would be easily killed by Counter Current if he got close. They didn't expect this to happen. Counter Current was completely passive. Swimming Against the Current was completely passive. He wanted to chant but was repeatedly interrupted by Gu Fei. Every time he sang, it was all for naught.
They looked at each other. Should they help? This was a problem!
Counter Current was the one who suggested the duel. Now that they saw that he was in a bad situation, they immediately helped him. This was no different from slapping Counter Current's face. They hesitated for a moment and finally sighed. They didn't do anything to help.
Gu Fei's sword technique was executed in one breath. He was completely immersed in it and slashed happily. Finally, he turned into a streak of white light and disappeared. Gu Fei's eyes were still filled with regret. Two more strokes and he would have been able to use all three stances of the Tang Saber's Nine Consecutive Interrupting Waves. What a pity! Gu Fei shook his head.
He put the sword back into his pocket and looked at his health. It was so red that it was in the single digits. If he were to swim against the current, he would be able to kill Gu Fei with just a few strikes of his staff, let alone using magic.
"That was close!" Gu Fei sighed. Fortunately, he was doing a bounty quest, so he was wearing the "Windchaser Emblem" and not "Eddie's Emblem". Otherwise, with the additional 6 points of Intelligence from "Eddie's Emblem" and the slightly higher spell attack, Gu Fei wouldn't have the chance to rush out of the fire if his Cinder Tree Thousand Layers Flames burned a few more HP.
Gu Fei reviewed the PvP process and summarized the lessons learned. He took out a piece of bread from his pocket and ate it to replenish his health.
Then, he looked at the few spectators who were drinking and singing by the side of the street. Although their expressions were rather absent-minded, it was clear that they had no intention of fighting with Gu Fei.
"What a good character!" Gu Fei was disappointed. He really hoped that these people had bad character and would jump up to take revenge on him the moment they saw that they were killed because they went against the current.
"Are you guys alright? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. "Gu Fei was unwilling.
The few of them shook their heads.
"Then I'll take my leave," Gu Fei said to the others.
"Wait, brother, what's your name?" someone asked.
"Qianli is drunk," Gu Fei replied.
The man nodded. Then, they watched as Gu Fei left for the Mage Academy.
It was early in the morning, so the academy was relatively deserted. Gu Fei went straight to the NPC teacher who usually taught Mages. Seeing that Gu Fei was already level 40, the NPC teacher took the initiative to ask Gu Fei if he wanted to change his class. Naturally, Gu Fei said yes. As a result, the teacher quickly gave him the Class Advancement Quest. Gu Fei, who was invincible in the PvP arena, was instantly stunned by this quest.
The quest was simple, but it fully exposed the inner world of the game company. This quest could be summarized in one word: money.
There was nothing to do but to pay a class change fee of 200 gold coins.
This wasn't a lot of money, but it wasn't a small amount either. The main problem was that Gu Fei didn't have it.
Gu Fei didn't have money. To be precise, he didn't have 200 gold coins.
In total, Gu Fei only had 37 gold coins, 21 silver coins, and 78 copper coins.
The first two mercenary deals had made Gu Fei rich for a while. It was because of those two deals that Gu Fei hadn't realized the problem of money until now. Otherwise, with his extravagant expenses of eating an apple for every four spells, he wouldn't have been able to last until today if he didn't focus on managing his wallet.
Now, faced with the system's exorbitant demand for the class change quest, Gu Fei realized the insignificance of his wallet.
After leaving the Mage Academy dejectedly, Gu Fei still had the wanted quest hanging on his neck. So, he activated the "Windchaser Emblem" and sent himself back to the Wanted Quest Hall.
Quest complete, reward received. He had experience and money.
Normally, this small amount of money was enough to satisfy Gu Fei. But now, with the mountain of 200 gold coins on his shoulders, Gu Fei suddenly realized how harsh the system was.
"I spent so much time killing a person and almost got myself killed, and all I got is this little bit of money. How inhumane!" Gu Fei complained to another player who was choosing a quest.
This person turned his head and looked at Gu Fei, "Yeah, this quest is extremely risky, and the rewards aren't that great. The price-to-performance ratio is really low."
"No wonder it's so quiet, no one's doing this quest." Gu Fei looked around. The entire hall was empty except for him and the person in front of him.
"That's not it." The person in front of him said, "Did you know? There's a person in our city who loves doing these trash quests. He comes every day to do them. "
"Oh? Have you seen him before? "
"No, I heard it from someone else. I heard that he's a mage. He wears a black robe and his weapon is a sword. He seems pretty strong. You said that he's strong, but why is he so stupid as to do these trash quests? "The person said as he accepted the quest and turned his head to look at Gu Fei. Now that he paid attention, he realized that the person in front of him was a mage. He was wearing a black robe. He then rummaged around in his pocket for a long time and pulled out a purple sword. He held it in front of him and asked, "Are you talking about this sword?"
"No, of course not!" The person said decisively. "Actually, bounty quests are also very meaningful. You see, I'm doing one right now, right? Alright, I've accepted the quest. I'll be leaving first. " After saying this, the person immediately disappeared, leaving Gu Fei alone in the empty hall.
"Money! Where can I get money! "After leaving the hall, Gu Fei was still troubled by this problem. Money was indeed a thing that affected harmony. At this moment, Gu Fei was even grumbling to the young master of the Han Family. The mercenary group didn't even manage properly, and only did business twice!
Thinking of business, Gu Fei suddenly had an idea. Ever since he killed monsters and leveled up, Gu Fei had obtained quite a few items. Because these common items were sold in the auction house, it was very easy to lose money. (See Chapter 100 for the reason. I won't explain it here.) If he wanted to sell these items, he had to set up a stall and sell them himself. Now that Gu Fei was short on money, he had no choice but to become a merchant.
Thinking about this, he went to the warehouse near the city gate and looked into his storage box. After a long time of accumulation, there were quite a lot of items. Fortunately, he had been doing bounty quests every day and had less time to kill monsters and level up. Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough storage boxes.
Gu Fei took out a sack and put the items in the storage into it. Speaking of this sack, it had a long history. When Gu Fei was ranked second in efficiency, the items he obtained every day were counted by sacks. Later, because of a misunderstanding, he threw this sack to June Rain. Later, June Rain used it to carry food and drinks to Moonlit Night City. It wasn't until the tournament started that June Rain returned from Moonlit Night City and solemnly returned the sack to its owner.
From this sack, Gu Fei could vaguely see the days when he worked hard to kill monsters. He was filled with emotion.
Swiftly filling the sack and carrying it on his shoulder, Gu Fei staggered towards the Trade Street. Along the way, he excitedly calculated: 1 piece of equipment for 10 gold, 2 pieces for 20 gold, 20 pieces for 200 gold!
At this time of the morning, every place in the game was very quiet, but there was one place that was an exception, and that was the Second Trade Street.
This street was formed after the official launch of the game. At that time, the players that occupied the Second Trade Street were all veterans from the open beta. The quality of the goods in their hands was relatively high. For most of the new players, they could only lament their inadequacy due to the price. Therefore, the new players could only gradually form a market that suited them according to their own needs. This was the beginning of the Second Trade Street.
The Second Trade Street developed very quickly because the new players were always full of enthusiasm. They were online for a long time every day, and their numbers were much higher than the open beta players. This caused the Second Trade Street to be filled with people selling their goods at all times. Even after the birth of the third and fourth Trade Streets, only the Second Trade Street continued with this enthusiasm.
Players in Cloud City knew that the Second Trade Street was the best place to do business at night or early in the morning when there were fewer people online. Only here was full of life at all times.
Gu Fei had heard of the Second Trade Street for a long time, but this was the first time he had set foot on it. Just like the rumors said, at this time of the day, the Second Trade Street did not change at all. And because of this special time of the day, the players on the Second Trade Street all had a special appearance: they all had a sleepy face.
But upon closer inspection, the sleepy faces were also different. They were mainly divided into two groups. One group had sleepy eyes, but they were full of energy. This group was the type that just woke up and went to play. The other group had sleepy faces and didn't even have the energy to speak. This group was obviously the type that hadn't slept through the night.
Gu Fei walked on the street, looking for a suitable space for his stall. Compared to normal players, Gu Fei's sack of goods was too much. A normal space wouldn't be able to accommodate him.
After walking a quarter of the street, Gu Fei finally saw a relatively large empty space. He immediately took a step forward and put down the sack. With a crash, Gu Fei's goods were all over the empty space. There were even a few that were hopping and jumping to the middle of the road.
"Wow!!!" Countless players' eyes were drawn over, especially the two on Gu Fei's left and right. Their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
Gu Fei's goods were piled up like a small mountain. The two's stalls only had a few items. In comparison, their stalls were too small.
