Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"Hey, my friend, the price of your master copy of 'Quick Hidden Weapon' is a bit too outrageous! It's even more expensive than all the other skill books on the market! How about this, could you give me a discount? Sell it to me at half price?"

Wu Ming suppressed his discontent, trying to remain calm and polite. He expertly clicked on the private chat box next to the icon for the "Quick Hidden Weapon" skill book and quickly typed a message to the seller, hoping to bargain with him.

"A ten billion Maple Leaf Coins is a very reasonable price! You know, this skill book master copy will significantly increase the support for the standard flying profession in Flying Hero!

Besides, this master copy of mine wasn't easy to come by. I spent a fortune buying a bunch of scraps, then used my luck to put it together like gambling! So you should understand my difficulties. I have to recoup my costs, right?

Furthermore, up to this point, there are only a handful of two or three flying heroes in the entire MapleStory world who have truly learned and mastered this skill! This shows how rare and sought-after this "Quick Hidden Weapon" book is!

Not long after, almost at the moment Wu Ming clicked send, the seller gave a reply.

After reading the long string of messages from the seller, Wu Ming suddenly realized what was going on. It turned out the seller was a complete gambler, but unfortunately, his luck had been bad, and the skill he had gambled away wasn't what he needed.

Now he is eagerly hoping to find a stupid "big victim" to bear the loss for him and take over this hot potato!

Although those who embark on the path of flying knights usually have relatively strong financial resources, they are by no means foolish. It is for this reason that this highly priced master copy of the "Quick Hidden Weapon" skill book finally caught Wu Ming's eye.

"Huh! You're saying this book is a rare skill? Dude, you're kidding! You know, the job-changing craze is only just beginning. Who can say for sure if this skill book will still be worth a full 500 million Maple Leaf Coins in a few days?"

Wu Ming retorted bluntly. As he spoke, his mind couldn't help but reminisce about the scene he'd witnessed this morning when he'd traveled to the MapleStory world! The entrance to the abandoned dungeon was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, a sea of ​​humanity.

Wu Ming pondered for a moment, his mind forming a conclusion. He believed that after today, the job-changing frenzy would be even more intense. With this thought, his face remained devoid of smiles, not even a hint of relief, as he blurted out these words bluntly.

In that abandoned dungeon, players who successfully hunt down the final angel boss, the Green Water Spirit King, will receive rare items such as job transfer card fragments or, after synthesizing them, a level 30 job transfer medal. The advantage for the wealthy is that these job transfer items can be freely bought and traded on the market.

Among the many professions available, some people with a certain economic strength resolutely embark on the path of warriors, but more people, in pursuit of high critical hit rate and super high evasion ability, have devoted themselves to the path of standard flying.

The vast majority of those who walked the Path of Dart Flying were wealthy individuals, possessing ample financial resources to invest heavily in backpack grids and darts.

Because of this, Wu Ming knew without even having to think about it that at least 70% of the Level 30 job transfers would be made up of those who first switched to the Standard Flying path. After all, these wealthy individuals were fully capable of purchasing job card fragments at exorbitant prices, or even directly purchasing Level 30 job transfer medals!

"Brother, why don't you go check out that abandoned dungeon first, or take a closer look in the auction system to see if there are any Class Card fragments or items like the Level 30 Class Change Medal. Once you've checked, then consider carefully whether this copy of the 'Quick Hidden Weapon' skill book in your hand is truly worth the price!"

After saying that, Wu Ming closed the private chat box without hesitation.

Wu Ming argued with the seller of the master copy of the "Quick Hidden Weapon" skill book for quite a while, but they couldn't reach a consensus. Finally, he could only sigh in frustration and resolutely exit all related interfaces.

Wu Ming then turned his gaze towards Dachun and Ah Hao, and realized that while he was concentrating on checking the auction system, they had been silently guarding beside him to ensure that he would not be attacked by the snails and green water spirits nearby.

"Let's go!"

Wu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, but he did not reveal the destination of this trip.

Wu Ming raised his magic wand and instantly unleashed a group healing spell. A warm, gentle light emanated from him, instantly enveloping the two people beside him. Like the warm spring sun, it gently soothed their health, lost from slaying the snail and the green water spirit, quickly restoring it to full strength.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Ming once again unleashed his uniquely Flying Hero's Qinggong skill. His movement speed and jumping power were significantly increased. His robes fluttered, his feet moved with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he had leaped several feet.

"Follow me!"

At the same time, Wu Ming said this without looking back, and then he followed the path that only he was familiar with, and rushed towards the direction of Archer Village like an arrow.

Seeing this, Dachun and Ah Hao exchanged a knowing glance. Though a hint of doubt lingered in each other's eyes, they were filled with a greater sense of trust and understanding for Wu Ming. They nodded without hesitation, both taking steps and following closely behind Wu Ming. The three of them maintained a tight formation along the way, none of them saying a word.

With Wu Ming leading the way, all kinds of monsters that might have caused them a lot of trouble were now as vulnerable as paper.

Whenever a monster appeared, Wu Ming's magic wand would instantly condense into a dazzling ball of lightning. With a flick of his arm, the lightning shot out with lightning speed, striking its target with unerring accuracy. After a series of crackling sounds, the monsters screamed and fell to the ground, dead.

In this way, Dachun and Ah Hao could easily follow Wu Ming all the way without having to do anything. However, although this situation made the journey particularly smooth, it also made them feel a little disappointed.

After all, as a member of the team, they never had the opportunity to demonstrate their strength and value. However, despite their reluctance, they chose to silently follow Wu Ming's steps and continue to move forward.

At the twin trees in Shooter Village!

"How many Maple Leaf Coins do you have on you now? Are these enough for us to take a taxi together?"

Wu Ming stood steadily beside the gray, white and black taxi in Sagittarius Village. He turned his head slightly, glanced at Dachun and Ah Hao beside him in turn, and asked.

"Well... we do have some Maple Leaf coins, but taxis are so expensive, it's like a rip-off! So even if we had some, we wouldn't be willing to spend the money!"

When Ah Hao heard Wu Ming's question, a trace of embarrassment instantly appeared on his face. He scratched his head and said.

"I still have several million Maple Leaf Coins! If you want to take a ride, I can still afford it. Just tell me which village you want to go to, and Ah Hao and I can just run there! Maple Leaf Coins are hard to come by anyway, so every penny saved is a penny earned!"

At this time, Dachun on the side quickly interjected.

As he spoke, Dachun looked at Wu Ming sincerely, as if he was ready to pay for his fare, and then he and Ah Hao would travel to their destination.

"What the hell is going on here?! Why do I feel like a bad guy who's out to rip off my teammates' money..."

However, after Wu Ming heard Dachun's words, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead. He muttered to himself.

However, what Wu Ming did not expect was that he earned Maple Leaf Coins at an astonishing speed. It was hundreds of millions! In comparison, ordinary people would earn just a few Maple Leaf Coins.

Either they could only accumulate it bit by bit through honest and lawful monster hunting, or they could rely on daily frugality and save a little from every tooth. Thinking of this, Wu Ming couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly: How could the gap between people be so big?

"Okay, stop talking! Take these two coins and exchange them for Maple Leaf coins in the banking system!"

Wu Ming spoke as he expertly navigated the banking system. In the blink of an eye, he pulled two glittering coins from his backpack and tossed them without hesitation to Dachun and Ah Hao, who were standing nearby.

You know, this banking system is not something you can see casually. It is actually an extension of the auction system, specially designed to handle transactions of priceless items.

When the price of something is ridiculously high and both parties still want to complete the transaction face-to-face, they can choose to package a large number of Maple Leaf coins into coins in this banking system. This method is actually quite similar to checks on Earth, and its purpose is nothing more than to make transactions more convenient and efficient.

Unfortunately, only a handful of people can currently use this banking system. The reason is simple: this mysterious banking system will only activate when the number of Maple Leaf Coins in their backpacks exceeds 100 million.

So for most people at this stage, this banking system is still as far away as a legend, or they have never even heard of it!

Dachun and Ah Hao listened to Wu Ming's words with bewildered expressions, not understanding what he meant at all. They just thought Wu Ming had thrown two ordinary coins at them.

However, the moment they caught the coin, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in their minds.

"Banking system activated!"

"Fuck...Fuck...Fuck~ Shit! Shit~"

The two men exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with disbelief and astonishment. Then, as if waking from a dream, they looked down at the coin in their hands. It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't looked, but once they did, they froze in shock, as if struck by lightning.

It took them a long time to recover from their extreme shock, but they were still too excited to control themselves. Even their speech became stuttering and incoherent, like babies who had just learned to speak.

"Okay, stop rambling on and let's get on the bus and head to the abandoned city!"

Wu Ming looked at the two people in front of him who were stunned, unable to move their feet or speak complete sentences. He shook his head helplessly, casually said an address, and got into a taxi without paying any more attention to them.

And just as Wu Ming got into the car and drove away, Dachun and Ah Hao finally woke up completely.

The two of them hurriedly exchanged their Maple Leaf Coin tokens for real Maple Leaf Coins through the bank system and placed them in their backpacks. They then hurriedly jumped into another taxi bound for the abandoned city, closely following Wu Ming's direction.

“Ugh~~~Ugh~~~”

Accompanied by two loud retching sounds, Dachun and Ah Hao's faces turned pale as paper, and their bodies swayed as they held on to the taxi's license plate pole, as if they would collapse to the ground at any time.

"What the hell is this taxi? It can actually break through dimensions and move through space, and it also makes me feel so dizzy! It's almost messing my head up!"

Da Chun covered his mouth with his hand and cursed incoherently. He felt dizzy and his stomach was churning. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

"It's...it's so uncomfortable! We've been in this MapleStory world for a while now, but this is my first time taking a taxi. Who knew it would be this kind of experience!"

Ah Hao next to him was not in much better condition. He closed his eyes tightly, resisting the urge to vomit again, and spoke stutteringly.

At this moment, Wu Ming, who was standing not far away, looked at the two miserable guys with a frown on his face, secretly complaining in his heart. He had originally thought that taking them along would make the operation easier, but he never expected that it would be like bringing along two country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

"That's enough! Stop vomiting! Come with me!"

Wu Ming waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the two men's vomiting. He really didn't want to waste any more time here; he just wanted to complete his mission and leave as soon as possible. With that, he turned and walked forward, ignoring the two people behind him who were still struggling to recover.

In fact, Wu Ming himself often takes the bus and has long been accustomed to the discomfort brought about by crossing the dimensional wall.

However, he had not expected that in this MapleStory world, as many as 90% of people chose not to take taxis because they were reluctant to spend money, so naturally they could not experience this unique riding experience.
