How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

After all, although star steel is valuable, it is at most equivalent to a hook. It is only because of its scarcity, and Yunyan may be in urgent need of it, that such conditions are offered.

Just when I was casually looking at the stall, I suddenly found a familiar object.

Moon White Holy Stone.

It looked like just a piece of glowing stone, just like the energy core he had encountered before and Blanche's notes, without any description. However, this thing had a great origin and was an ancient artifact left behind by the Moon Fox clan.

Players of the Holy Word Mage can take this stone to the Church of Light in the capital to start a special inheritance quest and switch to a hidden profession. Not only that, I still remember this inheritance, it seems to be somewhat related to the quest to weaken the Holy White Moon Fox.

"That was picked up by a friend's team in the Moon Shadow Woods by chance. If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's of no use anyway. You can still pick two more things." Yun Yan said generously upon seeing this.

I smiled slightly, picked up the Moon White Holy Stone, and at the same time, I casually picked up a worthless prop similar to a smoke ball, "No need, big brother, I'll just choose these two things."

Chapter 37 The Past

Yunyan was a little surprised to see that the other party only picked out two "worthless" things, but at the same time she also began to appreciate the cute little guy in front of her more and more.

"Since you've called me brother so many times, you take these two things. No matter what, I can't take advantage of a child."

As he said that, he pushed a gold-level crossbow blueprint and a bundle of more than ten bottles of magic burning potions on the stall into my arms.

I couldn't help but stick out my tongue. I could naturally see the value of both of them, but facing the somewhat stubborn Yunyan, it was difficult to refuse, so I accepted it reluctantly, wondering who was taking advantage of whom.

Although with Yunyan's temper, he probably wouldn't care much even if he knew the purpose of this Moon White Holy Stone. After all, to use what he once said, no matter how valuable something is, it is just a piece of scrap metal in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it.

I don’t know if it’s because of the cute little girl who appeared at the stall, especially with cat ears and cat tail decorations, but Yunyan’s stall, which originally had not many customers, attracted many curious glances. However, they just watched from the side and didn’t disturb her.

However, just as Yunyan and I were about to make the deal, a voice interrupted us at an inopportune time.

"I want this hook. How much is it?" A player dressed as a mage reached out and picked up the Molten Gold Hook and asked Yunyan, with a few younger brothers following him.

I frowned, turned around and found that these people were actually members of my old acquaintance, the Black Group.

Yunyan didn't know about the feud between me and the Black Crowd, so she replied politely, "This one has been bought by the little girl next to you. You can take a look at the others."

However, the other party was relentless and looked at me with a disdainful smile, "How much money can a little brat have? I will pay twice as much as she pays."

"Two hundred and five gold coins, why do you want to offer five hundred?" Yunyan raised her eyebrows and gestured to me.

I naturally understood what he meant, and I followed his lead, showing him an admiring look, "Brother, you are so rich. It's already very difficult for me to take out more than 200 gold coins. 500 must be just a small amount of money for you, right?"

When people passing by saw the situation here, they stopped and started talking about it.

The mage was embarrassed by what I did, and when he heard the people around him talking, his face became even more stiff. In the end, he had to save face, and he still had so much money in his backpack, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It's only 500 gold coins, I'll buy it!"

However, the buyer was willing, but the seller didn't have the same idea. Yunyan took the hook and handed it to me. "Business should be based on principles. I have already negotiated the price with this little sister. Don't you think your final move is annoying? What's wrong with the remaining 500 gold coins? I don't need your idiot money."

The last sentence was full of double meanings, and the mage immediately realized, "Are you kidding me?"

"Anyway, you people in the Black Crowd are used to being fooled by others, so one more of me won't make much difference." Yunyan raised her eyebrows.

"Fuck, you piece of shit." The mage immediately wanted to take action, but was stopped by several younger brothers next to him.

Although they were also very angry, they still maintained some rationality. "Brother Xian, there are guards here. If you take action, you will be caught and fined. There is no need, no need."

However, they wanted to adhere to the principle of not taking action and wanted to gain verbal advantage by virtue of their numbers. However, they did not expect that the people around them, after being reminded by Yunyan, discovered that they were all members of the famous Black Crowd on the forum, and they all started whispering.

Hearing the voice beside them, the mage and the others' faces darkened. They glared at Yunyan who didn't even look at them at the stall, and left in a hurry.

The players around them found nothing interesting to watch and gradually dispersed. Perhaps only a few lolita lovers stayed there.

"The Black Crowd are a bunch of bastards. They like to do this kind of boring stuff every day." Yunyan looked at the backs of those people leaving and sneered.

"Indeed." I agreed deeply and put the items I had traded into my backpack. I was a little curious when I saw him tidying up his stall. "Hey, Brother Yunyan, aren't you going to continue selling things?"

"I do want to sell." Yunyan picked up a straw that she had gotten from nowhere and started packing up the items on the stall. "But if I offend these bastards, I probably won't be able to sell anything. Although the guards won't attack me, they can still send some people to stop the people around me from doing business."

The reason why Yunyan knew this so clearly was because he had seen many similar situations before. It could be said that in his eyes, the group of people in black were no different from old gangsters.

"It's all the fault of that guy Mosha. I advised Azhuo and the others not to let such people become management, but they didn't listen. Now he has ruined the guild into this state." Yunyan said a lot of things in a rambling manner, as if recalling the past.

"Hey, does Brother Yunyan know the president of the Black Clan?" I never thought that Yunyan actually had a relationship with Zhuo Duo.

"I know him. It was Azhuo who persuaded me to join. But not long after Mosha joined, I couldn't stand it and quit." Yunyan narrowed her eyes. "I knew from the beginning that Mosha was a bastard and he had no good intentions. I heard that he was secretly transferring funds recently. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Tsk, why am I talking to a kid like you about this?" Yun Yan suddenly came to her senses and patted her head. "I don't know why, but I always feel like you're very familiar to me. We've started chatting without realizing it. It's really troublesome."

"No, I won't take the blame for this." I made a face and sent a friend request to him, "Where are you going next, Brother Yunyan?"

Yunyan accepted the application. "I can go anywhere. Just like before, I can find a place to sell things, buy some materials, and upgrade my secondary occupation level."

I thought about it, "How about going to the capital?"

"What are you doing there?"

"Brother Yunyan, have you ever heard of Atelier Xingyue?"

"I've heard that there are many powerful pharmacists and alchemists in that alchemy workshop. I also thought about joining before, but I gave up when I saw that the threshold seemed a bit high. What's the matter?" Yunyan was naturally very familiar with this name, or most of the secondary professional players in the Orwen Empire were like this.

After all, within two months, the potions sold by this alchemy workshop were able to occupy 30% of the market in the entire Orwyn Empire, and this was the result of competition with those big guilds and various studios. It can be said that the Starry Sky Alchemy Workshop gathered nearly one-third of the scattered pharmacists in the empire.

"I can recommend my brother to go there because I know someone there." I smiled slightly and began to think about winning over this acquaintance from my previous life.

After all, there are relatively few players with other secondary professions besides pharmacists that Sister Yue Changan has recruited. In addition, he trusts Yunyan, and he happens to have a copy of Blanche's notes, which contains the inheritance of secondary professions, which is just right for Yunyan to use.

But Yunyan didn't care about what I said. She laughed and touched my head. "That place can't be entered through the back door, but I will go and take a look when I have time. Thank you for your kindness."

Watching the other person leave, I couldn't help but curl my lips, thinking to myself, I wonder how you would react if you knew that the person who opened the back door for you was the owner of this house.

However, since the other party is like this, I can't force him. I plan to slowly win him over in the future.

I just showed some interest in what the other person said.

Chapter 38 The Tamer

"So the reason why the Black Clan fell apart in the previous life was because of the trickery of Mosha?" I pondered.

By the way, I have some impression of the mage just now. Judging from his attire, he seems to be a Holy Word Mage. Could it be that he was the player in the previous life who triggered the inheritance quest and then accepted the task of weakening the Moon Fox’s strength?

This seems to make sense. If I didn't exist, the mage might have taken a fancy to the Moon White Holy Stone after buying the hook and discovered the secret inside. This makes sense.

"Wait, but I remember that in my previous life, it wasn't the Black Clan that angered the Moon Fox Lord." But my thoughts got confused and messy again at this point, and I couldn't help but shake my head, "Could it be that this is all the butterfly effect caused by me?"

This does make some sense. After all, the fact that the Star-Moon Alchemy Workshop's potion share can occupy such a large proportion in the market is also related to himself. To be more precise, it is inseparable from the task assigned by Cui Si.

After all, four months after the game was launched, some pharmacists from large guilds had already shown signs of fatigue in improving their secondary occupation levels due to Tracy's teaching, but they were not aware of it yet.

As time goes by, those guilds will invest more resources in these pharmacists. I really look forward to seeing the expressions of those pharmacists when they see their stagnant pharmacy experience.

I smiled slightly, and as I left the commercial plaza, I put the hook in my backpack into the accessories column, and then looked at the glowing stone in my backpack. "I'll give this Moon White Holy Stone to Sister Qiu Ru, or my aunt."

But I suddenly thought of something else. "But if this happens, the task of weakening the Moon Fox's strength will not be the responsibility of the Twilight Guild in my previous life. Then I won't be able to let them defeat the Moon Fox. Does that mean that the famous Beast Tide in my previous life will be stopped by me in advance?"

Thinking about the headaches that might come later, I decided to ignore it for now. I glanced at the map and headed towards the residence of the blacksmith Brandi, where I had originally intended to go.

Within a few minutes, we saw a forging shop at the end of the road.

After hearing the purpose of my visit, the apprentice in the shop immediately brought the mission target to me.

Blacksmiths are different from blacksmiths. They are mainly responsible for polishing some delicate objects or equipment. Brandi, who walked out of the forging room, did not have conspicuous muscles. On the contrary, he looked gentle and refined.

"Hello, adventurer, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, Mr. Brandi. I got this item during my adventure. I wonder if you remember it?" I took out [Nobs' Fang] from my backpack and handed it to the other party.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party saw the prop in my hand, he was very excited. He quickly reached out to take it and looked at it carefully. "This is Nobs' fang... What on earth is it..."

It took a while to calm down. After waving her apprentice to leave, Brandi smiled apologetically at me and said, "I'm sorry, adventurer, for letting you see my misbehavior."

"It doesn't matter, but it looks like this item means a lot to you, Mr. Brandi?"

"Yes." Brandi nodded.

Through the other party's narration, I finally understood that when he was young, Brandi aspired to become a beast tamer like his grandfather, and Nobbs was his grandfather, or to be more precise, the wolf trained by his great-grandfather, who was equivalent to the guardian beast of their family.

However, Brandi's grandfather was very disappointed when he saw that the identity of animal trainers was not respected by the world and more and more people were prejudiced against animal trainers. So he left home with Nobbs and went to the Zeyue Mountains to live a secluded life.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. After growing up, Brandi no longer wanted to make his parents sad, so he turned to the profession of blacksmith. Although his grandfather died about ten years ago and was taken home by his good friend and buried in the cemetery in the town of Antia.

But there was no news about Nobs. To this day, Brandi is still obsessed with the incident. When he heard me say that I had seen Nobs' body, he became even more excited.

"Adventurer, may I ask where you found Nobus?" Brandi asked anxiously, but he seemed to think that this was too inappropriate, so he calmed down again and said, "I want to bring it back and bury it with my grandfather."

"I found it in a stone chamber in the Jackal Mine in the Zeyue Mountains."

"So that's how it is. That group of gnolls is not easy to deal with. And from your description, they should treat Nobus as a strong member of their tribe. It may not be easy to bring Nobus back."

Brandi sighed.

You're not trying to drag me down with this, I couldn't help but think to myself.

Fortunately, the designer of the mission seemed to know that it would be too difficult for an ordinary player to deal with a level 90 boss BOSS that was close to the command level, and there were so many bosses and elites around.

The look in Brandi's eyes quickly became firm. "But if I am stumped by such a difficulty, I will not be able to face my grandfather."

"In fact, over the years, I have also raised a worg named Nar without my parents' knowledge. However, it was seriously injured when it rescued me. Adventurer, can you help me collect some herbs? I will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards."

It turned out to be just a task to collect items, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course it's no problem."

System: Do you accept the mission [Beast Tamer Brandi's Awakening]?

Beast Tamer Brandi's Awakening (serial quest) [1/3]

Mission description: Blacksmith Brandi wants to regain his identity as a beast tamer and bring Nobus's body back to bury with his grandfather. However, because his trained wolf Nar was seriously injured, he asks you to find herbs to treat Nar's injuries.

任务目标：寒霜草蕊（0/20），紫锥菊（0/10），熔火花（0/10）

Although it is a serial task, there are only three task links displayed later, so it can be said that the process is relatively short.

Even so, the names of the herbs proposed by the other party, the first two are materials for making advanced health recovery potions and advanced mana recovery potions respectively, and they only appear in maps above level 70.

Therefore, they are occasionally sold at high prices in the trading house, and it is still difficult to collect them. However, that is only for ordinary players. As far as I know, Sister Chang'an has collected a lot of precious materials, and these two kinds of herbs should be in her inventory.

However, I have never heard of that thing called Molten Spark. It should be a special mission material that needs to be collected somewhere.

Chapter 39 Team Building Tasks

Sure enough, after I asked about the Molten Spark, Brandi told me the location where the Molten Spark grew. What surprised me was that this location was just near the ancient capital of Marina that Sister Dolan and the others were going to attack.

According to Brandi, there are still clans of desert barbarians there, so I must be careful.

At the same time, Brandi also gave me a special container that is similar to a glass jar and cannot be traded.

"Melting sparks are very special. Once they leave the hot sand of the desert, they will burn out, leaving only ashes. Only with this special container can the molten sparks be preserved intact."

This is really troublesome. You could just say that this quest can only be completed by the player who accepts it.

I couldn't help but curl my lips and said to myself. Originally, I had planned to ask Sister Duolan and the others to help collect Molten Sparks while they were conquering the guild dungeon, but now that this feature has been revealed, I have decided that I can only collect it myself.

After saying goodbye to Brandi and leaving, I thought about it and went directly to Antia's teleportation array back to the capital, Fanes, and came to the Star-Moon Alchemy Workshop.

It was just an ordinary alchemy workshop at the beginning, but with the funds I provided to purchase the surrounding land as supplement, it has been expanded into the largest workshop in Farns.

Although it is not as good as the magnificent imperial buildings in the capital, it is at least the unshakable number one among the players. Even the investment of those real-life consortiums in the era cannot compare to it.

After all, under the premise of taking the initiative to purchase plots of land at low prices, the plots of land that the consortiums behind the big guilds can only buy are in remote locations. At the same time, due to mutual competition, even the largest consortium can only buy more than 20 plots of land, and they are still distributed in major cities in the empire.

In a place like the capital where every inch of land is valuable, there are only a few locations that can be purchased by the guild at a huge price.

Therefore, a large-scale building like the Star-Moon Alchemy Workshop naturally leaves a deep impression on the player community just in terms of appearance, not to mention the precious varieties of potions that are constantly left out of it.

Once you enter, you can see people coming and going, including hired NPC waiters, apprentices who help out, and those secondary professional players that Sister Yue Changan has recruited over the past two months. The majority are of course pharmacists and alchemists.

According to Sister Yue Changan's idea, the entire alchemy workshop was divided into counters similar to those in a shopping mall. Each counter sold a category of items and was assigned to a specific person. This made it very convenient for statistics and purchases for customers. Players were also willing to come here to buy some essential potions or alchemy items.

It can be said that under the management of Sister Yue Changan, the development of the entire alchemy workshop is very prosperous and orderly, as can be seen from the fact that many pharmacists and alchemists want to join in.

If that idiot Tris was allowed to manage it, things would definitely be extremely bad now. This makes me feel lucky that I did it the way I did it.

After finding Sister Yue Chang'an and getting the Frost Grass Stamens and Echinacea from her, I explained my thoughts to her, and it turned out that my thoughts coincided with the actions she planned to take next.

"I was just about to do that. Since you said so, Xiaotong, I'll speed up." Perhaps it was the impressive results shown in two months that made Yue Changan no longer as indecisive as before. His flamboyant self-confidence made his occasionally sickly appearance carry a different kind of charm.

It is said that some time ago, after the management of Blue Shadow learned that this famous alchemy workshop was managed by the pharmacist who they had once disliked and kicked out, they did not hesitate to lower their face and come in person, hoping to get some discounts or cooperation from Yue Changan.

The result was that he was scolded out by Luoxue Fengye who happened to be present at the time. Later I heard that after that group of people went back, they kicked out the members who caused the two to leave the guild without any explanation. It was Mishui, who was in charge at the scene, who was responsible.

Thinking of this, I was quite curious. I hadn't seen Luoxue Fengye for a while, so I couldn't help but ask Yue Changan, "By the way, what is Sister Fengye doing recently?"

"Afeng is now taking her old friends and Sister Qiuru to Kendia in the southwest to challenge the BOSS. She said that she wants to accumulate guild honor so that she can open up new dungeons." Yue Changan replied with a smile while organizing the tools on the table.

After the guild was founded, two months was enough time for the two to get familiar with their aunt and cousin, so they were not surprised that Luoxue Fengye led the team.
