Chapter 22 (2/2)

At the same time, at Lotter City’s Revival Square, World Battle Fanatic looked at his empty equipment slot, and a look of menace appeared on his face immediately. “Floating Cloud, I’m going to deal with you!”

Although the value of White and Green equipment had already decreased to normal prices, pieces of equipment that were Blue and stronger were still in short supply.

After all, with God Domain’s item drop rate, there simply was not enough Blue equipment to be shared amongst the major guilds.

Even now, many guilds’ frontline teams were mostly using Level 5 Blue equipment or Level 10 Green equipment. Only the guilds’ high-ranked players could use Level 10 Blue equipment.

Since World Battle Fanatic did not have a high status in the World Guild, he did not get any important missions. Hence, he only managed to get that piece of Blue equipment with money.

World Battle Fanatic spent 400 Gold Coins to purchase that piece of Blue equipment from a certain elite member of the guild. However, before he could show it off for long, Liu Ming took it from him.

Four hundred Gold Coins was equivalent to 40,000 yuan in real life. He had spent so much money on a piece of equipment, only to have it taken away from him before he could use it for long. How could World Battle Fanatic not hate Liu Ming?

However, World Battle Fanatic also understood that there would be no benefit in bringing his men with him to settle scores with Liu Ming. He would only let Liu Ming obtain more treasures. Hence, World Battle Fanatic stood on the Revival Square and said a few harsh words in the air before scurrying away with a bunch of followers.

…

Although it was impossible for Liu Ming to know that World Battle Fanatic was jealous of him and planned to settle scores with him, he had already expected it. After all, Liu Ming already understood that World Battle Fanatic was narrow-minded and petty after what had just happened.

Previously, Liu Ming had only caused him to be embarrassed, yet he bore a grudge even until this day. World Battle Fanatic would probably develop a huge resentment against Liu Ming for everything that happened today.

However, Liu Ming did not feel too bothered by that. If the World Guild was really willing to go against him for World Battle Fanatic’s sake, he could just fight them.

…

In the real world, Liu Ming looked at the box of takeout on his table after removing his virtual glasses. He smiled and shook his head.

In the past few days, Liu Ming had been rather busy with widening the gap between him and the other players to give himself an advantage. Hence, he had never left his home. However, all of that was worth it to Liu Ming.

In the past few days, Liu Ming managed to earn tens of thousands of yuan at one go because he had converted his game currency to real currency through God Domain’s official channel. If not for the 20% conversion price, Liu Ming would have earned more.

However, Liu Ming had saved plenty of trouble and avoided many unknown dangers by using God Domain’s official channel.

After all, private trading would definitely result in his basic information being revealed.

Liu Ming did not want to end up being beaten up in real life for offending someone in the game.

After a few days of fluctuations, the average conversion rate of private transactions was basically fixed at about 82 to 83 yuan per Gold Coin, which was not much higher than the rate offered by God Domain.

…

After Liu Ming left his home, he soon arrived at a mid-scale restaurant.

For the past few days, Liu Ming had takeout for all his meals. Now that he had earned money, he should naturally treat himself to some good food.

At this moment, a man—who was dressed strangely and looked rather lecherous—appeared amongst the crowd in front of Liu Ming.

The man walked towards Liu Ming and said smilingly, “Hey, aren’t you Liu Ming!?! I heard that you seem to have lost your job recently. Would you like to play God Domain with me? I’m now the team leader of World Guild’s Gold-Grabbing Team No. 3. My salary is 15,000 yuan per month. If you can get a pair of second-batch virtual glasses, I can get you a position in the team.”

…

The guy who was rattling on and on was Liu Ming’s college classmate. Due to the fact that he liked to brag and blow his trumpet, his classmates called him ‘Bigmouth Zhao.’

Bigmouth Zhao did not have any kind intentions in saying so much to Liu Ming.

After all, even if the second batch of virtual glasses’ prices weren’t as outrageously high as the first batch, a normal purchase of a pair of virtual glasses would still cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

Once Liu Ming said that he could not afford to purchase the virtual glasses, Bigmouth Zhao would be able to take back his offer while also ridiculing and criticizing Liu Ming. However, Bigmouth Zhao probably would have never imagined that Liu Ming had soared to greater heights now.
