Evil Immortal!

Chapter 76 The Unbelievable Zhang Wei!

After Sun Youfu left, Meng Yuan took out a strange gray-black stone from his storage bag. It was about the size of a head, with an irregular surface and a dull metallic luster. It weighed over a hundred kilograms.

If you look closely, you can even see a thin layer of black light faintly emanating from it.

This strange, grayish-black stone was something he unexpectedly discovered inside the demonized fish when he killed it today.

"I'm lucky, I actually got a piece of dark iron essence."

Meng Yuan examined the strange stone in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

"With this piece of dark iron essence, we can continue to refine the Purple Cloud Sword Pill."

,

Dark Iron is a water- and yin-attribute spiritual material that is on par with Iron Mother and Refined Gold. It is generally born at the bottom of water and can be used to refine flying swords or certain magical artifacts.

As for Yin Chen Iron Essence, it is a superior spiritual material whose essence has been enhanced after Yin Chen Iron has been nourished by the essence of Gui Water for millions of years.

Meng Yuan's Purple Cloud Sword Pill is incredibly sharp and has great potential. It already has thirty-seven restrictions, making it a high-grade magic weapon. It would definitely not be difficult to refine it into a magic treasure in the future.

However, there are only two ways to continue refining this sword pellet and improve its grade and power: either consume your true qi cultivation to refine a series of restrictions within the Purple Cloud Sword Pellet and nourish it within your body, or absorb the essence of some spirit iron and rare metals to cultivate this sword pellet.

The former is slow and time-consuming, often taking a century, so Meng Yuan preferred the latter.

With such a large piece of dark iron essence, it can definitely enhance the Purple Cloud Sword Pill with several more restrictions!

Meng Yuan casually put the gloomy iron essence into his storage bag, and with a flick of his body, he transformed into a faint, almost imperceptible ray of light and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei and his group walked towards a village not far away.

As they walked, the group chatted idly, mostly about the Master Ziyang they had just met.

Clearly, Meng Yuan had left a deep impression on them.

However, the players were in a good mood. After all, they had encountered a high-level NPC at the beginning and triggered a B-level quest. Although the quest had not yet been activated, these were enough to make them excited.

The game has just been released for public testing, and many players have flocked to the world of "Evil Immortal". Although the competition is fierce, they have already taken a step ahead of other players.

If you seize this opportunity, you can quickly widen the gap between yourself and other players.

The strongman looked at Zhang Wei and said, "Brother Ji, Master Ziyang should have given you three talismans for communication just now, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Frog Prince and his sister Qingqing also looked at Zhang Wei.

These people include studio players, professional players, and amateur players. They are companions who have temporarily come together, but their relationship is not very close, and they are not a group of people.

Master Ziyang was unaware of this.

However, these three talismans represent three opportunities to contact Master Ziyang, and they are also related to the B-level quest [Lost Item], so they are extremely important!

Yes, that's right.

Zhang Wei wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what the others were thinking. He took out two talismans and handed one to each of the Strongman Locked Man and the Frog Prince, saying, "I'll keep one for myself; you can keep the other two."

Strongman Lock Man and Frog Prince were taken aback, took the talisman, and were somewhat surprised by the other party's generosity.

The strongman looked down at the talisman, then smiled and said, "Since Brother Ji is so generous, I can't be stingy either. How about this, after I log off later, send me your bank account number, and I'll transfer you 10,000 yuan. Consider it a purchase from you."

The frog prince nodded in agreement, "Count me in. Remember to send me your bank account details later."

"Ten thousand yuan for a single talisman?"

'

Zhang Wei was stunned. He looked at the talisman in his hand and said incredulously, "It's just a game item. Didn't you give me a bit too much?"

Heaven has mercy on him. He works so hard, putting in extra hours and staying up all night, exhausting himself, yet his monthly salary is only a little over eight thousand.

This gave him a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

But now, on the very first day of the open beta of [Evil Immortal], he has already earned 20,000 yuan with just two spirit talismans and two small game items, which is hard for him to understand!

I feel like all my hard work and overtime in the past, and how I used to fawn over the department manager for a little bit of cryptocurrency, was a joke!

Zhang Wei suddenly realized that being a professional gamer is a very lucrative job!

Not only does it bring in money quickly, but you can also earn money while standing up!

Strongman Lockman and Frog Prince exchanged a glance and explained with a smile, "Brother Ji, you're an amateur player, not a professional one, so you have no idea what this talisman means. For those really big guilds and top clubs, this amount of money is nothing. The key is that this talisman can contact high-level NPCs like Master Ziyang and trigger quests, which is the most important thing."

,

"If handled properly, it can even give large guilds, top studios, and clubs a head start in the game and allow them to gain more benefits. Especially now that the game is in its early stages, those large guilds and clubs are busy exploring the game. Everyone starts on the same footing, and if they get ahead one step ahead, they will stay ahead the whole way. So let alone 10,000 yuan, even if the price doubles, there will still be plenty of people willing to buy it."

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment before refusing, saying, "But these talismans were given to all of us by Master Ziyang, not just to me. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to accept your money."

,

"Suitable? Why wouldn't it be suitable?"

The strongman chuckled, "Brother Ji, you have to remember, the game world is different from the real world. In the real world, murder is a crime, and everyone is equal before the law. But in the game, because of a piece of equipment, a small matter, or even just disliking someone, PK, stealing monsters, looting treasures, ambushing, and assassinating are all too common, practically countless."

"So you don't have to be too rigid in the game. Even if you get something good, no matter what the reason, it's yours."

After much persuasion, the two finally convinced Zhang Wei to accept the deal.

However, after this incident, the two men had a good impression of Zhang Wei. He was kind, honest, and had principles. Even when a bargain was offered to him, he didn't want to take advantage of it. These days, it's rare to see such honest people.

After walking for more than half an hour, the group finally arrived at a small mountain village called Guojia Village.

Guojia Village is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and the environment is quite nice.

After discussing it for a while, Zhang Wei and the others split up and wandered around the village.

It's partly to trigger certain tasks, earn money for food, and replenish hunger, and partly to gather as much information as possible.

More than an hour later, the group gathered together again, but their expressions were all rather strange.

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Have you noticed that something is a little off about this village?"

'

"It is a bit strange."

The strongman nodded, considered for a moment, and said, "It's very quiet, even abnormally quiet. The whole village is deathly still, and most of the people are middle-aged or young. There are very few elderly people and children. In addition, a considerable number of them have more or less physical deformities, strange appearances, or mental instability. According to the villagers, it's because they have been contaminated by demonic energy."
