The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

Walking out of the Temple of Professions with his head down, Huan Cheng found himself surrounded by groups of players on the streets, a bustling crowd that made him feel somewhat uneasy.

I wonder how Yunxi's job change went?

Thinking of this, Huan Cheng sent a message to Yun Xi to inquire about her recent situation.

"Ding, the friend you are currently in a special situation and cannot receive messages temporarily. Please try contacting them again later."

Huan Cheng received a system notification as soon as the message was sent.

"A special scenario? Looks like the trial isn't over yet? I hope she has good luck!"

Huan Cheng closed the friends list and suddenly remembered that he still had two rewards to claim.

Quickly open the system interface and retrieve the long-awaited rewards.

The first thing was the silver first kill reward for defeating the Goblin Priest. At the time, I was busy with a lot of things like job change and trials, so I didn't have time to check it carefully.

[Ring of Greed]: A growth-type equipment that can absorb gold coins to increase its level. Growth value: 0/1000.

Current equipment attributes: Comes with 200 storage slots; identical items can be stacked infinitely. Additional effects: [Greed] and [Forced Plunder].

【Greed】: Automatically collects all unclaimed gold, silver, gems, equipment, materials, and items within a 50-meter radius.

[Forced Looting]: Upon killing a target, force an additional drop of the target's most valuable item. This effect only applies to humanoid creatures.

Note: Using this equipment will consume 10 gold coins per day. You cannot wear it if you do not have enough gold coins.

"This thing..."

After seeing the attributes of the Ring of Greed, Huan Cheng was speechless.

It is indeed very powerful. The system's default backpack only has 30 slots, but this ring comes with 200 slots, which is eight or nine times larger.

It also has two major effects: automatic pickup and forced looting. The latter, in particular, greatly compensates for Huan Cheng's profession penalty of having a fixed luck value of 1 and a dismal drop rate.

The only thing that bothered him was why he had to offer 10 gold coins every day while wearing this thing.

Huan Cheng had been keeping a close eye on the forum news.

After the initial frenzy and chaos of the game, the exchange rate of in-game currency has stabilized.

Currently, with large conglomerates, 1 copper coin can be exchanged for approximately 8 Chinese yuan.

In other words, one gold coin is equal to 8 Chinese Yuan!

The Ring of Greed consumes 10 gold coins per day, which is equivalent to 80 Chinese Yuan per day.

Huan Cheng was speechless at the price.

He had spent a lot of time and effort, including first-killing bosses and completing hidden quests, to accumulate just over seventy gold coins, which he was reluctant to spend on the Ring of Greed.

Putting this thing aside for the time being, Huan Cheng then looked at the second item.

This is the reward given by the system for the first person to complete the job change.

[Dimensional Stone]: A special spatial item that allows you to set up to 3 dimensional anchor points. After use, you can teleport between different anchor points. Cooldown period: 3 hours.

Current number of anchor points: 0/3.

"Good stuff, really good stuff!"

Upon seeing the attribute description, Huan Cheng was overjoyed.

He had previously complained about not having a return scroll, saying that he had to walk back and forth every time, which was a waste of time. He didn't expect the system to give him such an item right away.

With a satisfied expression, Huan Cheng put away the dimensional stone and planned to go to the City Lord's Mansion Mission Hall to check out counter number 6, which Kader had mentioned, to see if there were any suitable missions.

Just as he lifted his foot to make a move, he was stopped by a burly male player.

"Brother, do you need a map of Qingyang City? It's an essential tool for leveling up and gathering materials!"

Looking at the unusually enthusiastic burly man in front of him, Huan Cheng was momentarily stunned.

This is so much like a real-life real-life salesperson.

Seeing that Huan Cheng didn't react, the player became a little anxious: "Brother, a map is only 10 silver, a fair and affordable price, and it will save you a lot of trouble, can I have one?"

"What map?" Huan Cheng asked, intrigued.

"Hey, this map of mine shows the distribution of monsters below level 30 around Qingyang City. It's the only one of its kind."

"I saw you came out of the Temple of Job Change, so you must have just completed your job change, right? With this map, your monster-killing and leveling efficiency will be off the charts! Climbing the leaderboards will be a piece of cake!"

This person was extremely eloquent, speaking fluently and at length, and even showed Huan Cheng the map attributes, which were indeed the distribution map of monsters below level 30 recognized by the system.

"Too expensive, make it cheaper!" Huan Cheng was already tempted, but he still subconsciously bargained.

"Oh dear, it's just a small business, this is already the lowest price." The man forced a worried look onto his face, then put on a desperate expression: "Since you're so determined, boss, I'll charge you the cost price, only 800 copper coins, how about that?"

"B-Brother, I also have a map here, only 100 copper coins, would you like to take a look?"

Just as Huan Cheng was about to agree, a weak voice came from behind him.

"Where did this brat come from, causing trouble here?" Before Huan Cheng could even speak, the salesman, who had been all smiles just moments before, shouted angrily, rolling up his sleeves as if he were about to start a fight.

Huan Cheng turned around and found that the person who spoke was a thin boy, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a white mage robe and should be a prospective mage.

At this moment, he looked timidly at the burly man with a face full of anger, his eyes filled with tears, and he lowered his head like a quail.

"Really only 100 copper coins?" Huan Cheng asked with some curiosity.

Whether it's 1000 copper or 100 copper, it makes no real difference to him, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

"Yes!" The boy looked at Huan Cheng and nodded vigorously.

"Boss, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. 100 copper coins isn't even enough to cover your costs. This kid is 100% lying to you!" The burly man crossed his arms, looking at the boy with disdain and a sneer on his face.

"I...I'm different!"

Despite being extremely nervous, the boy vehemently argued, "This... I drew it myself!"

"Drawn by himself? Hey boss, did you hear that? This kid's just trying to fool you!"

The boy blushed and stammered, "Although...although I drew it myself, it's exactly the same as the one sold in the system store!"

"System store?" Huan Cheng keenly grasped the keyword and looked at the burly man suspiciously.

The burly man's expression changed, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Boss, I'm just making a meager living. To be honest, the system shop does sell maps, each costing 500 copper coins. I'm just passing them off as a sale, making 300 copper coins off you. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

"Nonsense, a map in the system shop only costs 300 copper coins!"

Before Huan Cheng could speak, the boy roared indignantly.

The burly man was clearly a seasoned veteran; even after the boy exposed him to his face, he remained unfazed: "Boss, you heard it too, the cost price is 300 coppers, and this kid dares to sell it for 100? Isn't that price blatantly a rip-off?"

"The system shop that sells maps is in the East City, which is a two-hour round trip from here. If you think it's worth it, we can consider 500 copper coins as a token of friendship. If you don't think it's worth it, we can still be on good terms even if we don't make a deal."

Huan Cheng shook his head slightly, gesturing for the burly man to leave, then looked at the boy with interest: "What's your name?"

"Qiu Shui, my name is Qiu Shui!"

The boy said somewhat nervously.
