Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Delorca
After discovering that there was no “city manager” protecting his personal and property safety in the black market, Xu You picked up his tail and slowly walked towards the location of the “House of Materials”.

The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, but no one paid attention to Xu You, this lowly little fellow. Xu You searched for a while and found the “Home of Materials”. It was a slightly bigger red brick house with bright lights.

After entering the room, he discovered that there was only one person here. He was a bald troll. It should be Charlie, the shopkeeper here. Xu You did not say anything and directly looked at the goods displayed in the shop.

Very quickly, Xu You realized that this place was truly called the “House of Materials”. There were all kinds of materials, including forging, alchemy, engineering, tailoring, and so on. Moreover, the materials here were all blue quality and above. This gave Xu You a glimmer of hope.

With hope, Xu You stopped reading slowly. Because there were more ingredients here than Aunt Jenny, it would take a lot of time to finish reading everything in one go, so it would be wise to directly ask the shopkeeper Charlie, “Hello, Charlie, do you have any ingredients like magic cores here?”

Charlie looked up at Xu You. He was surprised to discover that Xu You’s level was only Level 17. However, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned around and took out a crystal-like object from a box behind him. It was covered in purple light.

Charlie threw the item on the cabinet in front of Xu You. Xu You picked it up and looked at it. He was delighted to discover that it was really the core of magic. It was a purple-quality material. However, he was a little nervous. This was the black market, so it shouldn’t be cheap. He carefully asked the price but didn’t disappoint him, “400 gold coins a piece!”

“So expensive?” Xu You smiled bitterly. Actually, he was already mentally prepared. Although the auction house outside did not have any magic cores to sell, as long as someone took them out, the price would not be less than 300 gold coins. It seemed reasonable to sell 400 coins on the black market.

However, making a cunning treasure required five magic cores. It was impossible to buy all of them. Thinking of this, Xu You unwillingly returned the magic core to Charlie. Charlie did not say anything. He put the items away and lowered his head to continue doing his own things.

Xu You walked out of the House of Materials with some disappointment. However, he didn’t come here solely for the Magic Core. Since he was mentally prepared for the price of the Magic Core, he knew that he might not be able to buy the Magic Core.

Apart from the magic core, He still had two more ingredients to look for, Even gold ingots and magic stones couldn’t be harvested because the players weren’t high enough. However, just because the players weren’t high enough, it didn’t mean that the NPCs didn’t have them. However, the NPCs that sold the related materials in the main city weren’t high enough, so they didn’t know if they could be sold, so the black market became Xu You’s last hope.

There were quite a few shops in the black market that bought ores and ore-associated materials, Xu You randomly found a few stores, but unfortunately, the materials sold in those stores were all blue quality and above. Gold ingots and magic stones were only green materials, so none of them could be sold. When Xu You asked the shopkeepers of those stores, he was despised and said that they would not sell such low-quality materials.

Hence, Xu You wandered around the underground black market again. This time, he didn’t go into the shops in the house much. The things sold in these shops were indeed rare. Not many of them were seen or heard by Xu You. Based on his level, those materials were still very far away from him.

Therefore, Xu You wanted to find those NPCs that set up stalls on the streets. The things they sold shouldn’t be that rare, and they shouldn’t be too expensive. After all, the stalls didn’t have to pay rent and utilities. It was normal for them to be cheaper.

In the end, Xu You finally found those NPCs. It turned out that they were all gathered in a small square in a corner of the underground city. No wonder Xu You couldn’t find these people at first.

This small square was much livelier. There were many NPCs selling things, and they were all shouting loudly. There were also many NPCs buying things. They were shuttling between stalls. Xu You felt a little excited when he saw this scene. This was the black market he was familiar with.

In the previous games, it wasn’t that Xu You hadn’t been to the black market, but those black markets were similar to the square in front of him. There were stalls everywhere, and there were a sea of people. They were similar to a free trade market, and there weren’t many restrictions on entering the black market.

And this underground black market of the New World, Evidently, this wasn’t the case. The way to enter this place was very covert, and without certain conditions, it was impossible to enter this place. It seemed that even after arriving, not many players would know about this place, because if Xu You hadn’t heard about this black market from Dick, he wouldn’t have been able to find this place.

“The tailoring materials are on sale. Thorn cloth is worth 10 gold coins, Silk Sheltercloth is worth 70 silver coins …”

“Does anyone want a Level 70 Blue Hand Axe? It only costs 88 gold coins. Please don’t bargain!”

…

The NPC’s cries were endless. Xu You was too lazy to listen. He slowly strolled around the stalls one by one. In any case, there was still plenty of time. As long as he returned before 0:00 a.m., he still had more than an hour left. He had plenty of time.

As Xu You strolled around the stall, he suddenly noticed a dwarf NPC selling ores. He was selling ordinary white ores such as iron ores and copper ores.

Hence, Xu You’s footsteps stopped in front of the dwarf’s stall. However, when he saw it, he discovered that the ore the dwarf was selling was a bit lower. All of them were white-grade stones. Forget about the gold ore. Xu You shook his head and sighed at his bad luck tonight.

However, the black market was the black market. Everything was there. In the end, the gold ore was found by Xu You. It was on a stall set up by a young elf named Droca. Moreover, there were also magic stones associated with the iron ore here. This ruined Xu You Le. He quickly asked Droca, “How much do you sell this gold ore and magic stones?”

Most of the NPCs that Xu You had encountered earlier couldn’t be seen, and none of them were below Level 60. However, the elf Droca in front of him was only Level 32. Perhaps because of this, Droca’s attitude was much better than those shop owners in front of him. He smiled and replied, “Gold ore 2 gold coins, Magic Stone 10 gold coins, 20 gold coins!”

“Mm … what?” Xu You pondered for a moment before he suddenly reacted. Gold ore 2 gold coins per group? Not one? Did he hear correctly? The magic stone was unexpectedly cheap.

When Droca saw Xu You’s expression, she thought that Xu You thought it was expensive and explained, “This is already a very fair price. You know, these materials won’t make much money.”

Xu You was stunned.

However, he quickly understood that this black market only allowed players above Level 30 to enter. That should be the same for NPCs, In other words, materials like gold ores, magic stones, and the like were the lowest grade goods here. Furthermore, compared to players, it was much easier for NPCs to obtain these materials. Therefore, it was normal for Droca to think that these materials were not worth much. However, the facts also proved that there weren’t many people selling these “low grade” materials like gold ores and magic stones here.

Xu You was excited when he thought of this. NPC felt that it wasn’t worth much, but to players, these were all extremely precious materials. Then, when players were around Level 30 and needed a large amount of these materials, could he come here to find some cheap treasures and sell them at a higher price? The more Xu You thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.

However, this was not the right time. Since no one wanted it now, they had to obediently gather all the ingredients for the Cunning Treasure!

“Then can I buy more cheaper?” Xu You officially assumed the role of a merchant.

“This price is already very cheap.” Droca said awkwardly.

“What if I want 100 sets of gold ores and 100 magic stones?” Xu You gave him the number he wanted, which left Droca stunned.

“You … you really want so much?” Droca didn’t really believe Xu You’s words. After all, Xu You was only Level 17. He still didn’t need these materials. As for how Xu You got in, he didn’t have the time to care about it.

Xu You knew that he didn’t show enough money. Droca didn’t believe him, so he applied to Droca for a deal and put 300 gold coins in the transaction column. Don’t worry, as long as Xu You hadn’t confirmed the deal, the money wouldn’t be given to Droca.

Droca knew that Xu You was not joking when he saw 300 gold coins. Droca hurriedly apologized to Xu You to avoid offending the patron. After pondering for a while, he gave Xu You a very satisfactory price: “100 sets of gold ores count as 180 gold coins. Magic stones count as 40 gold coins. This is the lowest price.”

“Alright, deal!” Xu You immediately decided.

“Then please wait a moment. I’ll have someone deliver the goods. You know, there won’t be so many things here.” Droca had an apologetic expression on her face.

“It doesn’t matter, but can you help me refine all the gold ores into gold ingots?”

“Of course, that’s just a simple matter. However, Brother Whiteboard, wait for a while longer. I will let my people smelt it at the fastest speed possible.”

“No problem.” Xu You wasn’t in a hurry, but after hearing Droca’s first few words, his heart stirred and he started chatting with Droca “casually”.

Very quickly, Xu You learned that the Level 32 Elf in front of him was a merchant specializing in selling low-and middle-grade materials. He had a large-scale collection team under him. This news was extremely good for Xu You.

“Brother Droca, I wonder if I have the honor to make friends with you? I’ll find you if I want to buy some low-grade materials in the future. How about it?” Xu You asked with a smile.

“Of course, Brother Whiteboard, you are already my friend!” Droca was delighted to hear that. He was just a small businessman and did a small business. It was definitely a good thing to be able to hand over a wealthy man like Xu You.

“That’s really great.” Xu You smiled brightly. Although he couldn’t be considered rich, he was definitely a big customer for Droca. He was rich, so Droca wouldn’t be so stupid as to turn a blind eye to him.

It didn’t take long for the people of Droca to bring everything Xu You wanted. Xu You paid straightforwardly, a total of 220 gold coins. Gold ores accounted for the majority of the money, but gold ores were rare ores. Magic stones were only diamonds associated with ordinary ores and iron ores. The difference in value between the two could be imagined.

Of course, Xu You couldn’t store so many materials. However, there was a warehouse service in the black market, so Xu You threw all of these materials into the warehouse. Fortunately, each player system distributed 200-square-capacity warehouses without spending money. Otherwise, Xu You wouldn’t even know where to put so many things.

Finally, after obtaining Droca’s contact information, Xu You left the black market. However, he did not return by the way he came back. Instead, he used the black market’s one-way teleportation array to send him back to Recovery City. Then, he continued to use the teleportation array to return to City of Sunrise.

Droca had told him this method.
