In Liu Ming’s opinion, the Knight Mentor’s words were just meant to comfort him and that they were actually set by the system.
However, due to the fact that God Domain’s NPCs were too intelligent, Liu Ming nonetheless bade goodbye to the Knight Mentor politely before heading to the village chief’s home.
The village chief’s home was quite a distance away from where the various mentors were at.
Besides, Liu Ming happened to run into ‘someone familiar’ as he was heading to the village chief’s home. That person was Qingfeng Changge, who previously fought with World Battle Fanatic.
After seeing Liu Ming, Qingfeng Changge immediately walked towards him smilingly and said, “Brother Floating Cloud, you’re indeed impressive. You surpassed us players in guilds in such a short amount of time.”
Hearing that, Liu Ming chuckled and said, “Not at all. I was just lucky enough to have drawn a talent that is more suitable for dealing with Boss-level creatures. To be honest with you, I got this pair of virtual glasses from a lucky draw on the street.” Liu Ming didn’t dare reveal everything about himself in front of Qingfeng Changge—who did not reveal his emotions clearly.
Besides, Liu Ming wasn’t lying. He was indeed very lucky today.
It was none of Liu Ming’s business how Qingfeng Changge interpreted his words and imagined the situation.
After hearing Liu Ming’s words, Qingfeng Changge smiled first. After which, he seemed to have remembered something and asked, “By the way, Brother Floating Cloud, is that equipment set of yours for sale now?”
Liu Ming immediately answered, “Yeah, why not? Are you planning to buy them from me using ten Gold Coins, like what World Battle Fanatic offered? Or do you plan to offer me more?”
Qingfeng Changge was stunned at first. He then smiled and said, “Brother Floating Cloud, that’s not how you should price your items. Although your set of equipment is not bad, it won’t fetch a high price during normal circumstances.”
“Previously, World Battle Fanatic offered ten Gold Coins because the game has just started; hence, that which is rare is dear. It’s definitely not worth ten Gold Coins now.” He continued, “At most, I will offer you five Gold Coins. If you’re asking for a higher price, you’d better sell it to someone else.”
After hearing Qingfeng Changge’s words, Liu Ming was clearly not surprised. However, Liu Ming was not clueless about games even though he was not entirely clear about the market for equipment in God Domain.
Only a short period of time had passed, yet the price he offered had plunged so drastically. Qingfeng Changge was really ruthless when bargaining!
Liu Ming merely calmly said, “I still have two sets of Level 3 Berserking Hound equipment and a few loose pieces of Berserking Hound equipment. I’ll sell them all to you for 25 Gold Coins.”
At this moment, Qingfeng Changge revealed a helpless look and said, “Alright, I’ll suffer a loss today. However, if you have any good items in the future, please sell them to Qingfeng Pavilion first, Brother Floating Cloud.”
Liu Ming did not respond to Qingfeng Changge’s words immediately. After all, they were both willing parties, and none of them owed the other party anything. Liu Ming did not have to make any promises to the other party.
Seeing that, Qingfeng Changge did not get angry either. Instead, he said smilingly, “Brother Floating Cloud, once you leave the novice area, you’d better be careful of the World Guild. World Battle Fanatic is extremely petty. Since you’ve embarrassed him today, he will definitely find trouble with you in the future. Of course, Brother Floating Cloud, if you are willing to join us in Qingfeng Pavilion, we will help you solve the matter regarding World Battle Fanatic.”
Liu Ming obviously understood that Qingfeng Changge was not really trying to warn him against World Battle Fanatic and actually just wanted to recruit him. Hence, Liu Ming simply thanked him and stopped discussing that topic.

After the transaction, Liu Ming arrived at the village chief’s doorstep smoothly.
As soon as Liu Ming entered the front yard of the village head’s home, he happened to see the village chief coming out of his home.
