25: The first item on the equipment list

"Let's not waste time with small talk—same old rules!"

【Sad Fish】 distributed the money first. The BOSS was quite generous, dropping five Gold Coins, exactly one for each person!

Since everyone had just received the system reward for the first kill, their attention wasn't focused on the money right now!

"Let's start with the equipment everyone is most concerned about!"

【Sad Fish】 was a sensible person; knowing what everyone cared about most, he took advantage of the moment when everyone had the most money to auction off this piece of equipment, which was destined to be the most expensive...

【Flowery Feather Boots】

【Bronze Level】

【Foot, Leather Armor】

【Equipment Requirement: 25 Agility】

【Physical Defense +10】

【Magic Defense +5】

【Movement Speed +1】

【Agility +5】

【Durability: 35/35】

(Although the appearance is flashy, the stats are definitely not flashy)

It was truly a top-tier item; this was the first time seeing equipment that increased movement speed!

Moreover, the fact that it required Agility to equip made it even rarer!

After all, if it had a level requirement, one would have to wait a while to equip it!

But with an attribute requirement, having just leveled up and received the free stat points reward...

In an instant, the value of this piece of equipment went up a notch! After all, being able to equip it on the spot versus waiting until level 5 were two completely different concepts.

An Xixi was the most anxious.

Entering "myriad realms online" perhaps released the nature she had kept buried for many years, as she appeared quite lively and cheerful.

She didn't carry herself like she did on television; her main vibe was living as she pleased!

"I bid one Gold Coin!"

Xu Shian raised his hand: "Three Gold, I'll only bid this once!"

It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that Xu Shian's visible money couldn't compete with hers.

Moreover, with his GM talent, Bronze Level equipment wasn't worth him spending too much; he still wanted to buy materials to craft potions tonight, so he stopped increasing his bid.

【Go Against the Current to Form a River】: "Four Gold, I'll only bid this once too!"

Then, he saw An Xixi's eyes light up instantly.

"Then I'll bid five Gold!"

Although she said five Gold, since the whole team was splitting the money, she could get one Gold Coin back herself.

Plus the one Gold Coin from her mom, she effectively only needed to pay three Gold Coins...

After all, it was an internal team, and she was a household name and a big star in the Xia Kingdom. Even though they could see the young lady was determined to get it, everyone didn't have the heart to gouge her!

After paying and receiving the equipment, within ten seconds, they saw her put these 【Flowery Feather Boots】 on her feet.

"Eh? My shoes made the list!"

Hm?

Xu Shian opened the three ranking lists upon hearing this!

The level ranking list and the wealth ranking list were still empty!

A pair of shoes was hanging alone on the equipment ranking list.

First place: Flowery Feather Boots, Bronze Level.

The information was simple; not only was there no information about the owner of the shoes, but even the stats of the Flowery Feather Boots were missing. Everyone only knew it was a pair of Bronze Level shoes!

With the attribute of being on the ranking list, An Xixi found these shoes even more pleasing to the eye! She felt the three Gold Coins were well spent.

Bronze Level could make the list? It seems that equipment must be worn on the body to make the list!

Because the 【Fish Bone Ring】 in his pocket was also Bronze, but it hadn't made the list.

"Stop looking, the second piece of equipment, Fish Bone Bow..."

The scene went quiet again.

Judging from everyone's previous equipment, only Xu Shian and An Xixi used bows!

Weapons have this one benefit: if you don't even have the proficiency, how can you have the nerve to snatch it?

An Xixi glanced at the ram horn bow in Xu Shian's hand and suggested: "How about this, I'll give you thirty Silver Coins each, and this bow will be mine, okay?"

"Fine!"

A Black Iron weapon, and a Black Iron weapon that required level 5 to equip; who knew how many days it would be before it could be used...

Everyone didn't dwell on this anymore!

"Next item, skill book 【Search】"

【Go Against the Current to Form a River】 was struggling with what price was appropriate.

Xu Shian raised his arm first: "I bid 50 Silver!"

At this, the brows of several people on the scene furrowed. If this rule were broken, it would be hard to form this team in the future!

Xu Shian knew this too, so without further ado, he directly activated Stealth!

A herd of alpacas galloped through the hearts of the few people there!

Just how many skills do you have, damn it?

Now, it was reasonable and justifiable for Xu Shian to compete for this skill! No one could find fault with it!

"I bid one Gold Coin!"

Xu Shian continued to increase the bid: "Two Gold Coins!"

【Go Against the Current to Form a River】 weighed the pros and cons.

If he put the skill in the Auction House now, it definitely wouldn't be worth two Gold Coins.

Because everyone had no money...

If we're talking about the future, this skill book might skyrocket in price, but in the short term, players only had that little bit of money in their hands.

Most were still relying on selling junk and materials to NPCs to get meager income!

It was better to wait for news from the Auction House!

The only downside was that the uncertainty was too high!

The Auction House in the Novice Village did not communicate with the outside world; it could only purchase items obtained in this village!

If luck was bad, it was estimated that one would have to wait until reaching the main city to get this skill...

"I give up!"

Xu Shian handed over two Gold Coins and learned the skill he had obtained directly!

An Xixi watched Xu Shian's operation with wide eyes, thinking: You still have skill slots?

It was just that the other party didn't ask out loud. Just kidding, I still have several empty skill slots; do I need to tell you?

Then split the money again...

"Shall we add each other as friends? If there's a BOSS later, we can fight it together?"

An Xixi was the first to jump out and suggest it, and none of them had any objections!

Maybe the temptation wasn't enough, or maybe their character was decent!

Anyway, this first day of contact was quite pleasant for everyone!

Having gained everyone's approval, An Xixi began to actively add everyone as friends one by one.

【Sad Fish】 spoke up first to introduce himself: "My name is Hu Beiyu. If you're missing a Class for a BOSS, or if there are Dungeons later, you can call me to team up! Powerful MT!"

【Go Against the Current to Form a River】: "Chen Jie! You can team up with me too!"

"My turn, my turn..."

"You don't need to introduce yourself!"

An Xixi widened her eyes and puffed out her cheeks.

"Why?"

Xu Shian interrupted at the right moment.

"You are An Xixi, born on August 25, 2007..."

"Yo, I didn't expect to have a fan; do you want me to sign an autograph for you?"

Xu Shian ignored her: "Just call me Shi Chuan; the name is about the same. Everyone has seen my strength. If there are any problems, just find me. Powerful DPS!"

Xu Shian's friend list increased by four friends; even Xixi's mom was added!

Chen Jie: "Getting ready to go back. After grinding monsters for half a day, and then fighting the elite monster and the BOSS, my energy points are almost exhausted!"

An Xixi: "How come? I still have over forty!"

Chen Jie: "I didn't have money yesterday, so I stayed in a tent. The plaza was very noisy, so I only recovered 40 energy points. Today I have money, so I'm going to stay in a single room at the inn!"

Xu Shian replied: "Then you lost out big time. The large dormitory yesterday was empty... I guess everyone went to stay in tents!"

An Xixi: "Eh, the inn you stayed at yesterday? Which one?"

"You Jian Inn!"

"..., not the same one as us. We stayed at the Yuelai Inn!"

"Heh, they're all chain inns across the heavens!"

The few people on the scene were confused, including An Xixi, who was a young person.

Xu Shian was speechless; it was clear their lives were too tense...

When the four of them were preparing to leave, they saw Xu Shian remaining where he was, clearly not intending to leave.

"What's your situation? It's already past four o'clock; if you don't go back to the village, it will be dark soon..."

Because of the restriction of energy points, grinding monsters overnight had no benefits at all!

Therefore, maintaining a regular and strict schedule was clearly more in line with the benefits of wild monster grinding.

"I'm still a few monsters short of clearing my red name..."

An Xixi curiously checked Xu Shian's status.

"You don't have a red name here!"

"Hm?"

Xu Shian opened the status bar and took a look; sure enough, there was no red name, and no slaughter value!

Was this the effect of the elite monster? Or the effect of the BOSS?

One against ten? One against a hundred?

"You guys go ahead, I'll change a few pets before leaving!"

At this, the few people didn't say anything more and left first!

Contract Summoning and the hunter's Tame Pet were two different systems!

Although they didn't understand, it was a chance encounter, so everyone didn't delve into it deeply.
