Moonrise City, Casanova’s Trading Hall.

As a new store with equivalent income and glory, the Trading Hall’s store was completely different from other ordinary stores! The shop had wide doors facing the street, and it had a magnificent atmosphere just like the grand halls of the guilds from various Classes. Its interior was even drawn from the layout of the Adventurer Guild, which could easily accommodate hundreds of players without being cramped.

Once inside the Trading Hall, the main hall’s three large-scale electronic screens displayed a variety of exquisite high-quality equipment for all kinds of Classes. The displayed items were followed closely by subheadings, which explained the classification and properties of the equipment, attracting the crowd’s gaze.

At the bottom of the electronic screen, there were more than a dozen NPC trading windows. All players who needed to post as well as sell their equipment were required to report their equipment and price there.

As they entered, Qin Ruo’s group was immediately awestruck by the Trading Hall’s atmosphere.

Most of the players in the Trading Hall were very well-equipped. Even the worst-equipped players had a mix of Gold and Dark Gold Equipment just like Qin Ruo. Those with slightly better equipment were those who possessed full sets of Dark Gold ones. There were even a few players wearing Legendary Grade Equipment.

Their equipment had been repaired.

Slayer’s Heart did not pay any mind to the players in the grand hall. While he observed the place, he told Qin Ruo that so long as they silently muttered “Trading Hall”, they could get an interface of its entire perimeter.

The information and data of all the equipment in Casanova’s Trading Hall would be listed in detail from the rarest, highest-grade Blue and Violet Equipment to the best Gold and Dark Gold Equipment.

Qin Ruo narrowed his eyes to focus, and gave it a try.

Surely enough!

The interface showed the Trading Hall had currently reached over 14 million inventories. The number was constantly decreasing and increasing, as it was updated live.

Qin Ruo was amazed by the number. He took a deep breath and turned his gaze up to the main Classes’ selection panel

Warrior!

Elementalist!

Bowmaster...

Every Class was available. Qin Ruo selected the Elementalist Class.

Instantly, more options appeared!

Light, Dark, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Thunder...

Water!

A few more options appeared again...

Accessories: Blue, Violet, Gold, Dark Gold, Legendary.

“Man, this sure is thorough.”

Qin Ruo grunted. His gaze landed on Dark Gold and Legendary. Then he sneakily chose the “Legendary” option...

It was empty!

Qin Ruo raised his brow, not feeling all that surprised. Legendary Equipment were after all items that were rarely discovered.

He went back to the previous page that displayed Dark Gold Equipment. Over 30 sets of Aquamancer Equipment were available, which excited Qin Ruo greatly...

However, after scrolling through for some time, it was still slightly disappointing.

The Dark Gold Equipment sets were mostly only usable upon reaching Level 50... Occasionally, there were a few pieces of equipment with only Tier 4 attributes, which could be equipped immediately, making them unattractive.

***

As Qin Ruo finished browsing all the Dark Gold Equipment in the Aquamancer’s section, a player at the corner of the Trading Hall noticed Qin Ruo’s gang. The player did not quite look like someone who was picking out equipment.

He started with Slayer’s Heart, followed by Violet Orchid, then he totally overlooked the rest of the players behind Wang Da until he finally peered at Qin Ruo, who had the aura of a pro.

Initially, the player’s gazes were calm...

However, as soon as the player saw Qin Ruo, he shook slightly, and his eyes suddenly lit up beneath his cloak. Silently, the player emerged from the crowd and approached the group.

As he walked toward Qin Ruo’s gang, he noticed that Slayer’s Heart stood in front of them. He then quickly craned his neck towards Qin Ruo to ask, “How is it? Anything caught your eye?”

Qin Ruo shook his head and sighed with slight disappointment.

“We’re leaving now.”

“Please, wait! This is your very first visit to our Trading Hall, isn’t it? Most of the merchandise in our Trading Hall’s actually in the physical stores and not within the system,” the player, who was an Elementalist hastily explained to Qin Ruo, ignoring Slayer’s Heart’s presence.

“And you are?”

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.”

The Elementalist took off his cloak, revealing a handsome face while politely disclosing his identity to Qin Ruo’s gang...

Hollow Cast:

Angel Faction, Level 49 Solarmancer.

Field Commander of Casanova Clan.

He extended his hand towards Qin Ruo. “I’m Casanova Clan’s Field Commander and the Casanova Trading Hall’s co-manager...”

“Pleasure.”

Qin Ruo extended his hand while he threw Slayer’s Heart, Violet Orchid and the rest of the guys a puzzled glance. ‘What kind of connection does the Casanova Clan have with the Casanova Trading Hall? Could they be con artists?’

Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid exchanged glances and silently thought that at that point, there would not be a person who did not know Qin Ruo’s name. Any player whose level was over 45 would easily recognize the Winter Demon who intruded the Graveyard of the Gods.

“Mr. Qin, it seems like the equipment out here aren’t up to your standards. May I invite you to the inner room of the Trading Hall? Our boss would love to have a chat with you. And of course, the rest of your friends are invited as well.” Hollow Cast pointed at a flight of stairs at the corner of the grand hall and extended his invitation to Qin Ruo’s gang.

“Is there a problem?”

Qin Ruo thought about Little Apple and the others who were still waiting for them at Savis Town. Not wanting to waste too much of their time there, he answered, “If there’s nothing special to discuss, it’ll be more convenient for us to talk via voice chat.”

“Oh, it’s like this, our boss would like to talk business with you, sir.” Hollow Cast paid no mind to Qin Ruo’s coldness and pride. Instead, he replied with more respect in his tone. “Rest assured, sir, this will not take up too much of your time. Meanwhile, I can delight you and your friends with some Dark Gold Equipment in our Trading Hall’s members area.”

“Does your boss handle the business for Dark Gold Equipment personally?”

Qin Ruo furrowed his eyebrows.

“Of course not.” Hollow Cast let out a mysterious laugh and spoke in a softer tone, “These ordinary merchandises are delegated to those below us to handle. I’m responsible for the trading of Legendary Equipment. As for our boss... he only handles the trade for higher-tier equipment.”

‘There are equipment tiers higher than Legendary?’

Qin Ruo was slightly shocked, so he purposely sounded dismayed, “That doesn’t seem right. Since you’re already handling the trade for Legendary Equipment, it seems that I have nothing in common to discuss with your boss.”

Two sets of Legendary Equipment had been spotted in Savis Town by many. It would be no surprise if they were discovered by the Trading Hall. However, Hollow Cast’s boss was obviously not interested in his Darkscale Skelewing Robe and the Helm of Storms.

Unless...

Qin Ruo, Slayer’s Heart, and Violet Orchid all shuddered. There was only one item that was more valuable than a Legendary Equipment, and it was currently H&G’s hottest item... But the real question was, how on earth did Casanova find out?!

“Well, if you don’t seek to understand deeper, how would you find out if there’s anything in common to talk about? How ’bout it?” Hollow Cast continued to smile and gestured an invitation to Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo quickly flashed through the names of all the players who knew about the news in his mind, but it was to no avail...

Finally, Qin Ruo followed Hollow Cast to the second floor of the Trading Hall.

***

After they reached the second floor, Hollow Cast extended his arms to Qin Ruo, Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid. “Welcome to the member area of Casanova’s Trading Hall!”

The large, luminous hall was covered with electronic screens on all four walls.

The electronic walls, clear and translucent, displayed different sets of Dark Gold and Legendary Equipment along with their attributes. The spectacular display astounded all three of them.

They exchanged glances in awe while they scanned through every set of equipment on the electronic wall!

Dark Gold, Legendary...

Even the lowest grade of equipment was at least Dark Gold. Amongst hundreds of equipment, the number of Legendary Equipment were not lacking, as there were dozens of them available. If other players had entered the hall, they would have been wonderstruck to death from laying their eyes upon the exquisite assortments.

Hollow Cast, still smiling, saw his guests’ dumbfounded expressions and said, “These Dark Gold Equipment are each priced above 500,000 gold. The attributes of each equipment were appraised thoroughly before they were brought in. Every item here is of the highest tier.”

“Mr. Qin, you may want a new pair of Dark Gold Boots. Let’s see, there are three pairs available. Those who consigned these boots here require their buyers to trade in a Dark Gold Equipment equivalent to a Zephyr Swordmaster’s level... a Fire Summoner’s Dark Gold Weapon... and a Bowmaster’s Dark Gold Weapon. May I ask if you happened to have these three categories of Dark Gold Equipment?”

Qin Ruo recollected himself and pondered deeply.

“Let’s not talk about the equipment for now. Didn’t your boss want to talk to us about business? What kind of business does he want to do?”

“Regarding Legendary Equipment, along with your Divinity, Mr. Qin... If I’m not mistaken Mr. Qin, there is a piece of Divinity in your possession, am I right?”

The color of their faces changed!

The news about their Divinity had actually reached the Casanova Trading Hall...

Who was the one who leaked it out?!

Hollow Cast disregarded their reactions and continued to speak as he smiled, “Seems like our boss was right. Mr. Qin Ruo, you do have a piece of Divinity with you.” Without giving them a chance to respond, Hollow Cast swiftly pointed at the electronic screen, revealing two virtual light curtains, one blue and another yellow. Behind the light curtains were two hexagonal crystals, which appeared marvelously sleek and smooth. Qin Ruo’s group dropped their jaws at the sight of the crystals.
