Hearing Song Jian’s reluctance to trade using RMB, a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Sihai’s face: “Brother, this is making things difficult for me. Doomsday Coins are too hard to earn, and no one wants to trade with them. As for bartering, I’m afraid 1 don’t have anything on me that would interest you…” Zhao Sihai looked at the “Level LV4” above Song Jian’s head and gently shook his head.
“Then there’s nothing we can do.” Song Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and made an indifferent gesture. He didn’t think that other players in the game would have anything that interested him, since their levels were too low.
Song Jian was different from other players. While they were afraid, he had immediately adjusted his mentality. As others hid in their rooms, trembling, Song Jian had already gone out on the streets to hunt monsters with his weapon.
As other players were afraid of pain and unwilling to use their fists to gather wood, Song Jian’s hands were already bloody and ragged, hardly any good skin left on them.
While others dared not leave the novice residential area, Song Jian had driven a car to complete tasks tens of kilometers away.
Even now, there are still many players who play the game casually, but Song Jian knows that this game is more brutal than reality.
In the real world, Song Jian had just graduated and was waiting for an opportunity, yet as an ordinary person with no background or connections, that opportunity seemed distant.
Then this game appeared, and Song Jian realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for was the game! All he needed to do was grasp this opportunity firmly.
Seeing Song Jian’s indifferent contemptuous smile, Zhao Sihai’s face darkened. He had even forgotten the last time he had seen such an expression and what had happened to that person.
Zhao Sihai felt that his dignity had been offended and wanted to teach this arrogant youngster a lesson.
“I know the location of a level 5 Elite Level BOSS. Can I trade that with you?” Zhao Sihai took a deep breath and said reluctantly.
“The location of a level 5 Elite Level BOSS?” Song Jian’s expression changed. He knew that an Elite Level BOSS meant better equipment, better items, and of course, bigger risks.
However, he no longer feared level 5 Elite Level BOSSes.
“Although its level is a few higher than mine, leveling up in this game won’t increase attribute values. Even if it has a few more skill points than me, there won’t be a significant improvement in strength. Facing a level 5 Elite Level BOSS… Hehe~” Zhao Sihai sneered in his heart without revealing it on his face. “What do you want?” Song Jian hesitated for a moment before asking.
“Doomsday Coins!” said Zhao Sihai immediately.
“How many?” asked Song Jian.
“Fifty, no, thirty would do! ” Zhao Sihai quickly changed his answer.
Thirty Doomsday Coins, equivalent to thirty white-quality Zombie materials. If Song Jian were to kill them himself, he would need to kill at least a hundred Zombies to get that many materials. This would be a small fortune for a novice player.
“Thirty…” Song Jian thought for a moment, then nodded. “Fine, but only with a system contract.”
System contracts were part of the game’s trading system. During a trade, both parties could apply to the system for a contract, which would guarantee the authenticity of rhe items being traded.
Song Jian could also have the system verify the information in advance based on the content of rhe trade.
Soon, a trade interface appeared in front of both Song Jian and Zhao Sihai.
Song Jian simply needed to put the thirty Doomsday Coins on it, while Zhao Sihai had to mark the coordinates of the level 5 Elite Level BOSS on the map provided by the trading system. The margin of error could not exceed 3%, otherwise, the system would consider it as deception, and his credibility value would decrease.
It wasn’t long before Song Jian saw a system prompt on the trading interface:
“The information provided by the other party has been system verified. The accuracy is 92%, trading can proceed.”
Song Jian clicked the confirmation button, and his thirty Doomsday Coins disappeared. A virtual map appeared before Song Jian, with a yellow droplet marking the location of the level 5 Elite Level BOSS.
Although the system guaranteed the authenticity of both parties’ trade items, it wasn’t foolproof. If Zhao Sihai lulled the level 5 Elite Level BOSS after the trade was completed, Song Jian would have lost thirty Doomsday Coins for nothing.
After the trade, Zhao Sihai didn’t leave. Instead, he continued to bother Song Jian.
“Can you not trade real money? How about 10,0on RMB for one Doomsday Coin?” Zhao Sihai asked persistently.
Based on Zhao Sihai’s judgment, Song Jian’s attire indicated that he was not wealthy in the real world, or perhaps even impoverished.
Song Jian showed some impatience, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and glared at Zhao Sihai, saying, “No need!”
After obtaining game equipment, each player could choose whether to display it. If they chose to display it, it would show their game outfit; if not, it would show their real-world clothes.
Hunting thousands of mutated Zombies and even personally killing game NPCs had resulted in a faint murderous aura surrounding Song Jian. This glare gave Zhao Sihai a chilling feeling, as if he had met his nemesis.
With a flattering smile, Zhao Sihai bowed slightly and backed away. After glancing at the other players nearby, he took a stone axe from his bag and began to gather wood.
Song Jian greeted Li Ke’er before using his fists to collect rock materials.
Thump, thump, thump-
With each pounding against the hard rock, Song Jian felt a slight pain. Collecting wood no longer hurt his hands, but gathering rock had brought back the pain.
However, this time was much better than the first time he collected wood. At the very least, after a dozen hits, Song Jian’s fists were only slightly red, and the skin hadn’t broken.
With a faint smile, Song Jian furiously smashed the rock under the dumbfounded gaze of the crowd.
Chunks of rock shattered and turned into white light, automatically flying into Song Jian’s inventory. With his bare fists, Song Jian’s mining speed was even faster than those using pickaxes, making others around him envious and red-eyed.
Song Jian soon learned the Mining Skill, increasing his rock mining efficiency by 5%.
At this point, the sky darkened, and there was less than half an hour before nightfall.
