Free Mode in World of Ancient Gods was the newest mode, but it also brought lots of problems.

Previously, professional players had higher experience points and consciousness than the average player. Other than that, their gaming execution was similar.

On the other hand, athletes and people with specialized professions had the upper hand in the game.

To get a full body of equipment in Free Mode, players had to slay bosses, which was practically impossible at this point in time.

The settings to allow players to successfully score critical hits made matters worse. Eventually, players would get better and get used to the settings, but now it was just the third day since the game had started running. It was considered lucky for a player to be able to obtain a Green weapon.

For average players who wanted Blue equipment, the only way to obtain it was to depend on their luck while opening treasure chests.

The vice president of Caesar Guild, Godzilla, saw the elite materials displayed at the booth. “How much CP are you selling these for?”

“These are only sold in in-game currency,” Li Yao replied. He wanted to learn engineering, but he must have a huge sum of money to do so. Besides, he was not in any guild. If all of the items were sold in CP, it would greatly affect his plans in the game.

“Alright, hold on for a moment. I will get the required amount,” said Godzilla.

“Okay, I will stay here for another two hours.”

“That would be enough.” Godzilla left in a hurry.

It had been awhile since Godzilla left. There were not many players that could afford the Velociraptor’s crown. In the end, he had only sold about ten crowns in an hour.

“Alas, it is a pity that there are only people from this one novice village. My items would have been sold out within ten minutes if I were to advertise through the worldwide channel. This is wasting too much time.”

He was not worried about the price drop in the Battle and Defense Souls, such consumable items were always in need.

For the 300 elite crowns he had, he had to sell them all or else the price drop would be too significant.

“President, this is my dagger. That’s right, it was this fella that killed me twice.” TacoFingers shouted as he pointed at Li Yao.

Li Yao cocked his brow. “You were the bandit that sneaked within ten yards of me and spied on me from amongst the bushes for almost five minutes. Am I not supposed to kill you and let you have the chance to kill me? This must be your first time playing games, little kiddo.”

TacoFingers was flustered, his body trembled with anger as he raised his finger at Li Yao. “You have no respect at all! What do you mean by my first time playing games? I am the main bandit player of Glory team.”

“That is really impressive, top class of the team, you have my admiration.” Li Yao chuckled.

TacoFingers was even more flustered, that sounded more like sarcasm than a real compliment.

Just as TacoFingers was about to rebut, he received a glare from BroadSky. “You’re very strong, not even TacoFingers could lay a finger on you. Regardless of whether we know each other or not, let’s become friends first.”

“No problem at all.” Li Yao quickly added him into his friends list. “Sky Bro, are you going to seek redemption for your minion?”

Li Yao knew BroadSky, he was the president of Glory Club’s first guild. Glory Guild was easily listed as Hua Xia’s top fifty guilds. If combined with all of the guilds under Glory Club, they were easily ranked in Hua Xia’s top ten guilds. Besides, BroadSky was also the nation’s top three commanders.

Ten years later, even though he did not become one of the divine gods involved in Battle of the Gods, his influence was on par with the divine god players.

In Li Yao’s past life, they knew each other but did not mingle much. BroadSky was a good person, which was also the reason why he had so many friends by his side.

“Kill or be killed, that is quite common in games. I was about to let TacoFingers compete with you. Never would I have thought that you’re the same FieryStar who had soloed a boss. There is no need for competition anymore, TacoFingers did not die in vain. I would like to buy back this dagger.” BroadSky laughed.

“Of course you can. I will let you name the price.” Li Yao was more than willing to sell the dagger as doing so should dissipate the grudge they held and put it behind them.

“Since this is a regular sale, I will not put you in a disadvantage. Blue equipment are normally priced at 7,000 CP and weapons are usually more expensive, how about 9,000 CP?”

“Deal.” Li Yao nodded in satisfaction. Now that he was still a casual player, it was quite impossible for him to enter the social circles of big guilds. However, from what he knew, 9,000 CP was already considered a high price.

Once Li Yao received a notification for the transaction, he handed over the dagger to BroadSky.

BroadSky gave the dagger to TacoFingers.

“Sky Bro, this…” TacoFingers’s eyes reddened.

“Keep it, this is on the guild. After all, this was considered as equipment lost during a guild event. This has little to do with you so there’s no need to feel that I’m giving you special treatment. Every member of the guild is treated equally.”

TacoFingers took the dagger and was speechless.

Li Yao gave a hidden thumbs up. BroadSky had always been generous and treated all matters equally regardless of the level of importance. Even so, he was bold and had lots of friends.

Headhunting members from other guilds and clubs was a common practice amongst clubs and guilds. Ever since the game had started running years ago, it was difficult for other guilds to headhunt players from Glory Guild.

At this moment, BroadSky’s attention had shifted to the Elite Velociraptor’s Crowns at the side. His eyes widened. “You are truly a master who has soloed a Boss. There are almost 20 elite crowns here. If the price is reasonable, I would like to buy these too.”

An elite critical hit item could not only help players to acquire a piece of uncommon equipment, it could also help to acquire a weapon if the player were lucky enough. More importantly, players below Level 10 could acquire a special exp buff. Although it could only provide a 3% exp buff, levelling up was too difficult and this buff was relatively important.

“Wait! Caesar Guild already has its eye on these crowns.” Godzilla shouted after he overheard BroadSky’s conversation with Li Yao. He had just returned.

BroadSky paused for a moment and smiled. “When did Caesar Guild become so domineering? We can’t buy just because you had your eye set on it first?”
