Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Golden Light Avenue!
Xu You still clearly remembered that the lowest grade red and blue bottles he had seen in Little Pool Village were 50 copper coins a bottle. That was a good item that could be used at level 1. However, for players at that time, 50 copper coins a bottle was extremely expensive. Later, the increasingly high grade wartime supplies seemed to have inherited this feature-expensive!

Just look at the blue bottles of Level 15 blood that Xu You can use now. If you buy a bottle from an ordinary pharmaceutical dealer, a Level 15 blood bottle would cost 5 silver coins per bottle. The same applies to beginner magic potions.

Is that five silver coins expensive? You, you’re so expensive, Xu You saved money all the way, Right now, there were only 20 silver coins in the bag. The orc warriors and Qing Wu were about the same. Because the three of them had spent a lot of money on learning skills just now, they couldn’t save any money no matter how much they saved. This was also the reason why Xu You was worried and couldn’t find a way to gather 20 gold coins to learn the halo skills from Dick.

But is 5 silver worth? Yes, it’s worth it. A bottle of Basic HP Potion can recover a full 250 HP. One must know that Xu You’s HP limit is just 250 points. He only needs one bottle to replenish it. However, Xu You has excellent quality endurance equipment. In other words, an ordinary Level 15 player doesn’t have 250 HP. A Level 15 blood bottle is definitely enough for them to recover a life. How can it not be worth it?

Perhaps this situation would change. After Level 15, players would be able to charge into Level 20 instance dungeons. At that time, green clothes would quickly spread and players’ stats would also increase significantly. Level 15 blood bottles were not that important, but they were just not that important. Playing instance dungeons and PKs, the corresponding level of blood bottles and blue bottles were indispensable.

Therefore, wartime supplies such as blood bottles and blue bottles were something players often bought. The unit price of 5 silver coins per bottle was indeed a little expensive for most players. However, the blood bottles and blue bottles sold by the quartermaster were much cheaper. The unit price was only 3 silver coins, which was 2 silver coins less than the ones sold outside. That was why Xu You sighed.

“Buy more blood bottles and blue bottles for yourself. You don’t want to encounter any more empty blue bottles. You can only kill monsters by leveling up, right?” Xu You said to Qingwu and the orc warriors.

“But I’m running out of money!” Qingwu flipped through his bag and said with a bitter face.

“That’s right. Fortunately, the supplies here are cheaper. Otherwise, we won’t be able to buy many bottles.” The unyielding warrior bought a few bottles of supplies. Among the three of them, Xu You was the one who saved the most money. Perhaps this was because the orc warrior was the housekeeper.

“It’s good to buy some. We’re going to hit the East China Sea Cave. At that time, we might be able to get some good stuff. If we sell it, we’ll be able to earn money.” Xu You could only place his hopes of making money in the East China Sea Cave. If he was lucky, he would be able to sell a few pieces of untied equipment or side business blueprints.

Just as Xu You was worried about making money, Qingwu suddenly came up with an idea.

“Brother Wuyou, why don’t we take these blood bottles and sell them? The blood bottles sold outside are so expensive. We should be able to earn some money if we sell them cheaper, right?” Qingwu looked thoughtfully at the beginner life potion he had just bought.

“Huh? Sell it?” Xu You was stunned for a moment, then he asked doubtfully, “Could it be that these blood bottles are not bound after they are bought?”

As he spoke, Xu You immediately opened the item bar and took out the supplies he had just bought. Indeed, they weren’t tied up. Xu You’s entire body trembled because he saw a path of sunshine covered in gold coins right in front of him.

“Qing Wu, you’re really great. You’re really my lucky star!” Xu You was excited. Selling was originally one of the most common ways to make money in the game. How could he forget? It shouldn’t be ah, shouldn’t be ah, luckily, Qing Wu reminded him!

Qing Wu blushed when she received Xu You’s praise. She didn’t say anything. She just looked at Xu You happily. If she could help Xu You, she would be very happy. The unyielding warrior was still looking at the mount that he wanted to buy the most. His face was filled with longing, ignoring Qing Wu’s conversation with Xu You.

“Buqu, Qingwu, give me all the gold coins!” Xu You quickly came up with a plan.

“Ah? Oh!” The orc warriors were a little confused, but they didn’t think too much about it. Soon, they gave Xu You nearly 40 silver coins, and so did Qingwu.

After the transaction was over, Xu You had 85 silver coins on him. Without any hesitation, he spent all of them at the quartermaster and exchanged for 28 bottles of blood.

“Let’s go to the System Auction House.” Xu You slowly suppressed the excitement in his heart. Now, he wanted to go test the water and see how the supply market was doing. Whether he could make a big profit or not depended on this trip.

System Auction House, It was a platform that allowed players to trade freely. A small system connected all the auction houses in the main cities of China. They sold items in any system auction house. Other auction houses could see that the system auction houses were quite popular even though the auction houses organized by players themselves had not been established yet.

There are two ways of buying and selling this platform. One is through bidding. As long as the seller sets a starting price for the item that can be traded, and then sets a time limit for bidding, other players can bid for the item. Of course, the rules are for the highest bidder to obtain the item.

The other is the one-sided price method. The seller can set a one-sided price so that the player he loves can buy your item immediately without waiting for the buyer to bid slowly. This way, he can get money quickly and save a lot of time.

The advantages and disadvantages of both methods depended on what the seller was selling. Generally speaking, precious equipment, materials, and so on were better sold through competitive bidding, while ordinary supplies, materials, and so on were sold at a single price. However, if the seller was waiting for money to save his life, regardless of what he was selling, a single price was the best choice.

From the looks of it, the System Auction House was very convenient and useful, but it had one of the biggest drawbacks. It had to charge a certain percentage of the final transaction price of the item, and the buyer and seller would pay for it together. This setting made many players extremely unhappy, so setting up a stall to peddle the item became another way of trading.

However, there are disadvantages. The biggest advantage of the system auction is that you can choose to buy and sell anonymously. Whether it’s the seller or the buyer, you can choose to trade anonymously. This way, you won’t be afraid of being discovered by others. This is exactly what Xu You likes.

No matter what, Xu You and the others were all on the list. They couldn’t be too high-profile. The important thing was that the items he was about to sell would disrupt the order of the entire supply market. To put it bluntly, it was a malicious underpricing competition, because the supplies in his hands were intended to sell for only four silver coins a bottle! If they sell well, they will continuously resell, and then the entire game will shake. They have to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and keep a low profile.

…

Apothecary Huang was an excellent side player, He wasn’t very interested in fighting, He felt that the game “New World” was no longer the domain of combat players, The sideline players were also the backbone of the game. He had learned through certain channels that if the sideline could reach the highest level, it could produce something that was extremely powerful or even a bug. The value of these things could not be calculated in gold coins. Hence, Apothecary Huang decided to work hard on the sideline.

The two sidelines he chose were alchemy and herb harvesting. Alchemy was the sideline for pharmaceuticals. The sideline for herb harvesting combined with the three sidelines was the most perfect. After constant efforts, his two sidelines had already been upgraded to the Intermediate level.

Sidelines also have levels, It was divided into six grades: beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster, and legendary. All players in the first three grades could reach it through long-term training, while the rest had to complete various hidden sideline missions or obtain various rare sideline blueprints before they could continue to level up. Therefore, not every sideline player could reach the last three grades.

Apothecary Huang spent half a day picking herbs today, and another half an hour refining to make 30 bottles of Basic Life Potions. He had to admire how difficult it was to practice the sideline of the game “New World”.

But his hard work paid off, He had already upgraded both sidelines to Intermediate two days ago. Now, he could produce LV15 combat supplies. Moreover, he had some fortuitous encounters and his sideline experience had greatly increased. Therefore, he was extremely confident that his sideline was definitely at the top of the China region. Even the sideline organizations of some large Guilds would not be much higher than him.

Apothecary Huang hung 30 bottles of Basic Life Potion on the System Auction House. After setting a price of 4 silver coins and 95 copper coins, he waited at the side. He knew that someone would soon buy his potion. Although this was the time when there were fewest players, there were many players in Huaxia District. There would not be a small number of players who practiced all night. In the past few nights of experience, all of his potions would be bought in a minute.

But a minute had passed, and Apothecary Huang hadn’t heard any notifications from the system …

“Eh?! What’s going on?” Apothecary Huang was puzzled. This had not happened before. He opened the auction house and searched for the classification of potions. Then, he understood why his potions could not be sold. It turned out that there was someone selling the beginner life potions cheaply.

Three bottles of 4 silver HP were listed at the forefront of the auction house’s replenishment category. The system showed that 20 seconds ago, the sellers were all anonymous and should have been sold by the same player. It seemed that a few bottles had already been sold. Now, there were three bottles left. Apothecary Huang quickly browsed through the information on these “sale” blood bottles and came to an accurate conclusion.

“There are some anxious players, why bother?” Apothecary Huang smiled contemptuously. He had already seen many sideline players who were in a hurry to use their money. In order to quickly sell their potions, he had set the price at a lower price. He did not approve of buying and selling them at a loss.

Because as long as the price of these battle supplies is set lower than the price NPC sells, There was no need to worry about buying them. There weren’t many alchemists who could make LV15 supplies right now. Moreover, without the support of the large collection team of the Great Guild, they wouldn’t be able to produce them in large quantities. Besides, how could the Great Guild sell them? Therefore, there was a shortage of supplies. There was no need for them to do business at a loss for a short period of time.

“What a stupid player.” Apothecary Huang shook his head.

Very quickly, the remaining three bottles of 4 Silver Primordial Life Potions were also bought. The lowest-priced Level 15 blood bottle in the auction house was the 4 Silver 95 Copper Primordial Life Potion he was selling. Apothecary Huang was relieved and waited for the potion he was selling to be sold.

However, another minute passed, and he still didn’t hear the system prompt …

“What’s going on? There’s still someone who sells beginner life potions?” Apothecary Huang frowned and quickly opened the System Auction House. Sure enough, another five bottles of Basic Life Potion that cost four silver coins appeared on the auction house’s information bar.

Within five seconds, these five bottles of blood were bought. Apothecary Huang just happened to see this scene, but before he could say anything, another five bottles of beginner life potions were placed in the auction house. This time, it was even faster. Don’t snatch them away within three seconds …

“This, what’s going on?” Apothecary Huang was stunned.

…

In a remote system auction house in Sunrise City, Xu You was shouting in the team channel, “We’re going to be rich now! We’re going to be rich!”

“Yeah! Haha, we’re going to be rich!” When the orc warriors saw what had happened in the auction house, they knew that they had obtained a huge treasure trove.

“Let’s go out and split the money! Then we plan to make a profit before dawn!” Xu You said.

Thus, the three of them quickly left the empty auction house and returned to the quartermaster in City of Sunrise. Xu You first retrieved the money he had just earned from the nearby mailbox. The items he obtained from the auction house, whether it was items from the auction house or items from the sale, would be sent back from the mailbox.

After Xu You ordered some money, She quickly gave it to Qing Wu and the unyielding warrior, and then said solemnly, “You all saw what happened just now, right? I believe you all know what to do. Now that we are going to split up and sell, remember to change the colored equipment on us before going to the auction house. Qing Wu still needs to put on the veil and keep a low profile so that no one will notice you!”

After saying that, Xu You looked at the sky and continued, “Two hours! We’ll sell it for two hours. When dawn comes, we’ll go offline and rest. Is that alright?”

“No problem!”

As a result, some players at the entrance of the forbidden area saw the three experts on the Reputation Rankings continuously entering and leaving the forbidden area. Some smart players guessed something, but what did this have to do with them?

However, it was still beneficial to greet the experts. Just when a few players wanted to do this, a loud noise came from a large auction house not far away. Then, a player hurriedly ran out and shouted to the players on the streets, “Many Level 15 battle supplies that only cost 4 silver coins are sold at the auction house. Everyone, come and rob them!”

When the nearby players heard this, they all started to move. Four silver coins was so cheap? Then hurry up and rob him! Very quickly, the players who heard the news all ran to the system auction house, and those experts on the Reputation Rankings? Damn, no matter what they do, can they give themselves any benefits?

The tipster player continued to “send messages” elsewhere, cursing in his heart, “XXX, I’ll let you steal it, I can’t get it, you guys can’t even think of it, hmph!”

Human nature is actually very simple and complex.
