[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Earth Bear, a level above their own! Experience +350]

……

After learning the Great Fireball skill, Jiang Yan's monster-hunting efficiency increased significantly!

He used to have to cast at least three lightning spells to fight the earth bear!

Now, with just two lightning spells and a large fireball during the cooldown period, the earth bear can be killed, increasing efficiency by one-third!

-1687!

-144!

-1687!

Jiang Yan hunted earth bears like crazy, and his experience points increased rapidly. It was just a pity that since he got a skill book, his drop rate seemed to have dropped to rock bottom. He didn't even get a single piece of basic equipment.

He still allocated his four free attribute points to Spirit!

After closing the character panel, Jiang Yan immediately returned to the starting village.

On the way back, Jiang Yan killed a few more earth bears and tigers. When he arrived at the Wild Boar Forest, he found it teeming with people, with groups of solo players wandering around everywhere. As soon as the wild boars spawned, they would be instantly targeted by countless players.

Jiang Yan avoided them at a distance, and after leaving the Wild Boar Forest, he finally made it back to the beginner village.

It took him nearly two hours to get back!

The agony of navigating the map was excruciating!

This is just the starting village. According to the official data of "Peak", the map outside the starting village is much larger and wider. Running around the map at that time will be a real ordeal!

Upon entering the beginner village, Jiang Yan first went to the pharmacy and replenished his supplies with a large amount of red potions, high-grade blue potions, and one hundred bottles of red magic potions, spending a total of nearly two gold coins!

"Boss!" Jiang Yan, having bought the medicine and ready to recoup some of his losses, took out a purplish-red flower from his backpack and asked, "Do you buy herbs here?"

"Crimson flowers?" The pharmacy owner's eyes widened. "We buy them! Of course we buy them! Ten copper coins a plant, unlimited quantities!"

"Goodbye." Jiang Yan turned and left.

That old man is a real scoundrel! I even sold him a tiger skin to help him woo the tailor shop owner next door, and now this guy wants to take advantage of me!

This purplish-red flower is not only the main ingredient of Red Magic Water, but also the main ingredient of high-grade Red Magic Water. Its value is definitely not something that can be bought with ten copper coins!

"Jiang Taigong, Jiang Taigong, I misspoke. Twenty copper coins, twenty copper coins per plant!!" the pharmacy owner hurriedly called out from behind.

Twenty copper coins?

This is like trying to fob off a beggar!

Jiang Yan ignored him and left the pharmacy, heading straight to a nearby blacksmith shop.

After queuing for a while, Jiang Yan was able to enter smoothly.

"It's you!" The blacksmith's eyes lit up when he saw him. "You didn't strike a divine stone again, did you?"

"The boss has a good eye for people!" Jiang Yan said with a smile, taking out the [Critical Strike Stone].

The moment the red, hexagonal stone appeared, it attracted all the attention of the blacksmith shop owner!

"What a beautiful divine stone!" He eagerly took the [Critical Strike Stone] and rubbed its textured surface as if caressing a lover.

"Boss, please still imprint it on the staff for me." Jiang Yan took off the bronze staff.

But the blacksmith shook his head: "Theoretically, a piece of equipment can only be inlaid with one divine stone, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you have the legendary reinforced scroll," the blacksmith said.

"Reinforced reel?"

This is information that was not disclosed by beta testers, but it's also possible that even beta testers didn't know about the existence of the enhanced scroll!

Jiang Yan hurriedly inquired about information regarding this type of reel.

"The Reinforcement Scroll is a miraculous item that interdimensional merchants acquired at great expense from a bizarre otherworld!" the blacksmith shopkeeper said. "It's said that this scroll can not only reinforce equipment, giving it a second slot, but it can even enhance one's own skills!"

Jiang Yan's pupils contracted.

According to official information from "Peak", the skill level cap for all classes in the game is lv3. Once you reach lv3, you will no longer gain skill experience, and you will not be able to reach lv4!

But if the blacksmith's words are true, then this enhancement scroll can help players break through the skill level cap!

"Boss, where can I buy reinforced reels?" Jiang Yan asked in a low voice, suppressing his excitement.

"Naturally, it's the interdimensional merchant. However, interdimensional merchants are unpredictable, and finding them is as difficult as climbing to the sky." The blacksmith shook his head with a sigh, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "I heard that the Lucky Cat also has enhancement scrolls."

"A lucky cat?" Jiang Yan was taken aback. "Is it the BOSS?"

The blacksmith said no more: "Alright, alright, that's all I can say, Jiang Taigong. If you want to have the [Critical Strike Stone] inlaid, you'll need to provide another piece of bronze equipment."

Jiang Yan retrieved his bronze staff and decisively removed his tiger cloak.

[Tiger Cloak] (Bronze): Agility +7, Wearing Requirements: None!

The blacksmith took the tiger-patterned cloak, looked Jiang Yan up and down, and then smiled, "Cheng Hui, five gold coins!"

"..." Jiang Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had just spent 2 gold coins at the pharmacy, and now he only had 5 gold, 94 silver, and 13 copper left in his backpack. The blacksmith shop owner was incredibly powerful; he could see through his balance at a glance!

"You win!!" Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and paid the bill.

The blacksmith then took the [Critical Strike Stone] and the tiger cloak into the backyard, and soon after, the sound of ping-pong balls came from there.

After a while, the blacksmith shop owner came out with a beaming smile: "Mission accomplished, here you go!"

Jiang Yan quickly took the tiger cloak.

[Tiger Cloak] (Bronze): A cloak inlaid with [Critical Strike Stone], Agility +7, Critical Strike +1, Wearing Requirements: None!

After reviewing the new attributes of the Tiger Cloak, Jiang Yan felt a bit of a headache.

Critical Hit +1?

How much is this 1?

10%?

1%?

It can't be 0.1%, can it?

Jiang Yan asked the blacksmith shop owner, but he obviously didn't know either, and only told Jiang Yan to figure it out himself.
