Early to bed, early to rise.
He put on his ultra-thin silver soft armor tailored by Mrs. Pasha over a white shirt, then put on the “Bird Beak Doctor” outfit.
He left the Dark Moon Building shortly past seven in the morning.
He had an hour and a half left before his scheduled meeting with Cass and the others.
Han Dong planned to seize this time to stroll alone on Central Street.
Han Dong is not a ‘social animal’. The only reason he’s teaming up with Cass and the others is because the Fate Space can only be accessed in a team.
On an ordinary day, Han Dong prefers to act alone.
He always felt that if he acted as part of a group, he would have to consider the ideas of others, creating a sense of ‘restrictions’.
“I have over two hundred copper coins on me; I could just take a leisurely stroll. ”
Just as Han Dong arrived at Central Street riding his undead horse, the watch-like device on his wrist vibrated.
“Hmm? Is it Cass?”
The moment he picked up, a slightly irritable and arrogant female voice came through.
“Didn’t I tell you that you could reach me anytime? How could you not contact me until it’s time for the Fate Space to open? … I hate owing people.”
Han Dong was taken aback.
He never expected that this high-ranking, aristocratic lady knight would take the initiative to contact him.
Actually, Han Dong remembered this debt of gratitude.
He was planning to use it when he was in trouble… but he didn’t expect Silist to be so impatient.
“I…l’ve been preparing for the Fate Space.”
“Where are you?”
“Central Street…”
The connection was cut off.
In less than two minutes, Han Dong felt a strong aura approaching from behind.
He had already envisioned a beautiful image in his mind: A blonde female knight riding a handsome white horse, dressed in exquisite fitted armor, however, he was stunned by the ‘beauty’ in front of him.
No white horse, no armor, no chains, and no light shield.
She was wearing a white woven dress with a figure-hugging silhouette, matched with a brown leather waist cincher.
The ‘waist cincher’ accentuated her waist and made her upper body more prominent, revealing Silist’s nearly perfect figure.
The length of the woven white dress barely covers above her knees.
The lower part revealed were her legs in black stockings and a pair of light brown thigh-high boots.
This vibrant yet slightly quirky attire, matched with Silist’s refined features and wavy blonde hair, attracted many gazes along the way.
“My lady knight.” Han Dong quickly bowed his head in salutation. “My full name is Vino Silist… on normal days, you can just call me Vino.” Vino Silist stepped forward and grabbed hold of Han Dong’s hand.
The frail and short Han Dong was led along, much like a brother being led by his sister, with no control over the situation….This is why Han Dong dislikes being accompanied by others.
“This should be your first time entering the Fate Space as an ‘Apprentice Knight,’ correct?”
“Yes…”
“The favor I owe you, I’ll return it with material goods… and I’ll also give you some reminders concerning the Fate Space.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong had a helpless expression on his face.
Who offers to return a favor that others don’t need yet?
Han Dong was just led along.
They arrived at the largest trading market in Central Street and under the guide of Vino Silist, they went beyond the common stall trading area towards the central building – [Trading Centre].
“There’s no need to look around those stall goods. The favor of saving my life is enough to exchange for a Fate Weapon.” “I already have a weapon.”
During the previous ghost incident.
Han Dong didn’t reveal the Plague Dagger in front of Vino.
Knight Vino was shocked!
“Don’t tell me that besides gaining two Fate Points in the novice event, you also gained a Fate Weapon? It must be Mr. Black White who gave it to you, right?”
“Actually, I got it in the novice event. During the escape from the Evil Spirits, I happened to bump into a hidden event.”
Vino Silist was just staring at Han Dong with wide eyes.
She had never heard of anyone gaining so much from the novice event… After all, the novice event is completely different from subsequent Fate events.
During the novice period, individuals do not possess any defensive abilities, and even time and opportunities to escape have to be wrestled from the hands of the ‘Death God’, let alone having spare time to deal with ‘hidden events.’
After a moment of silence, Vino asked.
Do you want anything?”
“Is there equipment that can increase ‘Moving Speed!?”
After a few days of studying and practicing, Han Dong prepared many different attack methods and ‘weird and quirky’ moves.
When fighting enemies, there was also Chen Li to assist him… The only deficiency is the limitation of this physical body, and the most limited aspect is moving speed.
Compared to other Apprentice Knights of the same rank, everyone runs faster than Han Dong.
If they encounter danger that they can’t confront directly, such as a ‘zombie wave’, the ability to ‘run away’ becomes especially important.
During this time, Han Dong has thought about increasing his moving speed through body replacement but quickly vetoed the idea himself.
The ‘Load Value’ that Han Dong has freed up was 35 points.
To increase moving speed, he must replace both legs… just a ghoul’s arm costs a load value of 22 points each, this 35 points doesn’t seem sufficient.
Moreover, Han Dong has plans for these extra load values and doesn’t want to arbitrarily attach two ordinary legs.
‘”Moving Speed’… Good idea. Your physical fitness indeed isn’t great… Follow me. I’ll buy you a pair of shoes.”
When entering the Trading Centre, Vino Silist directly presents the Knight Token.
The attendant respectfully acknowledges upon seeing the emblem of the knight’s crest – a white horse head crossed with two swords.
“Honorable lady knight, how may I assist you?”
“Bring me the records of the equipment that can increase ‘Moving Speed’ available here.”
“Certainly. This way, please!”
The Trading Center has thoroughly categorized all available items and equipment to help buyers select the items they wish to purchase according to their own needs, which is convenient and efficient.
The attendant led them to a private room and provided the item catalog.
The catalog had detailed records of equipment that could increase ‘Moving Speed’, and it’s not limited to footwear.
Once the attendant left, Vino, pressing one hand on the catalog, began to speak earnestly.
“A 2-star Apprentice Knight can exploit only a part of the effects of ‘high-quality’ Fate Equipment at most, don’t choose a high-quality piece that you can’t use.”
Vino quickly added: “I’m not penny-pinching. I just don’t want you to waste items.”
“Understood.”
This was Han Dong’s first time in such a Trading Centre, and he was very interested in the dazzling array of equipment.
Upon opening the catalog, Han Dong was immediately attracted by the thorough equipment descriptions.
Each page of the catalog had true-to-life illustrations of the merchandise and used different colors to mark the equipment’s quality. Each piece of equipment came with a detailed textual description underneath..
