Chapter 95 – Bai Xiaosheng’s Capability (1/2)
Back in Black Tortoise City, everybody let out sighs of relief. Although nothing too huge had happened in Vermillion Bird City, they went through multiple fights with players, killed monsters and kill stole monsters. The continuous combat really wore them down.
“Fatty, we’re going to farm. Do you want to come?” HeadofGod asked after they walked out of the portal.
“Nah, I still have to finish the mission,” Fatty thought back to his “Sealing the Crack” mission. Although there was no time limit, it was definitely better to finish a mission the city lord gave out as soon as possible. If he comes to find me and I didn’t finish it… I’m sure that City Lord Lin Xi wouldn’t mind giving me a “little” punishment. What’s more, I also borrowed his name in the Fire Valley. He won’t let me off easily if he finds out!
Thus, Fatty separated from TheFugitive and God Familia. He went offline to eat, rest a bit and deal with some biological problems, then searched the mission items he needed on the forums.
Out of the required items, he had already harvested the Snowsilver Grass and could get a bottle of mid rank yao blood from Wheat. However, he didn’t have any clues about the other three.
Holy Spirit Stone – A magical stone storing light energy. It is very popular amongst light mages and is harmful towards dark monsters. It is very rare.
Fatty hunted the forums a while more, but he couldn’t find any useful news for the other items. I guess I’m going to have to buy more information from the All-Knowing Sect.
After a meal and a bit of exercise, he put on his gaming helmet and logged back into Eternal. As he looked at the passing people in front of him, he suddenly realized that it would be rather difficult to find an All-Knowing Sect member in the crowds. But I guess I’ll just contact the guy I met.
He entered Bai Xiaosheng093 as the recipient of his mail and sent a message, then very quickly received a reply which asked him to meet at the entrance of the bank at Black Tortoise City.
…
At the entrance to the bank…
“So Brother Money Grubber was the older brother of Pink Beauty, the number one beauty of Vermillion Bird City. I did not pay enough respect to you!” Bai Xiaosheng093 laughed.
“Haha, I guess I’m going to be famous because of my little sister now,” Fatty said in self-mockery. “I would like to know where I can harvest or buy Mystical Silver Ores, Holy Spirit Stones and Crimson Pearl Flowers.”
“Mystical Silver Ores, Holy Spirit Stones and Crimson Pearl Flower?” Bai Xiaosheng093 opened his eyes wide. “Those are all rare items, what do you want to know that for?”
“Do information vendors like you ask people what they buy information from you for?” Fatty asked slowly.
“Sorry, I misspoke,” Bai Xiaosheng093 apologized immediately as befitting for a professional businessman.
“Then stop wasting my time. Do you have info on them? Name your price,” said Fatty.
“I don’t have the exact location of where Mystical Silver Ores can be found, but a few should be produced near the Bat Cave every so often. You can try to buy some there. As for the Holy Spirit Stones. You will have to go to the Imperial City. There is an Ancient Battlefield there filled with items left behind from that war. You can occasionally find some Holy Spirit Stones up there. Finally, Crimson Pearl Flowers are the easiest to find. They can be found near Azure Dragon City and you would be able to buy some as long as you are willing to pay,” Bai Xiangsheng093 replied after a quick flip through his memo book.
“You’ve been to the Imperial City? I thought players can only teleport over after they reach Level 30?” Fatty exclaimed.
“How is that possible?” Bai Xiaosheng093 laughed wryly. “Sure, the game made it so that the portals between the four main cities and the Imperial City would only be activated when a player reaches Level 30, but you don’t have to use them to get there. If you don’t want to go through the portals, you can run over.”
“How much time is that going to take!?” Fatty took a deep breath.
“From the opening of the servers till now,” Bai Xiaosheng093 had a look of admiration on his face. “He began running in the direction of the Imperial City from the very start. He never stopped and overcame all obstacles in his path. He died countless times and he would have to start over every single time. And when he reached the Imperial City, he finally reached Level 25.”
“That person is someone from your guild as well?” Fatty admired such determination as well. It really was rare amongst people these days.
“Of course. He is Bai Xiaosheng, our guild master!” Bai Xiaosheng093 said proudly
“Amazing! No wonder the All-Seeing Sect managed to become the greatest business guild in game,” Fatty praised. “Did Sect Master Bai Xiaosheng find some Holy Spirit Stones?”
“Indeed,” Bai Xiaosheng093 nodded. “Our guild master was fortunate enough to pass by the Ancient Battlefield during his journey. He managed to pick up one by chance. Brother Grubber, if you would like to get a Holy Spirit Stone, then you should go and try your luck in the Ancient Battlefield. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the auction feature gets unlocked at Level 30 to try your luck.”
Ancient Battlefield? Fatty thought about it for a moment with a nod. Purple Bell is still the number one on the leaderboards and she is already Level 29, just a step away from Level 30. Once she reached Level 30, the system will probably get upgraded with all the new features, including the portal to the Imperial City.
“Alright, thanks. How much does all that information cost?” As Fatty thought to himself, he noticed that Bai Xiaosheng093 never mentioned the price.
“This information isn’t worth much, it’s free,” Bai Xiaosheng093 chuckled.
Free? Free stuff is always the most expensive. I don’t remember who said that, but I’m sure that’s true. Fatty immediately laughed when he heard Bai Xiaosheng093’s reply.
“What is it? Just say it directly.”
“Brother Grubber is truly a straightforward person,” Bai Xiaosheng raised his thumb with a praise. “It’s nothing much. Our sect master wishes to ask Brother Grubber for a favor after you reach Level 30, the price is a 50% discount on all the information you need in the future.”
