"Miss Yun, this contains records of all the supplies we currently have available for exchange. If there's anything you need, you can place an order here. A staff member will then bring over the supplies you selected. You can pay and receive the goods at the same time."

"If you have surplus supplies you don't need and want to exchange them for Copper Coins, you can click here and fill in the relevant information. Someone will come assist you."

This... was so user-friendly, just like ordering food at a restaurant.

But there was no denying it—it was indeed very convenient.

Yun Xi took the tablet computer and began looking through it item by item.

[Potions]

[No. 628 Blood Replenishing Potion: Quickly restores 10 HP and heals wounds. Causes a mild numbing side effect after consumption. (Price: 100 Copper Coins)][Remaining: 26]

[No. 268 Blood Replenishing Potion: Slowly restores 20 HP and heals wounds. Causes mild dizziness and nausea after consumption. (Price: 120 Copper Coins)][Remaining: 12]

[Food]

[Cold Fruit: Fruit containing trace amounts of pollution. It has a cool, refreshing taste and can quench thirst and relieve heat. (Price: 13 Copper Coins)][Remaining: 32]

[Mantou Fruit: Healthy food free of pollution. It has a soft, chewy texture and can replenish stamina. (Price: 30 Copper Coins)][Remaining: 15]

Yun Xi swept her eyes over the list. Many of the supplies were extremely familiar to her from her previous life.

The two Blood Replenishing Potions in particular were the most common healing potions in beginner villages. Ordinary merchants usually sold them in bulk.

It was said that the alchemists who invented these two potions were poor and desperately short of money. Moreover, their alchemy talents were mediocre, so they had generally chosen to sell the formulas for these two potions in bulk at high prices.

On top of that, their side effects were very mild—almost negligible—and their prices were not expensive. As a result, they were very popular among low-level players and became the two most widely circulated Blood Replenishing Potions on the Godfall Continent.

Yun Xi had not expected to see them on Blue Star so soon.

As its name suggested, Cold Fruit was a fruit containing a chill. It was juicy, with a delicious flavor and texture, and could originally be sold at a high price.

However, this was the polluted version. Compared with pollution-free Cold Fruit, its price was a full ten times lower.

As for Mantou Fruit, aside from its soft, fluffy texture, it had basically no flavor. But it was free of pollution, and that alone made it worth 30 Copper Coins.

Coarse Wheat Cake and Pimple Fruit in the system shop were very cheap, selling for only 1–3 Copper Coins. They were also free of pollution, but unfortunately, they tasted so bad that "difficult to swallow" was already considered high praise.

Coarse Wheat Cake did not contain only coarse wheat. It was also mixed with all kinds of dust, pebbles, and other things. Every bite went crunch, crunch, hard enough to crack your teeth.

Pimple Fruit looked like a lump on the outside, but inside was layer upon layer of thick, slimy liquid resembling snot. Not only did it look like snot, it tasted exactly the same.

New players were guaranteed to throw up after eating it once. There were no exceptions.

The other cheap foods in the system shop were much the same. They were all "hidden dragons and crouching phoenixes."

Yun Xi really had no idea how the system shop had collected so many disgusting foods. She strongly suspected that they were old supplies discarded by the native inhabitants of the Godfall Continent, which the system had picked up, "packaged," and put on sale.

But there was no denying that many refugees relied on these foods to survive. Yun Xi had been the same back then.

After all, once the Godfall Continent officially entered open beta, there was no longer a top-up system. Yun Xi could only survive on the one Copper Coin awarded each day by the refugee main quest.

The quantities of supplies on the tablet also refreshed very quickly. The Blood Replenishing Potions, for instance, soon dropped to single digits.

Although the prices set by the official organization were about 20 percent higher than those in the Godfall Continent, everyone could understand.

It was already difficult enough to gather these supplies and bring them back. Besides, the Godfall Continent still had not opened its servers, so perhaps what they were buying now would become priceless treasures in the future.

Yun Xi had no intention of buying potions or food. She continued scrolling down.

[Equipment]

[Beginner Warrior Set (Male/Female): General-purpose Warrior Set, suitable for heights of (170–190/150–170) cm. Carefully stitched from ordinary beast hide, it facilitates a Warrior's wide-range movements and provides a small increase in defense.

(Includes top, trousers, and shoes)(Price: 500 Copper Coins or 4 Silver Coins)][Remaining: 5/3]

[Beginner Sorcerer Set (Male/Female): General-purpose Sorcerer Set, suitable for heights of (170–190/150–170) cm. Carefully woven from Spirit Silkworm Silk, it slightly increases the speed of mana absorption, provides a small increase in defense, and includes a mana-based self-cleaning effect.

(Includes top, trousers, underwear, socks, shoes, and cloak)(Price: 2,000 Copper Coins or 16 Silver Coins)][Remaining: 2/3]

Warrior Sets and Sorcerer Sets?

Looking closely, she saw that the prices differed by a full four times. Compared with the Warrior Set, the Beginner Sorcerer Set included underwear, socks, and a cloak, while Spirit Silkworm Silk should also be more expensive than ordinary beast hide.

If she paid with Silver Coins, she could even get a 20 percent discount. This price was practically the same as that of a tailor shop on the Godfall Continent.

Yun Xi could understand it.

Within the system balance, currencies could not be exchanged upward. Copper Coins could not be converted into Silver Coins through the system, so players could only find a way to do it offline.

Certain supplies on the Godfall Continent could only be purchased with Copper Coins. The official organization could only take this roundabout approach to collect more Silver Coins, lest they encounter something they wanted later but be unable to buy it.

Although obtaining Silver Coins was extremely difficult for everyone, there was strength in numbers. Just because you did not have any did not mean no one else did.

Yun Xi had some.

The Beginner Sorcerer Set was far better than the coarse-cloth outfit she was wearing.

For nothing else, clothing made from Spirit Silkworm Silk had to be very soft.

She directly clicked the plus sign beside the Beginner Sorcerer Set, selected the female version, and clicked confirm.

Next, Yun Xi looked through the supplies in the weapons category.

[A Sharp Large Cleaver: A cleaver primarily used for chopping firewood. Adds 8–10 physical damage. (Price: 150 Copper Coins or 1 Silver Coin)][Remaining: 1]

[Careful Sword: Careful, swords have no eyes. Adds 6–12 physical damage. (Price: 160 Copper Coins or 1 Silver Coin)][Remaining: 1]

[Thunderwood Staff: A beginner Sorcerer's staff made from lightning-struck spirit wood. Adds 3–9 spell damage. (Price: 130 Copper Coins or 1 Silver Coin)][Remaining: 1]

Unlike other supplies, weapons were generally unique.

Yun Xi casually selected a Careful Sword and a Thunderwood Staff.

The Careful Sword was preparation for close combat. Although the Thunderwood Staff's damage increase was not high, even a mosquito's leg was still meat. Perhaps it would come in handy when she was attacking some monster and was only two points short of killing it.
