Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 27 Mysterious Fragments
There was no other way. On the way, Ling Chuan had come up with at least seven or eight excuses to get away with it, each one capable of dispelling suspicion. However, when he saw Ling Feixue and Yi Han being harassed by mere third-rate players, the arrogance ingrained in his soul from his previous life completely erupted! In his previous life, without the advantage of past-life memories, he was still high-profile and domineering; in this life, carrying those memories, why should he be low-key and patient? To lie low and develop? To play the fool? Sorry! He preferred simple, brutal, and arrogant behavior, because this wasn't another world, where there were no so-called powerful figures to fear. If he had to be called a powerful figure, he was one. Those he bullied were honored! Those who bullied him were doomed! Everyone was the same! Therefore, he completely merged his past and present lives, revealing a reason for a permanent solution!

"Are you... telling the truth?"

Ling Feixue looked at Ling Chuan in disbelief, feeling both surprised and angry. She was pleased that her younger brother had never had any psychological problems, and not only that, he also had his own ideas and worked hard for them; she was angry that he had kept it a secret from his closest sister for so many years.

Ling Chuan felt extremely guilty, and the apology on his face came from the bottom of his heart.

Yi Han remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Since you know this technique, why don't you tell your sister? If she could use this technique, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much back then."

Ling Chuan shook his head. "I call it a trick, but it's actually a loophole in the dungeon design. The official Sanctuary team and top gamers aren't stupid. They know very well how many teams on the entire server can successfully defeat the final boss in an ultimate dungeon. If I tell my sister about this bug, she will definitely use it."

“I have complete faith in my sister and brother-in-law's character, but my sister is, after all, a support character. If they want to cooperate, they need to recruit another person. This person might be the one my sister and brother-in-law trust the most, but human nature can never withstand the test of huge profits. If he openly cooperates with my sister but secretly recruits others to use it, the material [Holy Meteorite] will flood the market, causing huge fluctuations. Top players will be the first to notice something is wrong, and the official authorities will immediately intervene to investigate. At that point, it won't be as simple as just recovering losses. Exploiting bugs for profit was a serious crime decades ago!”

"..."

Ling Feixue and Yi Han suddenly realized what was going on. At the same time, they couldn't help but admire Ling Chuan's composure and calmness. Otherwise, given their situation at the time, they might have really taken the risk.

"So, the novice you portrayed at the hospital was all a lie?" Yi Han asked, feigning anger.

Ling Chuan scratched his head. "Well, I had no choice."

"You brat!" Yi Han grabbed Ling Chuan's neck and said through gritted teeth, "You've really screwed me over all these years!"

Ling Chuan laughed heartily, without struggling, and said gently, "Forgive me, it was all a test for my brother-in-law. After all... I only have one sister, my favorite sister."

Yi Han paused, his gaze softened instantly, and the hand that was holding Ling Chuan's arm loosened its grip.

Suddenly, Ling Chuan felt a weight on his neck and a warmth on his forehead. Yi Han smiled and pressed her lips against his, saying softly, "Thank you, thank you for being willing to give me your favorite sister. I swear on my life that I will never betray your trust."

"Ouch, the meat tastes so numbing!"

"You bastard! I was truly in love!"

"Woooo..."

Just as the two were having a heart-to-heart talk, Ling Feixue's soft sobs came from behind them.

The two turned around abruptly and exclaimed in surprise, "Feixue (Sister)?" In the game, the character's emotions are only reflected in facial expressions. When crying, there are no tears, but the redness in the corners of the eyes can be seen.

Ling Feixue wiped her slightly reddened eyes and laughed in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, I just couldn't control myself."

Ling Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Yi Han's hand away and placed it on Ling Feixue's hand, but had to spoil the mood by saying, "Let's leave the emotional stuff outside. The most important thing now is to recover our lost advantage as soon as possible."

Ling Feixue raised her eyes and nodded, "That's right, regain the advantage."

Yi Han seconded, "Yes! We must improve our strength as soon as possible. With Tang Hao's personality, he will definitely not let this go. He may already be planning how to take revenge on us. Xiao Chuan, you are the highest level and have a deep understanding of the game. From now on, you will be in charge of all actions."

Ling Chuan sighed with relief, finally having a voice, and said directly, "Let's go to the auction house!"

As for Tang Hao, he had absolutely no right to motivate him. If he wanted to, he could come up with ten ways to make him cry in a second!
After a long and dusty journey, the three arrived at the auction house in the newbie village. Calling it an auction house was a bit of a stretch; it was essentially just a merchant NPC. After speaking with it, they opened the item selection screen, and countless white items appeared on the interface. In the Divine Revelation Continent, newbie villages are divided into regions, but the auction house is not. It connects all regions, so as long as you have enough funds, you can buy goods produced anywhere.

I glanced at the gold coin ratio first. Just like in my previous life, it was 1:10000 (i.e., 1 gold coin = 10000 RMB). The ratio of game currency was frighteningly high when the server first opened. However, this ratio will soon drop as a large number of players flood in and players' levels increase, and eventually it will be fixed at 1:1.

Glancing at the remaining 5 gold, 87 silver, and 50 copper in his inventory, Ling Chuan decisively abandoned the idea of ​​exchanging them for cash. He reached out and clicked on the armor type, selecting armor. Instantly, five pieces expanded out, representing the basic standard of equipment in the Divine Revelation Continent: [Helmet], [Chestplate], [Pants], [Gloves], and [Shoes]. Accessories had three slots: two rings and one necklace. Weapons varied depending on class; most classes could only wield one weapon, while some classes had main-hand and off-hand weapons, such as knights who could wield both sword and shield, hunters who could switch between heavy crossbows and daggers, and some more special hidden classes.

Of course, in addition to armor, weapons, and accessories, there are two other types of special equipment: cloaks and medals. However, the former has an extremely low drop rate, while the latter requires a certain amount of reputation to wear. Both are unobtainable in the early game, so we won't worry about them for now.

With a quick glance around, Ling Chuan's hands flew across the screen, and in just a few seconds, five level 3 armor pieces were already in his inventory, costing 15 silver coins, which was quite cheap.

Click on the weapon category and filter in the same way to find a level 3 [Dog Fang Longsword] and a [Strange Dog Bone Shield]. Weapons are much more expensive than armor, costing a total of 50 silver coins for the two. After buying them, he turned around and gave both the weapon and armor to Yi Han. Then, in the same way, he spent 30 silver coins to buy a set of cloth armor and a long staff, which he then gave to Ling Feixue.

The two stared at the backpack interface in disbelief. Before even embarking on their new journey, they had already truly felt the thrill of being a tycoon and that intoxicating fragrance—yes, the smell of money.

Ling Chuan responded with mystery, and as he turned to close the auction house interface, his finger inexplicably clicked on the item option. Little did he know that this single click would cause his calm expression to crumble, replaced by an even more exaggerated shock than Yi Han and Ling Feixue! Because on the first page of the item inventory, there hung a piece of grayish-white material inlaid with red patterns, exuding an ancient and rustic feel!

With his Adam's apple bobbing and his lips slightly parted, Ling Chuan trembled as he tapped the fragment, and an attribute panel flew out.
