Chapter 25: Fruit Forest (2/2)
In this time, many others started coming here to cook. The Shadow Clan's members were probably afraid and no longer appeared.
I walked out and saw many people on the way that were synthesizing. There was a human female called ”Beauty Raises Leg”. Therefore, a line appeared in my message menu—
System Notice: Beauty Raises Leg created Applesauce!
System Notice: Beauty Raises Leg created Applesauce!
System Notice: Beauty Raises Leg created Applesauce!
……
I—d.a.m.n! This girl looked very gentle. I wonder what she would think of such a notice.
I pa.s.sed some other fruit trees along the way and gathered a few more dozen Apples. I ma.s.s-produced Applesauce. Soon after, with a ding, my Cooking skill reached Rank 2. I could create the Rank 2 Glutinous Rice b.a.l.l.s! As for my Foraging skill, it had reached Rank 2 a long time ago. I was in the earliest group of players, and had beaten my compet.i.tion by sweeping entire Fruit Forest before ma.s.ses came, my Foraging skill reaching Rank 3!
I came to Floating Ice City. While I had a red name, I relied on my great equipment and entered the city openly, my red name immediately disappearing. I then went to plaza and shouted, ”Freshly made Applesauce. One silver per bottle. Mage friends who need them, come and buy, they are cheap!”
My price was not high, and less than half of the others' prices. I just wanted to get some money.
Soon, a group of people circled me. Mages above Level 20 only had 300 MP, and a Rank 1 Fire Dragon Spell would use 20 MP per cast. Without magic consumables, there was no way for them to sustain it. As a result, players who teamed up with mages outside would first look at mages' ”supplies” before setting out. For this reason, these things were really easy to sell.
In just ten short minutes, I got a gold coin. When it came to the last few dozen bottles, I was slightly unscrupulous, and raised the price to 2 silver. Regardless, I managed to sell them all.
At this time, someone shouted nearby, ”Selling Level 10 no-stat leather armor, Defense 2-8. You're welcome to buy. Also, buying Rank 1 skins, either from Big-eared Rabbits or Goblins. Paying 20 copper each!”
I walked over quickly. This was a Level 17 player called ”Dominating Little Tailor” who was clearly specializing in production. Likely a tailor, and from the Domination Clan, the amazing clan that took up half the spots on the Heavenly Ranking.
”Bro, do you want Bear Skins?”
I went forward and asked with a smile. At the same time, I showed a Wild Bear Skin. This was a drop I took using Death Plunder. I had 250 of them lying in my bag.
This player gaped. ”Re-really? Rank 2 material...”
”Do you want it or not?” I pretended to be irritated.
”Yes, of course!” The little tailor's eyes regained their focus and he said, ”One for 50 copper. Brother, how many do you have?”
I twisted my mouth. ”Really, one for 50 copper? Who are you fooling? Rank 1 furs and skins can be sold for 30 copper. And you want to buy Rank 2 one for 50? Never mind, I won't sell. I will find someone else!”
The little tailor hurriedly stopped me and laughed. ”Brother, do not leave. How about you set the price?”
I thought for a moment. ”Two silver for one...”
The little tailor was immediately stunned. He clearly could not accept this price.
I smiled slightly, and added, ”It's fine if you do not want it. I have more than two hundred, I'll just find another buyer!”
”What? More than 200?”
The little tailor could not keep calm. As a gaming clan, it was very important to monopolize the market in the early stages. If another clan got two hundred Rank 2 skins and trained an super expert tailor, Domination Clan would fall behind.
”Bro, wait a minute, okay?” the little tailor pleaded.
I nodded and stood at the side.
The tailor seemed to be sending a message to his superiors. A moment later, he walked over and said, ”2 silver each, we have a deal! How many do you have?”
I calculated. ”257. Alright, I'll sell it as 250.”
”Good!”
The little tailor opened the trade window. I provided 250 Rank 2 Bear Skins, he put in 500 silver, or in other words, 5 gold!
The transaction was concluded immediately. I now had 7 gold coins in my bag. At present, I could be said to be very wealthy. This Domination Clan was very rich too. The game hadn't been open for that long and they already had a production-based player who carried around so much gold.
I waved my hand and laughed. ”Brother, hope we'll be lucky to meet soon!”
In reality, I could use the Bear Skins to make money. The price of gold offline had reached 50 RMB per 1 gold. Just by selling Bear Skins, I could earn more than a thousand in a day!
Pity that my ambitions were not limited to the Bear Skin. I knew that if I continued to roam and break new ground with my present strength, my a.s.sets would not be limited to just that!
Behind me, the little tailor whispered, ”Bro, may I ask, where... where did you get so many Bear Skins?”
I turned and smiled. ”No comment. How could I tell this to you, hahaha...”
I laughed inside. Even if I told them I had gotten them at Wild Forest, they didn't have Death Plunder. Would they even get them?
……
I came to Floating Ice City's warehouse and requested to open an official warehouse. But the elf manager said, ”You are a Night Creature, so the opening fee is doubled. Your opening fee is 2 gold to open a 100 slot warehouse!”
”d.a.m.n, so expensive?!”
I glared at her, but this female elf only looked at me silently.
Fine, I would pay. Who let them be the official party anyway?
After opening the warehouse, I ran to the plaza again and shouted loudly, ”Selling an Iron-grade weapon, the Forest Green Blade. Melee players, come take a look!”
