When Tidus returned to the Novice Village, he discovered that half the village had already been set ablaze, with billowing smoke rising into the sky.
The poor NPC villagers' corpses were lined up from one end of the village to the other...
Among these corpses, Tidus unfortunately discovered the [Village Chief's] body.
Which meant he couldn't turn in his quest now and would have to wait until the next day for the village chief to respawn...
With no other choice, Tidus came to the central plaza in the village with a dejected expression and found the culprit, a massive wild boar about five meters tall and ten meters long, covered in golden light with a fierce aura, the Gold Boar King.
Name: [Gold Boar King]
Type: Hidden Boss
Level: Lv10
HP: 30000/500000
Skills: Thick Skin and Flesh, Flame City Burning, Savage Charge.
Description: When news of the mass slaughter of Pipi Pigs reached it, the Gold Boar King was furious. It vowed to destroy the adventurers' village to avenge its boar children and grandchildren!
The battle scene was extremely intense...
Thousands of players scattered around the plaza, launching a storm of attacks on the Wild Boar...
-15!
-12!
-10!
-13!
-7!
Most players were only level two or three, pitifully low-leveled with low damage output.
On the contrary, the enraged Gold Boar King could instantly kill a large swath of players with a single charge or a breath of fire...
"Let them fight for a while longer..."
The Boss still had 30,000 HP. Tidus wasn't in a hurry to make his move. He sat down not far from the plaza and set up a small stall. Well, he had spent half the day grinding monsters and had quite a few unnecessary equipment pieces and skill books to sell.
"Damn, what's wrong with this guy? Everyone's fighting the Boss and he's setting up a stall?!"
"Really has the leisure for it..."
"He's self-aware, knows he can't snatch the Boss, so might as well take advantage of the crowd to sell stuff and make some pocket money!"
"Heh, the server just opened, what goods could this guy possibly have..."
"Probably a noob..."
Due to the chaos at the scene, and since Tidus had hidden his equipment effects, the surrounding players mocked him, treating him as a clueless newbie. Not many people came forward to buy anything...
Not far away, Crimson Rose was commanding the [Blood Rose Garden] players to attack the Boss. She inadvertently turned her head and saw Tidus setting up his stall in the corner, along with the ID [Tyrant] displayed above his head.
This person was the [Tyrant] who had half of level 3 experience as soon as the server opened?!
Crimson Rose's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. She subconsciously walked toward Tidus, then her gaze casually swept over the stall. Instantly, her small mouth opened slightly and her breathing quickened...
[Knight's Oath Longsword] (Black Iron)
[Elite Warrior Pauldrons] (Black Iron)
[Sage's Cloak] (White)
[Magic Wolf Combat Boots] (White)
...
[Warrior, Power Strike] (White Skill)
[Knight, Hammer of Punishment] (White Skill)
...
Due to God World's extremely low drop rate, most players were currently wearing attribute-less newbie clothes, basically in a "naked" state. So even a white equipment piece could be considered quite rare. As for Black Iron equipment, there were only a few pieces in the entire Novice Village.
Yet on this stall, there were actually two [Black Iron] pieces, seven [White] pieces, and two decent [Skill Books]...
What moved Crimson Rose's heart the most was a knight class-exclusive weapon, the [Knight's Oath Longsword]. Judging by its attributes, it was a Black Iron top-grade item. If she could equip it, her chances of securing the Boss kill would increase significantly.
"How much for all this equipment? I'll take everything!"
Crimson Rose's ample chest was pounding. She was very curious about how [Tyrant] had obtained so much equipment, but wisely didn't ask random questions and directly inquired about the price.
"Black Iron weapon, 2000 gold."
"Black Iron pauldrons, 800 gold."
"Seven white pieces, bundled for 500 gold."
"Two skill books, bundled for 500 gold."
While quoting prices, Tidus sized up this future "one of the two queens of the East Coast region" with his gaze. He had to admit, her figure was explosive enough, slim waist, perky buttocks, full curves, and paired with her angelic and beautiful face, she indeed had the kind of temptation that made one want to give everything to her...
In God World character models resembled reality, so Crimson Rose must definitely be a stunning beauty in real life too...
Even compared to the pair of black-stockinged glasses girl and loli cat-eared girl he'd played with last night, she probably wasn't far behind...
"A total of 3,800 gold coins, I'll trade with you."
Being stared at so blatantly by a skilled player, Crimson Rose felt a bit shy and quickly spoke.
Well, 3,800 gold coins was roughly $340 to buy a few Black Iron and white equipment pieces, it was actually a bit expensive. But there was no choice. The server had just opened, and the [Blood Rose Garden] had to rely on these few pieces of equipment to compete for progression.
However, just as the transaction was about to be completed, a voice rang out.
"Lil bro, whatever the [Blood Rose Garden] is offering you, my [Overlord Alliance] will pay double!" A knight player with the ID [Domineering Peerless] above his head walked over arrogantly.
