I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

I can stay here and make a lot of money with Jaffa Arrows, so do I really need to move village?

The reason why Long Xiangtian wanted to move the village was because he wanted to find a suitable hunting ground.He doesn't need to be obsessed with hunting and leveling up, though, since he can earn money by crafting items.

If only I could stay here and craft items
However, there was one thing he still had to consider.That's the fact that Smith is gay!
If I stay here alone with him...Just imagining it is scary.

Long Xiangtian is not in a hurry to go hunting now, but he is still more comfortable living in a village suitable for his level.Finally, he decided to move to Winston as planned, and made his way to the carriage.Just like last time, he began to negotiate the price while carrying the saddest story.

My sick sister is waiting for me in Winston Village.
Oh no!My sister was waiting for me in the village of Winston.Then I leave an hour early.Climb into my carriage!

But now, I only have seven gold
Oh, I thought you were a customer with an appointment.I'm very sorry.

Long Xiangtian's first bargaining failed!
My grandma passed away the day before I was born, and today is her death anniversary.I need to go to Winston Village now, but I only have 7 gold and 50 silver.
Well, I want to help you, because your reputation is very high and your situation is very good, but it is too bad to go to Winston Village for 7 gold and 50 silver.I'm very sorry.

His second bargaining failed.It's the same as humans constantly stepping in the footsteps of other humans.

You should give me a chocolate pie.These people.You should understand that we are all the same!

In the end, Long Xiangtian couldn't negotiate the price he wanted, so he just took the cheapest carriage.

Let's go to Winston.For the money I paid, it should be fast and safe.And be friendly! You should show plenty of enthusiasm.

I'd be very grateful if you didn't speak up.

Traveling is always exciting.The bumpy carriage and the unfriendly attitude of the coachman are not good, but Long Xiangtian is in a good mood!The carriage set off in the afternoon and reached the village of Winston the next morning.The size of Winston Village is unusually large because of its name.It is four times larger than Bailan Village and has a high degree of activity. Winston Village is comparable to the fortified city of Partian City!
When Long Xiangtian paid the coachman 8 gold and 90 silver, he asked the coachman to take good customer service.

I have a question.

you ask me.I will tell you what I can do.

Why isn't Winston called a city?

Originally, it was a village smaller than Bailan.However, there are plenty of places nearby for beginners and intermediate travelers.As these places became more and more famous, the number of people visiting Winston gradually increased.There are rumors that if this trend continues, it will be upgraded to a city in the near future.It is said that the heir of Earl Steem will be appointed as the new lord.It will be called a city at that time, but it is not known when exactly.

Lord Stim?Where have I heard this name?Long Xiangtian had experienced so many things at once, it was hard for him to remember.

Well, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

Now, can I start?
Long Xiangtian went to the warehouse management office.After he told the administrator the registration number and password of his warehouse, the administrator stretched out his hand.The gesture meant to ask Long Xiangtian to give him a tip.

damn it.Do I have to give money just to use the warehouse?Long Xiangtian handed over 30 silver with trembling hands.

The administrator checked the amount and began chanting a spell while drawing a small circle with his magic wand.Then he used space and teleportation magic to summon a small warehouse in front of Long Xiangtian.

The warehouse was empty.Long Xiangtian sold all his japtems in order to buy the medicine needed for Ashur's three-month mission.From the beginning, Long Xiangtian has been playing with satisfaction for a year, but now there is only dust in his warehouse.

Alas. In reality and in games
Frustrated, he opened his inventory.

Jaffa] (3)
[A metal obtained from smelting Jaffa Ore.The ore has low hardness and strength, making it impossible to produce powerful items from it.However, the properties change when mixed with steel.

Weight: 60]
Long Xiangtian wanted to ignore this reality, but these were all the contents of his inventory.So, he tried to put Mamun's great sword and Menger's plate armor into his inventory to reduce the weight of his property.

I haven't authenticated Mammon's greatsword and Mongol's plate armor yet.

The identification skill of the legendary blacksmith, revealing hidden functions of items.Appraisal skills can be used on Mammon's Great Sword or Mongol's Plate Armor, and his understanding will be improved.Long Xiangtian did not hesitate to use identification on these two items.

】【There is no hidden function.

[You have mastered the materials that make up the Great Sword of Mammon, its production method, and the intention of the creator].

[Your understanding of MamonsGreatsword is now 33%. ]
(hidden function does not exist)
[You have grasped the materials that make up the Menger's plate, the method of making, and the intention of the creator. ].

[Your understanding of Menger's Plate Armor is now 65%. ]
Long Xiangtian's current statistics mean that he does not meet the conditions for using Mammon's Great Sword and Menger's Plate Armor.Due to the resulting penalty, Mammon's greatsword's attack power has been reduced by 30%, and Menger's plate armor's defense has been reduced by 20%.However, his comprehension has greatly improved now.

】Due to your class characteristics, you have been equipped with Mammon's great sword.

[Because the item conditions are not met, you will be punished. ]
[The attack power of Mammon's great sword will be reduced by 20%.Only half of the option effects will be applied. ][What is your understanding of the Great Sword of Mammon?
[Your understanding of Mamon's great sword is very high, so the punishment is reduced. ]
[Due to your class characteristics, you have equipped Mammon's plate armor. ].

[Because it does not meet the item conditions, it will be penalized. ].

The defense of Moe'er Plate will be reduced by 8%.Only half of the option effects will be applied. ][Your understanding of Menger plate armor.

[Your understanding of Menger's plate armor is high, so the penalty is reduced. ]
As comprehension improves, punishment decreases.Mammon's Greatsword now has 143~240 Attack, and Menger's Plate Armor has 152 Defense.Although the options are still only half applicable, it's nice to just have less penalties.

However, Long Xiangtian was not unconditionally happy.His understanding of axes and pickaxes is 100%, but his understanding of Mammon's great sword and Menger's plate armor is too low.To be honest, it disappointed him.

It would be nice if it was a little higher.

Well, Long Xiangtian needn't be too anxious.He can improve his understanding by dismantling, repairing, and using items, so that it will be resolved after a long time.

Let's try to fix it.

Currently, Mammon's Greatsword and Menger's Plate Armor have low durability, but Long Xiangtian can use the legendary blacksmith's repair skills to improve the comprehension of these two items.

Then
Need a repair tool].

Ah, need a separate repair kit?

What is a repair tool?Damn! My money! Money!money! .

In the days when Long Xiangtian was a fighter, he had no repair skills, so he always needed to repair items at the NPC blacksmith.Therefore, Long Xiangtian didn't know that there was a need for repair tools.

No wonder repairs are so expensive!
He can postpone repairing items until next time.However, this was a warehouse he had wasted 30 silver to open.If he closes the warehouse and buys maintenance tools, the 30 silver will fly away!OMG!Long Xiangtian couldn't help sighing.

In the end, Long Xiangtian shook off his anger and left Mamun's great sword and Menger's plate armor in the warehouse.Equipment storage fee is 10 silver per item.This is a horrible expense.

the world is a thief
It took 30 silver to open the warehouse, and then spent 10 silver to place an item in it.! Mother's heart is happy, the auction house, and the warehouse manager, in the eyes of Long Xiangtian, they are all liars.

My 50 silver. My 50 silver!

50 silver is 600 yuan in cash.That's enough to buy 200ml of milk, which quenches his thirst and strengthens his bones.Long Xiangtian stored these two things, which were quite heavy.

Cook shook his hands.

Glancing at the warehouse manager who politely bid farewell to him, Long Xiangtian walked towards the square.The square is crowded with people, including novices who have just created characters, and users wearing level 100 equipment.People are moving around in order to adapt to the virtual reality environment.Some are looking for gatherings, some are buying and selling goods, some are sharing tasks, there are also beggars, lovers, and those who simply enjoy the scenery.All types of people saw it.

Long Xiangtian stood there and observed them.Beginner users mainly use Dongjie, while average users mainly use South Street.West Street and North Street are popular with everyone, no matter what level they are.There are NPCs on East Street to do tasks for beginners and guide them to the most suitable hunting grounds.Meanwhile, South Street has quests and hunting grounds for mid-level users.To the west and north are areas covering all grades.Basically, it is an area full of shops.

The blacksmith is likely to be to the west or north.

Long Xiangtian came to this conclusion while observing everyone, and a notification window popped up.

Insight increased by 1].

Insight statistics can be used to detect objects or predict risks.He hasn't seen its performance, though, so he doesn't know if this stat is actually useful.

Well, any increase is good.

When Long Xiangtian was exploring West Street and East Street, he didn't feel any inspiration.However, he then found a blacksmith on Strand.The exterior of the building is large.It was a two-story building, which made it incomparable with the small blacksmith's shop in Bailan Village.Unlike Smith who worked alone in Bailan Village, there seemed to be dozens of blacksmiths working together in this blacksmith shop.

The leader of dozens of blacksmiths should be at least an intermediate blacksmith, right?

If this is the case, he will recognize Long Xiangtian and have a good impression of him.Unlike Bailan Village, Long Xiangtian will learn how to make items in a good environment.

As Long Xiangtian entered the blacksmith's shop excitedly, he imagined the vigorous sound of hammering and the scorching heat.The smithy he entered, however, looked lackluster.He couldn't hear any hammering or any sign that anyone was around.

What?Long Xiangtian looked around in confusion, and saw a big belly man sleeping in a corner with an empty wine bottle next to him.

Grid didn't know if the potbellied man was asleep or dead, so he approached the man quietly and shook him awake.

hey-hey!
Eh?What's wrong?
Fortunately, the big belly man did not die.He made an annoyed look and opened his eyes.

Then he turned to me and asked: What are you doing here?
The old man looked at Long Xiangtian with a mocking expression.This place is long overdue.After the Mero Corporation bought the smithy and business district, they sold items in bulk at low prices, so customers stayed away.But you're here to learn how to craft items?Are you sure you want to perish with me?

Just then the door of the blacksmith's shop opened, and a group of rough-looking people rushed in.

Hey, old man! You haven't decided yet?Will you hand over this building to us?Wouldn't you be able to buy wine and drink every day until you die?
What's the situation this time?Long Xiangtian felt that he was now caught in another troublesome incident.Hey, old man! You haven't decided yet?Will you hand over this building to us?If you do this, won't you be able to buy wine and drink every day until you die?

The man who entered the smithy was rough-looking and well built.They reminded Long Xiangtian of the staff in "Mother's Heart Is Happy".When they handed a piece of paper to the old blacksmith, their attitudes were very heavy.

what is this?
It was a contract to sell the building and land to Mero Corporation.

Long Xiangtian instinctively realized this.If I were to judge by my recent successes and troubles, I would stand here and be involved in a stupid mission.

This must not be allowed to happen.The immediate priority now is to earn money by crafting items.

No time wasted on unnecessary tasks.Long Xiangtian admired his brain's quick thinking and moved his hands to avoid this situation from happening.But how much of it is done according to his wishes?

Grid took only a few steps before he was caught by the gangsters.

Hello, where is this newcomer from?You want to sneak into our business like a rat?They began to question Long Xiangtian intimidatingly.Are you here to steal what's on our contract?You, are you a spy?Did Scanner send you here?
Why was Grid attracted by the contents of that piece of paper?This is really some useless curiosity.

I should have stayed back and avoided looking at them.

Long Xiangtian shrugged, as if he was talking about me, a spy?what are you saying?It's not like that, so don't worry about me.I just want to go my own way.

Still, they continued to put on a tough look.

Swallowed.

damn it.

Long Xiangtian's saliva was dry, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.He remembered his humble days in contentment.

Is it the horrific memory of being a bread shuttle, or being threatened by a teenage gangster NPC in a back alley?Or maybe it's because they resemble the employees in "Mom's Heart Is Happy Financial Services". In short, Long Xiangtian reflexively shrank back from this group of people, he couldn't handle the situation.

I should show it.

Violent NPCs are not afraid of the law.If he even touched these guys, he might be seriously injured or die.Of course, he could report these NPCs to the guards, but these guys' fists are closer than the enforcers.If Long Xiangtian was stronger, or if his speed was fast enough, he might be able to escape from this building.That's not the case, though, so it's best to avoid provoking them.

Judging by their appearance and atmosphere, they are not secretly bullies.They don't just smoke cigarettes and use the bread shuttle.

Mero Corporation is the second largest commercial company in the Eternal Kingdom.They don't give jobs to losers.These bastards are gangsters.

Judging by their gear, they are at least level 35.

Gangsters over level 35! How many people did they hurt and scare in order to level up?Long Xiangtian couldn't imagine all the crimes these people committed.

There are five of them compared to me being level 3.Although my stats are superior to those of the same level, they are all still around level 20.Plus, I'm alone.

To make matters worse, Long Xiangtian was unarmed.If he fights with them, he will only lose.

Yes, let's play it safe and drop my pride.
