Chapter 61 - Scarlet Monastery, The Enemy of the Enemy

Outside of Qingfeng City.

Chen Ming looked at the [Dragon Essence] and fell into a deep thought.

How exactly was this thing ... supposed to be taken care of?

There were no clues, and there was no progress bar.

However, the only thing that Chen Ming could feel somewhat comfortable with was that since he had left the copy, the [Dragon Essence] had been automatically bound.

No matter how many times he died, the Dragon Essence would not fall.

This was a binding effect that would only occur with rather rare items.

This showed that the Dragon Essence was definitely not a useless thing.

"Forget it, since there are no clues, it's useless to think about it anyway." Chen Ming planned to put the matter of the [Dragon Essence] on hold for the time being.

Even though he was a reincarnated human, there were only a few people who could tame a monster like a dragon in his previous life.

With the kind of mole-like status he had in his previous life, how could he possibly learn its inner workings?

Shaking his head, he rearranged his thoughts.

There were a number of things he needed to take care of right now.

First and foremost was his own rank.

He had wasted two times of his time rushing to decipher the puzzle of the chess game, and a death ... under the copy had caused his level to drop considerably.

The current highest level on the world rankings was a European and American girl, a level 13 warrior.

The great power was also around level 12.

Meanwhile, Chen Ming, the player who had originally been the first in the world to break through to level 10, was now at a pitiful level of 9.

Catching up was the most important thing.

Fortunately, Chen Ming had luxurious equipment, as well as experience brushing skills such as Hardened Poison and Sword Blade Storm, and the bonus of 30% extra experience from the Experience Furnace.

Catching up on the levels was just a matter of time.

There wasn't too much difficulty.

In addition to his own rank, the rank of the alchemy skill also needed to be increased urgently.

As of now, he was still the only player in the world who had mastered the art of refining Pills.

After all, he had bypassed the prequests and learned the art of alchemy directly through the Ink and Bamboo Bracelet's two-step leap back then.

In addition, it was estimated that normal players would have to reach level 15 before they could complete the prequests for the art of alchemy.

He had to maintain his leading level in the art of alchemy.

This was the second.

As for the third ..., it was his SSS level quest.

After completing the quest earlier, he automatically received the next quest, which was to go to a nearby monastery to investigate the undead plague.

As long as he completed this quest, his Heirloom Leather Armor set would be assembled.

Although the set of Heirloom Leather Armor was only of green quality, once assembled, the quality of the set was not inferior to that of blue-ranked equipment.

At that time, even tycoons would mix and match green and blue equipment.

Even many tycoons couldn't even buy blue equipment.

They could only have a whole body of green color.

Chen Ming was able to possess the Inheritance Leather Armor Set, which could definitely crush a bunch of tycoons!

After clearly analyzing the three current primary tasks, Chen Ming gradually had a thought process.

"Susu, if you have time recently, go to the novice village and collect herbs, still Orchid Forest Grass and Red Campsis Flower, as for the purchase price, it'll be 10 copper coins per plant."

"When the herbs are sold, I'll share 30% with you."

Su Su showed a shocked expression after hearing this.

It wasn't so much that Chen Ming had promised to give her 30% of the profit after selling the item, Laurie Su Su had absolutely no idea what the concept of 30% profit was.

What surprised her was Chen Ming's purchase price.

10 copper coins per plant?

Back when she had collected the herbs, Mr. Chen had quoted a price of 50 copper coins per plant!

A whole five times hey!

"Sir, with such a low price, will anyone sell them?" Lori showed a worried look.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to collect the herbs and delay the master.

However, Chen Ming smiled faintly, "Don't worry, 10 coins is quite a reasonable purchase price, when alchemy is flooded in the future and the prices of ordinary herbs are suppressed, black-hearted merchants will be able to acquire them at a price of 5 coins, and there will be a good market for them as well."

Chen Ming's reason was clear.

It was because he had once done the black slave work of gathering herbs for 5 copper coins per plant.

Su Su suddenly fell silent.

It was because she only reacted at this time that Mister turned out to be very considerate of himself from the very beginning.

The purchase price was directly quoted five times.

And in the end, after the transaction was successful, there were a lot of extras attached to her as well.

Lori was about to open her mouth to thank her, but Chen Ming was the first to see through her thoughts and grabbed her before she could open her mouth, "There's no need to thank me, if you really want to thank me, just practice leveling ... now that you're fully capable of mixing up the team on your own, and of course, look for Snowy Moon to ask for a spot in the school as well.

"As long as you show your strength a little bit, they will surely be eager to pull one of you during practice."

Lori was a bit less convinced.

How could the Snow Moon Guild be so powerful?

It must be Mister secretly greeting the beautiful twin sister of the president.

Su Su nodded her zero head obediently.

...

Chen Ming went to the monastery to investigate the undead and complete the SSS level quest.

On the way, he was the one who had gotten tired of the messages from the bigwigs.

Although this group of people all held him from end to end, touting him for a while before side-stepping him to ask what happened in the copy ... But no matter how much he was touted, the more people who did this, the more it became a bit obnoxious.

In the end, Chen Ming could only reply with a no comment.

The big brothers had their hot faces on their cold butts, but they didn't dare to attack.

They could only silently close the dialog box and stop bothering Chen Ming.

Spending money and still being so humble ...

It could only be that in the World of Glory, strength was honored!

It was only Ling Yue, who had a slightly better relationship with him, that Chen Ming revealed a bit of information.

"The Berserker won't last long, as short as two or three, as long as a week ... Of course, there are exceptions."

The exact length of time varied from monster to monster, and he was not allowed to do that.

Half an hour later.

Chen Ming arrived at the place called Scarlet Monastery.

This place was littered with level 12-14 monsters.

Originally, Chen Ming thought that this place would be cold and quiet, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked over, there were already two or three teams brushing monsters and practicing here.

"It's also ... now that the large troops have leveled up to level 12, and the ordinary casuals are also level 11, coming to brush level 12-14 monsters, the experience is just right to pull it all together."

Chen Ming had some regrets.

I'm afraid that this kind of scene from the novice village days, where one person would wrap up the monsters alone, would no longer be available.

At least until the level increases.

Before approaching those teams, Chen Ming hesitated a bit, then put on the hood of his cloak, covering his face with shadows, followed by hiding his Id and turning off the equipment's glow effect, making the whole outfit flat.

After all, he was only level 9 now.

Although he wouldn't be afraid of those level 11 or 12 players, he was afraid that he might run into some Iron Bean who was greedy and felt that he could be easily bullied because he was level 9.

There weren't really many people like the Queen of the Middle Two who knew that they were bullies and still wanted to cause trouble.

Chen Ming just wanted to do his quests and level up quietly.

He didn't want to be disturbed by this group of people.

Only after hiding his identity did Chen Ming lift his leg and walk towards the monastery.

Along the way, a few people looked over at him, but since he had the look of a stranger, no one followed him.

It wasn't until he was about to walk up to the abbey gate and enter the middle of the abbey that an upright man called out to him.

"Brother, are you here to brush up on your leveling? Our team just happens to be short a dpS, you come to us ... As for the monastery, I advise you not to go in."

What does that mean?

Chen Ming looked at the straight man curiously.

"It's chartered by the Grand Guild inside." The hanyou cast a distant glance at the abbey gate, envy and resentment in his eyes, but most of all, helplessness. "We stragglers can only pick up the monsters outside."

A large guild?

Problem, the vast majority of the bosses I know.

Chen Ming asked, "Which guild is it?"

"The King's Guild under the King."

Chen Ming: "..."

It's okay then.

The world map of Glory was so huge, it was amazing that we could all meet.

It was truly a narrow road between enemies.
