I made over 200 Glutinous Rice b.a.l.l.s and sold them for 10 silver each, or 1 gold per stack. The price tag we put up was honestly on the expensive side, but because the demand was greater than supply we were able to sell everything and make a killing in just half an hour!
Floating Ice City was crawling with pros, and there were plenty of guilds and gaming workshops who planned to amaze the world with a brilliant feat. Supplies like these were absolutely critical in securing an early game advantage, but most players either couldn't find the source of the ingredients or couldn't win against the mobs that controlled the locations such as the Pheasants at Wild Pheasant Ridge. That was why people who possessed both the strength and the business ac.u.men like me were able to lay claim to this opportunity before anyone else.
I checked my bag and counted 34 gold in total. I probably qualified to challenge Floating Ice City's richest people ranking right now. I pa.s.sed 10 gold to Du Thirteen and smiled. ”Take this and go learn your cla.s.s skills!”
”This is a lot!” Du Thirteen looked shocked.
”It's fine, just spend the rest on potions.”
”Okay.”
After Du Thirteen had stocked up on potions, he formed a team with someone else and left to grind. I left the city myself to choose the location I would make my push to Level 30!
In Heavenblessed, Level 30 was undoubtedly a power spike point. Once a player reached it, they would be able to learn more skills and own up to three pets. Pets made battles a lot less time-consuming and troublesome than they were currently.
Before doing that though, I opened Floating Ice City's Heavenly Ranking to take a look. I noticed that the placements had changed drastically again.

I was barely hanging on to the 9th place, and even Lin Yixin was only at 6th because we killed the h.e.l.l out of each other earlier. Meanwhile, Dominating Heaven Blade had claimed the top spot. As expected, he was no slouch in this game. Someone who could reach Level 29 in such a short time couldn't be average.
Besides that, there were 4 other people from the Domination Clan on the Heavenly Ranking, meaning that half of its spots were taken by Domination Clan. Their sphere of influence must be through the roof right now!
I also needed to watch out for the two newcomers, Inconstant and Iron Pardon. They had surpa.s.sed their predecessors and broken into the Heavenly Ranking, so there had to be something special about them as well!
I was just about to take my leave when a beep suddenly entered my ears.
System Notice: Player ”Iron Pardon” has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?
The notice caught me slightly off-guard. Iron Pardon was looking for me?
I confirmed the request and waited for a few seconds. A message soon appeared before me. ”Hey there, Broken Halberd. Has your Cooking skill reached Rank 3?”
”Yes. What is it?” I didn't try to hide my skill rank.
”It's like this, I'd like to buy 50 Rank 3 Consumables from you, the kind that add 300 MP in 60 seconds. You can set the price, but I need them within 24 hours. Think you can manage?”
I mulled over the offer for a moment. It would be foolish to turn down a client, and so far this Iron Pardon seemed like a guy worth knowing.
I replied, ”Alright, I'll come to you in 24 hours. Fifty Rank 3 Consumables, 50 silver each. Is that okay with you?”
Iron Pardon didn't reply for almost two minutes straight. If I had to guess, he was stunned by the exorbitant demand. Right now there were many players who didn't even have 10 silver in their pockets, and here I was demanding 50 silver for Rank 3 Consumables. I didn't think that I was being unreasonable, however. At this stage, the only reason someone would need this many Rank 3 Consumables was to prepare for a boss fight. Priests' Rank 2 healing skills cost a lot of MP, and without Rank 3 Consumables, they were simply not sustainable. If a priest ran out of mana and the entire team lost their source of heals, they would lose far more than some gold and Rank 3 Consumables. Therefore, rather than an expenditure, it was more of an investment to prevent a bigger loss down the road.
As I expected, Iron Pardon replied after a few minutes, ”Okay, 50 silver it is. The more, the better. We'll take however many you'll have by then!”
”Alright, that's settled then. See you later!”
”See you later!”
I mulled over my plans for a moment before deciding to hunt for ingredients and experience at the same time. Yesterday, Du Thirteen told me that he only had a couple hundred RMB left in his pockets, so if we didn't get any income soon, we would both starve.
