It was a small store. There were shelves full of strange items and a variety of weapons on display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price tag on those items just made his head spin, so he ignored them and walked to the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one there, so he pressed the bell sitting on the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice came from the back room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were shuffling and thumping sounds until the merchant appeared from behind a curtain, smiling warmly at the customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, how may I be of assistance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am here to sell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon placed the quiver at the counter, and the merchant put on his round glasses before checking them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight wooden arrows and two iron arrows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant rubbed his chin and then gave his offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"4 square coins for those wooden arrows and ten for iron arrows, what do you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I visited the weapon store before coming here, and I saw that they sold iron arrow for 10 square coins per. I am getting half the price.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon crossed his arms and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifteen for the iron arrows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, I will be reselling those arrows, and I need to make a profit as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are still making profit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Twelve square coins, take it or leave it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ok.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon agreed to the deal and received sixteen square coins, increasing his wealth just a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You would’ve been happy with ten square coins, wouldn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but I’m not going to complain about getting more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a chuckle and headed to the door while the merchant muttered, \"fuck,\" softly under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got played a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wasn’t going to overly fight over couple of square coins and just wanted to sell them as he didn’t want to carry them around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I checked the price tag on the cheapest sword in the weapon store, and it was 300 square coins. I would like to stay on the 1st floor for a little longer to acquire it, but...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Dewrey and others were eager to leave the 1st floor, and they wouldn’t stay behind to wait for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would mean he would have to look for a new party, and something like that was bothersome to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon headed back to the Adventurer’s Guild, and it was the same old—players roaming about, accepting quests, and looking for party members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered the building, looked around for others, and then saw Dewrey sitting with a group of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to be talking about something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tessa and Rosabella were also there, but just standing behind Dewrey like flower decorations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes, I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fang Raon approached them, he heard Dewrey speak to the group, and their eyes slowly turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tessa said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...They are the ones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked as he looked at the group of players—they looked like a formidable team—most of them had some leather armor on and proper steel weaponry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a sun-kissed young man with black hair and hazel-brown eyes. It was easy to consider him as handsome with his angular features and confident demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Fang Raon, the fourth member of our party. He is Warrior, so we’ll be having some damage dealers in the squad as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dewrey said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alright. I’d like to be done with the boss before night. The 2nd floor is the winter floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We might freeze to death over there if we have to aimlessly wander through dark, snow-covered forest at night as the temperature drops to very dangerous levels over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dewrey said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also remembered his time over at the 2nd floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior, and his party stood up. Counting Junior, there were six of them, and including Dewrey’s party, they had ten people in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are already doing it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked Tessa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. It is just the 1st floor boss, so I think we can handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tessa said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What about healing potions? Better weapons and armor? I think the three of us are quite unprepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a troubled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can always do the boss the other time, but I will be doing it with my friends today. You can either follow us or stay behind. Your choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His friends threw stinky eyes at Fang Raon and followed their party leader, Junior, out of the guild building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dewrey said and turned to Fang Raon with a serious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got really lucky that party as strong as theirs were willing to take us with them. This is the perfect opportunity to get easy passage to the second floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why would they want to bring us with them, though?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, and I don’t care. Most likely, the more people, the merrier. We have Helper with Tessa, so I think they want an extra Helper to help with healing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dewrey said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What about the treasure then? Will they get it all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will split everything equally. We will throw dice to decide who gets to choose first from the treasure, et cetera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dewrey said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then ran after Junior and his party. They left the city behind, and hiked down the dirt path, and the sky-connecting tower was already in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tower was massive, taller than any building they had ever seen, and it had double doors, which seemed impossible to open by a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, as they approached the tower, Junior pulled out a key from his inventory, and it started glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somehow connected to the tower’s doors as they slowly started to creak open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Tower Key. It is the only way to open the doors to the tower. If we had gone without Junior, we would’ve had to find one by ourselves.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every floor had their own Tower Key, so the 1st floor’s Tower Key wouldn’t work on the second floor, and vice versa.\u003C\u002Fp>",1110,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","40cbb752ed86acc4d28caa681121dbaf3be430926c486338b983a13f04c86cb4","black-online-chapter-12","black-online-chapter-10",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
