Chapter 303 Ou Yang Luo Yan
When the announcements stopped, I brought out a team of [Zhan Long]’s people to look from the distance. Indeed, within a few minutes, a large crowd of people had already gathered in front of the small shop, National Beauty. Quite a few people were aiming for the Ottoman Leg Guards; after all, Emperor Tier equipment were currently considered super high class, especially heavy armors. The stats were exceptionally good, a definite winner among the top heavy armored players.
……
I set the settings such that 10% of National Beauty’s profits would be directly transferred to One Second Hero’s account. The most important thing to do as a person is to keep one’s promises; no matter how great that 10% was, I could not have any selfish thoughts. After all, he had given us coal in a blizzard when we needed it most.
TL: “gave us coal in the blizzard” is an idiom referring to how they had been given help when they most needed it.
“Someone has already made an offer for the Ottoman Leg Guards….” Matcha wryly smiled, “170k G….”
I nodded, “Just keep waiting, there’ll definitely be someone who’ll give a higher offer. Nowadays, Emperor Tier equipment are high in demand……”
“190k G…….”
“211k G…..”
The price kept rising and suddenly, Matcha’s small mouth widened and she gasped, “Boss… this… this suddenly became 500k! This is way too ridiculous. I don’t know who bought it, but I don’t think there’ll be a higher offer….”
The other players couldn’t figure out who had offered this price, but since I had the power of a shop owner, I was allowed to see behind the scenes of the auction. I scanned the information; the 500k G was no one but Wang Ze Cheng. That bastard was actually planning on becoming an RMB player to the end!
“If this keeps up, Cang Cheng will probably have an entire suit of Emperor Tier equipment…..” One Second Hero said as he coldly laughed.
I gripped Emperor Qin’s Sword and smiled, “No matter, even if he has an entire suit of Emperor Tier equipment, the end result will still be the same. We can cut him down anytime we want without needing to greet him…..”
“Alright…. Guild Master, you’re very formidable….”
……
We continued to watch National Beauty’s operation; the Lv 10 red potions were especially popular, and almost every one sold out the second it was made. Given their ability to immediately recover 3000 health, they were too domineering, and especially necessary for Main Tanks to use when fighting BOSSes. The potion was practically equivalent to a high level Healer using a Lv 7 [Heal] 2 times; it was a life saving medicine!
Standing at the marketplace in Ba Huang City’s North Gate, I relished the feeling of money flowing in from National Beauty. One Second Hero also wore a big smile and said, “Looks like my investment will be returned within three months, and that’s a conservative estimate. This National Beauty will bring in at least 20M in profits. Congratulations, Guild Master! You’ve hit the jackpot!”
I smiled and said, “Don’t congratulate me!”
“Why not?” He asked, puzzled.
I contemplated for a moment and said, “I will be transparent about all of National Beauty’s finances. The [God of Commerce Badge] didn’t come from just my own efforts, this National Beauty belongs to all of [Zhan Long]. 10% of all of the revenue will go to you, and the rest will go into [Zhan Long]’s treasury. I won’t take a single cent and everyone can watch over me to make sure I don’t.”
One Second Hero widened his eyes and said, “Boss…… The world is not fair to selfless people. You can’t not take a single cent. Even though the [God of Commerce Badge] had been won by everyone, but… but in the end, you had fought the most. Without your courage, the [God of Commerce Badge] might have ended up in the hands of Jian Feng Han…..”
I smiled and said, “[Zhan Long] has been a dream of mine and my brothers. The greatest reward for me is to see [Zhan Long] rise up, got it?”
“Alright……”
One Second Hero laughed out loud and said, “Looks like there are truly different kinds of people in this world. The fact that Xiao Yao Zi Zai was able to rise up so quickly isn’t some miracle, but rather an inevitable outcome.”
Matcha proudly stuck out her 34Cs and smiled, “Although Boss is very talented, Chen Yong Jie should still stop praising him. Otherwise, he’ll get arrogant. And once this guy gets arrogant, then the rest of [Zhan Long] is screwed…..”
Cheng Yong Jie rubbed his nose and said, “Beautiful Matcha, I know. In the future, when I join [Zhan Long], you must take extra care for me. We’re both Knights, but you’re still a bit stronger than me…….”
Matcha’s ego inflated as she looked toward me and said, “Boss, did you see that? There’s someone who called me very strong….”
I glanced at her, then reached out and patted her shoulder as I smiled and said, “Then everyday you should go to the practice area to train your spear’s stab, and make sure that at least 90% or more of your stabs are critical hits. Then I’ll admit that you’re strong. Otherwise, if even your [Phantom Ray Slash] misses how do you expect me to endure it?”
Matcha’s face flushed a bright red as she said, “Alright, I will!”
At that moment, there was suddenly a beep, and there was another invite ——
“Beep!”
[System Notification]: Player 【Ou Yang Nuo Yan】 has requested to be your friend, do you accept?
……
“Ou Yang Nuo Yan?” I hesitated for a second, then accepted. It was a Lv 51 female Archer.
“Beep”, there was another message. Ou Yang Nuo Yan had already sent a message saying, “Hello, Xiao Yao Zi Zai, I am Ou Yang Nuo Yan. I’m one of the officials from [Destiny]’s Chinese sector. It’s like this: tomorrow I will be coming to Hangzhou from Beijing. Please tell me your address, so I can come over… to discuss something with you……”
“Official?” I was puzzled and said, “Beautiful Ou Yang, what’s the actual reason you’re looking for me?”
“About that……” Ou Yang Nuo Yan’s face appeared to be a 20 year old beautiful miss. She seemed a bit hesitant as she pursed her lips and said, “It’s hard to explain right now. Either way… Tomorrow morning at around 11:30am, I will arrive at Hangzhou. Where are you? Let’s schedule a place to meet. Don’t worry, I don’t have any ill intentions…”
I couldn’t help but smile, “Of course I’m not worried. You’re a little girl, what could you possibly do to me? Alright, I’m currently in Hangzhou’s Liu Hua University. Let’s schedule a place to meet; how about the Dio Cafe outside of the university’s east gate?”
“Ok, I’ve written it down. Then… we’ll meet tomorrow? My cell phone number is 139*******, how about yours?”
After I also gave her my cell phone number, she went offline. It looked like she really was an official. She didn’t say much else to me, as though she was afraid that she would give away some of some secrets of the game.
……
At around 1am., I brought my Flaming Tiger God to Firestone Canyon for a walk. My main goal wasn’t to grind levels, but to practice my skills. Seeing as I was the first player to reach Lv 70, bringing up my skills to Lv 8 was an absolute must. The higher the skill’s level was, the more distinct its effects were. This was especially true for skills like [Seven Star Fragment Slash] or [Great Realm of Desolation], which require higher skill levels to increase their attack powers.
