Where to Meet in Life
I am speechless. Old Wine is really good at making money. They have come up with such a method: for wealthy players to view auction items in person, it costs at least thirty gold coins, while those without money can visit the store for only sixteen gold coins. They have considered all aspects, no wonder business is so booming.
"Old Wine, have all the tickets been sold?"
"Not one left, especially the one hundred VIP seats. The competition was fierce and we couldn't sell enough. In reality, there are too many wealthy people, and they all care about their face. Sitting in the VIP area is a symbol of their status, and as long as they have money, they are trying hard to get there. Stone, be prepared for the price of the 'Gang Building Order' auction tonight to exceed our estimate by a lot."
Haha, I can handle it. The more gold coins, the more I like it, and the happier I am.
"Stone, according to the regulations, the auction tickets are provided by the auction house, so I cannot give you any. Therefore, the visitation fees will be divided between us seven to three, which is definitely unfair to you. Of course, the reason the auction tickets have such high income is because your items are valuable, and because of your 'Gang Building Order,' it has made my Old Wine auction house famous. To be fair, I won't charge you ten percent of the auction fee this time, but you will have to pay the two percent to the system. What do you think?"
"Okay, let's do that."
Old Wine is definitely a successful businessman in reality. Although everything is for profit, they are fair in their actions, which leaves me speechless.
I admire Old Wine's organization of this auction. It is so clever, although their idea is to take the high-end route, specifically auctioning to wealthy people, they have also taken into account the emotions of players without money, allowing them to participate, no, they can visit the auction.
"After the auction, I will transfer your gold coins to you. But, Stone, remember to let me auction off the equipment you create in the future."
Old Wine and I smiled at each other, let us work together to make a killing in "King of Glory."
Wait, according to Old Wine's current income, they must have entered the wealth ranking. I quickly opened the wealth ranking to check.
Wealth Ranking:
First Place, QianXing TianXia, Gold Coins: 58.42 million
Second Place, FengYun MoLong, Gold Coins: 55.56 million
Third Place, Hao Tian, Gold Coins: 51.12 million
Fourth Place, Old Wine, Gold Coins: 48.72 million
Fifth Place, HeiLong WuTian, Gold Coins: 46.41 million
Sixth Place, WoAi JinBi, Gold Coins: 43.89 million
Seventh Place, TianHuo DaoYin, Gold Coins: 38.78 million
Eighth Place, SanYe YangGuang, Gold Coins: 35.74 million
Ninth Place, ShiShen # WuChen, Gold Coins: 27.71 million
Tenth Place, JinBao DianQi, Gold Coins: 25.42 million
Sure enough, Old Wine not only made it onto the wealth ranking, but they are also in fourth place. Their progress is too terrifying, they have become rich overnight. However, one third of this gold is mine, which makes me happy.
"Old Wine, I still have three high-quality equipment pieces. Let's sell them together tonight."
"Are they golden equipment? Let me take a look."
In my backpack, I currently possess three pieces of golden equipment: the Black Iron Wolf Fang Club, the Skeleton Bow, and the Wind Thunder Staff. Additionally, I have the divine instrument, the Nanmu Eagle Staff. I will leave the Skeleton Bow for my little sister, but in return, she must give me a sweet kiss. As for the rest, I will have Old Wine auction them off.
"Ah, not bad, good stuff. Stone, the properties of this Black Iron Wolf Fang Club are even better than Kabarou's Axe. Did you get it today?"
Old Wine was speechless and shocked. Other players couldn't even find a single piece of golden equipment in a week, but this Knight from Stone City found another piece of exceptionally powerful golden equipment in just one day.
Fortunately, other players didn't know about Stone's prowess; otherwise, there would be an uproar. Indeed, people can be so different, which can be frustrating.
"Mmm, I encountered a boss, and this Mage Staff is also excellent."
As I said that, I handed over the Wind Thunder Staff.
"A Wind Thunder Staff for a level twenty mage, good properties. Stone, I have a friend who is a mage. If you name your price, I will buy it directly from you."
Old Wine immediately grabbed the Wind Thunder Staff, determined to obtain it at all costs.
Finally, Old Wine had found a piece of decent mage equipment. Now, his beloved granddaughter would no longer give him a hard time, and he would no longer be prohibited from drinking. Old Wine seemed to have seen his springtime.
"Old Wine, do you want a divine instrument staff for mages?"
Old Wine was a kind person, and he directly waived ten percent of the auction fee for me. Therefore, I decided to sell him the Nanmu Eagle Staff.
"A divine instrument?"
"Yes, quickly. Stone, bring it over, and let me see it."
Old Wine was ecstatic. With this divine instrument, his two beloved granddaughters could forget about their unpleasant experience yesterday, and they would no longer complain to him. Yesterday, his granddaughter came back from leveling up, looking unhappy, and kept complaining about a knight who bullied her.
Just as I was about to take out the Nanmu Eagle Staff, a burst of light shone in the center of the room, revealing two figures.
I recognized those two familiar figures; I had seen them before.
The two figures were surrounded by light, and their faces were blurry. They were logging out of the game and were now entering the game.
I was stunned! How could it be them?
I almost screamed in disbelief. Life is so unpredictable. This Earth is too small, or rather, the game "King of Glory" is too small.
The radiance of login protection faded, revealing two graceful figures with slim and lithe figures resembling willow trees. Their slender waists were barely graspable, and their graceful and charming curves highlighted their beauty, causing me to feel breathless. Especially since the two were almost identical, as if they were one person, their similarity was astonishing.
Observing the facial features of the two figures, their exquisite and delicate jade faces had no differences, and their appearances were very similar. However, while they were comparable, they emanated different types of beauty. One had an aloof and icy countenance, while the other was lively and coquettish. These were the twin sorceresses BingYu and HuoWu whom QingZhu and I had encountered yesterday.
"Why are you here?"
I was shocked to see BingYu and HuoWu appearing here. While HuoWu had already noticed me and gave me a surprised look.
"How come you're here?"
I was also puzzled by this situation.
"I asked you first, so you answer first."
HuoWu glared at me, her eyes flashing with anger, as if she would hit me if I didn't respond.
"If you don't answer me, then I won't answer you first."
I glared back, hmph, who's afraid of whom!
I had no obligation to answer her, especially after they bullied and disrespected me yesterday. Despite that, I didn't trouble them, and even showed them kindness. Yet they still treated me this way, what justice is there?
Although BingYu wasn't angry with me, she still maintained her cold and haughty demeanor, and only gave me a glance before ignoring me. This was frustrating.
Yesterday, I risked my life to rescue them from the evil Nanmu Demon King. This was such a noble and virtuous act, filled with warmth and gratitude.
As the saying goes, "When drinking the water, remember the source; when saved by others, one should repay with one's own life." As their savior, I didn't expect them to repay me with their lives, but couldn't they at least give me a kiss? If that wasn't possible, a smile or a greeting would do.
Their treatment towards me made me angry.
