23: Chapter Twenty-Three: Mission Completed

"Ding, killed [Little White Rabbit], gained 250 EXP."

"Ding, killed [Little White Rabbit], gained 250 EXP."

The drop rate for the cards was not very high. After killing several bunnies in a row, aside from a few gold coins, there was no other loot.

He didn't mind. After all, he was the only person in the entire wild area; he could grind monsters at his leisure.

His figure turned into a black shadow once again, charging into the rabbit pack. In less than half a minute, another Little White Rabbit lay flat.

"Clatter!"

With a crisp sound, along with some gold coins, a card-like item dropped. Picking it up to take a look, it was exactly the mission item.

He quickly put it into his backpack and continued to the next one. Not far away, a bunny was looking at him with a disdainful gaze.

"Very good, you're the one."

He instantly arrived in front of it, the ghost flame shadow dagger in his hand flashing with a cold light as it slashed directly across its short legs.

His violent attacks and agile footwork left it with no temper; it couldn't even land a single effective attack.

"Ah!" The Little White Rabbit held its slashed leg and screamed in despair: "Mommy! My long legs... My invincible long legs that could run a hundred meters in 2.57 seconds!"

Lin Feng sheathed his blade and stood still, his face indifferent: "Tch, now you know how tough I am..."

"Squeak!" With a wail, the little bunny was hacked to death, unable to bear the humiliation, and it also dropped a mission card.

"Hand of God" was released.

[Skill 'Hand of God' triggered successfully!]

[A Rabbit Leg Hair]

Quality: None

Usage: Useless

Damn it! It's completely useless trash. Keeping it would just take up space in the backpack, so he casually discarded the rabbit hair.

Basically, he had to use Hand of God every time he killed a monster. However, while the EXP from the Little White Rabbit here was decent, the loot was pitifully small. Over 90% of the time, he would dig out a piece of rabbit hair, and the rest was just 1 gold coin. It was stingy to the extreme...

After killing for a full half-hour and taking down nearly a hundred Little White Rabbits, he was only one mission card away from completing the quest.

"Squeak!" Another Little White Rabbit was slain. Luck was on his side; it dropped a card, and the mission was complete...

He picked up the loot, threw it into his bag, and pulled out a Return Scroll to turn in the quest...

Back in the city, he found Little Black and handed in the 10 mission cards.

Little Black hugged his thigh and said happily: "Wow! Big Brother, you're too fast! Come on! This is your reward..."

"Ding~!" System prompt: Congratulations, you have completed the D-rank side quest [Little Black's Request], gained 10,000 EXP, and +50 gold coins.

Not bad, the reward was in hand. He continued to speak with Little Black to see if there were any new quests, but he found that this guy wouldn't even acknowledge him anymore and ran back into the house on his own. It seemed he was likely going to summon... his divine pet.

"Good kid, using me and then tossing me aside, huh? At least I'm the benefactor who helped you collect the cards!"

Feeling secretly wounded, he opened his backpack and looked at the small pile of gold coins inside, his eyes brightening. There were 12,252 in total, most of which were system rewards and loot obtained from killing bosses.

It was still a few days before the official launch of real-world currency to gold coin exchange, but private trading was already incredibly hot.

The current private exchange rate had dropped to 1:85; 1 gold coin could be exchanged for 85 Universe Coins. However, the price changed daily, and the further it went, the harder it would crash.

"Opportunity knocks; if I don't sell now, I'll lose everything later!"

He immediately opened the in-game Trading House and listed all 10,000 gold coins at a unit price of 84 Universe Coins.

Gold coins in this early stage were never hard to sell.

Not even a few seconds after listing it— "Ding, the item you listed on the Trading House has been purchased by a player. The transaction price is 840,000 Universe Coins. After deducting a 42,000 service fee, the remaining 798,000 Universe Coins have been transferred to your linked bank account."

At this moment, Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He knew gold coins sold well, but he really didn't expect them to sell this fast. This must have been instantly snapped up by some tycoon...

"I can't understand the world of the rich!" Lin Feng sighed. Before entering the game, he was just a nobody acting as a beast of burden every day.

In less than a day, his savings had already exceeded one million. This was something he never dared to dream of before.

There were still quite a few pieces of equipment in his backpack, most of which were ordinary white-grade items (dropped from killing the Sakura Squad).

The only two valuable pieces of equipment were the weapon he had swapped out and a weapon worn by mages called the weapon.

In the early stages, weapons were rare items. Who knows how many poor brothers were still out there hacking at monsters with broken wooden swords...

"Keeping them just takes up space in the bag; I'll cash them all out!"

Lin Feng opened the Trading House directly and deftly listed all the excess equipment. Same old rule: auction mode, 30 minutes.

With nothing to do, he checked the real-world time. From the server launch until now, he had been online continuously for over a dozen hours.

Even though his mind was stimulated and incredibly excited by the game, his ordinary human body in reality was already tired and sleepy.

"No, no, if I keep pushing, I'll die from exhaustion." "Money can't be earned all at once; the body is the real capital."

Lin Feng let out a big yawn and planned to log off and get some sleep. He found a safe corner and chose to exit the game directly.

[Ding! Exiting God's Domain...]

After taking off his helmet, he wobbled while walking; he was severely lacking in mental energy.

It looked like he needed to save up some money to buy a virtual nutrient pod. Plus, the pod came with nutrient liquid absorption, which could replenish most of the negative effects lost by the body.

It was said that it allowed an ordinary person to stay online for five consecutive days without harming their safety, making it a must-have for hardcore players.

Unfortunately, the price of one virtual nutrient pod was 2.5 million; people without a few mines at home simply couldn't afford it...

Sleepiness hit him. Before sleeping, he opened his phone to browse the game forum to see if there were any interesting things. There were many pinned and highlighted posts, and he casually opened a gossip thread.

[According to an insider, those who reach the Universe level can play God's Domain infinitely...] At first, netizens were replying humbly, but soon the user who posted the thread was cyberbullied.

1st floor: "Does infinite play mean you don't have to log off and can stay in the game forever?" @ 1st floor: "Nothing wrong with that, provided you have the strength..." "I'm only at Planet Level 3..." "Then why the hell are you asking, you little newbie."

3rd floor: "Are people who can reach the Universe level before the age of 45 normal people? The OP is an idiot." 4th floor: "True, such geniuses are undoubtedly cultivated by major powers and sacred grounds in the universe."

5th floor: "Stop dreaming! The nutrient pod is the ultimate answer for mortals. Even though 2.5 million is expensive, it's ten thousand times more reliable than cultivating to the Universe level!"

6th floor: "Universe level? That's a legendary realm, right! For us small fries, it's more comfortable to just be leeks in peace!"

The final conclusion was to suggest buying a nutrient pod directly and stop thinking about those nonsense things.

After reading for a while, sleepiness hit him. It was all content without any substance, so he simply turned off his phone.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face. In the mirror, he looked slightly tired, but he was still undeniably handsome.

He collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep within seconds. But what he didn't know was that at this moment, inside the game, because of his listing operation, things had exploded once again.
