Chapter 29: Exchange of Items, Searching for Xiao Rou

Zhou Han only smiled and did not intend to buy the clay pot.

After all, 10 gold coins each was very expensive in the early stages.

The odds were against it, anyway. If he bought it, he’d be at a disadvantage.

‘I might as well spend the coins on something useful.’

Just as he was about to leave, another system announcement sounded.

[Server Announcement: Player Ou Huang has drawn King-grade equipment—Sea King Helmet.]

[Server Announcement: Player Gou Tuo has obtained a Starlight-grade weapon…]

[Server Announcement: Player Jia Feiqiu has drawn a King-grade accessory…]

…

The consecutive announcements completely woke up the players present.

Be it Starlight or King, as long as one obtained such an item, they would definitely be ahead of most players in the early stages.

Moreover, their ability to survive in the Godfiend Continent would be even stronger.

Everyone went crazy. If others could drop top-grade equipment, so could they.

There were many players with such thoughts.

Everyone was spending gold coins on clay pots, making the pottery merchant grin from ear to ear.

“F*ck, why are these people all so lucky? If it weren’t for the real world, I would have suspected that they were scammers.”

“Buy another one and try one last time. If not, I’m out.”

“I don’t believe it today. I insist on getting top-grade equipment.”

“Ten, boss. I want ten in a row.”

“I quit. I’ll chop off my hands if I buy more. The odds are so low that I’m lucky I have any pants left.”

“I’m so unlucky today. I’ll try again tomorrow!”

Many players were impulsive and lost a lot of money. All of them wanted to cry but had no tears.

They could not compare to the lucky ones!

[You received 1 gold coin.]

[You received 5 gold coins.]

[You received 3 gold coins.]

After hearing the system’s announcement, Zhou Han couldn’t help but buy four clay pots to see if a miracle would happen.

The result was obvious. A complete loss.

Hopefully, the last one was good!

[You have obtained Overlord Body Potion.]

“Hmm?”

“Overlord Body Potion?”

Zhou Han’s eyes lit up. It sounded good.

[Overlord Body Potion]

[Grade: Ordinary]

[Effect: After using it, you will be in the Overlord Body state for 30 seconds.]

[Description: In the Overlord Body state, you cannot be affected by the enemy’s control skills.]

He took a look. It was just ordinary quality and could be considered a consolation prize!

After enhancing it twice, the effects were out. There were multiple damage reduction characteristics.

[Overlord Body Potion +2]

[Grade: Ordinary]

[Effect: After using it, you will be in the Overlord Body state for two minutes. The damage you suffer will be reduced by 50%.]

[Description: In the Overlord Body state, you cannot be affected by the enemy’s control skills.]

“Right, I can use the Heart Protecting Lotus to exchange for others’ items!”

Zhou Han suddenly thought of this. Perhaps he could exchange it for what he needed.

After all, there was no pot function yesterday, so everyone was penniless.

Things were different now. Many players had obtained high-quality items.

Thinking of this, Zhou Han immediately took action.

Zhou Han directly enhanced the remaining three Heart Protecting Lotuses three times.

After consuming it, it would increase 1,500 HP. In the early stages, it was definitely a life-saving divine artifact.

Zhou Han planned to test the waters first and sent a message on the public chat.

“A life-saving divine artifact, Heart Protecting Lotus. If anyone has anything good, you can trade with me!”

After sending the message, the players in the chat area were envious.

The HP increase effect caused a huge sensation.

“It’s awesome, increasing 1,500 HP. As expected of Big Boss Zhou Han, it’s a top-grade item.”

“If I consume this Heart Protecting Lotus, I’ll definitely soar in the early stages. Killing monsters will be easy.”

“What a pity. I didn’t get anything good. This thing is destined not to be mine.”

“I’ll open the clay pot now. I hope I can make it in time.”

…

Soon, he received many private messages.

After choosing, there were two items that were more useful.

Zhou Han directly exchanged in the trading area.

They were the [Intermediate Experience Card] and [Guard Card].

Zhou Han did not exchange the remaining Heart Protecting Lotus for the time being.

Anyway, the transaction information was still hanging. He would go up and take a look later. Perhaps there would be something good.

[Intermediate Experience Card +4]

[Grade: Silver]

[Effect: After using it, you can obtain 7 times the EXP within 5 hours. (Including killing monsters, completing missions, and other EXP.)]

[Description: A one-time consumable that will disappear automatically after use. When in a team, the team members will share the experience buff.]

Seven times the experience was very impressive.

It was just a pity that Han Qinxue and her sister were not in the team and had missed a great opportunity.

[Guard Card +4]

[Grade: Silver]

[Effect: After use, you can summon a guard to protect the summoner for 3 hours.]

[Description: The summoned guard’s combat power is twice that of the summoner. A one-time consumable that will disappear automatically after use.]

The upgraded Guard Card was also very effective.

If he summoned it, the guard that came out would be twice as strong as him.

It could be said to be very strong. His life was greatly assured with it.

After all the preparations were done, Zhou Han headed to a new area.

Opening the map, Zhou Han searched for his destination—the Valley of the Undead.

The wild monsters there were all Level 10 to Level 40, which suited Zhou Han’s current strength.

The entrance to the Valley of the Undead was very deserted. After all, Zhou Han was the only one in this area who had reached Level 10.

As he approached, he saw only an old man nearby, pacing back and forth anxiously.

After seeing Zhou Han, his eyes were filled with joy as he hurriedly said, “Lad, are you heading for the Valley of the Dead?”

“Yes, sir. What can I do for you?”

Zhou Han had some guesses. It should be the start of a mission.

Perhaps it was because he was the first to reach Level 10!

No one was snatching this mission from him.

“I have a favor to ask of you. Please get my granddaughter back.”

“Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?”

“My granddaughter, Xiao Rou, entered the Valley of the Undead yesterday to train, but she hasn’t returned yet. She must be in danger. Ah, the little girl is making me worry. I’m so anxious.”

[A new mission has appeared: Find Xiao Rou. Do you accept?]

“Accepted!”

Usually, the rewards for missions were a lot of experience points. It was much easier than simply killing monsters to level up. Zhou Han had no reason to refuse.

[Find Xiao Rou]

[Description: Save Xiao Rou and bring her to Grandpa.]

[Status: Incomplete]

[Location: Netherworld Swamp (Coordinates: …)]

“Old sir, don’t worry. Leave this matter to me.”

Zhou Han patted his chest and promised.

“Thank you very much. The Valley of the Dead is not simple. You have to be careful!”

Zhou Han nodded and walked into the entrance.
