The sun rose and set. In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
I stayed in Broken Blade Valley for an entire day. During dinner, Ling Xue asked me what I got. I told her that Xiaoqing had reached Level 175 and gotten a lot of skill books.
After dinner, I went online.
Swhoosh!
I appeared in Broken Blade Valley and summoned Ling Er and Xiaoqing. T-rex let out a roar and appeared in the air. Xiaoqing, who was already Level 175, was much bigger than Solitary Grave's Wind Dragon. It wasn't hard to imagine that Xiaoqing would grow into an adult T-rex once it passed Level 200.
"Ling Er, take Xiaoqing to grind …"
I said casually, but I didn't think that Ling Er would actually agree. I don't know what she said to Xiaoqing, but T-rex actually followed her. Not far away, Ling Er killed a Frost Lizard and shared the experience with T-rex. T-rex wasn't a humanoid Holy Domain pet, so it didn't need as much experience to level as Ling Er. After the two pets shared the experience, it was clear that Xiaoqing's leveling speed was much faster.
I was a little confused. Could it be that even if I left, Ling'er would continue to help Little Green level up?
So I shouted, "Ling Er, you guys grind here. I'm going back to the city. Remember to bring back any skill books that drop …"
Ling Er answered, "Yes, big bro!"
Overjoyed, I took out a return scroll and crushed it!
In the blink of an eye, I returned to White Cloud City and opened the world map. As expected, Ling Er and Xiaoqing were still in Broken Blade Valley. It seemed that my guess was correct. Ling Er could still grind without me because she had unlocked her seal. It was just that I didn't get any experience. In reality, that little bit of experience was negligible to me.
I opened my bag and found 19 skill books neatly arranged. Honestly, with my grinding speed and super high drop rate, it was a good choice to earn money by farming skill books.
6 Aurora Sword, high-level Melee skill book
3 Multi Arrow, high-level Archer skill book
2 Hellfire, high-level Mage skill book
4 Dagger Slash, high-level Assassin skill book
2 Raging Spark, high-level Priest skill book
2 Flurry Blade, high-level Swordsman skill book
… …
All of the equipment that had been put up for sale in the Auction House had already been sold. The Evil Dragon's Lair was clearly destined to be rich. Including the Tempered Battle Axe and the Flame Dragon Equipment Sets, they had sold for a total of 10.4 million Gold Coins. Just the Tempered Battle Axe alone had sold for more than 7 million Gold Coins.
I didn't gather the girls and directly transferred 1.5 million to each of them online. I also sent them a message to notify them.
The girls were very happy, especially Snow Sight Grass. She happily told me, "Mommy won't say that I'm an ignorant gamer anymore. This money is enough for many people to earn for the rest of their lives!"
I smiled and nodded. In this day and age, the courageous were full and the timid starved to death.
I set up a small stall at the golden section of the eastern plaza and put all the skill books up for sale. The AoE skill books for warriors and mages were sold for twenty thousand each, and the archer and priest skills were sold for ten thousand each. Currently, there was no market for these things. Many players outside of Broken Blade Valley formed parties to grind these skill books for the sake of money.
Some time ago, Thousand Autumns Achievement had sent several thousand-man parties to Broken Blade Valley to grind and killed a lot of players. Now that Thousand Autumns Achievement was gone, and Soul Battle Robes was far away in the southwest corner of Broken Blade Valley and didn't have time to care about this place. Snow Moon, Vanilla and Ice, Autumn Rain, and other guilds encouraged free leveling and didn't reserve the entire place. As a result, Broken Blade Valley became idle. This was why I chose it as a leveling spot.
Although my stall only had a few books, which was much more shabby than the stalls around me, I became the center of attention in just a few minutes. A small warrior exclaimed in surprise, "Damn!
This guy has so many high-level skill books! He has 6 Aurora Sword alone … "
His exclamation attracted countless gazes. The word "Aurora Sword" was like the word "girl" to melee melee fighters. It was enough to stimulate the secretion of hormones!
White Cloud City had tens of millions of players, and at least 40% of them were melee fighters. Countless people dreamed of becoming a peerless expert, and having an AoE skill was undoubtedly the most important factor in becoming a peerless expert.
I tried to learn Aurora Sword, but I couldn't learn it. The system notified me that this skill conflicted with Divine Dragon Slash, but I couldn't give up on Divine Dragon Slash. It was the enhanced version of Soaring Flames Dragon, and it dealt magic damage. In PvP against melee fighters, Divine Dragon Slash was definitely much better than Aurora Sword.
Not long after, a group of people surrounded my stall. Their faces were red with anger as they argued, "Brother, give me a copy of Aurora Sword. Thank you, thank you!"
Before I could finish, another person shouted, "I came first, I want to buy it first!"
Another person shouted, "I'll double the price, sell me one first!"
Seeing this situation, my heart moved. A business opportunity had come, so I decisively took all the books off the shelves and only put them on the stall. Then, I raised an Aurora Sword book and said, "High-level melee skill book, Aurora Sword!
The starting price is 20,000 RMB, the highest bidder wins! "
Hmph hmph, isn't it just raising the price?
As a professional player, if you don't have a bit of money, you won't be able to survive.
For a time, a storm was brewing —
"I bid 22,000, it's mine!" A little warrior squeezed to the front with a red face.
Another bearded berserker with a battle axe shouted in a rough voice, "I bid 25,000. Little brother selling books, give me some face and sell it to me?"
"27,000!" Another warrior wearing S3 roared. He seemed to be a member of Autumn Rain Time.
"29,000!"
"35,000!"
"40,000!"
"42,000!"
"..."
In the end, a group of crazy people actually raised the price of one Aurora Sword skill book to 55000 RMB. Naturally, I was overjoyed. I quickly sold five skill books for more than 50k RMB, earning 300k RMB in one fell swoop. Relying on my high Luck and high drop rate, getting rich was just that easy!
I raised an Aurora Sword book and shouted, "This is the last Aurora Sword book. Who else wants it?
The highest bidder wins, only two minutes left! "
The melee players were still in high spirits. Some people raised the price, but most people shook their heads and sighed at the unfairness of the world. After all, tens of thousands of RMB was not a small number. Some small bosses or rich second generations could raise the price arrogantly, but most students and office workers could only look and sigh.
This was simply a tragedy. Many of the students in the same dormitory had been in Broken Blade Valley for weeks or even months without being able to find a single Aurora Sword Skill Book. It was all because of their pitiful 0 points of Luck.
Luck was just too hard to come by. It was either the WSL champion, the MVP of a Nation War, or a large-scale main quest. Only those who met these conditions could obtain Luck. In reality, in the entire China server, there weren't many people who had Luck. This was why even though tens of thousands of players were grinding Broken Blade Valley every day, the number of Aurora Swords they could get in a month was less than what I could get in a day. Aurora Sword was destined to be a king-tier skill that only top players could obtain.
But at this time, a female warrior squeezed into the crowd and said, "I want this book. 100k RMB, is that enough?"
I looked and was shocked. "Xiao Wu?"
Yes, the person who came was Zheng Xuanwu — Hong Lingwu. Because we confirmed that we were friends, I had to change the way I addressed her. Otherwise, it would be rude to continue to call her Zheng Xuanwu.
Hong Lingwu nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have an AoE skill yet. Can you sell this book to me?"
I thought of Wang Junjie's promise to Hong Lingwu. Although this person was jealous and narrow-minded, he was good to Hong Lingwu, at least in the beginning. Even if he was suspected of using Hong Lingwu, he at least gave Hong Lingwu a taste of first love.
People were like this. Sometimes, even if you knew that your first lover was a terrible thing, you could not forget him for the rest of your life.
I thought for a moment and passed the Aurora Sword to Hong Lingwu. She also transferred 100k RMB to me. Clearly, Hong Lingwu had returned to the Zheng Family in Hangzhou and had more money to spend. This 100k RMB was like a drop in the ocean to her, just like how Xia Xia didn't hesitate to buy a RMB worth of ice cream.
I asked, "How's the problem?"
Hong Lingwu said, "I'm living with my father now, and I won't run around anymore, hehe..."
I nodded and smiled. "Go, train the Aurora Sword to Ghost God rank as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'm leaving!"
Hong Lingwu turned around and left. Facing the group of players who didn't buy the skill book, I hurriedly apologized, "Everyone, I'm sorry, but the supply is tight, and it's all sold out!
There are also a few skill books left: Sea of Hellfire for mages, Multi Arrow for archers, Blade Dance for swordsmen, Dagger Slash for assassins, and Rage Eruption for priests. You can buy them yourself or give them to your girlfriend. The highest bidder gets them!
Also, a friendly reminder, Blade Dance and Aurora Sword are both melee AoE skills, so they can't be learned at the same time. Those who have Aurora Sword don't need to buy Blade Dance. "
Everyone gave him a thumbs up. This was a businessman with a conscience.
The goods were still selling like hotcakes. The 13 skill books were sold in less than half an hour, and I made a total of 500k RMB. Including the money from Aurora Sword, I made a profit of 1 million RMB. It was a round number, a good sign!
I closed my stall and hid in the crowd. I happily looked at my account's income for the day. If it wasn't for the sake of conquering the world, I would've stayed in the forest and played Aurora Swords every day to sell them. My account had 44 Luck, which was practically the greatest wealth in the world. If I could sell my account, I could sell it for tens of millions of Luck, even if I sold all my equipment and levels. This kind of wealth was something that could only be found by chance and not sought after.
I didn't walk far when I suddenly received a message —
Hong Lingwu: "Scholar, can you help me?"
My heart tightened. Hong Lingwu asked for help. What could it be?
Thus, I replied: "What help? Tell me first."
Hong Lingwu sent another message: "A friend of mine accepted the main quest, but his tank isn't strong enough, so I want to ask for your help."
"Oh, your friend?"
"Well, yes. Are you free?
I will... pay you, hehe... "
"Aiya, you're too polite. There's no such thing as payment between friends. I'll help... Uh, how much can you pay?"
Hong Lingwu was probably speechless. After half a minute, she sent a message: "The quest difficulty is 15,000 RMB, and the limit is 7 people. Including you and me, there are 4 warriors, 1 archer, 1 mage, and 1 priest.
If we charge according to the difficulty, you will be the main tank. After the quest is completed, I will pay you 5 million RMB. Even if the quest fails, I will still pay you the full amount. "
My eyes widened. As expected of the daughter of the Hangzhou Zheng Family, she was much more generous than Bing Cha. A few days ago, I went to eat cold drinks, and Bing Cha tried to scam me for a cold drink that was only a few RMB.
Of course, I was also on guard. Could this be Hong Lingwu's plan?
If I went over, would she invite a bunch of experts to use some unorthodox skill like the Dragon Imprisonment Formation to kill me and make me drop all my equipment?
When I thought about it, it wasn't very likely. The current Hong Lingwu had no reason to be my enemy. Plus, what kind of expert could stop me?
Hmph hmph, not only did I have invincible equipment, I also had an IMBA skill like the Radiant Sacred Armor. Even if the five top experts of the world, Seven-star Lamp, The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, Shadow Follower, A Dust, and Brave Heart teamed up against me, I was confident that I could escape unscathed!
Therefore, I agreed and said: "Okay, no problem. When do we start the quest?"
Hong Lingwu replied: "Tonight!
Let's meet at the east gate of White Cloud City at 8 pm sharp. I'll form a party, okay? "
"Yes, it's settled. I'll be there on time."
"I'll be waiting for you, hehe!"
I turned off the communicator and looked at the time. It was already 6 pm. At this time, Qin Yun sent a message: "If there's nothing important, go offline and eat. If you're sure, reply 1. If you're not sure, reply 2."
I couldn't help but smile and reply 1. Then, I summoned Ling'Er and Xiaoqing back.
… …
When I went offline and walked out of the room, I was greeted by the smell of delicious food. The hall of the workshop was already filled with delicious dishes.
There were many pleasures in life, but for me, my greatest interests were three: beautiful women, delicious food, and games. I couldn't do without any of them!
Being in a workshop filled with beautiful women was one of life's greatest pleasures. Seeing that the scorching summer was about to pass, the girls in the workshop seized the time to enjoy their last moments of comfort. All of them were dressed in extremely light clothes, playing around in pink and white. It was as if they had already forgotten about me.
Sitting on the chair next to the table, I looked back and saw Xia Xia Xia reading a magazine with her legs crossed. I said: "Cough cough, Little Tian!
Be more reserved, you're exposing yourself … "
Xia Xia glanced at her short skirt and said: "It's fine." Then, she almost started reading.
I glared at her. "It's fine?
What does that mean? "
"It means it's fine …" Xia Xia was still going her own way.
Bing Cha walked over with a cup of water and said with a smile, "She means that you can continue to peek, and you don't have to take any responsibility …"
I snorted and said righteously, "Only puppies can look."
"Fuck, then why are you still staring …" Iced Tea sat next to me and looked at me with disdain. Then, she said, "Forget it. Where have you been today? Why haven't I seen you? Is there any activity in our studio tonight?"
I shook my head. "You guys do your own activities, I have something to do."
"Oh, what is it?" Ling Yue held a pair of chopsticks and asked in surprise.
I took a deep breath and said, "I promised Hong Ling Wu that I would help her friend complete a main quest for a fee."
"Hong Lingwu?
Friend?
Main quest? "Ling Yue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
