A Low-Level Noob, a Dirt-Poor Loser

Xiao Fan suddenly realized.

That makes so much sense; he couldn't refute it.

He'd never even heard of an aircraft!

"Is she absolutely dependent on a flying vehicle?" Xiao Fan asked, frowning.

He wanted the Millennium Ginseng Fruit, but he truly didn't have a flying machine.

Besides, the game doesn't have a flight system, so even if he wanted to get a flying vehicle, there was no way to do so.

Qian Juduo nodded.

"That's what that player said yesterday, but..."

"There's no such thing as a flying machine in the game. Everyone's guessing that the flying machine is just a gimmick, and this player's real goal is to lure out powerful players who are interested in the Millennium Ginseng Fruit so they can exchange it for what they really want."

"I see."

Etc!

Xiao Fan gasped.

Skilled players interested in the Millennium Ginseng Fruit...

Oh no! This is definitely aimed at him!

He's the best!

"Let's go take a look," Xiao Fan decided immediately.

The player Trading Market occupies a Qian Juduo area. Qian Juduo led Xiao Fan for seven or eight minutes before arriving at the place where the player had set up a stall yesterday.

As soon as he arrived, Xiao Fan saw a large crowd gathered in front of one of the stalls.

Qian Juduo's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the crowded stall and said to Xiao Fan:

"That's it. Looks like we're lucky; the female stall owner is still there today."

The two hurried to the stall, only to find they were still a step too late.

The female vendor, nicknamed "Crush Your Bird," is handing a fruit to a player opposite her.

Xiao Fan ate two of those fruits; they were very familiar to him.

It is indeed Millennium Ginseng Fruit!

The male player across from me who was buying the Millennium Ginseng Fruit appeared to be in his early twenties, dressed in a full set of red equipment, and holding a level 80 purple weapon.

This outfit may not necessarily indicate someone's status, but it definitely suggests wealth.

Just as the male player's fingertips were about to touch the Millennium Ginseng Fruit.

"Stop! Let go of that spirit fruit!"

Xiao Fan shouted.

Instantly, all the players around focused their attention on Xiao Fan and Qian Juduo.

With so many people watching, Qian Juduo awkwardly forced a smile and waved to the crowd.

"Hello everyone, we're here to buy things."

Xiao Fan's sudden voice startled "Crush Your Bird," who instinctively withdrew the hand holding the Thousand-Year Human Fruit.

The male player who bought the Millennium Ginseng Fruit was named Ling Xiao. The transaction was interrupted, and he turned around in dissatisfaction. When he saw Xiao Fan's face, he was first surprised.

What a young face!

This was the first time he had ever seen such a young player in Dragon City.

Their identity must be quite extraordinary.

But...

Ling Xiao glanced at Xiao Fan.

He had absolutely no equipment on him.

"Turns out he's just a poor loser."

Ling Xiao made his judgment in the blink of an eye.

Players wearing a full set of equipment of green or higher will have their heads glowing.

Those who make it to Dragon City through their own abilities will have a blue glow above their heads, no matter how poor they are.

Weapon appearance is the simplest way to determine a player's level. Different levels create weapons with different appearances. Generally, players will carry their own weapons no matter where they are.

The poor guy in front of me had neither light nor weapons.

Combining this with his youthful face, Ling Xiao came to a conclusion.

A newbie, after changing their game coordinates at the Reality Login Administration Bureau, ends up in Dragon City.

Things are different now; the country no longer restricts the level of players entering Dragon City.

Nowadays, not all young players who come to Dragon City have a powerful background.

Some are simply reckless and suicidal.

Just like the player in front of me.

"That's incredibly audacious," Ling Xiao thought to himself with a cold laugh.

Xiao Fan felt a little embarrassed for interrupting someone else's transaction.

However, he does need the Millennium Ginseng Fruit. If all else fails, he can exchange it with the other party or buy it from the buyer.

In Xiao Fan's view, there is nothing that Core Power cannot buy. If there is, it means that Core Power is not enough.

And he! Not only does he possess Core Power, but he also has something even more valuable than Core Power.

Xiao Fan was just thinking about how to ask to buy the Millennium Ginseng Fruit when the buyer walked up to him in a few steps and arrogantly spoke.

"What do you think you're doing, you lowly rookie and poor loser?"

"Low-level?"

"Newbie?"

"Poor loser?"

Xiao Fan almost laughed in anger.

Is level 80 considered low-level?

The number one on the Combat Power Leaderboard is called a newbie?

Holding billions of Core Power and calling yourself a poor loser?

Great! This jerk has successfully angered him!

Xiao Fan initially felt a little apologetic, but that vanished the moment the man spoke.

He glanced coldly at Ling Xiao, then turned to look at the Crush Your Bird.

"What are your conditions for selling this Millennium Ginseng Fruit? Name your price, I'll take it."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the seller Crush Your Bird. He glanced at Ling Xiao, his expression somewhat troubled.

"But... I already agreed to sell this Millennium Ginseng Fruit to this player."

"Did he pay?" Xiao Fan asked.

"No, not at all." The Crush Your Bird " shook their head.

Xiao Fan: "That settles it then. The transaction isn't complete until he pays. Millennium Ginseng Fruit, I'll give double!"

This is what it means to be rich and powerful!

Xiao Fan's heart was bleeding; he silently prayed that the man's demands wouldn't be too high.

Hahahaha.

Ling Xiao laughed exaggeratedly, his laughter carrying seven parts mockery and three parts disdain.

Seeing Xiao Fan's face darken, Ling Xiao's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Xiao Fan with icy eyes and a mocking tone.

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

"Double the price? Do you know what I'd offer in exchange for this Millennium Ginseng Fruit?"

"Tell me," Xiao Fan said calmly.

"I'm using..."

Ling Xiao was speaking when he seemed to remember something and swallowed back what he was about to say, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Forget it, the conditions I'm talking about are things a newbie like you would never even encounter in your lifetime. Telling you would probably scare you to death."

Ling Xiao's unusual behavior made Xiao Fan realize that something was amiss; the deal involving this Millennium Ginseng Fruit was probably not as simple as it seemed.

"Oh?" Xiao Fan chuckled, twirling his finger inside his ear.

I'm all ears.

Qian Juduo stared at Ling Xiao in disbelief.

This guy is pretty brave!

If Jiu Chen can be called a novice, then how many people dare to call themselves experts?

Xiao Fan's nonchalant attitude was nothing short of mockery and offense in Ling Xiao's eyes!

How dare a complete newbie like him!

If it weren't for the rules in Dragon City that forbid players from fighting, brawling, and killing within the city, he would have shown him what cruelty truly meant!
