In this world, items with special functions that can greatly enhance a professional's combat power are called props.
The props are diverse, including weapons, armor, and decorations, and their functions are also varied, but they all share common characteristics.
expensive.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, has the opposite characteristics:
poverty.
When Lin Yu transmigrated, his parents contracted a strange disease one after another and died soon after. Apart from a 60-square-meter house, they left him nothing.
Lin Yu had always lived frugally, wearing clothes from street vendors and reluctant to throw away torn socks. For a long time, his lunch at school consisted of a steamed bun and a bowl of plain porridge.
For money, he readily gave up the top spot in the grade.
For money, he readily took the top spot in the grade.
Lin Yu naturally couldn't possibly have something as luxurious as props.
Lin Yu's gaze swept over Qing Xue, but he felt no jealousy or resentment towards the rich; he simply smiled nonchalantly.
Why do you always have to compare yourself to others? Don't you find it tiring?
Qingxue shook her head: "If we don't compete, how can we establish our own value? How can we build an invincible belief?"
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Alright, don't cry when I beat you!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away without looking back.
Qingxue gritted her teeth, almost challenging Lin Yu to a duel on the spot.
She was outshone? What a joke!
"Lin Yu, you just wait!"
Approaching footsteps, a slightly plump archer carrying a longbow trotted up and laughed:
"Qingxue, I have assembled a team of 10 to fight monsters together. Now, I would like to formally invite you to join us."
Qingxue ignored it.
The archer continued, "School Beauty Qing, think about it. I think you need a group of protectors to shield you from the wind and rain..."
Two minutes later, the archer fell straight down at the school gate.
...
After leaving school, Lin Yu didn't go straight to fight monsters. He needed a sword to fight monsters, but directly condensing sword energy into a sword would consume too much mana.
Since he couldn't afford the props, Lin Yu decided to go to the blacksmith shop in Kangyang Hutong to buy an iron sword.
I happened to run into the old blind man at the entrance of the alley.
The old blind man grumbled and cursed:
"Kid, I just did a divination for myself, and it says I'll live to 79. I'm thinking, if it weren't for what happened this morning, I could have lived at least 20 more years!"
Lin Yu asked in confusion, "That's not right. I cured your eyes, so you should live 20 years longer."
The blind old man: "..."
Lin Yu walked into the blacksmith shop and picked out an ordinary iron sword. Without the enhancement effect of any props, its hardness was also somewhat worrying.
However, this was already the best weapon Lin Yu could afford.
"Boss, I'll take this one."
"5000, no bargaining!" the shopkeeper said firmly.
After some haggling, Lin Yu bought the iron sword for 998.
Anyone who says they won't haggle is talking nonsense.
...
To the southeast of Lin Yu's school lies a rainforest inhabited by low-level monsters. The school deliberately left it untouched, allowing students to fight monsters and level up.
Of course, most students from wealthy families would disdain coming here. In terms of the number of monsters and the speed of leveling up, dungeons and secret realms that require high entrance fees are their only choice.
Lin Yu, carrying his sword, arrived at the edge of the rainforest.
At this moment, a number of students had gathered here. They did not go in; some were recruiting teammates, while others seemed to be waiting for someone.
A stocky young man's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Yu, and he strode over and said:
“Hey classmate, join us! I see you have an extraordinary physique; you’ll definitely be of great use, cough cough.”
Lin Yu shook his head: "I don't need to team up with anyone."
He left as soon as he finished speaking.
The boy grabbed his arm and wouldn't let him leave.
"Wait, our boss is on his way. You can make your decision after you see him! Follow our boss, and he'll take you on a killing spree!"
Lin Yu remained unmoved and still wanted to leave.
The boy gritted his teeth, continued to hold onto her arm, and refused to let her leave.
The boss told me that I must assemble a team of 10 before he arrives.
Including the eldest, we're still 8 short; we have to work even harder.
After a struggle, Lin Yu finally managed to break free.
The boy panicked, unsure how to persuade them to stay. Just then, their leader arrived with a gloomy expression.
The boy quickly pointed at him and said, "Look, this is our leader, the noble archer."
"Boss, find a way to keep this guy here!"
Lin Yu turned around and saw that it was the archer he had just lectured.
The two stared at each other, and the archer was quite embarrassed.
Lin Yu didn't linger and strode into the rainforest.
The archer's lips twitched, and he glared fiercely at his underling.
"You're going to recruit this guy too?"
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Alright, tell me, how many people did you recruit? Have them all come and join us!"
The boy thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Including the two of us, we recruited two."
Archer: "..."
Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
But then he took out his phone and made a call:
"Hey! Guild leader? I'm planning to go into the rainforest to grind monsters and I urgently need teammates. Could you arrange for some people to come over?"
On the other end of the phone, Song Tianhuo, the leader of the Tianhuo Gang, spoke calmly: "Wait, I'll send my men over."
"Haha! Thank you, brother! Your heroic spirit is unparalleled, you stand tall among men, and will last for eternity. I admire you!"
