"My mom said we can set up a stall in the square to sell, or use the Portable Auction House. The small square allows free trade, but the Portable Auction House charges a storage fee and a 10% transaction tax.
For valuable items, it's best to use the Auction House. Although stall trading is free, it's hard to find buyers with so many people around."
"Alright."
Following Spicy Rabbit's advice, Li Wu summoned the auction interface and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the planners of Blue Star Online.
The Portable Auction House is incredibly convenient. You can buy and sell anytime, anywhere, and even search by category. Whatever you want to buy, just search for it.
However, since the Main City hasn't opened yet, the Auction House's usage is limited to the current Beginner Village.
But with only 9,999 Beginner Villages in all of China, and each having about ten thousand people on average, that's a substantial base.
There were quite a few Black Iron equipment in the Auction House, but most were just plain items.
With Gold equipment already in hand, Li Wu naturally wasn't interested in plain items and first searched for "Zombie Thigh Bone."
The Auction House had two Zombie Thigh Bones with the same attributes as those dropped by the Electric Zombie King, priced at 11 silver and 13 silver, both with a buyout price.
Black Iron equipment can't be auctioned and can only be sold at a buyout price.
Li Wu thought for a moment and decided not to list it.
A small fortune, using a 100-yuan Black Iron weapon isn't too extravagant!
There were very few Silver equipment in the Auction House, and there were no "Zombie King Bone Pendant" or "Zombie King Ring," these two Silver items.
Li Wu searched by part, level, and quality and finally found a level 5 Silver necklace currently being auctioned.
The bidding price for this necklace had already risen to 56 silver, with over ten minutes left on the countdown, indicating it would likely go higher.
Li Wu thought for a moment and turned to Spicy Rabbit:
"The Zombie King Pendant and Zombie King Ring are of the same quality, so their prices should be similar. We don't necessarily have to sell them and split the money. You decide whether to sell one."
"I'll choose the Zombie King Pendant and keep it for myself since I don't have a bank card and can't withdraw money."
"Alright." Li Wu nodded and directly traded the Zombie King Pendant to Spicy Rabbit, then listed the Zombie King Ring on the Auction House.
Silver equipment! He didn't deserve it! Besides, he couldn't use it yet.
He set the starting bid at 30 silver, with the auction time for Silver equipment fixed at 1 hour.

There was no Gold equipment in the Auction House at all. Li Wu thought for a moment and set the starting bid at 2 gold, with the auction time for Gold fixed at 3 hours.
As soon as the "Zombie King Scepter" was thrown into the Auction House by Li Wu, it quickly caught the attention of many people.
In Beginner Village No. 5188, at the gathering place of level 8 Steel-tooth Boars...
A young girl, holding a silver revolver in each hand, delivered the final blow to a Steel-tooth Boar blocked by two shield-bearing players.
After taking down a shield-bearing player, the Steel-tooth Boar with 2800 health points fell under the girl's gunfire.
Not far away, five shield-bearing players surrounded and killed another Steel-tooth Boar, and one of them quickly ran over to take the place of the recently deceased player.
The girl coolly blew away the nonexistent smoke from her gun barrel:
"This Silver pistol is really nice, killing monsters is much faster than with the previous Silver staff."
A middle-aged woman approached and whispered, "Miss, although firearms have a fast attack speed, they can only deal the fixed damage of the firearm itself. You currently have two spell skills, and the DPS of that Silver staff is only 5.3% lower than when you use the Silver pistol."
"Only a 5.3% increase? That's still pretty good, the pistol feels nice."
"Miss, the cost-effectiveness is too low."
The girl raised her eyebrows, incredulously looking at her butler: "Cost-effectiveness? You're talking to me, Bai Dabao, about cost-effectiveness? Do I lack money?"
The middle-aged woman's expression remained unchanged as she replied calmly, "You do lack money!"
"Huh?"
"Just now, you fired 23 shots at that Steel-tooth Boar, costing 115 yuan, and lost one bodyguard. The death spirit compensation is 50 yuan, plus 10 yuan each for the pain compensation of two bodyguards, totaling 185 yuan to kill one boar."
"185? That's not much!"
"To maintain your level in the first echelon, you need to kill at least 700 Steel-tooth Boars daily, with a total cost of over 136,500 yuan."
"Uh! That much?" Bai Dabao blinked, somewhat disbelieving.
"Your father's supplementary card gives you a monthly quota of 1 million, and with what you get from your mother by acting cute, you have a disposable amount of 1.38 million this month."
"So I can't even play for ten days?"
"You're overthinking it. You've already spent 767,000, meaning you'll be out of money in about five days, and there are 14 days left this month, so you'll have to go without for 9 days. I suggest you hunt Giant Bunnies after five days."
"What should I do! I don't want to go without, and I don't want to hunt Giant Bunnies!"
"Then switch back to the Silver staff and hunt level 7 monsters. The mana recovery cost is also significant, but it can ensure the bodyguard team doesn't die. Although your level might slowly drop out of the first echelon, the gap won't be too large."
"Alright then."
The middle-aged woman saw Bai Dabao's aggrieved expression and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
She was actually exaggerating; Bai Dabao still had a large sum of New Year's money to spend.
She just didn't want to see the bodyguard team continue risking their lives. She had died twice in the early stages of the game, and although it wasn't real death, the realistic death experience was quite terrifying.
Bai Dabao had the highest level and best equipment. If she dared to face the monsters, she could solo a Steel-tooth Boar, but unfortunately, she was afraid of pain.
Given her fear of pain and reluctance to face monsters, the level 7 bodyguards were prone to dying. Even with seven bodyguards rotating, who knows how many times they'd die in a day? How could anyone tolerate that?
Each death came with a 50 yuan compensation, and the daily compensation alone could reach 3,000 yuan. But what if a bodyguard developed mental issues?
Although these bodyguards volunteered for the money, what outsiders might say could be different.
At that point, both the young lady's and the Bai family's reputations could be affected.
So she subtly guided Bai Dabao to change tactics without making the bodyguards feel she was blocking their financial path.
"Ding!"
A notification sound caught the middle-aged woman's attention.
This was a special alert from the Auction House, which would notify as soon as a pre-set item was listed.
"Zombie King Scepter" (Gold)
Seeing the attributes of this Gold equipment, the middle-aged woman's eye twitched.
Couldn't you have listed it a few minutes earlier? Wasting so many of my brain cells!
"Miss, leveling up by hunting boars isn't impossible..."
The middle-aged woman wasn't the only player in Beginner Village No. 5188 who had set up a Gold equipment alert.
"Boss, there's Gold equipment again!"
"Boss, check out the treasure!"
"No one is taking this Gold staff from me!"
......
Li Wu opened the search interface and found no Amethyst Ore in the Auction House. After thinking for a moment, he directly traded one Amethyst Ore to Spicy Rabbit, one for each of them.
Having listed everything that could be listed, and just as he was about to take the young girl to the square, Li Wu couldn't help but glance at the auction interface for the "Zombie King Scepter," and then he froze in place.
50 gold
50 gold 1 silver
