Chapter 43: Su Yu and the Anthropomorphic Car
Chapter 43: Su Yu and the Anthropomorphic Car
After obtaining a chestplate that increased his movement speed, Su Yu decided to follow the same strategy and replace all his equipment with double-speed gear.
However, he encountered a problem—his inventory was full, and he needed to sell the enhanced equipment.
Selling directly to the system shop would be a huge loss.
If he sold to other players, according to the game rules, equipment that had been worn or given as quest rewards could not be sold, but drops from monsters and dungeons could be.
The seven chestplates he had just enhanced hadn't been worn, so he could sell them to other players.
But should he list them in the auction house? That didn't seem like a good idea.
After ten seconds of thought, Su Yu shook his head.
He couldn't sell them through the auction house.
If he suddenly listed dozens of rare-quality items, any player with a bit of sense would figure out his talent.
At this stage, he needed to remain mysterious and avoid being studied too closely.
It would be best to sell the equipment through other channels.
But what channels?
Got it!
Su Yu left the auction house and found the NPC "Mercenary Merchant Brian" in the village.
He rented a legitimate stall from him for 20 Psychic Coins per day.
Regular player stalls had no system protection, and equipment could be stolen by passing players.
A legitimate stall, however, was protected by the system and could be set to "unattended" mode, allowing players to leave their goods on display and go about their business.
Su Yu arrived at the mercenary trading market, where the legitimate stalls were located.
The mercenary trading market was a feature not yet open to players, and it was empty, with no NPCs around.
Because there were no NPCs, the place was rarely visited by players.
Su Yu found his stall at the entrance and placed the seven rare chestplates on it.
The price for a level 3 rare chestplate was 320 Psychic Coins, and for a level 5 rare chestplate, it was 520 Psychic Coins.
He wasn't looking to make a profit; he just wanted to recoup his costs.
As for the stall name, he called it "Rare Shop, Selling Large Quantities of Rare-Quality Gear at Low Prices."
After setting everything up, Su Yu returned to the auction house to continue working on his double-speed gear.
Not long after Su Yu left, two players from another village wandered into the mercenary trading market.
Seeing Su Yu's stall, one of them laughed, "Look, who's the fool who rented a legitimate stall?"
His companion also laughed, "Yeah! Wasted 200 Psychic Coins, what a loss! But the shop name is funny—'Rare Shop, Selling Large Quantities of Rare-Quality Gear.'"
The player's expression suddenly changed as he read further!
So far, the game hadn't seen any tradable rare-quality gear, not even one piece!
And this stall's name claimed "large quantities of rare gear at low prices"? It must be a scam!
The two players hurried over to check.
Soon, two shouts echoed through the market:
"My God! It's really tradable rare gear!"
"And there are seven pieces!"
"Who's selling this gear?"
"I have to screenshot this and post it on the forums right away."
The news that "seven rare pieces of gear appeared in the mercenary trading market" spread like wildfire.
Before long, the entire Nolan Village was in an uproar! Curious players flooded in, turning the once-empty market into a bustling crowd.
Many players had never even seen blue gear before and rushed over to witness it.
Five or six minutes later, Su Yu returned to the mercenary market.
By this time, he was wearing a full set of double-speed gear.
[Hill Goat Leather Hood] +0.6 movement speed, [Windlike Leather Armor] +0.7 movement speed, [Whispering Leggings] +0.8 movement speed, [Velvet Gloves] +0.4 movement speed, [Bone Tooth Boots] +1.2 movement speed, [Spider Silk Shoulder Guards]
+0.4, Wild Boar Leather Belt +0.5
In the game Evolution, Class A equipment is divided into seven categories: hat, shoulder guards, chestplate, gloves, belt, leg guards, and boots.
In addition to Class A equipment, there are two ring slots, one necklace slot, and two accessory slots.
However, jewelry and accessories only drop from monsters level 10 and above. For lower-level items like the Tear of the Goddess, they can only be obtained through quests and are not available for purchase in the market.
After equipping a full set of speed-boosting gear, Su Yu’s movement speed increased by 4.6. Adding this to his initial speed of 1.2, his current movement speed is an astonishing 5.8!
What does a movement speed of 5.8 mean?
At this speed, Su Yu seems to have lost the constraints of gravity, walking at 5.8 meters per second and running at a terrifying 29 meters per second!
For comparison, an average racehorse runs at 400 meters per minute, and a tiger's top speed is around 20 meters per second. Su Yu is significantly faster than a tiger!

Human Car
While his current speed might still not match the Moon Howling Wolf King, it’s more than enough to outrun the Wolf King’s Guard.
With this speed, Su Yu finally has the means to challenge the Wolf King.
Outside the market, Su Yu carried a massive leather backpack on his shoulder, filled with dozens of reinforced rare items.
He bought this large leather backpack from the village tanner for 20 Psychic Coins.
On one hand, it was to transport all these rare items in one go. On the other hand, it was to prepare for the items that would drop from the Wolf King.
When a boss drops items during a monster siege, the loot is divided among the players who participated in the kill. Without a large backpack, Su Yu wouldn’t be able to carry all the Wolf King’s drops back.
Standing at the entrance of the Mercenary Trade Market, Su Yu felt a bit overwhelmed as he saw players swarming his stall in layers.
He hadn’t expected his gear to cause such a stir.
But it didn’t matter. The Invisibility Spell has a unique feature: "ignores physical collision." With the Invisibility Spell, he could easily slip through the crowd.
With that thought, Su Yu silently cast the Invisibility Spell.
The nearby players were glancing at him, as he was the only one carrying a large, bulging backpack.
What’s up? Is the system backpack not enough for this guy?
One player walked up to Su Yu and reached out to pat his shoulder. "Brother, where did you buy that backpack?"
But just as his hand was about to touch Su Yu’s shoulder, the Invisibility Spell took effect.
The player’s hand met nothing but air, and he froze in surprise.
Two seconds later, he began screaming in terror, "Ghost! Help! Help!"
The other players around him shot him disapproving looks. "Maybe he just logged out. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Realizing he had made a fool of himself, the player sheepishly smiled and stopped talking.
With the Invisibility Spell active, Su Yu quickly weaved through the crowd and reached his stall.
Six out of the seven items on his stall had already been sold, leaving only the level 5 Red Wolf Leather Jacket.
Several players were gathered around his stall, placing bets on the last remaining item.
"I bet the last item will be sold within an hour! 50 Psychic Coins!"
"I’m in!"
"Want to bet something bigger? Like 500 Psychic Coins?"
"Do you think I’m stupid? I’d just buy it myself for 500. Let’s go with 50!"
