WTYTIAAN Chapter 200
by VolareChapter 200
A magical wandering merchant NPC appeared in Loresol City. His inventory refreshed with some amazing items and props. As long as you paid a small price in gold coins, you could not only buy the props but also gain experience.
In a way, it was like pay-to-win.
Players: This is the real daddy!
After emptying the small vaults of all the players in Loresol City in one go, Yan Yunqing’s level rose by two. If he could do this a few more times, he estimated that he could level up to eighty without any pain.
This was much faster than doing quests.
Tomorrow, he would go to the neighboring Bato Vita to set up a stall for another day. During the player faction war between the two main cities, intercommunication was not allowed. If caught, one would be directly imprisoned as a spy unless they defected on the spot.
If the players couldn’t come over, Yan Yunqing would take the initiative to go over. He was all about “if the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain.” If you wanted to harvest players’ leeks, you had to be flexible.
Looking at the extra gold coins in his backpack and the several empty slots after clearing out the trash, he felt much better.
He looked up and saw a familiar little figure on the street.
Yan Yunqing thought he was seeing things, but the little figure walked up to his stall, curiously looking at his empty display, and asked in a childish voice, “Wandering merchant uncle, what are you selling here?”
Standing in front of Yan Yunqing was a little girl wearing a thick, floral-padded cotton coat, with two small braids tied on her head. Her round eyes were clear, and her cheeks weren’t as plump as before, but her complexion was still pretty good. There was also a beautiful little butterfly embroidered on the hem of her clothes, showing how much her family loved her.
It was actually little Yuri.
Yan Yunqing was stunned. He didn’t expect to see little Yuri here.
When he first transmigrated, he escaped from Augreir Auction House and tried everything to get out of the Royal City. Because of a system task, he chose a safe place as a temporary foothold and accidentally stumbled into Sunset Village, which opened his journey to this other world.
If the players’ Newbie Village was built by Yan Yunqing single-handedly, then Yan Yunqing’s Newbie Village was probably Sunset Village.
The taciturn old Jason from the blacksmith shop and the lively and cheerful little Yuri left a beautiful memory for Yan Yunqing.
He cherished this memory very much, which was why he was willing to get involved in the old story of Sunset Village, peeling back the layers to restore the past of Karenna and Henry, who died to protect it. Then, he avenged them, infiltrating the Bato Vita Royal Palace to kill Fei Wu, and after escaping from Bato Vita, he went to Sigreat Academy.
Until he finally left, he couldn’t even say goodbye to little Yuri, because he thought they probably wouldn’t see each other again. He didn’t expect that after a year, they would meet again in the border city of Romunike.
It was just a pity that he was using Nolan’s identity now and couldn’t recognize and reminisce with the cute little Yuri. He didn’t know if she still remembered Brother A’Yan.
A year wasn’t long or short, but it was a long time for a child who seemed to change every day. Compared to herself a year ago, little Yuri had grown a lot taller, and her features had opened up a lot, making her look even more lively and beautiful. Plus, old Jason took good care of her, so the little girl looked very cheerful and healthy.
Looking at little Yuri’s big, blinking eyes, no one could harden their heart!
Yan Yunqing’s voice couldn’t help but soften a little. “What do you want to buy? I sell everything here. Maybe you want a sweet candy?”
As he spoke, he took out a jar of candies he had bought at Sigreat Academy before. He originally intended to buy them for Lillian, but Lillian still hadn’t finished her growth period, and he didn’t know when she would, so he might as well take them out now for little Yuri.
Anyway, Lillian also liked little Yuri, so he thought she wouldn’t mind. At worst, he would buy some more supplies for Lillian later.
He opened the lid of the candy jar and took out a fruit candy wrapped in pretty candy paper, placing it in front of little Yuri. “Here, try it. This candy is brought from Buma City. You’ll definitely like it.”
Little Yuri looked at the pretty candy placed in front of her and blinked, looking at the mysterious wandering merchant with some surprise. She hesitated a bit. “Uh, but I don’t have extra money to buy candy…”
Yan Yunqing was stunned and suddenly remembered that old Jason and little Yuri usually made a living by making basic farm tools and repairing them. Coming to Loresol City suddenly probably meant they couldn’t do their original business.
After all, even if Loresol City was poor, it was unlikely that there would be a shortage of blacksmith shops in the city. Moreover, the storefront and tools needed to open a blacksmith shop were not easy for ordinary people to obtain.
Although he didn’t know why little Yuri appeared in Loresol City, she was here, and the clothes she was wearing clearly showed that her family had put thought into it, so he could be sure that old Jason had come with her.
However, the commoners of Ermann Continent didn’t have such a thing as tourism. Only some mercenaries ran around to make money, and most commoners rarely left their hometown from birth to death.
However, old Jason and little Yuri appeared in Loresol City, so there was only one possibility. They had listened to his advice to leave as much as possible before he left, so they moved from Sunset Village to Loresol City.
Yan Yunqing felt a little emotional.
Old Jason was getting old, and little Yuri was too young. His son also died in Sunset Village. With all sorts of buffs stacked together, he was still able to make the decision to leave his hometown. It was really…
Brave?
Yan Yunqing pondered, feeling that this word wasn’t enough to describe old Jason.
“It’s okay, just consider it my treat.” Yan Yunqing said gently. When he was in Sunset Village, he liked to occasionally stuff a few copper or silver coins into little Yuri’s hands to buy candy.
The players who hadn’t left nearby heard this and looked at Yan Yunqing with shocked gazes, accusing him: This profiteer hadn’t been so kind when they were bargaining just now!
Yan Yunqing was calm. How could players compare to little Yuri? Little Yuri was so cute, and the players were so… Forget it, he couldn’t be too harsh on the leeks.
Little Yuri could feel the kindness emitted by the faceless wandering merchant. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still took the candy, saying sweetly, “Thank you, wandering merchant uncle.”
Yan Yunqing:.
“Cough, call me brother.” Yan Yunqing corrected. Although his Nolan identity card was two thousand years old, according to his age before transmigrating, he was only nineteen now!
Players: Stare—
Little Yuri was also obedient and immediately changed her address. “Thank you, wandering merchant brother.”
Yan Yunqing’s heart bloomed with joy, and he directly stuffed the entire candy jar into little Yuri’s hands. “It’s yours, just consider it a meeting gift from your brother.”
Players:???
Was this really the profiteer who was just selling them things so slyly?
“No need, wandering merchant brother, I’m grown up and I don’t like eating candy anymore.” Little Yuri said childishly, looking like a little adult. It was extremely cute. “Wandering merchant brother, do you sell defensive magic scrolls here? Do you have any cheaper ones? Or skills that can protect my grandpa?”
Little Yuri looked at Yan Yunqing expectantly. “I just heard the older brothers and sisters over there say that wandering merchant brother, you can buy anything here.”
Skills?
Yan Yunqing was stunned, only then discovering that little Yuri also had levels now. Although she was only [Lv. 5], it was still different from the ordinary little girl who had no level before.
Being able to level up meant that she had the talent to become a swordsman or mage, and it was even more difficult to awaken at the young age of seven. After all, it was easy for a golden baby to come out of a noble’s nest, but for a golden phoenix to come out of a commoner’s nest, it was one in ten million chance.
Yan Yunqing opened little Yuri’s panel and found that her talent was actually in magic, making him even more surprised.
It seemed that little Yuri might become the second mage to come out of Sunset Village. He hoped that little Yuri, who had left Sunset Village, wouldn’t become an insignificant victim due to the selfishness of villains, like Karenna, who was clearly talented.
Yan Yunqing rummaged through his skill list and found that he really didn’t have a defensive skill that could be learned at level five. After thinking about it, he took out a pendant from his backpack.
This was a very inconspicuous pendant. The light yellow crescent moon was tied with a silver string, looking as if it was a stone picked up randomly on the roadside and strung into a necklace.
This was also bought at Sigreat Academy. To be precise, it was bought by Robin, who was in charge of logistics supplies. It was one of the alchemy association’s new products, containing three defensive shields that could withstand attacks below level 50.
Those above level 50 could already be considered strong. In Sigreat Academy, only fourth-year students and above could basically reach this level. This defensive prop was quite practical in the outside world.
It was just that the appearance was too ordinary and wasn’t liked by the noble young masters and ladies of the magic academy. The swordsman academy generally disliked the shape of the crescent moon, thinking it was too childish and unwilling to buy it.
The alchemy association refined a batch of this defensive pendant, but couldn’t sell many of them, and were finally taken away by Robin at a low price.
Yan Yunqing had two sets of this pendant in his backpack, ten in a set.
However, he didn’t take this thing out to sell to players, mainly because the origin was too obvious. He was afraid that if he sold it in large quantities, the players would find out his identity at Sigreat Academy.
He couldn’t underestimate the players’ ability to dig deep into the plot.
However, it was no problem to give this pendant to little Yuri. Little Yuri didn’t have that ability, nor would she be idle enough to dig up his identity.
“This is a defensive prop that can resist three attacks. Since you’re cute, I’ll sell it to you for 10 gold coins, how about it?” Yan Yunqing shook the crescent moon pendant in front of little Yuri. The cute appearance immediately attracted little Yuri’s attention.
However, when she heard that it would sell for 1 gold coin, little Yuri’s bright eyes immediately dimmed. “I don’t have that many gold coins.”
However, Yan Yunqing’s asking price of 10 gold coins was already a bargain. This level of defensive pendant could sell for thousands of gold coins outside. If it was a sustainable rechargeable prop, the price would only be more expensive.
Yan Yunqing had expected that little Yuri couldn’t afford it. He didn’t speak and randomly issued a quest to the nearby players.
[Yuri’s Request]
Description: The little girl Yuri has relied on her adoptive grandfather since she was a child. For some reason, they moved from their hometown to settle in Loresol City. Unfortunately, the Bato Vita Empire declared war on the Romunike Empire, and Loresol City is in the center of the war! Yuri is very troubled by this. She wants to protect herself and her grandfather’s safety and wants to buy a defensive prop from a mysterious wandering merchant.
However, the price of the pendant is too expensive for Yuri. She saved up for a long time, but it’s still not enough. Therefore, she mustered up her courage to ask you for help, hoping you can help her buy the defensive pendant from the wandering merchant.
Quest Objective: Help the little girl Yuri buy the defensive pendant from the wandering merchant.
Quest Rewards: [Experience x100000], [Yuri’s favor], [Wandering Merchant’s favor]
(Note: After completing this quest, there is a chance to receive a follow-up quest.)
Players’ first thought: What does it have to do with me that this child can’t afford a pendant?
Players’ second thought: Wait? This experience?
Players’ third thought: Ah? There’s a follow-up quest???
Wait, could there be a hidden quest?!
“Is there anything else?” Yuri continued to ask unwillingly.
“This is already the cheapest and most suitable prop for you.” Yan Yunqing shook his head regretfully.
Yuri was a little discouraged. “Okay, thank you, wandering merchant brother, I…”
Before Yuri could finish speaking, the player closest to Yan Yunqing and Yuri did a carp jump, making an Er Kang hand gesture: “Wait!”
