Online Game: I Became Rich by Running a Stall

Chapter 3: Frenetic Acquisition of Rabbit and Pig Fur

In business, the most feared thing is having no capital.

Aurélien opened the recharge interface and began to top up.

In World, you can only recharge up to 1000 yuan at a time.

In his previous life, the difference between ordinary players and wealthy players was reflected in how much they spent on recharging.

Ordinary players: "How much have I recharged!"

Wealthy players: "How long have I been recharging!"

Aurélien didn't have these problems.

His total assets amounted to only 842 yuan and 50 cents.

It was still his living expenses for this month.

If he asked Valentin for the money, he definitely wouldn't give it to him now.

Aurélien didn't hesitate. With a determined look, he recharged 800 yuan, leaving 40 yuan for takeout later.

800 yuan was converted into 8000 gold coins.

Aurélien continued to set up a stall to buy rabbit fur and pig fur.

He shouted: "Limited purchase of rabbit fur and pig fur, double the price of the store. Brothers, no need to run back to the novice village, I’ll close the stall after buying!"

"Bro, why are you buying these? Don’t these two items say, 'No use, can be sold to the grocery store'?"

A player asked Aurélien, clearly suspicious.

No one is dumb, and Aurélien’s actions naturally raised their doubts.

Aurélien scratched his head and grinned: "I think they might be useful. I'll collect a bit first and see!"

"Really dumb and rich!"

"Maybe his brain's fried?"

"Who knows, just sell it!"

The advantage of setting up a stall in the wild zone became apparent.

Almost everyone rushed to sell their items to Aurélien.

Once it dropped, they sold it immediately, eager to offload it.

8000 gold coins, 2000 rabbit furs, and 2000 pig furs were quickly collected in just half an hour.

This was still because the rabbits and pigs respawned too slowly.

After collecting the last piece of fur, Aurélien quickly closed his stall.

He could have bought them for 1 gold coin each, but that would have slowed down the acquisition speed.

Now, Aurélien was racing against time.

He believed that soon, players would figure out the purpose of rabbit and pig fur.

After closing the stall, Aurélien didn’t return to the novice village.

Instead, he headed deeper into the jungle.

Wearing the merchant’s cloth shoes, Aurélien’s movement speed was about 30% faster than ordinary players.

In no time, he was far from the novice village.

The monster levels changed from the original level 1 and 2 (chickens, pigs) to level 4 and 5 wild boars, monkeys, and wolves.

The number of players decreased gradually, and monsters became more frequent.

Aurélien tried his best not to attract the monsters' attention.

But he was still blocked by a wild boar hiding behind a tree.

[Blocked Wild Boar: Level 3]

[Health: 200] [Can be tamed]

There was basic information above the blocked wild boar’s head.

Aurélien, being only level 1 with 100 health, didn’t dare to let it touch him.

"Summon!"

[Ding, thug summoned successfully!]

A dark wind special effect appeared before Aurélien.

The ground cracked open, and a rotten hand slowly climbed out.

With a clang.

A zombie with long nails leaped out and stood in front of Aurélien.

[Centennial Zombie (Purple Thug)]

[Level: 1]

[Attack: 30]

[Defense: 30]

[Speed: 13]

[Passive Skill: Zombie Body (Restores 1% of health per second) (Level 1)]

[Passive Skill: Zombie Claw (Has a chance to poison the target, deducting 1% health per second) (Level 1)]

[Passive Skill: Super Strength (Increases attack power by 10%) (Level 1)]

Though all the zombie’s skills were at level 1, the Centennial Zombie’s attributes were incredibly powerful.

Aurélien smiled in satisfaction: "Kill that boar!"

The Centennial Zombie hopped over to the wild boar and struck with its claws.

[Ding, Blocked Wild Boar poisoned]

-20, -2.

Two numbers appeared above the wild boar's head.

Clearly, the wild boar had high defense.

The level 3 wild boar was indeed tough.

The blocked wild boar began to attack the Centennial Zombie.

It hit the zombie with its tusks.

It caused 15 damage.

Keep in mind, the Centennial Zombie only had 150 health points.

The Centennial Zombie had a health recovery skill, and the next moment, it restored 2 health points.

Although there was a two-level difference.

Thanks to the Centennial Zombie’s three passive skills.

When it had only 10 health left, it barely defeated the blocked wild boar.

With the next strike, the blocked wild boar gave a sad cry and collapsed.

[Ding, congratulations on killing the blocked wild boar]

[Experience gained: 200] [Gold coins gained: 4]

[Wild Boar Skin obtained: 1] [Equipment obtained: Wild Boar Skin Armor]

The experience bar increased significantly.

However, Aurélien wasn’t pleased. If he remembered correctly, the destination was still far away.

If he encountered more monsters on the way, it would be troublesome.

Should he wait for the zombie to recover before setting off? That would waste too much time.

Time was money.

Just as Aurélien was feeling frustrated.

Two surprised voices sounded: "Wow, bro, what is this thing?"

"A zombie? That's awesome, is it a pet?"

Two burly players approached, unafraid of the terrifying appearance of the Centennial Zombie, and curiously observed it.

Their IDs were:

I Love Eating Pig’s Trotters.

I Love Pig’s Intestines.

Clearly, they were friends in real life.

Both of them had reached level 5 and were grinding nearby.

World only opens the PK feature after level 10.

Aurélien wasn’t afraid of them and said with a smile: "Just lucky!"

The two players looked envious.

They exclaimed, "Bro, you’re really lucky. Did you just drop an item? We’ve killed dozens of blocked wild boars and haven’t gotten any equipment!"

"Yeah, good luck."

"Bro, you’re level 1, want us to take you to grind?"

"Yeah, do you want to join us?"

Aurélien looked at them speechlessly. They were really friendly: "Thanks, but I don’t want to grind!"

"Huh? There are people who don’t want to grind?"

"Such a strange person!"

They might have their own reasons, or maybe they genuinely wanted to make friends.

But Aurélien’s goal in this game was clear: to make money.

Seeing their disappointed expressions, Aurélien suddenly said: "Hey, can you take me to the entrance of the Skeleton Cave? I’ll reward you with the Wild Boar Skin Armor I just got!"
