Trade

Satisfied?

How could you satisfy me?

Wang Xian thought for a moment, then said to the young man, "Ten skill books, not counting this Healing Technique. As long as you bring out another ten skill books, you can take this weapon."

"Really?"

The young man's eyes immediately lit up.

He really couldn't get ten Gold Coins for the time being, but skill books were another matter.

The skill books dropping now were generally basic skills for each class. Although the drop rate was extremely, extremely low, he still knew some people who had them. He only needed to buy those skill books from them.

"I'm not in the mood to lie to you."

Wang Xian took out his phone and checked the time before adding, "You have three hours. Once the time is up, I'm leaving."

"Alright, bro, wait for me! You have to wait for me!"

The young man stuffed the Healing Technique skill book into Wang Xian's hand, immediately pushed through the crowd behind him, and ran off.

After the young man left, someone asked, "Bro, can we trade ten skill books for that weapon too?"

Wang Xian glanced at the man, waved the skill book in his hand, and pointed at Goblin's Beloved Leather Pants on the ground. "That young man has already reserved the weapon. If you have ten skill books, though, you can take this piece of armor."

Though the people around them were somewhat disappointed, they left with excited looks on their faces.

If they couldn't get the weapon, the armor was pretty good too.

Wang Xian put the weapon back into his backpack, leaving only Goblin's Beloved Leather Pants on display.

One group left, and another arrived. Wang Xian was truly tired of explaining everything to every group, so he simply wrote a few words on the sign with a pen.

Then Wang Xian started browsing the Forum.

There were plenty of interesting things on the Forum. Some people could spam posts so hard that you had no choice but to admire them.

After browsing the Forum for a while, he found nothing worth paying attention to, so he closed it and opened the new functions unlocked upon reaching Level 10.

Wang Xian was no stranger to these functions. After all, in his previous life, he had practically worn them out from checking them so often. That was why he hadn't immediately checked those functions after reaching Level 10 earlier.

Wang Xian first opened the Leaderboard Function. There were two leaderboards: the Dragon Kingdom Ranking and the World Ranking.

Each leaderboard was further divided into the Level Ranking, Pet Ranking, and Equipment Ranking.

Wang Xian directly opened the Dragon Kingdom Level Ranking.

First Place: Sword Twenty-Three, Level 12, Sword Saint.

Second Place: Chen Yu, Level 12, Warrior.

Third Place: Du Yangping, Level 12, Archer.

Fourth Place: Long Aotian, Level 12, Dragon Warrior.

Fifth Place: Qin Zheng, Level 12, Emperor.

Sixth Place: Immortal King, Level 12, Priest.

Seventh Place: Lin Feng, Level 11, Mecha Master.

Eighth Place: Shadow, Level 11, Assassin.

Ninth Place: Burning Heaven, Level 11, Mage.

Tenth Place: Wind and Clouds Rise Again, Level 11, Mage.

After not leveling up for one night, Wang Xian had fallen from first place on the Level Ranking to sixth. However, he didn't care. He had never cared about such things in the first place.

Besides, with Mercy and Sage, he would catch up in level very quickly.

There were quite a few "acquaintances" of Wang Xian's on the leaderboard.

Long Aotian, the president of Dragon Domain, the number one guild in Dragon Kingdom.

His growth experience truly lived up to his name, full of legend and utter bullshit.

Qin Zheng, the president of Dynasty, the third-largest guild in Dragon Kingdom.

It was said that he was a descendant of Qin Shi Huang. As for whether that was true, no one knew. His class was quite special. Not only did it grant him a Hidden Profession, but it also came with a special class: Dragon Suppressing Guard.

Dragon Suppressing Guard was a Warrior-type class. It was stronger than ordinary Warrior classes, but somewhat weaker than hidden Warrior-type classes.

Lin Feng, the legendary Mecha Master.

He was one of the people most worshipped by the men of Dragon Kingdom.

Mechas were every man's romance!

That saying was more than just talk.

Mecha Master was one of the trigger-based professions. Lin Feng was not the only one who possessed it; other countries had them too.

As for why they had become Mecha Masters, that had to do with their hobbies.

Before Blue Star underwent Datafication, these Mecha Masters had all built mechas of their own.

Of course, those mechas had been toys. But under the effects of Datafication, their mechas had been enhanced—or rather, transformed through data into real mecha equipment.

Shadow was likely the future master of Killing Life Pavilion, the number one assassin organization in Dragon Kingdom. His class was Killing God.

But from the looks of it now, he had not successfully changed classes yet.

As for the rest, Wang Xian didn't know them, especially Sword Twenty-Three in first place. He had never heard of him in his previous life.

After closing the Dragon Kingdom Level Ranking, Wang Xian opened the World Level Ranking. It was filled entirely with Level 13 players. First place was Rhode Fielding, the one who had triggered the world announcement, and his class was Paladin.

Wang Xian only gave the rest a casual glance before closing the leaderboard.

He didn't know any of them!

Wang Xian did not check the Pet Ranking or Equipment Ranking. There was no need to look; they would definitely be empty. Only Legendary Grade pets and equipment could make it onto those leaderboards.

Two hours later, the young man who had made an agreement with Wang Xian appeared before him, panting heavily.

"Bro, take a look and see if these skill books work. There are fourteen in total, and three of them are duplicates." The young man took out a stack of skill books from his backpack and handed them to Wang Xian.

"They'll do!"

Wang Xian flipped through them and found that they were exactly as the young man had said.

"Bro, where's the weapon?"

Only then did the young man notice that there was only the leather pants in front of Wang Xian, with no weapon in sight. His expression changed slightly as he hurriedly asked.

Wang Xian smiled faintly, took out the Giant Wolf Fang Club from his backpack, and tossed it to the young man.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The young man hugged the Wolf Fang Club and repeatedly thanked Wang Xian.

"No need. This is our transaction."

After putting away the dozen or so skill books, Wang Xian looked at Goblin's Beloved Leather Pants on the ground and asked the young man, "Do you want this equipment?"

"I don't have the money," the young man said helplessly.

Of course he wanted it, but he truly couldn't afford it.

"Fifty thousand Dragon Coins, and these leather pants are yours," Wang Xian said.

"Really?"

Delight appeared on the young man's face.

"Really!"

Wang Xian nodded.

Without another word, the young man took out his phone and said, "Can I transfer it?"

"No problem."

Wang Xian took out his phone.

He scanned the code and paid in one smooth motion.

"Bro, let's add each other as friends," the young man said after paying.

"No need. I'll be leaving Ji City soon. We probably won't have a chance to meet again."

Wang Xian refused the young man. The young man was only Level 8, and Wang Xian truly had no interest in adding him as a friend.

"Oh."

The young man was very disappointed.

Wang Xian ignored him, got up, and headed toward where he had parked his electric tricycle. It was time to go home.

Among the crowd, an ordinary-looking person watched Wang Xian's departing back, pressed the Bluetooth earpiece beside his ear, and said quietly, "The target has left Central Square. Initial estimate: five minutes until arrival."
