"Of course not!"
Wei Kai shook his head firmly.
In his previous life, financial freedom might have been the greatest pursuit.
But in this world, financial freedom cannot guarantee a lifetime of worry-free living, nor can it even guarantee absolute safety.
Because there are still countless monsters and beasts in the wild, constantly waiting to attack human cities.
In these years, although human cities have been continuously strengthening their defenses and trying to protect their hard-won bases.
But monster invasions have never ceased.
In this era, everyone must face the threat of death, and no one is qualified to lie flat.
Even the lowest-level farmers and workers must contribute their labor to build the city they belong to.
As Battle Professionals, their responsibility is naturally even greater.
"Then your pursuit... what is it?"
Tian Xiaoling turned her face and asked him with curiosity.
"My pursuit..."
Wei Kai was silent for a moment, then said, "I hope to be able to farm more equipment and skill books, so that everyone no longer has to worry about these things..."
"I hope I can become stronger and explore more wilderness areas..."
"I hope to understand the origin of those monsters in the wild, and ideally, completely drive them out of our world... to restore the world to how it used to be."
"Everyone can live a safe and peaceful life!"
"..."
After hearing his words, Tian Xiaoling immediately fell silent.
She never expected that this young warrior, who had just graduated and was only level six... could say such words.
Distilled, these words were five characters—Fight for humanity!
What kind of...
"What, Ling Jie thinks it's impossible?"
Seeing her silence, Wei Kai smiled easily, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere.
"I believe you!" Tian Xiaoling suddenly said seriously.
"Ah?"
"Then thank you, Ling Jie."
Wei Kai was stunned at first, then smiled shyly.
While chatting and laughing, the two had already arrived in front of a shop, where the crowd was dense, and a large number of people surrounded the shop entrance, making it impenetrable.
Countless people wanted to squeeze in to find out, as if there was some treasure inside.
"This is our shop." Tian Xiaoling finally let go of his hand, then pointed to the shop and said, "Look, everyone wants to buy goods."
"So popular?"
Wei Kai was quite surprised, not expecting so many people to come shopping on the first day of business.
"Of course, because our things are cheap." Tian Xiaoling smiled faintly and said, "And we have a lot of good things in our shop, such as those recipes..."
"That's true."
After witnessing a recipe selling for 400,000 gold coins, Wei Kai had a sufficient understanding of the rarity of recipes.
The recipes here only sold for 200,000 each.
As long as they weren't fools, they would flock here and incidentally snatch up everything else.
"The things in the shop are almost sold out, let's go, let's restock."
Tian Xiaoling said, leading Wei Kai to the back of the shop and entering through the back door.
At this time, the situation in the shop was even more lively than he had expected.
Countless people were waiting for good news.
Just over ten minutes ago, Tian Xiaoling, as the person in charge of the shop, had just announced that the shop would be restocking.
Those who wanted to buy could wait here.
As soon as these words came out, countless people immediately swarmed in, filling the entire shop.
Seeing so many people still in the shop, Wei Kai's brows furrowed slightly.
"Ling Jie, why don't I give you my backpack?"
There were too many people here, and Wei Kai didn't want to show his face, much less expose himself.
"Alright, then give it to me."
Tian Xiaoling nodded, then took Wei Kai's backpack and handed him another backpack in return.
"You take this."
"Mm."
After Wei Kai took the new backpack, he looked at it curiously, and then his whole body froze.
Inside... there were actually over seven million gold coins!
"All the shop's earnings are here?"
He hadn't expected that Tian Xiaoling would casually give him a backpack containing such a huge sum.
This was all the shop's earnings since it opened.
Tian Xiaoling herself also had a 20% share, and she just handed it over to him.
"Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with the money... Pfft!"
After saying that, Wei Kai himself laughed.
All the goods in the shop were provided by him, and 80% of this huge sum was also his.
Even if he took all the money, it wouldn't count as absconding... Moreover, he wouldn't do that either.
Tian Xiaoling trusted him so much, how could he betray her trust?
However, this was indeed a huge sum of money.
He had to figure out how to spend it.
Money in hand, if not spent, was as good as not having it.
Moreover, what Wei Kai needed most now was not money, but to improve his combat power.
For him, only by quickly increasing his combat power could he realize the "All Item Drop" talent.
While farming small monsters could indeed yield good items, the gains were still far inferior to those from a boss.
The gains from killing ten thousand small monsters were not as good as a single Epic equipment dropped by killing one boss.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Tian Xiaoling finally finished with the shop's goods, then walked out with a hint of fatigue.
"You've worked hard, Ling Jie."
Seeing this, Wei Kai quickly offered comfort.
"No, how could it be hard?"
Tian Xiaoling immediately perked up and chuckled, "You're the one who works harder farming monsters in the wild, right?"
"By the way, I just found a lot of good things in the backpack... Quickly tell me, did you encounter a boss?"
"Huh, how did you know?"
Wei Kai asked, puzzled.
"Of course I know." Tian Xiaoling said proudly, "You're only level six, but you have level fifteen equipment in your backpack... How could it drop if it wasn't a boss?"
"Uh... alright, I did encounter a Wild Boar King."
Wei Kai honestly confessed.
"And then?" Tian Xiaoling's interest was piqued by the boss, and she asked with curiosity, "Did it drop any equipment? I heard that even the worst bosses in the wild can drop a legendary item, what was it?"
"It did."
Wei Kai hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
Then, he directly showed the ring, "Meng Huai's Power of Destruction."
Seeing the ring's attributes, Tian Xiaoling's eyes immediately lit up.
"What a top-tier piece of equipment!"
Although the attributes increased by the ring were not high, the attached affixes were simply too good.
The additional damage meant an extra attack frequency.
If combined with some special effect equipment, it could achieve a 1+1 > 2 effect.
If paired well, this ring was completely comparable to an Epic item.
"It's a pity you need to be level fifteen to wear it." Tian Xiaoling sighed.
"Yes."
Wei Kai nodded and said, "So... Ling Jie, do you have a way to quickly increase combat power?"
