With a casual pat, the skill book turned into a streak of light and merged into Qin Chuan's body.
"Ding, you have learned the skill Rend LV1 (Black Iron tier)."
After learning the skill, Qin Chuan looked at the equipment in his inventory.
The first was a dagger shaped like a rabbit's tooth.
[Rabbit Tooth Dagger: Black Iron tier, Attack Power +50, Agility +5, Equipment Requirement: Level 5]
Top-tier!
At the Newbie Village stage, fifty points of Attack Power was an extremely high value.
Most importantly, after being doubled by Sniper God, this Attack Power would become utterly terrifying.
The only flaw was probably the level requirement of five. Qin Chuan could not equip it yet.
But that was no big deal. With Rend, Qin Chuan's damage had increased again. He could now challenge higher-level Wild Boars, and his leveling speed would not slow down at all.
It might even become faster!
Next item.
[Wild Rabbit Leather Armor: Black Iron tier, Defense +20, HP +200, Equipment Requirement: Level 5]
This equipment was also a considerable improvement for Qin Chuan. He put no points into Constitution at all, so even at level five, he would only have 190 base HP. This leather armor directly added two hundred more, so he definitely had to keep it.
He had Infinite Stealth, but he still had to prepare for the unexpected.
"Three of the five drops from the BOSS are useful. My luck really has improved."
Qin Chuan thought to himself.
In his previous life, he had never been this lucky.
"Things are looking up, things are looking up."
Qin Chuan looked contentedly at the next piece of equipment.
[Rabbit Sinew Longbow: Black Iron tier, Attack Power +50, Agility +5, Level Requirement: 5]
Essentially, it was the ranged version of the Rabbit Tooth Dagger.
"At this stage, players can only carry one type of weapon. There's not much point in keeping this bow. Dragon Soaring World has an Archer under him. If the price is right, I can sell it to him."
By the middle and late stages of Apocalypse, every player had mastered all manner of combat skills.
That was because, by then, Apocalypse had moved beyond the scope of an online game and completely become the real world.
And in the real world, there were not so many rules restricting equipment usage.
Qin Chuan had seen Priests wearing full plate armor, swinging hammers even more violently than Berserker Wars while shouting about winning people over with virtue.
But at this stage, Apocalypse was still a game, with all sorts of class restrictions.
If possible, Qin Chuan wanted to equip both the Rabbit Tooth Dagger and Rabbit Sinew Longbow at once. His Attack Power would be outrageous, and his damage would explode.
Unfortunately, that could not be done for now, so he could only give up on the idea.
Of course, Qin Chuan could also keep the longbow and sell the dagger.
But as he had said, there was little point. It was not yet time for him to kite enemies.
Wasn't it better to hide and throw flying knives?
Collecting his thoughts, Qin Chuan looked at the final piece of equipment.
[Rabbit Bone Shield: Black Iron tier, Defense +50, HP +100, Strength +5, Level Requirement: 5]
Qin Chuan directly sent the Rabbit Bone Shield's stats to Dragon Soaring World.
The next second—
"Boss, name your price. As long as you say it, I'll pay it."
"Boss, say something!"
"Bro, you're my brother. You have to save this equipment for me!"
Qin Chuan secretly laughed.
Just as he remembered, this was Dragon Soaring World—he had principles, just not many.
He casually replied, "I need gold coins. How many do you have?"
Apocalypse could be linked to a bank card, allowing players to receive cash directly without worrying about the flow of funds being traced. Its security was absolute.
But Qin Chuan did not need that much cash for the time being. What he needed more was gold coins.
Because there was a quest that could only be activated by holding a certain amount of gold coins.
Upon receiving the reply, Dragon Soaring World immediately typed in the team chat, "How many gold coins have we bought?"
Divine Flame Priest Light Snow replied, "Boss, since several other guilds are also planning to buy the equipment in Night Roaming God's hands, and monsters at this stage only drop one or two copper coins at most, so..."
Dragon Soaring World interrupted, "I only want the result."
"Yes, Boss." Light Snow quickly reported, "We offered five Yan Country Currency per copper coin. We've collected 15 gold so far, spending more than 750,000 Yan Country Currency."
(1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins)
Dragon Soaring World nodded and said calmly, "Increase our purchasing efforts."
Before he could finish speaking, another message popped up in the chat window.
It was a screenshot of the Rabbit Sinew Longbow's stats sent by Night Roaming God.
Dragon Soaring World immediately forwarded it to the Archer in his team.
The Archer was so excited his mouth twisted crooked, and he looked eagerly at Dragon Soaring World.
Dragon Soaring World laughed. "Look how anxious you are. I'll buy it too. Since Night Roaming God is willing to send me the equipment stats, it means he is inclined to sell the equipment to us first. So we can't be stingy either—we have to offer a high price! Light Snow, buy as much as you can. Don't worry about funding. I still have some savings."
Light Snow thought to herself that her boss was truly too modest.
That was not merely some savings.
She then led people to the Newbie Village to buy in-game currency.
Taking advantage of this time, Dragon Soaring World hurriedly tried to build rapport with Night Roaming God.
This man was absolutely someone worth relying on. He had to hold on tight.
Dragon Soaring World asked, "Boss, what price do you have in mind? I have 15 gold on hand right now, but the other guilds are also making moves. We can probably collect forty gold coins at most."
Qin Chuan calculated it. Based on the current market, one gold coin was worth 50,000 Yan Country Currency.
Forty gold coins meant nearly two million, perhaps even more.
At this stage, players produced too little currency, and several guilds were buying at once, so prices were bound to rise.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Chuan replied, "I won't ask too much from you. One fixed price: thirty gold coins for both pieces of equipment."
Dragon Soaring World agreed without even blinking.
He did not care about spending money.
If a little over one million could improve his team's strength and earn Night Roaming God's goodwill, it would be an incredible bargain.
Dragon Soaring World had good foresight. He knew Apocalypse would inevitably become the leader of the global gaming industry. His early investment would yield returns tenfold, even a hundredfold, in the future!
Of course, in Dragon Soaring World's mind, none of those returns mattered as much as establishing a connection with Night Roaming God.
Without question, Night Roaming God would surely take the route of soloing BOSSes in the future, and he had the ability to do so.
The high-grade equipment in his hands would only grow more numerous.
As long as he built a good relationship with Night Roaming God, wouldn't that mean he would have more and more equipment as well?
"With Night Roaming God's help, Dragon Soaring Dynasty will definitely become Apocalypse's number one guild!"
Dragon Soaring World was brimming with ambition.
But as a result, the presidents of the other guilds could no longer sit still.
They had sent friend requests to Night Roaming God, but none had been accepted. They could not contact him, nor did they know what equipment he had.
But judging from Dragon Soaring World's reaction, he definitely had extra equipment.
Knowing there was top-tier equipment out there but being unable to get their hands on it was maddeningly frustrating.
One guild president wanted to probe for information.
But Dragon Soaring World was far too shrewd to expose himself. He put on a troubled expression and said, "Ah, I can't get in touch with Night Roaming God either. What should I do?"
Then he turned around and raised the price for buying in-game currency, clearly determined to get it.
From within the shadows, Qin Chuan nearly laughed out loud.
This guy really was a born actor.
