Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 5 Attacked

Before lunch, I sent a message on the alliance channel of the system interface, inviting Mr. Niu, the second generation of local tyrants, square women, and medical experts to go to the store to buy equipment, but no one replied to me until lunchtime.

I regret a little that I didn't think of a fact before sending the message.

They all have at least 2,000 gold now, and I only have 10 gold, maybe they don't care about me as a poor ghost.

Of course, it's possible that it's just me living in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I thought.

After lunch, no one answered me. So, I had to go shopping for gear on my own.

Out of the palace, walking on the street of Wangcheng, there are many shops on both sides, the hawkers on both sides of the road are shouting one after another, and the pedestrians are rubbing shoulders one after another, and it is very lively.

The streets of the royal city are worthy of being so prosperous, even in times of darkness.

Pedestrians kept greeting me, calling me a hero, and making way for me.

I wasn't surprised, because I was dressed differently than the locals. In addition, I also found that the hair colors of people here are also varied, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and only a few people have black hair.

I chatted with one of the young men who greeted me, asking him where the nearby gear store was, where to buy maps, and how much gold was worth.

From this young man's mouth, I learned that 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins. And 1 gold coin is enough for an ordinary person's living expenses for nearly a month.

The young man asked:

"Hero, how many gold coins did you get from Your Majesty?"

"10 gold."

I don't understand why he asked this question, but I told him the truth.

Who knew that he turned around and walked away after hearing this, what was the situation?

I shrugged helplessly.

Following the information I had received from him, I found a shop that sold maps, bought a map of the kingdom for 200 copper coins, and walked back to the location of the equipment shop.

On the way, I found that when the passers-by recognized me, not only did they lose their previous awe, but there was even a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Even, I had a vague sense that someone was secretly following me.

I hope I'm just overthinking, but I'm still more vigilant.

When I came to the gear store, the owner introduced me to a lot of equipment, but I couldn't afford most of it.

For example, the Hero Boots, which can increase the maximum movement speed by 40%, but cost 8000 gold; There is also the Golden Silk Vest, which can increase damage and block by 400 points, but it costs 12,000 gold.

It's so expensive, don't talk about me, I believe that the second generation of local tyrants can't afford these high-end equipment for the time being.

Finally, he took a shield from a corner and said to me:

"Hero, this shield is made of special wood, which has a chance to block 10 damage for you, but it only costs 8 gold coins, which is definitely worth the price."

"Show me."

I reached out to take my shield.

But the boss insisted on not giving me the shield and wouldn't tell me what the name of the shield was.

I instantly remembered that when I used to read novels, the male protagonist often got some adventures, even if it was a seemingly ordinary piece of equipment found at an ordinary stall, it was actually a peerless treasure with a great background.

Could it be that this shield is not ordinary, but is actually a god-level equipment?

The boss has admired my name for a long time, and specially offered me treasures, but he wants to test my eyesight first?

Without long hesitation, I paid 8 gold coins for the shield.

The moment he took the shield, a small circular shield pattern was displayed in the position of the equipment bar on the translucent system interface in front of him.

I've double-checked the shield's stats several times, but, as the boss said, this shield does only have a chance to block 10 damage.

And the top of the shield pattern shows its name - the Poor Ghost Shield.

Just learned from the shopkeeper the relationship between the color of the equipment name and the quality of the equipment:

White - Normal equipment

Green – excellent equipment

Blue – well-equipped

Purple – Epic Gear

Orange – Legendary Equipment

There are also two more special colors, gray for broken equipment and gold for the highest level, artifacts.

I heard from the boss that the king has a Sun and Moon Divine Sword, which is the artifact of the Ruth Kingdom.

And the poor ghost shield I bought belongs to the white ordinary equipment.

I said, there is no such thing as pie in the sky.

Alas! A novel is a novel after all, even if I am in another world now, it is a real world, so it's better not to be whimsical.

With my shield in hand, I walked on my way back to the palace.

Suddenly, I vaguely felt a hint of murderous aura, and without the slightest hesitation, I turned sharply on the spot and raised the poor ghost shield to block.

Hiss –

A wave of pain hit me, and I took a deep breath.

A dagger glittering with cold light stabbed me in the heart, but fortunately it was blocked by the Poor Ghost Shield. But the tip of the dagger slashed through the sleek shield, still scratching my left arm.

A trail of blood oozed from his left arm, but fortunately the wound was shallow.

I stared at the young man who had stabbed me in front of me, and asked angrily:

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me? ”

He didn't answer.

In a flash of coldness, the dagger stabbed at me again.

I didn't have time to think about it, I smashed the dagger away with my shield in my left hand, and slammed my fist into his head with my right hand.

With a thud, he fell to the ground motionless, a large amount of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He's dead?

I didn't expect a punch to kill him.

By the way, I'm a hero, and my base attack power is much higher than that of ordinary people.

I glanced at the system interface, which showed my current HP: 1996, and was slowly recovering.

Within seconds, my health was back at 2,000 and my left arm was bleeding again.

"Killed, killed."

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd around them retreated, far away from me.

"It turns out that the so-called hero is nothing more than a murderer who kills people indiscriminately."

Another strange voice came out of nowhere, as if it sounded in my ears and hit the depths of my soul.

The onlookers around me, who did not know the truth, looked at me with disappointment, fear, and anger.

I am wronged, but I must argue for myself.

"He's an assassin and wants to kill me, I'm just fighting back in self-defense, please trust me."

As I tried to explain, the strange voice rang out again.

"He didn't kill you, why are you fighting back?"

If you don't kill me, I can't fight back?

If I'm killed, how can I fight back?

I'm a little annoyed by this unreasonable accusation.

However, the voice didn't give me time to explain again, and it rang out one after another, constantly accusing me of fighting back.

The more he scolded, the more fierce he became, and his words became more and more unpleasant.

I felt very aggrieved, my chest was faintly tight, and a mouthful of blood rushed up.

Poof-

I spurted out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, I was shocked to find that my HP had dropped to 920.

At the same time, I noticed that in the chat channel of the system interface, a system message appeared at some point:

The keyboard killer has unleashed his ultimate move on you - a saliva rage.
