Chapter 16: Currency Soaring, Stockpiling Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was only around 10 p.m. that the student gathering slowly came to an end. Li Yi had also returned home. There was still some time before he went online, so he started to browse information about Divine Revelation on the Internet.

As he entered the forum that was specially set up for players, he saw a large number of posts that refreshed crazily every second.

[136 Novice Village. Misty Rain Pavilion’s Guild Leader has led a party to defeat a black-iron boss. A large number of guild members have been recruited. Please leave a message.]

[17877 Novice Village has discovered a gray-silver boss. When they gathered the strength of the majority of the people in the village, they only managed to reduce the boss’s HP by 10%. Its strength is too terrifying. Click to view the video.]

[Gold Farming Workshop is selling a large number of game coins. The current ratio is 85 USD per silver coin. No bargaining!!]

[Selling normal-quality equipment. Game coins will be rejected, cash purchase...]

Looking at the large amount of information on it, it was estimated that the game coins were already linked to the real world. Now that most of the people had reached level 5, they had to learn skills.

Moreover, when players reach a higher level, they would need to fight higher-tiered monsters. If necessary, they would need to purchase Health Potions and Mana Potions. Now, it could be said that everyone was short of silver coins, so their currency would definitely soar. Moreover, some of the guilds in the Novice Villages also wanted to snatch the first kill of a gray-silver boss and the first kill reward of a gray-silver boss.

Divine Revelation had long since announced the reward. Among all the Novice Villages, only the first player to kill a gray-silver boss would receive an additional first kill reward. The other villages would no longer get such a reward. One could be certain that they would definitely benefit greatly from this.

Hence, the current guilds were buying gold coins, equipment, and other items generously. They did not care about the price at all. They would not show any mercy when competing with each other. Everyone wanted to seize the opportunity.

‘We must be one step ahead.’ Everyone had the same thoughts.

...

Right as Li Yi browsed the forum, he suddenly saw a post that he was quite interesting.

[Selling Quartz Flowers in large quantities at a low price, absolutely cheap. People are online, waiting for buyers to arrive at any time!!! Super!! Low!! Prices!!]

“Quartz Flowers?”

This item was one of the main materials in his Defense Potion recipe. Moreover, there was only one place in the Novice Village where it was produced. Currently, no one had discovered its use, so no one wanted to collect it.

Once the level 10 dungeon opened, the need for this item will grow rapidly. The territory that produced this Quartz Flower would also be occupied by large guilds.

The Defense Potion was practically a must-have item for razing this dungeon when everyone’s defense was very low. Without this item, one would not even be able to withstand the damage of a dungeon boss, much less kill it.

Li Yi immediately clicked on this post. There were also some players who had asked what was the use of this.

A few people even said disdainfully, “This thing is useless. It’s better to kill a few monsters than to collect this. You’re really too free.”

Li Yi directly ignored this. Now that these people were so indifferent, after a period of time, they would no longer be able to reach a higher position if they did not bother finding out the use of this item. He found the person who posted the post and directly sent a message to him, [I see that you are selling Quartz Flowers for 1 copper coin per flower. Are you still selling?]

[It’s too low. I also spent a lot of effort collecting the Quartz Flowers.] The other party immediately replied.

Li Yi was completely unmoved by this and directly replied, [My friend, listen, even I know where this place is. There are no wild monsters there. There are only Quartz Flowers growing there.]

Li Yi’s reply also directly broke that person’s idea of trying to trick him. He hesitated for a moment and texted, [Then tell me what is the use of this Quartz Flower. I will sell it to you!!]

The other party also wanted to get the use of the Quartz Flower. If Li Yi told him, this player would definitely raise the price.

[I don’t know about this. I just think it will be useful in the future. I happen to have some spare money. I will buy it and put it in the warehouse. I say, are you going to sell it or not? If not, I will go buy other people’s equipment!!] Li Yi hastily replied.

This kind of indifferent tone was what business was all about. If you showed too much interest in the product, you would definitely be outplayed by others.

In any case, the blueprint for the Defense Potion was in his hands. There was no possibility of a second blueprint dropping in a short time. Even if he could not buy this person’s materials, it did not matter. He would definitely not lose anything.

Seeing that Li Yi was not going to buy it, this person was also a little nervous.

[Let’s add a little more. 5 copper coins per piece, is that alright? Let’s earn some hard money, boss!! In order to collect this Quartz Flower, I did not even go to level up. Now, I can’t even afford normal equipment. I just passed by the Novice Village and was stopped by the scum of the Proud Guild players. They robbed me of 5 silver coins, this could send me back to the Novice Village!] the merchant desperately wrote out. It was indeed a long message!

Li Yi did not believe his words at all. The Level 1 members of the Proud Guild could not be bothered with him.

[How many do you have!] Li Yi directly ignored his emotional ploy and asked.

[I only collected 2,023 stalks. All of them are here. I have already collected all of them. It will probably take a few days for them to respawn,] replied the other party.

[2 copper coins! I’ll take all of them!] Li Yi typed his final offer.

[Don’t! Boss, 4 copper coins would be really low enough. It’ll take a long time to collect one,] the other party quickly replied.

Li Yi saw this person’s plea and immediately stopped replying. He went to browse other posts and needed to keep him on the hook. Otherwise, if one of the methods was not good, he would definitely raise the price. After all, game coins were still useful.

The people inside Divine Revelation were quite cunning. They could judge whether you really needed this item or not based on your tone of voice and a series of other factors. It was common for people to raise the price from the ground up.

This person was also very interesting. At first, he did not know about the situation, but after that, he started to play the emotional card to sell the goods. He was definitely a veteran merchant.

If it were any other players, Li Yi would have definitely bought it from them instead. After all, he did not lack this bit of money, but he definitely had to squeeze the merchant dry. If not, he would not be utilizing the experience of him being cheated by the merchant in his previous life.

[Really, it’s 3 copper coins!!! Boss, it’s really only 3 copper coins. Isn’t it very cheap for you?] The merchant sent another message.

...

After a while, it was already 12 p.m.

[Alright, Alright. I didn’t find any good equipment. At most, it’s 3 copper coins and not a single cent more. You can hang it in the shop now. I’ll go and get it!!] Li Yi slowly replied.

[Thank you, boss!! I’ll immediately put it up. I won’t trouble you to pay the additional 5% handling fee, boss!!] the merchant happily replied.

After all, he had also bought the Quartz Flowers for 3 copper coins. In the end, he realized that it was completely useless and directly smashed it into his hand. He realized he had lost so much that his heart bled.

Now that someone wanted to buy it, he did not lose anything. At most, it was only the 5% handling fee. This did not matter at all!!

Li Yi then went online. He glanced at the shop. There were no other materials for the Defense Potion. So, he spent more than 60 silver coins to buy all 2,023 stalks of Quartz Flowers.

Would this merchant regret his current actions a few days later?
