13: Chapter 11 I Want to Be Immortal 13: Chapter 11 I Want to Be Immortal Xiao Jie took the Firewood Axe and was about to leave when another person ca into the blacksmith shop — a young man in his twenties bare-chested and holding a stick, who had a rather delicate face.
You could tell he was a new player just by looking at him.
Xiao Jie casually glanced at the newcor’s na.
I Want to Be Immortal (Returnee), Level: 1.
The young man entered the blacksmith shop and headed straight for Wang Kai.
“Excuse , are you the gold-selling Wang Kai?”
Wang Kai replied, “Yes, that’s right, what’s up?”
“I want to buy so gold.
I am the younger brother of ‘I Want to Seal the Sky’.”
“Oh, so you’re the little brother of old Feng Tian, I see.
I thought your na looked familiar.
How’s your brother doing?
Haven’t seen him in a long ti.”
“He’s dead.”
“Ah — condolences, brother.”
The fat man said sowhat regretfully.
Xiao Jie watched the two conversing, feeling sowhat emotional himself.
“I want to buy gold,” declared I Want to Be Immortal.
“Sure, how much do you need?”
“5,000 coins.”
Man, how could a new player be so rich?
Xiao Jie was shocked.
5,000 coins was equivalent to fifty thousand yuan.
What was he doing collecting so many copper coins?
Was he planning to buy equipnt and venture out of the village?
That’s right, hadn’t he himself had that sa thought before?
“No problem, for Feng Tian’s little brother, I’ll give you a 5% discount.
By the way, are you looking to buy equipnt?
I can calculate it directly for you.
I’m an apprentice in this blacksmith shop and get an internal price.
Plus, so hidden items require reputation to purchase, which I can help you unlock directly.”
Sure enough, money talks, Wang Kai was extra enthusiastic with I Want to Be Immortal, unlike his attitude with Xiao Jie, who had to haggle over fixing a Firewood Axe like a beggar.
“That’s a bit too much, isn’t it?
Should I make up the difference?” I Want to Be Immortal seed embarrassed.
“Oh, co on, don’t be a stranger.
I was good buddies with old Feng Tian.
His brother is my brother.
Let introduce you to so of the good equipnt in the store.
Oh, and let’s exchange WeChat contacts first…”
“That’s why I need to be well-prepared, spending money to buy gold.
As long as I have a full set of equipnt, there’s nothing to fear.”
Before long, I Want to Be Immortal was fully equipped.
He wore thick leather armor, Cowhide War Boots, and a Bull Horn Leather Helt — it wasn’t that he couldn’t afford iron armor, but he didn’t have enough strength to carry it without incurring a weight penalty, so he had to use leather.
He chose a Snake Spine Longbow, a Fine Steel Treasure Sword, an Iron Inlaid Shield, and a Cold Iron Spear…
he was ard to the teeth.
For a newcor without any skills, all weapons were equally advantageous, aning he had no specific weaknesses or strengths; he could carry multiple weapons and switch between them depending on the monster he encountered.
The equipnt cost him over 3,000 coins, and Wang Kai completed the transaction by directly giving I Want to Be Immortal the remaining money.
Now, he just needed to buy so golden sore dicine and food supplies to start his adventure outside the village.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that this guy was really going all out, spending fifty thousand yuan just like that.
Indeed, the equipnt made him look much more powerful, but being only Level 1 still seed too risky.
He couldn’t help but caution, “Buddy, I think you should be more careful.
It’s dangerous outside the village, and you know that in this ga, death is real, right?”
I Want to Be Immortal confidently replied, “I know, but I have my reasons to beco stronger.
With my skills, as long as I’m careful, I’ll be fine.
I’ll start with the weakest monsters and slowly explore.
Don’t worry about .”
(Brother, don’t worry.
If there are immortals in this ga, there must be spells for resurrection.
I’ll definitely bring you back.) The young man in front of the computer, dressed impressively in his virtual gear, had a determined look in his eyes.
His voice still carried a hint of immaturity, yet it was unusually resolute.
Xiao Jie sighed in his heart.
Well, let’s not pry then, he thought, and decided not to say anything more.
This sort of thing was, after all, a personal choice.
Watching the man leave the blacksmith shop without looking back, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but feel emotional—Buddy, I hope you survive.
“You’re so close with ‘I Want to Seal the Sky,’ why don’t you talk so sense into his brother?” he couldn’t help but say to Wang Kai standing beside him.
Wang Kai didn’t seem to care at all, “It’s useless, good words won’t dissuade a determined fool.
Everyone who plays this ga is skilled and bold.
If he knows the true nature of this ga and still dares to go out and hunt monsters, it ans he’s confident, or he has a compelling reason to take risks.
What’s the point in advising?
Besides, how do you know he’s not so hidden expert?
Maybe he really can face down gods and buddhas and returns fully equipped in top-grade gear.
And when it cos to danger, unless you’ve experienced it yourself, you’ll never truly understand what it’s like, so what’s there to advise?
If he wants to adventure, he’ll face it sooner or later.
At least with the equipnt I forged for him, his chances of survival have greatly increased.
I’ve taken care of him on behalf of his brother.”
Xiao Jie was speechless, thinking that your attitude really does prioritize respecting each individual’s choices.
But he wasn’t wrong either.
The guy at least had a set of top-grade gear; when he himself ventured out of the village, he might not even have that privilege.
Okay, enough dawdling, better go chop so firewood.
Since he had decided to embrace a cautious path, he might as well stick with it.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xiao Jie didn’t rush off to chop trees on the mountain.
Instead, he pondered what was going wrong, wondering why he wasn’t making money?
Chopping Wood needed further study; the ga surely wouldn’t let players be out of pocket, he must be doing sothing wrong.
After a mont of thought, Xiao Jie suddenly smiled.
Why go through all this trouble himself when he could just ask online?
If the ga was this realistic, then the rules of chopping wood should follow real-world logic.
Exiting the ga, he logged into his regular knowledge forum, “Endless Sea of Consciousness,” and posted a query.
[Consultation: Does anyone know any tips for chopping wood?
I keep damaging my Firewood Axe when I chop, and I’ll reward generously if your answer helps.]
He casually offered a reward of 10 yuan.
Now all that’s left is to wait for responses from forum mbers.
While waiting, he decided to sort out his lunch.
The characters in the ga could eat their fill, and he shouldn’t starve either.
Opening the fridge, all he saw were a few eggs and nothing else, which again made Xiao Jie feel uncomfortable—today was supposed to be Han Luo’s turn to buy groceries.
Forget it, let’s just cook so noodles.
Skilfully, he boiled so water on the induction cooker, and in one fluid motion added noodles and an egg, then tossed in two fish balls to enhance the flavor.
Soon, a large bowl of noodles was ready, steaming hot and just about to be served, when the phone rang at an inopportune mont.
Xiao Jie picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number.
He felt slightly puzzled and vaguely guessed who it might be.
After hesitating for a mont, he still answered it.
Xiao Jie said gravely, “Hello?”
“Hey, Xiao, rember ?
I’m Liu Qiang.
How have you been lately?
I had Han Luo bring you a ga yesterday.
Have you played it?”
It was indeed that jerk!
