Chapter 16 – Fang Greatblade Auction

In the end, the [Silver Wolf Bracelet] was auctioned off for 20,000 yuan, leaving Wu Shaochen quite puzzled. How could it sell for 20,000? He could only sigh at the wealth of others. After grinding the Silver Wolves for over an hour again, Wu Shaochen finally couldn't hold on any longer. Although he wanted to keep going, since he didn't have to work and would rely on the game to make a living, now was the perfect time to earn money.

However, after battling for more than ten hours in a day, his body couldn't take it anymore. He put the recently dropped [Silver Wolf Armor] up for auction because he already had the [Boar King Armor]. The [Silver Wolf Armor], with its +80 Health and +2 Defense, wasn't necessary. But its attributes were decent, leaning towards health, and might just trigger a bit more health regeneration.

He listed it anonymously, in bidding mode, confirmed, and logged off...

Wu Shaochen took off his helmet, rubbed his head, feeling dizzy. It seemed he needed to save up for a game storage unit. It was said that playing games while lying in a game storage unit kept a person in the best condition in reality, and it provided nutrient solutions to replenish the body's needs. However, gaming consumed a lot of mental energy, and one typically had to log off and rest after three days. Still, it was much better than a game helmet, though unfortunately, game storage units were outrageously expensive, costing a million each, definitely for the wealthy.

Wu Shaochen checked his mobile phone for his bank balance, 307,300 yuan, and was overjoyed. He never expected to earn 300,000 yuan in just the first day of the game's launch. 300,000 yuan! By his previous job's salary, it would take nearly ten years of hard work without spending a dime to earn that much, and he made it in just one day in the game.

What to do? He was just very tired, but now he suddenly couldn't sleep.

Ah, let's browse the forum...

Wu Shaochen opened the forum, and the top post was indeed about him.

"The Terrifying Boar King: How Was It Taken Down?"

Below were various analyses of the Boar King's data, concluding that at this stage, it was impossible for anyone to take down the Boar King. However, no one dared to accuse anyone of cheating, as everyone felt this game was different, a truly groundbreaking product, making external cheats impossible.

Finally, there was a strong request for Chen Feng to share the Boar King's strategy.

The post had countless replies, all wanting Wu Shaochen to share his strategy, with all sorts of grandiose reasons.

Wu Shaochen smiled faintly after reading it, not bothering to respond, and continued browsing to see if there were any interesting posts.

After browsing for over ten minutes, Wu Shaochen finally felt sleepy again. He set a six-hour alarm and fell asleep on the bed.

He slept until the alarm went off, opened his eyes to see the sky still dark. Although he wanted to sleep more, he couldn't afford to, or he'd lose the hard-earned advantage. When he logged off, the average level in the Novice Village should have reached level 4, with the more skilled players likely at level 5. Although leveling up required more experience later, players' strength was also gradually increasing, and leveling up one or two levels in six hours was enough.

Putting on the helmet, Wu Shaochen quickly entered the game, and soon a system notification sounded.

"Ding, the item you listed in the auction house has been purchased by a player. The final price was 30,000, with a 4,500 yuan fee deducted. The remaining 25,500 yuan has been transferred to your bound account."

"Feels great, logging in and already receiving money." He thought that by now, players should generally be at level 6 or even 7, so that weapon should be ready for auction.

Wu Shaochen quickly headed towards the Novice Village. Ah, running back and forth was such a hassle. Why didn't the Novice Village sell Town Return Scrolls?

Passing through the Wild Boar Forest, he found it crowded with people. It seemed everyone was fond of Wild Boar gear. After all, farming Wild Boars was quite challenging. Without enough agility, it was hard to dodge the Wild Boar's Savage Charge, which dealt 150% damage and caused a one-second stun, something most people couldn't withstand. It was safer to fight spiders, whose skills only trapped people in webs. With more people, fighting spiders was safer than fighting Wild Boars.

But these weren't Wu Shaochen's concerns. At this stage, many people already had Wild Boar gear, and the Boar King gear he wore looked similar to Wild Boar gear, so he couldn't be bothered to take it off.

He quickly returned to the Novice Village, retrieved the weapon, and listed it in the auction house, in bidding mode, with a ten-minute bidding time. After confirming, Wu Shaochen headed towards Silver Wolf Valley again.

The listing of the first Black Iron Tier equipment indeed caused a huge sensation. The area channel exploded instantly.

"Holy crap, Black Iron equipment!"

"Adds 30 attack and 10 strength, equivalent to 50 attack. This weapon alone has more attack than all my gear combined. Black Iron gear is truly amazing."

"This weapon must have dropped from the Boar King. So the master who killed the Boar King is in our Novice Village."

"Why is the master selling such an awesome weapon? Could it be that the master already has a better weapon?"

"Impossible, how could there be a weapon stronger than Black Iron gear now?"

"Who knows, doesn't matter, just grab it first. If I get it, I can soar instantly."

"Everyone, keep an eye on it. I must buy this weapon." Young Master Huang had recently been frustrated by losing out on gear he wanted, and the appearance of this weapon excited him like nothing else. With this weapon, the previous ones were trash.

"Why did he wait so long to sell this weapon? Could he have really found a better one?" Linzi asked, puzzled.

"Impossible, ordinary monsters in the Novice Village shouldn't drop Black Iron gear, unless he killed another Black Iron BOSS," Haoran replied.

"There aren't that many BOSSes in the Novice Village. He's selling this weapon now because players' levels weren't high enough to equip it before, so it wouldn't have sold for much. Now is the best time to sell it, as players' levels have generally increased, and they need a powerful weapon to improve their monster-fighting efficiency. Whether he has a better weapon is unknown, but maybe the Boar King dropped more than one weapon," Junlin analyzed.

No one could have imagined that the master they admired was still using a Novice Wooden Sword to fight monsters and had never broken through any armor.

"Should we try to get this weapon?" Little Bei asked.

"We definitely should, but the price will likely skyrocket. We're professional players, and although we've made some money over the years, we can't compete with the truly wealthy. We'll do our best," Junlin said solemnly, clearly not confident about getting the weapon. Previously, they managed to snag a few pieces of gear through clever tactics, but it was clear that there were many wealthy players in this Novice Village.

"Young Miss, this weapon..." Uncle Liu hesitated in front of Su Muxue. He wanted to persuade her to get it, but was worried she'd weigh its value, as she was always rational and not easily impulsive. This trait was actually very good, so he didn't know how to persuade her.

"Get it!" Su Muxue said.

Hearing Su Muxue's words, Uncle Liu's eyes lit up. "Alright, Young Miss, I'll bring you good news."

The price of the [Fang Greatblade] soared, as it was the first Black Iron Tier weapon, and its added attributes were irresistible. Whoever got it would see their attack power nearly double, a huge boost for early-stage monster fighting.

The price soon surpassed the previous highest auction house transaction, reaching the 60,000 mark, then 80,000. At this point, there were noticeably fewer bidders, as not everyone could disregard money.
