"How could you do this? It's such a waste! Hurry up and take it back for a refund!" After leaving the Seafood Market, Su Jin grabbed Wang Xian and said with a stern little face.
"I'm not short on money!"
Wang Xian smiled.
Su Jin's current behavior made him very happy. At the very least, Su Mu's lessons to Su Jin about how to conduct herself had been very successful.
"What do you mean, not short on money? I heard everything from my sister. You've been living off your parents at home for the past year and haven't even had a job. How could you possibly not be short on money? Wang Xian, I'll just eat some ordinary crabs. Let's go return them, okay?"
Su Jin looked at Wang Xian pleadingly. She truly did not want Wang Xian to waste money. In her eyes, the money he had just spent must have been what remained from when he sold his house.
Although she was very angry with Wang Xian right now, she hoped even more that he and her sister would get back together. Wang Xian and her sister had been very close, and she did not want them to worry about money after reconciling one day.
"There's no way we're returning them. Just sit tight. We're going home to eat a seafood feast."
Wang Xian stuffed Su Jin back into the cargo compartment, started the vehicle, and headed home.
Thirty-five thousand Dragon Coins—was that a lot?
It was!
In the past, after expenses, it would have taken Wang Xian a whole year to save that much.
But things were different now. Dragon Coins were really, really easy to earn.
More importantly, whether Dragon Coins or the currencies of other countries, they would gradually be phased out.
The Copper Coins, Silver Coins, and Gold Coins dropped by monsters, dungeons, and quests would become the ultimate universal currency.
It was not merely because Copper Coins, Silver Coins, and Gold Coins were universally accepted around the world. It was also because only those currencies would be recognized in places such as Main Cities, Marketplaces, Black Markets, Ghost Markets, and Auction Houses.
That was why he did not feel the slightest bit of heartache over spending Dragon Coins.
As for selling Goblin's Beloved Leather Pants to that young man for fifty thousand Dragon Coins, it was because Dragon Coins were among the last currencies to be phased out. They would not be eliminated anytime soon.
"Hmph!"
Su Jin snorted again and ignored Wang Xian, but inwardly, she kept calculating how much money she had managed to save over the past year.
If her sister and Wang Xian got back together someday and worried about money, she would take out all the money she had saved.
The trip from downtown to Wang Xian's home was not actually very far, but Wang Xian's electric tricycle was so beat-up that it moved very slowly.
The journey home took nearly an hour.
When they entered the village, they ran into quite a few villagers. Seeing Su Jin sitting in Wang Xian's cargo compartment, they all looked surprised.
After exchanging a few greetings with some of the elders, Wang Xian turned his tricycle into an alley.
Just as they reached the entrance, the gate to his home opened.
"You little brat, you still know how to come—"
His mother appeared and reached for Wang Xian's ear, roaring as she did so. But with her hand only halfway raised and her words only halfway out, she spotted Su Jin sitting in the cargo compartment.
"Ahem!"
His mother coughed lightly and said with a broad smile, "My son's back."
"Auntie, I missed you so much!"
Su Jin jumped out of the cargo compartment and threw herself at Wang Xian's mother.
"You're Little Jin?"
His mother had been a little stunned when Su Jin rushed toward her, but once she saw her face clearly, she was immediately surprised.
"That's right, Auntie, I'm Little Jin! Little Jin came to see you! Auntie, did you miss Little Jin?"
After hugging Wang Xian's mother, Su Jin linked arms with her and began acting spoiled.
"Yes, Auntie missed Little Jin too," his mother replied with a smile.
"Mom, Little Jin, why don't you two go inside and chat?" Wang Xian said.
"Alright, let's go inside and sit down while we talk."
Wang Xian's mother and Su Jin headed into the house, while Wang Xian drove the tricycle inside and shut the gate.
His mother and Su Jin had met one summer.
His mother had heard that he was dating someone and had immediately gone to Jinshi City. Su Jin happened to be on vacation at the time, and that was how the two of them met.
Su Jin had lost both her parents at a young age, while his mother had always wanted a daughter. The two hit it off immediately and became extremely close.
"Son, why did you buy so much stuff? Did you buy it specifically for me to kill?" His father appeared, looking curiously at all the seafood in the cargo compartment.
Wang Xian: ...
One of his father's particular traits had really been unleashed!
He checked his father's level and found that it was only Level 5. He really was well-suited to killing these seafood creatures, so he said, "If you want to kill them, go ahead."
"Then your dad won't stand on ceremony!"
As he spoke, his father picked up a Level 4 lobster and prepared to snap its neck.
"Dad, don't rush. Form a party with Mom first."
Wang Xian hurriedly stopped him.
His mother's level was not high either, one level lower than his father's. Besides, he had the Mercy skill, so letting his father kill them alone would be too wasteful.
"Son, your mom doesn't like leveling. It's fine if I level up by myself." His father glanced toward the room and spoke in a low voice.
"Old Wang, what did you say?!"
A Lion's Roar suddenly came from inside the room.
His father's expression changed, and he quickly said, "I said, hurry out here so we can form a party and level up together."
Wang Xian: ...
His mother and Su Jin emerged from the room at that moment.
Seeing that his mother was about to speak, Wang Xian hurriedly sent her a party invitation.
After glaring at Wang Xian, his mother accepted the invitation.
Then Wang Xian pulled his father and Su Jin into the party.
Once everyone had joined, Wang Xian said to his father, "Dad, it's ready. Start killing!"
His father immediately got to work.
"Open your Attribute Panel. Let me have a look," Wang Xian said as he walked over to Su Jin.
Su Jin really did not want to let Wang Xian see it, but seeing that his mother beside her was also extremely curious, she had no choice but to display her Attribute Panel.
Name: Su Jin Nickname: Scumbag May You Die Race: Human Class: Student Age: 18 Talent: Goddess of Luck's Favor (Mythical Grade) Level: 9 Experience: 204/1000 HP: 180 MP: 210 Physical Attack: 16 Magic Attack: 21 Critical Hit: 0 Physical Defense: 16 Magic Defense: 8 Strength: 16 Agility: 17 Spirit: 22 Constitution: 18 Stamina: 16 Free Attribute Points: 45 Skills: None Remaining Deaths: 3
Her attributes were very ordinary, with only her Spirit being relatively high. That was normal, though. Su Jin was something of an academic standout, after all.
But the Free Attribute Points left Wang Xian slightly puzzled. She was already Level 9, yet she had not allocated a single point. He truly had no idea how this girl had reached Level 9.
Her talent was also the same as in his previous life: Mythical Grade.
In his previous life, Wang Xian had only known that Su Jin possessed a Mythical Grade Talent. He had not known what kind of Mythical Talent it was.
At the time, Su Jin had said she would tell him and Su Mu in person, but she was assassinated afterward. As a result, Wang Xian had never learned what Su Jin's Mythical Grade Talent truly was.
Curious, Wang Xian had Su Jin open the talent's detailed attributes.
Goddess of Luck's Favor (Mythical Grade) Attributes: 1: When gaining experience, there is a 30% chance to gain double experience, a 10% chance to gain triple experience, a 1% chance to gain five times the experience, and a 0.01% chance to gain ten times the experience. 2: After killing monsters, receive 100% of the full coin drop amount. When in a party, teammates may also benefit from this effect. 3: When killing a BOSS, item drop rate +30%, with a 0.01% chance for the BOSS's dropped item to increase by one grade, up to Mythical Grade. This remains effective when a teammate makes the kill in a party.
