Due to background and identity, the character played by Su Chen initially had a reputation of respect in Shafir City (formerly Ashwood Town). His reputation in the Borham Territory and the Kingdom of Nokhan also reached a friendly level - the reputation index in the Borham Territory was slightly higher than that of the Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this identity that Su Chen has the basis to intervene in disputes and convince others. If he replaces an ordinary player with cold reputation, he doesn’t even have the chance to interrupt, let alone be trusted and obeyed.

Fortunately, after a month of preparation for the game, Su Chen has a relatively correct understanding of his identity and ability positioning. However, judging by the many small tasks he has been doing in the small town, not only does he have no decent rewards in terms of money, but he is pitifully less experienced in terms of experience.

For example, take the daily task of militia training as an example! After completing it for 6 days a month, there are only 4 experiences and the salary given before. The daily life of other civilians is often rewarded with reputations and some gifts that are not valuable to the parties involved, and of course there are hidden favorable values. Although Su Chen solved the survival problem in the small town with these tasks, and he could still have a slight surplus. However, if he wants to improve the character level, he doesn’t know that he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month!

"The preparations are almost done. The next step is to carry out some adventure tasks. But if I am alone, it may be quite difficult! It's time to find some teammates for myself." Su Chen was thinking in his mind, and as for leaving the old house he had lived in for "not short time".

Judging from Su Chen’s current understanding, the tasks assigned by the Adventurers Union are generally very difficult. No, it should be that all combat-related tasks in the "Diara Continent" are very difficult - especially when most first-generation players do not have good attributes, it is even more serious.

According to the survey results of various offline websites and forums, 80% of the players who entered the game were already waiting for the growth of the second generation characters. In addition to the unscrupulousness of some players at the time, there are also reasons for the high-difficulty adventure missions.

If this were a company that had released an online entertainment game, it would have been boycotted, protested, and sent blades by the excited players, so how could it be operated? After all, it was for players to play games, not games. However, after the Earth United Government used it as a resource allocation tool, it was another matter.

It is precisely because many people seem to be an alternative job. In this society where 95% of the population is unemployed or unemployed all year round, any opportunity to earn credit points other than benefits is really precious.

Su Chen, who stepped out of the house, wandered around in the "Fai Huimu Town" that has become a Shafair City. Although this seems to be a casual walk, it can actually be regarded as a very important channel for obtaining intelligence.

Along the way, familiar indigenous people (NPCs) greeted him from time to time. Because Su Chen was very stern when he was working during this period, he put law or morality first, and he was quite majestic in discipline. In addition, he was a very easy-going person in private, which made him get along well with the indigenous people.

It took not long before Su Chen's current character, Barrett, arrived at the market, one of the two major intelligence distribution centers in the city. Usually, the market is divided into two categories, one is a special commercial area, where players and indigenous people can run various shops, workshops or handicraft workshops.

However, as of now, the operating costs of such large stores are definitely not affordable by ordinary players. Only a few "professional businessmen" who use credit points to hire a large number of "craftsmanship workers" and acquire funds from players in the real world will seize the opportunity to start renting stores at this time. According to offline reports, the best of them can even start hiring Aboriginal craftsmen with better craftsmanship at this stage. However, in Shafir City, Barrett has not seen such a scene yet.

The second type of market is the best choice for ordinary players at present. This type of market is usually a large piece of open space opened in the central square of the town or the entrance of the town. Then, the small vendors pay a little fee and can set up a "street stall" on the open space - just like the frequent trading days among the indigenous people. Of course, the management organization will provide guards here to maintain order in the market. Although thefts cannot be avoided from occurring frequently, there will definitely be no blatant robbery or murder.

Such a transaction has created an alternative prosperity, and even the indigenous people will inevitably sell some things that are not easy to see in most shops in this open-air market (but Barrett feels more like a player has made the original indigenous market bigger). Usually, the indigenous adventurers who come here to "set up stalls" will also travel around the mainland, conducting various treasure hunting adventures and business trips. Even if the player's charm and negotiation are high enough, they can form teammates with the indigenous people.

With the potential of advanced artificial intelligence, these indigenous adventurers have no weaker judgment than ordinary players. Moreover, because of the knowledge and abilities they have given by the system, they are still good player mentors in the early stage.

In addition, just like in reality, there are auction places in "Diala Continent". For example, in the most important Sidu Karada in the western plains of the Nokhan Kingdom, there is a "Guevara Auction House" with a reputation as the second-level Poatu City, and there are also irregular underground auctions.

Unfortunately, in a small place like Shafir City, there is no way to see so many tricks. A main street that runs across the town from the southeast to the northwest of the small town is the commercial street run by the indigenous people. Due to planning issues, shops and handicraft workshops on both sides of the street can be said to be full of stars. Another entrance to the east of the town is the so-called "market" area. Including these two places, plus the horse-team area unique to the commercial road city on the south, it forms the most important commercial concentration in Shafir City - the source of money flow.

It seemed like he was aimlessly wandering around the market, and Barrett had any gains. While strolling around to look at the surrounding goods, he found a pair of good forearm shields on a street stall. For him who used giant two-handed weapons, this seemed to be a good choice.

I stopped and bent down to look at the data given by the equipment. The 1-point shield bonus, 1-point armor check impairment, and the 5% increase in arcane failure were all expected by Barrett. The 6-pound weight has exceeded the small round shield and reached the category of a light steel shield. However, considering that the hands are worn separately, there is no problem.

"HI, man, it looks like you just had a successful adventure?" Barrett pointed to the item in front of him and greeted the seller.

"Yeah! It's just good luck." The guy on the stall raised his head, and his slightly tender face seemed a little out of place with the calmness he showed.

‘It would be strange if you believe you?’ Barrett could see that the other party’s game character’s appearance was definitely not convinced by his age in reality, and it may be very different.

However, he still said calmly: "Arm shield, crossbow, unknown ore, and scimitars that need to be repaired. You must have participated in a kind team before, and the ambush was going very smoothly."

While speaking, Barrett pointed to the items on the stall, and then the person who set up the stall changed slightly. Although the goods on it were not of any fine product, they were not something that anyone could take out. Moreover, there were a few traces of them that had not been used, which were obviously new products that were not sold. These things appeared here, so the story behind them was self-evident.

The other party's face changed a few times, and there was a fierce light in his eyes. However, Barrett's next words made the other party relieved: "Don't worry about what I'm going to say. Everything here needs to be proof, and there are no wanted documents outside the office. I think your prey was not serious! Besides, I'm here to do business with you."

As he said that, Barrett pointed at the item he liked with his finger: "What is the price of this pair of arm shield?"

Speaking of this, the expression on the other person's face finally relaxed. He looked at the items indicated by Barrett and said, "25 gold coins."

"It's expensive!" Barrett shook his head.

"How could it be expensive? Haven't you noticed the most important data on this?" The vendor stood up suddenly, grabbed the pair of arm shields and roared, "Equipping this arm shield does not affect the use of two-handed weapons! This can also be said to be the favorite of two-handed warriors."

Generally speaking, shields cannot be used with two-handed weapons. Even the small round shield that can be used will definitely affect the performance of the weapon. According to the game data, it is a little impairment in the attack. When using two-handed weapons, the melee battle is usually the main force of the team's output, which is often not worth the effort for them.

"Your asking price is too high, and it is difficult for anyone to get such a large amount of gold coins now. If it is a credit point, it is OK, but you would rather put it here to set up a street stall instead of selling it on offline websites. It means you need gold coins instead of credit points! And it is urgently needed." At this point, Barret blinked and prepared to further attack the other party, "Besides, there are not many people who can use this pair of arm shields at this stage! It requires special usage skills."

The guy who knew what Barrett said was a matter, gritted his teeth and asked, "How much did you pay?"

"18 gold coins! This is my evaluation of its value. If it is higher, I will not want it." Barrett directly reported his bottom line. Anyway, for him, this equipment is just the icing on the cake.

"No!" the other party struggled for a while, and then asked softly, "It's not impossible to sell it to you at this price. By the way, you are the original tester of this game!"
