Su Ming then clicked on the pharmacy interface to check their products.



“You’ve opened Ron’s Pharmacy in Aaron Town!”

…



Being a priest himself, there was no need to purchase a HP potion. After thinking about it, Su Ming purchased a set of Intermediate Potions.



“Ding!”



“You’ve gained the item:『Intermediate Mana Potion』x100.”



“You’ve lost 150 gold.”



After purchasing the item, Su Ming bid farewell to the pharmacist.



He found a deserted corner and began to stack up buffs on himself.



+78！



+100！



……



“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining『Agile Specialization Lv1』buff.”



“……”



Su Ming summoned the Spirit of Holy Light to assist, and in less than two minutes,『Body Enhancement』 and『Agile Specialization』reached the limit of Lv100.



Healing Technique!



Su Ming tirelessly stacked buffs on himself. This feeling of becoming stronger with ease was very addictive.



+101！



“Ding! Congratulations on getting『Increased Physical Defense Lv1』buff.”



Hmm, a new buff?



『Increased Physical Defense』



Grade: Black Iron



Level: 1/100



Effect: Each time the user receives physical damages, 3 points of damage would be reduced. Last forever. Cannot be removed.



It appears that Lv100 was the dividing line between ordinary and Black Iron buffs.



This damage reducing buff was… not quite bad.



His survival ability had further increased.



After a minute, the『Increased Wisdom』buff also reached the level 100 cap.



He also gained another new buff『Increased Magic Defense』, though its effect description wasn’t much different from『Increased Magic Defense』.



“It’s time to leave now.”



Su Ming walked towards the center of Aaron Town with satisfaction.



A few minutes later, he arrived at his destination.



An NPC dressed in a clown costume came into his view, the NPC was surrounded by players.



『Clown Merchant Reynolds Lv20』



Suddenly, a sharp voice resounded.



“Dear adventurers! Welcome to the clown store, I’m Reynolds, the clown merchant!”



“The treasures of the Giant Dragon, the journal of the God, you name it. I have it all!”



“Those precious rewards are hidden in these lucky balloons. Ladies and gentlemen, won’t you try your luck?!”



The clown merchant shouted enthusiastically.



There were 30 colorful balloons lined up on the wall behind him.



The format resembled an old card game where the wall was like a prize pool in which players would spend money to draw out air(nothing). If the merchant’s heart was filled with greed, they wouldn’t put any precious prizes in the prize pool.



The clown seemed to have noticed Su Ming as his eyes lit up. He easily jumped in front of Su Ming and held up the red number 13 balloon in his hand.



He stared at Su Ming with his dark blue pupils and asked in a low indistinct tone, “Hey, adventurer, want to buy a lucky balloon?”



Su Ming stood in place and calmly declined, “I refuse.”



The clown merchant shook his head in disappointment and said, “That’s unfortunate, adventurer. You’ve lost your chance to win the grand prize.”



“Really?… I actually think I can win the prize though.”



Su Ming smiled playfully.



Other players wouldn’t know the identity of the clown merchant but how could Su Ming, as someone who had been reborn, not know.



A fraudulent demon from their rival camp, Vaners.



He was a Lv40 middle-ranked high-level demon and if he ever wanted a match, no one in Aaron Town was worthy of being his opponent.



Thankfully, he wasn’t interested in slaughtering players and had only been playing around in human society for fraudulent pleasure.



Before long, 30 balloons were sold out but no players won the jackpot, instead, they had lost their money.



“F*ck, I f*cking drew out 5 balloons! Thank you for your patronage?! You clown, you better return me my money, or else——”



The non-chief* warrior rushed furiously at the clown.



[TLN: Non-chief (非酋) means a person with worst luck.]



An electric ray of gray light pierced the warrior’s head.



-185123!



The warrior had received nearly two hundred thousand damages as his body turned into dust and scattered all over the ground.



“Ss*! Did I see that right? 180,000 damages?!



[TLN: *Ss is the sound of air being sucked between the teeth.]



“The strength of a mere Lv20 turned out to be this terrifying.”



The nearby players sucked in a breath of cold air and kept quiet out of fear. Even though they had suffered losses, they didn’t dare to speak up at the moment.



“Insolent bastard.”



The clown Vaner didn’t even bother looking at the ashes on the ground. He waved his hand and 49 new balloons appeared lined up against the wall before he began another yelling spree.



This time, he set up a few satisfying rewards.



The Diamond-grade Potion that Su Ming wanted was also hidden in it.



However, the warrior’s death had scared the nearby players so currently, no one dared to buy the balloons.



“I must get the potion.”



Su Ming suddenly walked over.



“Who is this bro? Does he not fear death?”



The players raised their eyebrows at Su Ming and curiously watched him.



“What’s up with this human?”



Clown Vaner slightly felt uneasy.



Su Ming then spoke up, “7, 41 and 46. I want these three lucky balloons!”



What?!



The clown’s eyes widen and subconsciously let go of balloon No.13.



He was incredibly shocked inside.



Vaners looked back at the balloon. The anti-detection magic array placed on it didn’t issue any warning.



“Impossible! How does he precisely know where the real reward is hidden without using his scouting skills? Was it all a coincidence?”



Just when Vaners was in the state of confusion, Su Ming said with a faint smile, “What? I didn’t perhaps win the prize, did I? Are you going to try denying this now?”



Hearing Su Ming’s words, Vaners was sure that what he said wasn’t merely a blind guess.



“Even without using the detection skill, you can already predict their locations. Is it Foresight… Destiny or Time System skill?”



Looking at Su Ming, a sudden thought struck Vaners, causing his body to tremble.



An Inheritor of the Ancient Gods!
