"Opponents came by airship from other cities, and the transaction was completed yesterday," said Old Fei.
Xiao Hua speculated that the other party was also one of the people who saw the whirlwind cutting in Baihucheng. Only those who knew the whirlwind cutting was so powerful would pay such attention to the forum and then travel thousands of miles from other cities. Cyclone cutting requires two-handed weapon expertise. As long as it meets the learning conditions and learns to use it, it can make the body rotate at a high speed. The two weapons are like a cyclone in an instant, causing four consecutive hits to the target. The damage output is very considerable. Moreover, when the agility reaches a certain level, it may also cause six consecutive hits or even eight consecutive hits!
When he learned that someone had beaten him to it, Xiao Hua couldn't help but show disappointment in his eyes.
Old Fei's sharp eyes certainly didn't miss Xiao Hua's changes, and he laughed and said, "Brother, you don't need to be disappointed. If this book is auctioned through my auction house, I guarantee that the price will be at least five million gold coins!"
Xiao Hua shook his head instead. The day of the Icebound Union's challenge to the Frost Wyrm was tomorrow, and by then the auction would have already started. However, it wouldn't hurt to store the books with them first and let them use a mandatory skill card for now. It wasn't a bad idea.
But Xiao Hua's immediate rejection made Old Fei anxious. If "Ice and Snow" could be auctioned, under his operation, it would certainly make the name of the treasure trove known to everyone in the small half of the Chinese territory, and the value of this is self-evident!
"Actually, we have another freedom skill book suitable for you to use here. It's also a restricted skill!"
Xiao Hua, upon hearing this, became interested and said, "Oh, can I see what kind of skill it is?"
Old Fei has already taken out the skill book and handed it to Xiao Hua.
"The Real Illusion": A restricted skill book, which can be learned by classes with power or agility above level one. It allows you to learn the skill "The Real Illusion", which splits a duplicate of yourself that is exactly like you. The duplicate cannot eat medicine and does not accept recovery skills, and has half the attack power of your true body.
Xiao Hua frowned, then smiled and said to Old Fei, "Fei boss, are you joking?"
"Haha, I'm not stealing from my brother. This skill book is definitely not as good as the one in your hands, but the clone has half of the attack power, which will shorten the time spent fighting monsters significantly. In an emergency, it can also be used to confuse enemies and monsters. If used properly, its effect is still quite significant." Old Fei chuckled twice, explaining with a somewhat weak voice.
"In a crisis, it does have some use, but in terms of fighting monsters, Mr. Fei, don't you think you haven't considered what would happen if your clone couldn't break through the defense after half of your attack power was reduced? Even if it could barely break through the defense, the damage would be pitifully low, and it can almost be guaranteed that against bosses, the chance for the clone to break through the defense is almost zero!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Xiao's eyes are sharp. He can see the flaws of this book at a glance. I admire him." The biggest drawback of the false reality that was exposed by Xiao Hua, Old Fei had no embarrassment at all and instead praised him openly.
"The Real Illusion," this book was already in the hands of Old Fee. According to the player who sold it, it was a reward for completing a random task ring. Because he borrowed a large sum of money to complete the task, he had to sell it to repay his debts. Although Old Fee is not a combat player, he keenly noticed the drawbacks of "The Real Illusion" and even the skill introduction clearly stated that, even if he wanted to hide it, it would be impossible.
Although Old Fei felt that as a limited skill, since it has such disadvantages, there must be something special about it, but the problem is that before learning it, no one knows if it really has some extraordinary advantages. This uncertainty greatly limits the book's apparent value, regardless of how much he promotes it, someone will exaggerate its shortcomings and make people ignore the possible hidden value within.
Because of this reason, an extremely rare skill book with limited copies has been in his hands for more than half a month without knowing how to deal with it. If it were Xiao Hua's "Ice and Snow", under his operational methods, not only would people in Piaoxue City know about it, but nearby cities would also be greatly affected by it.
"Mr. Fei, I was about to put 'The Real Illusion' back in the warehouse, but Xiao Hua suddenly said slowly, "Mr. Fei, if I want to exchange 'Ice and Snow' for your 'The Real Illusion', what kind of compensation can you offer?"
When Old Fei heard this, he was stunned for a moment before his heart filled with joy. His mind quickly began to work.
"I won't hide it from you, Brother. The price I paid for 'The Real Illusion' was not very high. It's a fixed price, and I will compensate you with three million gold coins! This price is honest to say, definitely lower than the auction price. If you are not satisfied, I strongly recommend that you auction this book here. We can offer you diamond member treatment, only charging a commission of 2%!" Old Fei quickly made his decision.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
"Mr. Fei, add two mandatory skill cards to the deal, and we'll close it." Xiao Hua had no major objections. The most important thing now was to get the mandatory skill cards, and in order to obtain them quickly, they could only rely on auction houses like this giant.
"No problem, wait a moment, I'll get someone to bring it." Old Fei is a straightforward person. Although the forced skill card is rarer and more precious than purple equipment, this one-time item is not something ordinary people would use. Even with its rarity, a forced skill card costs only eight to ten thousand gold coins. He also has some in stock here.
Fay's subordinates are very efficient. In less than a minute, they brought two compulsory skill cards in.
Fei and Xiao Hua traded, holding "Ice and Snow", he couldn't help but feel excited. He could already foresee how much of an impact this skill book would have! His luck was really good, others couldn't even see a restricted skill book, but he already had two in his hands!
"By the way, I almost forgot. This diamond member card is a gift from me to my brother. Let's be friends. With this card, you can enjoy a 90% discount when buying items at our store downstairs, and there will be a special VIP room for auctions, with a low commission of only 2% on auctioned items!" Old Fei handed over a shiny card to Xiao Hua, who looked at it and found that it was actually a transaction binding function card, which could not be stolen or dropped.
"Mr. Fei, I'll leave first. You go ahead." After putting "The Real Illusion" in the warehouse, Xiao Hua smiled and left the room.
Xiao Hua left not long after, and a thin young man with short black hair walked in. Old Fei asked in a low voice, "How is it? What's the result of the identification?"
"Stealing a man's wife is a profession, level 19, no guild, with skills of stealing, appraisal, gathering, sewing, fishing, cooking, stealth, poison making, injury, and reading." The thin black-clothed man said slowly.
"What about skill levels?" Mr. Fei frowned and asked.
"Unable to identify, his appraisal technique is also master level!" The skinny young man's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance!
"What? Is he the one who stole your master-level appraisal reward?" Old Fei was greatly surprised. The person in front of him was a professional appraiser that they had cultivated from the beginning of the game. Unlike Xiao Hua, who was a part-time appraiser, the skinny young man's profession was an appraiser. These professional appraisers could identify all the information of their opponents if their appraisal skills were lower than theirs, including names, professions, skills and levels.
In the past year, the skinny man has been desperately training in the art of appraisal in order to obtain the master's reward. But after finally reaching the master level, he discovered that someone had beaten him to it.
"This cannot be determined, after all, there are many professional appraisers in the Chinese region. However, he must have started practicing skills since entering the game and only recently began leveling up. Otherwise, his level would not be so low, but his skills would have reached master level. I'm afraid that he has not only mastered the appraisal technique to master level, but also other skills may have two or three at master level. This person is very promising!" The skinny young man had no expression on his face, but he spoke highly of Xiao Hua.
When Old Fei heard this, he looked at "Ice and Snow" in his hand and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
The day of the Icebound Union's action is tomorrow. Xiao Hua must hide in the Thousand Year Ice Lake before noon tomorrow to avoid being caught by the other side if they seal off the road too early. Otherwise, all his efforts over these days will be wasted. Right now, he needs to first raise his level to 20, complete the advanced task, and learn "The Real Illusion". After advancing to the next level, no matter how he dies, his level will not drop below 20.
Now he's a millionaire who made his fortune overnight, a true nouveau riche! A nouveau riche should have the demeanor of a nouveau riche. Xiao Hua went down to the lobby of the treasure house and said to the MM behind the counter, "Give me 40 sets of magic bombs!"
Magic bombs are a magical high-tech product that can ignore monster defenses and cause 300 points of damage to monsters below level 30. It's also a good thing for group attacks, but the only problem is that it's too expensive, costing 10 gold coins each, making it an unaffordable luxury item for most people.
A set of magic bombs, 100 pieces in total, which is 1000 gold coins. With 40 sets, it's a whopping 40,000 gold coins! The player store needs player workers, and the girl behind the counter is also a player. When she heard the astonishing number of 40 sets, she thought she had misheard and asked in confirmation, "40 sets?"
Seeing Xiao Hua nod, MM happily took it out. These cashiers who work in the game also get commissions. Selling such a large amount of goods at once can earn quite a lot of commission.
After a 90% discount, after paying 36,000 gold coins, he suddenly lost one percent of his money. Xiao Hua felt that he really had the talent for being extravagant, but unfortunately his father had already ruined the family, and it was not his turn to show off.
When he went out to the 20-level leveling point outside the city, Xiao Hua found a respawn point and summoned four or five monsters at once. He then started smashing them with magic bombs.
Although it was night, under the moonlight, the ice plains and snowy ground were still bright white, without any sense of darkness. Even so, the light and shadow effects of the magic bombs at night remained vivid. One after another, like thunderbolts and lightning, white lights accompanied by loud noises flashed across the ice plains and snowy ground, even visible from hundreds of meters away in the distance.
"Damn, which wasteful son of a bitch!" One of the warrior players who had seen the magic bomb's light and shadow effect couldn't help but curse angrily. It was too wasteful. In just this short time, hundreds of gold coins had already been spent.
"Haha, it's so generous!" Looking at the experience points pouring in, Xiao Hua felt a sense of satisfaction. I'm not leveling up my skills, I'm leveling up my loneliness!
For two hours, he bombarded and attacked fiercely. In the process, several female players who came to admire him shouted excitedly, "Brother, you're so handsome, take me with you!"
But Xiao Hua is about to get married, how could he be tempted by them? More importantly, these people he looked at seemed like they should be called sisters more often. Their appearance was quite ordinary, if they had even a tenth of Zhou Xiaorou's beauty, no, a ninth, he might consider it.
Another batch of small monsters was killed, and a familiar blue light appeared, an elite monster!
