Entering the game in haste, I rushed to the appraiser's place where Appraiser and Qingzhu had obtained the Immortal Bat Dragon Cloud Sword after fighting in the bat cave. It is a level thirty weapon, and I am eagerly looking forward to its attributes.
"Stone City is doing well, another Immortal weapon has been found, you are so lucky."
The appraiser tutted as he looked over my Immortal Bat Dragon Cloud Sword.
"Would you like to appraise it? The appraisal fee for the Bat Dragon Cloud Sword is eight thousand gold coins."
"What? The appraisal fee for my divine artifact, the Diamond Giant Shield, was only three thousand gold coins. Why is this Immortal weapon so expensive?"
I was shocked by the appraiser's asking price. Did this old man think I was an easy target, opening his lion's mouth and asking for such a high price?
"I am only giving you a discount because you are a regular customer. If it were someone else, it would cost at least ten thousand gold coins. This is a high-level Immortal weapon, after all."
Damn!
The appraiser seemed to think he was in the right as he spoke.
However, I was happy to hear that my Bat Dragon Cloud Sword was a high-level Immortal weapon.
"Do you know that the price of goods has gone up? My appraisal fees have to increase accordingly. If you were to appraise a divine artifact now, even the lowest-level one would cost twenty thousand gold coins, and the price will continue to rise in the future."
"…" I was speechless. This is too much.
The appraiser looked at me askance, his disdain clear: how could I expect to make a fortune without even knowing the market?
Speaking of which, prices are indeed rising. The system has opened a business for exchanging game coins with real money today, and I almost forgot about it. I opened the wealth leaderboard to take a look.
Damn! There are too many rich people, and the wealth leaderboard has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Wealth Ranking:
First place, QianXing TianXia, gold coins: 38.42 million.
Second place, FengYun MoLong, gold coins: 37.56 million.
Third place, Hao Tian, gold coins: 35.12 million.
Fourth place, TianHuo DaoYin, gold coins: 34.41 million.
Fifth place, WoAi JinBi, gold coins: 33.89 million.
Sixth place, HeiLong WuTian, gold coins: 29.78 million.
Seventh place, SanYe YangGuang, gold coins: 25.74 million.
Eighth place, ShiShen # WuChen, gold coins: 24.71 million.
Ninth place, JinBao DianQi, gold coins: 20.42 million.
Tenth place, Katelong, gold coins: 18.45 million.
With over 30 million gold coins, it would require over three million yuan to exchange (10 gold coins = 1 yuan). No wonder the old wine says that these wealthy people don't consider millions of yuan as money. I finally understand.
No wonder the appraiser said the market is booming. The impact is tremendous.
However, in the gold coin-centered "King of Glory," those wealthy players who want to show off their power and establish factions have the best shortcut to exchange money, buy advanced equipment, and make the competition in the game more intense.
Of course, for those players without money, there is not only no impact, but also a glimmer of hope. As long as they can obtain a high-quality equipment and complete a hidden task, making money is easy because there are plenty of gold coins in "King of Glory."
"Well, let's appraise it."
Since the market is like this and the industry system is monopolized, what else can we do?
I can't help but feel emotional. Dragon Fly Group makes money too easily.
Fortunately, I've received a lot of gold coin rewards during this period, or else it wouldn't be enough for appraisal fees.
Bat Dragon Cloud Sword: Advanced fairy weapon. Requirements: Level 30, Agility 30, one-handed weapon. It is a fairy weapon made from Bat Dragon's inner alchemy and precious Cloud Iron Stone, with tremendous power.
Attack: 250, Attack Speed +2, Movement Speed +2. Additional attributes: Agility +50, Wind Damage +50, Poison Damage +60, Hit Rate +50%, Crit Rate +30%, Attack +10%.
Skills: Bloodsucking (passive skill, converts 10% of damage into health), Bat Cloud Body (active skill, consumes 50% of magic, increases speed by 50%).
Wow!
Truly, this is a high-level immortal weapon. Looking at its attributes, it's almost close to being a divine weapon.
Aside from its two abnormal skills, its attack is even higher than Cabaro's Board Axe, which is a dual-handed weapon. I remember always feeling frustrated about my low attack in the past, but now it has completely changed.
"Hehe…"
I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and I casually forged the only two Tianmeng gems I had, increasing my attack by another twenty.
I can't help but admire the Bat Dragon Cloud Sword, flipping it over and over again. Divine weapons are hard to come by, and this high-level immortal weapon of mine is probably the best weapon available at the moment.
After depositing the Bat Dragon Cloud Sword in the item storage, organizing my backpack, and stocking up on provisions at the pharmacy, I set out to embark on my leveling journey.
My goal is to reach level thirty and replace my weapons and equipment with those of the same level.
Looking at the pet egg of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" lying in my backpack, it will take thirty years to hatch. The system is really outrageous, setting up such a feature.
I'm frustrated because by the time it hatches, I'll already be an old man, and it will be something I can only admire, but not use. It's really depressing.
I open the map of Dongfang Xing and look for a suitable place for me to level up. Finally, I choose a stone forest north of Tianlong City, where there are mainly level thirty bronze men and level thirty-two stone monsters.
I'm frustrated because my poor knight profession doesn't have an area of effect skill. I can only choose to fight monsters with lower numbers. If I were a mage, I would definitely go to the Tianxing Valley south of Tianlong City, where there are groups of level thirty Poison Red Peaks.
Riding on my poor horse, which has a speed increase of only three, even though my speed is almost the same as the Flame Charger, which has a speed increase of ten sold by the system. Knights love their horses, and a good horse is essential for a knight to show off. This ordinary horse is really cheap.
I must find a good horse when I have the time.
"Ding-dong, Stone City, player Qingzhu has a secret message for you. Will you accept the call?"
Halfway through the journey, the system prompted me with a message from Qingzhu. I accepted the call.
"Stone, it's Qingzhu."
"Okay."
"What are you doing, Stone? Did you complete yesterday's mission?"
"Yes, I finished it. I'm planning to level up. Want to come with me?"
Teaming up with Qingzhu not only provides a 10% increase in attack and defense, but also a 10% increase in experience. With such advantageous conditions, we should definitely take advantage of them.
"Sure, I was just thinking about teaming up with you."
Qingzhu's words were filled with a smile.
"Where are you?"
"I'm at Tianlong City Square."
"Okay, wait for me. I'll come pick you up."
Although I had already run halfway, I didn't mind the inconvenience at all when I thought about leveling up with a beautiful girl. I used the "return scroll" to go back to Tianlong City Square.
"Ding-dong, Stone City and Qingzhu have successfully teamed up, with a 10% increase in experience, attack, and defense."
Qingzhu and I teamed up successfully. I remembered the system prompt that our intimacy level had reached 95. Thinking about this intimacy level, Qingzhu blushed slightly and felt a bit shy.
But we were just good friends, there was no intimacy between us. Qingzhu thought to herself that the system was too cheesy.
"Stone, where are we going to level up?"
"Follow me, we'll level up quickly."
"Okay."
Unfortunately, Qingzhu was only level 19 and couldn't ride a horse, so we had to walk to the Stone Forest.
It was a happy journey with Qingzhu's beautiful company and the scenery along the way was truly delightful.
Players we encountered along the way saw the gentle and beautiful Qingzhu and showed admiration. Many male players saw Qingzhu smiling and speaking to me with her white jade hands constantly releasing recovery series magic on me, which made them envy us greatly. It also made me feel quite pleased.
