Chapter 3: Mortgage Loan!
Putting three Inferior Wooden Sticks together, Li Xiang clicked synthesize.
As the three Inferior Wooden Sticks turned into light and converged, a white light appeared.
After a few seconds, the white light dissipated, revealing... a stick.
"Ding! 'Inferior Wooden Stick' synthesized successfully, obtained 'Ordinary Stick'"
Li Xiang picked up the ordinary stick on the ground and immediately checked its attributes.
【Ordinary Stick】
Quality: Whiteboard
Part: Weapon
Strength +1
Physical Attack: 10~14
Durability: 100
Required Level: 1
Restriction: Physical
【Comment: An ordinary stick, can be used for burning wood, has a little attack power.】
"The quality changed from none to Whiteboard, the upper and lower limits of attack power have been increased, and 1 point of Strength was added.
Calculated comprehensively, the attack power is 13~17, doubled attribute bonuses!!!"
"This synthesis is too powerful!!!"
"A Level 1 Whiteboard already has these attributes, how strong would it be if I continued synthesizing?"
"Synthesizing again requires two ordinary sticks, two ordinary sticks require six Inferior Wooden Sticks. Chopping wood for ten minutes yields one Inferior Wooden Stick, so I just need to chop wood for another hour!"
After calculating, Li Xiang was motivated.
Just chopping wood for an hour.
Easy!!!
Chopping wood, picking up wood.
Repeating the action, Li Xiang persisted for another hour.
"Ding! Repeatedly swinging the axe, Strength +1"
Seeing this system prompt, Li Xiang was surprised.
"No wonder the myth official said that there are easter eggs everywhere in the game, you have to be careful!!!"
"Even this can increase attributes!"
After the surprise, Li Xiang couldn't wait to take out six Inferior Wooden Sticks.
Synthesize!
"Ding! 'Inferior Wooden Stick' synthesized successfully, obtained 'Ordinary Stick'"
"Ding! 'Inferior Wooden Stick' synthesized successfully, obtained 'Ordinary Stick'"
As the two prompts appeared, Li Xiang had three ordinary sticks in his hand.
Putting the three ordinary sticks together, Li Xiang excitedly clicked synthesize.
The three ordinary sticks turned into three white lights and mixed together.
Then, the white light turned into a black, eerie light.
After lasting for several seconds, the black light dissipated, revealing an iron stick.
"Ding! 'Ordinary Stick' synthesized successfully, obtained 'Tough Iron Stick'"
【Tough Iron Stick】
Quality: black iron
Part: Weapon
Strength +2
Spirit +1
Physical Attack: 15~20
Durability: 100
Required Level: 1
Restriction: Physical
【Comment: A Tough Iron Stick, has a certain attack power.】
After reading the attributes, Li Xiang grinned.
"The attributes are still very powerful, it even gained a Spirit attribute. As a Level 1 weapon, these attributes are already very good."
Equip it!

【Comment: Very ordinary, a Novice.】
The attack power reached a terrifying 39~44, Li Xiang was surprised.
"black iron grade equipment is already very strong, if I synthesize further, it will be Bronze grade."
"But, just relying on chopping wood will take too long, it's not cost-effective."
"It's time to go out and fight Monsters."
Refusing Wang Qiaofu's request to continue chopping wood, Li Xiang headed towards outside the Village.
After arriving outside the Village, Li Xiang saw that there were still a large number of players killing Wild Chickens.
Although it had been more than an hour since the server opened, the number of players killing chickens had not decreased, but instead increased.
After walking through the crowd of players for a while, Li Xiang found out the reason.
The Level 2 big goose was too abnormal, they couldn't defeat it at all.
Li Xiang prepared to go and see the big goose's style, crossing the Level 1 Wild Chicken area was the Level 2 big goose Monster area.
There were basically no players here, and the few who were fighting Monsters here were all in groups, struggling to attack a big goose.
【LV2. Big Goose】
Quality: Ordinary
Health: 260
Physical Attack: 49~55
Physical Defense: 50
【Comment: This is an ordinary big goose, but I advise you not to get too close.】
Seeing the big goose's attributes, Li Xiang's face darkened.
This game... is there something wrong with the Monster attribute design?!
No wonder everyone who had been to the Level 2 big goose Monster area cursed and returned to the Level 1 Monster area to kill Wild Chickens.
Li Xiang also returned to the Level 1 Wild Chicken Monster area. At this time, a Wild Chicken just refreshed beside Li Xiang.
Li Xiang chuckled, "I'll use you to test how hard my iron stick is first!"
One iron stick fell, bringing a whistling wind.
Bang!
It landed directly on the Wild Chicken's head.
-23
Seeing this damage, Li Xiang was excited.
An hour ago, he could only deal 9 points of damage to the Wild Chicken, and in just a short while, the damage had nearly tripled!!!
The little Wild Chicken started attacking Li Xiang.
-23
The damage was equal!
Li Xiang didn't dare to be careless.
Although his damage was not low now.
But the Wild Chicken had 120 Health, 20 more than him, head-to-head combat was not an opponent.
"This game, is it so difficult to play? Holding a Level 1 black iron grade weapon, still can't defeat a Novice Village Level 1 entry-level Monster?!"
After swinging the iron stick again and smashing off 23 points of the Wild Chicken's Health, the little Wild Chicken's attack also arrived.
This time, Li Xiang was highly focused, and in the instant before the little Wild Chicken pecked him, he dodged.
No damage value appeared from Li Xiang.
Li Xiang's heart settled!!!
He understood the gameplay of this game.
The strong attributes of the Novice Village Monsters were not meant to make things difficult for players, but to let players get used to the operations of this realistic game.
The concept of standing still and fighting in online games must be removed!!!
With this discovery, after being pecked only once by the Wild Chicken, Li Xiang took down the Wild Chicken.
"Ding! Killed ordinary Monster 'Ordinary Little Wild Chicken', gained Experience x5"
5 experience points were credited.
Clatter.
A crisp sound.
From where the Wild Chicken fell, a stick dropped.
Dropped equipment?!
Li Xiang was excited when he saw it.
"Damn! Isn't this an Inferior Wooden Stick?"
He picked it up and checked its attributes.
It was indeed an Inferior Wooden Stick.
"black iron grade equipment is still not enough, it's only barely on par with the Wild Chicken's damage, I need to continue synthesizing!"
Thinking this, Li Xiang's gaze shifted to the chicken-killing army on the scene.
With so many players, how many Inferior Wooden Sticks must have been produced in over an hour?!
After pulling two players to inquire, Li Xiang found out.
The drop rate of Inferior Wooden Sticks from Wild Chickens is extremely high, on average, killing five or six will drop one.
The Village's shop also buys these Inferior Wooden Sticks from players, three for 1 copper coin, which is extremely stingy.
3 for one copper coin!
Li Xiang thought of Wang Qiaofu, who bought one for 3 copper coins. With one transaction, the difference was 8 times!!
Good heavens, the game is truly full of unscrupulous merchants...
"I need to find a way... to get some game currency to buy fire sticks."
A player nearby heard Li Xiang's words and then said, "What do you want fire sticks for? They're useless. If you want money, there's a Money House in the Village. If you have something you can mortgage, you can borrow some money."
Hearing this player's words, Li Xiang's eyes widened.
As expected of a game with extremely high realism, there's even a bank in the Village?!
Li Xiang immediately ran back to the Village, asked a few NPCs, and found the Money House.
There were no players at the entrance of the Money House. At this time, which player would wander around the Money House.
Li Xiang immediately walked in and explained his purpose.
Hearing that Li Xiang wanted to borrow money, the Money House's Lord looked at Li Xiang with a smile, "Of course you can borrow money, but you need something to mortgage, otherwise I won't let you get something for nothing."
Li Xiang directly took out the Tough Iron Stick. The Money House Lord took a look and his eyes widened.
"Level 1 black iron grade weapon?! This... this..."
Li Xiang immediately took back the iron stick and looked at the Money House Lord, "How much can I borrow?"
The Money House Lord thought for a moment, "Although black iron grade equipment is rare, yours is only Level 1 black iron grade equipment, I can only lend you 1 silver coin."
In myth, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10000 copper coins
On the first day the server opened, 1 silver coin was a huge sum of money!!!
"Deal!"
After mortgaging the Tough Iron Stick to the Money House Lord, Li Xiang took the huge sum of 1 silver coin and quickly went outside the Village!
