Flying Snow Robe

Hearing Yan Hua Yi Leng say that she had deduced he would come to the North Gate of Novice Village, Ye Luo was quite puzzled. He stared straight at her, his meaning obvious.

As if she disliked being stared at like that, Yan Hua Yi Leng shifted slightly to the side before saying, "After killing the Toad King, you should have obtained around two pieces of equipment. Although your base attributes are very low, ordinary monsters can't do much to you. And since you became an alchemist, ordinary monsters are even less of a threat. Based on my calculations, after so much time, you should have reached level 8 or 9."

"I'm level 8 now," Ye Luo said. He was slightly surprised, but he also knew that every player needed fixed experience to level up, and monsters gave fixed experience. It was not too surprising that she could guess his level. He continued, "But how did you guess that I would come to the North Gate?"

"Level 8, lower than I expected. It seems you wasted some time gathering herbs. That means you have quite a few pills on you now, which is good news." Yan Hua Yi Leng spoke to herself before answering Ye Luo. "With all four basic attributes at 1, you can only level up through quests in the early stages of the game. Then you would discover the benefits of doing quests. I saw you twice, traveling through the Novice Village. It seems you already know the advantages of taking quests."

"At level 8, the monsters outside the South Gate of Novice Village no longer give bonus experience for fighting above your level. That is something an expert would not want to see, so there was a high chance you would come to the North Gate, since only this place has level 10 monsters and above." Yan Hua Yi Leng continued, "Taking quests and killing monsters at the same time is the most efficient method. You would accept the quest to kill Young Demon Wolves, so I concluded that you would definitely come here."

"Of course, all of that was just speculation. I waited here for half an hour."

"Impressive. You deduced so much from just that information. No wonder Yue Er called you the Strongest Brain." Ye Luo praised her, then changed his tone. "Since Yue Er and the others didn't contact you, why were you looking for me? Were you trying to recruit me into Misty Pavilion?"

"Although you are an expert in real life, that may not be the case in the game. At the very least, you have not grown strong yet." Yan Hua Yi Leng remained as calm as ever despite the sharp glint in Ye Luo's eyes. "Let me emphasize this again. I did not monitor or investigate you. I learned it from your habits when you fought."

The cold gleam faded from Ye Luo's eyes. He said calmly, "It seems Miss Yan Hua knows a little about martial arts too. Go ahead, what did you want from me?"

Hearing Ye Luo's words, Yan Hua Yi Leng frowned slightly. At last, a trace of emotion entered her voice, and she sounded faintly bashful. "I... I came to borrow money from you."

Yan Hua Yi Leng had always been proud and cold, like an aloof goddess among other players. Now that she had opened her mouth to borrow money, it was no wonder she revealed a bashful, girlish side.

"Borrow money?" Ye Luo froze briefly, then found it amusing. "Yue Er and the others haven't contacted you yet, which means we're still strangers. You actually want to borrow money from a stranger?"

"What is strange about that? In Novice Village 0099, you are the richest person, and I need money right now, so I can only come to you." Once the matter was laid bare, Yan Hua Yi Leng returned to her cold tone. "Of course, I know game currency is expensive right now, but name your price and I will do my best to meet it. You can give me your real-life account details, and after you receive the money, trade the Gold Coins to me."

"I'm not short on money, and I didn't enter this game for money..." Ye Luo waved his hand, but Yan Hua Yi Leng interrupted him before he could finish.

"I have a pill formula. Since you are an alchemist, you should need it. I can use it to trade with you." As Yan Hua Yi Leng spoke, she took out a scroll-like page from her inventory space and handed it to Ye Luo.

After pressing confirm in the dialog box, he received the page. He chuckled. "You really trust me. You traded the item to me directly. Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

"Since you said your people could contact me, they must know one of Sister Feng and the others, and they should have a good relationship. Why would I worry that you would deceive me over a mere pill formula?" Yan Hua Yi Leng said calmly. Then she stared into Ye Luo's eyes. "Besides, I know you are an expert. Experts have their own pride and would disdain doing such things."

Smiling slightly, Ye Luo greatly admired Yan Hua Yi Leng's deductive ability. "Tell me, how much do you need?"

"10 Gold Coins," Yan Hua Yi Leng said directly.

Without hesitation, Ye Luo traded her 10 Gold Coins. This time, Yan Hua Yi Leng was puzzled. "You haven't even checked the pill formula. Why did you trade me the money already?"

"Yue Er likes you quite a bit, and the leader of your Misty Pavilion has taken good care of her. What are 10 Gold Coins as a gift to you?" Ye Luo said. Seeing Yan Hua Yi Leng confirm the trade, he asked, "Forgive me for asking, but what do you need so much money for? Is there something in the Novice Village that costs so many Gold Coins? Are you also planning to become a crafting player?"

"Does it take 10 Gold Coins to become a crafting player early?" Although she was asking, Yan Hua Yi Leng's tone was quite certain. She shook her head and began muttering to herself again. "Trading 10 Gold Coins for the qualification to become a crafting player before level 10 is too wasteful, especially since you already took first place. But you probably did not use money to complete the quest. That is rather interesting. Could you tell me the quest process? Forget it, that was a Unique Hidden Quest. Telling me would be useless anyway."

"Tsk, tsk. You still haven't answered me, yet you have analyzed so many of my secrets. Ordinary people would probably feel a lot of pressure around you." Ye Luo half-joked before asking again, "Can you tell me now why you need so much money?"

"I want to buy Novice Clothes," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, then added, "And I need a lot of them, so I need money."

"Novice Clothes?" Ye Luo paused, then muttered softly, "There really are people who need equipment like that. Isn't that a little too..."

As he spoke, Ye Luo initiated another trade with Yan Hua Yi Leng and placed his Novice Clothes in the trade window.

Yan Hua Yi Leng had also noticed that Ye Luo was wearing new clothes. She did not refuse and directly pressed confirm.

Then, before Ye Luo's astonished eyes, the Novice Clothes vanished. No, rather than vanishing, they merged into the Novice Clothes Yan Hua Yi Leng was wearing.

"Thank you." As if she rarely said those words, Yan Hua Yi Leng's voice was somewhat stiff. Seeing Ye Luo's curious expression, she showed him an equipment display:

Flying Snow Robe (Pseudo) (Chest Armor * Spirit Artifact - Common Iron)

Physical Defense: 25-30

Strength: +8

Trait: Each attack deals an additional 6 points of ice damage

Equipment Durability: 150/150

Additional Trait: Bound to player Yan Hua Yi Leng. Cannot be dropped or traded.

Additional Trait: Can be upgraded in rank. Currently requires fusing Novice Clothes to advance in rank. Required amount: 10/1000.

Additional Trait: Can level up along with its owner. Current level: 10.

Required Level: 10

"Another Spirit Artifact. It's much stronger than my Giant Rat Leather Armor." Looking at the equipment display, Ye Luo was stunned. When he saw the conditions behind the rank upgrade, his eyes widened even further. "It actually needs 1,000 Novice Clothes to upgrade. Isn't that too outrageous?"

It was easy for Ye Luo to guess how Yan Hua Yi Leng had obtained this equipment. After all, she had completed the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission, so receiving such a reward was perfectly normal. As for the word "Pseudo" after Flying Snow Robe, that was also easy to understand. This equipment was only at the lowest Common Iron rank and would probably become a true Flying Snow Robe as it advanced.

"Powerful equipment is naturally difficult to upgrade. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy to affect Game Balance?" Yan Hua Yi Leng said calmly. Seeing Ye Luo nod, she continued, "But I have already thought of a way to collect Novice Clothes."

"What way?" Ye Luo blurted out. Only then did he realize that asking so abruptly was inappropriate, and he looked a little embarrassed. "After all, you know this game's drop rate is rather low. Players probably will not sell you their Novice Clothes for a little money. Although Novice Clothes have terrible attributes, they are still better than nothing, and they are important to game newcomers."

"You said it yourself, Novice Clothes have terrible attributes. What if I trade slightly better equipment for them?" Yan Hua Yi Leng asked in return. Seeing Ye Luo fall into thought, she continued, "The tailor shop in the Novice Village sells a type of clothing that adds 3 defense. It is not much, but it is considerably better than Novice Clothes. There should be people willing to trade with me."

"You can buy clothes at the tailor shop?" Ye Luo was stunned, then cursed himself for being an idiot. He had actually worn Novice Clothes for so long.

Seeing Ye Luo's irritated expression, the corners of Yan Hua Yi Leng's lips rarely curved upward. However, she wore a veil, so outsiders could not see it.

"This kind of clothing costs 10 Silver Coins, which is why I need so much money." Yan Hua Yi Leng did not know why she had suddenly explained this to Ye Luo. Then, remembering something, she looked at him. "That pill formula I gave you is a Tier 2 formula. It can increase Strength for a short time, which is very important for us in the early stages of the game. I hope you will trade some to me after you refine them."

"A pill that increases Strength?" Ye Luo was taken aback. With a thought, the scroll turned into a streak of white light and entered his Soul Crystal. Another equipment display appeared after the three words Minor Blood Recovery Pill:

Strength Pill (Tier 2):

Required medicinal herb ratio: 3 Goji Berries, 1 portion of wolf bones.

Pill effect: Temporarily increases the player's Strength by 10 points after consumption.

Duration: Half an hour.

Usage restriction: Cannot be stacked.

"How is it? Pretty good, right?" Yan Hua Yi Leng said. "10 points of Strength is much more powerful than 10 points of Attack. Based on my calculations, in the early stages of the game, it is worth at least 20 points of Attack, because the Strength attribute can knock back or stun monsters and players."

"That's true." Ye Luo nodded. While killing monsters, he had also realized the usefulness of the Strength attribute.
