Chapter 509 - No Danger Encountered
When John and the other two arrived at the entrance of The Styx Town, they felt a bit anxious. They believed that in the Dark Realm, the main city of the most important player would surely be full of dangers.
However, at the entrance of The Styx Town, they encountered no resistance at all. It seemed that there were no very powerful demons present in The Styx Town.
As new players, the three of them walked directly into The Styx Town. In the main area of The Styx Town, they saw a series of weapon shops.
At the entrances of these shops, other players were selling their weapons and some supply materials they had acquired. The arrival of John and his friends didn't seem to attract anyone's attention.
Because newcomers like John and his friends were actually quite common in The Styx Town. The situation seemed very different from what they had expected.
John even began to wonder if all those posts on the player forum related to Dark Realm were lying. Those posts always mentioned that danger could be encountered at any moment in Dark Realm. However, John hadn't encountered any danger; he only saw a situation similar to other player cities.
While John was lost in thought, Adam reminded him, "Have you noticed something unusual? If you have, could you please share it with us?"
Adam thought that John's sudden stillness might indicate that he had noticed something out of the ordinary. If John had indeed spotted an anomaly that couldn't be quickly resolved, it could pose a significant danger to them.
John quickly shook his head and replied, "I just can't help but wonder if our previous judgment of Dark Realm was a major mistake. The information I had before suggested that Dark Realm was supposed to be incredibly dangerous. But looking at the situation in The Styx Town, it doesn't seem as perilous as we initially thought. It appears that even new players like us wouldn't have much trouble here."
This statement surprised the demon warrior because he knew that an orange-tier weapon was an epic-tier weapon. While epic-tier weapons weren't as rare as Sacred Relics, they were still highly valuable, even for ordinary players and demons like him who weren't very powerful.
After a careful inspection, the demon warrior nodded and said, "In that case, go on in. I believe the appraisal masters in the shop will be very interested in this weapon."
John entered the appraisal shop, and soon a demon minion approached him. John repeated what he had said earlier to the demon minion, who then led him to the third floor of the appraisal shop. There, he encountered a highly skilled appraiser who, upon seeing the weapon in John's hand, instantly gave his assessment.
"The weapon you brought is indeed of exceptional quality," the appraiser said. "As an epic-tier weapon, it can provide significant assistance to your strength. However, your current level is still a bit too low. You won't be able to harness its full power with your current capabilities. If I were you, I would consider selling this weapon."
The appraiser completed the appraisal of John's epic-tier weapon. In reality, John had already known the specific attributes of this epic-tier weapon. It was a precious dagger. Other Assassin Players would undoubtedly benefit greatly from using this dagger, enhancing their combat abilities significantly. However, John had no use for it. He wasn't an Assassin Player, and in his battles, this dagger wouldn't contribute to his defense against formidable foes like demigods or even avatars of deities.
"In that case, can I sell this weapon in the appraisal shop? If you want to charge a fee, that's also acceptable. After all, you should be aware that I won't be able to find very sincere buyers," John suggested. This approach was quite typical for new players. When they obtained a valuable weapon, they often chose to sell it quickly, especially considering their lower levels. If they didn't, someone else might snatch it away.
The appraiser didn't show any change in expression upon hearing John's request. He had anticipated this decision.
"If you choose to sell it here, we will charge a 10% fee. While the fee is high, you should be well aware that Dark Realm is a perilous place. Without our assistance, it would be nearly impossible for you to safely sell this weapon," the appraiser calmly explained. He then took possession of John's weapon.
John didn't argue further. He believed the appraisal shop wouldn't intentionally deceive a new player, especially since it was one of the system's appraisal shops, subject to system regulations.
