Virtual World: Conquering the World - Chapter 155: Soul Reaper

Chapter 155: Soul Reaper

So with the help of Ling Xue, I successfully sold the Frost Axe for a hundred thousand gold coins and earned a large amount!  The current gold coin to RMB exchange rate was 1 : 1, so I didn’t dare delay.  I quickly exchanged the hundred thousand gold coins for over a hundred thousand RMB and deposited it in my checkings account.

Ling Xue spread her hands and said with a smile, “You have to give a bonus!”

I gave her a Ripper Sword and said with a smile, “You can sell this weapon!”

Ling Xue nodded with a smile before happily putting the sword in her store.

I turned back and saw Ling Xue also looking at me like she found this funny.  She spread her snow white hands and said to me, “Bookworm, you should have given a portion to the studio!”

It seemed right, so I immediately sent a direct deposit of fifty thousand RMB into Ling Yue’s gaming account.  Ling Yue’s beautiful eyes turned into a crescent moon as she happily said, “Our Xue Yue’s studio’s first big earning is in hand, un!  It’s enough for our living expenses for a month~”

I reminded her, “Ling Yue, that, didn’t we get a Dark Gold Dagger last time?  Have you not sold it yet?  That dagger’s price definitely isn’t low and if we sell it, it should be enough funds to run the studio for a year!”

Ling Yue was pleasantly surprised.  She said with a smile, “Ya!  I almost forgot!  I’ll bring it over now and I’ll sell it here!  Bookworm, help me look after my stall……”

After saying this, Ling Yue headed to the warehouse manager and came back like a tornado after a few minutes.  She had a Dark Gold Dagger that was sparkling, which had been dropped with the Guild Establishment Token!

[Soul Reaper]  (Dark Gold Equipment – Dagger)

Attack: 450-550

Strength: +30

Agility: +25

Vitality: +18

Additional: Increases the user’s attack speed by 25%.

Slots: 1

Required level: 65

……

I couldn’t help being scared by the strong stats of the dagger.  Not to mention the high 550 attack power of the dagger, there was also a 25% increase in attack speed.  There was no doubt that this large increase in attack speed was already close to breaking the balance of the game and the assassin that had this dagger would definitely be a hard adversary for magician players!

Ling Yue asked with a smile, “How much should we sell this dagger for?”

I said, “Just directly sell it for RMB.  As for the price, I think that it definitely shouldn’t be lower than five hundred thousand RMB, right?”

Ling Yue blinked, “Would people spend that much money for a piece of Dark Gold Equipment in a game?”

I nodded, “There will be.  If you had control of the Blue Star Group, wouldn’t you buy a similar level mage staff?”

Ling Yue couldn’t help smiling, “That’s right, if father did give me the company, I would definitely buy it.  It’s the same with Xue’er……”

Ling Xue said with a smile, “You can’t finish spending all that money, so why not buy it?”

I couldn’t help smiling as I said, “You two little girls who will ruin your family, good!  Ling Yue, set up the stall and I’ll help you call for customers!”

“Un!”

Ling Yue immediately put up the Dark Gold Dagger on sale and the price was five hundred thousand RMB!

So I raised my voice to shout, “Assassins of Sunset City, pay attention!  There’s currently a level 65 highest quality dagger for sale, come immediately if you want it!  Those that have assassin friends, please help spread the word!  It’s first come first serve!”

As expected, Sunset City’s square exploded.  There was actually someone publicly selling a piece of Dark Gold Equipment, this really was a first!

Very soon, there were a bunch of assassins that started shouting out.

A skinny assassin asked, “Hey!  Can this dagger be cheaper?  Can you sell it for 500 RMB?”

A fat assassin said, “Scram, I’ll pay 5000 RMB!”

“All of you leave, I’ll pay 50000!  50000!”  An aggressive young master assassin shouted.

Ling Yue was speechless and stuck behind me as the crowd came closer and closer.

I protected Ling Yue while pointing, “Hey!  This assassin friend, you can’t cause trouble if you’re not buying!  Also, that assassin with the obscene look!  You b*stard, we’re selling equipment, not people!  Quickly suck up all that saliva, it’s about to drip on the dagger!”

At this time, there was a magician that called out, “Everyone, move aside, I have some urgent matters!”

This little mage was considered quite badass.  He pushed through with the skinny figure of a magician and said to me, “Easily Angered Bookworm!  I have a friend that will be coming to Sunset City!  He’s willing to pay 500000, so just wait a bit!”

I saw some hope, so I announced, “Everyone!  There’s already a customer for this dagger, so please come earlier next time!”

I cursed in my heart: These b*stards, not a single one can pay 500000 and only know how to look at beauties!  They scared Ling Yue into hiding behind me and the ones that surrounded Ling Xue were even more pitiful.  Ling Xue directly took out the Thunderclap Sword and swung it around, scaring those assassins until they ran off with wet pants.

Not long after, a swordsman with a spear came over.  This swordsman gave up the traditional two handed sword to use a spear, that was enough to show how good the spear was.  After all, the traditional weapon had 20% increased attack, which was a large amount that normal people couldn’t resist.

The surrounding players gradually scattered.  Ling Yue fixed her mage robe and stood seriously in front of the store.  I quickly used my Star Eyes to see the name of the person who came and this person with the spear was actually Lone Grave, the boss of Fleeting Years!  Just half an hour ago, he founded China’s second guild, Fleeting Years!

Lone Grave clearly never thought that the one selling the item was us, so he was a bit surprised.  But he quickly changed to a smile as he said, “I never thought that it would be the famous Xue Yue Guild.  The leaders are actually here doing business!  Ha, ha, this really is a fortunate meeting!  This lowly one is Lone Grave!  Easily Angered Bookworm, Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon, Gentle Breeze Flying Snow, good evening!”

Ling Xue blinked before saying with a smile, “It’s uncle Lone Grave!”

Lone Grave looked a bit awkward before saying with a smile, “I never thought that the ones selling this Soul Reaper would be you all.  This is also good, we can become friends like this!  I’m helping a friend buy this dagger!”

After saying this, Lone Grave directly opened a trade window with Ling Yue.  Ling Yue said in a low voice filled with joy to me, “It’s five hundred thousand!”

I couldn’t help smiling, her potential was stronger than her!  This successor to the Ling Group was this happy over five hundred thousand.  It had to be known that Ling Tian’s business wasn’t worse than Lone Grave’s.  It could even be said that all the funds of the Ling Group would be enough to influence three provinces!

After the trade, Long Grave looked at Ling Xue and Ling Yue before he couldn’t help saying with a smile, “Seeing you today, I have to admit that Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon and Gentle Breeze Flying Snow’s beauty really knows no bounds!  He, he, the rumours are all true!”

Ling Xue and Ling Xue both felt a bit embarrassed.  I said, “Uncle Lone Grave, since your Fleeting Years has been established, I hope that later on, Xue Yue and Fleeting Years can get along!”

Lone Grave was a bit surprised before saying with a smile, “Naturally.  I have an understanding of Sunset City and I can only say that this Fated Madman person, hei, hei, really fills one with regret.  It’s a good thing that Sunset City has you all, or I’m afraid that it would be a scene of dogs biting each other……”

I couldn’t help saying with a smile, “It won’t be long before China’s new main cities will be out.  When that time comes, everyone will gather in the main city.  Un, I hope that Fleeting Years will be Xue Yue’s most reliable ally!”

Lone Grave took a deep look at me before giving a laugh, “With you, the future main city will have a bright future!”

I was a bit confused.  Lone Grave gave a deep smile before saying, “I still have other matters to handle, so goodbye everyone!  I hope that we can meet again soon!”

After saying this, Lone Grave used a scroll to return to the other city.

Ling Yue was still filled with joy as she said with a smile, “Five hundred thousand, it’s enough to support our Xue Yue Studio for a year!”

I opened the player level rankings and was impressed to find that an European mage players had already reached level 59!  It seemed like the first level 60 player would be appearing soon!

Looking at the Chinese rankings, Ling Yue was still first, I was second, and Ghost Fire had fallen to fourth.

1. Gentle Breeze Flying Snow

Level 52

……

This Gale Warrior Hell Flames leveled up quite quickly, already reaching third place and putting Ghost Fire and Delicate Rice Fragrance behind him.  The biggest change was Ling Xue charging up to sixth place.  Ling Xue was currently at level 55 and had the Thunderclap Sword, so it was clear that Ling Xue was already the most dazzling swordswoman in all of China.

Counting it, of the players on the level rankings, five of them belonged to Xue Yue.  It could be seen that Xue Yu’s strength was already enough to look down on the Chinese Server.  The newly established Fleeting Year had Lone Grave and Hell Flames, so they couldn’t be looked down on.  China’s rumoured number one gaming group, the Battle Soul Guild also had two people.  However, looking at the following ranks, going from rank eleven to rank fifty, there were no less than ten players that started with Battle Soul!  It could be seen that Battle Soul’s position as the ruler was still very firm.  If Xue Yue wanted to take the number one spot in China, we would need to put in more effort!

After looking at the level ranking, I turned to Ling Yue who was pleased and said, “Boss, look, the world’s number one player is about to reach level 60.  What should we do now?”

Ling Yue said with a smile, “Us?  We’ll just wait until they reach level 60!”

Ling Xue did her business on the side, “This classmate, you’ve looked at my Ripper Sword for five minutes now.  Will you buy it or not?”

The shy little swordsman said, “Thirty thousand gold coins, it’s a bit expensive……But, if you agree to one of my conditions, I’ll buy this sword…….”

Ling Xue’s beautiful eyes looked over and she spoke in a sweet voice with a smile, “What do you want?”

I was about to die from my nervousness, so I raised a dagger and said, “What condition, speak!”

Un, if this kid really wanted to make a presumptuous request of Ling Xue, I would kill him immediately!”

Who thought that the little swordsman would just timidly say, “Gentle Breeze Flying Snow, can you take a screenshot with me?  Just three seconds is fine……”

Ling Xue was stunned before looking at me and asking, “Little fool, do you see this?”

I was also surprised.  I never thought that Ling Xue was this charming that people would spend thirty thousand gold coins to buy a Silver Sword just to take a screenshot with her.

In the end, Ling Xue took the screenshot with that person.  With Sunset City’s walls as a background and with a distance between them that made me even think, “Can this even be considered a group screenshot anymore?”

The swordsman bought the Silver Sword and immediately happily ran off.  Half an hour later, there was a post on the Chinese forum: “The story that must be told between me and Gentle Breeze Flying Snow”.  This post quickly rose and it received many forum coins that surprised us!  This kid really was quite thoughtful!

I started calling out and Ling Yue and Ling Xue quickly sold their things.  After they finished selling their stuff, they helped me call out on both the left and right since they were bored.

“This handsome brother, buy a Bronze Axe for your girlfriend!”  Ling Xue said with a smile before turning back to whisper in my ear with a smile, “Little fool, that fellow’s girlfriend really is strange, she actually chose to be an orc……Wu, wu, wu, she looks so strong!”

I looked over to see that this female orc warrior had green skin and was completely covered in armour!

I said with a smile, “”Nonsense, that girl looks like Sister Furong.  If she chose to be a human or an elf, she wouldn’t be that pretty to begin with.  It’s better to be reborn and there’s even a wild flavour to this……Ze, ze!”

Ling Xue looked at me and said with an angry smile, “Che!  I look down on your level……”

I argued back, “How so, there’s no problem with my level at all!”

Indeed, compared to Ling Xue and Ling Yue, all other girls couldn’t compare.  Ling Xue and Ling Yue chose to be the elf race, but they weren’t that different from their original appearance.  It was just that their sharp ears were a bit cute.

At this time, there was a system notification that rang out through Sunset City that lasted for close to ten minutes.

“Ding~!”

System notification: Players, please note that since a player has already reached level 60, the servers of all countries will shut down in 128 minutes for a server patch.  This will last for eighteen hours and the game will punctually open at 18:00 tomorrow.  After the game reopens, all the first grade main cities of all countries will be open.  The King’s Return competition will be open in three days, please check the details on the official website!

“Ding~!”

System notification: The Chinese Server’s White Cloud City and Gentle Wind City will open tomorrow at 18:00.  The city that you belong to has been folded into White Cloud City!

……

There was a countdown in the upper right corner.  In two hours, which was midnight, the servers would shut down!  They would open again tomorrow at six in the afternoon!

So after spending another half hour, the four other Ripper Swords were sold.  The girls of Xue Yue all logged off.

Sword Flame Dragon Soul sent me a message, “What should we do for the King’s Return?  Will you form a team with Ling Xue and Ling Yue?”

I replied, “Un, you can make your own team!  Good luck!”

“Un, take care of Purple Rhyme!”

“Alright!”

I wasn’t in a rush to log off, I first repaired my equipment and bought some potions.  Then I parked my character at the Sunset City’s transport gate, so I could get on as soon as possible tomorrow and strive to be the first to reach White Cloud City!
