After reaching Level 5, Su Yu's attribute panel became:
Character: Kexing Level: lv5 Class: Mage Bloodline: Star Bloodline (Legendary) Attributes: Strength: 9, Agility: 9, Intelligence: 32, Constitution: 9, Luck: 10 Spell Power: 54 Health: 120 Mana: 1180 Defense: 40 Spell Critical Strike Rate: 0 Movement Speed: 1.6 Experience Points: 23/5000 Wealth: 7,378,883,860 Psionic Coins Equipment: New Moon Staff lv3 (Rare), Novice Mage Robe lv1 (Rare), Cloth Boots lv1 (Rare), Linen Gloves lv4 (Rare), Goddess's Tear (Epic) Skills: Magic Missile (Rare), Star Point Hand (Legendary)... Invisibility (Rare).
After reaching Level 5, he could also use the Wind Velvet Belt dropped by the Silver Snake.
Su Yu casually upgraded it to Rare quality and equipped it.
Wind Velvet Belt lv5 (Rare)
Defense +10
Backpack Capacity +5
Spell Penetration +5
His backpack had originally contained only 20 slots, so during leveling, he had been forced to throw away a great deal of materials.
Now that he had equipped the Wind Velvet Belt, his backpack capacity had increased to 25 slots, greatly easing his shortage of space.
Once I get to Broom City, there's a quest at the Scarlet Rose Tavern in the south of the city that expands backpack capacity. His thoughts gradually drifted away.
But since he had successfully reached Level 5, the next step was naturally to grind dungeons.
Su Yu first glanced at his friends list.
Skycutter Sword and Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon were both already online, but neither had sent him a message.
Perhaps the earlier incident had made them realize something, and they had begun to be wary of Su Yu.
Su Yu did not privately message them either.
Looking at Skycutter Sword's name, he saw the "lv4" marker before it.
If even an elite player like Skycutter Sword had not reached Level 5, then most other players probably had not either. He still had plenty of time.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, changed into leather armor that increased movement speed, and returned to Nolan Village.
Two minutes later, Su Yu was back in the village.
After returning, he did not rush to grind dungeons. Instead, he first went to the Magic Hut.
At this stage, Fireball Scrolls and Ice Arrow Scrolls dealt too little damage to be of much use.
He remembered the old mage saying last time that he had "brought in a batch of new goods," so Su Yu planned to take a look.
Inside the Magic Hut, Su Yu explained why he had come.
The old mage Pism was overjoyed.
He quickly took out a brand-new exchange list and presented it to Su Yu with both hands as if offering a treasure:
"Young man, these are Tier 1 scrolls I got from the temple at no small cost. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Su Yu took the exchange list and looked it over.
Fireball and Ice Arrow were Tier 0 spells, priced at 50 Psionic Coins each.
This exchange list had many more Tier 1 spells, such as the Fire Spells Rain of Fire and Lesser Fireball; the Ice Spells Ice Spike and Frost Nova; the Earth Spells Earth Shield and Summon Rock Elemental; the Lightning Spells Chain Lightning and Lightning Strike, and so on.
These Tier 1 spells were priced at 200 Psionic Coins each.
"This time, there are quite a few good things." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course! Pism may not be good at much else, but I do have some connections. Otherwise, I wouldn't have managed to snag such a cushy posting in Nolan Village." The old mage looked smug.
"But do you think I'm some fool? The average price of Tier 1 scrolls in Broom City is around 150 Psionic Coins, and you dare charge me 200?!" Su Yu's tone abruptly turned extremely blunt.
Although he was rich and did not care about such a small amount of money, that did not mean the other man could deceive him as though he were an idiot!
Seeing the old mage's outrageously inflated prices, Su Yu was in a very bad mood.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the old mage was shocked. He had never expected Su Yu to know so much about prices outside the village.
He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. "You misunderstand, young man! Nolan Village is far from any major city, and transportation is very inconvenient. Charging you 200 Psionic Coins per Tier 1 scroll is already a very favorable price."
"Cut the nonsense." Su Yu interrupted him bluntly. "140 each. Just tell me whether you're selling or not. If not, I'll go find Sean, the village potion maker."
"140... this..." After thinking for a long time, the old mage finally sighed. "Fine, 140 it is. Consider it compensation for you, young man."
Selling Tier 1 scrolls to Su Yu at 140 Psionic Coins each left him with almost no profit.
But in order to keep Su Yu, this major customer, the old mage still gritted his teeth and agreed.
Thus, Su Yu spent 98,000 Psionic Coins at the Magic Hut to buy 700 scrolls at 140 Psionic Coins each.
Other than Earth Shield, he bought 100 of every kind of Tier 1 scroll.
As for potions, the old mage's exchange list did not have any new ones. Su Yu casually bought 200 Minor Mana Potions to replenish his supply, then concluded the transaction.
After leaving the Magic Hut, he first went to the Warehouse and listed the Light Cloud Round Shield, Slick Scale Breastplate, and the Skill Scroll: Word of Shield dropped by the Silver Snake boss for auction.
At the same time, he listed the unwanted Fireball and Ice Arrow Scrolls for auction at 30 Psionic Coins each.
This also freed up quite a few backpack slots.
After finishing all this, Su Yu expertly found the dungeon merchant Jenny and spent 10 Psionic Coins to buy a Level 5 Dungeon ticket.
With a wave of Jenny's staff, a pale blue portal swiftly opened behind her.
"Hello, adventurer. Which dungeon would you like to enter?" Jenny asked kindly.
There were three Level 5 Dungeons in total.
The first was Green Grassland, a dungeon built around Level 4 wild monsters, Hillside Sheep.
The second was Silver Snake Below Green City Mountain, a dungeon built around Level 5 wild monsters, Silver Snakes.
The third was Thunder Cliff, a dungeon built around Level 6 wild monsters, Fierce Bison.
Of course, the regular monsters inside the dungeons were all Level 5, while the bosses were one or two levels higher.
Given the choice between the three dungeons, Su Yu would naturally choose the easier one.
Su Yu selected Green Grassland on the far left, then stepped into the portal.
A familiar wave of dizziness and weightlessness washed over him, and Su Yu vanished into the Teleportation Array.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing on an endless grassland.
"You have entered the Level 5 Dungeon, Green Grassland." "Dungeon Introduction: A flock of kind goats once lived on Green Grassland." "But no one knew when the goats became afflicted by strange energy, turning violent and aggressive. (200 words omitted)" "Your mission is to storm Sheep Village and eliminate the Village Chief of Sheep Village!"
