My career has infinite upgrades.

Gu Qing ignored the people following behind him and headed straight for the Hailan Exchange in the city center.

The upgrade is now complete, and you can continue upgrading.

With three days left before the college entrance exam results were released, he didn't want to waste any time.

After all, his own rank was upgraded to Mythical, and each level up would grant him 12 free attribute points.

The more levels you increase, the more dramatically your attributes will improve.

Moreover, Cecilia and Melissand are not yet level 10, and they need to level up quickly.

Gu Qing estimated that he could now enter areas around level 20 to hunt monsters, which would maximize his leveling efficiency.

However, you still need to get a set of equipment before you go.

You also need to buy some life-saving items, since you never know what might happen in the wild.

Higher-level monster areas have a higher danger level.

Hailan Exchange is the largest exchange in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is rich in resources.

It has everything, from high-level equipment to rare materials.

Of course, the prices inside are much higher than on the black market.

But its advantage lies in its convenience.

Gu Qing quickly arrived at the Hailan Exchange and went straight inside.

Hailan Exchange occupies a huge area, as large as ten football fields.

The first floor is a regular trading hall, where all kinds of goods are available, but most of them are low-grade.

Gu Qing glanced around and then headed straight for the second floor.

The second floor is the boutique area, which is noticeably quieter, and each counter is decorated with great care.

Gu Qing soon arrived at an equipment counter.

Most of the items here are of the Gold/Dark Gold grade, which suits Gu Qing's preferences.

"Distinguished guest, please feel free to look around. If you find one you like, I will give you a detailed introduction."

Behind the counter stood a capable-looking middle-aged man who smiled at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing nodded and began to quickly scan the equipment.

With the Undead Guardian, Gu Qing doesn't really need equipment with high defense; what's best is equipment that increases spirit or movement speed.

After looking around, Gu Qing took a liking to two pieces of equipment.

[Hidden Current Inner Armor]

[Rank: Dark Gold]

[After wearing, increases Spirit by 30 points and increases Spirit recovery by 5%.]

It has only one attribute, which is to increase spirit. Thirty points of spirit is quite good.

The other piece of equipment was a leather boot.

Windrunner

[Rank: Gold]

[After equipping, increases Agility by 20 points and grants the skill Instant Rush]

[Instant Rush: Instantly increases movement speed by 100% for 3 seconds.]

A decent piece of equipment for mobility, it increases agility and also provides a short-distance sprint skill.

"How much are these two?" Gu Qing asked directly, pointing to the two pieces of equipment.

The middle-aged man glanced at it, then took it out and handed it to Gu Qing for inspection.

"Young man, you have good taste. Both of these pieces of equipment are excellent for boosting attributes. The Dark Stream Inner Armor costs 200,000 Energy Crystals, and the Windwalker costs 90,000 Energy Crystals, for a total of 290,000 Energy Crystals."

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said directly, "A total of 250,000 energy crystals. If that's okay, I'll just swipe my card. If not, I'll take another look."

Hailan Exchange does not allow price reductions, and Gu Qing wanted to give it a try.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Is this your first time here, young man? We at Hailan Exchange do not negotiate prices, and the listed prices are all within a reasonable range. We won't rip you off."

"Of course, if you have a membership card from our Hailan Exchange, you can enjoy a discount."

Gu Qing's expression shifted slightly: "Membership card?"

He had never heard of it.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's right. As long as you spend 500,000 energy coins at the Hailan Exchange, you can get a basic membership card and enjoy a 5% discount. After spending a certain amount, you can upgrade your membership card and enjoy more discounts."

Gu Qing nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then write these two items down for me. I'll look at the other things and we'll make up the 500,000 to pay together."

Since I was going to buy equipment anyway, I might as well just scrape together 500,000.

Next, Gu Qing continued to wander around, looking for equipment that suited him.

After looking around, Gu Qing didn't find anything suitable.

Either the attributes aren't what I need, or the attributes are good, but there are level requirements for wearing them.

Finally, Gu Qing stopped in the weapons section, his gaze falling on a weapon.

It was a scythe, somewhat similar in style to the Netherworld Soul Scythe, but entirely black, with a black bone on the hilt.

Black Bone Scythe

[Rank: Gold]

[Equipped with Strength +10, Spirit +10, and comes with the skill Spirit Tide.]

[Spirit Tide: Gathers the power of the dead, forming a tide that impacts a fan-shaped area in front, causing fear and paralysis effects.]

A decent weapon; it increases both strength and spirit attributes and also adds a control skill.

Most importantly, it is only of the gold rank, and its price is lower than that of the dark gold rank.

Only 150,000 energy crystals.

Weapons are generally more expensive than other equipment, and 150,000 energy crystals is already considered very cost-effective for these attributes.

Gu Qing immediately decided to use the black bone scythe as his weapon.

However, they still hadn't raised enough for 500,000.

Gu Qing bought some life-saving items such as escape talismans and spent another 30,000 energy crystals.

They're all disposable, so they're not too expensive.

Finally, Gu Qing arrived at the area of ​​unusual items.

This place sells all sorts of unusual items, each with a different effect.

Rare items generally command a higher premium.

However, remembering the effects of the strange items he had encountered before, Gu Qing decided to go in and see if there were any suitable strange items for him.

After looking around, Gu Qing didn't find any interesting or unusual items.

At least none of them are quite suitable for me.

Moreover, the prices of rare items are really high, mostly around 300,000 energy crystals, and some special rare items are even priced above one million energy crystals.

Just as Gu Qing was about to buy some more props to reach 500,000 energy crystals, a thought suddenly struck him.

He sensed a familiar presence.

The power of the undead.

It was very faint, but not far ahead.

At that moment, the Netherworld also trembled, as if it had resonated with something.

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then headed towards that area and soon arrived at a corner.

There are many strange objects here, including a peculiar diary and a broken black crown.

Gu Qing's gaze fell upon the black crown.

What resonated with the Netherworld was this black crown.

Gu Qing stepped forward and directly checked the information marked on the black crown.

The Crown of the Dead (Fragmented)

[Rank: Rare Item]

The crown, obtained from an unknown land, contains the power of the undead and is currently sealed.

[It can be infused with the power of the undead, restoring some of its strength.]

[Note: This crown is severely damaged and requires special materials for repair.]
