Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Wandering Merchant

Translator: 549690339

All equipment is categorized into whiteboards, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, perfection, epic, legend, and the strongest mythic.

Among them, the whiteboard is the simplest and most common.

The long knife in Zheng Cheng’s hand, and the round shield in Chen Xiao’s hand, both belong to this category.

You can buy with ordinary currency. It’s not expensive and ordinary people can use it.

But once the equipment reaches the black iron class, it is no longer accessible to ordinary people.

Equipment above the black iron, besides meeting the equipment requirements, will also have additional properties.

Among them, a select few pieces of equipment will also come with skills.

For instance, the Bloodthirsty staff now in Cai Shen’s mouth!

Chen Xiao exclaimed:

“Brother Cheng, this staff seems to suit you perfectly.”

Both Cai Shen and Zhang Ping’an agreed, saying, “Yes, indeed.”

“I’m just a chicken now, can’t use any equipment temporarily.”

Yao Zhixue also said: “This staff is not suitable for me, you guys can distribute it.”

Zheng Cheng didn’t want it either.

What he wanted more was some kind of a sword or knife.

The reason…is simple.

For random anatomy, you must have a sword or knife equipped in order to use it.

But he didn’t know if there were any suitable swords or knives for a Priest in this world?

However, seeing the thoughts of a few people, he could only keep this Bloodthirsty staff for himself.

“By the way,” Yao Zhixue suddenly asked, “After killing the BSS, we should leave the scene, but why did we still have half an hour?”

Zheng Cheng thought for a while and then said, “I know—the main task two!”

“Main task two?”

[Main Task 2: Rescue the Wandering Merchant.]

[Task description: A wandering merchant was attacked by fire rats yesterday, and he is now hiding in a corner of the fire rat nest. Find him and lead him out of the fire rat nest.]

“That wandering merchant!”

“Find him quickly!”

Several of them started searching right away. There were less than ten minutes left from the half-hour time.

“Brother Cheng! I found him!”

The huge rooster transformed by Cai Shen suddenly yelled. Everyone rushed over and saw a smaller hole in the southeast corner of the cave.

Inside, it smelled fishy and rotten. A figure was tied to a wooden stake with rope.

Zheng Cheng pinched his nose, this smell is too overpowering. “Chen Xiao, go and rescue him quickly. Maybe it will trigger the task!”

“Really?”

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he ran off.

“Yuck… ”

Zheng Cheng looked quizzically at Cai Shen standing at the entrance, “Why don’t you cancel the skill and return to your original form?” The big rooster tilted its head and said, “No! I like it this way.”

“Huh?”

Zheng Cheng was baffled,

Zhang Ping’an on one side chuckled and said, “Brother Cheng, after this kid transformed, his pants burst. Once he transforms back into human form…”

“Damn it! Stop talking!”

Cai Shen screamed, his huge mouth pecking towards Zhang Ping’an. “Hahaha, I won’t do it again, I won’t do it again…”

As the two were chasing each other and running around the field.

At that moment, they suddenly heard Chen Xiao’s yell from inside the cave:

“Damn it! Brother Cheng, come in quickly!” “This wandering merchant is not human!”

“Not human?” Zheng Cheng was puzzled, “Why don’t you just drag him out?”

“Oh, right!”

Chen Xiao quickly crawled out, and indeed, behind him followed a thin figure.

This figure was only about a meter and a half tall. He was thin with sharp features covering his entire body in a green color.

He has a pair of inverted triangle eyes, which look very cunning.

Was this… a goblin?

No no no, that doesn’t seem right.

More like… goblin? A goblin merchant?

“Goblin

“I am a wandering merchant ot the goblin tribe! I am not those shameful, dishonorable, looting goblins!”

The wandering goblin merchant corrected, “Respected humans, thank you for saving me-”

Zheng Cheng was surprised, “You can speak our language from Xia Country?”

The wandering goblin merchant said, “Before I entered your world, I have received a small wisdom inheritance, and I quickly learned the language of your planet.

“I am Doug Goldcoin. As a token of my gratitude for rescuing me, I can offer you some goods at cost price?”

Doug Goldcoin gave a heh heh laugh, “Of course, I also accept barter!”

“At cost price?”

“Barter?”

The few of them exchanged glances. Yao Zhixue whispered, “Perhaps this is a special reward for the hell-level difficulty of the Fire Rat Lair?”

Zheng Cheng nodded secretly. After looking up and down this wandering goblin merchant, he curiously asked, “The goods you mentioned… are those your torn underwear?”

The face of the wandering goblin merchant turned red, but it was not noticeable against his dark green skin.

“Bloody goblin! ”

Cai Shen also came closer, his massive helmet standing over King Doug.

Doug instinctively retreated, “I am a merchant. My goods are my lifeblood. How could they be stolen by these damn fire rats!”

He pounded his stomach with a violent stroke, and with a dry heave, spewed out a worn out ring. “Bloody hell! A space ring!”

“Space equipment!”

“Damn it! Brother Cheng, let’s loot him!”

The group exploded all of a sudden, ready to take out this wandering merchant.

All Professionists, after their awakening, receive an item slot. But there are only ten of them.

For every ten levels they rise, they may expand by another ten.

In theory, when a professionist reaches Level LVIOO, they will have a total of 110 item slots.

However, under normal circumstances, 99% of Professionists can’t level up past Level LV50.

A few dozen item slots are not enough for Professionists.

But space equipment is different. The smallest has about one cubic meter, which is big enough to fit many items and equipment.

Doug Goldcoin instinctively shrank back in fear, gritting his teeth, “Noble beings of the civilized world, this space ring has been passed down in my family for generations. Only those with the bloodline of the Goldcoin family can unlock it.”

“Even if you rob it, it’s of no use to you!” “Really?”

“More real than a mermaid’s tear!”

Zheng Cheng glanced at the time left to leave the instance. There were only three minutes left.

He assessed the value between killing the wandering merchant and the special reward. Eventually, he suppressed his killing intent.

“What goods do you have?”

Doug Goldcoin’s eyes lit up, “Healing potions! You human Professionists would need it, right?”

“And profession change certificates! I have an assassin profession change certificate here, a much sought-after item for all low-ranking assassins!”

“Wait, there’s more. I have a beast egg from Pale Canyon here. Rumor has it, you can hatch a sub-dragon magical beast from it…” “Besides, I have a skill book ready to be sold-”

“A skill book?”

At the words of the wandering merchant, the faces of the group all subtly changed.

For them as Professionists, the most important thing isn’t equipment or weapons.

It is the skill book!!!

The more skills they master and the higher their proficiency, the stronger their power will be.

And so, their strength will naturally increase.

A pity though.

In this world, the skill book is a manifestation of natural laws and is extremely rare.

Professionists can only learn new skills through skill books, apart from the newbie skills they acquire when awakening to their profession and the skill tree that develops naturally.

For blank skill slots, each person only has…4!

Which means that including the ten skills combined from the newbie skills and the skill tree of the professionists, each professionist can master a maximum of 15 skills!
