Chapter 1 The Striking Upgrade of Starry Night Pharmacy

The upgrade of Starry Night Pharmacy was eye-catching. All branches were completely rebuilt as level seven pharmacies, and the headquarters was upgraded to level ten! How much money would that cost! Starry Night Pharmacy demonstrated its powerful economic strength to the outside world. For a time, pharmacists who wanted to join Starry Night Pharmacy became endless again. The benefits of Starry Night Pharmacy were also much higher than before. The continued expansion of branches and the joining of many pharmacists made Starry Night Pharmacy undoubtedly the dominant force in the pharmaceutical industry throughout the Greenland region. In addition to Starry Night Pharmacy, other chain industries also developed rapidly: alchemy, equipment, enchanting, disassembly, almost everything. These industries were smaller in scale and did not recruit on a large scale. Nie Yan only recruited a few people by name, just enough to develop two or three branches.

Starry Night Pharmacy had already done a great job to reach its current level. As for other industries, competition was fierce and it was very difficult to get involved. It was better not to do it if you were not sure about spreading things out too much. Steady progress was the key. The collapse of many companies often started with crazy expansion.

After all the Starry Night Pharmacy branches were upgraded, it was estimated that the profit on that day could reach more than 30,000 gold coins. In the future, as the number of pharmacists increased and players' demand for potions increased, profits would definitely continue to increase.

The great actions of Niuren Tribe and Starry Night Pharmacy immediately attracted the attention of players. Many players suddenly realized that Starry Night Pharmacy and Niuren Tribe were one family, no wonder they were so closely linked. With such a powerful backing as Starry Night Pharmacy, no wonder Niuren Tribe could stand tall against Zhan Dao Shi Xue for so long.

The reason why the name Nie Yan was awe-inspiring was not because of Nie Yan's personal skills, but more because of the strong power behind him.

After arranging the affairs of the guild, Nie Yan walked towards the Thieves Guild. He was going to take on the class advancement quest. The thief's class advancement quests were divided into five difficulties: simple, normal, difficult, expert, and master. The attribute rewards for class advancement were the same, but completing high-difficulty class advancement quests had additional item rewards. It was said that completing the master-level quest could reward a legendary item. However, Nie Yan didn't dare to do the master-level quest. It was said that countless masters in his previous life, including Sun and others, had tried the master-level difficulty, and none of them had passed.

The master-level difficulty was too difficult. If the quest failed, the quest penalty would be very heavy, and he would not be able to do the class advancement quest again within ten days. Nie Yan didn't dare to take this risk. He estimated that he could still do the expert level.

Soon, Nie Yan arrived at the entrance of the Thieves Guild. The Thieves Guild was an ancient building with a wooden structure. It looked very dilapidated and shaped like a spire, which had a unique style.

Nie Yan walked into the Thieves Guild. It was very dark inside, without even any lights. The dim interior was filled with rows of tables and chairs, which were a bit old. There were several NPCs in front of the hall. They were wearing cloaks, shrinking under the cloaks, hunched over, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes.

NPC thieves generally liked to wear cloaks. A legend was circulating in the Thieves Guild.

One day, a person wearing a cloak passed through a village. Three servants of the god of death were slaughtering civilians in the village. The person killed a servant of the god of death with his bare hands, so he got a sharp dagger called Hades' Dagger of the God of Death. He used this dagger to stab into the chest of another servant of the god of death and obtained the skill of invisibility. He used the skill of invisibility, hid behind the servant of the god of death, and pierced the heart of the last servant of the god of death with a dagger. He obtained the power of shadow.

His behavior angered the god of death. In order to avoid the pursuit of the god of death, he dared not show his true face from then on.

This was the origin of the thief.

These were just some legends, just listen to them. Nie Yan walked forward. A thin player was sitting on a chair in front, listening to the instructions of one of the NPCs. He should be accepting the class advancement quest.

There were not many people with the strength to accept the class advancement quest. The back of the person in front looked a little familiar.

Nie Yan recalled, wasn't this the Thin Dog of Triumph Empire? It was really a narrow road for enemies, and they could meet in this kind of place.

Nie Yan glanced at the five NPC thieves in front. These five NPC thieves would all issue class advancement quests.

Nie Yan walked straight forward.

Thin Dog heard footsteps coming from behind, turned around and saw that it was Nie Yan. He stood up abruptly, looking nervous, and stammered, "Nie... Boss Nie Yan." He suddenly realized that he had slipped up and was very embarrassed.

Since being killed by Nie Yan twice, Thin Dog had been constantly studying videos and practicing thief skills after returning, almost to the point of madness. However, every time he watched Nie Yan's videos, he would feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. No matter how hard he practiced, he could not reach Nie Yan's level. Nie Yan was simply a god-like existence.

The skills Nie Yan used were extremely difficult. The more he studied them, the more awe he felt.

Thin Dog actually called him boss, Nie Yan couldn't help but smile. After thinking about it, he didn't need to bother with such a small person as Thin Dog. The two were not on the same level at all.

"You're here too." Nie Yan gave Thin Dog a faint smile, and walked towards one of the NPC thieves to accept the expert-level class advancement quest.

Seeing Nie Yan's smile, Thin Dog's heart trembled and he was stunned. He didn't expect Nie Yan to greet him. A big shot like Nie Yan could completely ignore a small character like him. After a moment of silence, he remembered the hostile relationship between the two, and after accepting the quest from the NPC thief, he left silently.

He no longer had the face to attack Nie Yan. In front of Nie Yan, he was as humble as a speck of dust.

When Nie Yan turned his head, Thin Dog had already left. He sat down in front of one of the NPC thieves.

Grand Thief Feathersun: Level 60.

Feathersun turned to look at Nie Yan and asked, "Dancer of Shadows, Thief Nie Yan, are you willing to inherit the will of the Grand Thief and advance to Grand Thief?"

System: Do you want to accept the Grand Thief class advancement quest? Difficulty: Expert.

Yes!

System: You have accepted the Grand Thief's class advancement quest.

"Greed leads to depravity. The former Nilan Arena, located in the northern part of Mount Ishbel, was a famous gold-selling cave. Money blinded everyone's eyes, and countless wealthy merchants from major cities spent a lot of money here. Just two months ago, it was visited by a group of evil thieves. They killed more than a dozen civilians and imprisoned more than a hundred hostages in cages, demanding ransom from the families of these hostages. Those who want to make a fortune must fall into unjust techniques, and they will be punished by the temple. Respected warrior, are you willing to help us rescue the hostages?"

"Yes, Respected Grand Thief Feathersun."

System: You have accepted the quest progress, Rescue Hostages, 0/100.

The Grand Thief's class advancement quest was random, and Nie Yan didn't expect that he would randomly get a rescue quest.

"Here are a hundred Instant Teleportation Scrolls. Those evil thieves are very powerful. Remember not to confront them head-on. If you hand these teleportation scrolls to the hostages, they will be able to escape." Grand Thief Feathersun said.

Nie Yan clicked confirm the transaction and put these Instant Teleportation Scrolls in his backpack. He got some important information from Grand Thief Feathersun's words. Those thieves were very strong and might not be defeated. It seemed that he could only solve it with stealth.

Stealth was undoubtedly the most useful skill for thieves! It was normal for the Grand Thief class advancement quest to test the proficiency of stealth skills.

Nie Yan continued to chat with Grand Thief Feathersun for a while, inquiring about the relevant information of the quest.

After knowing all the detailed information, Nie Yan came out of the Thieves Guild, and then went to the NPC store to prepare a large number of consumables.

"Yao Yao," Yao Yao sent a message to Nie Yan.

"What's the matter? How is your Blessing of Kals quest going?" Nie Yan asked. Yao Yao's sweet voice gave people a refreshing feeling. He immediately thought of Xie Yao. The voice in the game was also specially processed, so he couldn't compare the two voices.

These days, Nie Yan went to pick up Xie Yao from school every day, and their relationship was more tacit than before. They deliberately avoided the embarrassing things that happened a few days ago. Gradually, Nie Yan felt that Xie Yao and Yao Yao were more and more like one person, but he only had a vague impression in his heart. Every time he tested Xie Yao or Yao Yao, it ended in vain. It would be too abrupt to ask directly.

"I have completed the second ring of the Kals quest and am doing the third ring," Yao Yao said. These days, she had been in a closed map and could not contact the outside world. She finally completed the second ring quest and contacted Nie Yan as soon as she came out.

"What level are you now?" Nie Yan asked. He was a little surprised that Yao Yao could complete the second ring of the Blessing of Kals alone. The difficulty of that quest was very high, and many top experts could not complete the two rings.

"Level 52."

"You can do the class advancement quest," Nie Yan said. Yao Yao, who had completed the two rings of the Blessing of Kals, should be considered top-notch in the entire Niuren Tribe.

Nie Yan recalled his previous life. Although Yao Yao's skills were not bad in his previous life, she was definitely not top-notch. He didn't expect that the butterfly effect he caused would be so great.

Yao Yao was slightly annoyed in her heart. It seemed that every time she chatted with Nie Yan, Nie Yan only cared about these questions.

"How is Niuren Tribe now?" Yao Yao asked. She had been letting the Longyue Consortium continuously collect gold coins. The funds injected into Niuren Tribe during this period had reached more than 200,000 gold coins.

"The crisis has passed. Next, it should be Zhan Dao Shi Xue who should be worried, not us," Nie Yan said with a relaxed smile.
