Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. That's right, his specialty is that he can craft all kinds of items and turn them from low-level to high-level.

In that case, why didn't he collect some low-level items like he had done before, and then craft high-level items before selling them? In this way, he makes more money and saves more trouble, which is much better than his current task to fight monsters.

He felt that he was so stupid before, why didn't he think of this?

So he and Ida immediately rushed to the auction house. Here, the top-ranked items usually sell for a very high price. Lin Yi went through Ada's guidance and bought a lot of low-level gems.

Because Ida told him that in this world, the price of gemstones is very expensive. Because gems can bring special properties to weapons and equipment, increasing their power.

So there is a lot of demand for fine gemstones, but very few people sell them. This has created a phenomenon where there is no market.

However, there are a lot of low-level gems, after all, this kind of thing can be obtained by mining. This results in a very cheap price for low-grade gemstones. Now Lin Yi has ten gold coins on hand, which can buy 30,000 low-grade gems.

Lin Yi was very excited, and he immediately spent all his savings to buy many, many gems.

Then lock yourself in your room and craft day and night. He's going to combine the lowest gems into the highest ones and sell them.

He spent three days in his room before he finished synthesizing the gems. Eventually, he was given sixteen of the highest grade gems.

And these sixteen highest-grade gems are of different types, some can increase attack power, and some can increase magic defense...... In short, every piece is worth a fortune. Even Ida was a little in love when she saw it, after all, she was also a girl, and she liked it very much when she saw these beautiful gems.

In order to thank Ida for her advice, Lin Yi asked her to choose a gemstone from it as a souvenir.

After some postponement, Ida chose a red gem from inside. She was going to make it into a necklace and hang it around her neck. The remaining fifteen gems, Lin Yi took them to the auction house for sale. He didn't know exactly how much the gems would sell for, but Ada suggested that he raise the starting price of each piece to more than 1,000 gold coins so that he wouldn't lose money.

Lin Yi did as Ida suggested, but he raised the price a little more. Each piece starts at 2,000 yuan, with no upper limit, and the auction ends after 24 hours.

After hanging the gem, Lin Yi and Ida set off again. They take on another task: to help an elderly woman find her lost pet dog.

The pet dog was eventually found by them in a small nearby park. The old woman was delighted and gave them a silver coin as a token of appreciation.

Twenty-four hours passed in a hurry, and the next morning, Lin Yi happily went to the auction house to check his lots.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that all the gems were sold out, and none remained.

And the person who bought these gems was actually the same person, but the other party did not disclose his name, which made Lin Yi confused.

He checked the amount of money sold, and each gem was sold for more than fifteen thousand gold coins.

Lin Yi exclaimed, "Oh my God, these people actually spent so much money to buy my gems!" Although he had learned from Ida that this fine gemstone was precious and valuable, he never imagined it to be so valuable.

"It seems that the auction was bought by that person after fierce competition." Lin Yi checked the transaction records and found that these gems had been repeatedly bid, and one of the blue gems was actually bid three hundred times, which shows the fierce competition.

Lin Yi smiled secretly in his heart: these gems were bought by him with ten gold coins, although it took three days, but in exchange for more than 100,000 gold coins, this transaction is really cost-effective.

He even had an idea that he would stop fighting monsters and complete tasks, and just make money as a businessman here, which was enough for him to live for several lifetimes. However, he knew in his heart that this world was a simulated world, not a real existence, and he still had to return to his own world as soon as possible.

With so much money, Lin Yi immediately went to the puppeteer's house and purchased a thousand puppet warriors from him. Even though these were low-grade items in the inventory, they shocked the puppeteer, as no one had ever bought so many puppet warriors in his hands. He couldn't imagine what Lin Yi was doing with these puppet warriors, and he was also very shocked that Lin Yi actually had so much money. was a poor person before, but now he took out hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy puppet warriors, and the contrast between before and after was too great, making him think that he had recognized the wrong person.

With these puppet warriors, Lin Yi immediately synthesized them. Half a day later, he had ten high-ranking puppet warriors.

After Ada's identification, these puppet warriors were about level 60, which was already a very powerful existence.

Lin Yi asked Ada, "Do you think I, the puppet warriors, can kill the SSS-level boss?"

Ida pondered for a moment and then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be possible." Because the level of SSS-level monsters is at least one hundred and twenty, if the level of the boss may be about two hundred. ”

Hearing this level, Lin Yi was taken aback. He looked at his puppet warriors, and his previous confidence was gone. Obviously, not to mention SSS-level bosses, they are ordinary SSS-level monsters, and these puppet warriors of his are not opponents.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to keep trying." Lin Yi said helplessly.

In addition, he also knew that he could not completely rely on these puppet warriors, and only the improvement of his own strength was the last word.

The puppet warrior was just an auxiliary tool for Lin Yi, and only when he was truly strong could he be fearless.

So he decided to take the lead when he killed monsters, and worked hard to improve his strength and let his level increase quickly.

"Hopefully I'll be able to raise my level to 100 within a year, maybe then I will have a chance to kill that SSS-level boss."

Lin Yi was once again immersed in the world of monster killing and upgrading, a feeling he hadn't experienced for a long time. Fighting all the way from a low-level trumpet, gaining experience, and increasing the level a little bit, that feeling is actually very good, like watching your own children grow up little by little.

Of course, it's not an easy process. Even though Lin Yi now had ten high-level puppet warriors, he would still encounter danger from time to time. In order to gain more experience for himself, he always leads the way and rushes to the front of the team to fight monsters.

Ida reminded Lin Yi many times to pay attention to safety, but Lin Yi only wanted to raise his level as soon as possible. He felt that he was consuming too much time and wanted to finish the task earlier, so he worked very hard. He only sleeps very little sleep every day, except for eating, going to the toilet and sleeping, he uses it to fight monsters and upgrade.

Under this high-intensity upgrade, his level has also increased very quickly. Half a year later, he had successfully stepped into the rank of level sixtie, on a par with his high-level puppet warriors.

And Lin Yi has also adapted to life in the game world. His body is even stronger than the people who live in this world.

At the same time, he also mixed up his own name, and many people followed Ida to call him Mr. Lin. Whether it is the underworld or the white way, they all have great respect for him.

Even those terrifying monsters, after feeling Lin Yi's breath, were so frightened that they ran around, for fear that they would become Lin Yi's target.

As Lin Yi became more and more famous and his rank became higher and higher, he gained more and more wealth. Some local nobles also deliberately spent money to send women to slap him, hoping that he could become the personal bodyguard of these nobles, but Lin Yi refused.

He was so desperate to level up, not to deal with these nobles, but to kill those powerful monsters. Now in addition to upgrading and fighting monsters every day, what Lin Yi wants to do most is to go back to his villa in Sucheng to see Xiaomei.

"I don't know how Xiaomei is doing over there?" Lin Yi looked at the sky and thought to himself, "I haven't been back for almost a year, I think she may think I'm dead." ”

After thinking about it, he asked Ada, "Does time flow at the same rate in the game world as we do in our world?" ”

Ada's answer was yes. However, she told Lin Yi that there was a magic in this world that could turn back time, but she did not recommend Lin Yi to use this kind of magic because it would bring unpredictable harm to people's bodies. If you don't do it, you will be reduced to ashes in time travel.

Lin Yi was taken aback when he heard this. Of course, he didn't dare to make such an attempt, so he set himself a goal: he must complete the conditions within a year, and then leave the game world and return to his crash villa to meet Xiaomei.

It's not that he likes Xiaomei, but he thinks that Xiaomei is his good friend and is responsible for helping him take care of his villa.

He felt that he had left Xiaomei alone there for so many years, and he felt a little sad in his heart.

So in this way, time flickered and another half a year passed. Lin Yi's strength once again broke through the upper limit. This time he finally reached level hundred. Coupled with the wealth he had accumulated during this time, he already had a puppet warrior in the number of a hundred in his hands.

Now Lin Yi can basically walk sideways in the game world. Even the armies of the Human Empire did not dare to attack him lightly.

Unless it's those SSS-class monsters. However, these monsters all live in very remote areas, far away from the range of human activities, so they will not easily appear on Lin Yi's side.

After careful consideration, Lin Yi decided to embark on a journey to find SSS-class monsters. Naturally, his friend Ida had to accompany him, as the two had become inseparable confidants.

According to Ada's suggestion, Lin Yi came to the store to buy a large number of potions, and at the same time bought many magic scrolls at the auction house. Back at the inn, he synthesized these potions and magic scrolls, and obtained very high-grade potions and powerful magic scrolls that he used to deal with monsters and protect himself.

Since no carriage or caravan dared to go to that dangerous area, Lin Yi and Ida could only rely on their own legs to move forward.

In fact, they had thought about buying carriages, but those horses would become irritable after entering the area where the monsters were active, and might even break free from the reins and run away. Therefore, riding in a carriage and riding a horse is not a wise choice, and the most reliable thing is their own legs.

After being fully prepared, Lin Yi and Ada embarked on a journey. From their town, it takes at least a month to reach the area where SSS-class monsters are active, walking on two legs.

Luckily, they have the help of puppet warriors who are able to move quickly on their backs, and are tireless in their ability to move forward no matter what terrain they face.

After a week of hard work, they finally arrived at the location where SSS-class monsters gathered.

Lin Yi didn't go to fight immediately, but hid in a relatively hidden place to observe the monsters here.

This terrain is a vast savannah, and there are some monsters with the head of a lion and a snake body.

Ida reminded Lin Yi: "These lion-headed snakes are highly venomous, so you must be careful. If you get bitten, I can't save you because I won't use toxin-removing spells. ”

Lin Yi nodded, deciding not to take the initiative this time, but to send a team of twenty puppet division warriors to hunt down these lion-headed snakes.

He wasn't sure what the strength of the lion-headed snakes were, so he decided to kill one first.

Soon, his puppet warriors surrounded the lion-headed serpent, and a fierce battle ensued.

The lion-headed snake is huge, standing more than 20 meters tall. Its tail was thick and powerful, and it defeated two puppet warriors in an instant.

However, with only one lion-headed snake, it was quickly overnumbered by twenty puppet warriors.

The sharp sword stabbed into its body, and the lion-headed snake let out a lion-like roar while spewing a large amount of poisonous mist from its mouth, trying to poison the puppet warriors to death.

However, puppet warriors are all mechanical and cannot be poisoned, so their toxins do nothing at all.

Eventually, with a scream, it was beheaded off by the puppet warriors.

Lin Yi saw that his experience bar had grown a lot in an instant, and he was excited: "Wow, so much experience!" ”

He was thinking, "If I kill a lion-headed snake with my own hands, will I gain more experience?" ”

But after thinking about it, he dismissed this idea again. Because he had just seen that the lion-headed snake would spew out a large amount of poisonous mist when he was dying, which made him unavoidable. Once you inhale a little poisonous mist, I am afraid that my life will not be saved.

So to be on the safe side, he decided to let the puppet warriors kill the monsters for him this time. It's okay to have less experience, it's more important to save your life.

As a result, the monsters of this grassland suffered, and their peaceful lives were shattered by the sudden intrusion of enemies.

Although they resisted, they were far from being the match for these puppet warriors and would soon be strangled.

Lin Yi and Ida followed leisurely, picking up items dropped by monsters. Although the number is not large, for Lin Yi, he is already very satisfied, because he mainly wants to get experience, not these items.

As the monsters in this area were cleaned up, Lin Yi's level was also raised, from level one hundred to level one hundred and four. After that, they crossed the steppe, and a large river appeared in front of them, and the water was so fast that it was impossible to swim through.
