The moment he saw the skill book, a hint of worry arose in Chu Tian's heart.
[Skill Book: Ferocious Bite]
Class Restriction: Druid
Usage Level: Level 5
Attributes: Finishing move, uses accumulated energy stars to deal massive damage to enemies. 1 star usable, deals 100%-200% physical damage. Each additional star increases damage by 10%-50%. (Higher proficiency, higher damage)
Usage Method: Uses mouth attack animation to trigger skill release.
Seeing the usage method, Chu Tian almost threw the book away.
His worries had come true. In Tiandao, other than the initial skills, all other skills require special actions or incantations to trigger attacks.
Simultaneously, proficiency and perfection of the actions are needed to increase the attack limit.
But using his mouth… that was a bit…
The background of the Tiandao world is after planet collisions, where monsters are corrupted into zombies. Each monster is covered in pus, emitting a foul odor.
One could imagine the scene of biting those disgusting monsters with his mouth, and he cursed the old man in his heart again.
If it weren't for this being the only direct damage finishing move for a Cat Druid, he would have really found a stinking ditch to throw the book into.
He saw that his level had reached 5 due to the high experience gained from killing the boss, meeting the usage requirement.
Although he was full of reluctance, he gritted his teeth and learned the skill book. Whether he would use it or not, he would consider later!
"Ding… Your friend 'Integrity First 007' has sent a video call request, accept?"
"Accept!"
A light screen appeared before Chu Tian, showing a familiar face, a lewd bald fat man.
"God, you said 100 gold? Not 100 copper?"
As soon as the video call connected, the other party questioned him.
Chu Tian didn't care. On the opening day of the server, one hundred gold coins was indeed outrageous.
He hadn't intended to sell all his gold coins, but he needed to purchase a gaming pod, which was quite expensive.
For his own safety, he had to buy it, so he had no choice but to sell all his gold coins, and he wasn't sure if it would be enough.
Only when he was safe could he transfer money with peace of mind. Money should be spent where it matters most.
As for in-game, he wouldn't be spending much for now.
"If it were 100 copper coins, I would directly tell you 1 silver coin, wouldn't I?"
Upon hearing Chu Tian's answer, the other party's eyes lit up.
"God, if it's convenient, can you come to Senjin Town? I still want to confirm!"
Thinking that he was returning to town anyway, he agreed. They arranged a meeting location and ended the video call.
Chu Tian returned to the town and, first thing, hid his character name display. Then, he transformed into human form and went to the quest distribution hall.
After completing the four quests, he now had 5 levels and 41% experience.
Then he abandoned the remaining 16 quests, as he no longer wanted to do them.
Next, he was going to complete the transformation quest for the Owlkin form, after which he could implement his plan to level up by exploiting terrain bugs.
The central street of the town was bustling with people, a cacophony of voices, and various stalls selling goods.
Chu Tian took a look and found that all of them were low-level white gear, and some potions, all trash.
However, there were a few people selling enhancement stones. He spent three silver coins and bought all nineteen enhancement stones from the stalls.
At this early stage, it was estimated that only he would make such a large purchase, spending three silver coins without hesitation.
He walked quickly out of the street, and when he reached the end of the street.
"Various sundries, take a look, selling for money!" a familiar voice rang out.
Chu Tian looked over and saw a warrior squatting on the ground, casually scanning the passersby, especially beautiful women, whom he would often stare at a bit longer.
Seeing him, Chu Tian's eyes instantly turned red.
The character name 'Sword Pointing to the Heavens' flashed in his mind.
One of his companions in the game in his previous life.
After he was killed and sent back to the novice village for the first time, these companions stayed with him in the mountain沟 for over three months.
Later, because of him, these people were constantly hunted by Huang Xueyi. Many companions switched to life-player professions, allowing them to stay in the city and not come out.
In the end, only 'Sword Pointing to the Heavens' stayed by his side, and even helping him escape the current city.
Otherwise, as a person with crippled legs, he would never have been able to do it.
Chu Tian really wanted to step forward and acknowledge him, but thinking that he still had to take revenge, he would inevitably confront Huang Xueyi.
Those around him would definitely not have an easy time. He thought it was best not to.
Everything was up to fate, the rise and fall of fate. He hoped that in this life, they would not be implicated because of him again.
Chu Tian walked through streets and entered a low-rise tavern, where the furnishings were somewhat messy and the lights were dim.
In the counter at the entrance sat a thin old man, flipping through a yellowed book.
Rows of tables and chairs were arranged in the hall. Further inside was a corridor, with private rooms partitioned on both sides.
This was a guaranteed safe zone set by the system. For a certain amount of gold, it could be rented, and once inside, no one could hear the conversation.
Not many players came here, unless they had something to discuss. Normally, players wouldn't waste time here.
He arrived outside the private room he had arranged with 'Integrity First 007'. Before he could knock, the bald fat man came out.
The fat man saw him and said with a fawning smile, "God, hello, hello, please come in and sit."
Upon entering, Chu Tian got straight to the point and initiated a trade request, entering the number 100 in the gold coin section.
After waiting a few seconds, he closed the trade window. "How is it, can you handle it?"
The fat man was silent for a few seconds. "Can you pay first with cash, or trade in person?"
Chu Tian shook his head. "Cash first, then gold. We can do small, multiple transactions!"
He naturally would not meet anyone for a trade. Firstly, he didn't want to waste time, and secondly, for safety. The lessons from his previous life were still vivid.
Seeing that he rejected his proposal, the fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, send me your receiving account!"
After Chu Tian sent his account, he was actually quite excited. Once the entire transaction was completed, he would have 600,000 yuan.
For him, this was a considerable sum.
"Ding… Detected that the amount '600,000' yuan has been deposited into the player's real-life account."
Upon hearing the prompt, Chu Tian looked at the fat man in surprise. "Aren't you afraid I'll run off now?"
Integrity First 007 smiled and replied, "God, I believe you are not an ordinary person. To be able to solo a boss in such a short time after the server opened, and to get so much gold, we will definitely have a lot more cooperation in the future. So this time, consider it my investment of trust."
He paused and continued, "Of course, I also admit that the recording system in this private room has always been active. If you run off, I will disseminate it. Of course, if you don't care about your reputation, then it's nothing!"
Chu Tian knew the functions of such private rooms. He smiled and initiated the trade, sending 100 gold to the other party.
"Since you said this is an investment of trust, I'll give you a piece of news. Don't wait for the gold price to rise, sell it quickly. Believe it or not." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
The fat man was left in the private room, initially stunned. He had indeed planned to hoard gold and sell it when the price rose. But upon hearing Chu Tian's suggestion, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
After consideration, he took out his communicator and made several consecutive calls.
Ignoring the fat man's decision, Chu Tian was ecstatic. Humming a tune, he walked out of the tavern. He checked the time; it was already six in the morning. In two hours, Tiandao would close for maintenance.
