Chapter 6: Opening of the Server

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Returning to the village, he went beside an NPC beauty. Her body was well-proportioned and her eyes were bright. Her dark purple bodycon dress perfectly accentuated her figure, making her look deep and mysterious.

The NPC beauty said, “Brave adventurer, what do you need? I have all kinds of powerful potions for your reference.”

[Life Recovery Potion: 20 gold coins (150 health points replenished)]

[Life Recovery Potion for pets: 20 gold coins (150 health points replenished)]

[Temporary Defense Potion: 30 gold coins (30 points increase in defense for 2 minutes)]

[Temporary Defense Potion for pets: 40 gold coins (25 points increase in defense for 2 minutes)]

[Temporary Agility Potion: 30 gold coins (20 points increase in agility for 1 minute)]

[Temporary Agility Potion for pets: 40 gold coins (20 points increase in agility for 1 minute)]

…

Looking at the dazzling introduction, although James Williams was very much tempted to buy them, he did not have much money on hand and had to save up. He bought two bottles of Life Recovery Potions, which cost him and his pet 20 gold coins each.

Then, he rushed to the last mission, which was to kill the red-eyed bull and take the red-eyed bull’s horns.

There was still one minute left before the opening of the server. If James Williams could not get the red-eyed bull’s horns within this one minute, once the other players start this mission, he would not be able to obtain enough bull’s horns and thus would not be able to complete the village chief’s mission.

Looking at the red-eyed bulls gathered in front of him, before James Williams could launch an attack, the herd of red-eyed bulls charged at him with a puff of smoke and dust.

‘They really are red-eyed bulls considering how they started attacking without reason,’ James Williams thought to himself.

After dodging the red-eyed bull before him, he saw from the corner of his eye that another red-eyed bull had already arrived in front of him. Before he could defend himself, he and the kitten were sent flying.

– 72!

– 86!

Looking at the damage that the red-eyed bull had done to him and the kitten, James Williams could not help but gasp. How many hits could he and the kitten take? There was still a group of red-eyed bulls in front of them.

He hurriedly drank the Life Recovery Potion. A green glow gradually appeared around the man and the kitten, slowly flying into their bodies. Their HP began to increase.

+ 10

+ 10

+ 10

…

Voodoo Mist and Energy Fluctuation were simultaneously fired.

He noticed that the range and damage of the skills had increased. James Williams knew that this was because he and the kitten had leveled up. After all, he still had the combat experience and skills from his previous life. This was why he dared to challenge the red-eyed bull that could only be killed at level 4.

As for the level 3 kitten’s Energy Fluctuation, it seemed to have become slightly different. Upon closer inspection, the ripples that were being emitted not only slowed down and caused damage to the bulls but also carried some electric currents, causing secondary damage to the red-eyed bulls.

– 60

– 82

– 60

…

The area-of-effect damage from the two of them hit the herd too quickly. One red-eyed bull after another fell to the ground. Correspondingly, James Williams’ and the kitten’s experience points were increasing.

A light pillar lit up. Level 3! Level 4! He had actually risen to level 3, while the kitten had risen to Level 4!

That was right. He and the kitten could be considered to have performed cross-ranked killing. It was only natural for the experience points they received to be greater.

He hurriedly touched the corpse.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a low-level bronze tank skill book, Savage Charge.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a pair of broken bronze straw sandals that can increase your agility by 7 points.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 3 silver ox bones!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a broken bronze iron sword.]

Looking at the rewards he received, James Williams’ eyes almost lit up. He could wear the bronze sandals himself, but the best reward was still silver ox bones. This was a good material. Once he gathered some other materials, he could forge a silver weapon.

Thinking of this, James Williams remembered that he had yet to see his special identity’s skill.

[Special identity: Forger]

[Skill: Basic Forging Fire. The highest-skilled weapon that could be forged was a low-level silver weapon.]

Every weapon and skill book was divided into three levels, being low-level, middle-level, and high-level. They all had different attribute bonuses.

He could forge low-level silver with his basic Forging Fire. If this news was spread out, all the unions would fight tooth and nail to recruit him.

After putting away the items, he saw that there were already 200 red-eyed bull horns and more than 420 gold coins. Now, James Williams had a total of 744 gold coins on him. If he sold these unwanted items, he would at least have over 1,000 gold coins.

These items were all broken, so he could not sell them for a good price. He took out his bronze iron sword and bronze straw sandals and began to use Forging Fire to temper them.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations on upgrading the broken bronze iron sword to a complete bronze iron sword.]

[Congratulations on upgrading the broken bronze straw sandals to complete bronze straw sandals.]

[Bronze iron sword: Attack +20, no other attributes.]

[Bronze straw sandals: Agility +15, no other attributes.]

After putting on the bronze straw sandals, James Williams returned to the village. He saw beams of light descending from the entrance of the Novice Village. It was obvious that the server had been opened. The people from New York had already arrived at the 001 Server.

Everyone’s attention was clearly focused on their pets and the novel Eternity Continent. Not many people paid attention to James Williams who was already standing in the Novice Village.

When he came to the blacksmith’s shop, the muscular NPC came before him. “Hey, adventurer, do you want to buy something here?”

[I do need some things. Weapons, clothing, and shoes.]

[No, I’m at the wrong place. I don’t need anything.]

[I want to sell some things that I don’t need.]

After choosing to sell, he took out the bronze iron sword and handed it to the NPC.

“Adventurer, I can offer 200 gold coins for this complete bronze iron sword.”

Hearing this, James Williams frowned. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the price. The equipment that he fought so hard for was only worth 200 gold coins and this was a complete weapon!

He took out the low-level bronze tank skill book.

“Hehe, adventurer, I can give you 250 gold coins for this low-level bronze tank skill book.”

James Williams did not say much. He kept both the items and left.

It seemed that the price here was too heavily suppressed. They purchased items at a low price to sell them at a high price. According to his thoughts, this complete bronze iron sword could be sold for at least 300 gold coins.

There was also the low-level bronze tank skill book. Although it was low-level, from the looks of it, the skills that a level 1 tank possessed would be far inferior to this low-level tank skill book. The starting price should at least be 300 gold coins. 

What if…

An idea came to James Williams’ mind..
