Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"No, no, young man. Calm down." Levi pressed down on Roan's agitated shoulder.

"Knighthood is not just a title, but also a testament to strength. Rashly admitting that you are a knight is not a good thing for you."

"Roan, for your outstanding achievements, your loyalty, and your humble spirit, I, the Black Iron Knight Levi, in the name of the knight instructor under Lord Loton, reward you with a set of chainmail, a fine longsword, and a beginner's martial arts manual."

"You will no longer be a slave, but a citizen of Loton. I invite you to join the lord's army. To fight for Loton, to protect the territory of Aisen. Are you willing?"

Roan nodded quickly. "Of course, Mr. Levi."

"Very good." Levi looked at Roan with satisfaction.

Although Roan was his knight squire, he didn't teach Roan much, and instead put Roan in danger.

Although Roan's talent far exceeded his expectations, and he even became an apprentice knight after only a month of learning basic breathing techniques, Levi still felt somewhat guilty. He had not fulfilled the duties of a knight.

Levi was determined to do everything in his power to train Roan into the best knight.

He took out a scroll. "Luo An, this is the first-level breathing technique, 'White Wolf.' It's the same breathing technique I practice. Take a look at it first, and then go to the Holy Flame Church to get the martial arts skills. Remember, the key points are the martial arts skills that complement 'White Wolf.'"

Levi briefly shared his insights on the "White Wolf" breathing technique.

"Then go to the blacksmith to get a set of chainmail and a longsword, and report to the barracks. Just give them your name after you've already spoken to them."

Dugan exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Roan isn't joining the militia?!"

Levi nodded and continued to speak to Luo An:

"By the way, I've collected your bounty: fifty copper coins for a cultist and one silver coin for an apprentice knight, totaling three silver coins and fifty copper coins. I'll give you an additional fifty copper coins as a reward." Levi took out a small bag containing three silver coins and one hundred copper coins.

"You're still growing, so don't be stingy. Eat something good and wear something nice too. Such a handsome boy shouldn't always be wearing tattered clothes."

"Yes." Luo An kept Levi's instructions in mind.

Reeves turned to the militia again, then pointed at Roan.

"Did you see that clearly?! You bunch of idiots!"

"I've told you all before, learning breathing techniques is a ladder to advancement!"

"If only you put in half the effort of Luo An—"

As Roan walked toward town, carrying a bottle of wine in one hand, he attracted the attention of the townspeople. He first went to the market and found Tonerie's camp.

"I have two bottles of wine here, could you help me estimate their value?"

"Ah, of course." Tonerie gestured for the ale to be placed on the table. "Aisen Territory is most famous for its ale; many nobles enjoy it."

After the bottle was placed securely on the small table, Tonerie picked it up to examine it, and then handed a silver coin to Roan.

"This is what I earned selling aphrodisiacs last night; I'll give you 30%."

Luo An was taken aback, then took the silver coin. Thirty percent was one silver coin, which meant that Tonerie could earn three silver coins in one night.

Even if you fight tooth and nail all night, you can only earn 3.5 silver coins. Learning a skill will make you well-off anywhere.

Tonerie noticed the change in Roan's expression. She proudly raised her chin.

"Don't underestimate alchemists. To make a potion, success rate, raw material cost, and luck are all indispensable."

"The real skill isn't alchemy, it's me."

"..." Luo An picked up the silver coins and put them into his money bag. The sharp-eyed Tonerie saw the three silver coins in the bag.

"Wow!" she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes shining.

"I didn't realize you were so wealthy. What do you need to buy?"

"Do you still have any invigorating potions? The kind I drink." Buying invigorating potions was Luo Anlai's most important task at the camp.

After all, Luo An's health was boosted by drugs, and he can't stop taking them yet.

The thought that a bottle of invigorating potion cost a silver coin made Luo An regretful; he should have asked for more.

"Of course." Tonerie took out a small bottle containing a clear liquid and placed it on the table.

"The quality is the same as what you're drinking; it's all top-quality."

Just as Luo An was about to pick it up, Tonerie snatched the potion away and waved a finger at him.

"One silver coin and ten copper coins. Thank you."

"Why has the price gone up?" Luo An's hand, which was reaching for silver coins, suddenly froze. A bottle of potion cost one silver coin and ten copper coins; it was simply unsustainable.

"The ingredients for the invigorating potion include fragments of tortoise shells, which I brought from the north. Now we've run out of ingredients, and it's too expensive to buy them here." Tonerie glanced at Roan regretfully, and seeing that Roan remained expressionless, she sighed again.

"You're a regular customer, and to be honest, I don't want to raise prices either."

"... "Roan reluctantly took out another 10 copper coins and put them on the table. The wine was taken away by Toneri. Toneri then put the invigorating potion on the table.

"Oh, sir, you're very generous. I've studied your recipe, and you could use high-quality herbivorous tortoise shell fragments instead of land tortoise fragments. The effect might be even better."

"Lorton Town happens to have fragments of herbivorous turtle shells, but unfortunately the quality here isn't very good. If we buy them rashly, not only will the medicine be ineffective, but we also don't have the energy to screen them carefully."

Roan knew Tonery had just said it casually, and he didn't take it to heart. As he took the invigorating potion, a flash of golden light appeared before his eyes.

[White Achievement: First-hand Transaction]

[Unlock condition: Acquire items worth 20 silver coins through trading.]

[Currently: 12 silver coins, 33 copper coins / 20 silver coins]

11 silver coins and 10 copper coins represent the total value of purchasing Invigorating Potions.

One silver coin and thirteen copper coins represent the total value of bread that Luo An purchased in the past month.

The progress on this white achievement is almost halfway done without me even realizing it.

Luo An had a sudden thought. The ability of the keywords seemed to be related to achievements. He wondered if he could unlock a keyword related to buying and selling.

While Roan was pondering, Tonerie had also finished tasting the ale.

"I only need one bottle of wine, it's top quality, I'll give you fifty copper coins."

Tonerie took out another fifty copper coins. "Ale doesn't keep well, so this is the price I can offer."

Roan glanced at Toneri and picked up 50 copper coins.

The progress of unlocking the "First-hand Transaction" has also increased by 50 copper coins, bringing the total to 12 silver coins and 83 copper coins.

"You can do it this way too," Luo An muttered.

Exchanging beer for copper coins worth 50 copper coins is a reasonable exchange.

Unfortunately, you can't transfer from left to right hand. Step on your right foot with your left foot to complete the achievement.

For now, we can only wait until the project is completed and see if there are any other solutions.

Luo An picked up the remaining bottle of ale; it was time to collect his armor and martial arts skills.

"I will find a way to find alternative materials."

"Huh?" Tonery had just said it casually, but she didn't expect Roan to take it seriously.

"Actually, I can go find it myself, no need to trouble you," Tonerie smiled faintly. "I request an increase of 20 copper coins in the price of the reward potion."

Sure enough, how could this woman be so kind?

Roan couldn't help but roll his eyes; raising prices was probably Toneri's real goal.
