117 Aqua Rose (2/2)

If there was still money that could be earned from the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design, then he would immediately create another batch. He would earn as much money from it as possible, alleviating the emptiness of his wallet in the process.

Shi Feng was originally considered a very wealthy person within the region of White River City. However, after making a trip to Blackwing City, he had suddenly discovered that he was actually just a poor bastard.

Just as Shi Feng was about to leave Blackwing City, a hurried shout came from behind.

“Brother Black Flame, please hold on!”

Shi Feng turned his head around, discovering Lonely Goose and the other players from before. Amongst the bunch, there was also Egoistic Blade, the person who had eagerly tried to chase him away.

“What?” Shi Feng indifferently asked.

Although Shi Feng could understand the reason behind Lonely Goose’s exclusion of him just now, understanding only remained as understanding.

After all, who would have any pleasant feelings with being chased away just after being invited?

Hearing Shi Feng’s indifferent tone, Lonely Goose helplessly smiled, saying, “Brother Black Flame, I apologize for the incident just now. It was all a misunderstanding. I wonder if we can still have a chat?”

“Brother Lonely Goose, I’ve already said before, people who walk different paths cannot make plans together.”

How would Shi Feng not know what the thoughts Lonely Goose and the others were? Before, these players were able to discard him because of profit. Now that they had found out he could enter the Auction House, they all came running back.

Regarding the behavior of Lonely Goose and the others, he felt only disgust for it. Forget cooperation, who knows when they would sell him out for profit once more?

Seeing that Shi Feng had turned around to leave, Egoistic Blade furiously shouted, “Don’t simply throw away this chance we’ve given you. The influence that first-rate Guilds like us possess far exceeds what you can imagine. By aiding us, you will be able to receive a generous return of at least 5 Gold Coins; that’s enough for you to become the richest person in a Town. Others won’t ever get a chance like this, so you best think it through clearly. After some more time passes, your title will be of little value. This is definitely your one chance to make a lot of money.”

To any independent player, being able to become the richest person in a Town was definitely just a pipe-dream. Achieving such a feat meant that a player had to have more than three to four Gold Coins in their pockets. To a Town that was still using Copper Coins as the main medium of trade, this was definitely an astronomical sum.

“Richest in Town?” Shi Feng could not help but laugh, saying, “This is truly an attractive remuneration. Unfortunately, I’m not interested in it.”

What a joke. Before he had come to Blackwing City, he was already the richest person in the _City._ He did not lack in that amount of money at all.

“May I know if you are Mister Black Flame?”

At this time, a beautiful female player walked over, asking. The girl looked to be between the ages of 21 and 22, her appearance extremely beautiful, and her body garbed in a gorgeous purple robe. The girl had her lips pursed; her eyes squinted into a smile as she looked at Shi Feng. On her delicate white cheeks, a tinge of blush could be seen as she smiled at Shi Feng, further increasing her charms.

“That’s right, and you are?” Shi Feng was not familiar with this girl before him. However, seeing that she was a Level 7 Cursemancer[2] and she wore a complete Mysterious-Iron Set Equipment, it would seem that her strength was definitely out of the ordinary.

“Hello, you can call me Aqua Rose. We previously met inside the auction venue, but you might have missed me there,” the elegant girl named Aqua Rose said with a smile.

Hearing the girl’s self-introduction, Shi Feng was greatly shocked.

One of the top ten ranking Cursemancers in God’s Domain, the Tier 6 Curse God[3], Aqua Rose. Shi Feng was actually able to meet her at this place.

In Shi Feng’s previous life, Aqua Rose’s fame was much greater than the Cleric God, Violet Cloud.

“En, were you at the auction just now?” Shi Feng was startled. It should be known that, in order to enter the VIP Section’s auction venue, one required a certain amount of status. Shi Feng was only fortunate to have obtained the Demon Hunter title after doing the first phase of an Epic Quest.

“I naturally can’t compare to Mister Black Flame. I was only in there to take a look, unlike you, Mister Black Flame, spending 55 Gold just to buy a single skill book,” Aqua Rose sighed, saying, “Hence, I am representing Twilight Echo to seek cooperation with you. I wonder if Mister Black Flame would be interested in this?”

Twilight Echo was a grandly reputed Guild in the virtual gaming world, a titanic existence. Meanwhile, Aqua Rose was one of the more famous elders of Twilight Echo, and her position was extremely high within the Guild. Her fame was no less than that of Gentle Snow, and she was an existence of which very few had not heard.

Hearing the conversation between Aqua Rose and Shi Feng, Egoistic Blade and the others were extremely shaken, their tongues tied up as they dumbly stared.

Originally, they had thought of Shi Feng as a mere independent player. So, how much money would a player like that possess? If they were to give him 5 Gold Coins, he would definitely be deeply grateful to them. Yet, from Aqua Rose’s words, Shi Feng had actually spent 55 Gold just to buy a single skill book.

Even if they added up all the money they possessed, such an amount was still more than double theirs…

_Just who was this Shi Feng actually?_

[1]Magician: I’m not really sure about this class, but since it wasn’t mentioned in one of the 12 main classes, I’m assuming that it is some hidden class or one that was limited to NPCs only.
