Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Wu Ming cursed incessantly in his heart, feeling almost exhausted. He took a deep breath, then shook his head helplessly, deciding to put aside his anger and began to pack his heavy backpack.

He took out the items from his backpack one by one and carefully examined them, comparing their values ​​on the auction system. He tossed those seemingly worthless pieces of equipment out of his backpack without hesitation, like throwing away a pile of useless garbage.

As for the remaining decent equipment materials, they were neatly listed in the auction system at the half-price standard set previously, hoping to be sold as soon as possible in exchange for some gold coins.

"Let's look for other more advanced potions!"

Wu Ming muttered to himself. After finishing his backpack, he thought for a moment and quickly typed the word "potion" into the search box.

What was displayed on the screen were all ordinary white potions and blue potions, but there were very few potions that could restore a large amount of MP!

Wu Ming was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. He bought out all the vitality potions he found, but even so, the number was only more than a hundred bottles.

After much deliberation, Wu Ming decided that this amount of vitality potion was far from enough. So, he decided to purchase a higher-level recovery potion through the world chat box.

"Buying a large quantity of high MP recovery potions at a high price. Message me if you have any!"

After sending a message in the world chat box, Wu Ming did not continue to stare at the chat window waiting for a response, but turned around and strode towards the Snail King Secret Realm.

As Wu Ming walked along, he saw a sea of ​​people everywhere he looked. Most of these people were players focused on acquiring Maple Leaf Coins rather than leveling up. They were either stabbing slowly crawling snails with weapons or chopping yellow-capped flower mushrooms with axes.

At this stage, although the experience points gained from hunting such low-level monsters are relatively small, if hunting as a team, there will be additional experience bonuses.

The most important thing is that hunting these low-level monsters at their level is free of consumption. Not only can they obtain dropped items and other materials, equipment and resources, in addition to experience points, the income is enough to make up for the days of being slaves on Blue Star.

What's more crucial is that most of these people have incurred enormous debts in the Blue Star world. Therefore, the players who currently choose to hunt these low-level monsters are actually trying to fill the hole of their own debts.

This time, Wu Ming set out from Shooter Village and traveled all the way to the fork in the road. Along the way, no one stopped him to ask for a group. This was probably because most people had already formed fixed groups, and the rest were basically solitary adventurers.

Wu Ming once again turned his gaze towards the mysterious entrance to the Snail King's secret realm. Without any hesitation, he raised his foot and stepped resolutely into this extremely familiar map.

"We must hold on! This Snail King was hard to come by, and so far, only our team has discovered it! The Snail King is about to unleash its amplification power, so use your tankiness to hold off the surrounding Green Water Spirits!"

A member of the Flying Man team shouted while attacking the Snail King.

"That's right, the items dropped by the Snail King are quite good, and they only refresh once a day. A successful hunt will net you millions, enough for us to split evenly! I'll take care of it! Just keep throwing darts and focus on the Snail King!"

Another member of the flesh-exporting warrior team added excitedly.

At this time, the archer standing in the distance and releasing arrows also echoed.

"I have to say, our captain is very observant. If it weren't for him, who would have thought that the Snail King was hiding on the top of this mountain? You know, this is the first boss Wu Ming has ever killed!"

"Yeah, luckily no one has found this mountaintop in the past few days. I heard that Boss Wu Ming is busy clearing dungeons lately. If he stays here, I'm afraid we won't have any chance at all!"

The magician echoed.

"Hmph, just him? I seriously doubt he has a whole team behind him, and he just delivered the final, fatal blow. Otherwise, how could he have single-handedly defeated the Snail King, who has millions of HP, in just one day? If he keeps attacking, he'll only have about a million HP left!"

At this time, the captain who was releasing the magic double-click in the back raised a question.

"That's right, the average level of the six of us has reached level 21. It would take us half a day to defeat the Snail King together. How could Wu Ming do it alone? He must have a team!"

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Wu Ming climbed the mountain with all his might. When he finally reached halfway up the mountain, a noisy sound came from the top of the mountain.

"Ha! There are actually people hunting the Snail King here at this stage. It's hilarious! And they even dare to scold me!"

These words full of provocation and disdain clearly reached Wu Ming's ears.

Wu Ming paused, stood mid-mountain, and looked up toward the summit. He saw a team engaged in a fierce battle around a giant snail king. Although the distance was far, he could still vaguely make out their tense and busy figures.

"These guys actually talked bad about me behind my back. I can't let them off easily. This is a great opportunity to snatch this boss and vent my anger!"

Wu Ming thought secretly in his heart, and after careful consideration, Wu Ming decided to take action.

He immediately unleashed his Shadow Clone ability. Following a flash of light, a shadow clone identical to him appeared beside him, and Wu Ming gave it a directive.

"Sneak quietly into the shadows of the trees on the top of the mountain and wait patiently. Once the Snail King's health is low, immediately use normal attacks to kill it and bring the dropped item, the light ball, back to me. Remember, do not get spotted!"

After giving the order, I don’t know whether the shadow clone understood it or not, but he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

After Wu Ming finished instructing his shadow clone, he turned and dashed towards the teleportation array at the foot of the mountain without hesitation. Upon reaching the array, he found a secluded corner and hid there, quietly waiting for the shadow clone to bring news of victory and a rich harvest.

"Stop talking and focus on the battle! Victory is in sight, guys, you must hold on and keep pushing. As long as we successfully hunt down this Snail King, we can easily farm Maple Leaf Coins all over this map!"

The captain, who had been blasting with magic double attacks, stared intently at the Snail King's health bar with a piercing gaze, shouting at the top of his lungs. His voice seemed to possess boundless power, revitalizing his teammates, who had been fighting for over half an hour and were feeling a bit tired.

"Understood! Everyone, keep dealing damage. After we take this guy down, according to the team's rule of splitting experience equally, almost everyone will be able to reach level 22 in one fell swoop!"

Another team member immediately echoed, and judging from his methodical command style, he was undoubtedly the deputy captain of the team.

The staff in his hand was flashing with mysterious light, ready to release group healing at any time to restore the condition of his teammates.

"Hahahaha! Our team's leveling speed is simply insane. Most players haven't even reached level 20 yet, but we're about to reach level 22! This is so cool! Look at my incredibly powerful explosive bow!"

At this time, the heroic archer laughed proudly and said.

Before he finished speaking, he unhesitatingly drew the bowstring to its full extent, unleashing a succession of explosive arrows packed with immense energy. Instantly, there were several loud booms, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

The archer's MP value was instantly emptied, but he didn't care. He quickly took a few steps back and hid behind the mage captain, taking a short rest to recover his magic power.

If Wu Ming were to use his current powerful strength to hunt down the Snail King, he would probably be able to easily take it down in less than ten minutes.

However, this elite team before him, over ten minutes after Wu Ming entered this map, had only managed to reduce the Snail King's health by one-fifth. It was truly a cause for regret.

Unfortunately, Wu Ming didn't want to show up right now. He hadn't reached level 30 yet, so he couldn't kill the adventurers, or he'd trigger the punishment of the world's will. Otherwise, he could just go up and kill them instantly with a lightning spell and then take the Snail King boss.

Helplessly, he could only patiently wait. Fortunately, the thing Wu Ming lacked the most was time.

At this moment, Wu Ming was leisurely staying next to the teleportation array at the foot of the mountain, with one foot casually stepping on the teleportation array, and the whole person was lying comfortably in a comfortable lounge chair, his mind constantly sliding the interface of the auction system.

At this moment, the private chat box in front of Wu Ming flashed one after another without any warning.

"Could it be that someone is finally contacting me to sell me MP medicine? I really hope the supply will be sufficient this time!"

Wu Ming muttered to himself while staring at the private chat box that kept flashing in front of him. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile.

"Brother, are you buying blue potions? I'm telling you, I have over a thousand bottles! And there's a whole lot of white potions too! I need to sell them now, so if you want them, I'll sell them in bulk for a cheaper price!"

As soon as he opened the private chat bar, the items sold in the first private chat box that caught his eye were all low-level potions that Wu Ming did not need.

"Hey, man, want some lemons? They restore 150 MP, and they're super cheap in bulk!"

Continue to look at the next message.

"Brother, could it be that you stole all the lemons from some safe zone's lemon orchard? How could there be such a huge amount of lemons?"

Looking at the message sent by the player selling lemons, Wu Ming was completely stunned.

Although lemons can indeed help restore MP, they are too sour and I often can't eat them after just a few.

At this moment, Wu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of a message in a private chat box.

"I have Morning Dew and Vitality Potion that can restore 2000 MP. If you're interested in buying them, please chat with me privately!"

This piece of news instantly attracted his attention and piqued his interest.

"Brother, how many high-recovery MP potions do you have? As long as the price is reasonable, no matter how much, I will take them all!"

Wu Ming stared at the private chat with anticipation and quickly sent a line of words.

"Our team is quite large, with mages making up the majority of us, so we have a huge demand for MP potions. We'll take whatever you have, no matter how much!"

After saying this, Wu Ming paused and thought: Although I have already stated that I want them all, I still have to explain why I purchased such a huge amount of MP drugs, otherwise the other party may have doubts.

He then added, "It's precisely because I have such a huge team behind me to support me that I dare to take so many MP pills in one go! Brothers, just find some and sell them. Of course, the premise is that the price is reasonable!"

After sending the message, Wu Ming waited quietly for the other party's response.

At this moment, he was a little nervous, not sure whether the other party would accept the reason he gave. However, what he didn't expect was that in less than a minute, he received a quick and straightforward reply from the other party.

"I have a total of 600 bottles of Vitality Potions and 200 bottles of Morning Dew, all of which are currently high-end MP recovery potions! If you really want them, I'll put them all up for auction for a total of 8,000,000 Maple Leaf Coins."

Seeing the price offered by the other party, Wu Ming couldn't help but take a breath and muttered to himself.

"Wow! It's so expensive! This is exorbitant! No, I have to bargain hard."

"This price is too high! Can you make it cheaper? How about six million? If you can, let's add each other as friends. If you have any good stuff in the future, just send it to me in a private message!"

Thinking of this, Wu Ming replied without hesitation. As he spoke, he was mentally calculating whether this deal was worthwhile.

"If it really doesn't work, forget it. Just slowly kill the monsters yourself. It won't be too late to clear the dungeon when you have more medicine. I don't believe there is a team that can clear the abandoned dungeon right now!"

"Sure! I'll put it up on the auction system now, and you can buy it if you like!"

After saying that, there was no reply from the other side.

Wu Ming also opened the auction system and started looking at it, constantly refreshing the potion column page.

After desperately refreshing, Wu Ming finally bought the Morning Dew and Vitality Potion. After buying them, he checked the newly refreshed Vitality Potion and found that it was completely sold out!

In a word, it means being rich!

"Drip drip!"

"Yeah! He actually added me as a friend!"

Looking at the friend addition reminder, Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that he would add him so soon.

"Brother, if I have potions in the future, I'll be the first to contact you! If you need anything else, you can also tell me, I have channels to get it!"

"That's all for now. Thank you for your support, big brother! My name is Guan Erzhao. If you need anything, just call me Zhaozi!"

"it is good!"

Wu Ming just replied with one sentence and closed the private chat box directly.
