Can you lend me money?

Upon his return to the city, Wang Cai went directly to the players' warehouse to store the skeleton and two boxes containing the key and the scroll.

The warehouse was the safest place to store things, as no one but him could open the warehouse. That was absolute.

Only the warehouse owner can open it.

So, no matter what happened to Wang Cai, no one could steal both items.

Next, Wang Cai went to the library to search for more information about the Violet Palace.

The description told him to go to the kingdom's central library, but it was not necessary to do so. Some basic information about the Violet Palace was in the city library.

"In the distant past, the Violet Palace was the most majestic castle the world has ever seen. A palace built entirely of violet crystal, which absorbed the energies of nature to grow stronger and protect itself from invading creatures. One day, a powerful sorcerer appeared at the Violet Palace to ask the princess to marry him but was refused by the king. Filled with fury, he used the palace's power to create the curse, transforming all the inhabitants of the palace and the city around it into hideous and sinister creatures. After many bloody battles, the Violet Palace was sealed within the gray mountains, where it could never see the light of day again." This was the summary of the book in the library.

This was similar to what was written in the mission.

"..." As there was no sound from the system, the quest did not advance.

The library also didn't have any information about the location of the Violet Palace, just a few stories.

"Looks like I really have to go to the kingdom library…"

…

"Hey Wang Cai, what are you doing? Aren't you leveling?" Lin Hai asked while eating fried chicken wings.

The duo was inside a restaurant eating lots of good things.

"I will start leveling when I get back in the game. I didn't level much because I was too busy."

"Your level is still at 7 after more than six months of playing. This is pretty insane. Even the laziest would be level 50 in six months. If I had known you were going to create a character on a different continent, I would have hit you sooner." Lin Hai had been upset with his friend because he chose a different location to start with.

The fatty didn't know that Wang Cai would decide to start playing Infinite World all of a sudden. Thus, he had already chosen the continent and the kingdom to play with his other friends.

Now, Wang Cai would have to play alone until he reached level 250 before he could go to ports or airships to travel to other continents.

"I have my reasons for doing this. Despite being at level 7. My stats are almost at level 15 because of the training center" Wang Cai had to lie about his status because it would be crazy to hear that he was as strong as a level 80 player.

"One of the members of the group I'm participating in did this too, he got ten points in STR, AGI, VIT, a skill, and a title. But it took three weeks to get that. You were still lucky to finish in a week. I couldn't have put up with this boredom." Lin Hai had a despondent expression as he thought about it.

How many people could bear to do the same thing for more than twenty hours straight? And keep doing it for a week, two weeks, or even an entire month. Only the mentally prepared would make it.

"But it's worth the effort and time. Ten points in these three attributes, 100 HP, 50 MP, the Perseverance skill, and the title are valuable rewards. Thirty attribute points alone equal six levels. After leveling up, these points will continue in your stats." Wang Cai didn't think it was a waste of time, but an investment for the future.

His journey to get to the Astral Gladiator class would be difficult and very dangerous. So it was necessary to make the right preparations for it.

"Wang Cai, if you need some money, I can lend it to you. My level 130 character gets about twenty gold coins a day by running in dungeons and doing some quests."

"So could you lend me a thousand gold coins?"

"A thousand… A thousand… A THOUSAND GOLD COINS???!!!!!???!!! You're kidding, right?" Lin Hai even gasped when he heard the absurd number coming out of Wang Cai's mouth.

The amount of gold he earns per day was relative, it wasn't always that number.

Besides, he still needed to spend on supplies and transportation, so the daily balance was much lower than he said.

Even if Wang Cai spoke five hundred gold coins, it would still be an amount he would not have.

Lin Hai looked at him and realized it was no joke.

Wang Cai really wanted a thousand gold coins.

(What is he going to do with that amount of money??!!!!) Fatty mentally screamed without understanding anything.

"Fatty, you just need to know it's an investment. I will return the amount to you within a month." An idea popped into his mind to make money faster.

"Wang Cai, why don't you buy gold coins using RMBs?"

"The value on the black market is inflated. One gold coin for one hundred RMB is a big steal. I will not pay that amount. Even when the Infinite World company opens the game link to bank accounts and the currency value explodes again." Wang Cai was aware of what would happen six months from now in the real world.

On the day the link is made, the great tycoons from all over the world would invest their money in the game to be able to buy land and many other things that would be valuable.

Lands and properties cannot be purchased in the game, only conquered or received by players before being sold in auction houses and markets.

Wang Cai already had plans to take several properties.

"Wang Cai, I will be honest with you about this. I only have three hundred gold coins stashed in the warehouse for emergencies, but if you really need it. I will lend it to you. But know that if you cannot return these gold coins to me, my character will be broken for some time." Lin Hai warned in advance about what would happen to his character if Wang Cai failed to return the gold coins.

"Do not worry about it. I will return it to you."

"It's alright. I believe you. But today's bill, you will pay as compensation." He ordered several more expensive dishes from the waiter.
