Chapter 8 Chapter8-I Want Ten Thousand of These Items!
John didn't use the Uncommon-tier Tear right away but instead contacted the player called "White Feather" again.
"Hey, buddy, I just tried it out, and this stuff is really useful! Can you help me get some more 'Silver Tear'? I need a large amount, as much as you can get!"
It didn't take long for White Feather to reply: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to, but it's really troublesome to obtain this stuff. I have to complete a series of tasks given by the priest to get just ten drops."
John didn't give up and continued to inquire: "How long would it take for you to get 100 drops?"
White Feather replied: "100 drops? Probably three to four hours... That's if I do nothing else and just complete the priest's quests, but..."
Seeing this message, John's heart sank. If it took three to four hours for 100 drops, the efficiency was too slow...
However, John noticed the last two words "but..." from White Feather, and hope reignited in his heart.
He quickly asked: "But what?"
"But if you're willing to spend money, I can significantly increase efficiency because many of the priest's quests can be completed quickly just by spending money," the other party replied.
Then, the other party added: "If there's no limit to the amount of money provided, I could probably complete a round of quests in about ten minutes and obtain 100 drops of Tears... But in this case, it would cost about 2 to 3 gold coins just to complete a round of quests. It's not worth it!"
After hearing this message, John's eyes lit up.
"Money is not a problem as long as you can provide me with enough Tear."
John had observed that, in the early stages of the game, only "Silver Tear" was available as an item to enhance experience gain efficiency.
If he could get enough Tear, his leveling efficiency would increase significantly!
"Ten minutes for 100 drops, that's 600 drops per hour. Can you give me 10,000 drops in three days?"
"10,000 drops? Are you going to drink it?" White Feather was shocked.
"I have a use for it. Don't worry, I'll cover all your expenses for completing the quests, at the rate of 3 gold coins per 100 drops. So, for 10,000 drops, it's a total of 400 gold coins, right?"
"I'll pay you a 300 gold coins deposit for you to do the tasks. When you deliver the 10,000 drops to me, I'll give you the remaining 100 gold coins."
John's words left White Feather on the other side stunned for a long time.
According to the exchange rate of 200,000 real-world currency per 100 gold coins, this boss had just spent a whopping 800,000 dollars in cash! What a purchasing power!
John saw that the other party hadn't replied and thought he might have pushed too hard.
So, he sent a message asking: "What's wrong? Is three days not enough?"
White Feather snapped out of it and quickly replied: "No, no, no, three days is enough. Since you've already given the money for the quests, it's doable."
"Good."
Without hesitation, John immediately signed a contract with White Feather.
In the game, contracts can be signed through the trade association.
In large transactions, both parties can pay a small fee to sign a contract.
If either party breaches the contract, they will be punished by the game's trade association.
So, unless someone doesn't want to play the game anymore, no one will break the contract.
After finishing the communication with White Feather, John closed the trading interface and applied the Uncommon-tier "Silver Tear" he had refined to his forehead.
Although the effects of the items didn't stack and the Uncommon-tier instantly replaced the Common-tier effect, John didn't mind.
What he wanted was efficiency.
After applying it, John felt even more relaxed and walked straight into the twisted stone door.
...
After a while...
[Ding, you have been killed.]
[Due to your 'God Slayer' class feature, being killed by a god-level BOSS will grant additional rewards.]
[Exp Points +130,000]
[Gold Coins+60]
[Due to the effect of Silver Tear (Uncommon grade), the experience you gain is increased.]
[Exp Points +260,000]
...
Today's first death.
John looked at his attribute panel with satisfaction, confirming that his current Exp gain rate was three times the original.
Now, he could more confidently "go die"... oh, no, more confidently challenge The Devil.
...
[Ding, you have been killed.]
[Due to your 'God Slayer' class feature, being killed by a god-level BOSS will grant additional rewards.]
[Exp Points +140,000]
[Gold Coins+60]

[Exp Points +280,000]
...
[Ding, you have been killed.]

[Exp Points +150,000]
[Gold Coins+65]

[Exp Points +300,000]
...
An hour later, the bonus effect of Silver Tear wore off.
John had reached level 30.
If he had been leveling up at his previous rate, he probably would have had to work for several hours to reach level 30. This made John very satisfied.
He was looking forward to having 10,000 "Silver Tears" in three days. If they were all condensed into one drop, what would the leveling speed be like then?
But having White Feather alone help him get "Silver Tears" was still a bit slow in terms of efficiency. If only there were a way to find more "Silver Knights" to help him get Silver Tears, that would be great.
...
After fighting until evening, John had reached level 32.
At this point, he saw his attribute panel showing that he had a visitor in the real world. This made him temporarily give up on leveling up and log out of the game.
The holographic chamber opened, and John went to the front door. Through the peephole, he saw it was the delivery girl who came to meet him.
He opened the door, and Emma excitedly raised the food in her hand, smiling, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I brought you something to eat!"
John glanced at it and asked, "Where did you buy it... no beer tonight?"
Emma entered the room and said, "I didn't buy it, I made it myself! No more beer tonight, I drank too much last night, and I haven't recovered yet... I didn't even work today because of it! It's all your fault! I couldn't even stand straight today!"
John looked at Emma.
The weather was getting warmer, and the curvy beauty in front of him was wearing very light clothing.
This made John feel a bit excited.
He grinned wickedly, "I still have plenty of wine in my fridge... are you sure you don't want any?"
Seeing John's expression, Emma was scared and quickly covered her chest.
This action made her key areas in the tank top she was wearing even more gathered.
She nervously said, "I-I didn't come here for that... Didn't you say I could come here to play games?"
This reminded John.
He touched his chin and said, "Oh, I forgot to buy you a holographic chamber today."
"How about this, we'll go buy one tomorrow during the day, and you can pick one you like."
Emma lowered her fair-skinned arm and asked, "Really? Isn't this stuff expensive? I can choose the model I like?"
John remembered that he still had over two million dollars in his bank account and laughed, "Of course, I always keep my word."
Emma asked again, "Don't you need to level up? I know other professional players in this game are always in the game day and night... How come you seem so relaxed?"
John smiled and said, "Anyway, I need to wait for an item, and that item won't be available until three days later, so it's fine to take a break now."
"Oh, I see," Emma nodded, seemingly understanding. Then she timidly said, "If you really want to drink... we can... drink a little? But I absolutely, absolutely won't drink too much tonight!"
