"Wait, brother, what's your name?" Someone asked.
Gu Fei walked on the street, looking for a suitable spot to set up his stall. Compared to normal players, Gu Fei's sack of goods was simply too much. A normal spot would not be able to accommodate him.
"Are you guys alright? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. "Gu Fei was unwilling.
"I spent so much time killing a person and almost got myself killed, and all I get is a measly amount of money. How inhumane!" Gu Fei complained to another player who was choosing a quest.
Now, faced with the system's exorbitant demand for his class advancement quest, Gu Fei realized how small his wallet was.
He put his sword back into his pocket and looked at his health bar. It was so red that it was in the single digits. If he were to swim against the current, he would be able to kill Gu Fei with just a few strikes of his staff, let alone using magic.
"No, of course not!" The player was decisive. "Actually, Bounty Quests are very meaningful. Don't you see that I'm doing one right now? Alright, I've accepted the quest, I'll be leaving first. " After saying that, the man immediately disappeared, leaving Gu Fei alone in the empty hall, depressed.
Gu Fei's first two mercenary deals had made him a rich man. It was because of those two deals that Gu Fei hadn't realized the problem of money until now. Otherwise, with his extravagant spending of an apple for every four spells, he would not be able to last until today if he did not focus on managing his wallet.
After leaving the Wizard Academy dejectedly, Gu Fei remembered that he still had a Bounty Quest on him, so he activated the "Windchaser Emblem" and returned to the Bounty Quest Hall.
The others shook their heads.
There was no need to do anything for the class advancement, all they needed was to pay a 200 gold fee.
Thinking of business, Gu Fei suddenly had an idea. Ever since he started farming monsters, Gu Fei had obtained quite a few items. Because these common items were sold in the Auction House, it was easy to lose money (see Chapter 100 for the reason, I won't explain it here), so if he wanted to exchange these items for money, he had to personally set up a stall to sell them. Gu Fei was currently short on money, so he had no choice but to become a merchant.
Even so, it was only a matter of time before he died if he continued to endure the slashes. At first, Counter Current's companions thought that Gu Fei would be easily dealt with by Counter Current. They didn't expect the situation to turn out this way. Swimming Against the Current was completely passive. He wanted to chant but was repeatedly interrupted by Gu Fei. Every time he sang, it was all for naught.
The man turned his head to look at Gu Fei and said: "Yeah, this mission is extremely risky, but the rewards aren't that great. The price to performance ratio is really low."
"No wonder it's so quiet. No one is doing this quest." Gu Fei looked around. The entire hall was empty except for him and the person before him.
Then, he looked at the few spectators who were drinking and singing by the side of the street. Although they were all in a daze, it was clear that they had no intention of fighting Gu Fei.
As Gu Fei reviewed the PvP process and summarized the lessons learned, he took out a piece of bread from his pocket and gnawed on it to replenish his health.
Countercurrent was the one who suggested the duel. Now that they saw that he was in a disadvantageous situation, they immediately stepped in to help him. This was no different from slapping Countercurrent's face. The few of them hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they just sighed and didn't do anything to help.
The man nodded. Then, the few of them watched Gu Fei go to the Mage Academy.
All the players in Cloud Peak City knew that when there were fewer people online, the 2nd Street was the best place to do business at night or early in the morning. Only this place was filled with life at all times.
From this sack, Gu Fei could vaguely see the days when he worked hard to farm monsters. He was filled with emotion.
Gu Fei took out the sack and put the items in the storage into it. Speaking of this sack, it had a long history. When Gu Fei was second on the efficiency leaderboard, the items he obtained every day were counted by sacks. Later, because of a misunderstanding, this sack was thrown to June Rain. Later, June Rain used it to carry food and drinks to Moonlit Night City. It wasn't until the start of the duel that June Rain returned from Moonlit Night City that she solemnly returned the sack to its original owner.
"Oh? You've seen him before? "
After walking a quarter of the street, Gu Fei finally saw a relatively large open space. He hurriedly stepped forward to occupy the space and put down the sack. With a crashing sound, Gu Fei's goods were scattered all over the open space. There were even a few bouncing goods that were pushed to the middle of the road.
In total, Gu Fei only had 37 gold coins, 21 silver coins and 78 copper coins.
Gu Fei didn't have money. To be precise, he didn't have 200 gold coins.
This street was formed after the game officially started. At that time, the people who occupied the Trade Street were all veterans of the open beta. The goods in their hands were of relatively high quality. For most of the new players, they could only lament their inadequacy because of the price. So the new players could only start to form a market that suited them according to their own needs. This was the beginning of the Second Trade Street.
"That was close!" Gu Fei exclaimed. Fortunately, he was doing a Bounty Quest, so he was wearing the "Windchaser Emblem" and not "Eddy's Emblem". Otherwise, with the additional 6 points of Intelligence from "Eddy's Emblem" and slightly higher magic attack power, Gu Fei wouldn't have the chance to rush out of the fire if his Thousand Flames of the Cinder Tree burned a few more HP.
"Wow!!!" Countless players' eyes were attracted, especially the two on Gu Fei's left and right. Their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
Normally, Gu Fei would be satisfied with this small amount of money. But now, with the huge mountain of 200 gold coins on his shoulders, Gu Fei suddenly realized how harsh the system was.
It was early in the morning, so the academy was relatively quiet. Gu Fei walked straight to the NPC teacher who usually taught magic to the Magicians. Seeing that Gu Fei was already level 40, the NPC teacher took the initiative to ask Gu Fei if he wanted to change his class. Gu Fei naturally said yes. So the teacher quickly gave him the class change quest. Gu Fei, who was invincible in the PVP arena, was instantly stunned by this quest.
"No, I heard it from someone else. I heard it was a Magician. He wore a black robe and his weapon was a sword. He seemed pretty strong. You said that he was strong, but why did he have to do this rubbish quest? "The person said as he accepted the quest and turned to look at Gu Fei. Now that he paid attention, he realized that the person in front of him was a Magician. He was wearing a black robe. He then rummaged around in his pocket for a long time and pulled out a purple longsword. He held it in front of Gu Fei's eyes and asked, "Are you talking about this sword?"
Gu Fei was fast, but his sword was even faster. One slash after another, Countercurrent's face was glowing red. Gu Fei didn't die after taking so many slashes. First, Gu Fei's luck was bad today and he didn't use many enchantments. Second, Countercurrent was PvP against a Magician, so he used a lot of equipment that could absorb magic damage.
At this time of the morning, every place in the game was quiet except for one place, and that was Second Trade Street.
Thinking about it, he went to the warehouse near the city gate and looked into his own storage box. After a long period of accumulation, he had quite a lot of things. Fortunately, he had been mainly doing Bounty Quests and had less time to farm monsters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough storage boxes.
Second Trade Street developed quickly because the new players were always full of enthusiasm. They spent a lot of time online, and their numbers were much higher than the open beta players. This caused the Second Trade Street to be full of people selling their items at any time. Even after the birth of the third and fourth streets, only Second Trade Street continued this enthusiasm.
"A Thousand Miles Drunk," Gu Fei replied.
Gu Fei had admired Second Trade Street for a long time, but this was the first time he had set foot on it. Just like the rumors said, at this time of the day when everything else was quiet, Second Trade Street didn't change at all. And because of this special time of the day, the players on Second Trade Street all had a special appearance: they all had a sleepy face.
"Then I'll be going," Gu Fei said to the others.
The quest was simple, but it fully exposed the inner world of the game company. This quest only had one word: money.
The others looked at each other. Should they help? This was a problem!
"What good luck!" Gu Fei was disappointed. He really hoped that these people had bad morals and would come to him for revenge when Countercurrent was killed.
But upon closer inspection, the sleepy faces were also different. They were mainly divided into two groups. One group had sleepy eyes, but they were full of energy. This group was the type that just woke up and went to play. The other group had sleepy faces and didn't even have the energy to speak. This group obviously hadn't slept through the night.
Quest complete, reward received. He had experience and money.
Gu Fei's sword technique was executed in one breath. He was completely immersed in it, and he was in high spirits. Finally, he turned into a streak of white light and disappeared. Gu Fei's eyes were still filled with regret. Two more strokes and he would have been able to use all three stances of the Tang Saber's Nine Consecutive Interrupting Waves. What a pity! Gu Fei shook his head.
This amount of money wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. The main problem was that Gu Fei didn't have it.
"Money! Where can I get the money! "Gu Fei was still troubled by this problem after he left the hall. And money really did affect harmony. At this moment, Gu Fei was even complaining to Young Master Han: The mercenary group didn't manage properly and only did those two deals!
Swiftly packing a bag, Gu Fei carried it on his shoulder and staggered towards the direction of the trading street. On the way, he calculated excitedly: One piece of equipment for 10 gold, two pieces for 20 gold, 20 pieces for 200 gold!
Gu Fei's items were piled up like a small hill. The other two's stalls only had a few items. Compared to them, their items were too small.
"That's not true." The person in front of him said. "Did you know? There's a person in our city who loves to do these rubbish quests. He comes every day to do them. "
