“Tsk, how boring. I just remembered that you Other-world Humans seem to be able to distinguish whether the other party has good or evil intentions towards you.” Solaka felt snubbed and took out a chain from his pocket.

“I originally prepared another item for you, but I didn’t expect you to have Klaus’ Pendant on you. This is the chain for Klaus’ Pendant. I’ll wait for you in Amber City.”

After saying this, Solaka disappeared from the mine.

Lu Yuan looked at the chain in his hand.

[Annie’s Chain]

[Description]: This is a semi-finished product created by Alchemist Annie herself. It has no effects. Only when one gets Klaus’ Pendant created by her husband and merges them into one, might one be able to witness some wonders. Of course, it could also be a love letter from their youth.

So this is how Klaus’ Pendant was supposed to be used… Lu Yuan took out Klaus’ Pendant and put the two together.

Previously, when he completed Andre’s mission, he was rewarded with Klaus’ Pendant. However, Lu Yuan did not see any use for it at that time, so he did not pay much attention to it and simply threw it into his backpack.

He did not expect to get another accessory in just a short while.

[You have found items that can be fused. You can go to the equipment store to fuse them.]

The system notification sounded.

Lu Yuan put away his things and walked towards the novice village.

He should also clean up all the unused items and exchange them for some gold coins.

When he arrived at the novice village, Lu Yuan did not go to the equipment store first. Instead, he went to an ownerless stall. After paying 500 copper coins as the stall fee, the stall temporarily belonged to Lu Yuan.

“Some green equipment and white equipment are sold here. First come, first served.” Lu Yuan casually wrote a sentence as the stall’s introduction. Then, he took out all the equipment that he did not need from his backpack.

Each piece of equipment had a corresponding special effect depending on its quality. To attract people, Lu Yuan did not turn off the special effect.

The equipment on Lu Yuan’s body that was emitting green light immediately attracted the attention of all the players in the trading area.

“Selling green equipment? This guy is so powerful… F*ck!” One of the players in the crowd suddenly jumped up in surprise.

“This guy has blue equipment. He must be a monster.”

…

The crowd gathered before Lu Yuan’s stall. A warrior pointed at the ring on Lu Yuan and asked, “Brother, is that ring on your body for sale? The price is negotiable.”

“It’s not for sale,” Lu Yuan looked at the warrior and said.

Seeing that everyone’s attention was mainly focused on the ring he was wearing, Lu Yuan spoke again, “I’m only selling the equipment I’ve displayed in the stall, nothing else.”

“Make way, make way.” At this time, the crowd was forced to make a path. A Mage, surrounded by the crowd, came to the front of Lu Yuan.

It was Bingshuang Luanwu that he had met once before.

“I want all of your equipment. How about you name your price?” Bingshuang Luanwu asked.

“It’s written very clearly. The highest bidder will get it. The time limit is 10 minutes,” Lu Yuan said coldly. His attitude was neither warm nor cold.

Bingshuang Luanwu choked. The words that he had been prepared to say were immediately swallowed back into his stomach.

“Xiongba, you bastard, you actually secretly increased the price.” Opening up the auction device on the small stall, he found that the price of the few pieces of green equipment had already risen to 3 gold coins.

The person at the top of the list was none other than Xiongba Tianxia.

Bingshuang Luanwu immediately joined in.

Lu Yuan had written clearly on the public sign that only game currency was accepted, so everyone tacitly did not mention using real currency.

Soon, ten minutes had passed, and the pieces of green equipment were sold for a total of 13 gold coins. All the pieces of white equipment were also sold, but they were sold at a total of less than 1 gold coin.

The World of Apocalypse’s currency was exceptionally valuable, normal players could barely earn 1 gold coin a month. One gold coin was already quite a lot even for the natives of the World of Apocalypse.

Now, a few pieces of equipment that were not needed could be sold for 13 gold coins.

However, Lu Yuan could enjoy the benefits of doing this at the beginning of the game. Now that everyone was leveling up, even if the drop rate of equipment in the World of Apocalypse was very low, there were still pieces of green equipment on the market.

Although they were not many, they were definitely not rare.

The advantage of Lu Yuan’s two green equipment was that they were level 5 equipment. Players could use them once they reached level 5.

Very quickly, after selling the items, Lu Yuan patted his butt and prepared to leave.

“Brother Lu Yuan, how about adding me as a friend? I forgot to add you as a friend since you left in a hurry last time. I can’t miss it this time,” Xiongba Tianxia came up and said.

It was normal for people to form cliques in the game. Lu Yuan nodded and sent a friend request after he found Xiongba Tianxia’s name in his friend search.

Ever since the announcement last time, Lu Yuan had wisely activated the option of refusing friend requests. Now, if he wanted to add friends, he could only take the initiative to apply for it.

“And me, and me.” Bingshuang Luanwu ran over energetically. He had the appearance of a middle-aged man, but his behavior was like that of a child.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to waste time with Bingshuang Luanwu. He conveniently sent him a request and left.

With a huge amount of money on him, even his steps felt light.

Soon, he arrived at the equipment shop. Lu Yuan took Klaus’ Pendant and Annie’s Chain from his backpack and handed them to the owner of the equipment shop.

“Boss, please help me assemble them,” Lu Yuan said.

“This is not easy! Let me think…” The owner of the equipment shop took the items, pushed his reading glasses, and considered carefully for a moment.

“I can assemble it, but I’ll need one gold coin as the assembling fee.” The equipment shop owner said.

“What kind of item costs so much to assemble?” Lu Yuan was a little angry. Although he had a huge amount of money now, he didn’t want to be ripped off like that.

“That’s the price.” The equipment shop owner frowned and said.

“Fine. I’ll have to trouble you to help me assemble it.” Seeing that the equipment shop owner insisted, Lu Yuan could only curse the profiteer in his heart. Then, he obediently put one gold coin on the table.

“Cool, wait for ten minutes.”

After putting away the gold coin, the equipment shop owner did not hesitate. Soon, he brought the gold coin and the two items to the processing room behind the weapons shop.

Lu Yuan found a stool to sit down at the side, and a series of crackling sounds came from the processing room.

Feeling bored from waiting, Lu Yuan opened the Apocalypse forum and started to scroll through the posts.

When he opened the popular post, the name of the first post immediately attracted Lu Yuan’s attention.

“Strictly Investigate Cheats, Resist Cheats”

There are cheats in this game?

Why didn’t I know about it?

It was probably another clickbait. Lu Yuan made a judgment in his heart, but he could not resist his curiosity and opened the video.

As he watched, Lu Yuan felt that something was wrong.

“Isn’t this person me? Saying that I’m cheating? Oh, it’s fine then.” Looking at the headline, Lu Yuan really could not find a suitable point to refute.

After all, what he was doing was indeed no different from cheating.

In his previous life, he had been busy fighting and killing. Now that he had been reborn, he was experiencing the long-lost vitality in his new life, which made Lu Yuan inevitably have a juvenile mentality.

“Your things are assembled..” At this time, the equipment shop owner walked out of the processing room and shouted to Lu Yuan.
