In the previous two system rewards, 3000 gold coins were awarded. After using the Doubling Pill, his gold coins instantly doubled to 6000!

Now he was definitely the wealthiest person in the game, so filthy rich.

Why not use the last Doubling Pill on his level or continue to upgrade his skills? First, he was short of money, and right now, the value of gold coins was very high, at least several times when converted into dragon dollars, which would be equivalent to a year’s earning by collecting wastes. Second, he was now at level 3 and was already ahead of many players. Besides, levels could not be used as food. The skills should be strong enough after upgrading to the Divine Level. After three years of hardships, of course he valued money much more, so he chose to double the gold coins.

Jiang Ming got rid of the female players who thought of him as a rich playboy and glanced at the dense crowd in the monster area. He shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​fighting monsters, then went around in a circle and began to wander around the Novice Village.

According to the game guide, players can receive normal tasks in the Novice Village, and with good luck, one can even receive hidden tasks. That was why he turned back to the village to receive the tasks. After receiving tasks, he would then go to fight monsters. Doing so, he would be able to simultaneously complete tasks and fight monsters, which will save a lot of time.

First, he went to the pharmacy shop. After walking into the pharmacy, he found that it was empty, with not a single player present.

He thought about it for a while and understood. Since the game just started the testing phase, the players’ inventories contained only 10 bronze coins given by the system. At most, these could buy the Steamed Bun with the weakest HP regeneration. They would not be able to afford any medicines, so no one patronized the pharmacy.

Although no one patronized the pharmacy, the shop owner seemed very busy. Standing behind the counter, he muttered to a medicine cauldron, “Sigh, the Yellow Whisker Grass has run out again. Now there are suddenly so many monsters outside. How can I go out to pick up herbs with my old body?”

“Sir, do you need help?”

Hearing the shop owner’s words, as a veteran in games, Jiang Ming’s eyes brightened. He walked forward and said respectfully to the pharmacy owner.

The pharmacy owner was also very excited when he heard the voice behind him, and he turned his head and said to Jiang Ming, “Warrior, can you go to the Nanling Mountain and help me collect 10 Yellow Whisker Grasses?”

Ding~ The system notification: Would you like to accept the ‘Pharmacy owner’s request’ task?

“Yes.”

After receiving the task, the pharmacy owner smiled and said to Jiang Ming, “Warrior, I think you haven’t learnt how to pick up herbs. Since you’re willing to help, I will teach you this technique.”

Ding~ System notification: Congratulations on learning the ‘Basic Collection Technique’.

After learning the collection technique, Jiang Ming went to other shops and received three more tasks.

They are: ‘Butcher’s request’, ‘Blacksmith’s request’ and ‘Tailor shop owner’s request’.

And he also learned the ‘segmentation technique’, ‘skinning technique’ and ‘mining technique’.

In order to speed up the completion of the tasks, he spent 1 gold and 4 silvers to purchase 10 sets of small healing potions worth 10 silvers per set and a set of wood equipment.

The currency ratio in “Divine Land” was: 1 gold = 100 silver = 10,000 bronze, and each set of medicines contained 20 bottles.

The equipment was divided into twelve ranks, namely: wood equipment, iron equipment, bronze equipment, silver equipment, gold equipment, dark gold equipment, spiritual equipment, immortal equipment, divine equipment, divine emperor equipment, divine vernerate equipment and saint equipment.

Mahogany Wood Sword: Attack +1

Cotton clothes: Defense +1

Cotton pants: Defense +1

Straw shoes: Movement speed +0.01

Although the attributes of these four pieces of equipment were rubbish, the prices were very high. Each piece required 1 silver coin. As for other equipment with higher attributes, his level was too low to use them at all, so he could only buy the ones that could be used. Although the attributes were poor, it was better than nothing.

After he was fully armed, Jiang Ming did not immediately leave the Novice Village, but walked towards the warehouse.

He still had nearly 6,000 gold coins with him. In case he got killed outside, 10% of the gold coins will drop. Now the game had just started, and the value of the gold coins was very high. 10% meant 600 gold coins, which would be equivalent to thousands of dragon dollars, or one or two months of his income. To lose them just like that, he would probably die out of regret.

Arriving at the warehouse, he first activated it and then deposited all the gold coins in his inventory. After that, he walked out of Novice Village.
