Several large bookshelves occupy half of the study's area.
The shelves were filled with old books.
Some books were damaged by vines that had sprouted from the walls, but most of them remained intact, which made Su Bai's eyes light up.
The value of three special resources in affluent areas is widely recognized.
Books, precious metals, and fashion.
In theory, almost all the books presented to players are readable.
Aside from the language barrier.
However, the reward is only given if you finish reading the entire book.
Therefore, damaged books lose their value—although some special ancient books can sell for high prices even if they are damaged, these are exceptions.
There are at least a hundred books preserved in good condition in this study.
Some of them.
It already emitted a faint light before Su Bai even got close.
He suppressed the pounding in his heart and waited until the scent of incense filled the entire room before stepping inside.
Su Bai first went to the corpse to search for the fallen items.
[Acquired: Luxurious Revolver!]
[Received: Exquisite pocket watch!]
[Obtained: Gentleman's Outfit!]
...
Su Bai first took the green revolver from the corpse's hand.
He then took a silver pocket watch out of his pocket.
at last.
We simply stripped its clothes off as well.

Firearms are also a type of ranged weapon. Their advantage over bows and arrows is that they are easier to learn and are suitable for novice players.
It's also common in games.
If you are born in the Metanus Federation, which values steam technology, archer players can directly become gunsmiths upon their first job advancement and come into contact with basic gunpowder firearms.
The biggest difference between this thing and a regular crossbow is that...
Gun damage is usually divided into two parts.
Weapons, and bullets.
Primary weapons generally only have the most basic attack attributes.
Damage bonus depends entirely on the ammunition.
Armor-piercing rounds, incendiary rounds, high-explosive rounds, corrosive rounds... different materials can be used to make bullets with different effects.
There are more than a dozen types of special bullets that I can name off the top of my head.
Even a powerful gun won't deal much damage without properly fitted special bullets.
Therefore.
The daily expenses of a gunsmith are beyond the reach of the average player.
However, the advantage of firearms is that they can unleash their full power even if they are not exclusive to a particular profession.
It is more suitable as a backup weapon for players than a crossbow.
[Exquisite Pocket Watch]

...
The value of a fine pocket watch lies not only in its disassembly.
Sometimes, players will enter special areas that cause even the system's time to become disordered and malfunction.
On the contrary, these purely mechanical pocket watches always kept accurate time.
I'll keep this piece of Su Bai for myself.
Gentlemen's clothing, on the other hand, is a fashion specialty of the wealthy neighborhood.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this outfit doesn't offer any stat bonuses.
It can be sold for more than the equipment.
Regardless of gender, most players have a great passion for fashion, and they can even turn virtual reality games like immortality into a fashion show.
—Or rather, the surreal virtual technology has further increased players' enthusiasm for freely changing outfits.
Beyond its fashion value.
If disassembled, this garment can also be found to contain valuable high-grade fabric.
Craft equipment or other fashion items.
Demand remains high.
After casually tossing the remains aside, Su Bai glanced at the desk and then opened each drawer and searched through them.
The owner of this room must have been an accountant.
There were many account books in the desk.
There was also a document that detailed how the private investigator he hired was tracking the activities of a woman.
It also included several blurry black and white photos.
Based on the description in the information, Su Bai deduced that the accountant's green hair was probably due to working too long hours... It's quite interesting to look at these things from so many different eras.
There were no valuable items on the desk.
He turned his head and looked at the bookshelf.
Su Bai's priority was to select those ancient books of higher caliber.
Hundreds of books.
He only got nine books in the end.
Of these, three were of excellent quality, while the other six were ordinary books that left a deep impression on him and for which he received good rewards.
Books are like fashion and equipment.
Each item must occupy one space.
In the same slot, materials and consumables can be stacked up to a maximum of 99.
In comparison.
The book is actually not very cost-effective.
