Online games: Starting from an encounter

Xiaochi Town.

When Shen Lang arrived here, it was almost nine o'clock.

However, unlike the previous desertedness, it was much more lively here today. There were already players teaming up to swipe ghosts, and there were quite a few of them, probably players from the same faction.

Shen Lang was not surprised by this.

There are now over 10 million players in Langya City, and Xiaochi Town is not far from Langya City, only an hour away, so someone will always come here.

Shen Lang ignored those players, he turned on the stealth mode and went straight to the depths of Xiaochi Town, where there were relatively fewer players.

Soon, in less than an hour and a half, Shen Lang killed 8 ghosts and finally collected 100 soul beads.

Afterwards, Shen Lang found the witch of Xiaochi Town and gave the soul beads to her.

"Very good, young adventurer, thank you for bringing back these soul beads for me. This is the blood spirit ginseng I promised you. Take it."

The old woman still looked like she was about to die. She trembled as she took out a blood-colored ginseng from her arms and handed it to Shen Lang.

"Thank you, grandma."

Shen Lang hurriedly took the blood spirit ginseng and carefully put it into the wooden box prepared in advance.

Until now, he finally put his mind at ease. It was finally done...

"Grandma, what do you want these soul beads for?"

Shen Lang was in a particularly good mood after getting the last medicinal material as he wished, and asked casually.

"Young man, don't ask too much about things that don't concern you. Be careful not to lose your life."

The old woman glanced at Shen Lang indifferently, and then walked into the broken house tremblingly with a cane.

"It seems there is a secret here..."

Shen Lang blinked and looked at the house with some curiosity.

However, he was not going to go in and investigate now, as it was more important to change his job to a hermit.

"That is... Tianya Wanderer?!"

Just as Shen Lang was about to leave, suddenly, several players came from a distance, and one of them recognized Shen Lang directly.

Shen Lang frowned slightly and turned to look at the few people. There were three men and two women in total, none of whom he knew.

"It's him, what should we do, go up or not?"

"Go up, record a video, and kill him. Our Tiandihui will definitely be famous in Langya City!"

"Then go up!"

"Hey, he actually ran away!"

While the few people were talking, Shen Lang had already turned on the stealth mode and disappeared from everyone's sight.

...

Langya City.

Shen Lang found the old pharmacist again and handed him the recipe.

"How much does it cost to refine this pill?"

Shen Lang asked directly.

"One hundred gold coins."

The old pharmacist held up a finger.

"Why don't you go and rob it?"

Shen Lang stared at the old pharmacist. It was a rip-off to have to pay one hundred gold coins to refine a pill.

"Haha, young man, we are all acquaintances. Can I still fool you?"

The old pharmacist smiled with wrinkles on his face. "Besides, I have a 70% chance of success in refining the medicine. It's really not a lot to ask for a hundred gold coins."

"Seventy percent... So you can't guarantee that it will succeed?!"

Shen Lang gritted his teeth and really wanted to slap the old pharmacist in front of him to death.

"Of course, in Langya City, except for me, they don't have such a high confidence. It's good to have a 50% chance."

The old pharmacist said proudly.

"No, I want a 100% chance! "

Shen Lang gritted his teeth and said.

This is a serious matter, and he doesn't have any extra tiger testicles and blood spirit ginseng to spend.

"Well, 100%... It's not impossible..."

"Just tell me how much it costs!"

"Add another 100 gold coins!"

"......"

"Fifty!"

"......Okay, fifty is fifty."

The old pharmacist hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. If he could get 50, it would be 50.

The two agreed on the price, and then Shen Lang took out all the five herbs, and took out the only 100 gold coins and handed them to the old pharmacist.

He had just killed 8 ghosts, and he had just enough 100 gold coins on him.

"Only five drops of ambergris are enough, and the rest can be converted into 50 gold coins. "

"......"

"You are quite good at calculating, but this ambergris is not valuable now, and it can only be converted into 1 gold coin..."

"I won't refine it anymore! "

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, since we are so familiar with each other, I will help you once!"

The old pharmacist smiled and collected the gold coins and the herbs for refining the aphrodisiac.

"Okay, you can come and get the pills in an hour."

"Okay!"

Shen Lang nodded and left the pharmacy.

...

It takes two hours to refine the pill, which is neither too long nor too short. Shen Lang didn't want to go out to fight monsters, so he just went to the square to walk around.Because the recharge and auction system has not been opened yet, the equipment and gold coins that players have earned cannot be directly exchanged for cash, so there are many players setting up stalls in the square.

Of course, most of what they sell are some second-tier equipment and skills, and it is difficult to find top-quality equipment here.

Shen Lang looked around casually for a while, but didn't get much, but he saw an old acquaintance.

Marco Pineapple, now level 18.

The equipment on Marco Pineapple's stall is relatively better. Occasionally, someone stays in front of the stall, but most of them just look and buy very few, mainly because he is too demanding.

"How is it, is the business going well today?"

Shen Lang walked up and then picked up a skill book, but found that it was the B-level mage skill book I saw last time, and it has not been sold for a few days.

"Hey, who am I, why do you have time to visit the stall and not go to kill monsters and level up?"

The last time they added each other as friends, Marco Pineapple naturally knew Shen Lang's background.

"I missed you so much that I came to see you."

Shen Lang had nothing to do at this time, so he simply sat down next to Marco Pineapple's stall.

"Tsk tsk, if you are being nice to me, you are either a traitor or a thief!"

Marco Pineapple rolled his eyes and didn't buy his tricks at all.

Although he and Shen Lang had only met once, they got along very well, and he made a lot of money last time.

"What kind of nicety is this? By the way, have you found any assassin's equipment and skill books recently?"

Shen Lang asked with a smile.

"I have found a lot, but they are all low-quality stuff, you definitely won't like them."

Marco Pineapple glanced at Shen Lang and casually threw a piece of equipment on the stall to Shen Lang.

It was a level 15 bronze chest armor, which added 40 points of defense and 350 points of health, which looked pretty good.

"This is the best equipment I have here, do you like it?"

Marco Polo said.

"It's a little inferior, but not bad."

Shen Lang glanced at the attributes and put it back on the stall. His current breastplate is silver-level, so he naturally doesn't like this bronze-level breastplate.

"Did you get a dagger?"

"There's a level 15 black iron weapon that adds 25 points of attack. Do you want it?"

Marco Polo said.

"Forget it, don't want it."

Shen Lang shook his head. It was still too inferior. It only had three more points of attack than the Qingfeng dagger, and it didn't recover blood. It was not worth it.

"Don't count it!"

"By the way, Pineapple, how did you get so many equipment by yourself? Is there any trick?"

Shen Lang suddenly asked, feeling somewhat confused.

"......Who said I got it myself? This is a team that got it. We just took turns to set up the stall."

Marco Polo rolled his eyes.

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

"Then why are you always here to set up the stall?"

"What else can I say? We are destined to meet each other. You bumped into us."

"It's quite fate..."

The two of them talked about this and that, and soon, an hour passed, and Marco Pineapple didn't sell a single piece of equipment...

He was really too greedy, and he would take every opportunity to cheat.

"Hello, how much is this skill book?"

Just when Shen Lang was a little bored and was about to go somewhere else to take a look.

Suddenly, a cold and familiar voice sounded in his ears, making him tremble unconsciously.

Shen Lang turned his head and saw a girl in a robe squatting in front of the stall, holding the mage skill book in her hand. Her eyebrows were like paintings, her face was white, and the sun was shining on her face, emitting a faint glow.

This girl was none other than Nan Xi, who Shen Lang had always been thinking about, ID: Luo Xi.

"This... We originally wanted to sell it for 2,000 yuan, but the beauty has a discount, so I'll give you 1,500 yuan, how about that?"

Marco Pineapple glanced at Nan Xi's level and immediately perked up.

Nan Xi is already level 20, and this high-level player is the most likely to make a move, and he always looks down on people.

"Too expensive!"

Nan Xi put down the skill book in her hand, stood up and shook her head.

"Oh, then beauty, give me a price, if it's suitable, you can take it!"

Marco Polo said.

"50 yuan."

Nan Xi pursed her lips and said a price that even Shen Lang was amazed by.

It seems that she is also a good bargainer!

"Beauty, you are going too far, this is at least a B-level skill, you know, skills don't depreciate, just now this brother offered me 1,000 and I didn't sell it."

As he said, Marco Polo looked at Shen Lang and blinked imperceptibly.

Brother, your show has begun!

"......"

Shen Lang was a little confused. How should he act this time?

"You come outOne thousand?"

Nan Xi frowned slightly, and suddenly turned to look at Shen Lang.

At the same time, her eyes flickered slightly, and she felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

On the other side, when Nan Xi looked over, Shen Lang's heart trembled.

"Yes... yes..."

Shen Lang nodded, praying that Nan Xi would not recognize him, but at the same time expecting her to recognize him.

It was really a bit contradictory...

"You are..."

"Are you the wanderer?"

Nan Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized Shen Lang.

"Yes, it's me."

Shen Lang took a deep breath, he encouraged himself in his heart, and faced Nan Xi directly.

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Nan Xi spoke again, her beautiful eyes staring at Shen Lang's face. She seemed to have thought of something, but she was not sure.

"I have seen you, I have seen you on the promotional poster. "

Shen Lang nodded.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two talking about, beauty, if you really want it, 1,000 yuan is enough!"

On the side, Marco Polo interrupted.

"Shut up!"

Nan Xi glared at Marco Polo, and he was shocked. He didn't expect the girl in front of him to be so fierce.

"I mean, do we know each other? !"

Nan Xi's face was cold, and she looked at Shen Lang again, full of oppression.

"......"

"Know."

Shen Lang hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

"It's you!"

Nan Xi looked at Shen Lang deeply and didn't say anything for a while.

And Shen Lang was nervous and uneasy at this time, and he didn't dare to face her eyes.

In fact, he thought about the scene when the two met again many times, but when this moment came, he didn't dare to face it...

"That, beauty, do you still want this book? "

Marco Polo looked at the two of them for a moment, handed the skill book forward, and said hesitantly.

"Yes."

Nan Xi looked at Shen Lang deeply, and finally retracted her gaze, bent down to pick up the skill book, and then turned away.

"Beauty, you haven't paid yet!"

Marco Polo said hurriedly.

"He paid!"

Nan Xi didn't even turn her head, leaving only a back view to the two of them......
