Chapter 20: Auction House
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“How... How... How... How can this be?”
The Orc Priest held onto the Resurrection Spell with his jaw dropped. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
“If it weren’t for you when we were fighting the Boss, I wouldn’t have survived. This is what you deserve, take it.”
It would definitely be pretentious to say that it did not break Li Yi’s heart gifting fifty thousand bucks just like that. However, this party that was newly assembled consisted of friends, not some hired or contracted party. Everyone was the same. Any item that came out to whom belonged to them. If they were to sell it, it would just be cheap.
“Without your help in luring the enemy, even if I played a part, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat it. I want to be friends with you.”
[I Love Beast Beast adds you as a friend. Accept?]
Another one who played a super supportive role...
Li Yi accepted with a smile.
System Notification: [I Love Beast Beast has successfully transferred fifty thousand yuan to your account.]
“This...” It was Li Yi’s turn to be flabbergasted.
“You’re a good friend. Of course, I will return the favor. Haha, I can’t say much for others. But, if there’s an opportunity like this in the future, just hit me up.”
I Love Beast laughed out loud and smacked his hands together. The Resurrection Spell transformed into a white light before creeping into his body.
Li Yi, “...”
I Love Beast Beast, “...”
“I did not see anything, hehe.” Li Yi chuckled and walked out of the cave.
The fact that I Love Beast Beast could learn the Resurrection Spell meant he was at least a Level 12. His state of excessive excitement had him learned Resurrection Spell before Li Yi, thus revealing his level.
Although it wasn’t a big deal, looking at this from another perspective, it was just as though Li Yi did not want to reveal his current level.
Of course, he would reveal it, just now was not the time.
“Haha.”
I Love Beast Beast walked out, laughing.
“Friend, while I was clearing Fire Cave, I obtained a Forging Book for archers. Since there’s no point of me keeping it, I’ll give it to you.”
I Love Beast Beast handed a Forging Book with a red front cover to Li Yi.
Li Yi took the Forging Book. His heart stopped a beat.
Flame Arrow Forging Book!
“Dropped by the monsters here?” Li Yi was surprised.
In King of Pantheon, there were a lot of people in the archer class early on, but most of them did not last long and deleted their account to switch to other classes for two reasons. The first reason was that equipment was hard to come by, while the second being that there was a lack of effectiveness in attack.
To make it big, then the Assassination Thief or the Violent Warrior was the way to go. To play with pets, then a Summoner was the right choice. As for Archers, they had no equipment, no technique, and Buff that their party could benefit from. They were a dispensable class in an instance dungeon. From this point, they weren’t much of a difference from the Thief class.
Of course, many archers did not know that in order for them to be a real killer, there was one important factor.
Arrows!
Normal Arrows’ ATK damage ranged 0–1. One Silver Coin could see the purchase of 100 arrows in an NPC shop. This was an essential task the majority of archers would do.
There was a massive consumption of arrows, yet they were barely effective.
Other than the Trap Archers, the other two Path Archers would not use any skill added with Elemental Attributes. If they wanted to shoot arrows with special effects, then they would only rely on forging.
The Flame Arrow Forging Book had a low production rate. Although there was a decrease in people playing the Archer class in the later stages, it didn’t affect its price. Arrows that were added with Fire attribute damage were a favorite amongst Archers. Its practicability was no less than Resurrection Spell.
To Li Yi, he didn’t care about the Resurrection Spell, but having the Flame Arrow Forging Book was a dream come true.
“I don’t know why, but I hit it off with you the moment I saw you. Haha, I’m leaving now, brother. Let’s party up again if there’s a chance.”
I Love Beast Beast smiled and excused himself.
“It’s because... I love beast beast too,” Li Yi laughed out loud.
Li Yi had just split with I Love Beast Beast when the System’s announcement in red began.
[There is a change in Mode and the Novice Protection Mode can only be activated in Novice Village. Out of the Village, the punishment of character’s death will be similar to players at Level 10 and above. The announcement is hereby given. In addition, Auction Houses in all major cities have officially commenced.]
“That’s good!”
Seeing this announcement, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He long knew there would be a change in gaming rules as there were already plenty that were using the Novice Mode while hitting on Bosses with the Human Wave tactical strategy. They wouldn’t be punished for dying anyway, and taking down Bosses would see them to abundant rewards.
The Auction House was finally here at last. Li Yi immediately made a move for the human’s main city, Shattered Frost City.
Once the rules that the Novice Protection Mode was effective only in Novice Village got out, the entire game turned to chaos.
Those with vengeance were out to seek revenge while those with grudge were out to avenge. PK was allowed from Level 1. There were many players on the go, and within a few minutes after the announcement was out, they killed until their names turned red.
Li Yi came across quite a number of red names on the way, leaving him speechless.
They weren’t even at Level 10 yet, yet they dared smear their names in red. It looked as though they hadn’t thoroughly gone through the game rules and weren’t aware of the severe punishments that came with red names.
It was bustling with activity at the Auction House. It wasn’t just Li Yi waiting for the opening of the Auction House, but many many players, too. They shared the same thought: finding a suitable equipment for themselves here.
Li Yi posted the two Skill Tomes, Water Spirits Summoning and Water Spirits Strengthening, to Tall and Mighty.
Li Yi managed to rummage a whole pile of class Skill Tome dropped by Frost Labyrinth’s Boss. As he wouldn’t be able to use them, he displayed each of them at 3,000 credit points (equivalent to cash).
As for the Bloody Soul Beads, he auctioned them off, with a bid starting with 5,000 credit points.
He sold them anonymously to avoid those players who were looking for a steal from bargaining in private conversation...
Once everything was settled, Li Yi patiently picked around at the Auction House.
Currently, apart from equipment, he was lacking in books and materials in crafting arrows.
The learning condition of Flame Arrow Forging Book was to level up his Arrow Crafting Skill to Intermediate Level.
Li Yi’s Beginner-Level Arrow Crafting Skill was raised fully, yet the gap to Intermediate Level was still too far.
It wasn’t long when Li Yi found an Arrow Forging Book that was suitable for him.
It was the Fine Steel Arrow Forging Book. The learning condition was Beginner-Level Arrow Crafting Skill.
The Fine Steel Arrow could incur 2–5 ATK damage, increasing armor-piercing probability by 1%.
One look at the price was enough to make Li Yi elated. One look at the seller, Li Yi was beyond ecstatic.
The Fine Steel Arrow Forging Book was at a fixed price of 2 Gold Coins. The seller was Wang’er.
