Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

In a flash, Jiang Yan feigned regret and said, "I would like to exchange it, but this ancient painting isn't mine, so I really can't make the decision. How about exchanging it for something else, sir?"

"Hehehe..." Upon hearing this, the dimensional merchant's warm smile vanished instantly, replaced by the cold arrogance he had shown upon first meeting. He snorted, "I thought I could snag a bargain, but I didn't expect you already knew the secret of the ancient painting."

Jiang Yan's eyes flashed, and he stopped pretending to be confused, saying, "Old sir, you know the value of this ancient painting, but you're only willing to offer the price of ten spirit weapons. Isn't that a bit too much of a rip-off?"

"If you're blind and can't recognize the treasure in your hands, you can't blame anyone else." The interdimensional merchant sneered, "Tell me, what will it take for you to sell this ancient painting!"

Jiang Yan shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir, I will never sell this painting!"

"Even if I never sell you anything again?" the interdimensional merchant threatened coldly.

"That's right!" Although Jiang Yan felt regretful, his answer was unusually decisive!

Even without the dimensional merchant, he can still get [Enhancement Scrolls] from the Lucky Cat, which is free and much more cost-effective than the dimensional merchant!

The dimensional merchant was clever; he instantly guessed what was going on and asked angrily, "You found the lucky cat?"

Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised by the interdimensional merchant's inexplicable anger and asked, "Old sir, you also know about it?"

The interdimensional merchant was furious, clenching his fist and saying, "Where do you think the treasures on the lucky cat came from? If I hadn't been soft-hearted and adopted this fat orange cat, it wouldn't have stolen my house later! Damn it, damn it!!"

Is the lucky cat your pet?

Jiang Yan was surprised, but this also explained why the lucky cat had so many good things on it!

"Where was the last time you saw it?" the dimensional merchant asked through gritted teeth.

Jiang Yan looked at him strangely: "Old sir, do you think I would say that?"

If the Lucky Cat gets captured by the interdimensional merchant, where will it get [Reinforcement Scrolls] in the future?

The interdimensional merchant wasn't angry. He coldly replied, "Just tell me, no matter what the future holds, at least today, you can buy seven items from me at half price. How about it?"

Buy at half price?

Jiang Yan's eyes flashed, and he quickly said, "Add one more piece of information!"

"Ancient painting?" The interdimensional merchant raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Yan nodded.

He held the ancient painting and wandered around for a long time, not knowing how to integrate it into the landscape. If he couldn't integrate it, then the ancient painting would become useless!

The interdimensional merchant laughed, "Alright! To show my sincerity, I'll tell you what you want to know first!"

"I'm all ears!" Jiang Yan suppressed his excitement.

The interdimensional merchant revealed a strange smile and said, "It's actually very simple. Just throw the ancient painting into the mountains and lands you choose, and the small world in the painting will take root there and become a secret realm."

"No way, I've been looking around for ages..." Jiang Yan said somewhat dissatisfied, "The old gentleman probably doesn't know, but I'm here..."

"Of course you can't stay here. The mountains and rivers here... hehe." The interdimensional merchant smiled strangely.

Jiang Yan was taken aback, and then a startling conjecture suddenly surged into his mind.

Could it be that this ancient painting can only be used in the real world?!

Jiang Yan's eyes widened slowly.

"It seems you've grasped the point," the dimensional merchant chuckled.

Jiang Yan's heart pounded like a drum. If the ancient painting really had to be brought into the real world to be used, then the secret realm that would appear... wouldn't that be equivalent to a blessed land?

Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Yan hurriedly asked, "Sir, how can I take the ancient painting out of here?"

"When the time is right, it will happen naturally," the interdimensional merchant said. "Don't ask any more questions; I can't say more!"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly. The old butler had said that NPCs were bound by a contract, and once they revealed information outside the game, they would be destroyed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Sir, let's move on to the next step. I need to inspect the goods!"

"Hmph!" The interdimensional merchant snorted, then waved his hand, and a virtual list appeared in front of Jiang Yan!

1. Hidden Class Scroll: 20 million gold (can be purchased at half price)

2. Rare Profession Scroll: Two million gold (can be purchased at half price)

3. [Critical Strike Stone] (Level 3): 600,000 gold (can be purchased at half price)

4. Reinforced spool: 500,000 gold (can be purchased at half price)

5. Golden Treasure Chest: 150,000 gold (can be purchased at half price)

6. Mage skill books: 50,000 gold (can be purchased at half price)

……

Upon seeing the list again, Jiang Yan felt a mix of excitement, emotion, and... frustration.

I worked hard for a month and earned over 11 million gold coins, but I couldn't even afford a single [Hidden Class Scroll]!

Wait, no, half price seems just right!

Jiang Yan's eyes flashed. Could this merchant possibly see through the gold coin balance in his backpack?

"Hurry up and choose!" the interdimensional merchant urged.

"Sir, it's hard for me to choose if you keep staring at me like this. Why don't you step aside? I can't just take it directly anyway," Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll give you seven minutes!" The dimensional merchant seemed to really like the number seven. He turned and walked to the side, closing his eyes to rest.

Knowing time was limited, Jiang Yan quickly sent a private message to Bafanglaicai: "Brother, brother, are you there?! Big news!!"

Bafanglaicai quickly replied: Hey, Brother Jiang, what happened? Is it in real life or in the game?

Jiang Yan immediately replied: How about the [Hidden Class Scroll]?

Bafanglaicai thought Jiang Yan had run into trouble, but when he saw his reply, he was completely dumbfounded.

Hidden profession scroll...how about it?

Please, the game has started invading reality, and the real world is about to go berserk. At this time, who wouldn't want a [Hidden Class Scroll] to turn their life around?

Eh?

Wait!

He asked me if I wanted it, which means...

Bafang Cailai was thrilled and quickly replied: "Brother Jiang, Elder Brother Jiang, Godfather Jiang, do you have the [Hidden Profession Scroll]? You must have it, right? Please, sell it to me, no matter the price, I'll take it!!"

Before games invade reality, what is most important?

That's money, of course!

But now, money is no longer important; what matters is ability!

Once you become a hidden profession, you'll have the power to dominate the new world after awakening!

In Bafanglaicai's eyes, this is not just a scroll, but a scroll that can change one's life!

Jiang Yan looked at Bafanglaicai's reply and knew that things were going well. He replied: "It's a bit pricey. Brother Laicai, how many gold coins do you have?"

Knowing the [Hidden Profession Scroll] must be expensive, Bafanglaicai was afraid of missing out if he quoted too low a price. Plus, he trusted Jiang Yan completely, so he went all in: 83 million gold! Is that enough? If not, I'll sacrifice all the equipment in the shop to exchange for gold!

The talent of Eight Directions Wealth is the [Money Tree]. As long as you sacrifice equipment to it, you can bump into the Money Tree once. The better the equipment, the more gold coins will fall from the Money Tree!

This talent allowed Bafanglaicai to earn his first gold coin as soon as he entered the game by sacrificing newbie equipment. He then used the gold coins to buy new equipment, used the new equipment to attack the "Money Tree," and used the gold coins to buy more equipment. This virtuous cycle allowed him to accumulate more and more gold coins.

Eventually, Bafanglaicai became complacent and stopped bothering to try and make money, since he was already financially free both in the game and in real life.

But at this moment, Bafanglaicai was filled with regret!

If I had known this would happen, I should have exchanged all my real money for gold coins, then used the gold coins to buy equipment, and then used the equipment to crash into the Money Tree!

If that's the case, he should be able to come up with at least 200 million gold coins right now!

Now, with 83 million gold coins, I don't even know if I can get the [Hidden Class Scroll].

Wealth coming from all directions makes me feel guilty!
