lone star legend

Chapter 21 Preparation
The streets are still bustling with people coming and going, but it can be seen that they are not all NPCs anymore. There are already players in twos and threes. Although there are not many, there are still there after all. I believe that as time goes by, there will be more and more players. appeared in the streets and alleys of the cities.What should I do first?I have already studied the only skill book "Basic Sword Skills" given by the system just now, maybe it is because of the frequent use. In "Basic Sword Skills", the three movements of picking, piercing, and stabbing are only 22% proficient in picking. The two techniques of warding and stabbing have reached 57% and 63%, which is not far from the proficiency of 100%.Should I strike while the iron is hot and go to the swordsman training hall to practice skills?Or do you go to kill monsters and level up now, and slowly hone in the battle?The advantage of the former is that you can concentrate on practicing and increase your proficiency quickly, while the latter can practice skills in battle, which can not only increase skill proficiency but also experience upgrades.But compared to the rise of proficiency is slow.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to choose the latter. The reason is that I am faster than others, and I have gained more proficiency than others, and I have also received a reward from the system to increase the speed of skill learning by 5%. It won't be much slower than other people's hard training in the skill hall. The most important thing is that I don't like that boring practice method, it's too boring.

After making up my mind, I took a car to the Imperial City Trade Zone. Monster-killing medicine is essential. Although I brought a lot from Novice Village, and it didn't take much medicine to fight the Wrathful Bear King, my stamina medicine was already gone. There are not many left, and they are all used when digging pits. This treasure is indispensable for fighting monsters.It didn’t take long for me to arrive at the door of the pharmacy. Haha, the carriage is really fast, but the price is not low. The system is really good at making money. With such a big city, walking takes a lot of time. At this moment when every second counts against time, this kind of convenient service is launched It's hard not to think about it.

After paying the fare and getting out of the carriage, I looked up and saw a couplet in front of the door. The first couplet read "If you have money to get started, but you don't have money, please." Looking at this "Qian (Qian) Jinda Pharmacy", which is known as the number one in the imperial city, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, what is the difference between the game world and the real world?The one tael of gold given to the middle-aged uncle just now, and the couplet now, all the facts clearly tell us that even in this virtual world, we can’t do without money.

After buying the medicine in a hurry, I went to the tailor shop. The owner of the grocery store in Xinshou Village said that my silver wolf fur cloak can only be made by masters in the imperial city.Tailor shops and drugstores are not far away, after all, these are the best-selling material supply points.

Walking out of the door of the pharmacy, I saw the huge front of the tailor's shop, on which a pair of golden scissors swayed in the wind.Entering the tailor's shop, I saw a beautiful woman sewing her clothes with her head bowed. "Hi sister, are you the tailor here?" For women, especially beautiful women, every man will lower his tone, even me, who is usually indifferent, is no exception.

"Oh, yes, yes." The woman seemed startled by my sudden question, and it took a while to calm down.He gave me a sideways glance, as if blaming me for my rudeness. "What's the matter with you coming here?" The tone was full of dissatisfaction. Although she should be older than me, she felt like a child.

I shook my head helplessly, and without talking nonsense with her, I took out the silver wolf skin from the ring and put it in front of her? "Silver Wolf King Skin?" The girl seemed surprised, and then said, "The quality of En is good. I was very careful when I caught and collected it, and basically kept the original quality. Hey, what do you want to make of it?"

Listening to the girl's words, I was really surprised. I thought girls were afraid of wolves, but I didn't expect that she didn't seem to feel anything while holding the silver wolf king skin. She really deserves to be a professional. "Eldest sister, I want to make a cloak, I wonder if elder sister can help me with this?"

"What? What did you call me? Do I look so old?" The girl seemed to be showing signs of going berserk.

"Big, big oh no, no miss, I didn't do it on purpose." I quickly explained, I haven't had much contact with girls since I was a child, and now I feel a little at a loss.

"Hmph, miss, that's really ugly. Do you think this is a bar? It's really rude." After hearing this, I was almost dumbfounded. It's not good to call you big sister, and it's not appropriate to call you young lady, so what should I do? , the mind that usually feels quite flexible has been a little dizzy, and the sweat immediately appeared on the forehead.

Looking at my appearance, I only heard the girl "puchi" and laughed. That appearance was as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming, and I was taken aback for a while.When the girl saw me staring straight at her, she felt a little embarrassed. She glared at me fiercely and said, "Hum, call me master from now on. Do you understand?"

"Master?" I exclaimed in surprise, and the appearance of a bald monk with a white beard in his hand and meditating all day long appeared in my mind.But looking at the girl's intoxicated face, I didn't dare to laugh, I was a little afraid of her getting angry.

"Master, can you make this cloak?" Suppressing a smile, I said slowly. "Of course, I'm a master. How could there be something I can't make? Let me tell you, my tailoring level is at the master level." He said with a smug look on his face.

"Grandmaster level? You really can't be judged by appearances. I didn't expect this crazy girl to be a master-level sewing teacher. The imperial city is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. These NPCs really can't be underestimated.

Since she can do it, I have nothing to worry about, the system will never make a liar, right? "Then master, when should I come to pick up the things? And how will the fee be calculated?"

"I'll wait for three days to get the things. As for the money, how much should I give?" Haha, there is such a thing.Seeing my stunned look, the girl curled her lips and muttered, "What's weird about this? I'm only in charge of making things, not selling them. How about you pay when you come to pick up the goods?" , my sister who is in charge of selling things is not here today." After listening to her words, I finally understood that she can only make things but not sell things, no wonder she talks like that, if everyone who does business is like her, probably no People dare to buy things.Things are done, now it's time to level up.

Walking out of the tailor's shop, walking along the road, looking at the blacksmith's shop not far ahead, he couldn't help hesitating whether to go in and buy an iron sword.Although my "jueyi" sword is good, it has increasingly shown its lack of attack power. If it continues, it may affect my leveling speed and increase my danger.After all, this is no longer Novice Village, there are plenty of powerful monsters outside, and it seems impossible to kill them with a wooden sword.But the problem is that I made this "Excellent" sword with my own hands. It was my first weapon. It accompanied me through life and death, killing wild bulls and silver wolves, and overcoming countless dangers. Moreover, its additional attributes are indeed good. I can’t find a better substitute in time, so I’ll forget it after thinking about it. The iron swords sold now are not much better than my “Je Yi”, and because they are iron-type swords, they don’t have the unique attribute bonus of wood-type. It's always not easy to get up, so you should pay attention to find a good material and make better ones for yourself.

Just as I was thinking, a group of players not far away attracted my attention. I saw them surrounded by an NPC, and they seemed to be buying something, as if they were bargaining because the price could not be negotiated.Originally, according to my personality, I would not go up to join in the fun, but a player who passed by me muttered something about "monster fighting map"

What the hell is a "monster-fighting map"?It can’t be a map that marks the monster area. The official website of "Peerless" has nothing but a rough explanation of the monsters in Xiaxinshou Village. Now where to go to fight monsters and level up has become the most troublesome problem for many players, hehe It turns out that even this point has been taken advantage of by the system, and it can make a good fortune again.

Maybe the price is too high, the current players can't afford it, and the NPC is not in a hurry to sell it, and probably wants to wait for those who offer the starting price, so no one buys it after bargaining for a long time, and finally everyone broke up unhappy.

Taking this opportunity, I went up and asked, "Boss, are you selling maps? What type of map?" The fat boss glanced at me with his small eyes and said, "It's a map for fighting monsters, it's this map." The map of the distribution of monsters around the imperial city area, ranging from level 10 to level 50, is a must-have book for leveling now."

"Oh really? That's not bad, how much do you want, boss?" I asked.

"Hey, I spent countless efforts, painstaking efforts, and risked my life to make it, and it is a limited edition, so the price is... Hehe, you are not bad, just 5 taels of gold Go ahead." The fat boss said, pretending that you took advantage of it.

It's really dark, no wonder it is said that there is no business and no fraud. It is true, I have money, but it is so cheap that profiteer.I really don't want to say, "This boss is too expensive for you. It's not like you don't know the current market. You can do a lot of things with so much money. Forget it, let's save the money to buy medicine. It's okay to spend more time. It’s the same.” After speaking, he pretended to leave, but he took out two taels of gold to play with.

Seeing Jin, the fat boss's small eyes suddenly flashed a golden light, and he turned to me at a speed that his fat body could never achieve, and stopped me. "Hehe, little brother, talk to me if you have something to say, don't rush away, you can talk about it, as for the price, you can discuss it, hehe." After some haggling, I finally bought that kind of "fighting machine" for 2 taels of gold. Weird map".Haha, the advantage of doing business with the system is that I am not afraid of buying fake products. Looking at the precise distribution of monsters on the map, the entire leveling plan slowly formed in my mind.

ps; Thank you all book friends, seeing the soaring number of hits and recommendations, Ax is very happy, and found that so much time and energy have not been wasted. Since I started writing books, Ax understands the hard work of those writers. I hope that all book friends will not urge you Axe, a good book is written slowly, and the plot unfolds slowly. If the update is too fast, many things will be missed, which is something neither Axe nor fellow book friends want to see. There will be more exciting ones, thank you all book friends again.Your support is my motivation.
