Chapter 29: How to improve combat effectiveness

"Yes!"

Tian Xiaoling's answer was decisive and straightforward.

"It depends on which one you want to use."

"Which ones are there?" Wei Kai asked curiously.

"Actually, the best way to improve combat power is to increase your level," Tian Xiaoling said eloquently.

"Your current level is too low, so I suggest you find a power leveler to help you grind monsters and level up. It's much faster than grinding by yourself."

"This..."

Wei Kai scratched his head. Indeed, hiring someone to help with leveling was a fast way to increase his level.

But if he did that, he wouldn't be able to kill monsters and farm equipment.

His shop had just opened, and all the goods had to be provided by him.

If he couldn't farm equipment, wouldn't the shop close down very quickly?

"If power leveling isn't an option, there's another way."

Tian Xiaoling noticed his dilemma and suggested, "My family's trading house also has many alchemy items that can improve combat power."

"Alchemy items!" Wei Kai's eyes immediately lit up.

Among alchemy items, the most common are naturally various bombs and traps.

The trap that had previously ensnared the Wild Boar King was a high-level alchemy item specifically used for hunting.

If he could get his hands on these things, it would indeed greatly enhance his combat power, and they were specifically for bosses!

"This works!"

After some thought, Wei Kai agreed on the spot.

"Then... I'll take you to buy them later." Tian Xiaoling smiled and continued, "Also... you're already level six. If you're not short on money, you can go get a level five legendary weapon."

"Okay!" Wei Kai nodded without hesitation.

Although he had a mythical equipment in his hand, he couldn't equip it until he reached level fifteen.

During this interim period, he still had to rely on other equipment to boost his combat power.

"Finally, it's about learning skills." Tian Xiaoling continued, "You probably haven't had time to learn new skills yet, have you?"

"Yes."

"That's right." Tian Xiaoling smiled and said, "To grind monsters faster, you need to learn some useful skills. Also, if you've decided on your future profession path, you can allocate your attribute points now."

For every level gained, one receives five free attribute points.

Not allocating them would be a waste.

If one has already decided on their future profession path, it's best to allocate all free points, which can also significantly boost combat power.

"Uh, thanks for the reminder."

Wei Kai scratched his head and immediately opened his panel, allocating all his free attributes to strength.

For most people, allocating points incorrectly has severe consequences.

But for Wei Kai, it was just a small price to pay.

Money was not an issue!

Moreover, the strength attribute was exactly what he needed most.

Both the mythical equipment and that legendary ring were related to strength.

Of course, the higher, the better.

"Also... you can also find an auxiliary profession guild and spend money to buy some long-lasting buffs, which can also slightly increase combat power," Tian Xiaoling continued to suggest.

"Uh, that works too?" Wei Kai was a little surprised.

"Of course, it does."

Tian Xiaoling explained, "Not all buffs are short-term; some last for several hours, or even several days. However, these buffs are very expensive, and most people can't afford them or don't need them."

"No problem, I'll go buy them later." Wei Kai nodded again.

"In addition, the Alchemist Association has pills that temporarily boost combat power, the Taoist temple has talismans, the Assassin Guild has hidden weapons, and the Ingenious Mechanism Sect has mechanical puppets..."

"..."

Listening to Tian Xiaoling's continuous explanations, Wei Kai was suddenly a bit dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected that there were so many things in the world that could enhance combat power.

Listening to her words was better than reading ten years of books.

His horizons were truly broadened!

"So, have you decided which ones you want to choose?"

Tian Xiaoling had listed over a dozen items in one breath, feeling parched, and unconsciously licked her lips.

Wei Kai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I've decided. I only want things that can fight bosses!"

His goal was very clear: to farm bosses and get equipment drops.

As for regular small monsters, he didn't need any other means; a Wild Boar Charge Set was more than enough.

With one Charge, who could stop him?

"Alright, then follow me."

Tian Xiaoling waved her hand and led him out of the shop.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Tian Xiaoling's family's trading house again.

After greeting the person in charge of the hall, Tian Xiaoling led Wei Kai directly to the second floor.

Only after going up did they discover that there were people on the second floor.

A middle-aged man in a Tang suit, slightly bald, frowned when he saw the two.

"Xiao Ling, what are you doing? Didn't you see we have distinguished guests on the second floor?"

"Third Uncle, I brought a distinguished guest to buy something."

Tian Xiaoling retorted unhappily.

"What distinguished guest?"

The middle-aged man, referred to as Third Uncle, glanced at Wei Kai with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Just a brat, and he has the nerve to call himself a distinguished guest?"

At this, Tian Xiaoling became somewhat flustered and angry: "You... Third Uncle, the store's motto is 'customer first,' show some respect to my guest!"

"What 'your guest'?" Third Uncle said disdainfully, "You're not a salesperson here. Your guests should be next door!"

"You..."

Tian Xiaoling instantly lost her temper.

Although this shop belonged to her family, several of her uncles had a share in it.

The other party was older than her, spoke sharply and harshly, and everything he said was true.

She was indeed not an employee of this shop, and according to the rules, she had no right to bring guests to the second floor.

Tian Xiaoling couldn't refute him at all.

"Then let's go."

Wei Kai suddenly said loudly, "I think the shop next door would be quite interested in this mythical equipment!"

"Mythical equipment!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, someone upstairs gasped, and then a young man rushed out.

A moment later, an old man also appeared.

"You have mythical equipment?"

The young man stared intently at Wei Kai, as if he wanted to rob him.

The old man who appeared later also looked at Wei Kai with interest, seemingly waiting for his answer.

Wei Kai smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I have one. I originally wanted to sell it here, but unfortunately, they don't want it. So..."

"I want it!"

Before he could finish speaking, the young man shouted first, "Name your price!"

At these words, Third Uncle's face immediately turned ugly.

The old man and the young man had originally come to the shop to buy equipment.

Such wealthy individuals, who weren't short on money, had always been the shop's main target; once a deal was made, they could earn at least several million.

Now, an unknown kid had interfered.

If they made a deal directly, wouldn't it mean losing two transactions for nothing?
