Renting a Room, Gaming Pod

As soon as Jiang Yan and his group emerged from the instance, they were immediately surrounded by beautiful women!

"Boss, is this Jiang Ziya?"

"As expected of the legendary hidden class, it's incredibly powerful!"

"Yeah, yeah, in the same amount of time, we couldn't even beat Nightmare difficulty, but you guys managed to beat Hell difficulty. The difference is just too big!"

Amidst the bustling crowd, a cold gaze stubbornly looked elsewhere.

But Qingyanwu doesn't seem to intend to let her go.

"Vice President Lan Yan, why don't you come over and say hello to Jiang Taigong?" Qing Yanwu said with a smile. "He'll be taking us down Nightmare difficulty later. Although the first kill only gives one attribute point, every little bit helps. Vice President Lan Yan won't look down on us, will he?"

His male confidant's face paled slightly as he said, "You guys go ahead, I have other things to do."

As he was saying that, his male confidant suddenly went offline!

"Qingyan, what a mouth of yours!" The femme fatale glared at her reproachfully, then said to the others, "Color, Crimson, Pale, and Purple, the four of you will go down Nightmare difficulty with Jiang Taigong. Qingyan, you can all leave now."

"Yes, boss!" The two beauties added Jiang Yan as a friend before they left.

Qingyanwu also said goodbye: "Let's level up together when we have time in the future."

"Okay, bye-bye." Jiang Yan said goodbye to the others and then teamed up with Yan Se, Chi Yan, Cang Yan, and Zi Yan to enter Nightmare difficulty.

The four members of the Color group have very similar professions: the vice president Color is a shield warrior, Crimson is a fire mage, Azure is a crossbowman (a rare profession), and Purple is a healing priest.

With a tank, a healer, and a damage dealer, plus Jiang Yan's terrifying magic damage, the five-person team easily cleared the Nightmare difficulty dungeon in just one and a half hours!

[Ding! Congratulations to the "Peerless Beauty's Drunkenness" team for achieving the first kill in the Orc Invasion dungeon "Nightmare" difficulty, in 1 hour, 29 minutes, and 44 seconds! Team leader Yan Se, team members Jiang Taigong, Chi Yan, Cang Yan, and Zi Yan, reputation +100, free attribute points +1] *3

As the system announcement rang out, Jiang Yan added his attribute points to his mental stat, then looked helplessly at the fallen orc leader's corpse.

Perhaps because they had just defeated a gold-level boss, this silver-level orc leader was very stingy, only dropping one piece of silver warrior-type equipment and a mere six gold coins.

He was hoping this boss would drop an orc set piece so he could collect three and get a stat boost!

Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow... The Hell difficulty of the dungeon refreshes every 24 hours, so if I want to enter Hell difficulty again, I'll have to wait until tomorrow!

"Jiang Taigong, let's add each other as friends." Yanse was from Sichuan Province, with an outgoing and friendly personality. In the hour and a half that he spent, he got along quite well with Jiang Yan.

Seeing this, the other three also came up and asked for a friend spot.

Jiang Yan didn't put on airs. After passing through each stage, he took the teleportation array back to Qinglong City.

Then, use the teleportation array in Qinglong City to return to the starting village (142857), find the blacksmith, and ask him to help you embed the [Critical Strike Stone]!

The blacksmith shop owner, seeing Jiang Yan, looked utterly incredulous: "You kid... have you never left the starting village?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Yan shrugged, not admitting anything.

Although the blacksmith was puzzled, he still helped him inlay the [Critical Strike Stone] onto the [Wind Wolf Ring] (silver) at the old price!

"Boss, your craftsmanship is superb! I'll definitely come back to you next time!" After saying goodbye to the blacksmith shop owner, Jiang Yan arrived in Fuxi City.

It was already a new day, and another email arrived from Bafanglaicai containing 20,000 gold coins.

To date, half of the 200,000 gold coins owed to [Red Beauty] have been paid back!

But adding that gold equipment from the Hell Dungeon, it adds up to 150,000 gold coins!

At the current market price, one gold coin is worth 45 yuan in cash, which translates to 6.75 million yuan!

At the same time, Jiang Yan received several emails. Upon opening them, he discovered that all the equipment he had mailed to the auction house had been sold, totaling over 2500 gold coins. The tiger cloak, in particular, had sold for a rather high price!

Jiang Yan left Fuxi City and headed towards the Monkey Forest.

He plans to continue his relentless pursuit of those macaques and develop even higher-quality monkey wine!

But halfway there, Jiang Yan felt unwell all over.

He quickly exited the game.

After removing his helmet, Jiang Yan felt a sudden pang of fear, as if he were about to die.

The night was dark, and only the green lights of Zhao Shanshan, Lei Hu, and Sun Cairen's helmets flashed in the dormitory.

Jiang Yan took deep breaths repeatedly, and it took him a while to suppress the palpitations in his heart.

He's been playing games all day these past few days. Although Zhao Shanshan and the other two remind him to eat on time, he can't get rid of his fatigue by eating.

"Looks like it's time to buy a gaming pod."

There are two types of login devices for "Peak": one is a helmet, and the other is a game pod.

Compared to gaming helmets, the gaming pod contains a specially formulated nutrient solution that can moisturize your body and relieve fatigue while you play games!

"If I want to buy a gaming pod, I'll have to rent my own place off-campus."

The dormitory is too small to fit the gaming pod.

Thinking this, Jiang Yan, who was already exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next day, my three sons had already gone to class. There were a few meat buns on the table, which were a little cold.

After swallowing it whole, Jiang Yan immediately logged into the game and contacted the femme fatale, exchanging one-fifth of the 150,000 gold coins for cash!

She was more than happy to be a femme fatale, so after asking for his account details, she immediately transferred 1.5 million in cash to him at a ratio of 50:1!

"That's generous!" Jiang Yan logged off, checked his bank card balance, and immediately left the academy, renting a 25th-floor apartment in a nearby upscale residential complex.

The apartment is about 80 square meters, not big, but it has a balcony with good lighting and view, and the study is also spacious enough to fit a game pod.

After signing the contract with the intermediary, Jiang Yan logged into the "Peak" official website and purchased a game pod and fifty nutrient solutions.

The price of the gaming pod is the same nationwide: 98,000!

The nutrient solution costs 500 yuan per tube, and one tube is consumed every three days on average.

Over the course of a year, approximately 120 nutrient solutions are needed, which costs 60,000 yuan.

Jiang Yan exchanged 1.5 million yuan in cash, enough to last him for twenty years!

After placing the order, Jiang Yan told Zhao Shanshan and the other two about his rented apartment.

When the three adopted sons learned of this, they were somewhat surprised, but they all expressed their understanding.

The efficiency of "Peak" is very high. Jiang Yan placed the order in the morning, and a deliveryman delivered it to his door at noon and helped install it in his study.

Looking at the silver-white game pod, which exudes a futuristic technological feel, Jiang Yan excitedly followed the instructions and took out a nutrient solution, placing it at the bottom of the game pod.

He then took off his shirt and lay down in the gaming pod.

Beep~~

Jiang Yan pressed the start button, the hatch of the game pod slowly closed, and Jiang Yan's consciousness gradually blurred.

at the same time.

Outside Fuxi City.

Jiang Ziya is online!

"As expected of a device costing 98,000, it's definitely different from a gaming headset!"

Jiang Yan looked around at the flowers and plants in the game and found that the virtuality seemed to have increased a bit. If there were no character panel or inventory, this place would be like another real world!

After a brief moment of amazement, Jiang Yan wasted no more time and immediately headed to the macaque forest to continue his frenzied battle with the monkeys there!
