Chapter 8

Now, gold coins are in high demand but hard to come by. However, on the trading platform, they are all listed at a 1:1500 ratio. Even at an 80% discount, if Lu Li hands over this skill book to the Star Moon Guild, he can still get nearly 25,000 real-world currency.

This amount of money is enough for him to rent a small apartment in a nearby garden community and find a decent school for his sister.

As for Beijiu Duzhuo (Cup of Wine, Drinking Alone)?

Square Root of Three offered a higher price than Hongtu Baye (Grand Ambition), and it could also offset this week's gold farming task. Lu Li had no reason to refuse, after all, he and Beijiu Duzhuo had no particular friendship.

However, Beijiu Duzhuo was not disheartened and still said enthusiastically, "Brother Lu Li, let's add each other as friends. If you have any good equipment in the future, don't forget to contact me. I hope we can cooperate again."

Lu Li felt a bit embarrassed and quickly confirmed the friend request.

Aojian (Proud Sword) and Yejiushiqian (Money is Everything) were left with no face, so they found an excuse and left in a hurry. Square Root of Three was responsible for the transaction of the skill book and went offline to have the finance department transfer the money to Lu Li.

25,000 real-world currency!

This is almost the monthly salary of a white-collar worker at the elite level.

In addition, Lu Li gave one of the bronze equipment he obtained from the treasure chest to Square Root of Three. When he lost all his equipment, Square Root of Three had given him a dagger and supplies, and promised to return a weapon with attributes, so he naturally would not go back on his word.

Monte's Scythe (Bronze): Damage 15-23, Strength +1, Required Level 4, Durability 12/18.

This weapon has very high damage, which is extremely useful for early leveling. Even the calm and composed Square Root of Three couldn't help but be moved.

After the transaction, Lu Li logged off. Proper rest is crucial for professional players, and Lu Li didn't want to ruin his health like he did in his previous life over a few months.

The next day, he woke up to find that his sister had already gone to school.

Lu Li could only wait for her to come back to tell her that he had earned money and they could finally move out of this low, dilapidated house.

First, he went out for a run, checked the balance in his bank card, then came back, had breakfast, and logged in. By the time he went online, it was already morning in the game.

The game and real time are 1:1, but the game's night is fixed from midnight to 8 AM, and the rest of the time, regardless of wind or rain, it is still daytime.

Speaking of rain, when Lu Li logged in, it was indeed raining in the Shadow Valley.

Raindrops fell, covering the sky, and the rain was continuous.

After repairing his equipment and buying a few loaves of bread, the person who had just made a small fortune set out on his leveling journey again.

By this point in the game, high-level players are likely at least level 4, with some striving for level 5. Lu Li wasted a lot of time with the Supreme Ring, practicing, and opening the treasure chest in the lake. Moreover, the Thief class is not particularly good for leveling, so it's no wonder he was lagging behind.

Already at level 3, continuing to farm the Nightblade Leopards was inefficient, so he planned to farm the level 4 Jungle Cubs.

As he was walking, Lu Li suddenly noticed that a patch of grass ahead was unnaturally sunken.

There's a thief!

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took two steps back, preparing to enter stealth mode.

Unfortunately, before he could activate the skill, he heard a wind sound behind him.

A short dagger emerged from the void, its edge glowing white, clearly using the Thief's starting skill, Shadow Strike.

Players using Shadow Strike in smart mode won't be stunned, but it will cause 100% damage. With a wolf in front and a tiger behind, Lu Li was in a very dangerous situation.

Without hesitation, Lu Li rolled to the side, trying to turn around as he rolled.

Even if he couldn't dodge the attack, this would at least prevent the Thief from attacking from behind.

In the future, even beginners would understand that it's best not to leave your back to a Thief, as the 30% bonus damage from behind is no joke.

The dagger pierced Lu Li's shoulder, dealing over 30 points of damage, which was quite terrifying at this stage.

System: You have been attacked by "Wufawutian" (Lawless). You have 10 minutes to counterattack!

He rolled up and immediately ran.

Nonsense, with no skills, two Thieves stabbing each other is all about who strikes first, let alone with another Thief still hidden. If he were stunned by a stealth skill, he would be dead without a trace.

"Damn, stop him!" The attacker didn't hesitate, chasing after him and stabbing with a small dagger.

Because stealth reduces movement speed by 30%, the other Thief also stopped stealth and ran, waving his dagger and chasing after Lu Li.

Due to the attack, Lu Li's speed was reduced, and the two Thieves were about to catch up to him.

He began to feel desperate, wondering why Wufawutian wanted to kill him and if he would have a chance to retaliate in the future.

At that moment, a figure swooped in, colliding with one of the Thieves with great momentum. The Thief didn't fly away but was stunned on the spot.

Charge!

This is the Warrior's Charge skill!

Two quick slashes, and before the stun ended, the Warrior's shield slammed into the Thief's face.

Smack, another stun!

Two more quick slashes, and the attacked Thief fell.

At this point, Lu Li and the other Thief finally reacted.

But the outcome was no longer in doubt. Two against one, and one of them was a skilled Warrior. The surviving Thief was quickly defeated.

Then, Lu Li stared in amazement at the Warrior.

Not because Night Elf Warriors are rare, okay, Night Elf Warriors are indeed peculiar. This race has higher Agility and Intelligence attributes but average Strength and Constitution, so few people play Night Elf Warriors.

Nor was it because the Warrior used two rare skills.

The reason Lu Li was stunned was simple: he recognized this Warrior.

Okay, he recognized him from his previous life.

Weilan Haifeng (Blue Sea Breeze)!

The same Weilan Haifeng who, in his previous life, was the unfortunate owner of the Supreme Ring.

"Brother, are you stunned?"

"You're the one who's stunned."

This was the first conversation between the "hard-luck brothers" after they met again.

"Brother, I saved your life, how about recognizing me as your big brother?"

"I'll return the favor in the future. By the way, this is for you," Lu Li waved his hand and tossed a ring.

Steadfast Ring (Bronze): Damage 2-6, Constitution +3, Requires Strength 8, Durability 20/20.

Lu Li kept this ring and didn't sell it, intending to give it to this person. After all, he had taken the Druid's Ring from him, and some compensation was necessary, even though this person had been unlucky since getting the ring.

Weilan Haifeng instinctively caught it and was immediately excited, "No way, brother, a bronze ring, really giving it to me!"

He wasn't unfamiliar with good items; his weapon was a bronze set, obtained by trading a Mage skill, Ice Lance. He also learned Charge and Shield Bash.

There are very few people in the game who have obtained three skill books.

But he had never seen a ring before, especially one with such good attributes.

"Thank you for saving my life," Lu Li chuckled, "When you get good equipment in the future, you can return the favor."

A life in the game is just 10% of your experience, which is a matter of a few dozen minutes at low levels, not worth a high-quality bronze item.

Clearly, Lu Li was trying to befriend this old friend from his previous life.

"Alright, I'll be your friend. I'm Weilan Haifeng, a Warrior, level 5," Weilan Haifeng patted Lu Li's shoulder heartily, without any further nonsense.

"You're already level 5?" Lu Li was surprised, "I'm Lu Li, a Thief, just level 3."

"How did you only get to level 3? No wonder you were beaten by two little Thieves. Come on, I'll take you to level up," Weilan Haifeng is the type of person who, once he recognizes a friend, becomes very familiar, which is why Lu Li knew the secret of his legendary ring in his previous life.

Speaking of which, that ring was a bit of a mess.

In a sense, Lu Li had taken advantage of his friend, but it wasn't entirely so. After all, that ring didn't make Weilan Haifeng stronger; instead, it made him have to farm gold to make a living.

Having someone to lead him was naturally what he wanted, but since Weilan Haifeng was already level 5, Lu Li didn't plan to farm Jungle Cubs.

"You're already level 5, why don't we go to a dungeon?"
