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

If Jiang Yan hadn't sold the leveling spot in the central mine in the northern part of the beginner village for 200,000 gold coins, he wouldn't have been able to face such exorbitant medicine prices!

But now...

He glanced at his balance: 41139 gold, 34 silver, and 13 copper.

Including the 40,000 gold coins spent on the enhanced scroll, [Red Beauty's Intoxication] still owes him 120,000 gold coins.

With so many gold coins, Jiang Yan naturally didn't hold back.

Buy 100 Super Red Potions and 100 Super Blue Potions, which will cost a total of 40 gold!

One hundred bottles of Premium Red Magic Water cost 100 gold!

I'll buy 100 basic magic pills, which will cost 500 gold!

A total of 640 gold!

Converted to cash, that's 28800 yuan!

That's too extravagant... Jiang Yan felt he was being wasteful.

"Boss, do you buy safflower here?" Jiang Yan asked the pharmacy owner.

"Ten copper coins per plant," the pharmacy owner said, squinting as he looked up.

When Jiang Yan looked at him, he realized that this guy was almost a carbon copy of the pharmacy owner in the beginner village!

"Goodbye." Jiang Yan left without saying another word.

After leaving the pharmacy, Jiang Yan went to find the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop was quite far from the pharmacy; it took two blocks to get there.

There weren't many players inside, just four or five scattered around.

Jiang Yan deliberately dawdled, waiting until they all left before taking out the Bronze Staff and saying to the blacksmith, "Boss, please take the Gemstone Finder off this."

"Oh? It's even inlaid with a divine stone." The blacksmith shop owner was a middle-aged muscular man. After taking the [Bronze Staff] and examining it for a while, he immediately started hammering it. In no time, he removed the [Gemstone Finder] (Level 1) from the [Bronze Staff].

"Cheng Hui, ten gold coins!" The blacksmith shop owner smiled and handed the two items to Jiang Yan.

"Ten gold coins?!" Jiang Yan exclaimed, pulling at his noodles.

Damn, that's expensive?!

Is this scoundrel trying to rip me off?!

"What, can't afford it? Believe me or not, I'll call the city guards!" Seeing Jiang Yan didn't move, the blacksmith immediately threatened, "One gold coin for one hour of confinement, kid, you better be sensible!!"

"I'm rich!" Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, paid ten gold coins, and retrieved the [Bronze Staff] and [Gem Finder] (Level 1) into his backpack.

He then removed the [Death Scepter] from his hand, took out the [Gem Finder] (Level 3) from his backpack, and asked, "Boss, how much does it cost to inlay this divine stone?"

Level 3 gems are significantly larger than Level 1 gems, and their colors are also much more dazzling, a world of difference.

"It's actually a top-grade divine stone?!" The blacksmith shop owner excitedly held up one finger.

"Ten gold coins too?"

"You think you can treat a beggar like that? You should give me at least a thousand gold coins!" the blacksmith sneered.

"...Goodbye." Jiang Yan turned and left.

That bastard is definitely trying to rip him off!

He refused to believe that without this guy, the divine stone couldn't be imprinted!

Jiang Yan turned around and returned to the teleportation array in the square, teleporting to Qinglong City.

After finding the blacksmith shop in Qinglong City, the price quoted there was very high, requiring 800 gold!

"Inlaying divine stones is difficult enough, let alone a level 3 divine stone, which is the highest level of divine stone!" The blacksmith shop owner in Qinglong City looked at the level 3 divine stone in Jiang Yan's hand with great admiration.

"800 gold..." Jiang Yan still felt it was too expensive.

He then went to two more major cities, and the quotes he received were all around 800!

He was somewhat dissatisfied with the price. In the starting village, it only cost 3 gold to inlay a level 1 divine stone, but outside, it cost 800 gold.

I wish I could go back to the starting village.

But that's obviously impossible. The rules of "Peak" state that once you leave the starting village, you can never go back!

Jiang Yan found the teleportation array, opened the main city that could be teleported to, and kept scrolling down until he saw an incredible place at the end!

Number 142857... Newbie village?!

How could this happen?!

Jiang Yan stared at the spot in disbelief, then clicked on it as if possessed.

The next instant, his body disappeared into the teleportation array.

Beginner Village #142857

Under the crooked tree, Jiang Yan walked out with a strange expression, looking at the village chief not far away and the new players coming and going nearby, as if in a dream.

"Wait, could it be because..." Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something.

He had previously stolen the ownership of the Wild Boar King, found its tusks, and handed them over to the village chief of the beginner village, thus gaining his friendship and being able to use the teleportation array here for free.

Could it be that I was able to come back because of this?

A look of surprise gradually appeared on Jiang Yan's face.

Although the starting village consists of low-level maps, the fourth mine on the left in the northern area is connected to an underground mineral vein. That place can be used to collect divine crystals for crafting artifacts, as well as all sorts of strange ores. If he can come back anytime, that will be a unique benefit for him!

After all, even if others gained the friendship of the village chief in the newbie village just like him, they still wouldn't have his level 6 mining skill!

However, the most urgent matter at hand... Jiang Yan composed himself and quickly ran towards the blacksmith's shop.

The blacksmith shop in the beginner village is small, and only one person can enter at a time.

After queuing for a while, Jiang Yan immediately took out the [Death Scepter] and a level 3 [Gem Finder]: "Boss, how much gold does it cost to inlay this?"

"A level 3 divine stone?!" The blacksmith's eyes widened. "Where did you get that, kid?!"

Jiang Yan laughed and said, "I was lucky to run into a dimensional merchant."

"Your luck..." The blacksmith shop owner said with envy and jealousy, "It costs 100 gold to inlay a level 3 divine stone! But you know the rules, there's a chance of failure when inlaying a hole. If it fails, your silver equipment will be destroyed."

"I know." Jiang Yan smiled and handed over the [Death Scepter] and the level 3 [Gem Finder].

It costs around 800 gold to inlay an emblem on the outside, but in the starting village it only costs 100 gold, which is incredibly cheap!

Jiang Yan waited quietly, and after a while, a tinkling sound came from inside.

This time, it took about twenty minutes before the blacksmith shop owner emerged, sweating profusely: "I haven't failed you!"

"Thank you, boss!" Jiang Yan happily paid and accepted the [Death Scepter]!

【Death Scepter】(Silver): A staff inlaid with 【Gemstone Seeker】, Magic Attack +18, Magic Penetration +5%, Monster Drop Rate +3, Requirements: Mage, Priest!

Level 1 [Gem Finder] increases monster drop rate by 1, Level 3 [Gem Finder] increases it by 3, this is...

Jiang Yan was speechless, because according to the condensation of divine stones, one level 3 [Search Gem] requires nine level 1 [Search Gems] to be fused together!

Never mind... Jiang Yan then took off [Black's Black Robe] (silver) and [Lich's Ring] (silver), and handed over the level 1 [Gem Finder] and [Critical Strike Stone].

"10 gold coins!" the blacksmith shop owner immediately replied.

This price is great!

Jiang Yan smiled and paid the money.

The blacksmith was quick; he completed the engraving in just over ten minutes, and it was all successful!

"Boss, your skills are unmatched. I'll definitely come back to you again!" Jiang Yan gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, once you leave the starting village, you won't be able to come back," the blacksmith shop owner said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true," Jiang Yan said with a mysterious smile.
