Chapter 64 – Is this the whip for… that? (2/2)
The whip was passed around the guild masters before being returned to Fatty. Fatty held up the whip with pride, “How is it, everyone? Name your offer. The rental will be for ten days at a time.”
“Is this whip your reward for reclaiming the mine?” East Gate BlowingWind asked.
Fatty nodded, it’s not like he needed to hide that information.
“Haha, Brother Grubber sure is nice to only leave the good stuff for us. Alright, since that’s the case, then we have no need to hold back anymore. Let’s start bidding. I’ll offer 100 gold coins per day to rent it,” Fierce Dragon TheTalent smiled. Perhaps Fatty only auctioning the City Construction Token to them was due to a deal beforehand, but this whip was not included in the deal. The fact that Fatty held it back until now and only left it for them was already being very, very nice.
The value of an additional mastery level for the Mining skill was clearly understood by all the guild masters. Currently, most of the mining players had their skill at the intermediate rank. Having players with an advance rank in it right now would let them get ahead. Although it was just a small benefit now, the mining players would take forever to try and increase the mastery level of the skill when it reaches the master rank. Yet, the whip will provide them with instant grandmaster ranks, so mining out valuable ores was no longer a dream.
“110 gold coins per day,” Liu Lan bit her lips and looked grudgingly at Fatty.
Fatty trembled, and nearly succumbed under Liu Lan’s fierce gaze.
“150,” East Gate BlowingWind called out. The City Construction Token was only a symbolic thing, it doesn’t actually guarantee that guild to be the first to establish their base. However, the whip was different, it was an item that could be used all the way until later on in the game.
“160.”
“180.”
“200.”
The price gradually increased until Fierce Dragon TheTalent finally rented it with a price of 230 gold coins per day.
Although that didn’t sound like much, but what if it was a continuous flow of money for ten, twenty days or even longer? With the current exchange rate of gold coins to cash, it would be an extra ten to twenty thousand RMB per day. Making just renting out the whip far more efficient than any other job Fatty could choose to do.
Fatty smiled brightly and received the 2300 gold coins Fierce Dragon TheTalent handed over. He couldn’t help but estimate a bit in his mind. The three hundred something items netted him 4000 something gold coins, and with these 2300 more, he basically made around sixty something thousand RMB. There was nothing better than that!
After the deals ended, the guild masters all took their leave as they were rather busy. Purple Bell was also dragged away by Wind God’s World, while Liu Lan pinched Fatty extremely hard before leaving, causing Fatty to feel very speechless. Seriously, when did I offend that chick?
Fatty glanced at TheFugitive, who had fallen down to Level 21, then revealed his own level with pride. Level 24 and 63% of the EXP of the bar was filled. He was only a step away from Level 25.
“Young man, don’t be so violent. You have to value peace and harmony,” Fatty patted TheFugitive’s shoulder and preached.
TheFugitive really didn’t know how to respond to that.
“Oh yeah, Fuge, do you think we can go in and kill the advance boss on Azure Dragon City’s Greenery Mountains yet?” Purple Bell’s strength hadleft a deep impression in Fatty’s mind, so he wanted to change class to an Elementalist even earlier than he originally planned.
“You’re kidding. We can’t even kill the Phantom Messenger that’s on the fifth level of Mass Graves, how could we kill the boss monster in Greenery Mountains? You’ve got to understand that the advance boss over there is at least a good ten to twenty levels higher than the Phantom Messenger.”
“Oh, dammit,” Fatty rubbed his chin. He thought about it for a while, but was still unable to think of any good ideas, so he could only give up.
“What are you guys going to do? You can’t still be eyeing the two pretty guild masters of the Ice Rose Alliance, right?” Fatty couldn’t help but ask when he saw how excited the eleven members of God Familia looked as they fanned themselves.
“Haha, life is so boring. What’s not to be happy about when visiting the Underworld with beauties?” HeadofGod smiled.
Fatty rolled his eyes.
“What are you going to do?” TheFugitive asked Fatty when he saw that the latter didn’t seem to have an actual goal in mind.
“Farm, and try to be the first to get to Level 30. I might be able to get some divine artifact as a reward,” Fatty kicked Wheat.
Wheat felt very troubled. When did I piss you off?
“Farming is great. You can get all the girls you want when your level is high. We want to go and farm too, but… Ahh, life will never let you get what you want,” HeadofGod sighed.
“Screw off,” Fatty really didn’t know what to say to them.
“Haha, Brother Grubber, see you.”
The eleven members of God Familia left the bank with loud laughter alongside TheFugitive, catching the attention of many passersby.
“Let’s go as well,” Fatty kicked Wheat again.
Wheat squeaked a few times, then followed Fatty out of town.
