Sila arrived at Beginning Town. He walked towards the Quest Building and noticed that the number of people was significantly lower than before. Only Varee and Miss Host stood there.
Sila approached them. He looked around realizing he had never witnessed the sight of a desolate and peaceful Beginning Town before.
Why is it so quiet? asked Sila.
How can it not be? Players take two hours to revive; it will be long until the first one dying revives, answered Varee.
Then, can we get the reward now? asked Sila as he didnt want to be the center of attention.
No can do, sir. This event is held by the system. We have to promote it for the gas marketing, said the young female host.
Sila checked the ti in his system window. It would take around two hours until the ti ca.
Well, I will be training myself then. As for the reward, you can take all of it. I dont want any, said Sila.
To be honest, Sila thought the combat experience he had gained was more valuable than the reward. Moreover, Varee told him beforehand that she wanted this reward, so he didnt care much what the reward was.
Sila took out the Invitation Card to the Bamboo Hut. It made sense that the naless elder was starting to feel annoyed as Sila always bothered his place to keep training himself without a break.
However, Varee grabbed his hand when he was about to activate it, making him slightly blush.
Sila is always busy practicing. Just take a break sotis. Now that we have two hours, I will be your guide to sightsee Beginning Towns night atmosphere, said Varee, Miss Host, can we co back here two hours later?
Of course, please take your ti. The female host smiled.
Lets go, Sila. Varee led the way without releasing Silas hand.
When they left, the smiling host clapped two tis. Suddenly, there were rows of floating shining lamps hovered on both sides of the street. They were originally prepared for the award ceremony tonight. But she decided to use it beforehand to create a romantic atmosphere for this couple.
Well, well, this couple is so sweet yet so savage, muttered the host as she perceived that these two had killed all the players able to witness this peaceful atmosphere.
The two might look like they were holding hands romantically, however, Sila was actually being pulled by her forcefully.
Hey, hey, you can release my hand now. I wont leave, okay?
Nope, we are the Beginning Towns best couple tonight, rember?
Sila blushed slightly, About this matter, why didnt you tell beforehand that this was an event for a couple? asked Sila.
If I did, you wouldnt be participating, am I right? Varee asked him back.
Sila didnt say anything in return. If she had told him that fact beforehand, he indeed wouldnt have participated. While it was true that they knew each other in real life, they still had just t. Sila felt that they werent close enough to attend an event for couples together.
Just let it go and let show you around Beginning Town instead.
Then, Varee brought Sila to visit various places in Beginning Town. They even visited a Fortune Telling Shop that Sila wouldnt ever consider entering.
This romantic atmosphere (in a normal persons perspective except for Silas) continued. Regardless, the two of them stopped by the market square. The place was usually crowded with rchants. However, right now there was only one rchant sitting alone. He even seed confused and wondered why he was the only person with a stall here.
Varee brought Sila to visit that rchants jewelry stall. She picked so accessories to inspect while Sila who wasnt interested in jewelry started his conversation with the rchant.
Why are you here by yourself today?
Well, there is an event for couples today. Almost everyone joined, but Im not interested so I decided to sit here. However, I didnt expect people to all be gone like this. If you two hadnt co, I would have prepared to close my shop, replied the rchant.
Actually, the event Seeking for the Beginning Town's Best Couple was one of the most ridiculous events in the ga. However, it always gave big prizes so a lot of people always attended. The absurdity of the event lied in the fact that its content changed every round: there was a ti that the content was a duo singing contest. Since the only requirents for the event was being a couple, many people joined the event in case that sothing easy ca up. That was why most of the participators tead up for mutual benefits rather than being a real couple.
Hearing the explanation, Sila understood why many of the players that surrounded him didnt look like couples at all. This made him felt less guilty to kill them.
Did you craft these accessories by yourself? Theyre beautiful and very well-made, said Varee.
Yes, I craft all of them myself, answered the rchant.
Sila started to beco interested in the items. They consisted of necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, and common jewelry that looked quite good.
Varee picked up many bracelets to try on herself and repeatedly asked Sila for his opinion. Good grief, Sila wasnt interested in this kind of thing so he just replied that they all looked beautiful on her.
How about you Sila, do you want any? asked Varee.
No, thank you. I think what Im wearing is good enough.
Varee looked at Sila from his head to toe. No matter how she looked, there was almost no equipnt on Sila.
What are you wearing right now?
Sila opened his system window. He thought, The Right Arm of the Sealed One is unusable right now so it doesnt count. The rest is
Well, there is this wuxia clothing, said Sila.
And? Varee really wanted to know which equipnt had Sila put on.
Erm, its just that, replied Sila.
Thats all? Varee frowned. She wondered why. It shouldnt be the case of lacking money though since Sila had upgraded his system window to C grade.
Even the rchant was skeptical. With his sharp eyes of a rchant, the cloth that Sila was wearing must be C-grade Wandering Wuxias Clothing which increased both physical and magical defenses by 300 points, attack by 5%, qi point by 5%, qi circulations speed by 10%, and agility by 5%, together with the option of being able to clean itself but couldnt self-repair (as expected of a rchant, they were completely correct). The cloth cost around a hundred thousand silver coins, so it was impossible that this man was poor.
Sila was surprised that everyone seed worried. For him, all sets of clothing were the sa as he didnt intend to rely on it. He would even still wear Beginner Clothing right now if it wasnt dirty and ragged.
Well, in this case, you should buy sothing for yourself, said Varee prior to trying many accessories on Sila.
Sila felt bored so he started a conversation with the rchant again.
I think all of your products look pretty decent, so why do you seem not quite proud of them? Sila noticed the expression of the rchant.
The rchant was surprised that Sila could tell what he truly felt.
The reason is, although they look pretty, their ability is not that high. These could sell only in Beginning Town as there are plenty of better accessories in the Main Continent. It was Varee who replied in a rchants place.
Sila frowned and looked at Varee with scolding eyes. He felt that Varees speech was too an.
Im sorry. This woman was quite rude. Sila said to the rchant. This ti, it was Varees turn to frown. Wasnt what Sila just said considered ruder?
But the rchant shook his head, No problem, Bro. What she said was completely correct. These goods of mine arent able to sell in the Main Continent, I know that myself.
Most of the craftsn in the Main Continent are dwarfs or plant race. Those two races have the skill to increase the ability of equipnt and dicine. From what I saw, I guess you still havent changed your race. Varee said to the rchant.
Thats correct. But the race that I want to change into is very rare. I want to choose my own path so I havent changed to another race yet.
Varee frowned again. She wondered which race was better in craftsmanship than the dwarf race.
And what is the race that you want to change into? Sila thought that if it was a plant race, he would just give him the Dragon Tree Cards that he didnt know where to use or spend it on anyway.
Its a rpeople race, Sir.
rpeople race?/rpeople race? Sila and Varee exclaid together with doubt. However, their doubt was different. Varee was suspicious of how the rpeople race was better than the dwarfs, while Sila wondered whether it was too coincidental that he just happened to obtain a lot of rpeople Cards recently.
Although Big Sister said that the best races suitable for craftsmanship are dwarf or plant race, theres still more to it. Each of the races has their own aptitude. While its true that dwarf race is great in craftsmanship ability, it only specializes in crafting weapon and armor. For plant race, it specializes in dicine creation. There are also elf and fairy race that specialize in textile. The rchant explained.
What about the rpeople race?
rpeople race specializes in jewelry. The jewel that rpeople polish is far more exquisite than others. However, there is a big problem with the rpeople. The rchants expression saddened.
What is it? asked Sila.
The problem would be the fact that rpeople monsters are rare to encounter. They all live deep underwater. The reason that the event today was to fight them must be partly due to this. The gas creator might want us to try fighting it once. Varee answered in rchants place. This was common knowledge.
Did you two get to fight against rpeople monsters? asked the rchant. His eyes sparkled with hope.
Sila nodded, while Varee shook her head as she hadnt killed any rpeople. Her task was to assassinate the players.
The rchant felt a little puzzled. These two were together but one had fought the rpeople while the other hadnt. No matter how he looked at it, Varee didnt seem to be the support type.
Well, it wasnt important. He quickly spoke to Sila.
Do you have any rpeople Cards to sell to , Bro? asked the young rchant. He had played this ga for a while, but he still hadnt even seen a single rpeople Card before. Although rpeoples level wasnt as high as dragons, the level of difficulty to obtain its card was considered harder than dragons.
Yes, I have. But can I ask for sothing first? said Sila.
A big smile ford on the young rchants face. He nodded to allow Sila to ask any question. anwhile, Varee was sohow surprised by the fact that Sila was so lucky to obtain the card. But after reconsidering the fact that Sila had killed many rpeople, it shouldnt be so weird for him to obtain one or two cards.
How many cards are required? asked Sila. He thought if a large number of cards were required as the sli race, what he had wouldnt be much helpful.
Hearing that, the rchant made a sad face. He perceived that Sila only had one card, which was a common scenario. It was not sothing easy to obtain.
It requires ten cards to change into rpeople race, and twenty more cards are needed to obtain the Invitation Card to its kingdom, he replied softly. If he bought one card from Sila, he would still need twenty-nine more cards to fulfill his goal.
Sila nodded, Good, I just feared that it might not be enough. He said before putting out all seventy-four rpeople Cards to the rchant.
Varee and the rchant were shocked beyond words. The rchant extended his hand to take them and inspected them via his system window. His hand was shaking heavily.
Th-Th-Th-The real deal, this many? the rchant began to stutter.
Varee looked at the card pile with amazent. Although it was true that Sila had killed many rpeople, the number of rpeople that died shouldnt exceed three hundreds as she had witnessed. For the cards to drop this many, there must be sothing behind it.
Just take them. I already have a race myself, simply replied Sila.
B-B-B-Bro, I dont want this many. No, I an, I dont even have the money to buy all these.
In that case, just take them for free, Sila gave them easily like they were just candies left in his plate.
Varee looked at Sila while thinking that common sense couldnt be used to asure this man. She thought she had already seen through him, but he still had so actions that she couldnt comprehend. This man wasnt interested in external materials in the slightest.
F-F-F-For free? the rchant looked at Sila incredulously.
Sila, you may be unaware of their worth. These rpeople Cards are even more expensive than dragons. Theyre an item that people cant buy even if they have money, warned Varee. She wanted to verify whether Sila wasnt interested in cards or just didnt know their value.
Sila turned his head to the young rchant, seeing him nodding in agreent to Varees statent.
Why do you guys seem to be so shocked? Its not a big deal. I said I would give them for free so theyre free. Im going to sell them to the Card Shop anyways if you hadnt told all those craftsmanship things. (They could be sold for 2 gold coins each.)
Varee felt surprised but her face didnt show that. She could feel her heart beating slightly faster for no reason.
Sila thought that although they were expensive, they were just only in-ga things. Sure, he also needed so in-ga currency to spend. However, he was comfortable with what he currently had. He didnt have any financial problems.
He was unaware that this just only in-ga of him had ruined many friendships of people from the conflict of interests. Due to Monster Soul being a virtual reality ga online, so people took it for real that this place was another world that exists.
B-B-B-But I really cant just take them for free, considering how priceless they are, said the rchant as he was calming down.
Then, lets do it this way. Sila took out Jewel of the Sea. When you are ready, you will have to use this to your best to craft an accessory for this girl, okay? Silas words made Varee turn her head to look at him again.
This is an A-grade item, Jewel of the Sea, hmm. As expected of the rchant, he recognized it imdiately just by looking at it briefly.
Can you do that?
How can you believe in ? I may just take it away for myself.
I believe that I trust the right person, replied Sila. anwhile, Varees heart beat slightly faster. She felt that this man was different than others.
As thing was decided, the rchant spoke up Im Burapha.
My na is Sila, and this girl is Varee, Sila introduced themselves.
After that, the three of them added each other as friends. Burapha promised that he would contact Sila and Varee when the accessory was completed. By the way, Varee finally chose two jewelry pieces which Burapha didnt mind giving them for free. Although Sila wanted to pay for them at first, Burapha rejected the offer and said that he had received too much already. Granted, Sila understood and then walked away with Varee. They were still holding hands but Sila was sohow accustod to it already.
Two of them spent their ti around Beginning Town until other players began to appear. They checked the ti and realized that it was nearly 10.00pm, so they walked back to the Quest Building with many players glaring at them.
