Chương 29: Exchange of Items, Searching for Xiao Rou
Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios
Zhou Han only smiled and did not intend to buy the clay pot.
After all, 10 gold coins each was very expensive in the early stages.
The odds were against it, anyway. If he bought it, he'd be at a disadvantage.
'I might as well spend the coins on something useful.'
Just as he was about to leave, another system announcement sounded.
[Server Announcement: Player Ou Huang has drawn King-grade equipment—Sea King Helmet.]
[Server Announcement: Player Gou Tuo has obtained a Starlight-grade weapon…]
[Server Announcement: Player Jia Feiqiu has drawn a King-grade accessory…]
...
The consecutive announcements completely woke up the players present.
Be it Starlight or King, as long as one obtained such an item, they would definitely be ahead of most players in the early stages.
Moreover, their ability to survive in the Godfiend Continent would be even stronger.
Everyone went crazy. If others could drop top-grade equipment, so could they.
There were many players with such thoughts.
Everyone was spending gold coins on clay pots, making the pottery merchant grin from ear to ear.
"F*ck, why are these people all so lucky? If it weren't for the real world, I would have suspected that they were scammers."
"Buy another one and try one last time. If not, I'm out."
"I don't believe it today. I insist on getting top-grade equipment."
"Ten, boss. I want ten in a row."
"I quit. I'll chop off my hands if I buy more. The odds are so low that I'm lucky I have any pants left."
"I'm so unlucky today. I'll try again tomorrow!"
Many players were impulsive and lost a lot of money. All of them wanted to cry but had no tears.
They could not compare to the lucky ones!
[You received 1 gold coin.]
[You received 5 gold coins.]
[You received 3 gold coins.]
After hearing the system's announcement, Zhou Han couldn't help but buy four clay pots to see if a miracle would happen.
The result was obvious. A complete loss.
Hopefully, the last one was good!
[You have obtained Overlord Body Potion.]
"Hmm?"
"Overlord Body Potion?"
Zhou Han's eyes lit up. It sounded good.
[Overlord Body Potion]
[Grade: Ordinary]
[Effect: After using it, you will be in the Overlord Body state for 30 seconds.]
[Description: In the Overlord Body state, you cannot be affected by the enemy's control skills.]
He took a look. It was just ordinary quality and could be considered a consolation prize!
After enhancing it twice, the effects were out. There were multiple damage reduction characteristics.
[Overlord Body Potion +2]
[Grade: Ordinary]
[Effect: After using it, you will be in the Overlord Body state for two minutes. The damage you suffer will be reduced by 50%.]
[Description: In the Overlord Body state, you cannot be affected by the enemy's control skills.]
"Right, I can use the Heart Protecting Lotus to exchange for others' items!"
Zhou Han suddenly thought of this. Perhaps he could exchange it for what he needed.
After all, there was no pot function yesterday, so everyone was penniless.
Things were different now. Many players had obtained high-quality items.
Thinking of this, Zhou Han immediately took action.
Zhou Han directly enhanced the remaining three Heart Protecting Lotuses three times.
After consuming it, it would increase 1,500 HP. In the early stages, it was definitely a life-saving divine artifact.
Zhou Han planned to test the waters first and sent a message on the public chat.
"A life-saving divine artifact, Heart Protecting Lotus. If anyone has anything good, you can trade with me!"
After sending the message, the players in the chat area were envious.
The HP increase effect caused a huge sensation.
"It's awesome, increasing 1,500 HP. As expected of Big Boss Zhou Han, it's a top-grade item."
"If I consume this Heart Protecting Lotus, I'll definitely soar in the early stages. Killing monsters will be easy."
"What a pity. I didn't get anything good. This thing is destined not to be mine."
"I'll open the clay pot now. I hope I can make it in time."
...
Soon, he received many private messages.
After choosing, there were two items that were more useful.
Zhou Han directly exchanged in the trading area.
They were the [Intermediate Experience Card] and [Guard Card].
Zhou Han did not exchange the remaining Heart Protecting Lotus for the time being.
Anyway, the transaction information was still hanging. He would go up and take a look later. Perhaps there would be something good.
[Intermediate Experience Card +4]
[Grade: Silver]
[Effect: After using it, you can obtain 7 times the EXP within 5 hours. (Including killing monsters, completing missions, and other EXP.)]
[Description: A one-time consumable that will disappear automatically after use. When in a team, the team members will share the experience buff.]
Seven times the experience was very impressive.
It was just a pity that Han Qinxue and her sister were not in the team and had missed a great opportunity.
[Guard Card +4]
[Grade: Silver]
[Effect: After use, you can summon a guard to protect the summoner for 3 hours.]
[Description: The summoned guard's combat power is twice that of the summoner. A one-time consumable that will disappear automatically after use.]
The upgraded Guard Card was also very effective.
If he summoned it, the guard that came out would be twice as strong as him.
It could be said to be very strong. His life was greatly assured with it.
After all the preparations were done, Zhou Han headed to a new area.
Opening the map, Zhou Han searched for his destination—the Valley of the Undead.
The wild monsters there were all Level 10 to Level 40, which suited Zhou Han's current strength.
The entrance to the Valley of the Undead was very deserted. After all, Zhou Han was the only one in this area who had reached Level 10.
As he approached, he saw only an old man nearby, pacing back and forth anxiously.
After seeing Zhou Han, his eyes were filled with joy as he hurriedly said, "Lad, are you heading for the Valley of the Dead?"
"Yes, sir. What can I do for you?"
Zhou Han had some guesses. It should be the start of a mission.
Perhaps it was because he was the first to reach Level 10!
No one was snatching this mission from him.
"I have a favor to ask of you. Please get my granddaughter back."
"Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
"My granddaughter, Xiao Rou, entered the Valley of the Undead yesterday to train, but she hasn't returned yet. She must be in danger. Ah, the little girl is making me worry. I'm so anxious."
[A new mission has appeared: Find Xiao Rou. Do you accept?]
"Accepted!"
Usually, the rewards for missions were a lot of experience points. It was much easier than simply killing monsters to level up. Zhou Han had no reason to refuse.
[Find Xiao Rou]
[Description: Save Xiao Rou and bring her to Grandpa.]
[Status: Incomplete]
[Location: Netherworld Swamp (Coordinates: …)]
"Old sir, don't worry. Leave this matter to me."
Zhou Han patted his chest and promised.
"Thank you very much. The Valley of the Dead is not simple. You have to be careful!"
Zhou Han nodded and walked into the entrance.
Chương 30: Poisoned Xiao Rou, Searching for the Antidote Pill

As the light from the entrance circulated, he opened his eyes again to a dark valley.
[Current territory: Valley of the Undead. This is a combat area. Please pay attention to your safety.]
[Attention: This area is a public area. Players from other regions may enter. Please treat it with caution.]
'Players from other regions can come too?'
'They can cross servers?'
Zhou Han immediately felt that it was interesting.
There should be foreign players in the other areas!
He had to increase his strength as well.
Although he was undoubtedly the first in Zone 666, Zhou Han did not know what the other regions were like.
Therefore, no matter what, increasing his strength was his top priority.
Zhou Han looked at the map. He was now 30 to 40 kilometers away from the Netherworld Swamp.
Moreover, he would pass by many wild monster strongholds along the way. There would definitely be battles.
Hopefully, five hours would be enough.
Soon, Zhou Han encountered the first wild monster stronghold—Skeleton Ridge.
In the mountains, broken corpses could be seen everywhere, and the surroundings were filled with a sinister and decaying aura.
Low roars sounded in Zhou Han's ears.
[Black Skeleton Armor]
[Grade: Silver]
[Level: 12]
[Life: 1,400]
[Attack: 422]
[Defense: 218]
[Skill 1: Black Armor Protection: Increases defense by 3 times within 1 minute. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]
[Skill 2: Bone Spur Assault: Use hard bone spikes to deal 2.3 times the attack damage to a single enemy. Cooldown: 22 seconds.]
[Description: Extremely powerful defense, recommended to carry armor-piercing equipment. Weaknesses are light and fire.]
The Valley of the Undead was indeed filled with powerful monsters!
He did not expect his first battle to be at the Silver-grade.
Even if the other party had triple the defense, it was only slightly more than 600 points.
Zhou Han's current attack power was 2,000. Coupled with the various attack bonuses in combat, the black-armored skeletons in front of him was nothing to worry about.
A black-armored skeleton's skull flickered with a green light.
It sneered cruelly and walked towards Zhou Han with huge bone sticks in its hands.
"Die!"
After using the Intermediate Experience Card, Zhou Han threw out a [Cross Slash].
-30574
-34892
He dealt more than 30,000 damage each hit.
A pile of shattered bones fell to the floor.
Immediately after, another [Sky Splitting Slash] killed most of the remaining skeletons.
Then, Zhou Han dealt with the remaining ones using normal attacks.
He didn't waste too much time. After all, EXP buff time was very precious.
[New skill has been unlocked. Please check it!]
Hearing the system notification, Zhou Han guessed that the second skill of the Lin Family Sword Technique had been unlocked.
After all, he had been using the Sky Splitting Slash all this time, so his proficiency was definitely enough.
After opening it, as expected, [Eight Directional Heaven Splitter] was successfully unlocked.
[Eight Directional Heaven Splitter +4: Gather all the strength in your body and slash the ground with your sword. Deals 9 times the damage to enemies within an 8-meter radius. They will be stunned for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]
After upgrading, Zhou Han tested it.
Not to mention how powerful it was, simply the image was shocking. The ground was cut open, and the cracks extended in all directions.
Moreover, this skill had a stun effect. It could be said to be very powerful.
Once he was surrounded by many people, he could use this skill to control them very well. The effect would definitely be very good.
After all, he would definitely encounter enemies like assassins in the future. They could easily enter close combat and this skill could prevent their sneak attacks.
After picking up the gold coins that dropped on the ground, Zhou Han continued to set off.
He spent two hours sweeping through all the wild monster strongholds on the route.
Zhou Han heaved a sigh of relief. It was much faster than he had expected.
It would definitely be faster when they got back. After all, it would be less of an obstacle to the wild monsters.
This way, five hours of buff was more than enough.
Now that he had reached Level 14, Zhou Han opened the interface and looked at his attributes.
[Zhou Han]
[Level: 14 (31.5%)]
[Class: Sword Soul (First Awakening at Level 25)]
[Health: 3,200+4,400]
[Attack: 1,040+1,000]
[Defense: 110+300]
[Talent: Infinite Enhancement]
[Title: Famous +3 (Attack +500)]
After reading it, Zhou Han closed the panel in satisfaction.
He was still a long way from Level 25. He still needed to work harder.
The place filled with hazy fog was the destination of this mission—the Netherworld Swamp.
After taking a look, Zhou Han walked in hesitantly.
[You have entered the Netherworld Swamp]
[A large amount of miasma has been detected. You will lose 500 HP per second.]
Hearing the system notification, Zhou Han was a little surprised.
He did not expect the damage of the miasma to be so high at 500 HP per second.
Fortunately, Zhou Han's act could recover 900 HP per second.
Otherwise, he would really die here today.
The Godfiend Continent was indeed very dangerous. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future. He could not underestimate any place. Otherwise, he would fail miserably.
Zhou Han's equipment ignored the terrain and allowed him to move freely around the swamp without affecting his movement speed.
The Netherworld Swamp was very large so Zhou Han searched for a few minutes before he finally found a young girl.
"This should be Xiao Rou!" Zhou Han guessed.
Her appearance resembling an eighteen-year-old suited the old gentleman's description.
However, the girl was in a very bad state. Her eyes were closed and her lips were black. She was lying motionless on the ground.
'Don't tell me she's dead!'
Zhou Han's heart was a little heavy. If the other party died, his mission would fail.
All his efforts would go to waste.
"Xiao Rou, are you alright?"
Zhou Han hurriedly leaned over to check on Xiao Rou.
He placed his hand on the side of Xiao Rou's nose and tested her breathing. It was very weak.
He also checked her pulse and confirmed she was alive.
"Looks like there's still hope. She's probably poisoned. We have to find a way to detoxify her."
After all, they were in the miasma. Not everyone had the equipment to recover health like Zhou Han.
"System, search for information on the Antidote Pill."
[No information has been found in the chat and trading areas.]
[The purification skills of the Clergyman can cure poison.]
[Killing the Cold Pool Poison Dragon has a certain chance of dropping an Antidote Pill.]
[There's a small chance of dropping the Antidote Pill after killing the Netherworld Poison Scorpion.]
...
The system gave a lot of information.
It was obviously impossible to become a Clergyman. In addition, the players in this area were not qualified to undergo class change.
The Cold Pool Poison Dragon was too far away. There was no need to consider this.
'The Netherworld Poison Scorpion?'
Zhou Han happened to discover that the Netherworld Poison Scorpion was a special creature in the Netherworld Swamp.
He immediately saw hope. The odds were slim, but that was all he could do for now.
Then, Zhou Han exchanged the last Heart Protecting Lotus in the trading area for a Health Recovery Pill.
