"The prices of the items have been adjusted too? How generous!! " Brother You didn't expect this at first. He hurriedly went out with the Sword Demon to kill small monsters and see what they dropped. They hadn't even left the door when Brother You heard the news and 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. Every day, they wouldn't miss the opportunity to repair the equipment that they passed by.
Brother You entered the weapon shop and found that it was very lively. A large group of players crowded in the room. He almost didn't even have a place to stand. Brother You didn't have time to be surprised. Another person came in and pushed him into the door. The room was crowded and messy. He heard a player shouting, "It's my turn, it's my turn!!"
"What's going on?" Brother You asked a player who was desperately squeezing forward.
"Making money!" The player replied 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 grew up in disdain. He didn't take these words seriously and continued to ask shamelessly, "How do you make money?"
There were naturally good people. Someone said to him, "Blacksmithing and issuing mission orders 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. The tailor shop was the same. This didn't seem to be anything new.
In the end, someone immediately looked down on Brother You for being shallow. "Is it still the same as before? Didn't you hear? There will be a limit to the number of these 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 quests, but there would be a limit to the number of quests. This was the answer that everyone agreed upon in a certain thread on the forum. In fact, there was no official statement. It was just speculation.
"Yesterday it was gossip, but now it isn't," 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 Brother You for the equipment in the blacksmith shop. Seeing that this guy didn't want to compete with them for the quest, everyone let Brother You live. Brother You panted heavily as he squeezed in front of the weapon shop owner. 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. But now it was different. There were only a few weapons on the Weapon Rack, there were no more. Brother You was surprised. Even if no one wanted your items, it wasn't that absolute. You only had three to five weapons on display. If someone was crazy enough to take them all, then the weapon shop would be empty. Wouldn't that be a joke?
Brother You thought about it and asked about the price. This was the same as the wine in the tavern. There was a price reduction, but it wasn't like the wine that was reduced by ten times. Compared to the original price … it couldn't be compared. Even Brother You didn't know the original price. It was just that no one had ever paid attention to the System's white boards. They didn't pay attention to their value. It was just a fleeting impression. Now that they looked at it, they only knew that it was cheaper.
Brother You thought about it while casually glancing at the equipment on the Weapon Rack. He suddenly 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?"
On the Weapon Rack was a Purple one-handed sword. 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 Power, 20% chance of inflicting wounds, 25% damage per second, lasting 6 seconds. There was no cure.
"It's a weapon with effects!" Brother You continued to exclaim. In the past, players only divided weapons into Skill Weapons and Non-Skill Weapons. Weapons with skills were worth more than those without skills. However, as the equipment became more abundant, players gradually discovered that weapons could actually be divided into three main categories. The first category was Skill Weapons. In addition to additional attributes, the weapon came with 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 Enchantment and Fatal Strike. However, because players had seen so many of them, they regarded them as ordinary and did not pay attention to them. It was not until there were more and more types of effects that players realized that these types of weapons also belonged to a major category. As for the third category, there were no skills or effects. They were weapons with additional attributes. At first, players thought that these types of weapons were the most worthless. However, later on, they discovered that weapons without skills or effects would have more outstanding attack power and additional attributes. In terms of weapon damage alone, this category was the strongest.
The Black Chilling Saw had an additional effect of 25% damage per second for six seconds. Moreover, it could not be healed. This meant that as long as this effect was triggered, the damage would be increased by 2.5 times. It was quite powerful, and the 20% chance was not low. 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%.
Excellent, practical, this kind of equipment was actually sold in the Shop, this was not the style of the parallel world. Brother You was surprised and asked for the price again. It was 2,000 gold.
If this price was before the currency update, it would have been quite suitable. At this time, it would have been snapped up by people. However, in the current situation, everything in the game had been reduced in price, but this item had not moved. Moreover, no one knew how to earn back the money they had spent. Who would dare to mess around? Moreover, even before the currency update, there were not many people who could afford 2,000 gold.
Therefore, the players did not care about Brother You's shouting. They were waiting to see how this guy 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. But today, if one were to use alcohol as the unit of measurement like the Han Family Young Master, this weapon would be equivalent to ten times the price.
Brother You was also a very calm person. Although he had a solid wallet, he would not be arrogant. At this time, when he turned around, he saw that the players in the room were looking at him with ridicule. It was as if they were waiting for him to turn around and make a joke out of himself.
The usually calm Brother You suddenly had a sudden impulse. Everyone's eyes told him that they were looking at Brother You making a fuss, but in the end, he would not buy it. Brother You, who had always been a passerby, suddenly had an impulse to make people look at him in a new light. He suddenly turned around, knocked on the cabinet, and coolly pointed at the Black Chilling Saw. "Give it to me, 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 get the sword. Brother You casually threw two money bags on the cabinet. He turned around and glanced at the players. He was delighted. Dumbfounded? You didn't think that the System would really dare to buy it!
It turned out that spending money sometimes wasn't about buying things, but the feeling of shopping!!! Brother You was very happy. 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 the dumbfounded gaze of the crowd.
Of course, even though he was burning money, Brother You did not miss the details. He noticed that after he paid for the sword, the equipment was no longer on the weapon rack. The weapon shop owner took another sword from the blacksmith and put 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 might be the stock that was prepared for this update. But no matter what, the stock would eventually be sold out. At that time, would the weapon shop just be empty? Would the System allow such a big joke to appear in the game?
Just as Brother You was thinking, he suddenly remembered that he had been too focused on burning the buns just now. He had originally planned to sell an unwanted piece of equipment to the boss. He wanted to test if the system would return the money after collecting the equipment, but he had forgotten.
The weapon shop had put on an act for once. Brother You was too embarrassed to return. Fortunately, the weapon shop was not the only shop in Cloud City. Brother You walked a few streets and came to another one. After such a short time, this weapon shop was even more lively than the previous one. People were piling up on the street. It seemed like some impatient person had been wondering if this money-making quest was still around since last night, so he tried it out as soon as he got online. Then, the news spread, and players who were afraid that they wouldn't be able to earn money from now on all rushed over. People were afraid of being poor.
Brother You was also very tenacious when it came to research. He would not retreat 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 and handed over a blue weapon that he had randomly gotten a few days ago.
He took it out and asked the boss, but the boss still accepted it. The price was naturally the same as the system's usual high quality item, treating it like 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 the NPC's currency is also limited. He is 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 this the same as returning to the original path? What's the difference from not refreshing? " Brother You pondered again. The value of his blue weapon itself was not high. 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.
However, 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 more like a player's. This was clearly the original market price of the equipment. It was roughly converted after the update.
There's actually such a move … Brother You tested another setting. He couldn't figure out what kind of situation this research would lead to. He just dropped a line in the mercenary channel with a heavy heart, "It's hard to say what will happen with 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 Cold 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 each of them had. For a purple equipment like the Black Cold Saw, the production rate was very low. Not everyone had the chance to own a roadside item. Sometimes, even if you had the money, there was no market.
"I bought it from the system shop." Brother You told them about what happened.
"F * ck, there are still a few shops in the city! Let's go and take a look! "Yutian Shenming 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, there are blue and gold equipment on sale in the weapon shop now. 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 got it, he immediately put it up for sale. The price was the same as the goods he had in his hand. I've noticed these prices. I feel that it's more like the player's market. This isn't normal! The items sold by the system are at the same price as the players, and they're even selling exquisite equipment. This, this … I can't figure out what's going on. "Brother You said.
"Brother You, you're really a player's body, but a GM's life is cheap! 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 that you won't have games to play? If I had to say, this update is even better. We're all equipped with exquisite equipment and have lots of gold coins. This is too much of an advantage. Let's seize the time and enjoy it! "Han Family Young Master 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.
Everyone else was in the middle of a guild meeting, so they all started to get distracted and discuss the future of this update in the channel. Gu Fei would still interrupt a few times at first, but he gradually realized that his interruptions were just jokes and had nothing to do with the actual discussion, so he slowly shut up.
The pre-war meeting on the side of the reborn Amethyst was as ridiculous as usual. They strayed away from the topic of the currency update. The girls counted how much food they had left, and Slender 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 stuffed gold coins into their hands. The girls understood her personality, so they all avoided her, but who was faster than her? In the end, they had no choice but to take a few even if they didn't want them. Slender Waist Dance returned the money as she called out, "Don't be shy, everyone. Take some. If you don't have enough, ask Qianli."
The girls weren't that shameless. It made Gu Fei feel awkward. Slender Waist Dance had already announced it, so how could he not do something? He had no choice but to carry a money pouch as if he was giving out food, grabbing a handful here and there. July watched as the two of them messed up the guild meeting like they were helping out refugees. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There was only so much information about the city war, and nothing much could be discussed. In the end, they decided to focus on the quest, but Gu Fei and Slender Waist Dance could go kill the enemies. July asked the two if they needed a Cleric. Gu Fei replied to Luoluo over and over again. He shivered and shook his head.
The players spent the next two days in a daze. The currency update had brought about a lifeless atmosphere in the market. Everyone only wanted to earn money, and no one dared to spend money carelessly. However, the taverns were still as crowded as ever. The price of wine had been cut by ten times. The cheapest red wine now cost 2 coppers per glass. It would be too much to be reluctant to spend money.
Gu Fei couldn't rest in peace these two days. The city war was imminent, and all the big guilds had their eyes on him, the current number one expert. They thought of all sorts of ways to poach him. Other than the local guilds in 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 had drifted off to? How 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 rivals last time, and they didn't have a good time. Why did this guy act as if nothing had happened and still wanted to join him? What was the meaning of this? Was he taking in underlings?
Water Depth made a huge profit this time. He asked Gu Fei and was rejected. Then, he tried to poach Hundred Era Statesman. Hundred Era Statesman didn't have a guild in the first place. Among the people he knew, only Water Depth wanted to poach him. Water Depth knew this guy's personality after hanging out with him for a few days. He directly said that the city war was coming, and he wanted him to temporarily join their guild and help them out! How could someone of Hundred Lives Statecraft's character refuse? Of course, he agreed without hesitation.
Gu Fei's first reaction when he heard this news was: Shady! This guy from a studio is really shady. Luckily, Hundred Era Statesman didn't cooperate with a studio. Otherwise, he would definitely be sold and still be helping people earn money!
Water Depth's advantage wasn't just this. Sword Demon also didn't have a guild. Water Depth said, "Don't be idle, come and help me out!" Would Sword Demon 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 recently. After he bumped into them, he would grin foolishly. There was no end to it.
Two days passed quickly. Gu Fei was annoyed. After being harassed for a long time, 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, which made Gu Fei worried.
On the weekend, at 6 PM, the game stopped for an hour for the final update before the city war. An hour later, the server opened on time. Players swarmed into the game. After their eyes lit up, 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 now thousands of meters away. They could vaguely see the closed city gates. Flags were fluttering on the city walls, and bugles sounded. The city war had officially begun.
