Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

"I'm curious, what level did you reach the last time you were in the Land of Hunting Gods?" Xiaoyun suddenly laughed and asked.

"Me?" Lin Chen said calmly, "Level 80."

Xiaoyun was slightly stunned, muttering "Level 80?", then nodded as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked.

Seeing Xiaoyun didn't say anything, Lin Chen became interested.

"By the way, you NPCs should know when the Hunting God Land began to reincarnate, right? And why did it reincarnate?" Lin Chen asked in a low voice, "What was the highest level in the Hunting God Land at that time?"

Lin Chen waited for the other party to speak.

However, Xiaoyun obviously didn't want to continue this topic, but instead stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly a few times in front of Lin Chen.

Then she clapped her hands and said, "Alright, I've marked the locations of the two NPCs you're looking for on your map. If there's nothing else, let's say goodbye. Goodbye."

Xiaoyun crossed his legs again, took out some melon seeds from his pocket, and started eating them by himself, occasionally casting a scrutinizing glance at the players passing by.

Lin Chen sighed.

It seems that I was a little too hasty. Come to think of it, even Anna, who has activated the [Time Hourglass], doesn't dare to say these things casually. How can the NPC in front of me dare to reveal them casually?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen did not rush to leave. He opened his backpack and took a look.

He had already put some miscellaneous items into the [Auction House], and now there were more than thirty empty slots in his backpack.

"By the way, besides strengthening equipment, do you sell any other equipment here?" Lin Chen raised his head and asked, "I'm planning to buy some weapons from you."

Xiaoyun spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells, feeling obviously unhappy that Lin Chen did not leave, as if Lin Chen was a disaster star.

“We sell it, but it’s not cheap.”

"It's okay, I should have enough money."

"Well...Okay, okay, then tell me what weapons you're planning to buy. But let me make it clear, I don't have any high-quality level 40 weapons suitable for you. I only have some blue ones..."

"I bought a rusty iron sword." Lin Chen interrupted her and said.

The atmosphere suddenly began to become weird.

Lin Chen could clearly see the corner of the woman's eyebrow twitching.

She looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, as if trying to confirm whether this second-round player was having trouble with his brain.

"Are you really sick?" Xiaoyun said, "It's ok for you to come here to strengthen your rusty iron sword, but you still come here to buy more?"

"Well, is there?"

"...You!" Xiaoyun sighed helplessly: "Yes!"

"I want thirty." Lin Chen said.

"Fuck you!" Xiao Yun suddenly stood up, a hammer specially used for tempering appeared in his hand. "Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Seeing Xiaoyun so irritable, Lin Chen felt as if he was deliberately teasing her, but he didn't know how to explain to her, so he just stood there blankly without saying a word.

Sometimes, silence is the best solution.

Seeing that Lin Chen not only did not refute him, but stood there motionless, Xiaoyun was suddenly so angry that he laughed.

"I surrender..." She turned around and fiddled with her stall for a while, then put a large bundle of rusty iron swords on the table.

"Here, 30 of them. Take them and go."

"how much is it?"

"This is for you." Xiaoyun turned his head away and no longer looked at Lin Chen.

"Give it to me?" Lin Chen smiled. "This is the first time I've seen an NPC be so generous, even though the iron sword isn't very valuable."

Upon hearing this, veins bulged on Xiaoyun's forehead.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chen quickly put all the iron swords on the table into his backpack: "Thank you very much!"

Then, he looked at Xiaoyun meaningfully, and then walked away.

He hadn't taken three steps when Lin Chen turned around and glanced at Xiaoyun without noticing.

Unlike other NPCs, Xiaoyun didn't seem to have anything extra to say to Lin Chen. She was still eating melon seeds and mumbling something, probably greeting Lin Chen's family.

……

After a while, at the edge of an inner river in the Emerald Paradise.

This place is already part of the inner area of ​​the main city, and the number of players around is becoming extremely scarce. Lin Chen walked for several minutes and didn't even see a single player.

He followed the marks left by Xiaoyun on the map and moved along the edge of the river.

The river flowed, winding, its surface as calm as a giant mirror reflecting the strange sky of the Land of the Hunting God.

At this moment, a perfect breeze blew by, and ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface.

Lin Chen raised his head and took a look at the length of the river. It was like an endless ribbon running through the city. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves floated on the wide river. Everything seemed so comfortable.

Yes, it’s comfortable.

It seems like I haven't felt this kind of emotion in the Land of the Hunting God for a long time. No... when I think about it carefully, it seems that it is difficult for me to have this kind of emotion in the real world.

He was either working overtime or dealing with Zhao Yuting's changeable moods. He seamlessly switched between being a social slave and a bootlicker. Compared to his tiredness, the Land of the Hunting God was probably nothing.

"Hmm..." Lin Chen reached out and took off the mask on his face. He didn't care whether his name would be at the top of the ladder list. He just wanted to feel the wind blowing on his face.

Just like that, enjoying the breeze, Lin Chen walked along the river for a few minutes, and finally saw the "bridge" that Xiaoyun mentioned.

It was a huge arched bridge that spanned the two banks and was very eye-catching.

The bridge is made of solid stone and looks like it has weathered countless years of wind and frost. Lin Chen stepped onto this huge and wide bridge and immediately saw all kinds of NPCs on the bridge.

Lin Chen's attention was immediately drawn to a person leaning on the bridge railing not far away.

He was wearing a hood made of a ceramic jar. Compared to Lin Chen's [Shadow Escape Mask] which could only cover part of his face, this man's entire head was covered by the hood.

Seeing Lin Chen coming, the man suddenly let out a sharp shout.

"Ouch! Look who this is! Isn't this our great, beloved Chosen One?!"

He stood up straight, then trotted to Lin Chen's side, calling out loudly.

"Chosen One, I wish you success in everything you do, and may the gods fear you! By the way, do you have time to visit my shop?" The NPC patted his chest. "Although this is a small business, as long as your [Luck] is strong enough—in other words, if you're lucky—you can obtain all sorts of rare items and equipment from me, and even a large sum of money..."

At this point, he chuckled and said, "Chosen One, what do you say?"

Around, some other NPCs shook their heads helplessly.

They had experienced two reincarnations in the Land of the Hunting God and witnessed too many players being cheated by this pocket jar merchant and becoming bankrupt.

However, players who first see the Pocket Jar Merchant have no experience and will generally be fooled by him with the "First Sight Kill" skill.

Sure enough, when the NPCs watching saw Lin Chen really stop, many of them sighed slightly.

Well, another sucker.

……

"Are you a pocket jar merchant?" Lin Chen asked.

"Why, that's only natural!" The Pocket Jar Merchant tapped his head with his fingers, making a clanging sound. "You can tell at a glance."

Lin Chen smacked his lips.

It seems that no matter which main city they are in, as long as they are pocket jar merchants, their tempers are not much different.

In front of me was a man whose age could be guessed from his accent. According to the age of an Earthling, his voice was a bit cheesy and magnetic, and he sounded about 30 years old.

"In that case." Lin Chen suddenly lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Then give me a [earth jar] to test the water first."

"Okay, no problem! I'm honest here. Please wait a moment. By the way, you want an earthenware jar, right?" The pocket-sized jar merchant snapped his fingers. A faint light flashed, and a khaki ceramic jar appeared in his hand. "Here's an earthenware jar. I'm having a grand opening sale for our shop. Since you're the first customer I've met, I'm only accepting you..."

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the pocket jar merchant seemed to be choked suddenly. He stood there motionless, with his hand holding the clay jar hanging in the air.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked deliberately with a smile on his face.

"Wait a minute! Something's wrong... something's wrong! You... how did you..." The pocket jar merchant's voice began to turn serious: "How do you know about [earth jars]? I don't think I've yet to tell you about the quality of the jars here!"

"Hmm...if I say I guessed, would you believe me?"

Even though the other party didn't speak, Lin Chen could even guess the expression on his face inside the jar mask.

Lin Chen continued, "Well, let me guess again... For example, I can guess... In addition to the [earthen jar], you also have a [copper jar], a [silver jar], and a [gold crown], right?"

At this time, the pocket jar merchant suddenly took a step forward, rushed over and covered Lin Chen's mouth tightly.

"You...you are from the second round...?"

Now it was Lin Chen's turn to remain silent.

Because he was not wearing a mask and his mouth was covered by the other party, Lin Chen could only stare at the head of the pocket jar merchant.

The surroundings were briefly filled with a strange and awkward atmosphere. No one knew what the pocket-jar merchant was thinking. It was a full half minute before he released his hand that was covering Lin Chen's mouth.

Then he continued to hold out the earthenware jar in his hand and handed it over.

"Your Excellency... ahem, respected Chosen One, this is the Earthen Jar you requested. I'll give you nine copper coins."

"Thank you."

Lin Chen did not hesitate. After taking the earthen jar, he immediately activated his magic power. The next moment, the ochre-colored jar began to shake wildly, as if something inside was trying to get out.

The pocket-jar merchant, who was originally talkative, just stared at Lin Chen's hands without saying a word.

A moment later, with a crisp sound, the earthenware jar shattered into countless pieces.

After a faint light flashed in Lin Chen's hand, a prop appeared in his hand.

[Ding... You have obtained the item: "Low-level Life Potion" x1.]

If it were an ordinary player, he would probably curse at this time. After all, he spent 9 copper coins, but in the end he only got a bottle of low-level life potion. You know, this thing can be bought in the grocery store for only 3 copper coins.

The price has tripled in total!

What the hell is this "honesty and fairness" thing? This is just a blatant scam!

However, Lin Chen did not care. Instead, he shook his head and laughed. Then he stretched out his hand to the pocket jar merchant and continued.

"Give me another one."

The Pocket Jar Merchant scratched his head, but it looked like he was just scratching the hood on his head.

“Well… Boss, why don’t we just forget about it…” said the pocket jar merchant.

"What? I'm here to do business with you, why are you still not happy?" Lin Chen replied.

"No, that's not what I meant. I... Hi! I didn't know you were a second-round player!" The pocket jar merchant was clearly at a loss. "You know, I'm a small business here, and I'm different from other quest-based NPCs and functional NPCs. I don't have any quests for you, nor do I have the ability to help you forge or enhance your equipment. So, for a wanderer like me who wants to make some money in the Land of the Hunting God, I can only..."

"I know." Lin Chen shrugged.

"So... if you go out and publicize my little business... I..."

Lin Chen interrupted him: "I don't mean anything else, and I won't promote your little casino. The purpose of my coming here this time is really just to buy some jars from you."

"Huh?" The pocket jar merchant was a little confused. "No way, you, what are you after? You actually already know that this is a small casino, then you should also know that [nine out of ten gamblers lose], there can't be any good things in this jar of mine. Apart from the sweet treats I will proactively give to the players, the rest are all useless things, you..."

"Ugh……"

Lin Chen sighed: "Why do you care so much? Hurry up and give me another one. My backpack slot is almost full with only one item slot left. Don't waste my time."

The pocket jar merchant simply didn't know what to say.

This second-round player's "brain circuit" is quite novel. Knowing that the jar is a scam, he still insisted on coming to him to spend money to buy useless brothers, and even said that his backpack was almost full.

It looks like he opened it specifically to get some props to fill up his backpack.

The pocket-jar merchant was a little confused, but in the end he had no choice but to take out another khaki jar and hand it over.

This time, Lin Chen opened a new item.

[Item: "Messenger Bird" x1.]

A special prop for speaking on the world channel. Although it is not a rare thing, it is the first time that Lin Chen has obtained it in this life.

After putting it into the backpack, Lin Chen continued to reach out.

The pocket jar merchant was somewhat helpless: "Boss... No way, you're still coming."

"Come." Lin Chen said with a smile: "This time, give me a [Silver Jar]."
