The scale of the offline martial arts tournament was rather small. There were not many people who joined, and the rewards were not great. Most importantly, the official website had never promoted it, so most of the players in the game did not know about it. Happy was happy to be free because of it. He was most afraid of people forming groups to ask him for his autograph in Gusu City.
When he arrived at the busiest street in Gusu City, there were stalls set up by the players on both sides of the street. There was a simple piece of cloth with furs, weapons, manuals, herbs, and other items placed on it for the passersby to examine.
As the game went on, more Gate Realm players appeared, and Black Wind Mountain was no longer Happy's area of expertise. In fact, quite a number of people discovered quite good training spots, and the market gradually expanded. There were even signs of a hundred flowers blooming.
However …
Some of the normal trinkets would definitely not be able to catch Happy's attention.
Happy's goal was to go to the weapon shop and buy the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks. Right now, he had fifty thousand taels of silver crumbs as a reward. If he added the tens of thousands of taels of silver crumbs he had accumulated over this period of time, his net worth would be more than one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. It was just enough for him to buy the high-grade masterpiece.
He slowed down on the street, and naturally, he wanted to pick up the leftovers.
As of then, the players had not fully developed the game, and they did not know the value of many of the items. Some of the jade slit rings with martial arts recorded in them, some of the items that triggered quests, and even items with amazing effects were all treasures that were hard to buy even with money at the later stages of the game. If they could get their hands on one or two of them, they might be able to earn back one hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs.
He looked around for a while.
He did not get anything.
When he approached the weapon shop, Happy suddenly saw a group of people not too far away from him. Occasionally, there would be people dressed in tight gray fur coats squeezing out of the crowd. There were complicated expressions of regret and satisfaction on their faces. Happy quirked an eyebrow, and great curiosity rose in him. He drew his sword and approached them.
"Eldest senior brother, you're here too?"
Happy's arrival attracted a few people's attention. He turned his head around and saw that Whirlwind Young Li and the others were mixed in the crowd. They waved at him repeatedly.
"Why are they joining in the fun?"
With a hint of curiosity in his heart, Happy walked to the stall through the path the people had made for him, and it was only then that he noticed that it was a three-person stall. The three men stood across from them in a very arrogant manner while they haggled with the players.
The stall in front of the three of them wasn't small. Pieces of gray fur coats were exquisitely made. They were slim, fitting, and seemed to have good defensive capabilities. They were exceptionally eye-catching.
Aside from clothes, there were also wrist guards, leather boots, and shorts. During the early stages of the game, such a 'shop front' was already considered to be rich and colorful, and it was very outstanding. It was no wonder why players were fighting to buy them.
Unfortunately for him, he lost interest after just one glance.
These things were just ordinary primary defensive equipment …
Great Wolf Fur!
Defense increased by 50 points.
Which tailor's shop had produced this set? The set only provided a small amount of Defense. Of course, players could save on Jinchuang Potions and suffer fewer injuries in battle. The set was still quite useful to ordinary players.
However, the players would soon no longer be satisfied with this. Their requirements for equipment would increase, and when that time came, the price of discounted equipment would decrease drastically, and they might not even be able to sell it.
However …
On the other hand, the players present were in high spirits. They chased after the equipment that could increase their defense.
Many people chased after the stall owner to inquire about the price.
"No bargaining! The Great Wolf Fur Coat cost five thousand taels of silver each! Wrist guards, leather boots, two thousand taels of silver, pants, three thousand five hundred taels of silver … "
The trio's tone was the same, and their tone was firm!
To a normal player, five thousand taels of silver was not a small sum of money. They would need to save up for a week, and quite a number of people's expressions changed slightly. They found it hard to bear.
"What about robbery?"
"We don't have a lot of stock. Buy it if you want, but if you want it, hurry up."
The three stall owners only cast a glance at the person who spoke. Once they estimated the person's purchasing power, they said those words and looked away to talk to the others. When they ran into people who were forthright, they immediately closed the deal.
When they saw more people grit their teeth and buy the Great Wolf Fur Coat, Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate, who had been watching quietly, became slightly tempted and anxious.
They had quite a lot of money on them. They gritted their teeth and prepared to buy a set.
"Bro, give me a set."
"Wait."
Happy looked up and spoke at the perfect moment to stop them from taking their next step.
"If you really want to wear it, you don't have to buy it. Come with me."
"…"
Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, and Azure Wolf were instantly stunned, but they always trusted Happy's words. They did not hesitate and turned around to walk out of the crowd.
"…"
The three stall owners had been eyeing Whirlwind Young Li and Eastern Green Gate, who had extraordinary presences. When they saw that their business had been stopped, they could not help but feel annoyed. But when they saw Happy's attire, a name rose in their minds, and their hearts turned cold. They looked elsewhere.
The Blue-robed Noble Sword User was an elite who had caused Dragon Tiger Sect to suffer losses. In fact, he had even made the people from Dragon Tiger Sect take a detour to avoid him. They had only relied on the Great Wolf Fur Coat to get rich. They were not arrogant enough to provoke Happy.
Happy moved out of the crowd and entered the weapon shop. Without hesitation, he bought the Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks, which was worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. Then, under the trio's dumbfounded gazes, he walked out of the city.
"Eldest senior brother …"
Whirlwind Young Li was shocked for a long while before he recovered. He caught up to Happy in excitement and said, "This is a high-grade masterpiece. It's very expensive, and you're willing to buy it?"
"You can only gain if you give up something!"
Happy smiled faintly.
"Basic equipment changes very quickly, and soon, it will become worthless, but the price of high-grade equipment will not fall for a long time. It's worth it to buy this."
Eastern Green Gate's eyes lit up when he heard this. He closed his folding fan and slapped it against his palm.
"Are you saying that spending five thousand taels of silver to buy the Great Wolf Fur Coat isn't worth it?"
Happy nodded.
"Instead of wasting that money, it would be better for me to buy a few martial art manuals and increase my qi realm, or I might as well save it and buy a high-grade equipment."
"Oh."
Understanding appeared on the trio's faces.
"Then, where are we going?"
When they got out of the city, Azure Wolf looked around in puzzlement.
"Didn't you want the Great Wolf Fur Coat?" Happy turned around and smiled mysteriously at the trio.
The trio looked at each other at a loss, and their eyes lit up.
"Didn't you just say that buying this sort of basic equipment isn't worth it?"
"Five thousand taels of silver. Of course it's not worth it, but the equipment itself is still quite useful." Happy was neither arrogant nor rash. He pointed at the tall mountain in the distance outside the city.
"The defensive effects of the Great Wolf Fur Coat are pretty good. It won't affect your movement speed, and it can protect your vitals. Its effects aren't any weaker than Ink Armor. It'll be beneficial for all of you to have one set! "But there's no need for you to buy it. The raw materials for this set come from the pelt of a Great Wolf in the depths of Cold Mountain Temple. As long as you get its pelt and ask the shopkeeper of the tailor's shop to customize it, you'll only need five hundred taels of silver to make an entire set of equipment."
"…"
The three of them were stunned once again.
'Five hundred taels of silver?
The stall owner who sold the Great Wolf Fur Coat just now cost more than ten thousand taels of silver. '
Naturally, they did not know that Happy was just making an estimate, because the crafting fees for Grade Two equipment was indeed very cheap. As long as they provided the materials, the tailor's shop could create it within a short period of time.
