Battle Aftermath

"Hahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm really rich this time!"

After the Death Knight who had come to patrol left, Du Wushuang couldn't help but jump up.

In her hand was a certificate that stated a score of 1,500 yuan.

Seeing Gu Xi looking at her with a puzzled expression, Du Wushuang quickly explained to the Gu Xi.

"1500 yuan! Do you know how much stuff that can buy? At least five pieces of Blue Equipment. I never dreamed I'd ever have a full set of blue gear."

Seeing that Gu Xi remained unmoved, Du Wushuang's excitement gradually subsided.

"Okay, I know you're amazing, you're a genius, but you can't expect everyone to be as strong as you. Do you know how hard it is for us low-level people to earn some money? I usually earn between 80 and 100 yuan per mission. Just the maintenance of weapons and equipment and various supplies cost 50 yuan a day, not to mention other Qi Qi expenses."

"I've been guarding this world for almost a year, and I've only saved 3,500 yuan. This is equivalent to three months of my savings."

Hearing Du Wushuang's words, Gu Xi looked down at the battle record certificate in his hand, which read 5,000 yuan in battle record.

In the end, Gu Xi did not use his own achievements to provoke Du Wushuang, but instead changed the subject.

"Everything's fine now. Do you have some free time to show me around the city?"

"Okay, I'll buy you a drink."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, Du Wushuang laughed happily, her carefree manner making her seem nothing like a girl.

"I'll pack up and leave."

Gu Xi pointed to the sky, and the Death Avatar that had been hovering in the sky turned into black mist and dispersed in all directions.

After Gu Xi looked around again and found nothing missing, he followed Du Wushuang towards the city.

At this moment, Du Wushuang had already taken off the heavy full-body armor she was wearing.

Just as Gu Xi had guessed, Du Wushuang was only a little over 1.5 meters tall. Her long black hair was tied into a single ponytail, and with her round little face, she looked quite like a loli.

"Come over here, let's go get something to eat first. Old Jason's Hidden Injury Meal are only made within an hour after a battle ends; he doesn't make them at other times."

Du Wushuang ran towards Gu Xi while waving to him.

Sitting on the coffin lid, Gu Xi smoothly followed behind Du Wushuang.

"Du Wushuang, I don't think I've seen your mount yet."

"I'm off to mount training. I really envy your necromancers' mounts. You can use any kind of one. You can even fly with a manhole cover. Unlike us, we have to be horse-shaped and learn riding skills and undergo equestrian training."

You mean it's one thing for a rider to learn equestrian skills, but they also have to learn how to ride a horse?

My dog is a real pain in the neck.

"I spent so much money, but I still can't get the 'sprint stop' and 'sprint turn' right."

Perhaps because there was no more fighting, Du Wushuang started talking non-stop once she opened her mouth.

Gu Xi chatted casually, and they soon arrived at the northwest corner of the city.

The battle was over, and many players returned from the battlefield.

Gu Xi noticed that most of the players here were older, mostly middle-aged, but only level 4 and unable to reach level 5.

After a great battle, they walked into the city, arms around each other's shoulders, patting their bellies and laughing happily.

Looking at them, Gu Xi always had the feeling that they had just gotten off work and were about to meet up with friends for a meal.

"Are they always like this?"

"Of course, this is the norm for players. Otherwise, what do you think players are like?"

Gu Xi was stunned. Having just graduated from the academy, Gu Xi had thought that players were serious every day, completing countless tasks and striving to improve their levels.

He never imagined that players would be so relatable.

This allowed Gu Xi to see another side of the player, and he tilted his head, his heart seemingly softening considerably.

"Hurry up, we're almost there. If we don't hurry, we'll miss out."

Du Wushuang, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts. Seeing that Gu Xi's speed had slowed down, she simply dragged Gu Xi and ran in one direction.

When they arrived at a restaurant, it was already packed with players who had come down from the battlefield.

Some of these players were injured, but they didn't care at all. They came over with bandages on, some of which were even stained with blood.

"You wouldn't believe it, but this is the most famous restaurant in the city. We usually eat here. Most importantly, their 'Hidden Injury Meal' can not only restore life and replenish physical strength, but it can also really resolve some of the hidden injuries in the body."

A genius like you probably doesn't know that some hidden injuries can affect the body. Perhaps if you eat a few more bites here, your hidden injuries will heal, and your level will increase on its own.

As they were talking, Du Wushuang led Gu Xi through the crowd. After waiting in a long line, they finally managed to buy the "Hidden Injury Meal" that Du Wushuang had been longing for before the stalls closed.

The Hidden Injury Meal is actually quite simple: a bowl of lime-colored rice, plus some green chunks of meat and dark green insect juice.

When paired together, they have a touch of the charm of the Mouse Wine in the Aryadovi tavern.

Most importantly, they didn't even have a bowl, and they couldn't find a place to sit down and eat. They just wrapped a portion in a lotus leaf, shoved it into Gu Xi's hand, and chased them away.

Gu Xi, who had been pushed out of the crowd, looked at Du Wushuang standing not far away, and only two words came to his mind.

That's it?

At this moment, Du Wushuang didn't have so many thoughts. She had already opened the lotus leaf bag and was eating the rice mixed with dark green insect juice with her hands.

Seeing Gu Xi looking at her, Du Wushuang said excitedly.

"Eat up, this stuff is delicious. Let me tell you, this stuff is only found here. Do you know what kind of worms those are? They are the offspring of Corpse Worm of wandering immortals, all of them have been touched by the immortal energy of wandering immortals."

It's most beneficial for internal injuries and unseen, hidden injuries.

Unless it's a major battle, the city City Lord and the others wouldn't normally take this thing out.

Eat quickly, and after you finish, I'll take you to the tavern. There's sure to be lots of good stuff there this time.

By the way, I saw you collected some white baboon skins before. Do you still have them with you?

"Take it with you."

"Do you have any plans to stay? If not, take it to the quartermaster and exchange it for some good stuff. It's proof of killing the enemy leader, and each baboon skin can be exchanged for a lot of good things."

"Don't wait here, go exchange your things first, or they'll all be taken."
