Outside Star-Moon City's Palace, the city was brightly lit. The street adjacent to the Palace was bustling as if a large-scale celebration was being held. Players hawked their wares on both sides of the street.
Unlike ordinary cities, Star-Moon City's transportation system was well-developed. Players from other kingdoms and empires constantly traveled to and fro. Hence, players did not have to travel to other cities to set up their Stalls in designated areas every three or four days. In Star-Moon City, players could set up their Stalls every night. Only, they had to pay a certain fee.
However, there were still a large number of players willing to set up their Stalls here. Compared to auctioning their items at the Auction House and paying a high processing fee, they could earn more by offering a lower price.
When selling items in the Auction House, most players would choose the Auction House to earn money quickly or to sell their precious treasures for a good price.
Due to the lower prices of the items sold at the Auction House, many independent players and even large Guilds would come here to purchase materials and items.
At this moment, Shifeng had come here to purchase materials.
Exchanging Coins for Reputation was actually a Special Quest in Star-Moon City. Players who focused on grinding Dungeons might not discover this Special Quest. However, to players who leveled up slowly and focused on gaming, it was not difficult to discover this Special Quest. As long as they inquired around the capital city, they would, more or less, find some clues about the quest.
This clue was that Grand Duke Hartfield's daughter had fallen ill and was in urgent need of a large amount of Herbs.
Players only needed one stack of Common Herbs to complete the quest and earn a certain amount of Coins and EXP. Moreover, this quest could be accepted indefinitely. Only, the Herbs given away were not worth the Coins and EXP gained. However, some wealthy players who wanted to level up quickly would spend some Coins to increase their EXP. However, these players did not spend much. After all, Coins were very valuable during the early stages of the game. No one would be foolish enough to spend them.
Just as everyone thought that this was a Special Quest that allowed players to exchange Coins for EXP, a few crazy players, who did not wish to level up in the fields, madly purchased Herbs to exchange for a small amount of Coins and EXP.
Just like that, these players exchanged 1,500 stacks of Herbs. Finally, the key to this quest was unlocked.
After exchanging 1,500 stacks of Herbs, Grand Duke Hartfield would no longer reward players with Coins or EXP. Instead, he would only reward players with one item — a Thank You Gift.
Many items could be obtained from this Thank You Gift Box. There was a 10% chance of obtaining a Reputation Book, which would grant a certain amount of Star-Moon City Reputation.
That was why the Shifeng came to the market to buy herbs, whether they were common or rare.
"Purchasing common herbs, 40 Coppers per stack. Rare herbs, 3 silver coins per stack, unlimited purchase! " After the Shifeng ran around the market and found out about the prices of the herbs, they began to shout in the trading channel.
The trade channel was a channel unique to the market. Any player in the market could receive the trade channel. However, players had to pay a fee to use the trade channel, and each message could not exceed 100 words. It cost a silver coin, but the publicity effect was excellent.
This would save the Shifeng a lot of trouble.
Every stall had different amounts of herbs. If the Shifeng went one by one, even if he was exhausted, he would not be able to buy much. Therefore, he decided to set a middle price, and those who wanted to come would naturally come to trade. He did not have to negotiate the price one by one.
With Shifeng's shout, a group of players selling herbs immediately rushed over.
"Brother, how many herbs do you want?"
"Big Brother Swordsman, look at the quality of the herbs I have here. If you buy a lot, you can get a lower price."
When the players saw the Shifeng, they were like hungry wolves that had seen meat. They all pounced on the Xiang Shifeng, fighting to sell the herbs. The market was much more popular than the Shifeng had expected.
"Good, good. No need to rush. Line up one by one." The Shifeng smiled, waving his hand to signal the crowd.
He had to admit that the capital city was indeed the capital city. The players' enthusiasm was extraordinarily high.
In reality, when he thought about it, the players were all busy leveling up. They were not interested in Lifestyle classes. Although there were Guilds nurturing Alchemists, their own Guilds could easily procure the herbs needed by Alchemists. There was no need to purchase them.
More importantly, the demand for herbs was relatively low. As useful potion recipes were extremely rare, the demand for herbs was even lower. In addition, the Starmoon Kingdom was not a kingdom with a shortage of herbs. As a result, the prices of herbs had always been low.
Even though there were 20 herbs per stack, each stack of Common Herbs only sold for 40 Copper Coins. Even Rare Herbs only sold for 3 Silver Coins per stack. It was easy to imagine how worthless they were.
Even so, very few people were willing to purchase herbs. Hence, the crowd was so excited when they saw the Shifeng.
A large number of players would usually encounter herbs during their adventures. They would also collect them and sell them in bulk.
Now, however, the Shifeng had taken advantage of all these herbs.
After a short moment, the Shifeng had received 2,000 stacks of Common Herbs and 200 stacks of Rare Herbs, spending a total of 14 Gold. To the Shifeng, this was a drop in the ocean. Only, to ordinary people, the price was slightly higher.
"Sorry, my bag is full. Everyone, please wait for a moment. I'll be back in a moment." After saying so, the Shifeng turned and ran back to the Grand Duke's house.
Everyone watched the Shifeng leave reluctantly. However, when they heard that the Shifeng would be returning, they all stood there and waited quietly.
These days, very few players were willing to purchase herbs. Now that one had appeared, how could they give up so easily? Not to mention waiting for a moment, they would even be willing to wait for several hours.
The Grand Duke's house was not very far from the Palace. The journey only took a little over ten minutes.
After the Shifeng entered the Grand Duke's house, the Level 150 Head Butler recommended him to the Level 200 Grand Duke Hartfield. After a brief conversation, the Grand Duke told the Shifeng about his daughter.
Afterward, the Shifeng received a special quest to purchase herbs. He then began to take out stacks of herbs from his bag.
For every stack of herbs he delivered, the Shifeng received 20 Copper and 2,000 EXP. Although the Shifeng lost 20 Copper, the Shifeng did not mind.
The delivery of the herbs was much faster than forging. As long as they delivered the herbs, they would immediately receive an EXP reward. It was extremely convenient.
After a short moment, the Shifeng had delivered 1,500 stacks of Common Herbs, earning him a total of 3 Gold and 3,000,000 EXP. Moreover, he had spent less than half an hour to complete the task.
Earning 3,000,000 EXP in half an hour was definitely efficient. Unfortunately, after the 1,500 stacks of herbs, Shifeng only received Thank You Gifts. Otherwise, the Shifeng would have liked to experience the feeling of leveling up to Level 30 quickly.
Following which, the Shifeng did not waste any more time. As there were still a large number of players waiting for him to complete his trade, the Shifeng did not hesitate as he exchanged all of the herbs. Compared to Common Herbs, one stack of Rare Herbs could be exchanged for ten Thank You Gifts. In terms of money, exchanging Rare Herbs for Thank You Gifts was more worth it. Unfortunately, there were too few Rare Herbs. (To be continued.)
