Deep within the eighth Gate of Sealing.
After dealing with twenty or thirty common demonic creatures and a dozen elite demons in front of the BOSS.
Jiang Chen quickly approached the towering BOSS.
[Unicorn Demon Rhino (Bronze Level BOSS): LV15]
[Charge: Every 10% decrease in Health Points triggers a rapid charge at the nearest target, dealing 300% damage and knocking the target back 5 meters.]
[Frenzy: Every 25% decrease in Health Points causes the BOSS to ignore aggro and attack any target within 20 meters, increasing Attack Power by 50%.]
"Stay back a bit, this BOSS attacks randomly."
After a quick reminder, Jiang Chen cast a Healing Spell.
A white light descended upon the Unicorn Demon Rhino.
At the same time, the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array and Healing Ray were also cast.
With the enhancement of the Purple Crystal Ball.
A dazzling hexagram magic array and a concentrated white healing ray appeared.
-1472!
-3580! (Dual Cast)
-2846! (Dual Cast)
Three damage numbers popped up almost simultaneously above the BOSS's head.
"Moo!"
The attacked Unicorn Demon Rhino angrily snorted two streams of white mist from its nose and charged at the skill's caster.
Its attack method was to gore with its horn.
Jiang Chen, like a matador, dodged easily with a twist of his body.
A continuous white ray connected to him, and the hexagram magic array beneath his feet still glowed.
Another Healing Spell was cast.
The BOSS's health plummeted, triggering its skill, Charge!
It stopped attacking, scraped its hind hooves on the ground, and then lunged forward, leaving an afterimage as it reached Jiang Chen.
"Too close, can't dodge without Blink..."
Just as the thought crossed Jiang Chen's mind.
Bang!
The BOSS rammed into him.
Jiang Chen was knocked back 5 meters.
A damage number appeared above his head:
-826!
However, Jiang Chen's Health Points remained intact, only losing over 800 mana points.

"Can't waste Blinks dodging skills, just brute force it!"
Jiang Chen quickly launched a new round of skill bombardments.
……
[You have slain the BOSS: Unicorn Demon Rhino (Bronze Level), achieving the first kill.]
Jiang Chen swiftly moved forward to collect the loot.
[You have obtained Moon Spring Robe (Silver Level)]
[You have obtained Cold Iron Greatsword (Silver Level)]
"Let's go to the next location!"
Jiang Chen quickly set off for the ninth Gate of Sealing.
……
Giant Deer City.
At the mansion's shops.
Xia Rui'er discovered that there were actually two shops here, both with her ID listed as the manager.
One was called Treasure Pavilion.
The other was yet to be named.
"Jiang Chen is so rich, he actually got two shops?"
Xia Rui'er was a bit surprised. As far as she knew, renting any shop here cost 1000 gold coins per month.
Converted to RMB, that's 100,000 yuan.
Comparable to prime commercial street locations in big cities.
Ordinary people probably couldn't afford it.
What she didn't know was that Jiang Chen actually rented six shops.
Inside Treasure Pavilion.
Xia Rui'er had the authority to view various shop information:
Shop Name: Treasure Pavilion.
Owner: Mortal World.
Shop Manager: Rui'er.
Items for Sale:
Blood Armor (Gold Level), negotiable.
Cold Frost Staff (Gold Level), negotiable.
Xia Rui'er also found 540 gold coins in the shop's treasury.
After checking the records, she learned.
The money came from selling four Bronze items and one Silver item.
"These items sell for so much, there are really a lot of rich people!"
Xia Rui'er couldn't help but sigh, and her confidence in the market for in-game outfits grew.
Then.
She found the Bright Moon Dress Blueprint and Sunlight Tassel Skirt Blueprint left for her by Jiang Chen in the shop's warehouse.
Though Xia Rui'er was a complete novice in combat, not even clear on equipment attributes.
However, when it came to learning the life profession of a tailor, she almost instantly completed the sub-profession task—[Attempt to create a simple outfit using a blueprint.]
To her, it was no challenge at all.
Much simpler than making clothes in real life!
She looked at the blueprints, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Without hesitation, she chose to learn them.
Immediately, the two blueprints turned into streams of light and merged into Xia Rui'er's body.
[You have learned the Bright Moon Dress Blueprint, gaining the method to create Bright Moon Dress (Rare).]
[You have learned the Sunlight Tassel Skirt Blueprint, gaining the method to create Sunlight Tassel Skirt (Excellent).]
At the same time, detailed design diagrams of the two blueprints and the required materials appeared in Xia Rui'er's sub-profession panel.
[Materials needed for Bright Moon Dress (Rare): Superior Silk ×20, Colorful Brocade ×10, Superior Dye ×5, Gold Thread ×5, Dragon Musk ×1.]
[Materials needed for Sunlight Tassel Skirt (Excellent): High-Quality Silk ×15, Plain Brocade ×15, High-Quality Dye ×5, Flowing Light Thread ×5, Orchid Musk ×1.]
"The design diagrams seem simple enough, but where do I get these materials?"
Xia Rui'er was stunned.
After thinking for a moment, she glanced at the shop owner's ID.
Then, she sent a friend request to "Mortal World" in the friends interface.
At this moment.
A group of people walked across the Main City Square.
They headed straight into the mansion, towards the shop.
Leading the group was the Royal Dynasty Guild Leader, Crown Prince.
"Are you... the owner?"
Crown Prince's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Rui'er inside Treasure Pavilion.
Xia Rui'er was slightly puzzled, "And you are?"
"I'm here to buy equipment."
Crown Prince immediately looked at the shop's shelves.
Two gold-level items were prominently displayed in the sales section.
"Besides the Blood Armor, there's also a gold-level staff."
Crown Prince's eyes narrowed, then he asked, "How much for these two gold-level items?"
"Uh..."
Xia Rui'er was about to say she didn't know, but then she saw the shop announcement Jiang Chen had left and pondered, "Make your own offer, highest bidder wins."
"Make our own offer, so it's an auction?"
Crown Prince frowned in thought, then said, "How about 10,000 gold coins for the Blood Armor?"
"10,000 gold coins?"
Xia Rui'er was a bit stunned. Is this equipment really that expensive?
10,000 gold coins are 1 million RMB!
Thinking about how she worked hard for a year for a salary of 150,000, Xia Rui'er suddenly felt bitter.
This is ridiculous!
She couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"Is it too low?"
Seeing Xia Rui'er not giving a clear response, Crown Prince hesitated and said, "How about 15,000 gold coins?"
Before Xia Rui'er could speak.
A loud voice rang out, "16,000!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama quickly walked over, followed by several core members of the Heavenly Court.
Crown Prince looked at the newcomer, frowning, "President Blade, you want to get involved too? Don't you want that weapon?"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama coldly replied, "What I want to buy is my business, no need for you to worry!"
"Hmph!"
Crown Prince's face turned cold, then he said expressionlessly, "18,000!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama immediately countered, "19,000!"
"20,000!"
At this moment, another figure walked over, it was the Supreme Alliance Leader, Supreme Overlord.
Crown Prince looked at Supreme Overlord and asked, "President Supreme, are you bidding for the Blood Armor or the staff?"
Supreme Overlord was a mage, so Crown Prince thought he was more likely to buy the staff.
"I want them both!"
Supreme Overlord said slowly.
……
Scarlet Flame Ancient Land, Scarlet Flame Mountain.
At the ninth Gate of Sealing, demonic creatures kept emerging.
Then.
A white light shone at the gate.
Soon, all the demonic creatures near the gate were defeated.
Jiang Chen and three beautiful figures emerged.
"Finally dealt with all the BOSSes inside these Gates of Sealing."
Jiang Chen glanced at the Gate of Sealing, letting out a rare sigh of relief.
Although there were still monsters emerging.
Other players should be able to handle these small fries.
At the same time, Jiang Chen glanced at his task points.
[Current Points:]
[Public Points:]
"With so many points, I wonder what rewards I'll get... Hopefully a Resurrection Spell or something."
While Jiang Chen was daydreaming.
He suddenly noticed a friend request.
Although he always received friend requests.
He never paid attention to them.
But this time...
He noticed the ID of the requester was "Rui'er."
"Sister Rui'er?"
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised and immediately accepted the friend request.
A message came through right away.
[Rui'er: Jiang Chen, you finally accepted! I've sent so many requests!]
[Mortal World: Sister Rui'er, what's up?]
[Rui'er: Someone's at your shop buying equipment, they're bidding right now! I don't know what price is appropriate. Also, where do I get the materials for those outfits?]
