“I’ll also put this item up for sale and see if anyone will buy it.”

As Jiang Shan spoke, he directly raised his hand and quickly equipped the Ant King’s Set, using the materials that Mo Xiao had requested earlier.

“I don’t need that Death Spider Web anymore; 1 already got it,” Mo Xiao quickly replied upon seeing the situation.

“Huh? You got the Death Spider Web??” Jiang Shan looked surprised at Mo Xiao and said, “If I didn’t know your background, I would suspect you were an orphan. The Death Spider Web is a material that only drops from level 40 bosses, and you managed to obtain it?”

Mo Xiao was taken aback for a moment but then said, “I got it from opening a treasure chest.”

“…” Jiang Shan’s mouth slightly opened, envy written all over his face, “It’s impressive to kill monsters beyond your level. Treasure chests aren’t that easy to come by.”

“Is that so? I think it’s not a big deal; you can get one by killing any boss,” Mo Xiao replied calmly.

How could Jiang Shan not know that bosses could drop treasure chests? However, he was referring to high-level treasure chests. The regular bosses dropped only common ones, which didn’t offer anything valuable.

High-level treasure chests would only drop if a boss was killed beyond one’s level or if it was the first time killing a boss of higher rank.

From the second time onwards, the drop rate of high-level treasure chests would plummet.

However, to Mo Xiao, this was not an issue because he had the Snatch Medal, which ensured that such treasure chests would always drop for him.

Thus, he couldn’t understand the struggles of others.

“Alright, the settings are nearly complete. If there’s any news, I’ll inform you immediately. Do you have anything else to sell? Or do you want to buy something? This system is almost connected to high-level professionals worldwide, and you can find almost anything you need here,” Jiang Shan explained.

“As a professional like you, what you might lack the most are skills, right? Do you want to buy a couple of skill books?”

“I don’t have money,” Mo Xiao replied without hesitation. “I still want to save some money for a better place to live.”

“I’ll help you settle the accommodation. Our base city has a house specially assigned to professionals. It just needs to show a certain amount of merit. With your current talent, you can choose the house. If you can become the top scholar, you can even live in the City Lord’s Residence.”

Hearing this, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. In his previous life, buying a house would have required exhausting all the family’s assets for three generations, but now he could just choose one casually?

This was too magical…

Seeing Mo Xiao’s dumbfounded expression, Jiang Shan continued, “If you’re willing to keep leveling up with my niece, 1 can directly give you a Jiang Family villa. How about that?”

“Let’s… let’s talk about that later,” Mo Xiao shook his head, instantly returning to his usual aloof demeanor. “Since there are skill books available, I’ll buy two. Are they expensive?”

Seeing that Mo Xiao didn’t refuse, a cunning glint flashed in Jiang Shan’s eyes, but he didn’t continue on that topic. Instead, he followed Mo Xiao’s words, “Skill books are not cheap at all. Even random skill books can cost tens of thousands or more.”

“If you want to talk about relatively cheaper options… that would be the Basic Professional Skill Books,” Jiang Shan suggested..

“What are those?”

Mo Xiao had never heard of the term ‘Basic Professional Skill Books,’ but from the name, it seemed like they were some fundamental skills that all professionals should have.

“For example, there’s a skill called Restorative Meditation that all professions can use to slowly restore their health and mana when they’re out of potions…” Jiang Shan said with a peculiar look at Mo Xiao, “By the way, you’re a Solo Player… you don’t even have this skill?”

“I don’t,” Mo Xiao said with much annoyance.

Although the Solo Player profession was well-known, historically, it had only appeared once and had not achieved any notable accomplishments. The lone player of that time had died during a class transfer quest when he was only level 30.

Even though he left behind a skill compendium, no one bothered to seriously examine it. They only knew that it was a profession without any skills, which led to Mo Xiao being ridiculed when he reappeared in this world.

“Alright…” Jiang Shan awkwardly scratched his head and quickly bought a copy of Restorative Meditation for Mo Xiao.

Although it was a skill that everyone had, because it was in the form of a skill book, it still sold for over ten thousand gold coins. Anyone who bought it was usually considered a bit of a fool.

“Do you need anything else?” Jiang Shan asked as he opened the skill book auction panel.

Although it was an advanced auction house, all the skills available were entirely blue, with hardly any purple ones.

“Help me buy a copy of the basic skills for every profession; 1 can use them all anyway,” Mo Xiao browsed through the skill books in front of him, finding nothing remarkable.

For Mo Xiao, high-level skill books could easily be obtained from monsters, treasure chests, or even copying them from others.

There was no need to spend money to buy them. However, basic skills were much harder to come by since they were likely obtained by other professions during their class transfer quests.

“Sure, you may think these are basic skills and not that powerful, but they are all blue-tier skill books,” Jiang Shan said as he sifted through them. “If they weren’t considered as professional basics, their prices would be outrageous.”

“Blue-tier?”

Hearing this, Mo Xiao lowered his head and looked at the breathing technique in his hand.

[Skill Book – Restorative Meditation (Blue): Allows you to restore health and mana by meditating, recovering 1% per minute.]

“This kind of trash skill considered blue-tier?” Mo Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.

“Who knows?” Jiang Shan shrugged, then quickly brought out a pile of skill books. “These are probably all you can find.”

“There are mage, priest, swordsman, archer, warrior, knight, and assassin skills… emm, that’s all,” Jiang Shan said, rubbing his chin.

Mo Xiao pondered for a moment and curiously asked, “Don’t you have any basic skill books for your profession?”

Jiang Shan was slightly taken aback by the question but then smiled and replied, “I, like you, belong to a rare profession, a hidden class. The basic skill for my profession, assassin, can be learned, so it doesn’t count as a basic occupational skill.”

“I see.”

Seeing Mo Xiao like this, Jiang Shan immediately smiled and said, “If I succeed in my next profession change, I’ll think of a way to get you one, okay?”

“Thanks a lot.”

“Haha, we’re in this together, no need to be polite,” Jiang Shan chuckled and directly handed the skill books to Mo Xiao. “That’s all for now. I’ll help you keep an eye on your Ant King Set. There’s no problem.”

“If you still have the Black Ant Set, you can trade it to me directly. I’ll help you sell it. I only have one request. Treat my Little Jiang He well and help her level up properly..”
