Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

100? That much more? When Lu Ze was collecting them, he said that a piece of equipment like this would be worth at most 10 gold coins on the market. I didn't expect that the price of a complete set would be more than double.

Seeing that Chu Ci was thinking with his head down and did not speak,

Sler looked somewhat embarrassed as he extended his finger.

"Could it be that I quoted too low a price?" Sler couldn't help but wonder.

He shakily extended another finger.

"Two hundred, two hundred gold coins! That's the most I can offer. You have to let me make a little profit, right? Haha."

"make a deal!"

After storing the gold coin bag in the system, Chu Ci seemed to have thought of something and took out another set of equipment, the Queen Bee Set.

"I'm also interested in selling this set of equipment; you might want to take a look."

"No problem." Sler looked at it too.

Hmm? How should I put it, this equipment is a bit too low quality. Even if it were sold, there might not be anyone who would buy it. And it doesn't seem to have any set bonus. That's strange. I think this is the first time I've ever seen equipment like this.

No, I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

"So? How much is it worth approximately?"

Sler put down the equipment he was holding.

"Well, how should I put it, I can only offer a maximum of two gold coins for this set of equipment, what do you think?"

"Okay, that's the price!" Chu Ci nodded immediately.

Since the equipment's divine stone transferred the luck points to him, the bond of this equipment set has disappeared. Its current value is already quite good, so he's not picky.

After the transaction was completed, the two exchanged a few polite words and then left.

Just as he reached the gate of the World Road Chamber of Commerce, Senmo, who had been waiting at the entrance, blocked his way.

"Captain Senmo, is there anything else?"

"Brother Youdu, do you want to team up with us and go to the southern countries? The monsters there are much stronger and more varied than here, which is a great place to improve your strength." Senmo's tone was urgent, and it seemed that he really wanted to keep Chu Ci with him.

For some reason, the words Bors had once told him flashed through Chu Ci's mind.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; you're just blinded by immediate gains.

Yes, I used Flying Shadow Sand in front of them before, so they must have known my profession.

There is almost never a place for a thief in a normal team, which is clear from their team composition.

They didn't want a thief, at least that's what they thought before, so what made Senmo willing to wait here just to invite him? You know, the last time he refused, the other party didn't try to keep him, and they weren't this emotional.

"What did he discover? Is it a set of items? Could it be some kind of murder-for-treasure scheme? No, even if a Chosen One dies, they wouldn't drop gold coins."

"But no matter what, this invitation seems strange, and besides, I don't need teammates. Whether he has ulterior motives or not, it ultimately won't affect me."

"I'm sorry, Captain Senmo, but I still prefer being alone, just like before."

After saying that, Chu Ci activated his invisibility before giving the other party a chance to speak again.

Seeing the other person disappear, Senmo stopped speaking abruptly, his eyes flashing with struggle as he looked at the spot where Chu Ci had vanished.

After a while, Philo Kevin and the others came looking for them from a distance.

"Captain, didn't he agree?"

Senmo nodded helplessly.

"I think he must have discovered something. After all, I invited him once before, and this time it was obviously a purposeful approach. Any normal person could tell."

"Captain, I just don't understand? Is that kid so great that you invited him twice?" Kevin complained, already dissatisfied with Chu Ci.

Senmo shook his head at this.

"I once overheard a friend mention something: actually, after the seven main attributes, we chosen ones have an eighth hidden attribute called luck."

"Some people are born with high luck, so they have a higher chance of getting good loot when killing monsters, while others are born with low luck, so even if they kill a lot of monsters, it is difficult for them to get good loot."

Philo frowned, as if she had thought of something.

"Captain, you mean that the one with the poison might be a player with high luck?"

Senmo nodded in agreement.

"However, I can't be 100% sure. Maybe his equipment was bought for him by someone who's rich."

"But no matter what, having someone like that as a teammate is definitely a good thing for the team. We won't lose out no matter what."

"Alright, since he doesn't agree, we should pack up and escort the next caravan."

……

Dawn City Teleport Point.

There are teleportation arrays here that only the chosen ones can use, and of course, you have to pay for them.

"The southern countries are indeed a good choice. Perhaps I should give it a try. Anyway, having a teleportation array makes things much more convenient."

With that, Chu Ci walked onto the teleportation array.

Please select your target location.

"Let me think. The closest city in the southern kingdoms to here should be... Bilin City. How much is the teleportation fee? 10 gold coins? That's expensive! It's only a few thousand kilometers away."

"Fine, money is meant to be spent, so let's go!"

[Payment complete, transfer initiating.]

A flash of light, and Chu Ci's figure instantly arrived thousands of miles away, with others occasionally teleporting to the same location.

The street scene doesn't seem much different from Dawn City, the only difference is... ugh, it smells awful.

Chu Ci looked into the distance and saw people begging in tattered clothes everywhere on the street, and the stench seemed to be coming from them.

"Refugees? Sigh..."

He knew a little about the situation in the southern countries. There were dozens of countries of varying sizes in this region, and wars broke out almost every day, with residents often being displaced.

Some of the citizens of the defeated nations were even sold into slavery. In fact, the slaves in the caravan that Senmo and his men were escorting likely came from this group.

"Oh, right, I remember there's a Tier 2 secret realm in Bilin City, shall we go take a look?"

Without hesitation, Chu Ci quickly arrived at the Secret Realm Square.

Because the secret realms in "God's Domain" are only effective for those destined for greatness, most of the people gathered here are also those destined for greatness.

Some people entered in small groups, while others chose to shout out their opinions on the spot.

Of course, Bilin City will also send people to maintain order, but the most important thing is money.

Those destined to enter the secret realm will naturally have to pay a price to the local custodian, which is a considerable sum of money.

However, because of the fee, there weren't many people queuing here.

"Hey bro, want a walkthrough? It has all the information on the Green Forest Swamp, absolutely detailed! Only 50 silver coins!"

A lean man ran up to Chu Ci and whispered.

50 silver coins? That's not too expensive. Chu Ci is just worried about not having any intelligence.

It's true that he was first in the school, but that at most gave him a slightly better understanding of "God Realm" than most of his peers.

He's not omniscient or omnipotent. Besides, truly useful knowledge never appears in school; it's just a basic foundation.

"50 silver coins, right? I'll take one."

Face to face, the money was quickly transferred to the other party's system account.

"Alright! Here you go!"

The lean man handed Chu Ci a map and left with a smile.

"Tch, another naive fool who got scammed. You can find out about this kind of information with a little research. Why waste your money?"

People around them whispered among themselves, looking at Chu Ci with disdain.

Of course, Chu Ci didn't care; he immediately started looking at the strategy guide.

"Hmm... It seems there aren't any monsters with anti-stealth abilities higher than level 5, which makes things much easier."

"Hmm? This is it! I didn't expect to find such a monster here. It seems this trip was worthwhile."

Putting away the strategy guide, Chu Ci went to the front of the secret realm to queue up, and soon it was his turn.

"Ten gold coins per person to enter the Green Forest Swamp."

Chu Ci decisively took out a money bag containing ten gold coins and handed it to the guard.

Hmm? Only one person?

Although the guard was surprised, he still made way for them. His job was simply to collect the money, and he shouldn't ask questions he shouldn't ask.
