“What? Sold?”
Alice scratched her head when she heard Jeff’s answer.
She did not expect to be sold so quickly.
“That’s right, but there are other pieces of equipment and skill books. Do you want them?” Jeff continued.
Hearing this, Alice took a deep breath and calmed down.
She came late, so she could not blame anyone else.
Then, she looked at the pieces of equipment on the ground.
In the next moment, she could not help but take another deep breath.
“Linley, I really do suspect that you robbed the game system.”
“Forget about the orange equipment, there are actually two skill books?” Alice said slowly.
“It’s just luck. President Alice, which one do you want?” Jeff laughed.
“I want all of them!”
“How much?” Alice spoke.
“All?” Jeff asked uncertainly.
“Right, how much is it?” said Alice.
“Orange equipment costs 10 gold coins, skill books cost 30 gold coins each.”
“A total of 100 gold coins.”
Jeff calculated.
The next moment, 100 gold coins were delivered to Occam.
“Linley, in the future, if you want to sell anything, please prioritize the Elves Guild. We won’t let you suffer any losses.”
“You forgot after I told you last time. Remember next time.”
Alice gave Occam a resentful look.
“I will,” Occam said flatly.
This was really his fault.
The person in front of him was a rich lady.
There was no harm in building a good relationship.
However, Occam did not take it to heart.
Because he, Annie, and even Jeff were not short of money.
After Alice left, Occam directly transferred 50 gold coins to Jeff.
Although Jeff did not care, he could not take all the advantages for granted.
Jeff was the one who brought him and Annie into the Mystic Realm Dungeon.
The same thing.
He did not lack money.
Although he was lazy, he knew the ways of the world.
Jeff was a talkative man, but he was a worthy friend.
Jeff was stunned when he received the gold coins.
“Guru Linley, what are you doing?”
“I have already said it. Thanks to you, I have gained quite a bit of experience from the Mystic Realm Dungeon. I am already very satisfied.”
“Aren’t you treating me like an outsider?”
…
Occam ignored his words.
On the other side, Annie had completed her Class Advancement mission.
She walked over and smiled.
“Just take it. If you don’t accept it, believe it or not, he can force it to you and then remove you as a good friend.”
Jeff was stunned.
He felt that this was really possible.
“Then I’ll take it.”
“By the way, I’m going to build a guild in the game. Are you guys coming?”
Jeff finished and looked nervously at Occam.
“Sure, we’ll definitely go.”
Annie said with a grin, then looked at Occam.
His attitude was self-evident.
What else could Occam say?
He nodded to Jeff.
Jeff was delighted to see them agree.
“Oh right, Occam is already Level 17. Let’s find a place to level up.”
“I need to reach Level 20 as soon as possible,” Annie said.
Jeff naturally would not refuse.
Then Annie dragged Occam out into the wilderness with Jeff.
After walking out of the town, Annie sighed and summoned the Spirit Deer to carry Occam.
She felt like she was about to become Occam’s chauffeur.
Annie blushed when she felt a real touch behind her.
Why did he choose this class back then?
At this moment, Occam did not know what she was thinking.
He had already used the “Life Halo” skill book and was checking the effects of the skill.
[Life Halo] (0 / 10+): Passive skill
[Current level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Consumption: None
Skill Effect: Increases health by 1%
[Next Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Consumption: None
Skill Effect: Increases Health Points by 1.5%
The effect of this skill was not that great.
But it was still useful to Occam.
He still had six Skill Points left.
Occam directly added this passive skill.
Talent “10x Points” worked.
“Life Halo” (6 / 10+): Passive skill
[Current level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Consumption: None
Skill Effect: Additional 60% Health Points
[Next Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Consumption: None
Skill Effect: Additional 70% Health Points
Seeing the effect of the skill, Occam nodded in satisfaction.
His HP immediately reached 60,000.
The damage was naturally higher.
Now, he could call himself a mobile artillery.
By this time, the three of them had reached the Twilight Forest.
Many players were leveling up in Twilight Forest.
After nearly two days, many players reached Level 10.
Add to that the Mystic Realm Dungeon that Jeff had discovered earlier, after being conquered by Occam, it had become a leveling ground.
It attracted many players.
However, their target was not here.
The monsters in Twilight Forest were at most Level 10. Even those in the Wizard’s Tomb were at most Level 15.
They were heading to the Scarlet Plain behind the Twilight Forest.
It was a map that spawned 10 to 20 monsters.
The three of them passed through the Twilight Forest.
Along the way, they encountered many monsters.
However, before they could get close, they triggered Occam’s passive “Sacrifice” and were killed.
On the way, the three of them passed by the place where they had found the girl yesterday.
Annie looked over and remembered the girl’s parents. Her face darkened.
As childhood playmates, Occam naturally knew what she was thinking.
He grabbed Annie’s hand and shook it gently.
“This isn’t your fault.”
Annie nodded.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the front, and it was getting closer and closer.
A moment later, a group of soldiers wearing silver armor and holding sharp blades appeared in front of everyone.
The leader was a man with a resolute face. He was also wearing armor.
He was stunned when he saw the three of them.
After staring at the three of them for a moment, he frowned and asked with uncertainty.
“Are you God’s Chosen Ones?”
Occam and the other two knew that God’s Chosen One was what the NPCs in the game called players.
Hearing the man’s words, all of them nodded.
Seeing that they had confirmed it, the man heaved a sigh of relief.
“Let me introduce myself. I am the commander of the guards of Roland City, Balter.”
“We’re investigating an evil sorcerer who violated the laws of the empire.”
“Have you seen this person?”
As he spoke, Balter took out a yellow parchment.
A middle-aged man in a Mage robe was drawn on it.
“This person is a Mage from the Association of Mages in Roland City.”
“A few days ago, he sexually violated many girls and killed them. After that, he disappeared.”
“I’m under the orders of the City Lord to arrest him.”
Annie was stunned.
Then she turned to Occam.
Occam knew what she was thinking.
She suspected that the girl’s death was related to the Mage.
“Commander Balter, I encountered something similar yesterday.”
“A young woman was killed after she was sexually assaulted.”
Upon hearing Annie’s words, Balter’s eyes lit up.
“He really escaped to this place!”
“I hope that the three of you can help me catch this murderer.”
“I will reward you.”
Immediately, a system prompt sounded.
“Ding, Balter is currently issuing you a mission “Catch the Murderer”. Do you accept?”
“Mission details: Help Balter find the murderer and arrest him!”
“Time limit: 3 days.”
The three of them looked at each other.
This mission came unexpected.
