Chapter 41: The One Thing About Returning Is Shopping the Store (Part 3)
Squinting his eyes and sizing up the building complex behind him for a while, he thought it was probably the latter. With a helpless shake of his head and a shrug of his shoulders, he continued walking back along the road. There was still a bit of distance from here to his home, and this area was quite isolated, making it difficult to get a ride.
Gu Mo didn't want to leave any obvious traces, so he decided to walk back at night.
Speaking of which, it was indeed time to start moving. He had been contemplating this matter for some time. Although his funds had suddenly increased by quite a bit, they hadn't reached a comfortable level for buying a house, so he had temporarily put it on hold.
But after this adventure, his funds unknowingly broke through to a seven-figure amount... Indeed, "Game Coins" are the least valuable, especially since they drop from defeating monsters. The faster and more he grinds, the more money he naturally accumulates.
And yet it can be cashed out for real use... That makes it particularly interesting.
It didn't take long for Gu Mo to return to his place. At the entrance of the neighborhood, he noticed that the security guard had been replaced by Uncle Zhang. After exchanging a few words, he learned that Old Ding was too old to handle the job anymore and had resigned a few days ago.
That's good too; at such an advanced age, it's better to relax at home and enjoy life...
Gu Mo didn't dwell on it, casually responding a few times. Mainly because Uncle Zhang, although one of the few people in the neighborhood who didn't like to gossip, was curious why he hadn't been seen for so long. This seemed like the first time in half a month he had seen him, and he couldn't help but ask about his nighttime job.
This gave Gu Mo a sense of urgency, reinforcing his determination to move out soon. This neighborhood really wasn't sustainable to stay in.
Back home, he checked to see if the Barrier Talismans and other traps he set before leaving had been triggered. Once he confirmed there was no issue, Gu Mo relaxed and stood once more in front of the mirror in his bedroom.
Skilled and practiced, he opened the store page that could only be used in the real world, checking the daily refresh. After all, he now held the largest sum since entering the fray, with three entire Golden Keys, naturally feeling quite wealthy.
First, there was the sign-in reward. Today, as usual, it was 2,000 Game Coins. For the current Gu Mo, these sign-in rewards were akin to receiving a "Thank you for your patronage" note, with no real difference.
But he wasn't counting on that anyway, immediately checking the daily special refresh.
As usual, three brand-new items appeared in sequence. The first was a giant sword that looked very large and heavy. The blade was deep black with a faint red glow. Below, the words "Profound Iron Heavy Sword" were displayed, priced at one million system universal currency, not even requiring a key to purchase.
—Could it be the one belonging to Dugu Qiubai?
Gu Mo pondered, slightly hesitating, but ultimately decided to pass on it. If it was the "Nine Swords of Dugu" from Dugu Qiubai here, he would be determined to buy it. But just having this Profound Iron Heavy Sword... its utility wasn't significant for him.
If the price was lower, he wouldn't mind buying it for collection or as spare materials. But with a direct price of one million, removing all his current assets in one go wasn't realistic. This Profound Iron wasn't a particularly magical top-tier material either, so he wisely chose to give it up.
The second item was a shiny Skill Badge—
"Sword Control Technique (Shushan Immortal Sword Sect)."
The price was one Silver Key.
Gu Mo's eyes instantly lit up, his mind conjuring an image of a white-clad, ethereal Sword Immortal, and that face was his own... Being strong is about the current version, but being handsome is for a lifetime. Isn't a Sword Immortal both handsome and strong?!
But without rushing into a decision, he looked over at the third item.
There was a small crystalline fragment, a translucent pale pink hue, yet it seemed to glow with a vivid blue-violet light, as if containing strong Spiritual Power.
—"Four Souls Jade Fragment."
—Priced at one Bronze Key.
