Heim Fox, despite being only half-awake, had the charisma to lead the Holy Roman Empire and elevate it to new heights. Nie Yan considered for a moment. He wanted good equipment, and that meant dungeons. The equipment available in shops and auction houses was mostly second-rate. The various guilds wouldn't sell their best stuff. The only way to get top-tier gear was to join a dungeon team. Before he had his own team, the Holy Roman Empire's elite squad was a good option.

"In that case, just let me know when you're running dungeons," Nie Yan said.

Heim Fox's conversation with Nie Yan was overheard by Li Mahengdao. The situation for Dark Slaughter Guild became awkward. If he wanted to deal with Nie Yan, the Radiant Sacred Flame wouldn't allow it, and neither would the Holy Roman Empire. There was no way his guild could fight two guilds at once.

"Brother Li Mahengdao, give me some face. Let's drop this today. Nie Yan is a friend of mine," Heim Fox said with a smile, a hint of danger in his eyes. If Li Mahengdao persisted, the Holy Roman Empire wouldn't be as easy to deal with as Radiant Sacred Flame.

"Since Guild Leader Heim Fox says so, then we'll drop it." Li Mahengdao glanced at Nie Yan and Xing Zhihuihuang, snorted coldly, and said to his group, "Let's go."

Li Mahengdao led his group away.

Heim Fox walked over.

Watching Heim Fox approach, Xing Zhihuihuang looked at Nie Yan and said, "I didn't expect you to have connections with the guild leader of the Holy Roman Empire. Thanks for today."

Xing Zhihuihuang was unsure of Nie Yan's background. Heim Fox's politeness towards Nie Yan suggested that Nie Yan might have some hidden influence.

"We just met by chance. There's no deep connection," Nie Yan said with a faint smile.

"Oh, is that so?" Xing Zhihuihuang observed Nie Yan's expression. Nie Yan seemed to be telling the truth, but Heim Fox's attitude towards Nie Yan was worth considering.

"Brother Xing Zhihuihuang, good haul today," Heim Fox said with a friendly smile and calm tone, not mentioning the earlier unpleasantness. It was just a piece of equipment, after all. As a guild leader, Heim Fox had the magnanimity to let it go.

"Don't even mention it. If Brother Fox wants this golden armor, you can have it," Xing Zhihuihuang said, looking frustrated.

"Oh? Why is that? Is the equipment's stats bad?"

"It's not that the stats are bad. Take a look and you'll understand."

Xing Zhihuihuang shared the stats of the golden armor they had just obtained.

Breastplate of Courage (Gold Equipment): Level Requirement: 100

Stats: Defense 585-621, +5 Thorns Aura, +12 Prayer of Strength, +15 Counterattack

Weight: 38 lbs

Usable by: Warrior, Any Faction

"Hiss, Gold equipment, but, what a pity." Heim Fox first exclaimed in surprise, then sighed. This equipment was truly useless. It required level 100 to use. Who knew what the situation would be like after reaching level 100? How long would that take?

"Indeed, a pity. Finally got a piece of Gold equipment, good stats, but found out it can only be used after level 100. Even if we threw it in the shop now, probably not many people would want it," Xing Zhihuihuang said with a sigh.

No wonder Xing Zhihuihuang was so frustrated.

"It doesn't matter. Just keep it for now. Consider it a treasure of the guild," Heim Fox said with a smile.

"Haha, indeed a treasure of the guild." Xing Zhihuihuang laughed and tossed the golden armor into his backpack.

"Expert, nice to see you again. Maybe we can run dungeons together next time." Forbidden Holy Knight Flying Stone walked over with a smile to greet him.

"Mm," Nie Yan nodded.

Xing Zhihuihuang glanced at Nie Yan in surprise. The people from the Holy Roman Empire were calling Nie Yan an expert. Just how skilled was he?

"I have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. Guild Leaders, I won't disturb you any longer." Nie Yan said goodbye. He had many things to do.

The highest on the level榜 (level ranking) was already level six. Even Heim Fox and the others were level five. Nie Yan had indeed obtained a lot of equipment recently, but he still needed to catch up level by level. He didn't have much time to waste.

"Brother Nie Yan, don't forget what you promised earlier." Heim Fox saw that Nie Yan was about to leave and reminded him with a smile.

"Just give me three hours' notice before you run a dungeon," Nie Yan said.

"Let me add you as a friend," Heim Fox said, sending Nie Yan a friend request.

"Me too." Xing Zhihuihuang also said. He sent Nie Yan a friend request, and also sent one to Heim Fox. The Holy Roman Empire was stronger than Radiant Sacred Flame. If he could befriend Heim Fox, he would undoubtedly gain a powerful ally.

System: You are now friends with Heim Fox.

System: You are now friends with Xing Zhihuihuang.

In his previous life, Nie Yan only knew Xing Zhihuihuang. He sold many items to Xing Zhihuihuang using credit points. Xing Zhihuihuang would pay a price 10% higher than the market price, solving some of his urgent needs. Their relationship from the previous life had carried over to this life, which could be considered fate.

Nie Yan bid farewell to Heim Fox and Xing Zhihuihuang, and headed towards the teleportation array in Link Town.

Link Town had been ravaged and devastated by the Order Enforcers, and had been reduced to ruins with few buildings left.

"I can turn in the quest for Doctor Blavins, but I should buy bat teeth first," Nie Yan thought. After such a long time, players should have obtained quite a few bat teeth. As for Doctor Blavins, since he had issued the quest, Doctor Blavins wouldn't leave within the quest's time limit.

Nie Yan arrived at Modo Town, hung up a sign, and bought bat teeth for one copper coin per stack. A large crowd immediately gathered in front of the stall, bustling with activity. In Nie Yan's eyes, these people were all rolling in money.

"Brother, you're buying bat teeth again?"

"I have a stack here."

"I have a stack here too."

The trading scene was even more lively than in the morning.

The number of bat teeth in his personal warehouse rapidly accumulated. An hour later, Nie Yan's warehouse was filled with bat teeth, totaling more than three thousand stacks. The trading volume decreased. He ran to the other two towns, bought more than two thousand stacks, and traded all five thousand stacks of bat teeth to High-level Blacksmith Kardi, obtaining more than fifty silver coins in total.

Nie Yan checked his backpack and had a total of sixty-one silver coins.

This much money was already an unimaginable fortune for beginner players.

"I won't be able to buy many bat teeth today. I'll continue buying tomorrow," Nie Yan thought. He checked the time. June 7th. It seemed the day after tomorrow was the day the Sothis Valley dungeon, mentioned in the announcement, would open. At that time, many large guilds would probably go to Sothis Valley to clear it. He suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten this!

Sothis Valley was the last of the level-three dungeons. The boss, Traveling Worgen Buso, was difficult to deal with, and all the worgen in Sothis Valley had claws carrying dreadful poison. Many guilds would probably fail there. In his previous life, when he and his friends were running Sothis Valley, they mentioned that before Sothis Valley opened, the Black Phenol Potion, which cured the dreadful poison, only sold for two copper coins, and a Black Phenol Potion recipe only sold for sixty-plus copper coins. But once Sothis Valley opened, the price of Black Phenol Potions soared by 500% that day, and the price of Black Phenol Potion recipes soared by 1000%. That friend jokingly said that if he were reborn, hoarding Black Phenol Potions and Black Phenol Potion recipes would make him rich immediately.

What was once a joke had become reality for Nie Yan!
