MMORPG: I Have to Kill 700 Millions Orcs to Pay My Debt

Visit the Armor Shop

Everyone in that place turned their heads towards one place and found a beautiful woman who was in charge of orc and goblin affairs within the city. When they saw the beauty, everyone immediately bowed their heads, except Aaron who didn't feel the need to do that. The woman was the same person Aaron had met this morning.

"You killed all these orcs and goblins?" The beauty asked.

"Yes. All of this," Aaron replied.

"But how come?" The beauty frowned, showing her confusion. "You are a beginner, and your level is no more than the first level. This is unnatural."

In his mind, Aaron chuckled. The NPC in this game had incredible intelligence. She could take issue with things that were beyond reason. Could this be the developer's way of preventing cheats from the players? Or is it just to add a sense of realism?

You won't find anything like this in 'Martial Earth Online'!

However, Aaron replied, "You don't need to ask that, Miss. I just completed the mission by bringing you all the heads of the orcs and goblins that I've killed with my own sword. I need to receive the payment I deserve."

Getting that answer, the beauty had nothing more to say but to tell her men to give Aaron his proper reward. As promised.

Aaron nodded in satisfaction and intended to leave the Diamond Sword Pavilion as soon as possible. He wants to go to the market in the city and buy new armor, but then suddenly the beauty called him back.

"You have amazing sword skills. I'm interested in recruiting you into the city's special forces. What is your name?"

[Alice offers a mission!]

[You have an offer to become a special soldier in Gray Stone City, Fallen Star Kingdom. If you accept, you will get 100 gold coins and 1 soul power every month. But if you reject it, you won't suffer any losses."]

Aaron took a long breath before replying, "My name is Aaron, but sorry, I can't accept your offer. Please look for another player who is more talented than me, Miss."

After saying that, Aaron turned around and walked away. The beauty named Alice could hardly believe the answer Aaron issued.

The offer of becoming a special force was something very limited. It would not be offered to players who did not have talent. When such an offer was issued, it was rare for anyone to refuse it. And after all that, how could Aaron refuse the offer without even blinking his eyes?

How unbelievable!

***

In the marketplace, Gray Stone City.

Aaron walked into a small shop that sold a lot of used armor. Of course, he didn't have enough coins to buy brand new armor, let alone go to the big store located in the city center.

His current condition forced Aaron to buy used armor at the small shop. He had to economize.

Here there were no servant girls who would suddenly appear and serve him. The shop's visitors were too many to serve one by one, and even then the shop owner didn't earn enough sales profit to hire servant girls. After that, all the customers in this shop came from underprivileged players. They didn't deserve to be served.

Aaron walked slowly while looking at the armor displayed along the walls of the shop. In his mind, he complained. All those armors were no longer worth wearing. He could analyze that the durability of those armors did not exceed 60%, despite having quite good quality and appearance.

It would be more profitable if you bought two brand new armors of lower quality. But it seemed that the poor players in this shop were more concerned with the appearance of armor than its quality.

Aaron shook his head after losing all interest in shopping. He didn't want to squander coins on a detrimental thing, so the young man wanted to quickly leave the shop and seek his luck in another shop, but his steps again stopped as his vision caught an armor that looked familiar to his eyes.

"This... isn't this my armor?"

They placed the armor on the highest spot, so it technically received less attention than the other armor. Even the 180cm tall Aaron couldn't pick it up right away, so he immediately called out to one of the male shop assistants.

"Can I help you?" the waiter asked after getting close enough to Aaron.

"Yes. Please get me that armor, I want to see it." Aaron pointed at the armor.

"Young Master, that armor is too worn out. It's been in this place for a dozen years, but no one is interested in buying it. Just today, we want to dispose of that armor." The male servant politely explained.

"But you haven't thrown it away yet. That means you're still selling the armor, right?"

Hearing Aaron's rebuttal, the male servant couldn't say anything else, so he immediately picked up a stick and took down the armor Aaron wanted.

When Aaron received and touched the armor, a feeling of nostalgia entered him. It was like he had touched it, exactly ten years ago, when he was still playing 'Martial Earth Online'. And now, the armor was back in his hands?

It was unbelievable!

The armor is made of thin leather. It was black like the night sky, but it was now very worn and some of the surfaces were peeling off. The armor looked like a short robe, with a thick belt and several small pockets.

Aaron looked at the inside of the armor, he saw an "A" mark there. That's right, this was the armor he had worn while playing 'Martial Earth Online', cause the mark of "A" is meaning "Aaron". As he recalled, this armor had accompanied his adventures for more than five months, before it was finally left behind in a motel from the enemy's pursuit.

From the outside, this armor was not attractive at all. With only level 1 and 30% durability left, its appearance wasn't appealing at all either. After that, who would be interested in buying this armor?

However, those low specs are just the outer appearance, as this armor is actually level 50 with 100% durability!

The low appearance was a way to protect the armor from greedy hands. The trick was working at this time!

"Where did you find this armor?" Aaron remained calm as he was worried that his surprise would arouse the servant's suspicion.

"My father and I found this behind a pile of rubble from a burning building. It looks like a motel, but we don't know it for sure."

Without another thought, Aaron immediately said, "I'll buy this armor. How much is it?"
