"Pharmaceutical Scroll".

Wang Ming was somewhat disappointed. He would have preferred to get skill books or equipment instead.

After learning both medicine-making scrolls, Wang Ming looked at his secondary profession.

"Instant Recovery Potion! It's actually an instant recovery potion!" Wang Ming's eyes widened when he saw the description of the basic instant recovery potion.

The disappointment from opening the treasure chest earlier vanished completely.

Although it can only restore 200 health points, its instant recovery effect surpasses everything else. Moreover, this instant recovery potion and the continuous recovery potion are not the same type, which means that the two can be used together!

"Good stuff. We need to refine more of this potion, but the materials are a problem."

Wang Ming opened the world map and entered "earth ginseng grass" into it. Immediately, many small dots appeared on the map.

However, these small points of light were all in darkness.

“These places are unexplored and unknown, which is why they are covered in darkness.”

Wang Ming ignored the glowing spots that were far from the starting village and selected the glowing spot closest to the area where the man-eating flower was located. "This place should be the territory of level 7 monsters, so I can level up and collect earth ginseng grass at the same time."

With the instant recovery potion, Wang Ming no longer wanted to go find the old village chief and headed here according to the map.

But Wang Ming hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard a system announcement.

"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to players Three Kingdoms Cao Cao, Three Kingdoms Dian Wei, Three Kingdoms Xu Chu, Three Kingdoms Xiahou Dun, Three Kingdoms Xiahou Yuan, Three Kingdoms Guo Jia, and Three Kingdoms Xun Yu for achieving the first kill of the Level 7 Yellow Rank boss, the Withered Tree Demon King! Reward: Three Kingdoms Cao Cao (last hit) +1 level, all attributes +5! Reward: all other players with 50% of their current level's experience."

"Announcement for the entire region:..."

"Announcement for the entire region:..."

"Wow, another first kill! These guys from the Three Kingdoms are pretty strong."

"Haha, little brother, we're done here. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Just as Wang Ming was feeling sentimental, Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period sent him a message.

"What do you want from me? Holy crap, skill books." Seeing the information about Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Ming suddenly remembered that he still needed to sell skill books to these people.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to go back to the starting village first."

"Boss Cao, same place as always, meet me at the newbie village square."

"Okay, young man."

Wang Ming took out the Return Scroll and used it directly.

"Young man, over here." As soon as Wang Ming arrived at the square where he set up his stall, Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period waved to him from afar.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Wang Ming rented a stall and then walked towards Cao Cao and the others from the Three Kingdoms period.

At this moment, all the characters from the Three Kingdoms were at level 7, which surprised Wang Ming. Logically speaking, with the level bonus from the final blow, Cao Cao should have been at a higher level than the others.

In an instant, Wang Ming understood that Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms was only level 7, but he was only a little experience away from level 8.

"Haha, we just arrived too. Let's start the transaction right now, young man."

"Alright, but Mr. Cao, this time, I'd like to use real currency for the transaction."

"Real currency?" Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms was somewhat surprised. He had come here after defeating the boss and had collected a lot of game currency in advance, but he did not expect that Wang Ming wanted to trade in real currency this time.

"Haha, okay, no problem."

"Alright, besides the Sword Drawing Technique, there's also some equipment this time. Mr. Cao, take a look and then give me a price." Seeing that Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms agreed, Wang Ming sent the Sword Drawing Technique and all the equipment that had dropped to Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms.

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

"Young man, I'll pay 50 gold coins for this skill book. As for equipment, I'll take everything except the Flower Demon Harp. That'll be 5 gold coins for the whole set, making it 55 gold coins in total."

"Currently, the exchange rate between in-game currency and real-world currency is approximately 1 gold coin = 9000 to 9500. So, if I calculate based on a rate of 9500, the total amount is in real-world currency."

"Young man, what do you think?"

"Don't you want the Demon Harp?" Wang Ming looked at Ling Yin, one of the group, who was Guo Jia from the Three Kingdoms period. Seeing the purple light emanating from the harp in Ling Yin's hand, Wang Ming understood immediately.

"Okay, this is my card number."

Wang Ming then sent his bank card number to Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period.

"Okay, young man, please wait a moment, I'll transfer the money right away."

"Young man, the money has been transferred, please check it."

"Well, Mr. Cao, I'd like to trouble you to screenshot the transfer information and send it to me in the game. I'm not available right now and can't see it."

“No problem.” Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period immediately sent the transfer information to Wang Ming.

Wang Ming then checked the transfer information and, after confirming that there were no problems, set up designated trading partners for the skill books and equipment, as required by Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period.

The transaction was completed shortly afterward.

"Young man, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

"Mr. Cao, wait a moment."

"Is there anything else, young man?"

"Boss Cao, it's like this, I'd like to exchange the boss's location information with you."

"Exchange boss location information?"

"Yes, I killed the level 6 boss, so I naturally know where it is. And you killed the level 7 boss, so you must also know where it spawns."

"I'd like to trade the location information of your level 6 boss for the location information of your level 7 boss, so that both of us can camp the boss."

The level 7 boss is the Treant King, which is presumably immobile, making it a sitting duck for Wang Ming, just like the Giant Man-Eating Plant.

Even without the first kill, as a boss, the loot it drops will definitely be better than that of other monsters. Moreover, Wang Ming has the Soul Devouring ability, so after killing it, he can also plunder 10 attribute points. That's why Wang Ming proposed the trade.
