Chapter 350: Casanova
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Honestly, the loot Qin Ruo retrieved from the Graveyard of the Gods had been the source of his happiness as well as torture for the past few days.
Legendary Equipnt, Pet Eggs, Magic Skill Books, Enchantnt Gemstones, and Mana Core... Setting those things aside, he was still dazzled by the abundant Dark Gold Equipnt in his storage.
Previously, it was difficult to obtain even one of them. He never expected that a chance event would allow him to stuff his Vault full with Dark Gold items.
Violet Orchid had brought him a pair of Legendary Frostplain Greaves and two Dark Gold Aquamancer Class Equipnt. She also hinted at Brother Da and Gold Digger Babe to avoid equipping Dark Gold Equipnt before their level improved. In addition, Little Apple and iLittle Arrow also opted not to put on high-tier equipnt for the ti being. So, Qin Ruo had run out of ideas on how to deal with the excessive spoils lying in his vault. Furthermore, a large part of it did not actually match the Job Class of his current party mbers.
“Why don’t you bring it to the Trading Hall in Moonrise City?” Violet Orchid suggested to Qin Ruo.
“Trading Hall?” His expression darkened as he had obviously never heard of the place.
That was when Brother Da interjected, “Oh, the Trading Hall? It’s a new type of trade. It was launched just three days ago. A bastard by the na Casanova created it. He formulated a new trading policy and patented it through the H&G headquarters. His trade aims to profit by charging a commission from sellers who use the Trading Hall. Players like us only need to bring our equipnt there, provide details, our target price, and set the period of consignnt. Whoever visits the Trading Hall can then check the consigned goods based on the systemized categories.”
Thanks to Brother Da’s in-depth explanation, Qin Ruo gradually understood how the Trading Hall operated.
The Trading Hall depended greatly on the ga’s recording system. It would automatically record the attribute of the consigned goods and match it with the existing database. That way, a storage vault or sale list would no longer be required. The rchant could effortlessly sort out the different types of equipnt and price tags simply by utilizing the system’s algorithms.
Once a custor found his or her desired item and offered a price higher than the one set by the seller, the transaction would be completed automatically by the system again if no counter-offer was proposed after a period of ti. One percent of the transaction fee would be absorbed by the system as commission and fifty percent out of the one percent commission would be distributed to the Trading Hall.
Besides, the Trading Hall also provided service to players who did not wish to sell their high-tier equipnt in the form of gold coins. The player only needed to pay a certain amount of service charge and the Trading Hall employee would then provide the most professional equipnt query service. Once the equipnt that fit the player’s requirent ca into sight, the Trading Hall would imdiately notify the seller. This would go on until the seller was satisfied with the equipnt, and authorized the trade by paying the processing fees that corresponded to the equipnt price.
“Bravo!” Qin Ruo complinted sincerely. ‘In this world, so people earn through physical effort, so through professional skills, while a rare group earns using their wits. The latter is certainly the most powerful as they have complete dominance over the forr two groups!’
A rchant was commonly known as the dullest non-combat class in the ga world. It relied on the business acun of an individual player to calculate cost-profit and earn a living in the virtual world.
What Casanova had done was unprecedented. He easily earned a fortune by intelligently drafting out a unique policy never seen before. Although the 0.5% commission seed to be a little low, the Trading Hall business was completely monopolized by its creator. In other words, no other rchant Class player would be able to emulate his success or compete with him.
What was more impressive was the fact Casanova deliberately put the ga system’s algorithms into the mix. That indirectly tied the Trading Hall to the H&G corporation. It was not difficult to imagine that with official support, the trade was going to develop exponentially soon. Once it spread to the entire Mythical Continent and reached every single player in that virtual world, the 0.5% processing fee would beco an astronomical amount.

Though amazed, Qin Ruo did not dwell on it for too long.
After all, not everyone enjoyed such a life. Qin Ruo, for instance, was the kind who preferred stability and was less adventurous in nature. After he agreed to Violet Orchid’s suggestion, he transferred the Pet Eggs into the Sharing Column for Little Apple, iLittle Arrow, and Gold Digger Babe to choose. anwhile, he took a closer look at the three new equipnt in his backpack.

Although the Legendary Equipnt did not have outstanding attributes, it did provide two prominent advantages.
It provided a 20% reduction in approaching Fire Elent Damage. Combined with the Iceris Cape’s 10% resistance and Aquamancer’s passive Fire Resistance trait, he could basically ignore Pyromancer attacks during a battle with this equipnt set on.
Prolonging the Frozen Effect for one second was very practical too. It was especially useful against Boss monsters, whereby the extra second often decided the outco.
The Bladefrost Gauntlet and Iceris Cape were handpicked by Violet Orchid as well as Slayer’s Heart from their Bauhinia League marketplace, so no doubt, the two items matched Qin Ruo’s taste very much. Besides the enhanced Condensation Speed, the Snowblade Burst was a rather great passive to have too.
He was only slightly disappointed that he could not put on the Frostplain Greaves just yet, as the level restriction was 45 and above.

On the surface, Qin Ruo already had a full set of Dark Gold Equipnt when he put on the Bladefrost Gauntlet and Iceris Cape The Greaves and Boots were covered by his Dark Gold Robe*). With the new gear on, Qin Ruo looked more daunting than ever.
In the process of changing, the new masters of the three Pet Eggs were decided. The outco was just as Qin Ruo had expected.
The youngest Gold Digger Babe and iLittle Arrow picked the Three-tailed Terratoise and Darksteel Snowsnail respectively. They tacitly left the most promising Lethal Balrog to Little Apple.
“Okay, get ready everyone. Little Apple and both of you, bind with your Pet. After that, go and stock up on so potions. We’ll go to the Trading Hall together later. This is only the second day after the event ended, so this should be the peak period of people selling off their high-tier equipnt. We should go and check it out. Perhaps we can get so good stuff out of it.”
“True that!” Qin Ruo nodded eagerly. He was still wearing two Gold Tier Equipnt, and he could not wait to replace them with Dark Gold ones. After all, he had almost perfected all of his Water Elent Spells to either Master or Advance Tier, plus he had successfully assimilated most of his skills. It was about ti to boost his Defense and Attack with the help of so equipnt.
However, Qin Ruo’s primary target to trade his two Legendary Equipnt, Darkscale Skelewing Rope, and Helm of Storms remained. If he was allowed to trade for a high-tier Aquamancer Class equipnt, he would even be willing to offer the Thunder-Type Divinity he had in possession.
Fusion with Divinity was not elental specific. Any player was free to fuse with any type of Divinity. More than six Tier 5 Supre Champions from both the Angel and Demon Factions had already fused with Divinity thus far. Despite that, Qin Ruo still subconsciously felt that it was best to fuse with Divinity of the sa Elent type.
Those players who had fused with Divinity of different Elent types so soon were indeed formidable now and even jumped to beco the strongest among the Tier 5 Supre Champions. However, they may, at so point, regret such an impulsive decision in the future.
Qin Ruo still had ample ti left, so he was not rushing it.
Right then, he was looking forward to visiting the Trading Hall. He wondered whether there was anything in there that could tempt him to splurge on.
