He Yi, Murong Mingyue, and Beiming Xue enthusiastically invited Lin Yixin to the workshop for the night. As a result, I felt as though I was completely seen through.
Fortunately, everyone was tired. We washed up and went to sleep, Lin Yixin in Beiming Xue's room next to mine. I originally planned to lay in bed and let my mind roam about. As soon as my head touched the pillow however, I fell into deep slumber.
The next morning, I woke up to eat.
”Sis, where is Lin Yixin?” I asked.
Murong Mingyue glanced at me. ”She returned an hour before you woke up.”
”Oh? So early...”
”Early? It's nine o'clock...”
“...”
……
After eating breakfast, I quickly went online. The siege on Night Creatures of Violet Forest was planned for noon. Players could join the fight and acc.u.mulate glory points by killing monsters. Top ten contributors would receive rewards. Although there were no specific details, they were bound to be good. Otherwise, the system wouldn't mention “extraordinary” items and pets.
I went online at 9:30, too early. If I logged in at 11, I would get to the camp just in time for siege. But now, it was too late to go grind somewhere as well. Thus, I went to the eastern plaza of Floating Ice City and began selling some of the good items I had gotten from Hundred Flower Valley's quest. I was eager to see how much gold they would net me.
These were mostly level 70–85 Dark Steel or Silver–grade equipment, suitable from intermediate to expert players. Those wealthy people who only wanted Gold and Dark Gold–grade equipment wouldn't even spare them a glance.
My sales unexpectedly turned out pretty well. In less than an hour, I had sold more than half of my stock. At high prices too!
One Level 75 warrior lingered in front of my stall. He was a barbarian with an open chest armor, a hairy chest, and leopard-ringed eyes. He held a battle axe and looked hatefully at me. He pointed at a Level 75 Silver-grade helmet on the stall and said, ”Boy, how much is this +7 Tactics helmet?”
I took a look and said coolly, ”Brother, based on your extraordinary appearance and bearing, I will give it to you cheap—5000 gold.”
”What? This Silver-grade item is worth 5000 RMB?” The barbarian warrior was shocked.
I gave a small smile and said calmly, ”Look. This is an item that boosts your Tactics by 7! Normal helmets do not add any Tactics. Do you know what this means? You cannot underestimate the value of 7 Tactics. If your Encourage is boosted by a great margin and you boost your party's Attack by 1000%, 7 Tactics will be a further 7% boost. General Skills can be used on up to 19 party members, so it will be a 70% boost. Let me ask you, don't you think you're robbing me by buying a helmet that boosts your party's attack power by 70% for measly 5000 gold?!”
”Ah? !”
The barbarian warrior shook, calculated and then pointed at the helmet. ”Quick, let's make the transaction. I want this helmet! Here, 5000 gold!”
”Alright, have a good day!”
I saw him off with a smile. 5000 gold to me. Oh, business was so good these days, especially when encountering customers with all brawn and no brain.
After another while, a Level 71 mage stopped in front of my stall. She looked at Level 70 Dark Steel–grade wristguards and said weakly, ”Handsome, what are you selling these wristguards with 3 Tactics and 2% Magic Attack increase for?”
I looked and asked, ”This is a very good item with two bonuses. It can even be considered several levels above normal Silver-grade items of a similar level. Name a price, I'll sell if it's suitable!”
The little mage had eyes filled with affection and said, ”I really want these wristguards, but I don't have enough money. I only have 240 gold. Can I buy them for 240 gold? If I get it, I will be able to learn Encourage and will become the party leader after reaching Level 80. I can lead my roommates to level up then...”
I smiled. ”Alright, I'll give you a friendly discount. 200 gold is enough. Leave 40 gold to buy food for yourself. Magic Consumables are not cheap these days!”
”Ah? Thank you, thank you...” The little mage was extremely grateful and bought the wristguards.
……
I looked at my stall. There weren't many items left. I had nearly thirty thousand gold in my bag. If I converted it, it would be thirty thousand RMB. Tsk tsk, it was very profitable to go through high-level maps with high level and good equipment, especially by using a choke point to kill monsters. The monster drop rate was low, but if you killed more, good equipment would eventually drop. Pa.s.sive stats of items differed. Some Dark Steel–grade items had even 4% Attack boosts. Being the best bang for buck, the market for these items was even higher than for Gold-grade equipment!
Beep!
A message came from Du Thirteen: ”Lu Chen, what are your plans for the Violet Empire quest? Will you fight with us, or make a party with He Yi and Beiming Xue? b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have organized almost a thousand people each and plan to go together. In total, we will have around 2000 people.”
I thought and responded. ”I'll decide based on the situation. Right now, I don't know where Skull Castle is. Let's see what this reestablishment war is about before we make major decisions. Most likely you and Xu Yang will lead the guild to the frontlines while Frost Cloud workshop will be a flex team, moving between objectives.”
”Okay, we are going to depart. Are you coming soon?”
”Yes, good luck, get us some items!”
”Haha!”
……
I closed the communication system and looked up, seeing two beautiful legs in front of me, the robes flying in the wind. Such a seductive priest robe!
