There were quite a few people selling gold in Floating Ice City, but I would probably be the only person selling 150 gold all at once.
A lot of people shook their heads slowly, as if thinking that no one in their right mind would buy 150 gold all at once. This was not a small amount, even if you exchange 1 gold to 80RMB, it would total up to 12,000RMB. Even with a normal white collar employee’s salary, most people wouldn’t be able to afford it.
At this moment, a sound from the front came suddenly, “150 gold? I’ll take it!”
I lifted my head and to my surprise, I saw a high-levelled knight player amongst the crowd. He wore a heroic, elite-looking armor all over his body. Even the lowest tier equipment that he was wearing was a black-tier. He held an even more magnificent glowing Crescent Blade in his hands, and a line of words floated on top of his head -- Domineering Heaven Blade LV.32 Bronze Knight!
How could it be him?!
I stared blankly for a moment. The Domineering Clan really had big ambitions. Seems like this Clan Leader had wanted the whole of Floating Ice City to know them all by heart. Even now, Domineering Heaven Blade had actually came personally to ask for the gold. Tsk tsk, this guildmaster was really taking care of everything well.
Two thoughts immediately sprung in my mind. This Domineering Heaven Blade was certainly going to be my opponent in the future. Should I sell him my gold?
After thinking for quite a while, I decided to sell in the end! What reason are there for not selling? I could use his money to expand my opportunity for growth in the future, and moreover, this person, who had more money than sense, had served himself on a silver platter for me. Why wouldn’t I take the chance to slaughter him?
Hence, I raised my brows and laughed, “This friend over here, how do you intend to pay for this gold? Right now, you cannot do a bank transfer in-game.”
Domineering Heaven Blade shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “That’s easy. Tell me your bank account number, and I will ask someone to transfer you the money immediately. It would be 5 minutes at the most. After you confirmed that you have received the money, then you can trade your gold with me. Wouldn’t the problem be solved with that?”
I nodded. This person was really liberal with money; moreover, he had a more outspoken and loyal character. He was indeed someone that had the qualities to be successful. Lin Yi Xin’s thoughts were right on the spot; in Floating Ice City, Domineering Heaven Blade and the Domineering Clan were certainly going to be our strongest enemy.
“Listen well, my account number is 662700200873******, China Construction Bank. You can transfer the money right now, I will check it online.”
“OK, no problem!”
Domineering Heaven Blade laughed cheerfully, “Please wait a moment, it will be completed immediately!”
After around 4 minutes, Domineering Heaven Blade said, “It’s done, you can now check your bank account if the money has already been transferred!”
“Ok!”
I called out the web explorer function and went to my bank’s website. After checking the balance on my bank account, I found that the account that had a balance of only 0.47RMB just a few moment ago had already magically turned into 12000.47RMB. Domineering Heaven Blade, this fellow, was indeed a really fat lamb to be slaughtered!
“Is the money transferred?” Domineering Heaven Blade asked.
I nodded, “Ok, let’s trade the gold!”
“Alright!”
Giving Domineering Heaven Blade 150 gold, I hesitated a little and asked him, “Why did you trust me so much? What happen if I simply ran away after taking your money, and did not give you even a single gold? Won’t you suffer heavy losses?”
Domineering Heaven Blade couldn’t help but laughed out loud, “What a joke, that’s a really low possibility. As for running away&h.e.l.lip; I wouldn’t even care so much about this little amount of money. Furthermore, I trust you. It was not because of the amount of gold, but it’s the&h.e.l.lip;”
“What is it?”
“It’s just because, you are Fallen Hero! Hahah, a reputable player on the Player Ranking Board would treasure their ID as much as they treasure their lives. Looking through the China Servers, take a look at Chaos Illumination and Fallen Dust. They are all like that, aren’t they?”
I nodded, smiling indifferently, “That makes sense. Let’s work together again in the future. I’ve got to go now!”
“Alright!”
Looking at the time, it was almost 8am in the morning. However, I wasn’t a little bit sleepy in the least. Instead, I sent a message to Du s.h.i.+ San, “s.h.i.+ San, log out. I want to discuss something with you for a while!”
“Oh? Ok!”
Du s.h.i.+ San had almost finished his levelling and was about to sleep. He had intended to log out hurriedly and quickly go to sleep afterwards.
He came to the living room and sat on the sofa. s.h.i.+ San looked at me with a tired expression and asked, “What did you want to discuss?”
“That&h.e.l.lip;” I muttered to myself a little and said, “We&h.e.l.lip; Should we create our own game studio?”
“What?! Game Studio?!” s.h.i.+ San was astonished beyond words.
“Yeah.” I explained, “<Heaven’s End> had a large base of players. It wouldn’t be possible to be successful with just one person’s efforts himself; even killing BOSS would be extremely dangerous. That’s why, we would probably need to attract heroes from all over the place in order to establish our position in the Floating Ice City!”
s.h.i.+ San became even more excited at my words, his face red as he clenched his fist and smiled, “Brother, just say the word. What do you want me to do? I had always intend to be powerful and well-known in game. Say it quickly, which expert players should we attract for this game studio we are making?”
I replied solemnly, “You, me.”
“What! Only the two of us?”
“It could only be like this in the meanwhile. We can expand in the future, but right now, we would need to find a new place to live first.” Looking at my miserable one-room-flat, I could neither cry nor laugh as I said, “It’s too small here, we should look for a four-room-flat for us to live in. How’s that?”
s.h.i.+ San said, “Sure, but it’s too expensive. In the city, even if it’s in the New District, a four-room-flat’s monthly rent would probably be at least 3000 RMB. With the addition of mortgage, deposit and so on, we would need at least 12000 RMB.”
I nodded and smiled, “Money is not the problem. We can earn it back if we continued to play the game. Right now, could you accompany me to find a house? Let’s take the first step of setting up our game studio together, ok?”
“Sure, no problem!
Du s.h.i.+ San immediately stood up, an unyielding expression filled his face. What a hot-blooded young man&h.e.l.lip; However, he immediately said something that made me almost vomit blood, “In the future when our game studio is established, can we invite a few beauties to join our guild? Then&h.e.l.lip;heheh, completing quests wouldn’t be so hard when you are partnered with a girl!”
I looked down on him in disdain and glared, “And it would be best if these few beauties stayed in the same room as you, right?”
“d.a.m.n, what kind of person did you take me as? I, Du s.h.i.+ San, am&h.e.l.lip; am an honest and upright person! But, how about this, you and I can each take one beauty, you can even take the more beautiful one to your room&h.e.l.lip;”
“Go away!”
