"The price of the items has been adjusted too? How generous! " Brother You hadn't expected this at first. He had hurried out with the Sword Specter to kill the monsters and see what they dropped. He hadn't even stepped out of the door when he heard the news. He hurriedly slipped into a shop by the side of the road.
This was a weapon shop. The system's shop didn't sell anything good. It was just some common equipment, and they were quite expensive. Normally, no one would pay attention to it, treating it like a garbage collection station. If they found some trash that no players would buy, they would just throw it at this shop. The blacksmith in the weapon shop also sold equipment repair services that were more popular. They wouldn't miss the chance to repair the equipment that they passed by every day.
Brother You entered the weapon shop and realized that it was bustling. A large group of players squeezed into the room. He almost didn't have a place to stand. Before Brother You could be surprised, another person came in and pushed him into the door. The room was crowded and chaotic. A player kept shouting, "It's my turn, it's my turn!"
"What's going on?" Brother You asked a player who was squeezing forward with all his might.
"Earning money!" The player answered without turning his head.
"You don't know anything. Why are you joining in the fun?" Someone looked back at Brother You with dissatisfaction.
Brother You had grown up in disdain. He didn't take these words seriously and continued asking shamelessly, "How do you earn money?"
There were naturally kind-hearted people. Someone said to him, "Blacksmithing missions to collect all kinds of ores!"
"Didn't they collect in the past?" Brother You was puzzled. The weapon shop in the game had always collected all kinds of ores. For example, the armorsmith shop would collect some leather and cloth. It was the same for the tailor shop. It didn't seem to be anything new.
In the end, someone immediately looked down on Brother You's ignorance. "Is it still the same as before? Didn't you hear? There will be a limit to the number of such missions in the future. "
"That's just gossip on the forum!" Brother You said. How could Brother You not know about the news that was stirred up in the forum? There would still be money-making missions, but there would be a limit to the number. This was an answer that everyone agreed with after a discussion on the forum. In fact, there was no official announcement. It was just speculation.
"It was gossip yesterday, but not anymore," someone said.
"Why? Is there really a limit?" Brother You asked.
"I don't know yet, but the blacksmith's shop has a limit on the number of weapons they can sell," someone said.
"Is that so? Let me see! "Brother You squeezed forward with all his might. No one would compete with him for the equipment in the blacksmith shop. When everyone saw that this guy was not competing with them for the quest, they let Brother You go. Brother You panted heavily as he squeezed in front of the weapon shop owner. He asked, and sure enough! In the past, the few weapons on the Weapon Rack were just for show. In fact, they were limitless. As long as you bought them, there was no need to worry about the System not selling them. However, it was different now. There were only a few weapons on the weapon rack. Brother You was very surprised. Even if no one wanted the items here, it was not absolute. You only had three to five weapons on display. If someone really took all of them away, the weapon shop would be empty from then on. Wouldn't that be a joke?
Brother You thought about it and asked about the price. This was the same as the alcohol in the tavern. There was a price reduction, but it was not like the alcohol that was reduced by ten times. Compared to the original price … it could not be compared. Even Brother You did not know the original price. In fact, no one had ever paid attention to the white boards in the System Shop, nor did they pay attention to their value. It was just a fleeting impression. Now, they only knew that it was cheap, but how much cheaper?
As Brother You thought about it, he glanced at the equipment on the weapon rack. Suddenly, he lost his composure and shouted, "Blue equipment? Gold equipment? F * ck, there's even purple equipment!!! "
Everyone looked down on Brother You's ignorance. "Tsk, it's purple. Do you dare to buy it?"
There was a purple one-handed sword on the weapon rack. One side of the blade was sharp, while the other side was cut into a sawtooth shape. The name of the sword was Cold Black Saw. It added 15 points to Strength and Constitution, 5 points to Agility, 35% attack, and 20% chance to cause a wound. Every second, 25% of the attack damage would be lost for six seconds.
"It's an effect weapon!" Brother You continued to exclaim. In the past, players only divided weapons into skill weapons and non-skill weapons. The value of weapons with skills was higher than those without skills. However, as the equipment became more abundant, players gradually discovered that weapons could actually be divided into three categories. The first category was skill weapons. In addition to the additional attributes, the weapon had a skill. The second category was effect weapons, which would produce some special effects when attacking. In fact, there were such weapons in the early days, such as enchantments and fatal attacks. However, players had seen too many of them, so they treated them as normal and did not pay attention to them. It was not until there were more and more types of effects that players realized that this type of weapon belonged to a major category. As for the third category, it had no skills and no effects. It was some weapons with additional attributes. At first, players thought that this type of weapon was the most worthless, but later on, they discovered that weapons without skills or effects would have more outstanding attack attributes and additional attributes. In terms of weapon damage alone, this type was the strongest.
The Chilling Black Saw in front of him had an additional effect of 25% damage per second for six seconds, and it couldn't be healed. This meant that as long as this effect was triggered, the damage would be 2.5 times, which was quite impressive. Moreover, the 20% chance was quite high. The Twilight Sword that Brother You was using was also an effect weapon. It could create a weakening effect, but the chance was only 10%.
It was top-grade and practical. Such equipment was actually sold in the shop. This was not the style of the parallel world. Brother You was surprised as he asked for the price. 2,000 gold.
If this price was before the currency update, it would have been quite suitable. By now, it would have been snatched up by others. However, in the current situation, everything in the game had been reduced, but this item had not moved at its original price. Moreover, no one knew how to earn back the money they had spent. Who would dare to mess around? Moreover, 2,000 gold was not something many people could afford even before the update.
Therefore, the players did not care about Brother You's shouting. They were waiting to see how this fellow would react when he saw the price of 2,000 gold.
2,000 gold … Brother You muttered in his heart. If it was yesterday, this was not a big price. However, today, if one used alcohol as a unit of measurement like Young Master Han, this weapon would have increased by ten times.
Brother You was also a very calm person. Although he had a solid wallet, he would not be arrogant. However, when he turned around, he saw the room full of players looking at him with mocking gazes. It was as if they were waiting for him to turn around and laugh at him.
Brother You, who had always been calm, suddenly had an impulse. Everyone's gazes told him that they were waiting for Brother You to make a fuss, but in the end, he would not buy it. Brother You, who had always been a passerby, suddenly had an urge to be looked at in a different light. He suddenly turned around, knocked on the cabinet, and coolly pointed at the Cold Black Saw. "Bring it over. I want it."
The System Merchant was still the same after the update. He would grant the players every request. When he heard Brother You say he wanted it, he immediately turned around to take the sword. Brother You casually threw two money bags on the cabinet. He turned around and glanced at the players. He was delighted. Dumbfounded, right? You didn't expect the System to really dare to spend money to buy it, right?
It turned out that spending money sometimes did not buy things. It was really the feeling of shopping in that instant!!! Brother You felt great. He paid the money and took the sword. He was not in a hurry at all. Slowly, slowly, he walked out of the weapon shop under everyone's dumbfounded gaze.
Of course, even though he was burning money, Brother You did not miss out on the details. He noticed that after he paid for the sword, there was no longer this equipment on the weapon rack. The weapon shop owner took another sword from the blacksmith and placed it on the rack. This time, it was just an ordinary white sword.
It would really be gone after selling it … The white sword that the boss took out afterward might have been the stock that was prepared for this update. But no matter what, the stock would eventually be sold out. Would the weapon shop be empty then? Would the System allow such a huge joke to appear in his game?
Brother You was thinking about it when he suddenly remembered that he had only cared about burning money. He had originally planned to sell the equipment that he did not want to the boss. He wanted to test if the System would return the money after buying the equipment, but he had forgotten.
After putting on an act in the weapon shop, Brother You was too embarrassed to return. Fortunately, even the weapon shop was not the only shop in Cloud Cloud City. Brother You walked a few streets and came to another one. After such a short period of time, this weapon shop was even livelier than the previous one. There were so many people on the street. It seemed like some impatient person had been thinking about whether the money-making mission was still there since last night, so he tried it as soon as he got online. Then, the news spread. Players who were afraid that they would not be able to earn money from then on all came running over. People were afraid of being poor.
Brother You was also very tenacious when it came to research. He would not retreat just because there were too many people. He went over and squeezed with a bunch of people. Finally, someone squeezed in. This time, he did not say anything. The others squeezed in with the blacksmith and miner. He went to the weapon shop owner's cabinet and handed over a blue weapon that he had randomly gotten a few days ago.
When he took it out and asked the boss, the boss actually still accepted it. The price was naturally the system's habit of treating the best item as trash. It completely ignored the value of the item in the players' hearts.
"It actually still accepts … Then all the players who got trash will still throw it into the shop. The system said that NPCs have limited currency. He's collecting equipment here, and the other side is collecting ores. How long can this continue? The system will keep giving them money? No matter how rich the system is, there will be a day when it runs out, right? After it runs out, it will refresh? Isn't that back to the original path? What's the difference from not refreshing? " Brother You pondered again. His blue weapon was not worth much. In addition to the current situation, it was not worth selling at all. The original boss wanted to accept it, so he handed it over.
When he looked up again, the boss handed him the money and turned around to hang the equipment on the weapon rack.
"F * ck!" Brother You was shocked. He hurriedly asked the boss how much it was selling for.
When the boss reported the price, Brother You was shocked. When the system sold it again, it did not treat it as trash. Instead, it became like a player. This was clearly the original market price of this equipment. It was roughly converted after the update.
There was actually such a move … Brother You tested out another setting. He could not predict what kind of situation this research would lead to. He only left a sentence in the mercenary channel with a heavy heart. "It's hard to say what will happen in this update …"
"What's wrong?" Everyone hurriedly asked. Everyone was very concerned about this update.
Brother You did not say anything. He showed everyone the Black Saw that he had just bought.
"F * ck, where did you get it!!!" Everyone exclaimed. The few of them were very familiar with each other. They were very clear about what kind of equipment everyone had. Purple equipment like the Black Saw had very low production. Not everyone had the chance to have it. Sometimes, even if you had the money, there was no market.
"I bought it. I bought it from the system shop." Brother You explained what happened.
"F * ck, there are still a few shops in the city! Let's go take a look! "Imperial Divine Ming jumped up.
"I just went to the weapon shop in Xi City again. I didn't see any Purple equipment. But other than Purple equipment, the weapon shop now sells both Blue and Gold equipment. However, the quantity is very low. I tried to buy a Blue equipment from the shop in Xi City. After I bought it, there was no new stock to replace it. Also, I sold a piece of Blue equipment to him. Guess what? After the shop owner got it, he put it up for sale. The price was the same as the goods he had in his hands. I took note of these prices. I feel that it's more like the players' market. This is not normal! The system is selling things at the same price as the players. Moreover, it's selling exquisite equipment. This, this … I can't figure out what will happen, "Brother You said.
"I say, Brother You, you really have the body of a player and the life of a GM! What does the crap you're worrying about have to do with you? If one parallel world falls, thousands of parallel worlds will stand up. You're a player, and you're afraid of not having a game to play? If you ask me, this update is even better. We're all equipped with exquisite equipment now. We have a lot of gold coins. This is too much of an advantage. Let's seize the time and enjoy it! "Mr. Han looked down on Brother You again.
"Sigh … I'll go to a few more system shops to take a look …" Brother You didn't understand at all. He was born to worry.
The others were originally in a guild meeting. All of them were distracted and discussing the future of this update in the channel. Gu Fei interjected a few words at first. However, he gradually realized that his interjection was just a joke. It had nothing to do with the actual discussion. Slowly, he shut up.
Amethyst Rebirth's pre-battle meeting was also as ridiculous as ever. They digressed from the topic of the currency update after just a few sentences. The girls counted how much food they had left, and Slim Waist Dance started to act generous again. Some of them didn't have much money, so she took the money pouch that Gu Fei gave her and kept stuffing gold coins into their hands. The girls understood her personality and avoided her. But who was faster than her? In the end, they had no choice but to symbolically take a few even if they didn't want them. Slender Waist Dance called out as she returned the money. "Everyone, don't be shy. Take it. If you don't have enough, ask Qian Li for more."
The girls weren't so shameless. Gu Fei felt awkward. Slender Waist Dance had already announced it. How could he not do something? He could only take a money bag too. It was as if he was giving out food. He grabbed a handful here and a bunch there. July watched as the two of them messed up the guild meeting. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There was only so much information about the city war. They couldn't come up with anything during the discussion. In the end, they decided to focus on the mission. However, Gu Fei and Slender Waist Dance could go and kill the enemies. July asked the two of them if they needed a Cleric. Gu Fei thought about Luoluo's reply. He shuddered and shook his head.
All the players spent the past two days in a daze. The currency update brought about a lifeless market. Everyone only wanted to earn money. They didn't dare to spend money carelessly. However, the tavern was still crowded. The price of wine had been cut by ten times. The cheapest red wine now cost 2 copper coins per glass. If they couldn't bear to spend money, it would be too much.
Gu Fei didn't have peace for the past two days. The city war was imminent. All the big guilds had their eyes on him, the current number one expert. They thought of ways to poach him. Other than the local guilds of Cloud City, some guilds that he didn't know from other places also sent letters to negotiate. Even Drifting came to persuade him. Who knew where this guy drifted to? Did he join a guild again? He asked Gu Fei if he wanted to join him. Gu Fei was at a loss. The two of them were opponents last time. They didn't get along well. Why did this person act as if nothing had happened? He still wanted to join him. What did he mean? Was he taking in underlings?
Water Depth made a huge profit this time. He asked Gu Fei but was rejected. Then, he tried to poach Hundred Generations Statesman. Hundred Generations Statesman didn't have a guild. Among the people he knew, only Water Depth wanted to poach him. Water Depth had been with him for a while and understood his personality. He directly said that the city war was coming. He asked him to temporarily join his guild and help him. How could Hundred Generations Statesman reject him? Of course, he happily agreed.
Gu Fei's first reaction when he heard this news was: Shady! This guy from a studio is shady. Luckily, Hundred Generations Statesman didn't cooperate with a studio. Otherwise, he would definitely be sold.
Water Depth's advantage wasn't just this. Sword Ghost also didn't have a guild. Water Depth said, "Don't be idle. Come and help me!" Would Sword Ghost refuse? Of course not! Water Depth got two great experts before the city war. According to the people in the guild, he would bump into trees when he walked. After that, he would grin foolishly. There was no end to it.
Two days passed quickly. Gu Fei was annoyed. After being harassed for half a day, he turned off the message. But he had nothing to do these days! For the first time, there wasn't a single mission in the Wanted Mission Office. How lonely was this world! Everyone was either thinking about making money or thinking about the city war two days later. They didn't even PK. Gu Fei was worried.
Weekend, 6 PM. The game stopped for an hour for the last update before the city war. An hour later, the server opened on time. Players swarmed into the game. After the scene turned bright, all the players were surprised to find that they weren't in the familiar offline area. Everyone had been thrown outside the main city. That familiar main city was thousands of meters away. They could vaguely see that the city gate was closed. Flags were fluttering on the city wall. The bugle sounded. The city war had officially begun.
