Duke Kirin

"Yeah, I can guarantee that. You won't have to worry about any hidden drawbacks with this legendary equipment purchased from me. It won't bring you any negative effects, either. Everything will be stated in the purchase contract, so you don't need to worry."

Yun Xi finally relaxed after hearing that.

She was mainly afraid that the equipment was stolen goods. If it brought her trouble, it would be a terrible loss.

In the end, Yun Xi chose to pay in installments.

Three hundred monthly installments, or around twelve years. She was going to be saddled with an "accessories loan."

There was no helping it. Blue Crystal was too precious, and taking it out would attract too much attention.

When the Enchanter heard Yun Xi's choice, he fell silent for a while, but ultimately agreed.

Before long, the Enchanter arrived at the Enchanting Accessories Shop.

He wore a black robe. Yun Xi couldn't see his face, only the white hair spilling from beneath his hood, gleaming with a lustrous sheen.

The other party had prepared the purchase contract in advance and laid it out before Yun Xi.

The shop assistant was even on high alert, directly closing the shop and activating the shop's highest-level defensive spirit array.

This was a major transaction involving 120 × 300 Green Crystals. Yun Xi didn't dare to be careless. She read through the contract several times, and after confirming that everything was correct, signed her name.

The contract was established, and the money and goods changed hands.

Yun Xi directly sent the Enchanter the transfer details. Her system balance automatically exchanged for 120 Green Crystals and transferred them to his account.

After paying this month's installment, Yun Xi received the Black Mist Stone Earring with the Anti-Scouting property.

Black Mist Stone was a special material that Yun Xi had only heard of for the first time.

The bottom of the Black Mist Stone Earring was made of metal, with a completely black gemstone set into it. Looking closely, one could see a hazy, gaseous substance flowing within.

With the contract in place, Yun Xi wasn't afraid that the other party would tamper with the deal. The earring was definitely genuine, so she didn't bother holding back and put it on directly.

After putting away the contract scroll, Yun Xi greeted the Enchanter and prepared to leave.

"Wait. Do you want to take on a quest?" the Enchanter asked at that moment.

Yun Xi paused mid-motion.

"What kind of quest?" Yun Xi immediately thought of the situation preventing this Advanced Enchanter from leaving. Could it be related to that?

"It's an intermediate quest," the Enchanter said tentatively.

"No. My strength doesn't meet your requirements." Yun Xi refused outright.

Come on, she was only Level 5. No matter how many benefits there were, she couldn't obtain them without the strength to back them up.

The Rebirth Divine Stone could revive her, but resurrection would weaken her Spirit Attribute.

To a certain extent, the Spirit Attribute was even more precious than the Black Mist Stone Earring.

"All right, then. We'll talk about it another time." The Enchanter didn't press her. He merely looked at Yun Xi with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

After leaving the Enchanting Accessories Shop, Yun Xi touched her earlobe.

She found it somewhat unbelievable that she had successfully bought the legendary accessory with the Anti-Appraisal Skill property.

She hadn't missed the Enchanter's final words.

Qinglan Town might be hiding some secrets. It was just that she still lacked the qualifications to get involved.

She glanced at the sky. It was probably already three in the afternoon.

There were still three hours before dark. That was enough.

Yun Xi continued moving between the local shops in Qinglan Town, focusing mainly on the Rune Shop and Potion Shop.

Among all the Rune Shops and Potion Shops, she didn't encounter another situation like the Enchanting Accessories Shop. The goods sold there all met the town's normal standards and were exclusively low-level supplies.

Considering that potions and runes were consumable items, Yun Xi bought more of them.

[No. 346 Spirit Replenishing Potion: Quickly restores 50 Spirit Energy without side effects][Price: 30 Silver Coins][Remaining Stock: 16]

[No. 12 Blood Replenishing Potion: Quickly restores 50 Health without side effects][Price: 45 Silver Coins][Remaining Stock: 12]

[Low-level Blast Skill Rune: Deals 200 points of blast damage to enemies.][Price: 26 Silver Coins][Remaining Stock: 26]

[Low-level Levitation Skill Rune: Applies "Levitation Spell" to the target, granting it the ability to float and fly. Flying speed is twice the target's own speed. Duration: 10 minutes.][Price: 32 Silver Coins][Remaining Stock: 19]

No. 346 Spirit Replenishing Potion and No. 12 Blood Replenishing Potion were precisely the potions the village chief had given Yun Xi earlier. At the Official Bookstore, Yun Xi had also bought their formulas.

Unfortunately, Yun Xi didn't have time to study the Apothecary profession for now, so she could only buy some potions for her own use.

Among the dazzling array of low-level runes, Yun Xi chose the Blast Skill Rune and the Levitation Skill Rune.

The Blast Skill was a fire-element spell capable of concentrated attacks. It also dealt double additional damage to monsters.

The Levitation Spell was suitable for escaping and could also help her deal with special terrain such as swamps and pools.

Yun Xi bought out the remaining stock of all four types of supplies. This was something she had always wanted to do in her previous life but had never been able to.

Haha.

After returning to her small home on Filan Street, Yun Xi sorted through the supplies she had bought that day.

There was a series of books, two types of potions, two types of runes, and the most important and expensive item of all—the Black Mist Stone Earring.

Yun Xi read through all the Spirit Books with the "burn after reading" property.

Afterward, the contents of the Spirit Books were automatically imprinted in Yun Xi's mind. She could study them whenever she wanted.

Only some ordinary books remained. They were all related to the basic information of the Shuyu Plain.

There were still several hours before the official end of the second closed beta test. Yun Xi wasn't in a hurry to log off, so she began flipping through the ordinary books.

The first was Shuyu Plains Basic Text. With her current photographic memory, Yun Xi only needed to flip through it once to understand all its contents.

Then she opened Shuyu Plains Basic Introduction, and Yun Xi could finally understand what she was reading.

First, the Shuyu Plain was occupied by three duchies. The Qinglan Town where she was located belonged to the Duke Kirin's State as a fourth-class town, and its mayor was a duke-appointed viscount.

There were more than ten thousand towns like Qinglan Town in the Duke Kirin's State, while fifth-class villages were even more numerous.

Above Qinglan Town were more than a thousand third-class cities, over a hundred second-class main cities, and the sole first-class capital.

The Duke Kirin's State occupied an extremely vast area. Its climate was relatively humid, and it rained frequently, so it was rich in mushrooms and Green Silk Vegetable.

Besides the Duke Kirin's State, Shuyu Plains Basic Introduction also briefly introduced the circumstances of the other two duchies.

At the same time, it placed particular emphasis on the fact that, within the entire Godfall Continent, the Shuyu Plain was merely a drop of water in the vast ocean. It urged all readers to maintain a reverent heart toward the Godfall Continent.

Yun Xi naturally understood this.

Finally, the book's author had even slipped in some personal promotion by placing an advertisement inside.

[Where there is a will, there is a way. The Duke Kirin's State is publicly recruiting talented individuals. Those who meet the requirements can obtain a ducal title.
