Chapter 56 Invitation

At Xing Minglang's stronghold, number 0003, there was practically none—no, it's fair to say that Yu Xunge hadn't seen any of the strongholds she'd visited recently—she was the only one wearing all seven pieces of equipment.

She made no attempt to conceal herself, nor would she remove her equipment. By the end of each training session, she would only have a couple hundred HP left. Without the constitution boost from her equipment, her defense would be significantly reduced. Even with only 10% HP remaining, she would be similar to other players, and she still felt insecure.

Basic healing potions only restore 60 HP, while intermediate healing potions restore a little more, but only 240. It's better to go back and eat a few more meals that slowly restore HP.

Back at the nearest stronghold, Yu Xunge didn't recognize any of the employees, but those who could work there were clearly trained. They were all polite and gentle to everyone, and it was obvious that they shared information. Yu Xunge handed over the skill crystal of the Gear of Destiny to the other person, who then took out a workbook similar to those at other strongholds, turned to her page, and wrote down her "repayment" at the back.

She'll be able to pay it off in two more days.

Yu Xunge entered the base's rest area with satisfaction. She first prepared a dish for herself that would allow her to recover 600 HP per minute after triggering the God of Food talent. After finishing her meal, she immediately went to the flea market in the corner of the base.

She hadn't considered selling the equipment; it wasn't that she hadn't gotten some good items these past few days—for example, she'd gotten a crossbow today.

[Exhausted Sigh] (Rare)

[Bonus Attributes]: Constitution +7 | Intelligence +5

[Magic Attribute]: +1% Damage | +2% Attack Speed

[Equipment Requirements]: Level ≥ 3 | Constitution ≥ 17

Unfortunately, it requires level 3 to use. All equipment above the rare level has equipment requirements. The good items she's gotten these past few days are like that, either requiring higher attributes or higher levels.

However, she didn't plan to sell these good items. Cats have their ways and mice have theirs. She didn't believe these players couldn't go to the auction house. She even knew that there were players who could impersonate others and act as purchasing agents, helping other players who couldn't enter the city to buy various materials or equipment.

Of course, the official team wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. They could vouch for players, but they'd take a 1% cut, which is practically ripping them off.

Yu Xunge planned to keep all the rare-grade equipment for herself, but she sold all the equipment below that grade.

She laid out a cloth and placed the day's shipment on it.

【Exquisite Leather Nails】(High-Quality)

[Bonus Attribute]: Intelligence +6

[Magic Attribute]: +2% Magic Damage

She doesn't need any attribute bonuses other than constitution in the short term. In the past few days, she only managed to get a glove with +7 constitution, which she replaced with her original wolf skin glove with +6 constitution. She sold all her other equipment.

Yu Xunge didn't try to keep a low profile. Her destiny was about to be set in motion, so she didn't shy away from showing off her good luck.

The people in the nearby outposts got used to it; this guy would come every day to sell equipment, sometimes one piece, sometimes two.

Even the official channels have bought quite a few.

The item was quickly sold for 90 silver.

Yu Xunge didn't mind the small amount; she had emptied the goblin bank account. Her daily income was only 3 gold from the items she made herself, plus about 50 silver from fighting monsters above her level. There were so many things she wanted to buy.

She's already planning to go to another major city tomorrow to exchange money with goblins, preferably to exchange all the gold bars she has.

After Yu Xunge put away the cloth, several figures appeared in front of her, three men and two women. The group squatted down, chatted for a few words, and then invited her to join their team in a friendly manner. Yu Xunge was not surprised. In the past few days, almost every day someone had invited her to join their team, envious of her luck but also appreciating her strength.

Yu Xunge refused as usual.

But this person was persistent; he followed her all the way back to the tent and even wanted to go inside and talk to her.

Yu Xunge stopped and turned to look at the group, asking directly, "Why should I share the earnings of one piece of equipment with you guys if I can earn it all by myself?"

The man in the lead smiled unchanged: "If we team up, we can fight higher-level monsters."

Yu Xunge was too lazy to explain further, but seeing that several other teams nearby were also glancing in their direction, she offered a few more words of explanation: "How will the higher-level equipment be distributed? Will it be allocated according to contribution? What about luck, which is something we can't see? If I say that I got the equipment because I was lucky, and I get a larger share, will you accept that?"

The man said in a gentle voice, "When forming a team, everyone values ​​fairness. If it's not fair, a team won't go far."

Yu Xunge: "Hmm, so you mean to split it equally? According to your fair standards, everyone gets one share. If I fight alone, I can get a piece of equipment all to myself, but if I team up with you guys, I can only get one-sixth. What's the point of that?"

The man's eyes were dark, but his smile remained gentle: "But luck is indeed something that is difficult to calculate."

Yu Xunge laughed: "It's hard to calculate, so why did you invite me in the first place?"

After driving the group away, Yu Xunge recalled their expressions and guessed that things were about to get turbulent.

At first, everyone was lucky and could restrain themselves even if they were tempted. But after these days, with their daily gains equaling the gains of others in three days, how could they possibly resist?

At 6 a.m. the next morning, Yu Xunge had just stepped out of the stronghold when he felt someone following him.

Looking back, she saw the same five people from yesterday. When they saw that she had spotted them, they weren't embarrassed at all. Instead, they smiled at her and then followed her.

After passing through the spider's territory, the five people stopped. They dared not go any further. Five level 0 players could barely kill level 4 spiders, but level 5 ones were not so sure.

The tall, thin man frowned and asked the leader, "What do we do?"

The leader said, "Let's go, let's talk to them."

The group turned to leave, but they didn't notice that a small spider was perched on a large tree not far away.

Yu Xunge immediately transformed into a bird and flew up, following behind the group.

She hadn't petted the cow cat for seven days, but because she had Animagus, she had long developed the habit of petting any small animal she saw. In the real world, she made sure to pet it every few days, ensuring she had three animal forms—land, sea, and air—to transform into.

Yu Xunge cautiously followed behind the group and soon arrived at a cave. The group crawled inside, and Yu Xunge immediately landed and transformed into a spider, running wildly on eight short legs to barely keep up with them.

Soon, voices came from ahead. Yu Xunge climbed up the rock wall and continued to climb inward. Soon he saw a small wild settlement where a dozen or so players had just gotten up.

Yu Xunge counted them; including the five-person team she was following, there were a total of 21 people.
