I tried every possible way to break through the gate of the elves and gain entry, but to no avail, despite my careful approach, forceful impact, and attacks on the gate. The enormous energy on the gate rebounded me back to the hall. This is hardly surprising, as even experts like the Dark Magician Crow King, require the use of a pet egg from a divine beast to open the gate of the elves. What chance does a foolish young man like me have?
Oh well, I might as well return to the city and take a stroll, to avoid feeling upset. It seems that only by finding the magnificent spring water of the legendary elf clan, can I have any chance.
Back in Tianlong City, I took a casual stroll and found that the money exchange system had been activated, which immediately caused the market to become active. Wealthy people in real life have already begun exchanging money and buying and selling items in the game. The prosperity of the game market is no less impressive than that of the real market. "Grandpa Appraiser, I want to appraise some equipment." More and more players are now coming to appraise their equipment. The appraiser has hired three servants to help him appraise, while he himself enjoys some leisure time.
"Oh, it's from Stone City. What good things do you have this time? Show them to me." Goodness, such a loud voice! Doesn't he know that loose lips sink ships? If other players find out about my situation, it won't be good. I quickly turned around and looked out, but fortunately, no one was paying attention to me. I looked and listened carefully, but couldn't see what other players were doing. Impressive, "King of Glory" has done a great job in protecting the privacy of players. Other players have no idea what I am doing.
"I have two pieces of equipment that need to be appraised." I already know the appraiser's true nature – he is a black-hearted coin-eating machine. There is no friendship or room for negotiation with him. I simply tossed the fairy weapon "Nanmu Eagle Staff" and the golden equipment "Black Iron Wolf Tooth Club" to him.
"Stone City, not bad. This is another fairy weapon. So far, I have only appraised less than forty fairy weapons, and you are the only player who has brought me two, and they are both advanced fairy weapons."
The appraiser looked at the two weapons I tossed to him, shaking his head and speaking to me.
"Moreover, you possess a divine weapon, Stone City, which is truly remarkable."
Alas! Even the greedy appraiser knows how to praise people. However, upon hearing this number, I was surprised. Gold-level equipment is not easy to come by. If it weren't for my high luck, it wouldn't have been so easy.
"The appraisal fee for the Nanmu Eagle Staff is 5,000 gold coins, and the Black Iron Wolf Fang Rod requires 3,000 gold coins."
Although the appraiser complimented me, his attitude towards gold coins was meticulous.
Looking at the only 8,831 gold coins in my pocket, I couldn't help but feel distressed. Oh no, I'm going to suffer from poverty again.
It's really frustrating. The more top-tier equipment I have, the faster I become bankrupt. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation in my gaming experience. If this continues, I will be afraid of top-tier equipment. I can't even afford to appraise them!
"Here you go."
I cried inwardly at the thought of my hard-earned money being exploited. If possible, I would make this greedy appraiser pay for his misdeeds.
Looking at the completed weapon attributes, I grinned from ear to ear. I almost wanted to kiss the appraiser. I am a villain, I feel remorseful when I lose something and happy when I gain something.
Let's take a look at the attributes of the two weapons:
Nanmu Eagle Staff: Advanced immortal weapon, one-handed weapon, requires a level 20 mage. It is an exquisite top-tier weapon crafted from Nanmu Tree, which has been refined for a thousand years. It also carries the soul of the Nanmu Tree Demon King.
Attack: 150, magic recovery speed increased by 10, attack speed increased by 2. Additional attributes: meditation increased by 50, life recovery speed increased by 5, attack deals 50 additional earth damage. Level 20 and 30 magic skills are increased by 1, and there is a 5% chance to trigger the intermediate skill, Great Fury.
Skills: Rock Wall Enhancement – active skill, summons earth elemental to protect oneself, increases defense by 10%.
Summon Nanmu Tree Demon King – active skill, can summon a level 25 Nanmu Tree Demon King, which helps the summoner in battle and disappears automatically after ten minutes. Can only be used once a day.
This powerful immortal weapon is not much worse than my Bat Dragon Cloud Sword. I wonder how much it can be sold for. My eyes are filled with the shape of gold coins.
Of course, I shall not comply with QingZhu's command to apologize to those twin beauties who happen to be sorceresses. I have not committed any wrong, therefore there is no need to apologize. Moreover, even if I had erred, mistakes are mistakes and it is unnecessary to apologize to those twin beauties who have always looked down upon me.
It is true that I love beautiful women, and there is nothing wrong with appreciating their beauty. However, I shall not compromise my dignity as a man just to please them, nor shall I stoop so low as to flatter those troublesome young ladies.
Come to think of it, I do not know any sorceresses personally, so I shall sell this Nanmu Eagle Staff to the old wine seller in the game. My sole purpose for playing this game is to earn money and nothing else.
What? Am I afraid that my enemies will purchase this divine weapon and use it against me?
Humph… that is precisely what I hope for. If he dares to steal my monster or PK me, I will make sure that he will regret it and return his weapon to him in a shattered state. Then, I shall have the old wine seller auction it off again.
Let's take a look at the attributes of the Black Iron Wolf Tooth Club.
Black Iron Wolf Tooth Club: A golden weapon, a two-handed weapon, requires a level 30 warrior with a strength of 110. It is a sharp weapon made by melting and forging the sharp teeth of the golden wolf king, which were obtained from the black iron mine.
Attack: 230, with a 10% chance of stunning and a 5% chance of knocking back the enemy. In addition, it increases strength by 30 and deals an extra 50 points of earth damage with each attack, and the final attack damage increases by 10%.
Skill: Fierce Strike: Strikes the enemy in front of you and consumes one-third of your magic. This skill also has a knockback effect.
Not bad, this high-attack weapon is similar to Kabalo's board axe and can fetch a good price.
Let's go to the old wine seller and see how the auction tonight is being prepared.
I looked up and saw the appraiser, with his white hair and beard. If it weren't for his high appraisal fees and the fact that he was a greedy man, one could easily mistake him for a wise sage.
I remember how this old miser had exploited me for so many gold coins. Now, he doesn't even look me in the eye, and I feel the urge to punch him in the face.
This heartless man is the most unfeeling person I've met in the game.
"Grandpa appraiser, do you know what the elf path is?"
When I was about to leave the appraiser's place, muttering to myself, I suddenly remembered that even though the appraiser had a black heart, he had the ability to identify artifacts and his capabilities were not simple. Perhaps he knew the secret of the Elf Path, so I humbly asked for his advice.
"How do you know about the Elf Path?"
The leisurely appraiser was surprised to hear about the Elf Path, looking at me with disbelief in his eyes.
"I heard it from someone else and just wanted to ask."
Sure enough, the appraiser knew about the Elf Path, but why did he show such a surprised expression? Could there be a reason?
"Stone City, did you attract the Dark Magician Twin-headed Crow King?"
Ignoring my answer, the appraiser asked me directly, staring at me with his big eyes. It seemed like he was going to eat me no matter what my answer was.
"Hehe, I accidentally entered the Elf Path and found out about it."
I cautiously answered, not knowing what the appraiser's focused expression and excited expression meant.
"Stone City, did you obtain the pet egg of the Divine Beast 'Dark Purple Sky Dragon'?"
The appraiser said this, almost walking up to me and grabbing me with his hands.
What's wrong with this old man? Why is he so excited?
I quickly stepped back a few steps, keeping my distance from the appraiser. Otherwise, if he became too excited and suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage or a recurrence of a heart attack, I wouldn't be able to explain it.
