Lin Bei was a little stunned.
He gave me another awesome Buff?!
Damn, this Shopkeeper Jin is really a good person!
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Jin!”
Lin Bei thanked him sincerely.
Previously, Shopkeeper Jin’s blessing had given him a permanent Buff of “Drop Rate +100%” and “Drop Quality +1”!
Now, Shopkeeper Jin’s blessing had given him a permanent Buff of “Drop Rate +100%” and “Enhancement Success Rate +100%”!
This was simply a living Bodhisattva!
It was difficult to find such an Extraordinary NPC even with a lantern!
“Hehe, it’s just a small trick. It’s not worth mentioning.”
Shopkeeper Jin waved his hand and said, “It’s a pity that the duration is a little short. Otherwise, I could have relied on this to become rich! What a pity.”
However, Lin Bei felt that two hours was not short!
Take the buff of “Enhancement Success Rate +100%” for example. As long as there were enough Stone Daggers and Enhancement Tokens, it would be enough to enhance a large number of equipment, right?
The strengthening of the Strengthening Token was 100% successful at Level 1 to 3. The success rate of +4 to +6 was 50%.
With this Buff, it meant that he could directly strengthen it to +6 with a 100% success rate!
What kind of concept was this?
Moreover, even if it was +7 to +9, the success rate was as high as 50%!
Such a success rate in strengthening was enough to make countless players seethe!
Lin Bei felt that even if he did not do anything, just this method of strengthening equipment was enough for him to do well in the game and earn a lot!
“Haha, I’ll get going first. When I have something good like the Body Strengthening Spell later, I’ll definitely find you to sell it!”
“Alright! I’m relieved to hear that!”
Shopkeeper Jin laughed out loud, feeling extremely satisfied.
With this lucky star around, he would definitely obtain those things!
After leaving the grocery store of the Holy Light Village, Lin Bei teleported to Green Mountain City.
He came to the Bloodshed Tavern and prepared to take on a few bounty missions.
Bounty missions were the same as talent levels. From low to high, they were divided into F-rank and SSS-rank. The higher the difficulty, the more generous the rewards.
However, it was already not bad for a Level 3 main city like Green Mountain City to have an A-rank mission. As for the higher ones, they usually could not see them at all.
“Hehe, you look unfamiliar! Are you here to accept a mission?”
At the entrance of the Bloodshed Tavern, a one-eyed burly man carrying a large saber looked at Lin Bei and asked with a smile.
“That’s right. This is my first time here. I want to accept a mission.”
Lin Bei nodded.
“Hehe, it’s not easy for newbies to do the missions here. How about this? If you come to our team, we happen to have a C-rank mission here. It won’t be troublesome to bring a newbie like you.”
The one-eyed man smiled and said, “However, we’re not free. We’ll take half of your mission reward. As for the points reward, you can have them all.”
“No need. I can do it alone.”
Lin Bei smiled and replied.
“Alright, but I still advise you not to act alone. It’s best to accept a simple F-rank mission to practice first.”
Seeing that Lin Bei had rejected him, the one-eyed man was not angry. Instead, he persuaded him.
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
Lin Bei thanked him and entered the tavern.
Even though the Bloodshed Tavern was filled with all sorts of people, there were only a few people who were truly vicious and evil. Most of them were rangers or mercenary groups that did not like to be restrained. As long as they were not enemies, they were generally easier to talk to.
The one-eyed man clearly had good intentions and wanted to bring Lin Bei along for the mission.
However, he rejected it because he was not accepting a C-rank mission.
Such a mission would not benefit him much.
If he wanted to accept a mission, it had to be at least B-rank and above.
Generally speaking, every bounty mission had a Boss battle. A B-rank mission corresponded to a Sector Lord Boss, A-rank mission corresponded to a King-tier Boss, and so on.
Speaking of which, this bounty mission was a fixed method to kill Bosses. However, the missions were limited. They’d be gone quickly if one’s hands were not fast enough.
Fortunately, Lin Bei was the only player in Green Mountain City. He could choose any of these missions.
“Not bad. There are two A-rank missions and five B-rank missions here. I’ll accept them all!”
Lin Bei came to the bounty mission list in the tavern and took off five mission notices. He came to the counter and said, “Boss, I’ll accept these five missions.”
The Boss of the Bloodshed Tavern in Green Mountain City was an Elven woman with golden hair. She wore a wine-red dress, and her eyes were incomparably bright.
“You… Are you sure you want to accept all of them? These are two A-rank and five B-rank missions. And… are you alone?”
“That’s right.”
“This… I have to ask for instructions. Wait a moment.”
The boss did not dare to delay and immediately prepared to ask the higher-ups.
“There’s no need to ask. I approve.”
At this moment, a hearty voice came from outside the tavern. Soon, a bald man came to the bar and smiled. “Tria, give this kid the missions.”
“Lord Monka!”
When the elven boss saw who it was, she was shocked and immediately bowed respectfully.
The person who came was the Bloodthirsty Berserker, Monka, who had wanted to rope Lin Bei in at the Temple Square!
“Alright, don’t bother with these formalities! Our Bloodshed Tavern seeks freedom. These things are quite troublesome. Don’t do this again in the future.”
Monka waved his hand at Tria and smiled at Lin Bei. “Kid, I didn’t expect you to come to our Bloodshed Tavern to accept a mission after refusing to join us. How unkind.”
“Brother Monka, you must be joking. I didn’t say that I would refuse. Besides, when the Light Guardian came, you ran away on your own.”
“Uh… Ahem, this, alright, let’s not talk about this for now. What are your thoughts now? Do you want to join our Bloodshed Tavern?”
Monka coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic. “Join our tavern. Let’s not talk about other benefits for now. Take the bounty missions for example. You have the right to choose through internal channels! To put it simply, the missions displayed here are leftovers that were not picked by others. There’s not much profit.”
“If you join our Bloodshed Tavern, I’ll make the decision and directly grant you the status of a three-star member. At that time, you can directly receive an S-rank bounty mission from internal sources! How about it? Does it feel good?”
“S-Rank!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up.
An S-Rank bounty mission meant an Emperor-tier Boss!
He now had the Buff of “Drop Quality +2”. After killing the King-tier Boss, he would directly obtain Obsidian-tier equipment.
What about killing the Emperor-tier Boss? Wouldn’t it directly drop Extraordinary-grade equipment?
This temptation… was a little big.
“Any conditions?”
Lin Bei asked.
“No conditions! Three-star members only need to complete at least one S-rank bounty mission every month. There are no other requirements.”
“Alright then, I’ll join the Bloodshed Tavern.”
Lin Bei said directly.
“Alright! This is a three-star medal. Take it!”
Monka took out a blood-red token from his body. On the token, there were three bright black scimitar marks.
[You have joined the Bloodshed Tavern!]
[You have advanced to a three-star member of the Bloodshed Tavern! The S-rank bounty channel has been opened! You can open the Bounty Interface in different areas of the Bloodshed Tavern and accept more bounty missions!]
[Current location: Green Mountain City! No S-rank bounty missions for the time being! There are a total of nine A-rank bounty missions, 31 B-rank bounty missions, and…]
A series of system notifications sounded in his ears.
Lin Bei felt a little regretful. There was actually no S-rank mission in Green Mountain City to accept!
However, there were many Rank A and B missions!
Every A-rank mission meant that there was a King-tier Boss!
Lin Bei glanced at his Mutated Blood skill and grinned.
This was a good thing.
With so many King-tier Bosses, he could farm countless Mutated King-tier Bosses in the future!
Coupled with the bonus effect of his Treasure Drop Rate +300%, it was simply easy for him to gather a set of Obsidian-grade equipment!
“Lady Boss, I want to accept all the Level A and Level B missions. Please help me record them.”
Lin Bei smiled at Tria.
“Ah? Oh… I, I’ll do it now!”
Tria’s eyes were dull as she subconsciously agreed.
Who was this young man?
He was actually so familiar with Lord Monka!
Moreover, he was directly promoted to a three-star member!
This… was simply unheard of!
“Haha! Good kid! You’ve booked all the A- and B-rank missions in Green Mountain City! Not bad, I think highly of you! This is worth a lot of tavern points! With points, you can exchange for many things you want in the tavern! Don’t forget!”
“Thank you for your reminder, Brother Monka!”
“Alright, I still have something on. Let’s talk again in the future!”
Monka patted Lin Bei’s shoulder and laughed. He turned around and left the tavern.
“Um… Lord, these are the missions you requested. They’ve been reserved for you!”
After Monka left, Tria said with some trepidation.
“Lord?”
Lin Bei was stunned.
“I’m a two-star member. You’re a three-star, one level higher than me.”
Tria explained.
“So that’s what happened!”
Lin Bei was enlightened, but after thinking about it, he said, “Don’t call me Lord. It sounds weird. Just call me… Prince Charming. I’m a professional Prince Charming of War. Is there anything wrong with that?”
“No, nothing wrong.”
“Alright, I’ll go and complete the missions first!”
“Have a safe trip, Prince Charming.”
“Sure, sure.”
Lin Bei laughed and left the tavern with the mission list.
At the door, the one-eyed man stared blankly at Lin Bei’s departing back and slapped himself hard.
“Damn, I actually let Prince Charming run an errand with me? Damn, I’ve embarrassed myself!”
His mission was only a C-rank mission, but what about the Prince Charming? He had covered all the missions above B-rank!
What was courage?
This was courage!
No wonder Lord Monka thought highly of him!
“Sigh, compared to Prince Charming… I’m still far from it. Forget it, I’ll gather people and complete this Class C mission first.”
The one-eyed man sighed, shook his head, and left the tavern.

On the other side, Lin Bei had already arrived at the Frost Valley outside Green Mountain City. There was an A-rank bounty mission target here. It was a King-tier Boss!
