After reaching Level 5, the [Wind Velvet Belt] dropped by the Silver Snake became usable. Su Yu casually upgraded it to Rare quality and equipped it.
[Wind Velvet Belt LV5 (Rare)]
Defense +10
Inventory Slots +5
Spell Penetration +5
His original inventory had only 20 slots, which forced him to discard many materials during leveling. With the [Wind Velvet Belt] equipped, his inventory slots increased to 25, greatly alleviating the shortage of space.
"Once I reach Golden Rose City, there's a quest at the 'Crimson Rose' tavern in the southern part of the city to expand my inventory slots," his thoughts drifted.
However, since he had smoothly reached Level 5, his next step was to clear dungeons.
Su Yu glanced at his friends list.
Zhan Tian Jian and True Red Dragon had both logged in, but neither had sent him any messages.
They might have realized something from the recent events and started to be wary of him.
Su Yu didn't initiate a private chat with them either. He noticed that Zhan Tian Jian's name still had an "LV4" tag in front of it.
Since an elite player like Zhan Tian Jian hadn't reached Level 5 yet, it was highly likely that other players hadn't either. He still had plenty of time.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, changed into leather armor that increased his movement speed, and returned to Noland Village.
Two minutes later, he was back in the village.
After returning, he didn't rush to clear dungeons but went to the Magic Hut first.
At this stage, [Fireball] and [Frostbolt] scrolls were too weak to be of much use.
Recalling the old mage's mention of "new stock," Su Yu decided to check it out.
Inside the Magic Hut, Su Yu stated his purpose.
Old Mage Pizhum was overjoyed.
He quickly pulled out a new exchange list and presented it to Su Yu with both hands, as if showing off a treasure:
"Little brother~ I spent a considerable amount to get these first-tier scrolls from the Temple. I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
Su Yu took the exchange list and examined it.
[Fireball] and [Frostbolt] were zero-tier spells, priced at 50 Psychic Coins.
The new exchange list included many first-tier spells, such as [Flame Rain], [Inferior Fireball] for Fire spells; [Ice Spike] and [Frost Nova] for Ice spells; [Earth Shield] and [Summon Rock Elemental] for Earth spells; [Chain Lightning] and [Thunderstrike] for Lightning spells, and more.
These first-tier spells were priced at 200 Psychic Coins.
"Quite a few good additions this time," Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course, I may not be much else, but I have my connections. Otherwise, I wouldn't have secured the cushy job of guarding Noland Village," Pizhum replied proudly.
The old mage beamed with pride.
"But do you think I'm a fool? The average price for a first-tier scroll in Golden Fleur City is around 150 Psychic Coins. You dare to charge me 200?!" Su Yu's tone turned harsh.
While he was wealthy and didn't mind the small amount, that didn't mean he would let someone swindle him like a simpleton! Seeing the inflated price on the old mage's list, Su Yu's mood soured.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the old mage was taken aback. He hadn't expected Su Yu to be so well-informed about market prices.
He quickly tried to salvage the situation. "You misunderstand, young friend! Noland Village is far from any major city, and transportation is very inconvenient. Charging you 200 Psychic Coins for a first-tier scroll is already a very generous price."
"Stop making excuses," Su Yu interrupted rudely. "140 per scroll, will you sell or not? If not, I'll go to the village's potion master, Seon."
"140, this..." The old mage hesitated for a long time before sighing. "Fine, 140 it is. Consider it a compensation for you."
Selling the first-tier scrolls at 140 Psychic Coins each left little profit. However, to retain Su Yu as a big customer, the old mage reluctantly agreed.
Thus, Su Yu bought 700 first-tier scrolls at 140 Psychic Coins each, spending a total of 98,000 Psychic Coins in the magic shop.
He bought 100 of each type of first-tier scroll, except for the [Earth Shield] scroll. For potions, since the old mage's list didn't have any new potions, Su Yu casually bought 200 bottles of [Basic Mana Recovery Potion] to replenish his supplies and ended the transaction.
After leaving the magic shop, Su Yu first visited the warehouse. He listed the [Pale Cloud Round Shield], [Slippery Scale Chestplate], and the [Shield of Truth] skill scroll from the Silver Snake boss for auction. He also listed the [Fireball] and [Ice Arrow] scrolls he didn't need, each for 30 Psychic Coins.
This freed up a significant amount of space in his backpack.
With everything settled, Su Yu easily found the dungeon merchant, Jenny, and spent 10 Psychic Coins to buy a Level 5 dungeon ticket.
Jenny waved her wand, and a pale blue [Teleportation Gate] quickly opened behind her.
"Hello, adventurer. Which dungeon would you like to enter?" Jenny asked kindly.
There were three Level 5 dungeons to choose from:
1. [Green Grassland], built around the Level 4 monster [Hill Goat].
2. [Silver Snake Below Qingcheng Mountain], built around the Level 5 monster [Silver Snake].
3. [Thundercliff], built around the Level 6 monster [Fierce Wild Bull].
Of course, the regular monsters in each dungeon were Level 5, and the bosses were one or two levels higher.
Given the choice, Su Yu would naturally pick the one that was easier for him.
Su Yu clicked on the leftmost option, [Green Grassland], and stepped into the teleportation gate.
A familiar dizziness and weightlessness washed over him, and Su Yu disappeared from the teleportation array.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast, endless grassland.
"You have entered the Level 5 dungeon [Green Grassland]."
"Dungeon Description: The Green Grassland was once home to a group of gentle goats. However, at some point, the goats were invaded by an alien energy, making them aggressive and hostile.
"Your mission is to infiltrate the goat village and eliminate the village chief!"
