Stone Forest Town, Ling Yi Auction House:
"Brother Qi, you're really lucky today! You actually got over 20 Magic Crystals in a row!" A Level 42 Elementalist exclaimed excitedly as he entered the Auction House. "If we can grind like this for two days, we won't have to worry about the Level 45 Berserker Set anymore."
"My luck is pretty good today. I never thought that I'd get so many Magic Crystals in a row. Now, we only need to grind for five days to complete the Berserker Set," the Level 44 Shield Warrior said, nodding. His eyes glowed when he mentioned the Berserker Set.
Currently, the Shield Warrior only wore a mix of Level 40 and Level 40 Fine-Gold Equipment, while the Berserker Set was a Level 45 Fine-Gold Set Equipment. If he could equip the Berserker Set at Level 45, his Defense, Strength, and HP would increase significantly. He would even have a chance of going up against a Level 55 Great Lord.
"Brother Qi, as long as you equip the Berserker Set, our party will prosper. Let's see if that brat Luo Yang dares to show off in front of us," the Level 42 Elementalist said excitedly.
Luo Yang was their classmate. Although they had all joined God's Domain at the same time, Luo Yang had joined a party that was over Level 50. This party had helped him level up, and his leveling speed in the neutral maps was extremely fast. Currently, Luo Yang was already Level 47. Normally, Luo Yang would often boast about how great the neutral maps were, causing them to feel extremely envious.
Meanwhile, they could only grind for Magic Crystals in the Stoneclaw Mountains.
To a party, the most important thing was their MT. As long as their MT was strong enough, they could grind in high-level maps. Hence, after equipping the Berserker Set, their party could grind in Level 55 neutral maps.
"Relax. Our luck is pretty good today. Once we've replenished our Magic Scrolls, we'll grind another round. Once we get the Berserker Set, we'll head to the neutral maps," the Level 44 Shield Warrior said expectantly.
Following which, the group found a seat in the hall and opened the Auction House's system interface.
"Crap! How did the Ling Yi Auction House suddenly have so many Magic Scrolls?! "The Level 44 Shield Warrior was stunned.
Normally, they came to the Ling Yi Auction House to purchase Tier 1 Magic Scrolls. However, not only were the scrolls rare, but there were also very few types of Magic Scrolls. High-tiered Magic Scrolls were extremely rare. After all, mainstream players wouldn't linger in maps below Level 50. Naturally, they wouldn't bring their high-tiered Magic Scrolls to the Ling Yi Auction House.
Even though there were many players in Ling Yi City, traveling between Star-Moon City and Ling Yi City was very convenient. To obtain a better price, most players would sell their Magic Scrolls in Star-Moon City's Auction House or set up stalls in Ling Yi City. Very few would sell their Magic Scrolls in Ling Yi City's Auction House. As a result, Stone Forest Town's Auction House did not have many items.
Now, however, not to mention Tier 1 Magic Scrolls, even the super-rare Tier 3 Magic Scrolls were not for sale. Instead, all kinds of Tier 1 Magic Scrolls were available.
"Am I dreaming?! There's actually someone selling Level 45 top-tier Dark-Gold Equipment in the Ling Yi Auction House?!" the Level 42 Elementalist exclaimed in shock.
At the end of the day, the Ling Yi Auction House was only a Guild Auction House. Very few players were willing to sell their items in the Guild Auction House. Hence, it was very difficult to come across low-tiered top-tier equipment. Moreover, the various large Guilds didn't sell low-tiered top-tier equipment to the public. Instead, they would leave them in the Guild Warehouse for new members to exchange for. Hence, even in NPC Auction Houses, top-tier low-tiered weapons and equipment were very rare.
Normally, players would grind far away from NPC cities, making traveling back and forth very inconvenient. Hence, they would only return to NPC cities once in a while. Hence, the chances of coming across such items were very low.
Yet, now, the Ling Yi Auction House was actually selling such items. Why wouldn't he be surprised?
At this moment, they weren't the only ones surprised. The other players who had arrived at the Ling Yi Auction House were similarly shocked. The variety of items available in the Ling Yi Auction House was even more amazing than that of ordinary NPC cities' Auction Houses. They had everything they needed.
"With so many items, we won't have to return to Star-Moon City anymore! We can grind in Stone Forest Town until we reach Level 50!" The Level 44 Shield Warrior exclaimed. "Our leveling speed will definitely surpass that brat Luo Yang's!"
Although neutral maps provided more EXP, traveling to and from neutral maps was very time-consuming. Moreover, they had to travel to Star-Moon City from time to time to replenish their EXP. If they had everything they needed in Stone Forest Town, their leveling speed definitely wouldn't be any slower than in neutral maps.
"Brother Qi, look! There's a Level 45 top-tier Dark-Gold Shield here! If we equip it at Level 45 and use the Berserker Set, we'll have no problems tanking a Level 50 Grand Lord!" the Level 42 Elementalist hurriedly shouted.
"It really is top-tier! When equipped, it can increase our Defense by 20%! Even after we reach Level 50, I can use it! "the Level 44 Shield Warrior's breathing quickened when he saw the shield.
Along with the commotion in the Ling Yi Auction House, news of the shield quickly spread. Players below Level 50, who had originally planned to leave Stone Forest Town, changed their minds and decided to stay in Stone Forest Town until they reached Level 50.
As for the players in the Starmoon Kingdom between Level 30 and Level 50, they swarmed toward Stone Forest Town like bees to honey. Immediately, the declining Stone Forest Town became crowded. Meanwhile, the players gathered at the Ling Yi Auction House were overcrowded.
In just half an hour, the Shifeng Auction House had earned over 100 Gold. Moreover, this was only the net profit. As the number of players increased, the Shifeng Auction House's profits increased as well.
Meanwhile, White River City's Auction House had also benefited greatly from this incident. Some players who had tried to sell their items in White River City's Auction House had suddenly discovered that their items were being purchased very quickly. Hence, they quickly transferred their items to White River City's Auction House.
Immediately, White River City's Auction House became lively. This situation surprised the various major powers in the Starmoon Kingdom. They couldn't understand what the Ling Yi Society had done to make White River City's Auction House so lively. Compared to Starlink's Auction House, White River City's Auction House was even more lively.
Seeing this development, the Ling Yi Society's members rekindled their hopes. After all, the prosperity of White River City's Auction House represented Ling Yi's profits.
This situation stunned Youlan, who managed Ling Yi's finances. Just a moment ago, White River City's Auction House had been on the brink of collapse. Now, however, it was incomparably lively. Players rushed to White River City's Auction House to sell their items.
At this rate, the Guild would most likely be able to operate normally with just the income from White River City's Auction House and Ling Yi City's Auction House. They wouldn't have to worry about running out of funds.
Although Youlan thought so, in Shifeng's opinion, this was only the beginning.
"Guild Leader, I've already negotiated a price with the Dark Night Empire's various major powers. We're just short of signing a contract," Shiwei Wei said worriedly. "There are a total of 45 central or high-potential Shops scattered across the empire's ten largest cities. They're asking for a total of 1.06 million Gold. I'm afraid we won't be able to afford this price. Even if we pay in two monthly installments, we still can't afford it. Moreover, these powers want us to pay in full within one month …"
"1.06 million Gold? Sign the contract! "Shifeng agreed after giving the matter some thought.
Purchasing 45 central or high-potential Shops in the empire's ten largest cities for 1.06 million Gold would cost an average of 20,000 Gold per Shop. If not for Starlink purging the various major powers, this price would've been impossible.
"Sign it?" Shiwei Wei had no choice but to grit his teeth and take the risk when he saw Shifeng's unwavering determination. "I'll get it done, then."
