“You have the nerve to deceive me!” The old man glared daggers at Chu You, as though he would undoubtedly settle the score with this crazy disciple who had the audacity to play him if Chu You failed to give him a satisfactory response.
An invisible powerful wave of coercion emitted from the old man. All it required was for an idea to form in the old man’s mind, and Chu You would be torn into shreds in an instant.
Chu You narrowed his eyes slightly, and not a tinge of alarm could be found in his eyes. He even raised his head, looking scornfully at the old man as he slowly spoke.
‘I’m not joking, take it all out.”
“Haha, I have a thousand jars of Sunset honey. They cost 20,000 gold coins; can you afford it?” the old man asked coldly.
System: Do you want to buy the one thousand bottles of honey sold by the beekeeper old man?
A tinge of disdain flashed before Chu You, and he chose to accept. 200 gold coins were instantly deducted from Chu You’s remaining amount. At the same time, one thousand jars of honey appeared in Chu You’s bag.
Ha, another 50 000 experience points. Chu You’s heart was delirious with joy. It was just that 50,000 experience points was still not enough to promote him to level 8.
“I’m not just going to finish these. In fact, I can finish all the available honey that you have for sale!” After purchasing such a high volume of honey, Chu You couldn’t help but feel a little pressed for time internally. Would he be able to be promoted to level 10 through this old man?”
After getting the coins, the old man’s mood became much better. The young man before him was indeed equipped with the quality of prominent talent. His tone became slightly more gentle. “Do you know how long it takes me to refine a jar of honey?” The old man raised a finger while looking at Chu You. “One week!”
“You think I have a limitless supply? The 1000 jars of Sunset honey I just sold you are already all I have for the past few years.”
The old man looked at Chu You, and with an indescribable look in his eyes, he slowly said, “Hurrying to improve your cultivation is not worth it. Without a strong foundation, pulling the shoots to help them grow is only going to bury hidden trouble for your future.”
Chu You understood the meaning of these words. That was to advise players to get used to the rules of the game properly, and to not be overly anxious about promoting. The amateur village was the best and only practice ground for new players. Deaths there would not result in one losing their experience points or the popping out of gear. Heaven provided players with ample opportunities to realize its limitless charm, opening the mind of the players.
“Thanks for your reminder, just that…I know my path the best. Pardon my big talk, but the training here is already ineffective to me,” Chu You said with a low and powerful tone.
Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to sigh indistinctly. “You are the most intriguing practicing disciple that I’ve come across from Yan Nation at the moment.” He looked at Chu You, a look of affection suddenly appearing in his eyes. “Just a bit too proud…”
Being able to get such a high level of appraisal from a NPC, Chu You accepted it silently. He did not think that this was wrong at all. To most players of the recent Heaven, Chu You could be described as the number one for everything.
“Old mister, lend me a hand. Sell me all your honey that is available for selling, no matter what grade it is, or how expensive the price is. I want it all!” Chu You said with an imperative tone.
The old man nodded his head slowly. “If that’s the case, then I shall lend you a hand. The quiet thousand years of peace in the seven nations of Huaxia is going to be disrupted soon. In the near future, the land of Huaxia might be plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering. Not just that, different tribes will also eye each other covetously. You…Silent Night, I hope you don’t let this old man down.” The old man lifted his head up to look at the sky and spoke worriedly.
After he finished, Chu You realized that in his field of vision, the old man’s list of items for sale appeared before him.
‘Falling star honey.’ After consuming it you will grow 100 experience points. One jar is priced at 80 gold coins. Players can only purchase at most 500 jars from the old man.
‘Concentration honey.’ After consuming it you will grow 500 experience points. One jar is priced at 10 gold coins. Players can only purchase at most 100 jars from the old man.
Chu You just handed over his mission earlier, clearing up two slots. He then bought the Sunset honey, leaving him with one last empty slot. Without even thinking, Chu You threw an ordinary piece of gear onto the ground before proceeding to purchase all the honey on the list in one shot.
“From you, I can somehow see the shadow of the future supreme. Okay that’s all, I don’t have anything else to offer as my help to you, you can go back…” The old man waved his hand at Chu You, gesturing for him to leave.
Chu You bowed slightly, and then he strode towards the path.
Chu You did not observe his surroundings, but instead he looked a bit under the weather, his mind already recollecting the later episode of the game from his past life…
Huaxia district was the district with the most number of Heaven players. In order for the game to be balanced, Huaxia district was split into seven large divisions of a country. However in the eyes of the players from big districts abroad, Huaxia district was just one body.
The reason why it was done like this was to not allow extremely super and large nations to appear at the start of the game. This way, Huaxia district, which had the highest concentration of players, would have no time to attend to other large areas, and might even overlook the miraculous new mainlands.
In his previous life, even when it was the final moment before Chu You was reborn, Huaxia district still did not unify, as it was still stuck in a state of civil war like before. It even suffered the invasion of an entire nation because of a few players from other large areas. Back then, the Huaxia players were seriously extremely depressed. They undoubtedly had a formidable strength that was one of a kind, yet when it came to dealing with external rivals, they couldn’t even showcase 10% of their strength.
In this lifetime, he…should maybe do something, Chu You’s eyes revealed a look of enlightenment.
Not long after, Chu You appeared in a quiet and secluded plot of forest. Seeing his bag full of honey, Chu You chose to sit on top of a big stone, and he started eating away. With every jar of honey he finished, he had to wait for a second of cooling CD. Chu You had 1600 jars of honey with him in total…
He mentally counted his XP. He could reach level 9, but as for level 10 where he could change his occupation, there was still one segment of experience for which he had to rely on himself to promote his level.
No matter what, he was already very near the stage of changing occupations. At the thought of this, Chu You couldn’t help but look forward to this.
At this moment, while Chu You was feeling bored, he suddenly recalled something. He hurriedly opened his list of friends on his chat interface, and then with just a glance, Chu You saw that Lin Luoer’s profile photo was grey, indicating that she was never online.
What was going on? Chu You couldn’t help but raise his suspicion. He did not have the phone number of her either. Trying to contact her would be difficult. Forget it. The god nanny from his previous life couldn’t possibly not be online. It looked like she had some things to attend to in real life. Her family’s situation…Chu You slowly shook his head.
Just when he continued to eat his honey, a hint from the system suddenly caused Chu You’s pupils to shrink abruptly!
You have been locked on as a target by a player, please be vigilant!
Chu You dropped what he was doing instantly, and his eyes started to quietly look around.
Why did such a hint appear? The awareness attribute of the player had to be brought up then. Awareness, as its name implies, possesses the attributes of a radar. The higher the awareness of a player, the more sensitive he would become to his surrounding environment. For Chu You’s situation, this meant that an assassin who had mastered the skill of hiding himself was observing him secretly.
Apart from increasing when a player levels up, the player’s awareness could also improve through some mysterious high quality goods. Apart from these, no other gear could help to raise the awareness of a player.
To a player, if his own awareness managed to suppress the awareness of another player, no matter where the other player hid within a small scope, the party with the stronger awareness would be able to find the other party no matter what.
Chu You had the addition of Godhead, and he had been promoted to level 7 now. He had 12 points of awareness attribute, and the other party…would only have 1 point of awareness attribute at most. 12:1, this is a strong suppression force.
In a quiet and secluded environment with not many people around, the effects of this attribute of awareness would show up very clearly!
Looking at the empty surroundings, Chu You lowered his head. No one knew what this tall and slender player was thinking about while sitting on a rock…
And at this moment, a beautiful ferociousness had already formed on Chu You’s face along with the shadows.
