Chapter 141 The Threat from Tianxiahui

Chapter 141 The Threat from Tianxiahui
Xiao Jie stood in front of the grocery store, cleaning his backpack. Looking at the savings in the backpack growing, he was secretly calculating in his heart.

I killed more than two hundred mermaids in a day, and the various items they dropped filled my backpack to the brim.

The most numerous of them are shells. No one wants them even if you throw them in the store, and you can't sell them for money, but it's a pity to throw them away, so you can only put them in your backpack for the time being.

Based on Xiao Jie's past gaming experience, this thing might come in handy in the future, for example, after unlocking a special reputation, he could shop in a special camp.

Fortunately, this thing can be stacked. More than a thousand shells only take up one grid, so it doesn’t take up too much space.

Although the mermaids killed are all small monsters and will not drop any good things, there will still be some surprises occasionally.

What made Xiao Jie most satisfied was the pearls that were dropped by the mermaid pearl seekers with a small chance of dropping. He had touched the corpses more than a hundred times today and had touched three pearls in total. The store's recycling price was 500 coins per pearl, while the auction house could sell it for 800-900 coins.

The three pearls were put up for auction and I earned more than two taels of silver.

Adding other miscellaneous broken equipment and so on, he made more than four taels of silver.

Adding the reward given by Granny Li, the total is fifteen taels of silver. Even if you deduct the costs of potions, arrows, repair fees, etc., there is still a profit of ten taels of silver.

But it's still not enough. I can still earn one more day tomorrow. I estimate that by then I will have no problem getting twenty taels of silver. At most I can buy a pack horse. That thing runs too slowly. It's okay to hide from bandits, but I'm afraid I won't be able to escape if I meet a pack of wolves.

If there is really no other option, you can only sell the house deed.

Over there, Woyuchengxian had also cleaned up his backpack, and the two of them found the ramen brother who was still setting up the stall.

Seeing the two people coming, Ramen Brother was stunned at first, and then he was shocked, "Fuck, you two level up too fast, one level a day?"

If yesterday could be explained by the high experience I had before, then the fact that I reached level 12 today is totally unexplainable.

"Haha, it's just so-so. I found a good leveling spot. How about it? Are you interested in joining us?"

Ramen brother was surprised: "Brother, you are not kidding me, right?"

"I'm not that bored. The monsters at this leveling point refresh quickly, and it's a bit difficult for the two of us to fight. It would be more comfortable to have another group. I think you're a very down-to-earth person, so I'm asking. If you're not interested, forget it."

"No, no, no, I'm interested, but brother, since you're so open, I'll tell you the truth. Although I'm level 16, my equipment and skills are not that powerful, so please don't despise me."

Xiao Jie was not surprised by this. Even though there was a difference of four levels between them, the purple equipment on the two men alone was beyond Ramen Brother's imagination. If a fight really came to a head, Xiao Jie would be very confident that he could defeat the opponent even without a pet. If he added a pet, it would be a sure win.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you have a horse, it's fine. You have a horse, right?"

After two days of experience, Xiao Jie discovered that running around in the wild with a horse and without a horse are two completely different concepts. If you have a horse, you can just run away when you encounter a monster you can't defeat, but if you don't have a horse, you will die.

There are many monsters in the wild that run faster than humans, especially those four-legged beasts, almost all of which run faster than humans.

When Xiao Jie came to Luoyang Town, thanks to his affinity with wild beasts, he was able to avoid monsters as soon as possible when he encountered them several times. Otherwise, he might have had a hard fight.

So it doesn’t matter that Ramen Brother is a little weak, but if I didn’t have a horse, I really wouldn’t dare to take him out.

"There are horses and horses, you can rest assured about that."

"That's no problem, but please tell me what your specialties are as a warrior so I can plan tactics."

Ramen Brother immediately introduced it.

The warrior profession relies on fists and feet to fight monsters, and the attack type is unarmed attack.

The core skill of a warrior is [Southern Fist and Northern Leg]. When using fist and leg techniques to attack, the warrior can gain an additional 30% damage bonus to agility and strength. This makes the damage of a warrior's fist and leg skills comparable to that of other professions equipped with weapons.

Moreover, Ramen Brother has completed his professional mission and possesses a professional-exclusive skill, [Acupoint Pressing], which can immobilize humanoid monsters.

In addition, various boxing and leg techniques often come with effects such as internal injuries, shock, knockdown, and knockback. It is a profession that tends to be a single-combat control type.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious. The attack distance is relatively short, it has reduced damage to heavy armor, it is also relatively weak against groups of monsters, and it will also be restrained by large units.

Xiao Jie nodded. It seemed that Ramen Brother would not be of much help in clearing small monsters, but he would definitely come in handy against elite monsters or BOSSes.

Mermaids are also humanoid creatures.

"How is it? Is it ok?" Ramen Brother asked nervously.

"No problem, we just need a control."

"Haha, that's great, when are we going?"

"tomorrow morning."

As the three were discussing, Xiao Jie suddenly saw a man walking towards them. He immediately coughed, and the three of them immediately stopped talking.

The person who came was Yun Xiaoke, the small leader of the Tianxiahui.

"Brother, may I have a word with you?" Yun Xiaoke asked politely.

However, after seeing the face-changing skills yesterday morning, Xiao Jie knew very well that this was just a cheap disguise.

"Is something wrong?"

"Brother, you've been promoted very quickly. Are you interested in joining the Tianxiahui? We can take care of each other..." "Not interested." Xiao Jie interrupted the other party directly.

"Haha, don't be so quick to refuse. Actually..."

"I don't have time to chat with you, just say whatever you want to say."

"Ha, brother, you really have good eyes. I'll be frank. I want to buy your upgrade points. I've leveled up twice in two days. I think you must have found a special leveling spot. As long as you share it with me, we can be friends in the future. We in the Tianxia Association will definitely take good care of our friends."

"Haha, I have no idea what you are talking about. The Sunset Plain is such a big place, there are monsters everywhere. It doesn't matter where you level up. We don't have a fixed leveling point, we just fight as we go."

"Brother, this is boring. There are indeed plenty of monsters in this game, but it is difficult to find a suitable place to spawn monsters and level up. After all, the cost of exploration is too high, and you will die if you are not careful.

You two, with just level 10 accounts, can level up, which shows that this leveling spot is very safe. You level up one level a day, which shows that there are quite a few monsters.

How about this, I won’t take it for nothing, I’ll give you a flat price of 500,000.”

Xiao Jie sneered in his heart. Don't say that this leveling point doesn't exist - it will take at most two days. Even if it really exists, are you kidding me with half a million?

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Boy, don't be shameless. Believe it or not, I will bring people to kill you outside the city." Yun Xiaoke's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a hint of threat.

It's the same thing again, a standard gangster look, nothing new.

Xiao Jie was quite familiar with this kind of people - Liu Qiang was one of them at the beginning. This kind of people bully the weak and fear the strong. The more polite you are to them, the more arrogant they will become.

But he is often fierce on the outside but weak on the inside, and he is the first to back down when faced with a real threat.

He suddenly sneered, "So you are threatening me? Haha, are all the young people nowadays so arrogant?

Okay, since you want to die, I can grant your wish. Tomorrow at twelve o'clock noon, you bring your people and I will bring mine, and we will meet outside Luoyang City to fight to the death. See you there.

Of course, if you want to play dirty, that's fine too. Let's offer each other a bounty and see who dies first."

Although Xiao Jie didn't like to cause trouble, he was not really afraid of the other party. The game had its own rules. One couldn't just act recklessly just because he had a high level and a large number of people.

If he really gets angry, he has several ways to kill this guy.

But it costs a lot.

Besides, the Tianxia Association is just a small or medium-sized guild. The president is only level 28 and is not here. The highest-level member of Yunxiaoke’s group is only around level , and they can only be arrogant in Luoyang Town.

If all else fails, I can ask An Ran for help. The other party owes me a favor, so he can at least come to help.

Of course, he wasn't going to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

He calculated that people like Yun Xiaoke only bully the weak and fear the strong, and dare not provoke a tough guy. As long as he shows that he is not easy to mess with, he will most likely scare the other party away.

Of course, if the other party really takes over and wants to fight for real, the worst that can happen is that you can just run away early and change to another map to level up. It's not shameful for us to hide and develop because we are outnumbered and low-level.

It’s not too late to take revenge when you’ve reached a higher level.

However, things did not go beyond his expectations. Yun Xiaoke was indeed stunned by his words.

Yun Xiaoke is just a small leader in the Tianxiahui, and he manages more than a dozen small accounts under him. If the other party really has some big backers behind him, he really can't afford to offend them.

As for offering bounties to each other, he has nothing better to do. He plays games to make money and gain power, not to fight with others.

"Hahaha, don't be angry, brother. I'm just kidding. We are all good citizens who abide by the law. We don't play the tricks of the underworld. We don't fight. Well, since you don't want to sell it, forget it. We'll see you later."

After saying that, he left in despair.

Xiao Jie was not very surprised by this reaction. This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong, and most likely would not dare to provoke a tough guy.

But the toad doesn't bite, but it irritates people. Do you think it's okay if I just laugh it off after threatening me? I will definitely find a chance to kill this guy when I become stronger.

Ramen Brother was worried, "Brother Suifeng, the people from Tianxiahui are not easy to mess with. Do you have any good friends behind you?"

"I do know a few."

"Haha, no wonder. Then I'm not afraid of them. But I still have to be careful outside the city next time. So where were we talking about..."

Xiao Jie did not continue, but said, "Let's discuss it somewhere else."

The three of them came to a private room on the second floor of the inn and continued to discuss tomorrow's leveling plan.

Xiao Jie was just about to arrange tomorrow's tactical strategy for the two of them when suddenly, a face popped out from the wall.

Then, a dark and blurry human figure appeared through the wall. This figure had a translucent texture and floated in the air, like a 3D black shadow.

Look at the shadow above his head.

Ghost (Feng Buping's follower): Level 14, HP 280.
