"Ah! I almost forgot, dammit..."


    Xie Feng suddenly pped his forehead with the palm of his hand and cursed under his breath.


    Just now, Xie Feng had just expanded his inventory space to 200 slots so now he felt more relieved and confident for when he faced other monsters and high-ranked bosses since he wouldn’t have to lose valuable equipment. However, precisely for this reason, Xie Feng remembered something very important.


    Xie Feng quickly turned to the right instead of continuing to walk towards the southern gate of the city. At the same time, he sent a message to Xie Yao telling her that it would take about ten minutes to get to the right ce, to which she replied with a smile and told him not to worry.


    A few minutes after starting to run at full speed, Xie Feng finally arrived in front of a store that was crowded with yers all around. However, although the surroundings of the store were full of yers, none of these yers were entering the store.


    On the contrary, all the yers who were there, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, were attentively looking at their surroundings with bright eyes.


    Suddenly, seeing Xie Feng approaching, one of the yers approached with a smile and asked excitedly:


    "Brother, you are heading to the Valuation Store right?"


    Right. What Xie Feng was going to do right now was to identify the gold grade cloak that was in his inventory. In a few minutes or maybe a few hours, one of the three event missionsunched by the system, Dragon’s Revenge would officially begin and Xie Feng wanted to be in optimal condition for that moment since he didn’t know what he might face. After all, being a special event in which yers would fight for fame, glory, and the honor of their countries, it would probably not be so simple.


    Xie Feng didn’t care much about his country’s honor. What he cared about was benefits. As long as he and his loved ones were benefited, he did not care about honor. Honor for the country cannot feed a person, Xie Feng was very clear about this.


    "That’s right. There I go." At the yer’s question, Xie Feng casually nodded. However, his footsteps did not stop and he continued to slowly advance towards the door of the store.


    Seeing Xie Feng move forward, the yer quickly followed him and asked, "How about you let me identify the equipment for you? Instead of going to the store and spending so much money, I only ask for 30% of the original cost. How about it?"


    Xie Feng shook his head and declined without hesitation, "I’m sorry, but believe me it will be better for everyone if I go to the store."


    Then, without waiting for the yer’s reply, Xie Feng entered the appraisal store.


    Actually, all the yers who were near the appraisal store were yers who chose a lifestyle ss; among all the lifestyle sses, the one these yers chose was appraiser.


    At the beginning of the game, appraisers start at the beginner level, and to increase the level of their appraisal skill, yers could only identify equipment tirelessly. The higher the level of equipment sessfully identified, the more experience they would gain and the faster their appraisal skill would progress.


    Precisely because the beginning appraisers needed a lot of equipment at the beginning of the game since the appraiser ss was one of the most expensive but also the most lucrative in thete stages of the game, the price they asked in exchange for identifying other yers’ equipment was lower. Otherwise, which yer would risk their equipment failing when they could ensure sess in the appraisal store? You should know that an appraiser had only three chances to identify an object; if these three times failed, the object would be damaged.


    Xie Feng did not want to cause amotion showing the equipment in the inventory since what he wanted most right now was peace. That was one of the reasons why he rejected the yer. The other reason was that, as a novice appraiser, the chances of sess in identifying gold-grade equipment was at most 10-30%; Xie Feng did not want to lose the valuable equipment he had obtained after so much effort.


    Entering the appraisal store, Xie Feng saw a hunchbacked old man standing silently behind the counter. The old man’s eyes were closed and his breathing was even, however, Xie Feng knew that this old man was not really asleep as he appeared to be.


    "Excuse me, uncle. I’d like to identify some equipment." Xie Feng asked politely.


    The old man opened his eyes and looked at Xie Feng impatiently as if someone had awakened him from a beautiful dream he was having. This surprised Xie Feng a bit, since he had expected to see some fear or caution on the old man’s face after knowing that the city would soon be attacked by one or several waves of monsters.


    "Take it out." The old man said casually.


    Xie Feng nodded and took out the cloak from his inventory, then handed it to the old man quickly. Because the cloak was still unidentified, its appearance was no different from an ordinary piece of cloth with nothing to draw attention to it.


    The old man ced the cloak on the counter and began to touch the window of the system in front of him. After a few seconds, the old man asked: "Undead cloak, equipment with no level requirement, gold grade. It will be 20 gold coins, do you wish to proceed?"


    "Proceed." Xie Feng nodded without hesitation.


    Spending twenty gold coins to obtain equipment that could be auctioned for hundreds of thousands was definitely a good investment no matter how one looked at it. Besides, Xie Feng would use the cloak to increase his own battle power, which was the most important thing to him at the moment.


    <i>Swoosh!</i>


    Identifying the object was extremely simple. One only had to touch a button. Of course, although it was simple, getting to the level where everything seemed simple was not easy at all. Who knows how many years of his life this old man had to spend to achieve such results? Generally, people only saw the end but did not know how long the process was to reach the goal.


    The old man handed the cloak to Xie Feng, and Xie Feng put it in his inventory without looking at it. After hesitating for a moment, Xie Feng asked the old man:


    "Uncle, aren’t you worried?"


    "Worried? Me? Why should I?" The old man frowned and replied with a tone of difort.


    "Well, the city will soon be attacked by countless monsters and none of you are allowed to attack the monsters... Besides, your death is not equal to the death of us yers."


    "Ah, that?" The old man finally nodded in understanding, then, his eyes had aplicated shine in them as he sighed, "Young man, tell me something. When you hurt someone in your world, what happens?"


    "This..." Xie Feng blinked in confusion, not understanding the reason for the old man’s question, still, he replied, "Well, most of the time we have to pay for the medical expenses..."


    "Right. People’s actions have consequences. No matter how long it takes, we always have to take responsibility for our actions." After saying that, the old man closed his eyes again andpletely ignored Xie Feng.


    After a few seconds of silence, trying to understand the old man’s words, Xie Feng turned around and left the ce.


    About a minute after Xie Feng left the appraisal store, the old man’s eyes opened abruptly and he angrily mmed the counter:


    "Damn! That brat left without paying me my gold!"


    * * *


    Naturally, Xie Feng did not even remember whether he paid the gold for the cloak identification or not.


    After leaving the appraisal store, Xie Feng began to run toward the south gate. As there were thousands of yers running everywhere, he did not attract anyone’s attention.


    While running, Xie Feng opened his inventory and excitedly looked at the properties of the cloak.


    [Undead Cloak -


    Grade: Golden Equipment


    Requirements: Have killed 1000 undead.


    Description: A cape filled with negative spiritual energy. A powerful aura of death from the underworld surrounds it.


    Stats: Defense +50 / Agility +20 / Vitality +16 / Resistance to death effect +10%.


    Unique Skill: When you are attacked, there is a 5% chance of activating the Underworld Shadow effect which moves the user’s body into the shadows, avoiding all damage and not being able to be attacked for 3 seconds.]


    The cloak was a very rare type of equipment to find. Apart from its additional attributes, the stats it added were much lowerpared to other high-level gold-grade equipment. For this Gold Grade Undead Cloak, its stats were not very high, but the Undead Cloak’s "Underworld Shadow" skill made Xie Feng’s heart beat fast with excitement. Once activated, he would be in a type of condition that made him immune to all. physical attacks and had a 5% chance. Although it onlysted three seconds, those three seconds would usually be a life-saving opportunity in most fights and would allow him to reverse most battles.


    What’s more, the appearance of the Undead Cloak, which had previously looked like a piece of old cloth, hadpletely changed. What was in Xie Feng’s inventory was a long jet-ck cloak without any decoration and expelled a strange dark-colored miasma, giving it a mysterious and powerful appearance.


    Xie Feng could not wait to equip it. However, he knew that this was neither the time nor the ce to do so; so he just continued running to the south.
