Chapter 14- Defective

No matter what, he had his own pride. He wouldn't go out of his way and plead to that demon.

That being said, Yang Chen was at least able to realise something was wrong with the gale sword from the attitude of the demon. As such, he decided to buy a simple steel longsword for 300 points and save the rest for when he needed it.

In any case, the demonic beasts here weren't strong enough to require him to purchase a two star weapon, even a simple steel longsword was enough to do the trick.

What's more, given the limited amount of mischief points that he had with him, it would be a foolish choice to spend them all on the Gale Sword which looked quite shady.

Simon didn't wait for Amon to spout any remark and quickly transacted the 300 points for the Steel longsword.

The Steel Longsword might be an ordinary weapon like the steel sword, but it was made of a much better quality and craftsmanship than the latter.

Right after the Longsword appeared in his hand after getting transported through some unknown space, Amon finally opened his mouth.

"Kukuku… since the host has decided otherwise from buying that sword, let me tell you about it now. You made the right choice. The reason for that sword to be so cheap was because it was defective".

Yang Chen's eyes shook when he heard that, he was almost about to buy a defective sword. it was a good thing that he held back his greed and chosen otherwise, buying the Steel longsword or else all of his points would have gone to waste.

Amon was pleased seeing the shocked look in Yang Chen's eyes and explained further.

"Let me tell you one more thing, had you bought that sword, it would have broken apart after just one use of the skill. The skill that the Gale Sword bestowed might be powerful at your level, however, it would clearly be a waste to use your hard earned points for a skill that you could only use once".

The reason for the Gale sword being in the section of one star sword even though it was a two star, was because it was defective.

It was just as Amon had said, 900 points for a sword that would crumble apart after just one use of its skill, was a waste of points. What's more, had he not known it and used the skill of the sword willy-nilly, his points would have gone down to drain.

Yang Chen would have no doubt have a heartache if something like that happened. These points were something he earned after risking his life after all. It was a good thing that he decided buying against it.

This revelation made the frustration he felt against Amon to increase even more. This bastard clearly knew it yet he was tempting him to buy the Gale Sword like a shameless insurance agent who conned people.

Unfortunately for him, Yang Chen couldn't touch the other party and could swallow down this frustration.

"Hey.. hey, what's with that look? I am simply tempering your attitude for the better. The world is far more cruel than you realise. If you go out like with your attitude, you wont last long in this world even with the supreme treasure by your side."

Night had arrived and the jungle started to become noisy. Howls of the demonic beasts could be heard intermittently from every direction.

Yang Chen leaned against the tree and rested his body. It was far too dangerous to roam at night since a human's vision wasn't adapted to see at night, unlike the demonic beast who only grew more ferocious at night.

It was better to wait for the dawn to break again before he continued his journey.

Yang Chen did not know if the Zhang clan had sent any pursuers after him but given the memory of the previous owner of this body, one of the people that he killed was an elder of the clan.

That person was as vicious as his son and had the reputation of being an unreasonable person who bullied the weak. Given their character, they were sure to send some people after him.

"SIGH… I was too impulsive at that time. After gaining a new body that moved and a system like the games that I loved so much, I ended up getting riled by my emotions and unable to draw the line" Yang Chen muttered bitterly.

That said, even if given another chance, he would still kill the five of them. For some reason, even though he had killed those five guys, he felt no remorse nor any negative emotions. It was as if the people he had killed were merely some mob NPCs that spawned around in the game randomly.

Due to his actions and the Zhang clan being a local powerhouse around this part, he couldn't leave the forest and appear near any town for fear of getting targeted.

If he got caught his life would be extremely miserable. Hence Yang Chen had no choice but to venture deeper inside the forest and raise his strength until he no longer had to fear the Zhang clan.

In this world, one who had the bigger fist, was the king. If he became powerful enough, the Zhang clan would have no choice but to drop the issue.

Resolving himself to get stronger, Yang Chen rested his exhausted body.

The morning of the next day, Yang Chen got up at the first signs of dawn and started venturing deeper inside the jungle.

According to the local legends that was going around these parts of the land, the Starfall Jungle was named such because of an extremely powerful demonic beast that chose to make this place its home a long time ago.

It was said that when the demon beast uses its power, the land and sky around it turns so bright that it looks like a star in the night sky. Of course, Yang Chen had no intention of meeting such a powerful beast. He would be squashed like an ant given his current powers.

That being said, the star fall jungle was quite vast spanning for more than three thousand kilometres. Yang Chen was currently just around the outer region of the jungle. As one started heading deeper, the strength of the monster would also get higher.

Yang Chen was hoping to increase his strength while he slowly progressed deeper into the forest.

After disposing off two wild boars whose strength were around that of a five star battle apprentice, Yang Chen was just about to cut their meats for his breakfast, when suddenly he heard some loud screams from an area not very far from him.
