Chapter 4 Flying Rock

Chapter 16 Bartering

"Wait, what coordinates did you say? Are you sure there are a lot of Stealth skill books there?" the Holy Paladin asked, a sliver of belief flickering in his heart after hearing what Nie Yan said.

"22385.21338.23329. It's near the Fallen Wizard camp, but a safe distance away. After you've been there for twenty minutes, a Fallen Wizard will spawn every five seconds. Holy Paladin, you can grind there until Level 5. Kid, you're still green. Even just a few tips from this master can benefit you immensely," Nie Yan said shamelessly, patting the Holy Paladin on the shoulder. "How about another discount?"

"Four copper coins. I can't go any lower." The Holy Paladin was skeptical of Nie Yan’s words. However, he did get around six books a day farming outside the Fallen Wizard camp. He'd been to the Fallen Wizard camp before and almost died there. The coordinates Nie Yan gave should be outside the Fallen Wizard camp.

Nie Yan's words matched his experience perfectly. They should be accurate. The Holy Paladin pondered whether he should check out those coordinates.

"Three copper coins. If you don't agree, I'm leaving. If you're willing to give me one for free, I'll tell you some secrets about the Fallen Wizard camp." Nie Yan turned to leave, seeing the Holy Paladin still hesitant.

Nie Yan was short on money and didn't have much to buy Stealth skill books. However, a Stealth skill book was essential for every Thief early on. If he had to, he would earn some money at a Level 1 monster spawn point first.

"Wait." Seeing Nie Yan about to leave, the Holy Paladin quickly stopped him, taking a Stealth skill book from the stall. "It's just a Stealth skill book. I can farm six a day. I'll give it to you. Tell me what's going on with the Fallen Wizard camp." He was planning to farm the Fallen Wizard camp with his companions soon, so he really wanted to know the situation there. Nie Yan seemed like he knew a lot.

This Holy Paladin seemed like an honest person. Nie Yan felt great that he got a Stealth skill book without spending a single coin.

"Since you're so honest, don't go to those coordinates I just gave you. If you grind there, three Fallen Demon Wizard Leaders will come after you within five minutes, and they'll blast you with a fireball." Nie Yan said casually.

The Holy Paladin felt a chill down his spine and his heart sank. He was planning to try his luck at those coordinates because Nie Yan said the spawn rate was fast. He didn't expect them to be fake and so dangerous. If he hadn't stopped Nie Yan, he would have died for nothing.

*That Nie Yan is really cunning. He doesn't even have to do anything himself to screw people over.*

The Holy Paladin had been regretting the Stealth skill book, but now he was extremely grateful. A Stealth skill book was nothing compared to a life. The death penalty was a loss of one level and one piece of equipment. It turned out that being a good person had its benefits.

Seeing the Holy Paladin looking at him with resentment, Nie Yan smiled sheepishly and said, "The real coordinates are 22325.21383.23359. You can indeed get ten Stealth skill books a day there, and the grinding is fast. It's a good place to level up. I'm not lying to you this time. Consider this a reward for giving me a beginner skill book. As for the Fallen Wizard camp, it's a twenty-man dungeon. The Shield Warrior’s defense requirement is 72. The Paladin and Priest requirements are higher. The Paladin's Willpower must be 8, and the Priest must learn Lesser Heal and have a healing amount of 30. You must also bring enough health and mana potions."

"Those requirements are so high! My Willpower is only 7. Can I still enter? Lesser Heal skill books are too expensive. They've been speculated to a sky-high price, and there's no supply. Only one Priest in our team has it. Does this mean we can't enter the Fallen Wizard camp without meeting the requirements?" the Holy Paladin asked.

"You can enter, but you need a special strategy…"

"What special strategy?" the Holy Paladin asked.

Nie Yan smiled but didn't say anything. He might enter the Fallen Wizard camp later, so he wouldn't tell others the strategy unless they were willing to pay enough.

"All dungeons are divided into five difficulties: Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert, and Master. If you're not confident, you can choose the Easy difficulty. It's not too difficult. If you don't meet the requirements, you can improve yourself." Nie Yan changed the subject. He wouldn't tell him the strategy for the Fallen Wizard camp just for a Stealth skill book.

Although Nie Yan was only Level 1, he seemed very knowledgeable. The Holy Paladin weighed his options and decided to believe Nie Yan.

"Thank you," the Holy Paladin said sincerely.

Nie Yan chuckled. This guy gave him a Stealth skill book and still had to thank him. *He's really cute.* In his past life, he was also such an honest person, but after experiencing a lot, he slowly became slick. Although he thought the Holy Paladin was stupid, Nie Yan had a good impression of him. He waved the skill book in his hand and said, "We both got what we wanted."

Just as Nie Yan turned around, the Holy Paladin stopped him and said, "Expert, what's your name? Let's add each other as friends. I can ask you if I encounter any problems in the future."

"I charge a service fee," Nie Yan said. He didn't want to become a free customer service representative.

"No problem," the Holy Paladin agreed readily.

"Alright, my name is Nie Yan." If he could offer enough money, Nie Yan wouldn't mind giving him some information as a way to earn extra money.

"My name is Fei Lai Shi Tou, but my friends call me Shi Tou," the Holy Paladin said, adding Nie Yan as a friend.

"Okay, I have something to do. I'll be going now. See you." Nie Yan said goodbye to Shi Tou and walked towards the teleportation point. He learned Stealth. Thieves had less armor and health than other melee classes. Early on, they could only grind weak monsters of the same level, and they could only fight one-on-one. If they encountered a stronger monster or more than one, they could only run. Unlike Warriors, who could easily tank two monsters of the same level at the start, and with better equipment, they could tank three or more. Therefore, unless Thieves had a team, their leveling speed was always slower than Warriors, Mages, and other classes.

Currently, the highest level players were Level 5, and the highest level Thieves were a little over Level 4.

Thieves needed to constantly earn money early on to buy skill books. Only when they had a variety of skills could their strength be further revealed, and their leveling speed could gradually increase.

Now, Nie Yan had his first skill in his skill bar: Stealth.

Stealth. This was the most basic and also the most powerful skill for a Thief.

He teleported to Track Town. This was an ordinary town in the Calore Grasslands, a settlement for NPCs with houses made of earth, characteristic of a grassland town. There were many players leveling up here, so it was particularly lively.

The monsters around the town ranged from Level 0 to Level 10.

The town was full of Level 2 and 3 players, either trading items or looking for a team to grind monsters. It was crowded. Walking on the street felt congested.

If his memory was correct, there was a Silver Treasure Chest in the Wildcat monster area of Track Town. He had discovered it in his previous life while grinding monsters. It contained an excellent Thief skill book. That area was for Level 5 monsters, so no one should have been there yet.

Treasure chests were ranked from White Treasure Chests, Silver Treasure Chests, Golden Treasure Chests, to Dark Gold Treasure Chests and Legendary Treasure Chests. The higher the treasure chest's rank, the better the items it contained. The items inside the treasure chest were fixed. Once taken, the treasure chest would disappear.

Although he was only Level 0, with the Stealth skill, Nie Yan had his eye on that treasure chest.
