Returning to the Floating Ice City, I immediately created my Level 4 Food Items. Truthfully, I should have been the first player to create level 4 Food Items. If I said my cooking level out loud, I would probably shock a lot of people.
Arriving at the storehouse, I took out a huge amount of salt and chicken from my storage after talking with the NPC. I also had enough ginger in my inventory. Seemed like my profit-making chance has come.
Opening the cooking interface, I added the ingredients: Chicken x 20, Salt x 10 & Ginger x 15. I started the cooking and immediately, a ball of magic light floated in my hands–
“Ding~!”
System Announcement: You have made Cold Sliced Chicken x4. Your cooking skill gains +5 exp!
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
Ha? I made 4 Lv-4 Food Items in one go?
I was overjoyed and immediately entered the second round of ingredients. Indeed, this time I got 3 portions of Cold Sliced Chicken. This Food Item was an extremely delicious chicken meat wrapped in leaves that could heal 400 mana in a moment. It was a high quality item that any high-levelled mages must have at all times!
After almost half an hour, I made a total 120 portions of Lv.4 Food Item. It was divided into 12 slots, with 10 Cold Sliced Chicken in each slot. All these were equivalent to cas.h.!.+
Setting up a stall in the plaza, I hid my player ID before I shouted loudly, “Selling Lv. 4 Food Items, it’s an item that can heal 400 mana in one go! Don’t miss it, it’s on sale now! 80 silvers for each Lv. 4 Food Items! Anyone who needs it, please come and see!”
In this crazy times, 80 silvers is equivalent to 800 RMB. Normally, who would want to spend 80 RMB on one mana recovery item?
However, there were a lot of rich, extravagant people in front of me. They were all people who afford throwing hundreds of golds just for high-levelled Food Items!
Many high-levelled players started to gather together. Most of them were conservative and only bought 1 or 2 Lv 4 Food Items. At the most, there were some who bought 5 portions. It was as if they had bought it because they were going to kill some BOSS with their comrades. In reality, high-levelled magicians and priests, especially priests who consumed 30 mana for a Level 3 Holy Light, would need a lot of mana. If they didn’t consume high-levelled Food Items, they would have consumed all their mana in 2 minutes. At that time, the chances of their team being completely decimated would be very high.
In the midst of the racket, suddenly a voice resounded, “The person who is selling the Food Item, I want to buy all of your goods. How many do you still have?”
I froze. Turning around, I saw two high-levelled heavy-armoured players talking to me!
They were Red Iron Tablet and Rainy Clouds. These two people were not only one of the red-named players in the Floating Ice CIty Player Ranking Board, they were also the aces in Mad Dragon Guild, nicknamed the “Twin Stars”. I would never have thought of meeting them here.
Although I hid my ID, my equipments were all too eye-catching. Furthermore, I always wore a cloak to hide my face. It was extremely easy for them to recognise me.
Red Iron Tablet’s eyebrows shot up as he shouted, “It’s you!”
I laughed, “Yeah it’s me, what are you going to do about it? Do you still want to buy the Food Items?”
“Yes, of course we want to buy it!” Rainy Clouds gritted his teeth and said, “How many Level 4 Food Items do you have in total? Humph, don’t tell me you are not going to sell it to us just because we PKed before?”
I smiled, “Revenge and business are two different things. Of course I’m not that close-minded!”
Saying that, I counted the remaining goods in my inventory and said, “I still have 95 portions. Since you guys want to buy everything, then I shall give you a special price. One Level 4 Food Items for 1 gold!”
“What?!” Red Iron Tablet shouted furiously, “Didn’t you sell it for 80 silvers each to those other people?”
“You guys are different, you guys are special!” I said, indifferently.
Rainy Clouds held back Red Iron Tablet who were about to explode and replied, “Here’s 95 gold. Let’s trade, sell me those Level 4 Food Items!”
“OK!”
I happily opened the trade interface and placed 95 portions of Cold Sliced Chicken while Rainy Clouds placed 95 gold. With a “ding”, the trade was completed!
Red Iron Tablet was a little unsatisfied. Lin Yi Xin and I had stolen the BOSS that they had fought so bitterly after all, yet they still had to pay me money right now.
“Rainy Clouds&h.e.l.lip; how could you allow that brat to do this?” Red Iron Tablet shouted furiously.
Rainy Clouds smiled lightly, “Young Master had already issued his command, we must get 100 portions of Level 4 Food Items. We shouldn’t say any more, in any case, Young Master had given us the funds to buy it.”
“Humph!”
Red Iron Tablet stormed away angrily, while Rainy Clouds shot me a warning glance, smiling, “Business is business. Brat, you should be careful when you step out of the Floating Ice City!”
I didn’t reply him. Instead, I sent a message to Du s.h.i.+ San, “Come to Floating Ice City, quick. Be prepared to sell gold!”
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
After a few minutes, Du s.h.i.+ San arrived. He traded me and gave me 40 gold as he laughed, “We should already have a total of more than 100 gold, right?”
“How much would a 100 gold be worth?” I opened my hands and a bunch of gold appeared on my palms. A line of numbers that showed exactly how much gold I had appeared: 258.
“What the h.e.l.l?” s.h.i.+ San was thoroughly shocked before he started laughing out loud. He patted my shoulders, laughing like a maniac as he said, “We actually had that much money?! Isn’t this the same as when we had those RMB20,000? Hahah, Lu Chen, Little Ghost and I were actually troubled about how we were going to pay for our rent next month~~”
I replied, “Don’t be too happy, the value of gold will decrease with time. Quick and get a client to sell the gold to!”
“What do you mean client? We can just sell it on a platform in the forums!”
“Oh? There’s that kind of system?”
