Chương 37: PREPARATION

WHEN Luo Yan played the PC version of Arcadia, he rarely bought crystal coins. All his in-game coins came from the rewards he gained from doing different tasks. The materials he had also came from boss raids and exploring dungeons. He also got materials from PK-ing other players. So there wasn't really any need for him to spent any money at all.

He was just a poor scholarship student then, where would he get the extra money to buy crystal coins? It didn't matter anyway since he could still get high quality weapons, accesories, and armors by working hard in the game. But now he suddenly had 2,000,000 crystal coins.

He felt like he suddenly became like one of those gamers who used money so they could have all the best materials in-game money could buy. Well, unlike those types, at least he had the ability to back that up. He wouldn't dislike these crystal coins his father and brother bought for him. After all, it's just one of their ways they showed their love. He'd just make sure to put it to good use.

Finished with that, he finally thought of the hidden event task he was about to do. After he got over the surprise about the dragon, he realized that the probability of him going up against it was actually pretty low. This was just the Origin Village. Even if he encountered a hidden event, it was still designed for beginners. If a beginner was asked to fight with a dragon, then their defeat was inevitable. Which would make this task impossible for a beginner to finish.

So, the real purpose of this hidden event task was not to defeat the dragon but to make sure that he wouldn't awaken it. Which meant that he had to do this task of looking for Filli as quiet as possible. The invisibility cloak he got from finishing the additional task would definitely come in handy. Aside from that, he also planned to buy some items. Just to be prepared.

After all that thinking, Luo Yan finally went out of his small cottage. His first stop was the Pharmacy.

"Noctis, what would you buy today?" asked the female Pharmacist when she saw him.

"I'd like to buy 100 large red potion, as well as 100 large purple potion and 100 large yellow potion," he said.

"Okay, please wait awhile."

Soon, three boxes were presented to him. One had vials of red liquids, the other had vials of purple liquids, and the last one had vials of yellow liquids. When he put the three in his Items Tab, he also checked their informations.

Large Red Potion: An item that could restore 5000 HP. Cost - 500 crystal coins.

Large Purple Potion: An item that could make the opponent sleep for 10 seconds. Cost - 1000 crystal coins.

Large Yellow Potion: An item that could stun an opponent for 10 seconds. Cost - 1000 crystal coins.

Both the purple and yellow potions would turn into gas once it was thrown into the opponent. Its effect would took place then.

He now had 11 opened grids in his Items Tab. He decided to open 20 more using his crystal coins which costed 10 crystal coins per grid. This way he wouldn't worry about his Items Tab being full.

After leaving the Pharmacy, Luo Yan went to the opposite Weapon's Shop.

"Noctis, what would you buy today?" asked the Weapon Master.

Luo Yan couldn't help but smile because the Weapon Master had the same welcoming statement as the Pharmacist. "I'd like to buy twin daggers."

That was his weapon of choice when he was still playing the PC version. Daggers were usually used by the Assassin class. You could either choose to use one dagger or two. In his case, he preferred to use two daggers when fighting. Because two handed weapons could improve the power of an Assassin's active skills.

"Then please look here," the Weapon Master said gesturing towards one of the shelves.

It had three pairs of daggers. All looked particularly similar but Luo Yan knew they differed in grades. All three pairs had long thin blades that curved slightly at the end. Its hilt was ebony black. A huge contrast to the silvery sheen of its blade.

"Which one has the highest grade?" he asked.

Like accesories and auxillary items, a weapon's grade could be differentiated into D, C, B, A, S, and SS. D being the lowest and SS being the highest.

"This one," the Weapon Master said picking the one on the rightmost side. "It's an A grade weapon."

A grade weapon? Not bad. He expected that the limit of the weapons here in the Origin Village would be at most B grade. In this way, he could use this weapon until he found enough good materials to assemble one of his own. Usually custom made weapons had better quality compared to those readily bought ones. Of course, that depended on the materials used to forge the weapon.

But then, he read from the game manual that in this VR version, players could no longer make a weapon on their own. It's because of the two special classes added to the game - Alchemist and Blacksmith. If a player wanted to earn money inside the game, then they could choose one of those two special classes. Alchemist could refine all kinds of potions. Blacksmiths, on the other hand, could forge weapons, armors, and accesories.

They could put up shops in the game's towns and sell the things they made there. The crystal coins they earned could then be converted to RMB and would be deposited straight to their bank accounts. He must say, it's a great way to earn money.

So, this meant that Luo Yan needed to find a very skilled Blacksmith. But that was still kind of like a long way to go. He would first finish this hidden event task first and then go out of the Origin Village.

"How much?" he asked the Weapon Master.

"20,000 crystal coins."

If he didn't have more than enough crystal coins, then he would definitely cursed the game because it was too expensive. But then again, this was just the start so no beginners would probably buy this. He's an exemption because he's now rich. Going with this pricing, SS grade weapons would definitely be in the hundreds.

He paid for the twin daggers and immediately equipped it.

Next, Luo Yan went to the General Store located beside the Weapon's Shop. In Arcadia, General Store usually sold spells, materials used for forging weapons and refining potions, and all the other items that a player could need.

When he entered the General Store, it looked like a small supermarket. Because this was just the Origin Village, the materials sold here was not that much in comparison to a General Store in a much bigger town.

There was a female elf standing behind the cashier's desk with the name 'Manager' at the top of her head.

"Noctis, what would you buy today?" she said with the same greeting.

"I want a teleportation scroll that would transfer people directly here in the village. Do you have one?"

Teleportation scrolls could usually transfer people to the town where you bought it. He was not sure if this Origin Village had one. But having one would definitely help him in this hidden event task.

"You're in luck, there's only one stock left. Would you buy it?"

Only one? Well, he guessed that's better than nothing. "Yes, please."

"That would be 5,000 crystal coins."

That expensive? Now he could finally feel the advantage of being a rich game tyrant.

He paid for it and put it in his Items Tab.

Now, he's finally done with his preparation. It's time to look for Filli.
