Online Game: I'm in MapleStory
Chapter 76: Interlude While Arranging Equipment
Under Wu Ming's watchful eye, Dachun and Ah Hao diligently studied the skill book and then followed him to the slightly dilapidated subway station on the right side of the abandoned city. They stood quietly in front of an old locksmith shop.
"Alright, now both of you quickly sort out all the Angel Series equipment you obtained in the abandoned dungeon. If you find any equipment or weapons with high stats, remember to hand them over to me immediately. If they're all just gray-paneled items, put them up for auction at the lowest price!"
At this time, Wu Ming looked around cautiously and saw that there were no other pedestrians passing by nearby, so he said to the two of them.
Hearing this, Dachun and Ah Hao opened their backpacks without any hesitation and began to pour out the items inside.
All of a sudden, a wide variety of Angel series equipment, weapons, and scattered skill book fragments poured out like a tide, falling to the ground with a crisp and pleasant "ding-dong" sound.
Seeing this, Wu Ming slowly took out a lounge chair from his backpack and sat down leisurely.
While observing Dachun and Ah Hao's busy figures with great interest, he remained alert at all times, keeping an eye out for any uninvited guests who might suddenly appear and try to take advantage of the situation to steal the equipment and items that they had spent more than ten hours to obtain.
At this stage, Wu Ming actually had no interest in these equipment, weapons, and skill book fragments, because they were too ordinary and of negligible value in his eyes. However, for most other people, these items were priceless treasures!
After all, Wu Ming spent a lot of effort and took Dachun and Ah Hao to work tirelessly in the abandoned copy before he finally got this item.
Although these things are not very valuable to him personally, it is better to be safe than sorry. To be on the safe side, he still has to be more careful to avoid being snatched away by some people with ulterior motives.
"Boss, look! Several of the equipment and weapons here are actually blue quality! We've also sorted the rest of the items by category. There are thirty-six fragments of skill book fragments, and there are almost four or five hundred bottles of white and blue potions combined!"
Dachun shouted excitedly. He then neatly spread all the equipment and weapons on the ground and sorted them carefully.
Then Dachun picked up a stack of skill book fragments and several pieces of blue-quality equipment without hesitation, walked straight to Wu Ming, and handed them over excitedly.
Wu Ming looked closely and saw Da Chun holding a set of angel-series full-body armor that emitted a faint glow, as well as several uniquely shaped weapons. Without a word, he reached out and took the items, quickly stuffing them into his backpack.
"Take a good look at the skill book fragments and the remaining equipment and weapons. See if there's anything suitable for you. If nothing seems to be suitable, then do as I just said. Simply put them up for sale on the auction system!"
As for these potions, keep them in your hands for now. I'll come back to you for them when I need them! Also, if you get any Maple Leaf Coins from selling these items, don't even think about giving them to me. Just split them between the two of you!"
After Wu Ming deftly packed up the equipment and weapons that were of great practical value to him, he turned to Dachun and Ah Hao and said calmly.
"Thank you, boss!"
Hearing Wu Ming mention the word "haul," Dachun and Ah Hao shouted in unison, their voices filled with irrepressible excitement. Before they finished speaking, they eagerly scrambled forward and began carefully selecting and distributing the remaining items on the ground.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, accompanied by a sharp and piercing whistling sound, and a black figure flashed past the eyes of the three people like a ghost.
The speed was so fast that even Wu Ming, who was always quick to react, had no time to react. In the blink of an eye, a full third of the useless equipment that had been piled on the ground disappeared!
"Thank you for nature's generous gift! Hahahaha! I, the great thief Zeng Wei, would like to borrow these little gadgets of yours for today, and I don't intend to return them!"
At the same time, an extremely arrogant voice was heard in the air.
By the time Wu Ming and the others came to their senses, the black shadow had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only these arrogant words and a blurry afterimage created by its rapid passing, as if mocking their slow reaction.
"Damn it! Someone actually dared to steal my things!"
Dachun suddenly roared, his voice echoing throughout the abandoned city. His eyes widened as he stared at the place where his equipment had been placed, now empty.
"Boss, what should we do? We can't seem to catch up with that guy!"
Seeing this, Ah Hao, who was standing by, showed a look of astonishment on his face and quickly looked at Da Chun and asked. As Ah Hao spoke, he rubbed his hands anxiously, obviously feeling very troubled by what was happening in front of him.
"Don't worry, just go ahead and pack up the rest of your stuff and then put it up for auction. What was stolen was just worthless equipment, so it's gone. Besides, this is a safe zone, and no one can attack anyone else here."
After hearing what the two were saying, Wu Ming calmly walked over to check on the situation. He glanced at the empty ground and then spoke calmly.
Considering the speed of the thief Zeng Wei, Wu Ming would have a chance to catch up with him if he used his lightness skill and quick movement skill. However, after Wu Ming put away those blue quality equipment, he simply disdained these junk equipment.
After hearing Wu Ming's words, Dachun and Ah Hao exchanged a glance, each convinced that Wu Ming was definitely planning to call it quits. They both knew that for a powerful and wealthy Wu Ming, these equipment wouldn't be a significant loss. So, without further ado, they quietly turned around and began to pack up their remaining belongings.
However, at this moment, no one noticed that the corners of Wu Ming's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.
It turned out that as early as when he discovered the ghostly afterimage and heard the voice of the thief who called himself Zeng Wei, Wu Ming quickly used his shadow clone skill and secretly gave the shadow clone the order to track and kill.
This shadow clone quietly hid its body and followed the thief closely. As soon as the thief stepped out of the safe zone and entered the wild map, the shadow clone would kill him without hesitation to avenge the equipment that was stolen today.
Wu Ming, who appeared calm on the surface, continued to watch Dachun and Ah Hao packing things as if nothing had happened.
As for the equipment and weapons dropped after the kill, Wu Ming simply looked down upon them! For someone as powerful as him, these things were simply insignificant.
Perhaps those equipment will quietly wait for the time to disappear, and then disappear between this world, or perhaps some lucky guy will pass by and pick it up, but that has nothing to do with Wu Ming.
An hour later, the shadow clone reappeared in Wu Ming's shadow like a ghost. Seeing the shadow clone reappear, Wu Ming immediately understood! This killing operation has been successfully completed!
After all, this was just a small episode, and both Dachun and Ah Hao were completely unaware of it.
"Boss, what should we do next? How about playing a few rounds of Landlord to kill time since there's still more than two hours until the next day?"
At this moment, Ah Hao, who had just finished sorting and distributing the items in the abandoned copy with Da Chun, ran up to Wu Ming excitedly, took out a deck of playing cards that he had made in the MapleStory world from his arms, and proposed with anticipation on his face.
"Have you two learned the new skills you gained from leveling up from the village's guardian adventurer?"
Wu Ming was speechless when he saw the poker cards in Ah Hao's hand. He didn't even glance at them. He just looked past Ah Hao and went straight to Da Chun who was standing beside him. He asked
"Really not! The random skills we get every time we reach level 4 aren't very practical, or they're just passive skills.
So, Boss, you must have noticed that when we were clearing that abandoned dungeon together, we hardly used many skills. Most of the time, we used the first class attack skills we obtained after changing classes! "
When Dachun heard Wu Ming ask this question, he responded quickly without thinking.
"And then there's that thing about having to go to the village to find the Guardian Adventurer every five levels and spend Maple Leaf Coins to learn new skills. You know, we don't have that many Maple Leaf Coins on hand!
That's why we haven't been able to learn new skills there. As for why I sometimes go to the Guardian Adventurer, it's just to replenish my used-up darts, but even then, the price is ridiculously high!
At this time, only Dachun's words were heard. Ah Hao on the side put away the playing cards in his hand, and then quickly interrupted and said.
"Before, you were indeed unable to learn those skills because you were short of money. But can the situation be the same now? Don't you two have Maple Leaf Coins in your backpacks now?
Now you can finally go find the guardian adventurer of your respective village and learn some new skills. Learn all the skills you need to learn!"
After listening to Dachun and Ah Hao's detailed explanations, Wu Ming finally understood why they hadn't been able to learn more skills. He then continued.
Just as Wu Ming finished speaking, Dachun and Ah Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a beacon had been lit. At that moment, their minds suddenly became clear, and they finally fully understood their boss's intentions.
It turned out that Wu Ming had given each of them 100 million Maple Leaf Coins with no intention of ever taking them back! The two of them exchanged a tacit glance, each clearly catching the irrepressible excitement in their eyes.
"Alright! The two of you should hurry off and head to your respective professional villages to find guardian adventurers to learn skills. Once you're done, return to the abandoned city and wait for me. As for me, I'll naturally have to learn some skills as well!"
Once everyone is gathered, we'll discuss who will be the first to change jobs. Oh, right! Ah Hao, your job village is in this abandoned city. Go find Dakru at the bar right now!
As Wu Ming spoke, he began to think about what skills he would learn later.
"no problem!"
Dachun and Ah Hao responded in unison, their voices loud and clear. Then, without hesitation, they turned and left, filled with joy and anticipation, eagerly heading off to find their respective professional villages.
"The taxi is right over there! Dachun, why are you going to the right end into the wilderness?"
Wu Ming looked at Dachun with a puzzled look on his face. After hearing his call, Dachun actually walked towards the outdoor teleportation array at the deserted construction site at the right end of the abandoned city without hesitation.
"Hey! Dachun!"
Seeing this, Wu Ming shouted loudly.
"Hey Dachun, what do you want to do? Why don't you take a taxi?"
Seeing that Dachun only responded to him but did not show any sign of stopping, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little strange and continued to ask.
"Um...well, actually, I don't really want to take a taxi!"
Dachun was a little embarrassed by Wu Ming's continuous questioning. He stopped, scratched his head, turned to look at Wu Ming, and explained hesitantly. He smiled sheepishly after finishing his words.
"You're such a weirdo! Everyone else is eager to get on the bus and get going, but you're wasting time walking through the wilderness instead of taking a perfectly good car!"
When Wu Ming heard this, he was speechless. A few black lines appeared on his forehead and he couldn't help but complain.
"Hehe, that's just how Dachun is, he's very free and easy! But then again, I can understand why he doesn't want to ride in a car. Maybe he's afraid of motion sickness."
At this time, Ah Hao came over and talked with a smile, and winked at Dachun.
"You're both fucking geniuses! One of you is so carefree that you even make your own playing cards, and the other is incredibly meticulous, yet you get car sick! I don't know what to do with you!"
After hearing what Ah Hao said, Wu Ming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He gave them a cold look and said.
"That's right! Dachun is the head of our dormitory! He has to be very careful and attentive, otherwise he'll be screwed every time he checks the dorm!"
Hearing Wu Ming's complaints, Ah Hao said proudly.
Despite his complaints, Wu Ming knew that the important thing was to get down to business. He ignored Ah Hao because the vocational village where Ah Hao needed to go to learn skills was exactly where he was in this abandoned city.
With a flash of his body, he used his quick movement skill and instantly arrived in front of Dachun. Without a word, Wu Ming reached out and grabbed Dachun's clothes, dragging him towards the taxi stand marked on the map.
Along the way, although Dachun grumbled with reluctance, he did not dare to break free from Wu Ming's hand, and could only follow him obediently to the taxi station.
"Hey! Boss actually knew that the guardian adventurer of the abandoned city was Darkru, and he actually did it in the bar!"
Seeing Wu Ming and Da Chun getting into the taxi, Ah Hao walked towards the bar, wondering in his heart.
Suddenly thinking of Wu Ming's ability to unleash the Flying Man's light-weight skills, Ah Hao walked to the door of Dakru's bar with doubts.
