The main roads in Snowfall City are very wide and spacious. Since most players usually fight monsters outside the city to level up, and those who don't level up rarely wander around on these snowy streets, Xiao Hua felt that Snowfall City was too deserted after leaving the resurrection point.
When she stepped into the fashion store, Xiao Hua felt a little warmer.
"Are you here to buy fashion?" Seeing Xiao Hua walk in, a delicate girl standing quietly on the side with her entire body wrapped in a white fur coat happily said.
Xiao Hua nodded, and the girl continued, "I am a armor maker. I made a batch of fashion items with the same cold resistance attribute as those in the system store. The appearance is much better than that of the system, and it's also much cheaper. If you need fashion items, you can buy them from me."
Seeing Xiao Hua a little confused, she said again, "You can understand after you look at the fashion in the store."
Xiao Hua opened the store list, and his face turned black. The fashionable clothes that cost only one gold coin during the internal test now cost up to tens of thousands of gold coins, while the cheapest ones cost five gold coins. In a year, he had worked hard in the new player village and earned only more than twelve gold coins.
The delicate girl saw Xiao Hua's face change drastically, and her black and bright eyes revealed a smile. She gently laughed, "My fashion designs are much cheaper. Which price range do you want? Oh, I don't have any that are too expensive."
"Cheapest." Xiao Hua cursed the system for being too black, and turned to the girl.
"The cheapest is three gold coins for a set, with two colors. What's your name? I'll show you the transaction."
"Never steal a man's wife." Now, Xiao Hua has become numb to his name. Anyway, no one knows the real him, so let them think whatever they want!
"What... oh, you mean not to steal other people's wives, right? I understand. You can accept the application." The girl was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. Although she had seen many strange names, the impact of Xiao Hua's name was still too great.
Xiao Hua accepted the deal, glanced at the girl's name with whom he traded, "Meng Meng Xue." Meng Meng Xue placed two different-colored fur coats in the trading section, one gray-brown and one pure white.
"Give me a gray-brown one," Xiao Hua pointed to the gray-brown fur coat, he was not used to wearing clothes with too bright colors, even in the game.
"I think you should still choose pure white," suggested Momo. "Outside the city is a vast expanse of white ice and snow, where a white fur coat can easily hide your movements, but a gray one will make it easier for others to spot you."
Xiao Hua listened and agreed, accepting Mo Mo's suggestion to buy a white fur coat. After the transaction, he immediately put it on and felt a wave of warmth wash over him.
"How did the players who first entered the system survive with such expensive fashion?" Xiaohua asked in confusion.
"Haha, players who choose Piaoxue City in the first six months will be able to receive a set of cold-resistant clothing from the system," explained Mofeng.
"Indeed," Xiao Hua nodded.
"Add me as a friend, I specialize in sewing and skinning skills. My sewing skill is already at the master level. If you want to make leather armor or cloth armor with high-quality fur in the future, you can come to me." Miao Miao's snow sent Xiao Hua a friend request, not missing any possible customers. This was one of the reasons why her sewing skill had reached the master level.
Xiao Hua accepted without hesitation. If there was no special reason, he probably wouldn't have practiced sewing skills for the rest of his life. In the second world, it was often possible to obtain a top-notch equipment blueprint, which required a specialized armorist or weaponist to craft.
The two just added each other as friends, and a small team of three walked into the fashion store. By looking at their weapons and attire, it was clear that there were one warrior and two archers. The warrior in front immediately came over when he saw the vast snow.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"Massive snow, what you did is hard for us to explain to the higher-ups." The soldier was a little dissatisfied.
"Dragon Brother, this is my friend. I'm showing him around Snow City." Mo Mo said with a smile as if nothing was wrong in the snow.
"Forget it, pay attention next time. There is no one else there anyway. I don't want to be too busy. Please leave quickly." The soldier looked and saw that there was no one else in the store except them, so he whispered to the vast snow.
"Thank you, Dragon Brother. We'll be leaving first." Miao Miao stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Hua out of the fashion store.
With his warm hands holding her, Xiao Hua subconsciously squeezed them.
"What kind of people are they?" The conversation between the two just now was a bit strange, and Xiao Hua couldn't understand it.
"The system store has some things that are too expensive, so there are many people like me who go to the store to snatch business from the system. However, at that time, the fashion store was within the territory of the Icebound Union, and it had always been monopolized by their people. Today, I saw they were not around, so I took the opportunity to go in and do some business."
"Did you not join a union?" Xiaohua only noticed that Mo Mo's body was not wearing a union badge. If a player who did not belong to any union had independently mastered the sewing skill, it would be too surprising for him. This was different from the skills he practiced without cost; the sewing skill required a lot of practice materials.
"I practiced by myself. I don't like to join the guild and obey the arrangement and command of the guild." The vast snow said a little proudly, "The ice field outside the floating snow city is mostly beast monsters, many combat players in order to upgrade, will not waste time peeling the monster's fur. I followed different teams from the beginning of the game, helping them to peel the dead monster's fur, one and a half, and sometimes directly in situ to help them make equipment. In fact, those few people just also and I formed a team, will be open to me."
"Wow, you really are amazing!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but exclaim. The vast snow sounds simple, but it's far from that in reality.
"You're only at level 17. I just made a few pieces of white leather armor at level 15 while practicing skills. Do you want them? If so, I'll give them to you. These items are probably not going to be bought by any players, and they won't sell for many silver coins in the store."
"I don't need the leather armor, but everything else is fine." Knowing that Mo Mo's words were all true, Xiao Hua didn't bother her anymore.
The snow then traded a pair of leather leggings, a pair of leather gloves and a pair of leather shoes.
Common Bear Leggings: Physical Defense 12, Magic Defense 8, Level 15 can be equipped.
Common Bear Leather Wristguards: Physical Defense 9, Magic Defense 6, Level 15 can be equipped.
Ordinary bear skin shoes: Physical defense 8, magic defense 6, level 15 can be equipped.
Xiao Hua looked at the attributes, which were much better than his current technician set, so he changed it and his defensive ability increased significantly.
"Alright, I'm going to check if there are any new people who need clothes. If you need to make equipment, remember to find me." Momo waved her little hand and ran away with a puff of white breath from her mouth.
Looking at the snow that was gradually running away, Xiao Hua couldn't help but think of Zhou Xiaorou. If Zhou Xiaorou appeared in the game, what would she look like?
Thinking about this, Xiao Hua's heart started to itch. He had to quickly upgrade his equipment and level up, otherwise, he would not be able to bring Zhou Xiaorou along and embarrass himself in front of her, which would be a joke.
To upgrade, the first thing he has to do now is to learn skills. From level 10 onwards, there is a skill to learn every one or two levels. There are two ways to learn low-level skills. The first is to accept tasks from professional tutors. After completing the tasks, you can learn the corresponding skills from tutors. Poor people without money can only go this way. The second is to buy directly from the skill book store, but the more advanced the skill book, the more gold coins are needed. Take the 10-level stealth for only 50 silver coins, the 11-level injury for 2 gold coins, the 13-level poison for 4 gold coins, and the 15-level split for 10 gold coins. This is the patent of the rich and spends money to buy time.
In other words, if he directly buys it, Xiao Hua, this poor guy, can only buy the skills of injury and poison. Even so, Xiao Hua still chooses to spend gold coins to buy skills. It's more efficient to buy skills and fight monsters than to spend time on tasks. In the early stages of thieves, having one more or less skill in output really doesn't make much difference.
Xiao Hua wandered around Snow City and found a skill store. He bought two skill books on injury and poison, sighed, and learned them.
Injured (Beginner): Activate character's 90% attack power, after hitting the target, make the target enter an injured state for 30 seconds. For each hit, lose an additional 15 HP, and the effect will disappear after ten hits, with a cooldown time of 35 seconds.
Poisoning (Beginner): Apply poison to weapons, and after successful use, the weapon's attacks will inflict toxin damage for 10 seconds. The target has a 70% chance of losing 10 HP per second for 5 seconds when hit, and the toxicity can be stacked. The current success rate is 60%, with a cooldown time of 20 seconds.
This is the skill of thieves, sneaky and petty, with no powerful instantaneous output, only relying on slowly draining blood to kill monsters. The output among all combat professions is slightly higher than that of priests.
But this does not mean that thieves can only be a low-output profession for life. Any profession, with a high-attack weapon or obtaining a more powerful free skill, can instantly transform into a powerful outputter!
