Four damage values floated above the slime’s head.

The slime that was being attacked flew into a rage as it hopped towards Lin Yi’s position.

However, facing the five-meter-tall tree, the slime’s round body couldn’t climb up the tree and failed to cause any damage to Lin Yi.

The helpless slime had no choice but to vent his anger on the big tree and attack it.

After Lin Yi waited a few seconds, the cooldown of the fire spell ended, and another fireball spell was released.

With only a little more than 100 points of blood, the slime finally died miserably after it ate five fireballs.

There was a piece of white equipment lying quietly around the corpse—a pair of coarse cloth pants.

Lin Yi jumped down from the tree, picked up the equipment on the ground, and climbed up another tree.

Lin Yi was lost in thought as he looked at the equipment in his backpack.

Coarse Cloth Pants

Defensive

Quality: Normal

Defense: +1

Level: 1

Made from linen by the villagers of Qingshui Village. Worthless.

Lin Yi wasn’t shocked by the properties of the pants, but the fact that he could see the items on the monster startled him.

It was incredible enough that reincarnation had happened to him, but now that he could see through things, wasn’t this going a little overboard?

Lin Yi couldn’t believe it, and found three slimes in a row, each equipped with a phantom waiting to kill them. All of them received the equipment and materials he saw without exception.

Iron Greatsword

Two-handed Weapon

Quality: Normal

Attack: 6-18

Level: 2

Forged by Qingshui Village’s blacksmith. Can be exchanged for a few copper coins.

Linen Robe

Defensive Equipment

Quality: Normal

Defense: +2

Level: 1

Made of linen by the villagers of Qingshui Village. Worthless.

Wooden Longbow

Two-handed weapon

Quality: Normal

Attack: 4-17

Level: 2

Made of peachtree branches and can be exchanged for a few copper coins.

Not only did Lin Yi get three pieces of equipment, but his level also increased by one.

Sitting on the tree, Lin Yi couldn’t stay calm for long. There was only an excited voice in his heart.

“F*ck! I’m going against the heavens!”

…..

“Finally. Level 2!”

I Don’t Cry’s face darkened as he watched a group of players chasing after a demonized deer.

“These people came too quickly. The respawn rate here isn’t even fast enough for these people to keep killing anymore.”

The famous general picked up a deer horn from the ground.

“Let’s go, let’s change locations.”

“Change locations?”

The famous general, I Don’t Cry, was shocked.

“It’s the slime’s territory inside. Those are all Lv.4 active monsters. Can we defeat them?”

“Or do we go to the other Lv.3 area to fight the demonized evil dogs?”

The famous general did not reply. Instead, he walked straight into the depths of the forest.

I Don’t Cry had no choice but to follow behind.

After a while, though, he looked at the large trees that were on the verge of collapsing and were stunned.

“Did a Level 18 hurricane blow through here?”

Generally speaking, other than some special scenes or special items, if there was any damage, the respawn time was 24 hours, which was a day’s time.

Trees attacked by the slime would only respawn and return to their original state after 24 hours.

Ding!

Upon hearing the pleasant sound, I Don’t Cry instinctively reacted.

Equipment drop!

The two of them immediately looked towards the source of the sound. They saw a figure fall from the tree and quickly picked up a piece of equipment on the ground.

The blue light that ensued shocked the two significantly.

At a time when the average person didn’t even have a set of white-grade equipment, someone had already dropped a piece of Blue-Grade equipment.

The famous general, I Don’t Cry, and the handsome guy looked at each other.

The next moment, the handsome man stopped the person about to leave.

“Bro, please wait.”.

Lin Yi turned to look at the two men running towards him.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s you!”

When I Don’t Cry saw the figure clearly, his face was filled with shock.

“You didn’t die.”

Lin Yi rolled his eyes.

“You’re the one who’s dying.”

I Don’t Cry realized his mistake and quickly explained himself.

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

But at that moment, I Don’t Cry became even more shocked when he realized…

“You’re already Lv.3. D*mn, bro. Did you ride a rocket?”

The handsome guy suddenly spoke.

“You used the tree as a barrier and used long-range magic to kill the slime?”

Lin Yi didn’t deny it.

“That’s right.”

“F*ck!”

Those words were like a door to a new world for the two.

“There are such things?!”

“May I ask what the equipment you just got?” the handsome guy finally asked.

Lin Yi paused for a moment and shared the attributes of the equipment he just got.

Tarek’s Greatsword

Two-handed weapon

Quality: Rare

Physical Attack: 15-21

Unlock level: 3

Additional attributes:

Strength: +2

The greatsword Master Tarek used, but it doesn’t look as good as before. Perhaps you could head to Azure Dragon Main City and ask Master Tarek to upgrade his weapon.

“You can upgrade your weapon!”

In the end, I Don’t Cry’s breathing became a lot faster.

Lin Yi then noticed something and reminded him, “Newbie players can’t attack each other.”

I Don’t Cry laughed awkwardly.

“Brother, you’re funny. I’m a refined gentleman. How can I kill for a piece of equipment?”

Lin Yi didn’t expose him and said, “This thing is useless to me. Maybe you can buy it with money.”

I Don’t Cry, who was happy a moment ago, immediately wore an anxious expression.

“Bro, name your price. I’ll take whatever you want.”

It seemed he had just met a wealthy heir!

Lin Yi stretched out five fingers without thinking, to which, I Don’t Cry immediately said, “Only fifty thousand? That’s very reasonable. Let’s trade.”

Lin Yi was stunned. Didn’t he just say five thousand?

Was it because he’d been reborn that he’d limited his horizons?

Upgrading equipment didn’t cost much in this game, and it wasn’t worth much either.

Lin Yi estimated that a piece of basic equipment like this would be more than enough to last until Lv.15 after the class change.

It might be worth a little more in the early stages, but that was all.

Based on the market price in his previous life, this weapon was only worth a few hundred dollars at most.

Lin Yi was prepared to sell it for ten times more, taking into account the fact that they were still newbies. However, he had obviously underestimated the concept of money in this world.

Lin Yi sent the virtual account to the other party, and only when he heard the notification did he truly experience what it meant to be rich.

When he handed the sword to the man, he noticed that they were only wearing two pieces of beginner equipment.

“I have some equipment that you need here. If you want it, I…”

Without waiting for Lin Yi to finish, I Don’t Cry immediately said, “I’ll take it all, no matter how much it costs.”

“Uhh…”

Lin Yi looked at the big guy speechlessly. Was this the legendary man with too much money?

Lin Yi swallowed back the word that was about to come out of his mouth. He first took out the equipment that was useful to the big guy, the famous general, I Don’t Cry.

Sturdy Cloth Lv.2.

Sturdy Trousers Lv.2.

Deerskin Gloves Lv.1.

Wooden shoes Lv.1.

And then, for the handsome guy…

Withered Wooden Staff Lv.2.

Sturdy Cloth Clothes Lv.2.

Coarse Cloth Pants Lv.1.

Leather Gloves Lv.1.

Cotton Shoes Lv.0.

The two stared at Lin Yi as he took out his equipment one after the other from his backpack.

I Don’t Cry shuddered suddenly in fear.

“Hey bro, did you rob an equipment warehouse?”

The handsome guy’s mouth twitched. Had he just met Santa Claus?

Finally, Lin Yi stopped taking out equipment.

“That’s it. As for the price, you can just give me anything.”

Lin Yi was about to leave when…

“Wait!”

The handsome guy stopped Lin Yi.

“Add me as a friend. If you have any good equipment in the future, tell me, and I’ll make sure you’re satisfied with the price. What do you think?”

Lin Yi thought for a moment and accepted the friend request.

He then heard a notification.

Ten Thousand!

Lin Yi was a little dumbfounded. Some of the trash from the shops could be sold for ten thousand?

I Don’t Cry thought that Lin Yi was dissatisfied with the price and wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Lin Yi.

“I’m already very satisfied with the price.”.

Lin Yi looked at the two of them with sincere eyes,

“Happy doing business with you!”

“Happy doing business with you!”

It wasn’t until then that Lin Yi remembered who this person with the ID ‘Famous General’ was.

In his previous life, there was a very strange guild.

This guild obviously held a huge amount of wealth and resources, and they also wanted to squeeze into the top ten guilds in Asia.

What surprised everyone, however, was that in the three years since the game started, no matter how hard they worked, no matter how much they tried to attract talents, their guild’s ranking remained at 11th place at the guild competition, no more, no less. It was the same, three times in three years.

Because this guild’s name was Mingmen.

From then on, this guild had another famous name in the game: Mingmen 11th.

If he remembered correctly, this Mingmen general in front of Lin Yi was the leader of that Mingmen Guild.

Only then did Lin Yi understand why he was so generous.

Lin Yi could understand if it were him.

Although he recognized who the person was, Lin Yi didn’t greet him and left.

The game had just started anyway, and there would be plenty of opportunities to interact with him in the future.

I Won’t Cry watched Lin Yi leave.

“Brother Jie, why give me ten thousand? These equipment aren’t worth ten thousand no matter how you look at it.”

The famous general looked at the corpses of the slimes that hadn’t respawned yet.

“Ten thousand to add me as a friend is worth it.”

…..

On the other side, Lin Yi and headed straight for the area where the Lv.6 demonized boar was.

On the way, he saw a group of people carrying out a cruel ‘experiment’ on a slime.

What surprised him wasn’t the fact that people had come here so quickly to kill slime but that there was a familiar ID amongst the crowd.

A memory that had been sealed away suddenly rushed into his mind, and a familiar figure emerged from it.

People were like this, sometimes, only knowing how to cherish essential things when they were lost.

They didn’t understand the value of having something, and only after they’d lost it would they realize how important it actually was.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. When one wanted to turn back, he would realize that some things were lost for life.

Before rebirth…

Lin Yi never expected that he would refuse the other party’s confession because of his own inferiority.

Because of his rejection, he walked into a dead end with no chance to turn back.

The memory of that time before Lin Yi’s rebirth was a nightmare he couldn’t get out of his mind. It tortured him constantly, exhausting him physically and mentally every day.

He thought that this kind of pain would be with him for the rest of his life, making him live in regret and pain as long as he breathed.

Never did he expect that the heavens would really give him a chance to start over.

A smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face when he saw that familiar figure again.


He had wanted to look for her after he logged out of the game, but he didn’t expect to meet her here.

Instead of going up to greet her, however, he left silently from the other side.

For Lin Yi, the most important thing now was to level up to level ten and enter the main city to get the inheritance tool of the spirit summoner.

Only by becoming stronger and amassing more wealth would he get out of his current predicament faster.

It was only then that he would have the right to be by her side and protect her.

Looking deeply at the silent female mage in the crowd, Lin Yi thought to himself helplessly: why was his rebirth on this day and not half a year ago?

If it were half a year ago, he definitely wouldn’t have said those things that hurt her.

Although the mistake had been made, there was still a chance to remedy it.

Lin Yi smiled confidently.

“Now, all misfortune will be completely rewritten.. Wait for me!”
