White Stone City's auction house had been restless for the past two days, and many people had heard about it. Yesterday, there was an unprecedented buying frenzy, followed by the appearance of two robbers. Following that, it was said that there were two beautiful ladies who were suspected to be robbers in the middle of the night. Many people were still regretting that they had missed out on a good show. In the end, a performance artist suddenly appeared in the auction house early in the morning.
There was no private chat channel in the parallel world that could be seen by everyone with a shout. Therefore, it was slightly inconvenient to do business. However, it was also because of this that the game's offline trading forum was unusually popular. Players from all over the game would appear there when they wanted to buy or sell something. There were countless trading forums, but it was still popular. In fact, it was quite surprising for an exquisite piece of equipment like the Ideal Staff to appear in the Auction House. It was common for such an exquisite item to be sold to the world on the Trade Board.
In the end, as soon as the Ideal Staff was sold in the auction house, another man immediately appeared in the auction house to buy it. Such a creative and targeted idea immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Brother, aren't you tired of doing this!" Someone even came up to interview him.
"It's alright." Dao Xiangmu did not want to be distracted. He stared at the place where the item was being sold and casually answered the interview.
Everyone could clearly see where he was looking at. This time, no one suspected that he was a robber. They all laughed and said, "Brother, you're really considerate. You want to buy the staff from the person who bought the ideal one yesterday?"
Dao Xiangmu nodded.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the person who bought the staff yesterday didn't come to collect the staff after the auction ended!" Someone said.
"So, he still hasn't come?"
"Who knows."
The players discussed and gave Dao Xiangmu a thumbs up. Dao Xiangmu could only smile bitterly. No matter what, Kennan Yu's strategy was extremely successful. He used such a method to attract everyone's attention. Instead, it gave everyone a preconceived idea and no longer suspected that Dao Xiangmu had other motives.
In contrast, the others were having an easy time. Whether it was the Wanted Mission Office or the resurrection points in the safety zones, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Kennan You thought hard for a long time to see if this could explain anything. After inadvertently glancing at his friends list, he finally realized that most players had not woken up yet.
He tried adding Thin Waist Dance as a friend, and sure enough, she wasn't online yet. Jian Nan You replied to her letter. In the letter, he agreed to her request in all seriousness and told her how much the double reward would be, how long it would take to complete the mission, and the deposit. Jian Nanyou felt that if he wanted to put on an act, he had to go all the way. Since he was going to pretend to be hooked, he had to act as himself. It would be unreasonable if he didn't ask for a deposit.
After adding Thin Waist Dance, Jian Nan You tried all the names he knew, such as Thousand Miles Drunk and Hundred Eras of Wisdom, but none of them were online. This wasn't the time when most players were online, but because of this, there was a chance that the buyer, who had been hiding all this time, would show up at this time. Jian Nan had also been trying to figure out why this strange buyer had not shown up for a long time. He put himself in his shoes and felt that the other party was worried about being targeted by the robbers. That was why he was so cautious. If that was the case, it was highly likely that he would show up when there were fewer people.
Jian Nan You reminded Dao Xiangmu to be more careful.
Meanwhile, Dao Xiangmu was having a headache from being surrounded by people. He felt that most of the players who came to the auction house early in the morning weren't here to buy or sell items, but to see him. Dao Xiangmu decided to stay put. Facing the onlookers, he held his sign up high and didn't move.
In the afternoon, Jian Nan You suddenly received a notification that he had a new mail. He immediately went to his mailbox and looked at the sender. As expected, it was Thin Waist Dance. He couldn't wait to read the content. In the end, Jian Nan You's meticulous reply was only one word: Okay. There was also a deposit of 1500 gold coins that Jian Nan You had requested.
"What a great customer!!" Jian Nan You couldn't help but sigh. There was no haggling, no purposely making things difficult for him, no hesitation, just one word: Okay, a deposit, simple and direct. Jian Nan You didn't want to believe that this was a trap. He really hoped that they were working for Thin Waist Dance!
Jian Nan You imitated Thin Waist Dance's attitude and replied with a "Okay". He was a little disappointed and hoped that Thin Waist Dance would reply again. Even though he knew it was impossible, Jian Nan You still imagined the beautiful scene where Thin Waist Dance would bury the hatchet and become their top customer.
"Sigh!" Just as he was sighing, he suddenly received a message from Glue, "Da Nan, Silvermoon sent a message asking about the Magic Staff."
"Tell him to go die." Jian Nan You wasn't in a good mood. Why were beautiful things always illusions, but reality was all trash?
Glue was probably in Jian Nan You's bad mood, so he was silent for a while before asking, "Really?"
"Tell him that you'll contact him when the Magic Staff drops. It's not like it's past the appointed date, why would he ask every day? "Jian Nan You said.
"Oh …"
Just as Glue sent the message, Dao Xiangmu came again and said, "Da Nan, we can't continue like this! If the buyer only shows up at the end, I can't possibly hold up the sign for seven days! "
Of course, Jian Nan You wouldn't treat his own brother as badly as he treated Silvermoon. He immediately explained, "Of course we won't make you hold it up for seven days. You're just making the first move. This way, we can help you hold it up at any time. The players will naturally think that we're helping you buy the Magic Staff. Won't all their suspicions be cleared?"
"If we really waste seven days like this, then we'll lose a lot of money for this mission." Dao Xiangmu said.
"There's no other way. Before the mission, no one knew what would happen. We can only say that we were unlucky this time. Now that there's a chance, if we really make you pay that trash Silvermoon double the deposit, then we'll lose even more money! "Jian Nan You said.
"How about this, I'll hold up the sign here, and you guys don't need to worry about anything else. Just do whatever you need to do. Don't waste everyone's time here. Isn't Thousand Miles Drunk going to cause a ruckus? Let's just stake it all on one throw. After we find out where the Magic Staff is, we'll gather and do what we need to do. What do you think? "Dao Xiangmu said.
Jian Nan You thought about it and felt that it made sense. He nodded his head and told the others about it. Other than Dao Xiangmu, everyone else went to level up. If they didn't even level up and just squatted around for a week, their losses would be too great.
On Slender Waist Dance's side, she received Jian Nan You's reply when she went online. Double the price, time needed, deposit, everything was clear. Actually, it was impossible for Slender Waist Dance to say that she hadn't dealt with this kind of person before. Although she had a lot of money, money didn't represent character. None of the equipment and skill scrolls on her body were obtained through luck. They were all bought with money.
As for which of these sellers were honest players, which were despicable scammers, and which were bandits like Jian Nan You, she naturally didn't care. Perhaps one of the items on her body was "stolen goods". She had seen a business letter like Jian Nan You's before, so she wasn't surprised at all. She happily replied Jian Nan You's letter and paid the deposit. Slender Waist Dance then took the letter and went to look for Boundless Mang.
"See, I told you it was easy to hook!" Slender Waist Dance slapped the letter for Boundless Mang to see.
Mang Mang, who was in a daze, read the letter carefully three times. This was all Jian Nan You's performance. Naturally, there were no loopholes in the letter. However, Jian Nan You agreed so readily that she could not help but have some doubts.
"You've already paid the deposit?" Boundless Mang asked as she poked at the 1500 gold deposit. Jian Nan You's letter said that if the reward was double, the quest would be 8000 gold, so he needed 1500 gold deposit.
"Aren't you afraid that he's just scamming you for money?" Boundless Mang felt that Slender Waist Dance's wariness was too low.
"No, after I received the letter, I went to the auction house to take a look. Guess what happened? One of their Clerics was holding up a sign that said 'Buying Ideal Magic Staff'. They were just waiting for the Magic Staff to appear! I saw that they were doing something, so I sent him the money. "Slender Waist Dance said.
"Is it really that simple?" Boundless Mang felt that things were going too smoothly.
"That's right, I have to tell those guys not to cause trouble for now. They're helping us get the Magic Staff!" Slender Waist Dance didn't think too much. Just as Jian Nan You expected, she paved the way for them and went to find Young Master Han.
Young Master Han roughly glanced at Jian Nan You's reply and threw it to the side. Beside him, Brother You immediately picked it up and studied it carefully.
"Uh, double the price is 8000 gold, so the original price is 4000 gold. The normal price for an ideal Magic Staff is 2000 gold, which means that their manpower cost is 2000 gold. There are a total of seven people, so each person is less than 300 gold. However, this quest is estimated to last for 10 to 15 days. Uh, is there a relationship between the amount of money they're charging and the duration of the quest? This ratio …"
Under everyone's gaze, Brother You's voice gradually became softer. In the end, he picked up his little notebook and silently went to a corner to calculate.
"What do you mean?" Young Master Han finally asked about serious matters.
"I'll pay double the price for them to give me the Magic Staff they dropped. Don't cause trouble for now!" Slender Waist Dance said.
Speaking in a rich and imposing manner was a very annoying thing, but for some reason, when it came to Slender Waist Dance, everyone felt that it was so peaceful and natural. It seemed that reputation was really a scary thing. Everyone had already subconsciously thought that this kind of temperament and Slender Waist Dance were natural. If it wasn't so, everyone would feel uncomfortable.
"We have to use this troublesome thing," Young Master Han said. The young master of the Han Family said, "Besides, the Hundred Eras Statesman is your hired thug, so of course your words will work. However, Qian Li is very interested in the Sword Slashing Nanyou, so I'm not sure if he will listen to your arrangements."
"He dares not to listen!" Slender Waist Dance shouted.
"Of course he dares." Young Master Han laughed.
