Axie Online

Chapter 8 - Selling Health Potions

After ten minutes later, both of them fell exhausted. Whether it's Rudy or the instructor Swordsman. Even though none of them used any special skills in the game, but this battle was quite interesting for others to see. Whereas NPCs might be able to increase the stamina of their bodies in this world, but not for the players. The players' stamina will be measured by Solid Gear from the players' real body stamina in the real world.

This has made Axie Online players diligent in exercising to increase their stamina in the game. That's why the average Axie Online player has a fit and healthy body.

"To think that a newbie would be able to overwhelm me like this, let alone the change in tempo of the attack you did earlier, it really took me by surprise!"

The Swordsman instructor walked closer to Rudy without the slightest fatigue, it was completely different from Rudy's body which was covered in sweat.

“Many say Swordsman is only for someone who likes physical training and doesn't have a smart brain, even though we Swordsman do have a lot of tricks that can be used to attack the enemy. One of those tricks is the tempo shift you did back then, kid!”

The instructor walked up to Rudy and suddenly tapped him on the shoulder very hard. He laughed proudly as if in front of his eyes he saw a talented warrior worthy of the Swordsman Class Job.

“Thank you for the compliment, instructor!”

Hearing the instructor's statement, Rudy couldn't help but smile wryly while muttering that in his heart. There were three attacks from Rudy that hit the instructor's body.

And three of those attacks are tempo changes. Alternating between slow attacks and fast attacks, at least for Rudy the technique was more than enough to use in a one versus one fight like this.

Since childhood, Rudy often practiced swordsmanship with his late father. Rudy often uses a stick of wood or iron to train the instincts in his body.

Bruises and sprains have become commonplace for him.

“Looks like I found a great young man here. I'm sure you will become someone great in the future."

"There's no need to overdo it, instructor, it's just a technique that one can use after knowing the technique!"

“No need to be humble! A swordsman should be proud of his strength!”

The NPC Swordsman instructor couldn't help but smile as he put down the training wooden sword in his hand.

"[Congratulations, you got the title Advance Swordsman]"

Rudy was a little surprised after seeing a small blue notification panel that suddenly appeared in front of him. With curiosity, he immediately opened the title he has just gotten.

- - -

Advanced Swordsman

The title is obtained because of the praise from the NPC Swordsman instructor before getting the Job Class. Each attack using the sword will increase by 5%.

Fame +20 Strength +2 Dexterity +3

"Oi oi oi, I just started this game yesterday and now I have a lot of titles that increase my stat points. And now I have a passive effect?'

Rudy's body trembled slightly from the joy of getting another title that had a passive effect and affected his status points in a positive sense.

His smile seemed to be suppressed by Rudy, but the instructor saw the silver-haired youth's excitement.

After resting for about a few minutes, Rudy and the instructor stood up simultaneously. The instructor gave him a chain necklace that hung a small log symbolizing a sword pointing upwards. Rudy checked the status of the necklace the same way he checked the status of weapons and other items.

- - -

Token Swordsman Job Class

A necklace that can give the Swordsman Class Job to the player who wears it.

Can have Swing skill

Can have Sword Art skill (Passive)

Rudy immediately put the necklace on without the slightest hesitation. When the necklace was attached to his neck, the wooden sphere bearing the symbol of a sword gave off a faint yellow light and in an instant disappeared into thousands of shards and entered his body. Rudy started to hear [System Voice] with a transparent panel appearing in front of his eyes.

[Congratulations, you have become a Swordsman]

[Congratulations, you got the Swing skill]

[Congratulations, you have successfully learned the Sword Art (Passive) skill

Seeing this, Rudy immediately opened an explanation of the ability of the skill he had just obtained.

Rudy was so happy to see Swing and Sword Art skills | just seen earlier. After thanking the instructor, Rudy then stepped out of the room used to fight for the Swordsman Class Job.

In just a few minutes of travel, Rudy had appeared in the downtown part of the fledgling. Namely Livetuna City. He walks towards a convenience store that sells supplies and small equipment for survival in this world of Axie Online. There are various kinds of potions, accessories, costumes, armor, and small weapons, even some basic Emblem Skills that are the target of many players, unfortunately, the price of the Emblem Skill is quite expensive, which is 5000 Byl for each skill emblem.

For beginners, 5000 Byl is a very high amount.

Then due to the pile of assignments from the course lecturers, Rudy had to catch up on his assignments as quickly as possible. Because of that, he can't enter Axie Online continuously.

Even though it was a busy day with players, Rudy couldn't help but enter the shop and immediately walked over to the selling NPC in the form of a woman with short green hair. Rudy wanted to ask if he could sell potions in this shop, then the NPC replied that players could sell anything in this shop.

Rudy, knowing this, looked happy and immediately took out 20 bottles containing a red liquid, namely Health Potion from his inventory. He put everything on the wooden table. Several players in the shop who saw it were also surprised after seeing the 20 red glass bottles.

- -

A first-rate Health Potion, made by a beginner Alchemist who has a high affinity for herbs.

Can restore the player's lost 500 Health Bar points.

- - -

“How many Byl can I get for one bottle of this first-tier Health Potion?”

“20 Byls per bottle.”

Rudy suddenly froze when he heard the answer from this sales NPC named Nizie. Twenty Byls per bottle of HP Potion I which meant that if he sold them all he would get 400 Byl in an instant. That's pretty easy.

Just before Rudy wanted to sell all the Potions to Nizie, several players immediately approached him.

“Hey, I want to buy your Potion! Twenty-five Byls per bottle!”

"No, sell me the health potion bottles and I'll buy 40 Byl each!"

“I will buy 50 Byl per bottle!”

In an instant, suddenly the players in the shop immediately surrounded Rudy like ants over sugar. They jostled each other for the Potions sold by Rudy. In Axie Online, a player's Alchemist-made Health potion was quite a rare item. Especially for players who wanted to fight monsters, a side job class like Alchemist didn't really want that much. That's because side jobs, especially production classes, don't have special abilities to fight.

Except for Rudy, he gets the Alchemist side Job Class from the title he gets for picking Herb Leaf up to 500+ leaves non-stop. Alchemy skill level can be increased by using the skill as often as possible. All of that applies to other Production Class Jobs in Axie Online.

“One hundred and fifty Byls per bottle!”

A shout coming from the shop's entrance made all the players fighting for Rudy's Health Potion speechless - including the owner of the item. There was a male player, short blonde hair, white full-plate armor without a helmet, and a large two-handed sword on his back. The man gave off an aura that was quite frightening to the surrounding players.

Rudy also focused his eyes on the player and looked at the available data.

- - -

Name: Rynos

Job Class: Swordsman

Level: 34

Race: Human

- - -

Looking at his level, it's no wonder why the aura given off by the male player is quite heavy for the players here who are only level 10 to 14 on average. All the players who had surrounded Rudy now made way for Rynos who walked up to them all.

"How? Is the price I bought acceptable?"

With a tone that sounded haughty and condescending, Rynos threw those questions at Rudy. One hundred and fifty Byl per bottle is not a cheap price for a first-tier Health Potion, even Rudy's sword is cheaper than this one bottle of Health Potion!

Rudy could only swallow his saliva before hesitating to open his mouth.

"It's really paid for, right?"

"Relax, lots of witnesses here. I'm Rynos, promise to pay 150 Byl per bottle for that first-tier Health Potion! Are you satisfied?"

"Of course I'm satisfied!"

Getting the answer he expected, Rynos immediately brought up a special panel to make buying and selling transactions or bartering for fellow players.

Currently, in front of Rudy, a transparent panel reads.

[Rynos invites you to trade. Do you want to be accepted?]

Rudy touched the screen in front of him that said agreed, then pressed the tick symbol at the bottom of the screen.

Rudy sent 20 bottles of first-tier Health Potion, while Rynos gave Rudy 3,000 Byl to complete the transaction. After the transaction was completed, Rynos thanked him and left the shop and the players inside.

Immediately, the players again surrounded Rudy and asked if they still had stock in the Inventory. Unfortunately, all of Rudy's first-tier Health Potions were sold out by Rynos. This made the players very disappointed.
