161 Getting Down from the Ranking Board (1/2)

There were plenty of people who sold martial art manuals on the market, but few of them sold high-tier martial art manuals. They were, in fact, as rare as a thousand-year-old ginseng.

When a high-tier martial art appeared in the world, it was bound to attract countless skilled players.

It was the case for the stall Happy had noticed too. The stall owner had put up three high-tier martial art manuals in one go, so it was only natural that he became the center of attention!

However, the high price of two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver still shot over the purchase limit for many people.

Not everyone could have tens of thousands of taels of silver crumbs in their account; it was difficult enough for it to be five digits. Only a few people lived such a good life that they had one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs in their savings account. Only guilds that were rather powerful could gather up the money from their members or use other methods to come in possession of a large number of silver crumbs.

However, based on the fluctuating exchange rate, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver crumbs were equivalent to around ten thousand three hundred RMB. Even guilds of average standard would not be able to get that sort of money without blinking an eye.

But if the sellers increased the price as they pleased, it was up to the buyers to cut the price down!

This was a law that existed since ancient times.

Many people had surrounded the stall and began to engage in a violent verbal war. Their arguments were all centered around the weaknesses of the high-tier martial arts!

Some of them said that staff techniques were not easy to learn, some said that axe techniques were not in great demand, and some even claimed that the damage of Stormy Shadowless Kick was quite low, that at Grandmaster Realm it was only as powerful as a normal high-tier saber technique at the third realm. It simply did not fit into the category of a high-tier martial art. They would still be able to accept it, however, if the price was lowered to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Happy felt his heart race when he listened to it from outside the group and had to suppress his amusement.

Was there a need for them to go so over-the-top with it?

Shadowless Kick and Stormy Shadowless Kick were very popular martial arts during the later stages of the game in his previous life. They were especially good for level-grinding and fighting against monsters because of their incredible speed! When used in battle, it did not lose either. It could suppress many of the slow and moderate speed high-tier martial arts!

Regardless of whether it was the high-tier martial art or low-tier martial art, each of the manuals was a priceless item. During the later stages of the game, there were people who sold Shadowless Kick for fifty thousand taels of silver, and Stormy Shadowless Kick was valued so highly that it cost 100,000 RMB per book.

Such a supreme high-tier martial art manual had actually been belittled to the point that there were people who actually said that they would only buy it for one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. Happy felt that if he were the seller… he would not sell it.

While thinking that, he did not say anything.

Fortunately, the seller was a person with a rather good temper. He used a green foxtail to pick his ears. Judging by the expression on his face, he seemed to have heard the belittling words of the players around him, and they had registered in his mind.

”The market price is only two hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. Brother, isn't your price a little too extreme? Why don't I buy one of your manuals for two hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs?”

As time passed, more people came to watch. The seller still remained unmoved, and it made the group of people who had been asking for him to lower the price to finally put on slightly uneasy expressions.

They clearly belonged to the group of people who did not have any high-tier martial arts but lacked the courage to bear with the pain of buying one. When they saw that more people had come to fight for the manuals, they naturally began to be anxious about their gains and losses.

”How about two hundred and ten thousand taels of silver crumbs? Brother, I only have so much…”

The seller did not say anything. With a great show of holding firm to his own beliefs, he turned his head to the side, looked at the sky, and very attentively and carefully dug his ear.

After a long time, the people in the area relented, and the price naturally shot up to nearly two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver crumbs!

Just when the people were about to grit their teeth and come to an agreement with the price, a voice suddenly shot up from behind the crowd. ”Excuse me, I would like to buy all the martial art manuals here. I'll buy all of them for seven hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver crumbs.”

With a single sentence, the speaker shocked the people who were about to offer a price so much that their faces drained of all color.

The seller's languidly moving hand shuddered slightly, and he winced, as if he was in pain. He swiftly brought out the green foxtail. It seemed like he had used too much strength just then and nearly stabbed his eardrum.

Seven hundred and fifty taels of silver crumbs!

Aside from the rich people on the Rich Rank, there was no one else who could afford it.

The crowd naturally opened a path for the speaker. Happy had changed his attire on the spot, and under the countless burning gazes, he arrived in front of the stall. His blue robes caused pain to the eyes of many.

”It's him!”
