-2000 (Spell Damage)

[Log: You killed the professional Liu Neng, sin value +3]

Hao Ren raised his hand.

Another fireball hurtled towards the priest, who was already running away in terror.

The fireball struck him precisely in the back.

-2000 (Spell Damage)

With a burst of terrifying 2000 points of spell damage, the priest's back instantly carbonized and disintegrated while he was running.

[Log: You killed professional Liu Tong, sin value +4]

[Current sin value: 10 points, exceeding the basic range, you will be highlighted in red (countdown: 120 minutes 00 seconds)]

[First tier penalty reached: Experience gained +10%, equipment drop rate +10%]

"They can even change the penalty status?"

Hao Ren was delighted to see the new entry pop up in the system log.

"Luckily, I'm a law-abiding citizen, otherwise I might have actually gone to fight the monster who slaughtered the city for the reward."

Since the punishment is divided into stages, the severity may increase as the punishment progresses.

Having such a negative buff is a disaster for other professions.

For Hao Ren, this becomes a definite perk.

Killing other classes not only grants an experience bonus but also increases the drop rate of elite monsters.

He remembers killing over a dozen elite slimes and getting absolutely no gear.

With a 10% drop rate bonus, ten elite slimes will drop at least one piece of black iron equipment.

This kind of reward system is practically encouraging him to become a street cleaner!

The commotion they made quickly attracted the attention of those around them.

The once bustling wilderness area instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in horror at the boy standing on the two piles of ashes, and instinctively moved away.

Seeing the venomous looks from those around him, Hao Ren touched his nose, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and turned away from the crowd.

"Forget it, let's find a quiet place."

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would really lose his temper and kill all the other professionals around him as if they were monsters.

After all, these professionals are now equivalent to having an experience bonus.

......

Two hours later.

Hao Ren finally waited until the red mark above his head disappeared before leisurely returning to Jincheng.

The trading locations for most equipment and materials in Jincheng are mainly divided into two places.

One is the official recycling center of the Dragon Kingdom, and the other is a private black market.

If it were just the equipment and materials dropped by slimes in the beginning, Hao Ren would have just put them on the official trading house of the Dragon Kingdom.

It's simple and avoids the problem of selling it cheaply.

But he still had equipment belonging to several members of the Baijiang Guild.

Circulating these items on the official trading market might cause you some trouble.

"It seems the only option is to sell it on the black market."

Jincheng's black market is located on what used to be a food street in the western district.

Nowadays, this place is no longer bustling with life.

At the entrance of the former food shop, various kinds of equipment and materials are now displayed.

Walking further down the street, there were still many open spaces where people were hawking their wares.

The black market is a place that the Dragon Kingdom tacitly allows to exist.

Most things that the authorities can't handle or do can be accessed here.

From equipment and medicine to intelligence agents, everything is available.

Even murder and robbery can be done here, as long as you pay the price high enough.

Hao Ren found a relatively large shop and went inside.

Welcome!

At the shop counter, an elderly man with a monocle and a goatee glanced at Hao Ren indifferently before continuing to wipe the dagger in his hand.

"Boss, do you accept these things?"

As he spoke, Hao Ren placed the contents of his backpack onto the counter.

"what?"

The old man, who had been nonchalant, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw the first piece of equipment Hao Ren took out.

"Iron-grade equipment".

When Hao Ren took out that black iron-grade heavy armor shield, the old man could no longer sit still.

He suddenly stood up, grabbed the shield, and stroked its surface with great affection.

"This is great stuff! It's really great stuff!"

"This shield is worth at least 50!"

The old man looked up at Hao Ren, his mind racing with calculations.

"Who is this kid?"

"To casually pull out so much equipment, is he some kind of fool from a powerful family in Jincheng?"

He mistook Hao Ren for the kind of rich young master who steals equipment from home to sell.

He often saw people like that.

They know nothing, all they know is how to ask for money.

"One and a half million, I'll take all of these."

The old man put down his heavy armor shield, resumed his normal expression, crossed his hands on the counter, and looked at Hao Ren.

He was observing Hao Ren's changing expressions.

As long as the boy doesn't show any signs of impatience or dissatisfaction, he will stick to the price.

"not enough."

Hao Ren said expressionlessly.

"This kid is not easy to fool." The old man thought to himself after hearing Hao Ren's words that this young man was actually quite difficult to deal with.

"Two million, that's the limit I can offer." The old man gritted his teeth and added another 500,000 to the original amount.

Hao Ren did not answer, but slowly put the equipment back into his backpack one piece at a time.

The crisp, clanging sound of the objects striking each other was like a small hammer striking the old man's heart.

Just as Hao Ren was about to put the shield into his backpack, the old man quickly grabbed his arm.

"etc!"

The old man grew anxious.

To his utter surprise, Hao Ren didn't even give him a chance to bargain before preparing to leave.

These are the pieces of equipment.

But this is the best batch he's met today.

If he really misses it, he definitely won't get a good night's sleep tonight.

"Three million!"

"This is the highest price I can offer."

"And no one outside can offer a higher price than me."

The old man was panting heavily, staring intently at Hao Ren, as if afraid he would refuse.

Hao Ren looked at the old man's anxious and agitated appearance.

He knew he was almost at the top.

Although there was still room for growth, he knew he couldn't be greedy.

After all, if there is still equipment to sell later, it is better to prioritize selling it on the black market.

We can't let the relationship get too strained.

"Okay!" Hao Ren put the backpack back on the counter. "The boss is very agreeable."

Fearing that Hao Ren might change his mind, the old man quickly began to take inventory of the equipment.

"Boss, do you sell any storage rings?"

Hao Ren asked.

When he was broke, he didn't dare to even consider equipment like storage rings, which were at least of the black iron level.

But now I not only have money, but I also really need storage space to store things.

Otherwise, carrying a backpack is not only inconvenient, but also doesn't offer much space.

"A storage ring?"

The old man paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

"I just received one today."

"However, this ring is not cheap."

He took out an exquisite wooden box from the drawer under the counter and opened it.

Hao Ren's gaze fell on the ring in the box, and basic information about it popped up.

[Damaged storage ring]

Grade: Black Iron

Type: Jewelry/Ring

Attribute: 10 cubic meters of storage space

Requirements: Lv.5

Ten cubic meters.

The space isn't large, but it's sufficient for the current demand.

It can still barely meet the needs.
