“What the ratfuck, has the system gone insane?” Song Jian was shocked at the “three thousand Doomsday Coins” needed to set up a mailbox;
Just to give you an idea, any player with over three hundred Doomsday Coins in their pocket could already be considered a tycoon. If Song Jian hadn’t gotten a SSS grade on his previous main mission, he wouldn’t have more than a hundred and fifty Doomsday Coins. There were too many places to spend money in this game and too few ways to earn it. The vast majority of players were barely managing, living like mule-skinner, doing the same mind-numbing and dull routines of chopping trees and collecting stone for a few Doomsday Coins, which was even more tiring than a real-life job;
Staring at his bag showing “3112 Doomsday Coins”, Song Jian gritted his teeth resentfully. Having to hand over the coins to the system just as they were warming his pocket was really annoying;
“Well, you win some, you lose some. It takes giving to receive.” Song Jian consoled himself, gritted his teeth, and clicked on the “Create” option.
The Doomsday Coins in his bag quickly diminished, yet nothing unusual seemed to happen. In reality, a red mailbox more than half a human height had already appeared outside the manor’s gate, but Song Jian couldn’t see it as his view was blocked by a wall;
After a while, unable to wait any longer, Song Jian opened the manor management list, and was surprised to discover that “Mailbox” had appeared on the list, under “Catapult (3)”;
After opening the mailbox, the first thing was to set an address;
If he was in a large city like the City of Sin or Sky City, and had a fixed address, he could apply for a mailbox from the city hall. This mailbox address would be set by the municipal office and he could not change it;
Only those who set up safe houses in the wild were allowed to fill out their own mailbox address, but the address couldn’t be the same as someone else’s;
“What address should I use?” Song Jian furrowed his brows, deep in thought;
Through the radio, Song Jian learned that people who set up safe houses in the wild usually use names like “Layton Mansion” or “Jamint Cottage”. In large cities, addresses followed the specific format of “** City ** Street (Road) ** Neighborhood ** Number”
After thinking for a while, Song Jian blinked and typed “1, Blessing Neighborhood, Bright Street, City of Hope”
After setting up his own mailbox address, he could now send out parcels;
Song Jian opened the “Send Item” option, put the blue jade necklace in there, and in the payment option for the recipient, wrote one thousand Doomsday Coins and “Skill Book: Sword Finger”.
After filling out the postage address, if Count Qian Dahai wants to accept this blue jade necklace, he would have to pay one thousand Doomsday Coins and “Skill Book: Sword Finger”.
“Phew, not bad luck. 1 just don’t know how powerful the Swordsman Immortal profession actually is!” Song Jian mumbled to himself, checked everything again, and chose to send the parcel;
System: You’ve chosen recipient-pays postage for item “Blue Jade Necklace” to address: Inner City 188, City of Sin, recipient Qian Dahai. This postage will cost one stamp, continue with postage?
“Requires a stamp?” Song Jian was taken aback, his brow furrowing, but quickly he chose to send out the parcel;
A light flashed on the stamp in his bag and flew toward the door of the manor. Looking at the mailbox, the blue jade necklace was gone, a parcel has been sent out;
“Having a mailbox is not enough, 1 need a stamp to send items, way too bothersome.” Song Jian thought to himself;
After waiting for a while with no new mail notifications, it looks like Count Qian Dahai still had not seen his message, Song Jian shook his head, flashed to the manor’s gate, and walked out;
“Master, I have some information about the combat profession Tree Shepherd, I wonder if you…” The Blood Shade Poison Tree slowly woke up from its sleep, noticed Song Jian’s presence, and started speaking slowly;
But before it could finish, Song Jian’s figure had already disappeared from the manor’s gate.
The Blood Shade Poison Tree Alex was stunned, sighed heavily, and fell back to sleep;
Song Jian stood at Sunflower Bar, watching with some surprise at the constant stream of people coming in and out.
“It’s only been a few days, and Sunflower Bar has already gained such popularity?” Song Jian murmured to himself, and slowly walked in;
Upon walking into the main hall, he was stunned to find that it was already packed. Every single one of the dozen tables was full, even the high stools in front of the bar were taken.
Soft music was playing in the bar, with almost every patron holding a cup of drink. Most were seated at the tables, glancing around, seemingly in search of something.
“Captain, captain, this is the place, this is the place. A mug of beer will increase your attack by 30% for 3 hours. We all take a glass first, then we’ll go farm mobs!”
“I don’t need attack, Fox, is there anything that increases defense or vitality?”
“Yes, yes, rum, oat rum can provide 300 Vitality Points for two and a half hours, while dark beer can increase your defense by 15, also for two and a half hours. However, you can only drink one of these two, if you drink the second one it will override the first one’s effects.”
Song Jian watched a five-person squad squeeze to the front of the bar. Each bought a drink, gulped it down, then quickly moved out of the bar;
“Hey, Fiana, is the boss lady in?” Song Jian greeted as he approached;
“The boss lady is out on some business. Why are you looking for her?” Fiana lazily slid a highball glass down the bar to a player, turned her head to glance at Song Jian and responded;
“Oh, nothing. 1 was just wondering, has the upstairs casino opened yet?” Song Jian asked.
Having acquired several dozen zombie cores, Song Jian intended to test his luck at the casino, and see if he could gamble to win a few good items before going on the main mission;
“The upstairs casino is not open to the public yet!” Fiana said: “But the boss lady has authorized you with free access. Just go up by yourself.”
“Thanks.” Song Jian gave a small smile and made his way upstairs;
Seeing Song Jian heading upstairs, several people who noticed him looked surprised.
“Miss Fiana, may 1 ask if the gentleman just now is the owner of this bar?” A player seated at the bar looked charmingly at Fiana, softly asking;
“No, he’s just a friend of the boss!” Fiana looked back at him and declared;
“Oh, then may I ask, what’s the deal with the upstairs casino? When will it open?”
“Haha, those are not questions you should be concerned with. You should wait patiently for the wanderer’s arrival.” Fiana gave an indifferent smile and dismissive comment;
Seeing that no one was ordering drinks, Fiana took out a crystal glass, with a blue velvet handkerchief, and leisurely polished the inner wall of the glass. She was blatantly ignoring the questions of the player at the high stool of the bar;
