The Prosperous Dynasty, as a T1 tier large guild in the country, had top-notch strength and influence.
After entering "Pinnacle," they recruited on a large scale, causing their power to expand crazily.
They monopolized the leveling area in the Western Forest of the Novice Village and seized all the stalls, clearly intending to dominate the resources of Novice Village No. 142857!
But Jiang Yan wasn't going to let them have their way.
He directly revealed the attributes of the [Tiger Blade] and [Boar Armguards] and loudly announced to the surrounding players, "Selling the rare Tiger Blade and Boar Armguards, highest bidder wins!!"
Prosperous Peddler's face changed, "Kid, if you offend our Prosperous Dynasty, do you still want to survive in this game!!"
Jiang Yan couldn't be bothered with such a minor character.
By now, many players had gathered around to check the attributes of the [Tiger Blade] and [Boar Armguards].
"Wow, a Tiger Blade with +3 attack, a rare gem, this could sell for dozens of Silver Coins, right?"
"Was this weapon dropped from killing a tiger?"
"How could it be, who can kill a tiger at this stage?"
"Brother, where did you get this weapon and armguards?"
A cacophony of voices filled the air, yet no one made an offer.
Jiang Yan frowned.
He was still thinking about that Bronze Boss and didn't want to waste too much time here: "Ten minutes, if no one bids in ten minutes, I'm leaving."
"Brother, sell me the [Tiger Blade] for 30 Copper Coins!" A solo player offered with a fawning expression.
Jiang Yan's face twitched, your offer is even worse than Prosperous Dynasty's!
"This [Tiger Blade] is something our Prosperous Dynasty has set its sights on, anyone who dares to bid will face the consequences!!" Prosperous Peddler panicked.
"I offer 50 Silver Coins!" A burly man squeezed into the crowd, clad in common equipment, his name openly displayed: Heart of Darkness!
"Heart of Darkness? He's one of the four hall masters of the Dark Empire, I didn't expect him to be in our Novice Village!!"
"Haha, both the Dark Empire and Prosperous Dynasty are T1 tier guilds, this is going to be interesting."
The surrounding players whispered, retreating to give Jiang Yan, Heart of Darkness, and Prosperous Peddler space.
Prosperous Peddler trembled slightly.
He was just a small fry in the Prosperous Dynasty, while the other was one of the four hall masters. Even his own superior would have to keep his head down before this man, how could he dare to talk tough?
As for bidding, he was told the maximum was 10 Silver Coins.
"10 Silver Coins!" Prosperous Peddler gritted his teeth, "Kid, if you sell it to me for 10 Silver Coins, you'll become one of us in the Prosperous Dynasty!!"
"What is the Prosperous Dynasty? Just a bunch of petty schemers!" Heart of Darkness sneered, looking at Jiang Yan, "Brother, if the Prosperous Dynasty gives you trouble, come to our Dark Empire!"
Jiang Yan nodded silently, Heart of Darkness seemed like a good man!
"Anyone else want to bid?" Jiang Yan asked while opening the forum to check equipment prices.
At this stage, the mainstream equipment was still common, and after several hours, many players had already obtained equipment and it had flowed into the market.
Thanks to the ridiculous drop rate, common equipment with +1 attributes was worth 1~3 Silver Coins, +2 attributes 5~10 Silver Coins, and +3 attributes skyrocketed to 30~50!
Heart of Darkness directly offered the top price of 50 Silver Coins, showing his sincerity!
As for the surrounding onlookers, although there were many, not one made an offer.
In the early stages, there were many monsters and few players, with low drop rates. Unless it was a guild like Prosperous Dynasty or Dark Empire that had already formed cohesion, it was difficult for others to gather so many Silver Coins!
"Then this [Tiger Blade] will be sold to Brother Heart of Darkness!" Jiang Yan walked over to Heart of Darkness and initiated a trade request.
"Hold on." Heart of Darkness declined the trade, "I'll buy that [Boar Armguards] for 10 Silver Coins, how about it?"
"Deal!" Jiang Yan was eager to sell the equipment together.
His only worry was whether Heart of Darkness really had that many Silver Coins.
Fortunately, he was overthinking it, as Heart of Darkness directly initiated the trade.
Jiang Yan placed the [Tiger Blade] and [Boar Armguards] up, while Heart of Darkness placed 60 Silver Coins.
Both parties clicked trade, and the transaction was successfully completed.
"Brother, add me as a friend. If you get any equipment in the future, our Dark Empire will buy it, and the price will definitely satisfy you!" Heart of Darkness said.
"Sure!" Jiang Yan didn't want to encounter such forced buying and selling again, having a fixed trading partner was a good thing.
The two immediately added each other as friends.
"Then I'll be off." After adding Heart of Darkness as a friend, Jiang Yan quickly left.
...
Meanwhile.
In the Western Forest.
After gradually encroaching and occupying various leveling points here, Prosperous Young Master Wang leveled up crazily, quickly reaching level 3, and then, with four teammates who also reached level 3, aggressively started exploring Boarwood.
With excellent maneuvering, seamless cooperation, and ample Health and Mana Potions, they quickly cleared boars and discovered the Boar King, a Bronze Grade Boss, within half an hour!
Boar King (Bronze Boss): Possesses formidable dual resistances!
Level: lv5
HP: 7800
Skills: Savage Charge (briefly charges before ramming the target, with a chance to stun), Berserk (greatly increases attack and speed at the cost of losing sanity)
"Young Master Wang, we can't handle this Boss." The burly Assassin player Prosperous Venomless immediately said.
"How will we know if we don't try?" Prosperous Young Master Wang was undeterred; this Boar King might be the first Boss in "Pinnacle," and if their Prosperous Dynasty took it down, it would greatly enhance their guild's reputation and influence!
So no matter how difficult, they had to kill it!!
"Charge!!" Prosperous Young Master Wang raised the Goat Blade high and charged at the Boar King: Slash!!
Buzz!
White sword energy formed in his Goat Blade, striking heavily on the Boar King's rear.
-59
A glaring damage number floated above the Boar King's head!
"How can this be?!" Prosperous Young Master Wang's face changed.
His 12 free attribute points at level 3 were all added to Constitution, plus his B-Rank Talent Physical Penetration, he could deal over a hundred damage to regular boars with one skill, but on the Boss, it was halved!!
At this moment, his four teammates' attacks also landed.
"Multi-Shot!" Prosperous Arrow fired two arrows in succession!
"Backstab!" Prosperous Venomless's dagger viciously stabbed into the Boar King's neck!
"Fireball!" *2
Prosperous Mage King and Prosperous Mage Saint each released a fist-sized fireball.
Boom boom boom...
-19-18
-34
-39
-41
A series of pitiful damage numbers floated above the Boar King's head, the five of them together only managed to take 210 HP from the Boar King! This chapter was copied from novelping(.)com without permission.
Compared to its 7800 HP, it was like a drop in the bucket!!
"Roar!!"
The Boar King roared in pain, shaking its head and swinging its tail, knocking Prosperous Young Master Wang and Prosperous Venomless aside, then activated its skill.
Savage Charge!
Boom!!
The Boar King turned into a blur, trampling over Prosperous Young Master Wang, Prosperous Venomless, and others one by one!
-170
-197
-210
-211
-222
Scarlet damage numbers exploded from their heads, and with just one charge, the low-HP Prosperous Mage King, Prosperous Mage Saint, and Archer Prosperous Arrow were turned into white light and disappeared.
Prosperous Young Master Wang was shocked, he himself only had just over 400 HP, unable to withstand the Boar King's continuous charge, he turned to run.
But he didn't get far before the Boar King caught up!
Boom!!
-170
Under the glaring damage, Prosperous Young Master Wang's HP was on the brink of depletion.
The Boar King grunted and rammed repeatedly, clearing Prosperous Young Master Wang's HP in a few hits!
Bang!
Prosperous Young Master Wang turned into white light and disappeared, even dropping the Goat Blade he held!
Prosperous Venomless intended to take the opportunity to leave, but seeing the Goat Blade, he hesitated for a moment, and in that moment of hesitation, the Boar King charged with a roar!
-170
Prosperous Venomless had no resistance, turning into white light and disappearing.
...
"Damn it, damn it!!"
At the Revival Point in the Novice Village, Prosperous Young Master Wang walked out with a dark expression, full of unwillingness and regret: "Damn Boar King, my Goat Blade!!"
"Young Master Wang, don't worry." Prosperous Venomless followed closely behind, "I just got news from the stalls, a player is selling a rare weapon with +3 attack!"
"+3 attack?!" Prosperous Young Master Wang was overjoyed, his Goat Blade was only +1, nothing compared to +3!!
Especially now that they've found a Bronze Boss, they urgently needed a rare weapon!!
"Buy that weapon at all costs!" Prosperous Young Master Wang ordered fiercely.
"The stalls are all ours, it should have been bought already." Prosperous Venomless contacted Prosperous Peddler, and after a while, his face slowly darkened.
"Don't tell me the weapon was bought by someone else." Prosperous Young Master Wang's face also turned ugly.
"It was... it was bought by Heart of Darkness." Prosperous Venomless said, bracing himself.
"Heart of Darkness? Damn bastard, fuck him!!" Prosperous Young Master Wang raged, "That bastard always targets me, if I don't make him quit the game, I'll take his surname! And that guy selling the equipment, daring to sell weapons to others on our Prosperous Dynasty's turf, does he not respect us?!"
"Young Master Wang, what do you mean?" Prosperous Venomless asked quietly.
"Kill them! Whether it's Heart of Darkness or the one selling the weapon, hunt them until they quit!!" Prosperous Young Master Wang roared, "I want everyone to see the consequences of disrespecting our Prosperous Dynasty!!"
