Chapter 3 Revival Ring

James quickly stood up, "Mr. Johnson, Alan is watching the promotional video to better understand the game."

"And I got two Silver Coins today. How about I give one to Alan?"

"No." John said coldly, "In the game, if you fall behind even a step, you'll always be behind. You won't be able to keep up later."

James wanted to say something, but Alan raised his hand to stop him.

"James, let it go."

"But your sister still needs money for surgery, and without a job..."

"Don't worry, I can earn the surgery money."

Alan stood up and turned to leave.

He walked out of DreamChase Club.

Alan felt a sense of relief. In his previous life, he had wasted too much time here, putting too much effort into collecting game currency.

James chased after him from the club. "Alan, there's $20,000 on this card. Use it for now. When I earn more money, I'll give you some more to help cover Mary's surgery costs."

Alan was quite moved. James Smith, Robert Williams, and Michael Brown were his three best brothers.

They were also the three who had helped him tirelessly when he was down and out in his previous life.

"James, leave DreamChase Club. Let's start our own studio and be our own bosses."

James was stunned for a moment. "Alan, if you say so, I'll definitely agree, but your sister..."

"I understand what you mean. Just give me three days. In three days, I can earn the surgery money from the game."

Alan's eyes were resolute. Even if he didn't have a superhuman talent, he could still use his memories from his previous life to earn his sister's surgery money through the game.

"Alright." James didn't doubt Alan. "I'll call Robert and Michael to join us."

"Alright."

James went back to DreamChase Club and immediately resigned.

He resigned without any hesitation.

He wouldn't get a penny in compensation.

But it didn't matter.

He believed in Alan.

That's what homies are for!

Robert and Michael were not in Tideport at the moment, but James had already messaged them, and they both said it was no problem at all.

Alan and James went to the Ragnarok login device store and spent $20,000 to buy two game pods.

After that, they went back to the rental apartment.

Alan's sister was in the hospital, and he didn't go to see her.

It wasn't that he wasn't worried, but Alan knew that the most important thing right now was to make money.

"James, when you enter the game, level up first. Don't rush to Central City until you reach level ten."

"Got it."

Alan re-entered the game.

Ragnarok was directly bound to a person's iris and DNA, so switching login devices wouldn't create a new account; it would still be the original account.

Back in the game, Alan continued to hunt Red-eyed Rabbits.

Five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"9998."

"9999."

"10000!"

"At last, it's enough."

With ten thousand Red Eyes, he could finally submit the quest.

Back in the novice village, Alan found the village chief.

He first accepted the quest to collect Red Eyes, then submitted the ten thousand Red Eyes.

"Great adventurer, you truly are a person of remarkable perseverance. I will give you a special reward."

The old village chief, Daniel Taylor, smiled at Alan with great satisfaction.

[You have completed the Red Eye quest. Reward: Experience Points +1000, Silver Coin +5, Skill: Normal Attack Power Increase +1.]

"Learn the skill."

Alan learned the skill without hesitation.

[Normal Attack Power Increase (Passive Skill): 1 Star.]

[Effect: Increases your normal attack power by 5%.]

[Cooldown: None.]

[Consumption: None.]

[Proficiency: 0/1000.]

Fantastic!

"Brave adventurer, your perseverance is unparalleled. If you can slay ten stage bosses, I will give you an unexpected reward."

Alan was taken aback. 'Ten bosses? What kind of outrageous promotion task is this?'

He had thought there might be a follow-up to this quest, but he hadn't expected it to be so extreme.

[Daniel has issued you a new quest: Slay ten bosses in the novice village. Quest penalty: Removal of your skill "Normal Attack Power Increase." Quest reward: Unknown. Do you accept?]

"Accept!"

Slaying bosses aligned perfectly with his upcoming plans.

To make money, he would inevitably need to consider slaying bosses.

Leaving the novice village, Alan headed straight to the territory of the level-10 Twisted Treant.

He needed to level up first; otherwise, his attack power and speed wouldn't be sufficient to slay the bosses.

[Twisted Treant (Normal): Level 10.]

[HP: 1900/1900.]

[Attack Power: 32.]

[Skills: Whip of Twisting Vines; Revival.]

Alan raised his hand, and an arrow flew out.

The Twisted Treant's health bar showed "-424."

After hunting Red-eyed Rabbits, Alan's health had reached over 21,200 points.

Although his attack power couldn't break the Twisted Treant's defense, the true damage from the passive skill, the Hand of God's Retribution, was not to be underestimated.

With the monster's 1900 health, it would only take five arrows.

[You have slain the Twisted Treant. Experience points +90.]

A satisfied smile appeared on Alan's face. The experience reward for killing a higher-level monster was indeed generous.

Normally, killing a regular Twisted Treant would only give ten experience points, but now, it gave a full ninety points.

With the 1000 experience points from the previous quest reward, Alan only needed to slay twenty Twisted Treants to level up.

Moreover, the chance of obtaining treasures was also increased when killing higher-level monsters.

[You have slain the Twisted Treant. Experience points +90.]

[You have slain the Twisted Treant. Experience points +90.]

[You have leveled up to level 3. Free attribute points +5.]

Without any hesitation, Alan allocated all the free attribute points to attack speed.

His original attack speed of 0.73 increased to 0.83.

After slaying twenty Twisted Treants, a piece of equipment finally dropped.

[Revival Ring: Normal.]

[Requirement: Level 10.]

[Effect: Restores 2 health points per second.]

[Durability: 100.]

'A ring!'

Alan was surprised. Rings were the rarest items to drop in Ragnarok.

However, the effect was practically useless to Alan.

Restoring two health points per second was a very weak attribute.

But even if it was useless to him, Alan believed someone would be willing to buy it.

With this in mind, Alan immediately listed the item in the auction house.

He chose the bidding mode, with a starting price of $500 and a bidding time of five minutes.

If he were in a more advanced novice village, Alan would have listed it for $10,000, as guilds vying for early advantages would naturally pay a high price.

Five minutes passed.

[Player Walter Parker has purchased your item.]

[Player Walter Parker has requested to add you as a friend.]

"Endless Conquerors?"

Seeing this prefix, Alan was a bit surprised.

Endless Conquerors was a top-ten guild in the Jinse Empire, and such a group shouldn't be entering the game this late.

Walter: [Ice King, can I add you as a friend? May I ask if you got this Revival Ring from a quest? I'm willing to pay for the information.]
