Chapter 20

Damn it! This Rhino Warrior Armor looks just like the Black Rhino Warrior from the Kamen Rider series... Or rather, it’s practically a carbon copy!

Jiang Han suspected that the system had directly created it based on that form... He felt that he looked like a full-fledged interdimensional Kamen Rider!

"But it does look pretty awesome."

Jiang Han muttered, and a laser sword instantly appeared in his hand, the pale blue laser matching the armor quite well.

He took a few steps back and forth, feeling no stiffness or discomfort at all. Apart from feeling slightly heavier, it was as if he wasn’t wearing anything.

"Yep, not bad!" Jiang Han nodded in satisfaction. With this Rhino Warrior Armor, his confidence in going to the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge increased significantly!

Putting away the armor and the laser sword, Jiang Han began searching through the Black Iron and Bronze categories of the four major worlds for items that might be useful to him.

After buying the Rhino Warrior Armor, he had 1,462 Dream Coins left. Jiang Han wanted to buy some more items that would be useful to him at this stage.

Over the past few days, he had studied the system extensively and summarized the corresponding exchange price ranges:

Bronze: 1-100 Dream Coins

Black Iron: 100-1,000 Dream Coins

Silver: 1,000-10,000 Dream Coins

Gold: 10,000-100,000 Dream Coins

Legendary: 1,000,000-10,000,000 Dream Coins

Epic: 10,000,000-100,000,000 Dream Coins

Mythical: 100,000,000-888,888,000 Dream Coins

As for the elusive Dream Level, it was unknown when he would be able to unlock it.

From Bronze to Gold, the price increased by a factor of 10, but from Gold to Legendary, it jumped by a factor of 100!

So far, the best item Jiang Han had obtained was the Gold level, the Ice Soul Technique, which could influence his personality, and the laser sword, which could easily cut through or even melt the metal of this world.

The Ghost Step, a fragment of a Legendary item, had already made his movements as swift as a ghost. He couldn’t even imagine how powerful a complete Legendary item would be!

Of course, Jiang Han didn’t expect to be able to exchange for a Legendary item anytime soon. 1,000,000 Dream Coins... It would probably take him a year or two to save up that much.

"Potions are necessary and not too expensive."

Like the previous Golden Wound Pills and Rejuvenation Pills, they were only Bronze-level potions, and were sold by the bottle. A bottle of 10 pills cost only 50 Dream Coins.

Jiang Han bought two bottles of each, leaving him with 1,262 Dream Coins.

"Damn, these potions are expensive..." Jiang Han suddenly saw a potion priced at 500 Dream Coins, and it wasn’t a bottle, but a single pill!

[Great Revitalization Pill] (Potion)

Description: A potion from the martial arts world that restores all injuries and energy consumption within 10 seconds.

Level: Black Iron

Exchange: 500 Dream Coins

"Wow, so powerful!" Jiang Han was amazed. A potion that could restore all injuries in 10 seconds was truly a divine potion, no wonder it was so expensive!

He quickly became conflicted. The potion was good, but it was also very expensive, 500 Dream Coins per pill. It wasn’t just taking a pill; it was like eating money!

After a moment of internal struggle, Jiang Han gritted his teeth and exchanged for one.

Damn it, I hope I never have to use it... Jiang Han decided to keep it as a keepsake for now.

The Dream Coins were spent so quickly... Jiang Han felt a pang of pain as he saw the number of Dream Coins drop to a three-digit number.

"No pain, no gain. I’ll earn it back in the future." Jiang Han consoled himself.

...

"...Dear Dream Coins, you’re leaving me like this... How could you be so heartless..." Jiang Han wailed, looking at the large "10" where his Dream Coins were displayed, his expression miserable.

After the Great Revitalization Pill, Jiang Han also set his sights on a Level 3 magic scroll from the magic world, equivalent to a full-force attack from a martial artist. A silenced Desert Eagle from the mechanical world, along with a bunch of bullets.

With a deep breath, a clenched jaw, and a determined heart... the Dream Coins were gone.

After a moment of mourning for the Dream Coins, Jiang Han equipped the Desert Eagle. On Earth, he had played with guns a lot with his friends, known as the "gun god," almost always hitting his target... Well, actually, they were playing with toy guns, but they were still guns!

With a flick of his finger, the Desert Eagle spun in his hand, and he casually aimed at a tiny, almost invisible hole on the ground.

"Bang!"

Jiang Han smiled and put the Desert Eagle away, glancing at the ground casually. Without thinking, he knew he must have hit it... Thud! Jiang Han’s body swayed, almost falling flat on his face!

What’s going on?

The tiny hole showed no change! His gaze shifted sharply, and he saw the bullet deeply embedded in the ground about a foot away from the hole, with cracks spreading around it... To Jiang Han, it seemed as if the cracks were silently mocking him.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Han’s face instantly turned red, and he nervously looked around, thankful that no one could see him, or he would have been utterly embarrassed.

"Getting old, my marksmanship is declining..."

Jiang Han sighed deeply, stepped forward, and extracted the bullet, putting it in his backpack.

By now, the sky had grown dim, and a faint crescent moon hung in the sky.

Jiang Han calmed his mind and quietly practiced for a while, then heard his mother’s knock, calling him to dinner.

He finished his practice and walked out of the room. The table was already set with food, and his mother sat beside it, smiling and beckoning him over. The simple scene filled his heart with a gentle warmth.

For these past dozen years, the two of them had lived together, always in a simple and peaceful manner.

As for his father?

In "Jiang Han’s" memory, there was never a concept of a father. When he was young and bullied, he would always cry and run home, asking his mother where his father was. His mother would always sadly repeat that his father had passed away.

After a few times, the young "Jiang Han" seemed to understand that his father was dead, and asking his mother about it would make her sad, so he stopped asking about his father.

Over time, he got used to living without a father.

When he grew up, "Jiang Han" always felt something was off. When his mother answered him, her expression was not just sad but also filled with grief and resentment.

This made him suspect that his father might not be dead, but he didn’t dare to ask his mother, fearing that it would make her sad.

"Ah!"

Jiang Han sighed softly, guessing that his father was probably not dead. There must have been irreconcilable conflicts between his father and mother... Perhaps his father had abandoned his mother.

"What are you thinking about? You’ve been holding your chopsticks for so long without moving." His mother scolded him, tapping his bowl.

"Oh, nothing." Jiang Han snapped back to reality, smiled, and lowered his head to start eating.

"By the way, Mother, if... If I wanted to go out and train, you, you..."

His mother wasn’t stupid. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly understood what Jiang Han meant. She smiled and then sighed softly, "You want to go out and train, right?"

"Uh, yes... a bit..." Jiang Han lowered his head, not daring to look directly at his mother.

His mother looked at Jiang Han quietly, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions—love, pride, and most of all, reluctance.

After a long silence, his mother spoke, her voice light, "You’ve grown up, finally ready to fly..."

"Mother, I..."

"Don’t be so nervous, I’m not blaming you." His mother smiled, "It’s a good thing to have such thoughts. After all, you’re a man, and you need to travel to achieve something. Staying in one place won’t get you anywhere..."

Jiang Han felt a lump in his throat. How could he not hear the reluctance in his mother’s voice? But he had to leave; there was no other way.

"By the way, Xiao Han, do you still have your jade pendant?" His mother suddenly stopped talking and stared at Jiang Han.

"Jade pendant? Oh, yes, yes..."

Jiang Han was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly felt in his chest, but his movements quickly froze.

The jade pendant was gone!

The jade pendant was something Jiang Han had worn since he was a child, always around his waist. A few times, due to the family’s poverty, he had wanted to sell it, but his mother had sternly stopped him.

It seemed that the jade pendant was of great significance to his mother!

But how could it be lost?

Jiang Han felt a wave of panic. When did he lose it? Why did he have no memory of it?

Wait!

A flash of insight suddenly came to Jiang Han’s mind, and his memory returned to the day he went to the adventurer’s tavern.

The collision... the black-robed man... the strange feeling... Jiang Han almost instantly realized that the black-robed man had stolen his jade pendant!

No wonder he felt so strange at the time.

Jiang Han was enlightened but quickly became furious.

"Stealing from me, don’t let me see you again, or I’ll kill you!"

Jiang Han had already put the black-robed man on his blacklist. If he ever saw him again, he would not hesitate to act.

But the immediate problem was how to deal with his mother. Although he didn’t care much about the jade pendant, his mother did. If she found out he had lost it, she would be very sad.

"Ah, it’s in my room, wait, I’ll go get it."

Jiang Han hurriedly got up and rushed into the room.
