Chapter 28: The Invisibility Ring Appears; Finally Seeing Her
After returning, I added the upgraded attribute points separately to strength 10 points, agility 3 points, and intelligence 3 points. At this time, I also ranked first in the level list at level 29, leaving Ba Shi Tian Xia in second place. Ba Shi Tian Xia, who was leveling up, heard the system prompt and couldn't help but be stunned, then said to his subordinates.
"Go all out to investigate this person."
"Yes, young master." Then a person disappeared in front of Ba Shi Tian Xia. Looking at the person leaving, Ba Shi Tian Xia revealed a sinister expression. "Hmph, no matter who you are, you can't stop my goal of unifying the 'Second World'."
And I'm now heading to the appraisal shop, ready to appraise the equipment dropped by Wolf King. The Wild Wolf King was quite generous, with a total of 4 items. He dropped a book, a sword, a ring and a pair of boots.
I entered the appraisal room, waking up the old man who was appraising items from his dream. Based on my discoveries over the past few days, I knew that NPCs in the game had high intelligence, so I didn't hesitate to throw the four items onto his desk. The old man initially wanted to hold me accountable for disturbing his beautiful dream, but as soon as he saw the items in front of him, he was stunned and exclaimed: "Youngster, you're the top-ranked player on the leaderboard? How could you go plundering without giving me a share?" I gave him a cold stare, knowing that NPCs had special abilities to see through players' hidden items.
"Cut to the chase and give me a quote for appraising this stuff."
The old man picked up one by one with his right hand and stroked them, while stretching out a finger on his left hand vertically.
"Ten gold coins?"
The old man's finger pointed straight up without moving.
"100 gold coins?"
His fingers remained still.
"I gritted my teeth and said in a low voice: '1,000 of them?'"
He suddenly stood up: "Kid, stop pretending, these few pieces of equipment are not worth 10,000 gold coins, don't think anyone will appraise them for you."
I couldn't believe my ears. "Old man, no way? Just these few pieces of equipment and you're asking for a 10,000 gold coin appraisal fee?"
"What a few pieces of equipment, you know what." After finishing, he picked up the ring and said: "Just this ring alone, I can collect 5,000 gold coins as appraisal fee from you. The others are all dark gold equipment, collecting 5,000 gold coins as appraisal fee is already cheap for you, don't be arrogant after getting a good deal."
After listening to the old man's words, I knew that these few pieces of equipment were definitely not ordinary goods. Especially that ring, I quickly took out 10,000 gold coins and handed them over to the old man. Fortunately, the Wolf King had dropped a lot of gold coins, otherwise it would have been impossible to appraise this equipment. The exchange function is still not available now.
The old man immediately began to appraise after taking the money, and indeed, money can make a ghost push a mill.
"Here, take it." After saying that, the old man lay down again and continued sleeping.
I quickly took over the equipment and put it in my bag, finding a quiet place with no one around to carefully examine the attributes of the identified equipment. It turned out to be three pieces of dark gold equipment and one piece of sacred artifact. It was the ring that the old man mentioned earlier, wow, I'm rich now. Hurry up and take out the ring to look at it.
Invisibility Ring: Sacred artifact defense +30, maximum magic value increased by 10%, attached skill: Invisibility for 3 minutes, requirement: level 25.
Haha, ultimate, it's really ultimate. With this ring, I've got an extra life. When I'm in stealth mode, I can refill my blood and magic. It's simply murderous, a must-have for BOSS battles. I suppressed the excitement in my heart and looked at the attributes of the other three equipment.
Long Heng Sword: Dark Gold Equipment Attack 210 Increase attack speed by 10%, 15% ignore opponent's defense, 10% increase in attack power. Required level: 25
Hurricane Boots: Dark Gold Equipment Defense 60 Increase movement speed by 10%, Reflect damage 5% Required level: 25
Job Change Certificate: With this certificate, you can change your job to Hidden Occupation - Scholar.
I actually have a career change certificate, now I can go see Zixue. I've been thinking about not having a gift for her so I didn't dare to find her. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore. Hurriedly taking off the equipment on my body, a burst of dazzling light suddenly flashed on me, and I quickly hid the special effects. I personally experienced the crime of being framed, but just because of one mind method, my grandfather was killed. I don't want a tragedy to repeat itself. At this time, I opened my properties.

Apart from my Stealth Ring, the top nine items on the list were all Dark Gold equipment. And to my surprise, my Dragon's Mark Sword and Gale Boots ranked second and third respectively. I quickly chose to hide my name. I didn't want others to know that I had so many treasures, or else I would become a target for robbery. But despite my quick actions, someone still saw it.
"What kind of person is this Long Ao Tian? First, he was far ahead in the rankings with a 7-level difference from the second place, and now he has obtained so many dark gold equipment, and even has a holy artifact." Wu Qing saw him unintentionally while leveling up.
Satisfied with his own attributes, he hesitated for a moment, opened the communicator that had been closed all along, input 'good baby', and pressed the call button. From the other side of the communicator came the voice of Chao Si Mu Xiang.
"Is it Brother Long?"
"Zi Xue, is me."
"It's really Long Ge, it's really Long Ge, Long Ge, where are you? Why haven't you contacted me for so long? Do you know how worried I am about you? When I tried to contact you, the system said your communicator was turned off. 555555555" Suddenly, a sobbing voice came from the other end of the communicator - it was Zi Xue.
"Zixue, has someone been bullying you? Tell me quickly, I'll help you teach him a lesson."
"It's all because you bullied me... 555555" Zi Xue said tearfully on the other end.
"Me? How would I bully you?" I said with a wronged tone.
"Hmph, since you left, you haven't contacted me at all, yet you say you didn't bully me."
"Alright, Zixue, be good, don't cry. Brother Long has something to tell you."
"Alright, go ahead." Zi Xue's crying had stopped. Women really can change quickly, huh?
"Would... would you like to be my girlfriend in the game?" I finally gathered up the courage to say after being separated from Zixue for a while.
"Ah... no... I don't want to!" Zi Xue's voice seemed to be filled with anger.
"Why?" After hearing this sentence, I had already started to lose heart, but the next sentence from Zixue brought my heart back to life.
"If you want to do it, then do it in reality." Zi Xue said with a sly smile.
"Brother Long, where are you? I'm going to find you." Zi Xue continued to say.
"I'm at the south gate of Qinglong City, come on over, I'll be waiting for you. When you arrive, there's something good that I want to give you."
"Alright, I'll be right there."
I turned off the communicator and thought to myself whether I should tell Zixue about my origins and let her decide if she wants to be my girlfriend. Just as I was thinking, a voice came from behind me.
"Brother Long, I'm here." As I spoke, I saw the person I had been thinking about day and night.
