Two-Star Martial Artist! Purchasing Equipment!

The monsters attracted by the flesh and blood of the Second-Level Demon Beast Black-Armored Savage Bull froze in shock.

Seeing Lin Chen descend from the sky before them, they instinctively bared their teeth and launched a charge.

Yet as Lin Chen casually slashed with his Demon Blade,

dozens of rapidly approaching monsters didn't even have time to react before their bodies instantly shattered into pieces.

The remaining monsters were so frightened at the sight that they turned tail and ran.

Damn it! I used too much force, they're all smashed to bits!

Lin Chen let out a low grunt.

He glanced down at the ground covered in shredded flesh.

Without time to dwell on the waste, he gave chase at top speed.

Wherever he passed, hands rose and blades fell, blooming flowers of blood in the air.

[Ding! Killed First-Level Demon Beast x10, Qi-Blood Value +1!]
[Ding! Killed First-Level Demon Beast x30, Qi-Blood Value +3!]
[Ding! Killed First-Level Demon Beast x60, Qi-Blood Value +6!]
[Ding! Used Mad Demon Slash x100, Proficiency +10!]

After slaying the final monster,

Lin Chen slowly came to a halt.

Looking at the blood-soaked Demon Blade in his hand, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

At the city gate,

Old Zhang the driver waited by the car as usual.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he glanced toward the gate from time to time.

Yet after nine round trips, he still hadn't seen that fellow.

Could he be dead?

Old Zhang frowned and involuntarily shook his head slightly.

As the sky grew dark, nearly all the Martial Artists who were going to return had already done so.

Those who hadn't returned were mostly buried outside the city walls.

Old Zhang sighed, feeling that the kid was a pity.

Just as he was about to get in the car and leave, some movement stirred at the city gate.

As the setting sun dipped below the horizon, a long figure dragged its shadow as it sprinted over.

Unlike yesterday, Lin Chen's Combat Suit was completely spotless today.

If one smelled closely, there was even a faint scent of soap.

"Kid, you didn't... go to the dangerous zones today?" Old Zhang asked.

"No, I found a cool spot and fell asleep," Lin Chen got in and found a seat: "By the time I woke up, it was already dark, so I hurried back!"

Pfft!

As soon as those words came out, some Martial Artists inside the vehicle couldn't hold back.

That included the team of four who had mocked Lin Chen that morning.

"Hahaha, are you trying to crack me up? Other people go outside the city for tempering, and you go to sleep? Hahaha!"

"We really do see weirdos every single year. I bet you didn't get killed by monsters out there, but scared to death! Hahaha!"

"Who is this guy? Probably just a One-Star Martial Artist. Going outside the city in that gear is just asking for death!"

"Who cares? Time to sleep, I'm so exhausted, big brother give me a hug!"

Hearing the jeers of these attractive men and women,

Lin Chen felt a wave of secret delight inside.

He thought to himself that as long as he kept a low profile, why worry about not living long?

Glancing at them, he closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this scene, Old Zhang also spread his hands.

It was his first time encountering such a cowardly Martial Artist.

Still, being experienced and worldly, he didn't care anymore.

Seeing that everyone had basically arrived, he started the vehicle and drove away.

After sleeping for about half an hour,

Lin Chen got out of the car and headed straight for the roadside alley.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at Old Li Exchange!

His outfit for today consisted of a duckbill cap, a face mask, and a gray hoodie, while his lower body wore jeans and white unknown sneakers!

He was even carrying a bag of snacks in his hand!

He looked just like a junior high school student who was curious about the Warrior Association!

Even a shrewd person like Old Li didn't recognize Lin Chen at first!

"Kid, what are you looking at at the shop door? Get back and do your homework!"

"Boss, it's me..." Lin Chen took off his face mask and put it back on.

Old Li: "..."

Old Li, having recognized his identity, swallowed hard and said:

"Kid, it's you, heh heh... I almost didn't recognize you!"

"Did you come here today to take a look... or..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen had already entered the room.

After deftly closing the door.

A large pile of monster carcasses appeared inside the room, which even included a second-level demon beast black-armored savage bull!

Seeing this scene, Old Li was dumbfounded!

He glanced at these monsters and said:

"Did you kill these today?"

"They're still warm, hurry up!" Lin Chen sat on the sofa to the side and poured himself a glass of water.

Old Li looked at Lin Chen, who was wearing a duckbill cap before him, and couldn't help drawing a sharp breath!

Thinking this kid seems to be a ruthless guy!

However, abiding by the rules of trade, he didn't ask any more questions.

He still nimbly sorted and calculated the prices!

Finally, after taking a few careful looks at the second-level demon beast black-armored savage bull listed separately.

Old Li took off his bloody gloves and said:

"353 first-level monsters are worth 1.765 million, and one second-level black-armored savage bull is twenty thousand, making the total 1.785 million. Would you like to check it?"

"No need, settle the bill!" Lin Chen took out his warrior badge and spoke!

Old Li didn't dawdle either, quickly settling the account.

He already regarded Lin Chen as a intermediate-level customer!

Even though all the ones he sent over were first and second-level monsters.

Yet he always felt this kid would bring him a surprise one day!

"Take care, welcome next time!"

After leaving Old Li's shop.

Lin Chen came to the weapon trading hall again.

The hot-girl salesperson guarding the front of the door saw a customer arrive!

She then familiarly stepped forward to greet him and said:

"Little brother, what would you like to buy? We have everything here, oh!"

Little brother?

Lin Chen's expression under the face mask froze.

He glanced at the hot-girl salesperson who hadn't recognized him and then nodded!

This time he was no longer strapped for cash!

As soon as he entered the shop, he generously bought a full set of alloy battle armor, worth five hundred thousand!

His card's total balance was 1.965 million, and with five hundred thousand deducted, 1.465 million remained!

That still wasn't enough!

Lin Chen bought another combat skill!

Gale Shadowstep! Priced at 100,000!

Since it was a movement-type combat skill, the price was a tiny bit more expensive.

However, Lin Chen, flush with cash, didn't care at all!

With the battle armor and combat skill packed up, he settled the bill and left!

"Welcome your next visit..." The hot-girl salesperson bowed and saw him off!

"Only 1.365 million left... money really flows like water!"

After coming out of the Warrior Association.

Lin Chen looked at his balance with some emotion.

However, these were all necessities, so spending a bit of money was only right!

After all, one's little life was the most important!

After buying these things, Lin Chen headed straight for the neighboring Martial Dao Store!

As the name implied, this was a place for Martial Artists to buy things!

Inside were all kinds of tonics, such as the Qi-Blood Pill!

Of course, the Qi-Blood Pill belonged to the cheapest tonic here, priced at 3,000 per pill!

In the past, after receiving his monthly salary, Lin Chen.

would come here to buy a Qi-Blood Pill for his younger sister!

Now that he had money!

Lin Chen naturally wouldn't short his younger sister on nutrition.

As soon as he entered the shop, he took ten Qi-Replenishing Pills!

Each Qi-Replenishing Pill was priced at 30,000!

It was a full ten times more expensive!

Yet its effect was also twice that of the Qi-Blood Pill!

This came to 300,000!

Then Lin Chen picked another one hundred cans of Monster Meat Canned Food!

Each can of Monster Meat Canned Food was worth 5,000!

Its meat quality came from a Third-Level Demon Beast, considered a fairly good category, used to replenish a Martial Artist's stamina!

The flesh and blood of first and second-level demon beasts were almost inedible, and could only be used as raw materials for medicinal ingredients!

This came to 500,000!

The balance was 1.365 million; deducting 800,000 left 465,000!

"This money really doesn't last long!"

Exiting the Martial Dao Store, Lin Chen was full of emotion!
