Level 3 and level 5 are two completely different concepts on the first day of server launch.

Players who reach level 5 can challenge the first 5-player mini-dungeon in the fantasy world, with a high chance of obtaining equipment.

More importantly, if you clear the level 5 mini-dungeon, you can also earn a server-first dungeon achievement!

It’s no exaggeration to say that those who reach level 5 on the first day are practically idol-level figures in the eyes of many players.

You could even say that if a level 5 game character stood on the street, they might very well attract a green tea girl...

That’s why Sammy decisively gave up the human race, The Carter Chief gave up the undead rogue, and Dylan gave up the elf mage. Because these three rascals all deeply understood that if they followed the boss to level 5 on the first day, they might have a chance to be seduced by a green tea girl and live a happy life like a frog.

“My hand is not just a hand, it’s my happy friend. I use it to fly my plane, I use it to miss you...”

Brian Carter hummed a tune as he returned from next door, room 302, looking to be in a good mood.

The three roommates all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the surprises in the game had temporarily eased the pain of heartbreak.

At this moment, all three roommates entered the game, but none dared to gamble on mutating their skills like Brian Carter.

As soon as Brian Carter sat down at the computer, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was stunned for a moment, then said, “Come over and take a look.”

The three roommates crowded over, and were instantly stunned as well.

A player with the ID [Shanxi Coal Boss] was sending Brian Carter private messages nonstop: “Bro, are you selling your account?”

“Official Tenpay transaction, I’m serious.”

“Ten thousand yuan, I’ll buy your account, can you give me an answer?”

“Twelve thousand, buddy, at least reply to me!”

“Fifteen thousand, this price is higher than the old servers, just reply and we’ll trade right away!”

Chapter 008: Five Barbarians

Who knows what the legendary rich second generation would think, but for the four college guys in dorm 301, fifteen thousand yuan is a huge sum of money.

Compared to twenty years ago, prices in 2030 haven’t gone up; in fact, the prices of things like phones and computers keep dropping. The average college student’s monthly living expenses are about a thousand yuan, and usually six hundred is enough for food and shelter. The rest goes to phone bills, game cards, and if you’re thrifty, you can even save up a little stash.

Take Sammy, famous for being stingy—he saves three hundred yuan every month. It’s said he’s saving up to find a girl and end his virginity, but the girl can’t be a salon girl or a cheap haircut girl. He has to go to a big hotel and find a cultured, sophisticated lady who charges thousands for an overnight stay, so they can discuss life ideals and chat about Beethoven and Mozart.

Seeing the constant purchase requests on the screen, the three roommates fell silent.

They weren’t worried that the person in the game was a scammer, because Big Tencent had already developed a Tenpay-based trading system. This system is similar to NetEase’s once industry-leading Treasure Pavilion. By trading accounts through this official channel, both buyers and sellers don’t have to worry about being cheated.

There had already been successful transactions in Telecom 1 and Netcom 1 servers. A few extremely lucky players who got S skills chose to sell their accounts. These accounts were basically empty except for an S-level skill—nothing else. Who knows how they’d develop in the future, so the going price was about ten thousand yuan.

Knowing just how valuable an S-skill account is right after server launch, that coal boss offered fifteen thousand.

At this moment, whether or not Brian Carter himself was tempted, the three roommates were definitely wavering.

An account played for just a few minutes could sell for fifteen thousand yuan—how many students wouldn’t be tempted?

“Boss, don’t ask us about this, it’s your decision,” Dylan was the first to speak.

“Yeah, no matter what you decide, your brothers support you.” The Carter Chief’s words were touching, but his next line was creepy: “If you really sell it, dare to take me for two rounds of ‘health care’?”

“Two rounds isn’t enough! At least three!” Sammy, that rascal, was sometimes even worse than The Carter Chief: “Bro, after you sell it, let’s go experience the legendary apartment girls. I heard from a fellow townsman that the ones in C City are really good.”

Since ancient times, money moves the heart. Brian Carter was torn.

The largest sum of money he’d ever handled in his life was just a few thousand in tuition fees.

Fifteen thousand yuan—he’d never even touched that much money before.

He took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. Just when everyone thought he was about to make a decision, this guy said, “Old Three, got a smoke? Give me one.”

Dylan had just taken out his cigarette pack when it was immediately snatched.

In dorm 301, only Dylan regularly smoked to look melancholy in front of girls; the other three didn’t smoke. But now, for some reason, everyone lit up, filling the room with smoke.

A few minutes later, Brian Carter, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, said in a world-weary tone, “Shameful, really. I’m only a sophomore, but my high school classmates—some are juniors, some are seniors. Especially those seniors, every time we meet, they’re talking about jobs, internships, and a few, damn it, are even planning to get married and buy a house...”
