Chapter 26 (1/2)

“Once in a lifetime deal, golden coins 1:152! If anyone’s interested contact me!”

“Jumping Nucleons Guild buying golden coins at 1:153! Private messages are open!”

As Jiang Qiao and Xia Shan walked through the commercial street, they came across two players who were already buying gold coins on the streets.

As it implied, 1:152 meant that the players were buying gold coins for somewhere around 150 real-life dollars per gold coin, which was already a large amount.

There were only still a few players in game, and so the gold coins produced were high in demand but low in supply. The most pitiful part was that…No players responded to their calls.

They not only shouted out to the players that were passing by, but also continued to spam the chat with the message, speech bubbles popping out of their heads.

But there was only a pitifully low amount of players on the commercial street, and they could only see a couple of Level 25 players as well as a few newbie players.

No one paid them any heed as gold coins were high in demand now. The items sold in NPC shops wasn’t just potions and elixirs, but also single-use magic scrolls and some alchemic items.

These were all important for grinding for levels.

“These game coins are too expensive.” Xia Shan counted carefully, and with the ratio 1:152 she wouldn’t be able to buy a hundred gold coins with two months of her salary.

“Go and grind for levels then, no need to be in such a rush.” Jiang Qiao advised.

“I’ll go clear the newbie missions first, thank you for helping me out! Can I add you as a friend?”

Xia Shan had played MMORPGs before, and she knew that it would be a great help to get an experienced ally now.

“Of course.”

After adding Jiang Qiao as a friend, Xia Shan ran to the nearest newbie mentor and started doing her missions.

“Are you satisfied?” Ocean Blue asked, still invisible. “She doesn’t look like a bad person.”

“Maybe Tiangong-13 gave me the wrong info and she wasn’t an official after all, but we should still keep an eye on her.”

Jiang Qiao came into contact with Xia Shan because of the report that she was an official, and he didn’t want them to give him any trouble.

Xia Shan did give him a little bit of trouble, but only as a player and not an official from the verification department.

Jiang Qiao welcomed players getting into trouble with open arms…He himself was a player that liked to get into trouble too.

As Jiang Qiao was about to go train, another player shouted out on the street, attracting his attention.

“Buying Sacred Souls activation codes for thirty thousand! My DMs are open!

“Buying Sacred Souls activation codes for thirty thousand! My DMs are open!”

After shouting like that, the players on the street all looked at him, including the two players that were shouting to buy gold coins.

The ratio of 1:152 was still considered normal, but 1:30000 was a high enough number to garner the attention of every player that was around.

That amount would probably be the same as a few months or half a year’s worth of the average person’s salary, and even a year’s worth of salary for some people.

But activation codes? Those…don’t exist.

“Hey, thirty thousand he says! Why not sell one?” Ocean Blue asked, her eyes glimmering.

She learned about the real world very quickly, especially on the topic of buying food. Jiang Qiao had set a budget for her, and she could only spend around a hundred every time she called for takeout.
