Free Web NovelChapter 90: Mistake 10
The male Warrior was excited after listening to Kashif. He was extremely interested in such a location. He still needed to wait for more than an hour to receive a Quest and the rewards he could obtain would only be EXP and some meager amount of money. If he could grind on monsters for an hour unhindered, the EXP he could obtain would far surpass that from the Quest.
"Of course there is. I’ll give you a preferential price of 20 Coppers if you want to go to such a treasured location. Don’t mention EXP; after grinding for a day, the materials you could obtain would earn you more than 40 Coppers. If you’re lucky, you could make a ton more if a piece of equipment drops," Kashif walked closer to the male Warrior, whispering into his ears.
"You’re not tricking me, right?" The male Warrior looked at Kashif with hesitation in his eyes. If there was such a treasured location, he could definitely surpass the other players by a lot; but 20 Coppers was not a small amount. The monsters in Divine World rarely drop money or equipment, so Copper Coins were incredibly precious.
"If you don’t believe me, you can pay 10 Coppers up front first. You’ll know just from trying after you arrive at the spot. If it’s true, you can then pay me the other 10 Coppers. I’m only telling you this because I see that you’re a good person. Just forget it, if you don’t believe me." Kashif turned and left after saying his piece.
Kashif wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t lack money. At worst, he’ll just use some other method to earn money.
Just after walking a few steps away, Kashif was stopped by the male Warrior.
"Expert, hold on a moment. Let’s talk about it, alright? Isn’t it just a deposit of 10 Coppers? Here, take it. I trust that an expert like you won’t trick me." The male Warrior revealed an honest smile, resolutely trading 10 Coppers to Kashif.
"Seeing your performance, I’ll give you a good location. Although this place is slightly far-off, there is only a single mage-type Level 0 Green Gnome."
"It has low defense and a quick respawn rate. Chances are also greater of money dropping. A Berserker would be great at killing there."
Kashif gave the Warrior a good grinding location after happily receiving the ten Coppers.
The male Warrior was relieved when he noticed how familiar Kashif was with the wild monsters, even to the degree of knowing the amount of money dropped. He never imagined he would be so fortunate as to meet an expert of God’s Domain and not just any expert; Kashif might even be a Beta Tester. The male Warrior became even more excited as he thought of this possibility.
"Brother Expert, do you know a location that drops skill books for Berserkers? It’s really hard to fight against mobs with only a single skill." The male Warrior was more fond of Kashif now, even treating Kashif as his superior.
"It’s fine if you want to know., but it’ll cost you 2 Silvers," Kashif smiled. Who would give out such valuable information after only a short conversation? Kashif would not unless there was money involved, of course.
The male Warrior paled when he heard the price. Two Silvers equaled 200 Coppers. Not even the average Guild would have that much money.
"Expert, let’s add each other as friends. I’m Lonely Snow. I’ll contact you again once I’ve saved up enough money." The male Warrior sent Kashif a friend request.
"Alright." Kashif accepted Lonely Snow’s request.
"Then I’m off to fight mobs, Brother Expert. I’ll mail you the 10 Copper immediately after I’ve saved up enough." Lonely Snow happily parted with Kashif, leaving the long queue and dashing towards the grinding location.
Now that Kashif had money, he walked towards the herb stall by the Village Hall. And after buying some, he goes inside the village Hall, he was greeted by sturdy oak walls adorned with simple yet elegant tapestries depicting scenes of local history and lore.
The interior of the village hall could be said to exude a sense of modest grandeur. The floors were made of polished stone, worn smooth by the countless footsteps of visitors and officials alike.
Large windows allowed ample natural light to filter into the space, casting a warm glow over the room. A simple chandelier hung from the ceiling, providing additional illumination when needed.
A few potted plants added a touch of greenery to the room, while maps and charts displayed on the walls offered information about the village’s layout and surrounding areas.
And near the entrance, a receptionist sat behind a small wooden desk, her demeanor professional yet friendly as she greeted visitors and directed them to the appropriate areas of the village hall.
With a warm smile, she welcomed players to the village and offered assistance with any inquiries they might have. freewebnøvel.com
"Hello, what can I help you with today, adventurer?" Upon noticing Kashif walking toward her, the receptionist smiled and asked gently.
Not beating around the bushes, Kashif directly responded, "Hi, I want to exchange a few rare herb recipes for money, and I wish to conduct the trade in a private room."
The receptionist, initially stunned by his request, quickly regained her composure.
"Adventurer, are you sure you want a private room to conduct the trade?" She asked, somewhat in a daze. "If the herbs recipes that you mentioned are indeed rare, then there would be no problem. But if it isn’t, then there’s a fee you must pay for such mobilization."
To summarize, the receptionist was trying to kindly warn Kashif of the consequences and to reconsider his decision.
After all, the current stream of players could barely get an upgrade in their gears, much less have rare herbs that the village might find valuable.
Hence, it wasn’t the receptionist trying to look down on Kashif, but it was the reality of the situation.
