Chapter 113: Excellent Quality

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the jungle was dense, the rhinoceros was like a heavy train. It could use its horn to open up a path and avoid obstacles. That was why they quickly returned to the safe zone.

The seventh bonfire had been built by then...

The moment Wei Huo appeared, all the players in the safe zone noticed him. The group of players exclaimed, “A traveling merchant! We only see merchants on trailers. I didn’t expect one to actually come to our safe zone!”

That had indeed been the advice of System Number Two.

Wei Huo praised it silently.

He wondered how he should introduce himself. However, he had not expected the players to know what traveling merchants were.

A player shouted, “Be careful, don’t step on the bonfire!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Do you think I’m as dumb as you guys?

A large group of players rushed out of the safe zone and surrounded Wei Huo and the rhinoceros. Because Wei Huo was wearing a black helmet, the information they checked was only composed of question marks. However, the rhinoceros and its equipment could be detected.

“This is a high-level NPC! I can only see question marks. Could it be an Epic-ranked creature? Ha ha...”

“No, no, no. That is an overestimation. It’s at most Rare. Look at this rhinoceros. It’s Rare-ranked. I wonder if it’s for sale.”

A 16- or 17-year-old female player seemed like she wanted to touch the rhinoceros’ horn. However, she retracted her hand after being kicked by the rhinoceros. “It’s so scary!”

At that moment, a player pointed to an excellent bronze sword and asked, “Boss, how much is this sword?”

Wei Huo said, “3,500 Magical Stones.”

The short bronze sword was also available in the Item Mall. It cost 3,000, but its quality was normal. All the items in the Item Mall were of normal quality. It was reasonable for a short sword of excellent quality to be only 500 Magical Stones pricier. The player nodded but did not buy it.

Wei Huo smiled. He was about to make his ultimate move. “The camp that trades with me will increase my favorability toward it. I will first head to the camp with the higher favorability.”

The players started to panic. At that moment, a tall player stood up and said, “I want all the goods you have!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, the other players looked unhappy. A skinny player said coldly, “Aren’t you being too arrogant? You want to grab them all? Do you think you’re awesome just because you’re a professional player? Can you defeat all of us in one-on-one fights?”

The surrounding players did not say anything. Professional players were not afraid, but they were afraid that the professional players were very strong in the Demon World. After all, the Demon World was a world where the strong were respected.

The tall man laughed out loud. “You’re mistaken, everyone. I know my place. Although I want to buy all this equipment, as long as you guys join the camp I built, I’ll give each of you one piece of the equipment I buy today.”

The skinny player’s eyes lit up. He raised one hand and said loudly, “I’ll be the first one to join you, Big Brother Gao. I’ll be the first one to join your camp!”

The other players looked at him in disdain.

Gao Yi walked over to Wei Huo. As Wei Huo was sitting on top of the rhinoceros, he had no choice but to lift his head. He then saw that pair of sparkling eyes.

Gao Yi was shocked. Those eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s eyes!

However, what he saw was Ye Yunxiao’s fake eye...

“Your Excellency,” Gao Yi said respectfully, “If I purchase equipment with my personal identity, will the favorability be added to my camp?”

Wei Huo smiled and said, “After you build your camp, it will be added to it.”

“I want to buy all the equipment. How much is it?”

Wei Huo thought about it and felt that sheep’s fur should not be too expensive for the first time. They should walk the path of sustainable development.

Wei Huo pulled out all his bronze equipment. “100 pieces of bronze equipment will cost you a total of 300,000 Magical Stones.”

The man’s face darkened. That much?

He was planning to improve his favorability among the travelers and rope in the scattered gamers around him. He was the one who had entrusted the skinny gamer with the mission. However, he had not expected that it would cost more than 300,000 Magical Stones. Why would he spend more than 300,000 Magical Stones?

“Sir, are you selling this rhinoceros?”

Wei Huo’s eyes narrowed. The pressure of his gaze penetrated his helmet and landed on his body. A moment later, he broke out in cold sweat.

The game was really realistic. An NPC could even emit the pressure of a Demon General.

Wei Huo checked the number of Magical Stones he had. More than 300,000 Magical Stones were already in his tab. The cost of crafting this bronze sword was not high at all. He could make a bronze sword with 500 Magical Stones’ worth of materials. This was not a loss for Wei Huo at all. Plus, he could purchase all sorts of weapons.

For example, Wei Huo pulled out a bronze saber. The quality of the saber was Master-level, and its conductivity was 75% higher.

Generally, the rank of an item could be rough, normal, excellent, Master, or Legendary. In the Item Mall, one could only buy normal items. One could only find or forge equipment of higher quality.

The skinny player asked, “Brother Gao, are you not planning to take that Master-level saber?”

Brother Gao sneered. “I don’t plan on walking the path of cultivation. I walk the path of science and technology. That thing is useless to me. I’m not interested. Whoever wants it can have it.”

“Boss, how much is this saber?”

Wei Huo replied, “This saber is only limited to one blade. The starting price is 7,000. The highest bidder will obtain it.”

The group of players lost interest when they heard that it would cost them 7,000. Wei Huo used his ultimate move again. “It’s said that this blade used to be the Number One Blade Master’s saber. If someone handed it back to him, they might have a chance.”

As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, Gao Mou jumped forward and said, “I’ll buy this saber!”

The players were speechless.

Didn’t you say you were not interested?

Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief, as no one was vying with him. After he was done with the trade, Wei Huo took out a necklace.

Gao Mou was confused.

You have more?

Wei Huo had taken out the necklace mainly because he had seen two players arguing. The female player had created a new account, so a new female character walked out of the altar.

However, the female player started arguing with the male player again. “I don’t care! Cut off all ties with that NPC immediately!”

The male player said, “That will not do. Once I do that, I will be called a scumbag. The negative effect will be huge!”

Wei Huo was confused. Was the earlier character not deleted? Could the character have been retrieved and left for the next batch of players? Wei Huo thought that it was highly possible given the game creator’s greedy nature!

The female player started pestering him. “I don’t care...”

At that crucial moment, Wei Huo had taken out the necklace. “Gold necklace. Rank: Excellent. Price...”

Before Wei Huo could finish his sentence, the male player roared, “I’ll buy it!”

Wei Huo added, “Starting price: 50,000!”

The male player’s face darkened. The gold necklace was worth tens of Magical Stones in the Item Mall.

The male player wanted to go back on his word, but the female player stared at him. “Is this for me?”

The male player could only nod bitterly.

At that moment, a player asked, “Is there a story behind this necklace? Why is it so expensive?”

The male player’s eyes lit up. That’s right, such an expensive item was definitely not normal. He might even be able to receive a powerful quest...

“No, there’s no story,” Wei Huo replied coldly.

The male player nearly vomited blood. He clutched his chest, which was hurting slightly. The ups and downs of life were exciting.

After scamming the players, Wei Huo said, “Goodbye, friends. We’ll meet again!”

The male player felt like crying. I don’t want to meet you again.

The rhinoceros turned around and walked back slowly.
