"Little Lin, if we sell this equipnt, it should fetch a lot of money, right?"
Ren Lan hugged the equipnt, her excitent giving way to unease.
Although she hadn't been playing the ga for long, she knew that the drop rate for equipnt in "Tale of Immortal" was very low, making the prices quite high.
"The other two pieces of armor aren't expensive, maybe one or two thousand, but the gloves could go for a hundred to eighty thousand, and the Fire Fist skill around fifty thousand. When do you plan to settle the bill?"
Lin Jichen quoted the prices expertly, rubbing his hands together as if asking for money.
Ren Lan's heart pounded at the ntion of these prices, and she shyly said, "I don't have that much money. How about... paying in kind?"
Lin Jichen wasn't naive; he knew her too well to fall for that. If he agreed, he'd be in for a beating in no ti. He had experienced such baiting tactics many tis in his previous life.
"Forget it, I've sworn off such things," Lin Jichen replied without hesitation.
"Hmph, smart move."
Ren Lan snorted, looking down at the equipnt in her hands, seemingly making a big decision.
She handed the gloves and skill book back to Lin Jichen.
"I'll just take these two. You can sell the gloves and book; they're too expensive."
Lin Jichen didn't reach out to take them, laughing, "Just keep them. They were ant for you. If I wanted to sell them, I would have done so already."
"But these are worth a couple of hundred thousand. If we don't sell them now, they might depreciate as more equipnt becos available," Ren Lan suggested.
"True, but the value of these two items can't be asured in money. If you get stronger sooner, you can find even better equipnt for . This is just an early investnt. Just use them," Lin Jichen said.
"I'm not good at gas and have no talent. Investing in is a waste. No, no, you should find soone else," Ren Lan insisted.
"Who said you have no talent? Isn't the Immovable King a talent?"
Lin Jichen rolled his eyes, "Please don't confuse computer gas with this one. I'm sure you'll beco a top player in this ga."
"Really?" Ren Lan was half-convinced.
"Of course. With your innate talent and my guidance, even a pig could soar."
"You're the pig!"
Though still a bit anxious, Ren Lan felt more confident with Lin Jichen's assurance.
"By the way, when I joined our sect, an Inner Temple elder took a liking to and said he wanted to take as an Inner Temple disciple."
Ren Lan rembered and reported to Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen's eyes widened, "No way! Are you serious?"
"Why would I lie? But the elder gave a task, saying I have to complete it before I can beco his disciple. I was planning to do it after eting you."
Lin Jichen was at a loss for words. This girl was really going to soar! Even without his help, with the Immovable King and as an Inner Temple disciple, she could beco a top player. Unfortunately, in her previous life, Ren Lan didn't play "Tale of Immortal" and missed out on such a great opportunity. Luckily, it wasn't too late now.
"What's the task? Let see if it's difficult," Lin Jichen asked urgently.
Becoming an Inner Temple disciple was too important; he had to help Ren Lan achieve it.
"I don't know if it's difficult. I just have to go fishing."
"Fishing?"
"Yes, I have to catch a Red Carp at the Demon Perch Lake within two days and give it to him to pass."
Lin Jichen thought to himself, as expected, it wasn't that simple. He knew Demon Perch Lake, a famous place in Huafeng Province, where a type of Red Carp lived. The fish was extrely delicious, tender, and full of spiritual energy. Selling it to a restaurant could fetch a lot of Spirit Stones. Many new players liked to fish there to earn Spirit Stones. However, the lake was also ho to many river demons who loved eating Red Carp. If they saw soone catch a Red Carp, they would imdiately swarm to snatch it. The river demons were generally at the early stage of Qi Refining, with so even at the middle stage. They liked to live in groups, so they would co in large numbers. If Ren Lan went there without knowing anything, even if she caught one, she would definitely be killed and robbed by the river demons.
The task had to be completed within two days. For Ren Lan, even if she reached the middle or late stage of Qi Refining in two days, it would still be difficult.
"Let's go. Put on the equipnt, learn the skills, and I'll take you to complete the task."
Lin Jichen was determined to make Ren Lan an Inner Temple disciple.
"You're going to help with the task? How embarrassing~"
Lin Jichen didn't respond, waiting for her next words.
"Hurry up, Little Lin!"
Lin Jichen gave a resigned smile. He knew her too well.
"Do you even know where Demon Perch Lake is?" Lin Jichen teased.
"Oh right, should I go back and ask the elder?"
Lin Jichen rolled his eyes, "Finding Demon Perch Lake is part of your task. If you ask, they'll think you're an idiot."
"But I don't know where it is. The map is so big. That old man is just ssing with . I'll go back and beat him up!" Ren Lan fud.
"With your Qi Refining level, he could crush you with one finger. In this ga, you must treat sect elders with respect, as if they were real people. Don't think of them as just ga data," Lin Jichen seriously corrected her.
He was afraid she would act like those clueless players who cursed at elders or didn't follow sect rules. Even if an elder took a liking to them, their behavior and character would make them miss out on great opportunities.
"Is it necessary? It's just a ga," Ren Lan couldn't understand, not being soone who had been reborn like Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen wasn't in a hurry. He patiently explained, "This ga is very realistic. Your attitude towards NPCs affects their favorability towards you. High favorability makes it easier to get unique tasks. Trust and do as I say."
"Alright, I get it. I promise I won't ss around," Ren Lan said, seeing Lin Jichen's serious expression.
Little Lin wouldn't lie to her.
"Of course, this only applies to friendly NPCs. For those with strange or malicious intentions, as long as you have the strength, feel free to beat them up."
"Understood, sir!" Ren Lan answered playfully.
"Let's go. I know where Demon Perch Lake is."
Lin Jichen walked ahead, calling back to her, "Hop on."
"What?"
"Get on my back. I'll fly us there."
Ren Lan hesitantly climbed onto Lin Jichen's back. Then, they soared into the sky, and she scread in excitent.
Lin Jichen thought she would be scared at first, but he had underestimated this crazy girl.
