Wei Kai's family background was not good.
After the game descended upon the real world, the wilderness was occupied by a large number of exotic beasts, and the surviving humans crowded into large cities, while also building towering city walls and magic arrays around the cities.
This was to protect the weak common people.
But the land within the city walls was, after all, limited.
When all the factories, farmlands, rivers, and roads were crammed into the city, the remaining space naturally became scarce.
To solve this problem, the authorities began to build a large number of underground cities starting from the second year of the New Era.
In the third year of the New Era, which was when Wei Kai was three years old, his family moved into the thirteenth underground level.
From then on, most of his life was spent underground, and he only returned to the surface to enjoy the rare sunshine and fresh air when he was in junior and senior high school.
Now that he had graduated from high school, if nothing unexpected happened, he would soon return underground to become an unknown ordinary warrior.
But all of this changed because of a talent.
"Student, please confirm it."
Just then, a gentle voice sounded in his ear, interrupting Wei Kai's memories.
He looked up and saw the mature big sister smiling at him.
"Mm, okay."
He nodded.
Although the official trading house was fair to all, with guaranteed credibility.
However, it was still necessary to confirm everything before the transaction ended, ensuring that the money and goods were cleared.
Wei Kai took out his phone from his pocket and scanned the QR code on the bank card.
The next moment, all the information on this bank card appeared on the phone screen.
Although he already knew how much money was in the card, that dazzling number still made Wei Kai's heart race.
Forty thousand gold coins were enough for him to buy a fifty-square-meter commercial apartment on the surface.
This way, he could bring his parents back to the surface and live under the sun again.
This was the life he had dreamed of before, and it was also the goal he had strived for his entire life.
But now, Wei Kai would not choose to do so.
"I want to buy equipment."
He raised the bank card in his hand and said with determination, "Spend it all!"
"What?" The female sales clerk was stunned on the spot.
Liang Shu, who was originally planning to leave, also stopped and looked at him with surprise.
"Young man, are you sure? This is not a small sum."
Liang Shu kindly reminded him.
"Sure." Wei Kai nodded.
"You're still a student, right...?" Liang Shu spoke again, just about to say something.
But Wei Kai shook his head: "No, I graduated today. I have the right to make my own decisions, and these two recipe books were given to me by my dad..."
His meaning was clear: these two recipe books were given by his parents, so they naturally gave him the right to use this money freely.
Hearing this answer, Liang Shu smiled bitterly and then waved to the female sales clerk.
"Xiao Ling, take him to the Heaven-grade counter."
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Ling nodded repeatedly, then made a gesture for Wei Kai to follow.
The Heaven-grade counter was the best counter in the trading house; every piece of equipment here started at Legendary-grade, and there were even Epic-grade items.
The price of each piece of equipment was also quite legendary... at least a hundred thousand gold coins or more.
Since Wei Kai said he wanted to spend the forty thousand gold coins in his card, he naturally wanted to buy the best.
A moment later, the two arrived at the Heaven-grade counter, and then, under the recommendation of the clerk, Wei Kai bought a set of Legendary-grade equipment suitable for beginners.
It cost a total of thirty-five thousand gold coins.
At the same time, he also bought several extra-large capacity backpacks, which had a full three thousand slots.
Another five thousand gold coins were spent.
In less than ten minutes, the forty thousand gold coins in his card were completely spent.
Looking at the empty bank card, Wei Kai couldn't help but sigh.
"What, regretting it?" The mature big sister asked gently.
"No." Wei Kai shook his head: "I just feel... spending money is truly awesome!"
"..."
Xiao Ling was stunned on the spot.
Spending money was indeed awesome!
For Wei Kai, these forty thousand gold coins were just money exchanged from two recipe books, and these two recipe books were dropped incidentally when he was grinding White Rabbit.
There was no cost whatsoever.
With the "All Item Drop" talent, he could drop a large number of valuable items by just grinding any monster.
Earning another forty thousand gold coins was not difficult at all.
What's more, the equipment he bought was for better monster grinding, which was equivalent to an investment in himself.
How could he regret investing in himself?
Investing in himself was to improve his combat power, to grind more monsters, and to drop more treasures.
This was the path he wanted to take.
"Oh, by the way, can I call you Ling Jie?" Wei Kai asked with a slight smile.
"Of course." Xiao Ling nodded with a smile.
"Ling Jie, may I ask which monsters dropped all this equipment on me?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What, do you want to go fight them yourself?"
"If I can grind a set, will you buy it?" Wei Anping retorted.
"Of course we will!" Xiao Ling nodded very affirmatively, then added, "We'll take as many as you have!"
"Really?"
Wei Kai was quite surprised, feeling as if he was looking at a generous fool.
Take as many as I have?
I can sell until you go bankrupt!
Of course... saying is one thing, but he wouldn't actually do that.
After all, selling a large number of top-tier equipment too easily exposes oneself.
If he accidentally revealed his talent, it might attract unnecessary trouble.
Wei Kai was not foolish.
"Really." Xiao Ling smiled and said, "You've bought forty thousand gold coins worth of equipment, you're already our distinguished guest, so we'll give you a free 'Drop Guide'."
"Oh? Then thank you very much!"
Wei Kai was just wondering where to grind monsters next.
With this guide, he just needed to choose the monster with the best drops and grind it relentlessly.
After leaving the trading house, Wei Kai first found a rice noodle shop and ate a bowl of rice noodles.
While slurping his noodles, he checked the beginner equipment on him.
The greatest effect of this set of Legendary-grade beginner equipment was not the added skills or increased attack and defense, but rather the significant increase in his basic attributes.
The meaning of basic attributes was very important.
Combat attributes such as attack, defense, and resistance in this world were directly linked to attribute points.
Only when attribute points were high did attack and defense become meaningful.
As a level two beginner, his basic attributes were very low.
Each level only increased the five basic attribute values by one point, along with five free attribute points.
However, in most cases, these free attribute points were not allocated.
Because before determining their specialization path, most people dared not allocate them randomly, as making a mistake would be troublesome.
If they wanted to reset their points, they would have to pay a huge price.
Only those who had determined their training path from the beginning, or those whose families were very wealthy and did not care about the cost of resetting points, would allocate points without hesitation.
Wei Kai had not allocated any points either, so his basic attribute points were very low.
The three most important attributes for a warrior: Strength, Agility, and Constitution, had not exceeded ten points.
But this set of beginner equipment on him provided a full twenty points in all attributes, equivalent to gaining twenty levels!
Not to mention the other miscellaneous buffs.
One could only say... it truly lived up to its Legendary-grade equipment status!
