TL: FIXED! Sorry, bad copy/pasting! Goal for toady: 3 Zhan Long – 1 BTTH (1 Zhan Long down!)
I knew that Feng Han is determined to buy this shield because anyone knows that whoever has the shield can create a top-class tank and have a much easier time against a level 50+ Gold-tier boss. In a boss fight, strong monks and knights are irreplaceable. So whoever can create a strong meat shield will have a greater chance at getting the Guild Creation Tablet!
To be able to create the first guild, the guild won’t possibly be weak. With a wave and a shout the top-class players of Ba Huang City would rush to join them. Feng Han knows this very clearly in his heart.
……
“Xiao Yao Zi Zai, wait a few minutes for me.” Feng Han shoots a smile at me, “I’m going to go and collect the gold coins. As you know 1000 gold isn’t a small number. Wait a few minutes for me please…”
I nod, “Mm, no problem.”
Before long, a total of 7 players came and traded with Feng Han. After finishing the trades, Feng Han turns around and sends me a trade request. I accept and open the trading window. He put in 1000 gold coins, and I put the Shield of the Broken Army in. Both of us confirm the trade and it’s a done deal!
Pop!
A heavy bag of coins lands in my hand, 1000 gold coins!
I couldn’t help but be excited and I immediately put the 1000 gold coins in the online trading center. With a ratio of 1:10 I can earn a good 10 thousand Yuan (~$1600). I’ll just sell all the gold in one go. Currently most guilds are collecting high-level potions, equipment, skill books, etc. and the amount of money they spend on those things is unaccountable. So it is not rare for players to buy 1000 gold in one go.
“Okay, thanks…”
After receiving the shield, Feng Han smiles at me and says, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, you are a pretty interesting person. Would you like to join [Vanguard]?”
I shake my head, “Thanks for the offer, but I prefer going solo.”
“That’s alright; I’ll see you soon then!”
Feng Han spins around and gives the shield to the monk called “Fushen Moren”. He couldn’t contain his excitement as he equipped the shield and says, “Thank you boss!”
“We’re family! Just keep on grinding while we prepare to attack a level 50+ boss. You can repay me with hard work!”
“Understood!”
……
Tick!
A message comes from Qing Qian, “Xiao Yao, you sold off the Shield of the Broken Army?”
“Mm, Feng Han bought it. Your information network is quite effective…”
“We have scouts reporting in.” Qing Qing opens up a call and laughs, “Yan Zhao saw that the shield was sold to [Vanguard] and he’s hitting his leg in anger. He says that you should have contacted [Prague] first and given priority to [Prague].”
I purse my lips and ask, “He really said that? He kicked you out of [Prague] because of me, and then later on he killed me. Doing all those things, does he really think I would give priority to [Prague]? Qing Qian, you can tell Yan Zhao clearly, that I swear, sooner or later, I will defeat him personally!”
“Eh, Xiao Yao, are you sure about that?”
“Mm, yep.”
“That’s fine, but why?”
“Because Yan Zhao caused trouble for you and you’re my friend. So I gotta return the favor.”
“But I really don’t want you and Yan Zhao to fight…”
“Don’t worry, I only want to win in a fight and not to eliminate [Prague]…And I only have myself, it would be impossible for me to go against a huge guild like [Prague].”
“Okay, then Xiao Yao, keep on level grinding, I…”
In the chat box Qing Qian’s face suddenly goes red, “I will…wait for you…”
I smile, “Wait for me for what?”
Qing Qian bites down on her lips and seemingly made a huge decision and says, “I’ll wait until you get stronger and take me away from [Prague]…”
I go silent for a few seconds and smile, “Mm, I’ll try my best!”
……
I sold a few other items and got rid of the Bronze and Green equipment and earned a few more gold coins. I suddenly feel like a skilled player because of the high-leveled equipment I was selling? Of course it’s related to my 30+ charm; the higher the charm, the better my luck is.
I kept the stall going until 10 o’clock at night and didn’t hear anything from Wan Er. Since I have nothing more to do, I open my friend’s list and see Cang Tong’s face. I click on it and I find out she’s already level 41, so I send a message, “Wan Er, have you gone insane with level grinding? Don’t you want to have dinner?”
Wan Er replies after a few seconds, “I’m killing a boss with Cheng Yue. Talk to me in 10 minutes!”
“Okay…”
