Rank D mission: Clear out the Harpy's lair
Mission Rewards: 300 Crowns, 400 Experience Points, 1 Special Card, 50 Mercenary Points.
Mission failed: 40 mercenary points will be deducted.
Special cards? What are these? Liu Nian was completely baffled.
If you can't figure it out, just finish the task first. After paying the deposit and getting the map, Liu Nian walked out of the hall.
The market area is still quite lively in the middle of the night, with many masked people trading.
This reminded Liu Nian of Yan Kuan and his son from back then, wondering where they were now.
In the market, the original barter system has gradually begun to be replaced by the use of crowns for settlement.
That's normal. The Adventurer's Hall provides enough crowns for a normal adventurer's maintenance expenses. With a little more effort, you can save up some crowns to buy a basic job change certificate. In addition, the cards given by quests can also be traded for necessities.
Moreover, a bank, Tianxia Bank, stands in the center of the market area.
Looking at this thriving scene, Liu Nian thought that it wouldn't be long before the era of civilization could be restarted.
The stalls she passed by displayed a wide variety of items, but Liu Nian glanced at them and didn't find anything she wanted.
Suddenly, a sign standing next to a stall caught Liu Nian's attention.
Under the torchlight, Liu Nian looked at the sign in front of him, which read: "Requires various materials."
Materials? I have plenty myself.
Liu Nian recalled the brain and claws of the Rotten Skin Demon Wolf in her space, as well as the various internal organs of wild boars, bison, and lizards.
Sitting at the stall was a person wearing a straw hat with a gray veil sewn onto it, obscuring their face. Their body was covered by a dirty cloak, and in front of them was a white cloth, which was completely empty.
"May I ask what materials you're referring to?" Liu Nian asked, looking at the person in front of her.
"Plants, animals, minerals—I'll take them all!" the person on the other end replied without even looking up.
"Do things like the claws of the Rotten Skin Dire Wolf count?"
Liu Nian asked with concern, "What he said covers too broad a range!"
“Yes, of course you do, you have it!” The person on the other end was clearly intrigued by Liu Nian’s question.
"Yes, but it's not convenient to take it out right now," Liu Nian answered truthfully.
After hearing the reply, the person on the other end clearly lost interest, thinking that Liu Nian was just bragging!
Looking at the empty stall, Liu Nian asked, "You only buy, don't sell?"
"They're all sold out, that's why I'm buying them." Although the transaction wasn't completed, the other party still answered his question, and it has to be said that the other party's attitude was really good.
"If it's convenient for you, wait for me a moment, I'll go get the things." Liu Nian looked at the vendors on the ground, stood up and said.
“Okay!” said the person on the ground.
Liu Nian turned and walked out of the market. Seeing that no one was around, he took out the claws and brain from his spatial storage, leaving one for the vampire as material.
He then returned to the market just in time.
The vendors were indeed still in the same spot, but very few people came up to inquire.
After placing the materials on a white cloth, Liu Nian inquired about the price.
The merchant did not answer immediately, but stretched out his hands to fiddle with the materials on his stall.
The claws were still dripping blood, all fresh, indicating that the killing had happened recently. This person was very skilled!
With that in mind, the merchant formally said, "As for crowns, I can give you three hundred, and I'll take everything you have here."
"Of course, give me some time, and I can exchange my potions for your materials," the merchant said, changing the subject.
"Potion?" Liu Nian looked at the person under the veil in surprise.
Seemingly noticing Liu Nian's gaze, the person opposite straightened his chest and said proudly, "Of course, I, Sun Buhuan, never lie."
Liu Nian silently apologized to him and used information gathering on him.
Level 1, Alchemist (Support Class), Strength 4, Agility 4, Constitution 4, Intelligence 7, Spirit 5.
Skills: Herbalism Knowledge (Passive), Basic Alchemy
Did you choose a support role?
That's right, this is the best option if you don't want to take any risks.
Despite both being melee noobs with a 444 rating, Liu Nian suddenly found the person in front of him exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
"I choose the potion." Liu Nian didn't need crowns for the time being, so he chose the potion.
“Basic magic potion, basic life potion, basic vitality potion, basic lionheart potion…” Sun Buhuan rattled off a long list of potion names.
"Impressive!" Liu Nian looked at him with admiration after hearing about the pile of potions he mentioned.
After Sun Buhuan explained the effects of these potions, Liu Nian chose the basic vitality potion and the basic mental potion as an exchange.
Basic Vitality Potion: Restores 30 health and 30 mana points over 10 seconds.
Basic Psychic Potion: Temporarily increases the drinker's psychic level by one point, lasting for one hour.
This was the first time Liu Nian had ever heard of anything that could increase attribute values. After hearing Sun Buhuan's explanation, he immediately asked for the two potions.
It has to be said that the medicine is really expensive, but it's something that can save your life, so the price is worth it.
Sun Buhuan told Liu Nian to come here in two evenings to pick up the medicine.
It seems that refining the potion will take a lot of time.
Support roles like these will definitely be recruited by large guilds in the future, and maybe they already have.
No wonder the items on the stall sold out so early; they're definitely in high demand now.
Moreover, perhaps because it's a support class, alchemists have a lot of skills, which makes Liu Nian a little concerned. This class is too unbalanced!
Seeing that the pharmacist had no intention of closing up shop, but that was none of Liu Nian's business, he continued browsing the goods on other stalls.
After looking around and finding nothing suitable, Liu Nian headed towards the Rose Hotel.
The journey was uneventful. After paying the rent with twenty crowns, Liu Nian received the key.
Liu Nian lit the oil lamp on the table and took out the cards he had obtained that day.
There are four cards in total: one equipment card, one random card, one resource card, and one item card.
Wow, what luck!
【Shadow Gloves】(Green Quality) (One of the Shadow 3-Piece Set)
Magic Defense: 2-3
Physical defense: 1-2
Effect: Increases shadow damage by five points.
Death Ripple seems to be shadow damage, isn't this perfect? Liu Nian happily put on the purple gloves.
If nothing goes wrong, the next Death Ripple will deal forty points of damage. Are you scared yet?
A box of Asa milk tea
A box? It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's sold by the box, Liu Nian said with a grin, putting it into his spatial storage.
Zhang Jiaojin
Zhang Jiaojin: Deals ice damage to the target; the damage is determined by the player's level.
Isn't this the same prop from the arcade game "Dynasty Warriors" from when I was a kid?
Liu Nian remembered that it was used to fight Meng Huo.
What materialized was indeed an inconspicuous tattered burlap towel, but the effect was incredibly powerful!
I wonder if its effects are the same as in the game.
Liu Nian carefully put the powerful item into his pocket.
It cannot be placed in the spatial storage, as the spatial storage will not be activated during combat.
As for how to determine combat status, Liu Nian is currently unsure of the rules.
The final random card—I wonder what good stuff it will yield? Liu Nian rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Looking at the question mark drawn on the card, Liu Nian said, "Use."
The card floated in mid-air, transformed, and then fell onto the table.
"It failed? That shouldn't be the case!" Liu Nian looked at it in confusion, which was still in the shape of a card.
Upon closer inspection, the random card had been replaced with another card.
It turns out that instead of directly turning into an item, it retains the shape of a card.
[Expansion Card]
Note: You can use me to expand anything, like your own place!!!
Damn it, these cards are getting weird again!
