After defeating Xin Qin, we obtained a three-star weapon—a highlighter.
"Could it be a game error?" Xin Hui exclaimed after checking the highlighter's weapon stats page. "This is called a three-star weapon? But its attack power is worse than the one-star ballpoint pen I'm currently using."
Zi Qian didn't believe it. He took the highlighter from Xin Hui, looked at its weapon stats interface, and then handed it to me, asking, "How is the attack power so low... Can such an error occur in the game?"
"Maybe this highlighter has other functions?"
I took the highlighter from Zi Qian and pressed and held my thumb on the barrel to open the weapon interface. After seeing the full name of this highlighter—"High-End Exquisite Highlighter"—I speculated, "It should be an item that can be sold for a good price. Why not sell it to the NPC in charge of item transactions?"
Generally,in games, the stats of equipment are proportional to their price. However, games often also design some special equipment. Although these items have very low stats, they can be sold for a high price within the game, allowing players to earn in-game currency.
Activity Room.
"Hello! My name is Rei Ying. Would you like to buy or sell equipment?" asked the NPC in charge of item transactions, standing behind a long rectangular table.
"I want to sell this highlighter," I said, placing the highlighter on NPC Rei Ying's table.
We hadn't come to this NPC to buy equipment before because we never obtained the copper coins used for transactions in the game after completing tasks.
According to Xin Hui, if we wanted to earn copper coins, we had to find other NPCs in the activity room to undertake side quests.
Since the cumulative points obtained after completing side quests were lower than those from defeating main quest bosses, we hadn't challenged side quests just to earn copper coins.
"I will purchase this highlighter for 30,000 copper coins. Are you sure you want to sell the highlighter to me?"
"Wow, it can be sold for so much!" exclaimed Zi Qian beside me.
"Yes."
After I answered briefly,Rei Ying put away the highlighter on the table, and the words "Transaction Successful" appeared on the table.
"Would you like to continue trading?"
"I want to buy equipment," I said.
At this moment, various equipment names, prices, functions, requirements, and stats appeared on Rei Ying's desk.
Looking over them, this NPC was only selling one-star or two-star weapons, all with stats lower than my current three-star dark blue ballpoint pen. So, I transferred the copper coins obtained from selling the highlighter to Xin Hui and Zi Qian, allowing them each to buy a two-star ballpoint pen with higher stats.
While they were purchasing weapons, I went to find the quest NPC to get the mission letter.
I quickly found this quest NPC standing by the window—Team Leader Lü.
"Hello! I'm Team Leader Lü. The head teacher asked me to handle the robot situation here, and the teacher in charge of the Purple Team also entrusted me to investigate the matter of injured sports athletes. I'm really overwhelmed on my own. Could you go to the Purple Team's lounge to find Teacher Bu Shen for me?"
"Okay."
After I answered, a prompt box from the game system appeared before me: "You have obtained a letter of entrustment from Teacher Bu Shen."
I clicked to open the letter of entrustment. This time, the content was even shorter.
