Cyberserk & Vampiress

Gluttonous My Precious

The duelists did not stray far and decided to have a quick duel at the door of the establishment. The tall swordsman clarified the details of the duel.

"I'll take off my armor. No need to waste the durability of our equipment. My brother and I are constantly gaining experience and dueling with each other. It's a common practice in this place. I have 2498600 experience points. 249 gold coins you will give to Naruto," the swordsman said.

"250 gold coins. 8600 experience points can be valued at one coin," replied Den. "Swordsman Borg I challenge you to a duel."

In the next moment, the two warriors were in the dueling arena. On a stone bench to the side stood a blond boy, giving his brother a thumbs-up. Dan was ready for this ending to his deal. Everything has to be paid for. Death must be paid for. Raven put the unpleasant thoughts out of his mind and drew his sword. When it was time for the fight Raven quickly landed several precise blows to his opponent's body. Borg removed his armor and met the pain with a calm expression on his face.

The game was favorable to the new entrants. Pain is a sensation. All sensations had different qualities and degrees in this world. During contact with an opponent, the pain of wounds could be reduced if one wore armor. Heavy armor reduced the pain sensation almost completely. But this armor required a special class or brought a penalty to the Speed attribute.

The swordsman Borg's body fell to the stones of the arena and Dan immediately found himself at the door of the Green Tail establishment. Naruto paid no attention to him and quietly gathered the swordsman's belongings from the ground. Dan opened his inventory and wanted to pick up 250 coins from the gold cell. A bag of money appeared in his hand. Raven waited until the blond guy had picked up all the items and handed the young man the experience fee.

"Good deal. I'll be glad to do business with you in the future," Dan said calmly.

"You won't reveal your secret, will you? What do you need the experience for?" Naruto quickly put the bag of coins away in his inventory.

"I said enough, Naruto. Swordsman Den is not interested in the experience. Experience matters to the aristocrat Den," Raven smiled. He had already thrown all the experience into the artifact and was glad to see that Precious's level had risen to 26. But he needed to upgrade the ring to level 31. Then it would give an additional +1 point to each attribute.

[My Precious. (Ring, Rank 6 - Epic).

Level 26 - Level 100. Developed: 2900/2563000]

A man came out of the door and shook his head.

"Naruto, your brother is trying to do things his way again. There should be order in our squad," the stranger tried to look angry.

The blond guy with no mustache on his cheeks grinned at the accusation and replied with a smile on his face. This kid was very good at conveying the lifestyle of the relentless little anime hero.

"We didn't break the order of the squad. There are no rules about exchanging experiences for gold. 250 gold coins, Captain," the blond tapped his chest and laughed. "Now we'll buy two sets of great armor and we can s*******r level 12 monsters in peace. This guy is cool and rich. I like his approach to business. People should help people."

"Baron Raven, our squad has a proposition. Are you interested in getting 50 million experience points? Our squad is willing to trade that number for 7,000 gold coins," the representative of the group of people tried to make the offer in a calm and confident tone. It worked.

A solid man imagined himself a member of a solid organization. But to Dan, the grouping of human players meant nothing.

"I'm not interested in 50 million experience points. I've already paid for two and a half million experience points. I have no desire to lose my reputation by my participation in doubtful deals. Your offer demonstrates your doubt in the words of the aristocrat Grossroads. It is an insult to the city. I want you to convey my words to your acquaintances and friends. For each duel challenge I make, the insolent's reputation with Grossroads will be lowered by 1 point. Don't mess with aristocrats and the laws of Grossroads. See you later, Naruto. I wish you and your brother good luck on your missions. When I need experience I'll find you," Dan walked down the street towards another place where a large group of people could be found who continued to play informal gangs.

A soft scolding sounded behind the young man's back, and soon the man caught up with him.

"We weren't prepared for such conditions. Why waste time with your rousing speeches in a new place? I am authorized to offer a deal on your terms. It's a bit amusing to value game experience in rabbits, but I agree that it's a fair price for a resource that has lost value," the man made a pleasing message to Dan. "We are willing to trade the experience for your gold and on your terms."

"It's nice to hear from people who are willing to listen to the voice of a more experienced player," Raven smiled. "Can your people speed up the transaction process? I have no trouble calling a couple of dozen men to a duel. But I respect to order. You can duel each other to get immunity for twenty-four hours. I'm willing to meet with one representative and pay 4750 gold coins for 47500000 experience points."

"That's a good condition. It works for us," grinned the human representative. "Can you wait outside for a few seconds? Drogger is a great orc and we respect the place. Our fighters hold duels outside in that park over there. Dueling is the only way to exchange combat experience in this place. Damn Karma strangles like a noose," the old fighter grimaced.

"Fine, I'll go to the park and gladly finish business with people who respect the Green Tail establishment," Dan smiled.

The man turned his face and looked at the young man with an unkind chuckle.

"You once refused to join Europa's squad and now your words sounded unpleasant. You said you were willing to help people."

"I'm willing to help people who are willing to live like normal citizens," Raven looked the man in the eye and made his stand honestly. "The title gives rights, but it also comes with a set of responsibilities. I'm sure clever and determined people will be sure to create a group of Europa in the Adventurers Guild. I will respectfully deal with these citizens. I am not allowed to deal with members of informal squads. That is why I am not interested in the members of Europa Squad. I addressed myself to the visitors of a respectable establishment."

A few minutes later, Dan had two duels and was happy to look at the information about the epic artifact.

The Ring of My Precious was forged by the Grand Magister of Magic in ancient times. The reason for his passion for the hobbit folk is unknown. But legends hold many references to a wily trickster who could hide his true name!]

He gained new + 1 points to all attributes. The new level of the gluttonous artifact required ten million experience points! Dan chuckled when he thought that Tom would make good use of his time in the forge. Lots of new items needed to be made with durability that regenerated itself. A clone that makes good artifacts is better than a clone that preys on bad players.

Players g**g Antarctica ceased to sleep peacefully at night. There was a constant hunt for criminals.
