“How could that be?”
Wei Kai chuckled and explained, “This money is just ill-gotten gains; it will be spent sooner or later. Ling Jie is the living spring, capable of continuously generating small amounts of money… ”
“Go, go, go, what do you mean by living spring?”
Tian Xiaoling glared at him in annoyance, then said seriously, “It’s good that you realize that. Even if you get mythical equipment in the future, you must not sell it.”
“Then what should I keep it for?”
“Keep it for bartering,” Tian Xiaoling explained. “If you can use it, prioritize equipping it yourself; if you can’t, keep it to exchange with others for useful items.”
“Oh, thank you, Ling Jie, for the reminder.”
Wei Kai nodded, accepting the advice.
“Oh, right.”
After finishing the main topic, Tian Xiaoling remembered something else: “We agreed earlier that I would buy you a new weapon…”
“It’s fine, going next door is also an option,” Wei Kai replied.
Previously, the two had agreed to go to the Tian Family’s trading house to buy a Level 5 legendary weapon.
However, no one expected to encounter Third Uncle and Liang Gong, among others, and a series of events unfolded.
Now, both of them were outside, and the enraged Third Uncle was inside the trading house.
Since they couldn't go back, going to the official trading house next door was also an option.
“Perfect, you’re a salesperson there, so you can even get a commission,” Wei Kai added with a smile.
“Huh?”
Tian Xiaoling was momentarily stunned, then smiled sweetly and said, “Alright, I’ll use the commission I just earned to buy you a new weapon.”
“Uh…”
Hearing this, Wei Kai was instead stunned.
What was going on… He was clearly letting her take the commission for free, so how did it turn into her paying?
“You can’t refuse!”
Seeing Wei Kai’s puzzled expression, Tian Xiaoling immediately straightened her face and said fiercely.
“Alright.”
Wei Kai spread his hands and agreed with a smile.
A moment later, the two arrived at the official trading house.
Tian Xiaoling was already familiar with the place and quickly led Wei Kai to the Heavenly Character counter.
Then, she opened the computer in the counter and personally selected the best Warrior weapon for Wei Kai.
When she swiped her card, she didn't even blink.
A few minutes later, the new weapon was delivered to Wei Kai’s hands.
Even at this point, he didn't know the exact price of this new weapon.
But after a glance at the new weapon’s attributes, he understood most of it… This thing definitely wouldn’t be cheap!
Roaring Greatsword (Legendary): Greatsword
Level: 5
Physical Attack: 50-80
Strength +20
Armor Penetration +15
When activating “Charge,” there is a chance to activate “Trembling Roar,” causing the opponent to fall into a trembling state, unable to move.
The front attributes of this greatsword were only decent.
But the appended effect was simply too powerful.
Trembling Roar was almost equivalent to a Sword Immortal’s Immobilization Spell or a Daoist Master’s Immobilization Talisman.
Once hit, one could only stand still and endure the Warrior’s Charge head-on.
This one effect alone could transform the Warrior’s Charge skill from a displacement skill into a control skill.
The most terrifying thing was that if one was hit by Charge and their Strength was too low, they might even be knocked flying and fall into a severely injured state.
This was no longer just a simple control skill.
Instead, it was a series of combos, and the kind that could be fatal.
This one effect alone was worth at least…
“Three million!”
Wei Kai silently estimated the price in his heart.
It seemed Ling Jie had put thought into it.
After buying the weapon, Wei Kai also bought a large quantity of alchemy items from the store.
Mainly traps and similar items.
These were powerful tools for solo boss kills, specifically designed for bosses.
Since he wasn't short on money, Wei Kai specifically chose the best kind, spending nearly a million in one go!
After buying these, the two then left the trading house.
“Let’s go, to the Warrior Guild to learn skills.”
Tian Xiaoling smiled and accompanied Wei Kai to the Warrior Guild to learn new skills.
Wei Kai had already decided which skills to learn.
Upon entering the guild, he immediately selected two skill books: Provocation and Whirlwind Slash.
The function of Provocation was actually very similar to “Taunt,” both used to draw monster aggro.
However, the difference was that Taunt had a specific target and could consistently hold aggro, maintaining attraction to the monster.
Provocation, on the other hand, had no specific target; it was equivalent to casting it over an area.
Anyone within that area would be affected.
But the effect of Provocation only lasted for a few short seconds, and if it wasn’t a monster, they would quickly regain consciousness.
So this move was also specifically for monsters, especially small mobs.
Wei Kai learned this skill to attract more small mobs, then use area-of-effect skills or a Charge to eliminate them all.
This was to improve the efficiency of grinding and leveling.
Therefore, the other skill he learned, “Whirlwind Slash,” was an area-of-effect skill used in conjunction with grinding.
After learning the skills, the two went to the Alchemist Association and bought many buff-granting potions.
Then they went to the Daoist Temple and bought some talismans without usage requirements.
Finally, the two arrived at the Support Profession Guild.
Here, Wei Kai witnessed many long-duration buff enhancements, the longest of which was “Fortune’s Favor,” lasting a full seven days.
Its effect was also very simple: to increase Luck.
Luck could affect item drop rates and also the success rate of many life-skill professions, making it a quite important attribute.
Unfortunately, Wei Kai couldn’t use it at all.
Besides that, there were also buffs that increased the five main attributes… but they added too little, making them somewhat useless.
After observing for a long time, Wei Kai still chose two buffs.
They were: “Wayfarer’s Blessing,” which increased movement speed, and “War God’s Blessing,” which increased Strength.
Both of these attributes could directly enhance his combat power, so Wei Kai chose them without hesitation.
However, these two buffs only lasted for one day.
It was already getting dark, and to avoid wasting the buff time, Wei Kai didn’t immediately apply them to himself.
Instead, he would come back tomorrow morning.
After visiting the Support Profession Guild, the sky gradually darkened; unknowingly, the two had been together for most of the day.
“Um… I need to go back.”
After walking out of the guild gate, Tian Xiaoling said softly, head lowered.
“Alright, I’ll walk you back,” Wei Kai nodded.
Half an hour later, the two said goodbye to each other outside West Township Market.
Tian Xiaoling drove her car home.
After seeing her off, Wei Kai didn't rush home, but continued walking forward.
He had a gathering tonight.
The usual spot, the barbecue restaurant.
This time, Wei Kai was treating.
Ten minutes later, when Wei Kai arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Wu Yi and Li Changlin had already been waiting for a long time.
“Kai Ge, you’re finally here! I have good news to tell you!”
Wu Yi excitedly said as soon as they met.
