Lu Chen quickly forgot about the little incident with Wind Chime Fairy, his mind solely focused on the "Cragbreaker" in his hands.

No one to give him advice? Then he'll just fill it in himself.

"Starting bid at 1000, it's useless anyway, instant buy price, let's make it 5000!"

Lu Chen knew that 5000 was steep.

Although the Cragbreaker's attributes were strong, it wasn't an epic item. The price of game items largely depends on rarity, and a piece of level 5 normal equipment doesn't seem that rare.

Just like the Gnoll's great club, despite high demand, it only goes for around 300. Only epic items with good attributes see a price surge.

The reason Lu Chen dared to set it at 5000 was mainly because it was the first green-grade equipment in the entire server, and it's the most important weapon!

Moreover, it's an auction, he doesn't necessarily need someone to buy it instantly, let others slowly bid on it.

Lu Chen didn't care if anyone bought it, he just put it up for sale.

"Buy it or don't, that's it!"

...

Back in the game, Lu Chen checked his account.

All the equipment he consigned had been sold.

33 normal clubs, after deducting fees, brought in 8150 yuan, 6 epic clubs brought in 3960 yuan, and the shoulder guard 1350 yuan, totaling 13460 yuan!

"Damn, after playing for just over two days, I've already made over 20,000, my helmet's paid off!"

Lu Chen was in a great mood, if he could earn this much every day, he could make two to three hundred thousand a month!

"When that silly girl comes back, I'll take her out for a good meal!"

Returning to the game, the three fools were still grinding nearby, and Lu Chen quickly joined the grinding team.

"This way, my leveling efficiency is 2.5 times what it used to be. Alright, I'll wait for Zakas while grinding to level 10!"

...

Lu Chen went off to level up in high spirits, but many others were now in a dilemma.

In the auction zone, a green-grade piece of equipment, the "Cragbreaker Great Club," appeared.

Starting bid was 1000, but the instant buy price was a whopping 5000!

A level 5 normal piece of equipment selling for 5000, even those interested in buying had to weigh the pros and cons.

At ESD Gaming Club, the manager and three team leaders were eyeing this piece of equipment in the auction zone.

"Instant buy for 5000, that's expensive..."

"But the attributes of this equipment are really good, 9-15 attack, way higher than the 3-6 attack of a level 1 club, and the three-dimensional stats are insane, 6 strength, 8 agility, 6 stamina, plus it provides 6 attack, 3 defense, 120 health, and attack and movement speed!"

"Yeah, the attributes are undeniably great, and we really lack level 5 equipment right now, especially weapons!"

"Shanshan, start bidding, what's the current bid?"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Assistant Shanshan said, "Manager, as soon as the equipment came out, the bid went up to 3200, now it's 3700, with 20 minutes left until the bidding ends."

"Hmm, seems like other teams think the same as us, anything below 3500 is acceptable! Never mind, add 100 to it."

"Xiaoyao, have you seen that Quinn Zakas, didn't the equipment say it was dropped by him?" Old Xu asked.

Xiaoyao and several team leaders shook their heads, "Haven't seen him."

Old Xu frowned, "Then how did Lone Madman find it... isn't he just a middleman, what level is his team anyway!"

...

TT Gaming Club.

A handsome man shook his head, "3800, someone else has bid again."

Manager Lin Xun also shook his head, "A level 5 normal piece selling for 3800, that's too high, we have the budget, but we have to consider if it's worth it."

The second team leader adjusted his glasses and said, "The key now is, aside from Lone Madman, no one knows where this equipment dropped from, he's profiting from this information gap."

"Glasses, that's stating the obvious, if we knew who dropped it, wouldn't we all go farm it. By the way, have you seen that Quinn Zakas boss?" Lin Xun asked.

The ten team leaders looked at each other and shook their heads, "No, we checked around, it's all special monsters, their clubs drop more than normal monsters, but we can't go further, it's all level seven or eight monster clusters."

Lin Xun frowned, "Where on earth did that guy find the boss? His team can't possibly be level seven or eight already."

"Lin, you're overthinking, there's no level 7 yet, let alone a level seven or eight team." Glasses said confidently.

...

At Tai'a Group, the second young master Liu Xu was playing Nine Heavens with some friends from the circle, feeling irritated as he rubbed his chin.

"Damn it, instant buy for 5000! Has Lone Madman gone crazy for money!"

"Second Master, aren't you buying it, it's the first one!"

"Money's not the issue, I can buy good equipment for tens of thousands easily! But it's just level 5 equipment, my money doesn't grow on trees."

"That's true, 5000 is too high, besides, we're level 5 too, if Lone Madman can farm it, why can't we!"

"But honestly, the attributes are really strong, and it's the first green-grade in the whole server, it'd be really flashy to have it, I'm really tempted."

Do rich people just throw money around? They do, but they're also very particular.

Many wealthy people don't care how much they spend, they'll pay tens or even hundreds of thousands for a super strong piece of equipment, but they'll also haggle over a few hundred or a few dozen with the seller.

Ultimately, it's about spending money wisely!

Now, the Cragbreaker Great Club is in everyone's mind, teetering between "worth it" and "not worth it"...

...

In the Mountain City player forum, a post was unexpectedly dug up and kept being manually pinned by players.

It was even pushed to the National Server's main forum...

Lu Chen probably didn't expect that his initially ignored post would be boosted to such a level.

"Damn, paying respects to a godly post! Look at the post time, it was made before the Cragbreaker auction, the OP knew about this equipment long ago!"

"The OP was driven away by keyboard warriors, damn, keyboard warriors are really something, does your face hurt now? The 'nonexistent' equipment you talked about is still hanging in the auction zone."

"Cragbreaker has been bid up to 4000! Damn, a level 5 normal piece selling for 4000, that's some storytelling."

"Is the OP Lone Madman?"

"Are you stupid, even if not, he's definitely related to Lone Madman, maybe even from Lone Madman's company."

"Is the OP still here? Does your company really have tens of thousands of people helping the boss play games? Which company is it?"

"OP, where exactly is Quinn Zakas, can you tell us, we're begging!"

"Compared to Zakas, I want to know more about who Lone Madman really is. I guess he's the young master of the 'Xinwei' Group, or maybe even Mr. Ma himself!"

"This Lone Madman is so mysterious, what level is he really? I guess at least level 6! The highest now is level 6."
