With the decline of the human race, the three main cities did not have anything as high-end as an auction house. However, in the north of the City of Shadows, there was a large safe area for players to set up stalls. Players only needed to spend one silver coin to set up a stall for an hour.
There were many people in the trading area and it was very lively. However, equipment was rare in the game and there were far more buyers than sellers.
In addition to normal players buying and selling equipment, there were also many equipment merchants in the trading area.
A popular game would never lack merchants, not to mention a game like Genesis.
Now that the game had just started its beta testing, the prices of equipment and game coins were not very stable. However, as long as one could seize the opportunity, this was the best time to make money. If one was lucky, one could resell an equipment and earn several times the price.
There were many merchants in the trading area and Lian Hongyu was one of them. Among a group of male merchants, her appearance could only be considered average in the game but she still stood out.
"Sister Phoenix, these are the black iron arrows you wanted. The price is the same as what we agreed on, 20 copper coins each."
After the golden phoenix was expelled from the trial dungeon, she and Little Yao teleported to the City of Shadows. Lian Hongyu's eyes were sharp. When she saw the two appear in the trading area, she knew that they might be big customers. She went up to the golden phoenix and talked to her. She discovered that she wanted to buy black iron arrows.
Black iron arrows were luxurious equipment at the current stage of the game. They could only be made by blacksmiths who had leveled up their forging skill to beginner level using black iron ores excavated from the wild mines west of the City of Shadows.
There were only a few people who had leveled up their forging skill to beginner level. Black iron ores could only be mined with beginner level mining skill. The production was limited. Although one piece of black iron ores could be made into many black iron arrows, the production was still very low.
This item was also a consumable item. Every time one was used, there would be one less. Most people could not afford to use it.
From the first day Lian Hongyu entered the game and decided to become a merchant in the game, she had decided that even if she could earn less, she would still build up a good network.
In the past half a month, she earned less than other merchants but she already had a stable supply of goods and customers.
Among the friends she added, one of them was a beginner blacksmith. The golden phoenix could not buy any goods at the moment. After hearing Lian Hongyu's words, she asked her for help.
"Not bad. I'll look for you when I need something in the future. Please give me a discount on the price."
The golden phoenix and Little Yao walked around the trading area for a short while before Lian Hongyu brought the black iron arrows over.
She was very satisfied with the speed and Lian Hongyu's business attitude.
"Of course. Sister Phoenix, if you have any requests, I'll definitely give you a discount!"
Lian Hongyu said happily. It wasn't easy to find a customer who would buy 500 Black Iron Arrows at once. Even if she gave a discount, she still made a lot of money.
At this moment, Lian Hongyu's eyes moved. She saw a male player walk into the Trading Area.
After staying in the trading area for more than ten days, Lian Hongyu was one of the people who had seen the most equipment in the entire game. However, she was surprised to find that there were a few pieces of equipment that she had never seen before.
A few of her peers had already walked over to that person to answer him. Lian Hongyu wanted to go over too but the golden phoenix was still inquiring about other equipment. She suppressed her impulse and greeted the golden phoenix first. However, she saw that person waving his hand and sending her peers away. Lian Hongyu knew that this player was probably just here to take a look and did not have any real needs so she did not pay too much attention to it.
There were many players like this. She could see many of them in the trading area every day. Most of the players were curious about what kind of equipment there was in the game and coming to the trading area could satisfy their curiosity.
"This person is actually here to sell equipment!"
Lian Hongyu saw her peers looking at a stall in surprise. The male player had asked an NPC for a stall and set up a small stall. The moment the stall appeared, a large group of players rushed over and pointed at it.
This kind of situation was not common. Usually, the stall would have a lot of good stuff to see!
"Sister Phoenix, someone seems to have put up some good stuff over there. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Even her peers rushed over. Lian Hongyu knew that the stall might not be simple so she invited the golden phoenix to go with her.
"Okay."
The golden phoenix also liked to join in the fun. She was also curious about what the stall had that could make so many people so excited.
"There are so many pieces of equipment. They are all blue and green equipment!"
Lian Hongyu was shocked when she walked over to take a look.
Currently, most of the equipment was white equipment, taking up 60% of the market. Blue equipment took up 30% of the market and the remaining 10% were green equipment. However, this person had all blue and green equipment. There was not a single piece of white equipment. It was too strange.
Could this person be a merchant like her?
No!
Lian Hongyu thought that she still had some ability to judge people. This male player was definitely not a merchant. Looking at the prices he set, some of the equipment were obviously a little too low and had been quickly bought by some players. If it was a merchant who had bought so many pieces of equipment, he would not have made such a mistake.
More than a hundred pieces of blue and green equipment were not something that just anyone could eat. Moreover, there were many valuable jewelry and weapons among them.
The golden phoenix was also very surprised. However, she was not surprised to see more than a hundred pieces of blue and green equipment. She was surprised because the person who set up the equipment was actually one of the participants in the Hell Mode Talent Trial!
"Brother, this staff, I want it!"
"I want that green bracelet!"
Chen Mo's prices were not high. However, he seemed to have underestimated the scarcity of equipment in the game. Although he had tried to set the prices higher than the price he had in mind, the sales of the equipment were still beyond his expectations.
Not long after, more than a hundred pieces of equipment had been sold. The remaining ten or so pieces were basically blue equipment with poor attributes.
Not all of the equipment were sold. However, Chen Mo still received 142 gold coins. It was a lot more than he had expected. It was enough to complete the quest.
Chen Mo chose to end the stall. The surrounding players also dispersed. For most players, they would not care about the seller.
"Hello, do you remember me?" The golden phoenix walked up and showed her character's name.
"Golden Phoenix?" Chen Mo was surprised. He did not expect to see the golden phoenix again after only a few hours.
Although he had not directly met her, the golden phoenix's performance in the dungeon was quite eye-catching.
"It's me. It seems that you are a hidden expert. Let's be friends. In the future, we can help each other out. How about it?" The golden phoenix had a straightforward personality.
"Of course, no problem."
Chen Mo readily agreed. He added the golden phoenix as a friend. He liked to deal with straightforward people.
"Sister Phoenix, you know each other." Lian Hongyu's eyes lit up. This was definitely another big customer!
"We only know each other now.
Yes, Brother Silence. She is also an equipment merchant that I just met today. I feel that she is a good person. "The golden phoenix knew Lian Hongyu's thoughts. She introduced him.
"Brother Silence, please take care of me!" Lian Hongyu was familiar with people. She immediately called him brother.
"Equipment merchant?
Do you want to buy this equipment? "
Chen Mo nodded. Knowing an equipment merchant was not a bad idea. There was no auction house in the game. When he wanted to find some things, it would be very inconvenient.
Chen Mo wanted to sell the remaining ten or so pieces of blue equipment to Lian Hongyu at a low price.
They were all level 10 equipment. After a while, the price would drop. It would be better to sell them at a low price now.
"Yes, but as a merchant, the price will definitely be lower than normal. Please understand, Brother Silence. However, I can guarantee that the price I give will definitely be the best!" Lian Hongyu quickly nodded.
Chen Mo took out the ten or so pieces of blue equipment. In the end, Lian Hongyu decided to spend 3 gold coins to buy them all. Chen Mo felt that it was about the same price, so he quickly closed the deal.
After adding Lian Hongyu as a friend, Chen Mo left the Trading Point. He left the City of Shadows and walked in the direction of Serena.
…
Under a huge tree root near Serena's wooden house, a team stared at the players who walked towards Serena from time to time.
"Boss, the person that Brother Qi was talking about is really here!"
Another person appeared. It was an Archer player in the team. He immediately called out.
