Chapter 321: Baili Xuanyuan’s Return
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The news that the three experts, Codena Lone Wolf, Ophadi Wantless, and Dostic Fat Cattle, were peddling high-grade items along a commoner’s street spread like wildfire within City of Light, Sunshine City, and a dozen other cities under 30 minutes. Teleportation glimrs shone as a large number of players arrived.
Fat Cattle and Wantless were still alright as they were Mages. Despite their rapid farming speed, the monsters’ levels were usually around their respective levels. However, the situation was drastically different for Lin Jie, who had been mass-farming countless Enhanced Elites and dueling high-level Bosses alone. Thus, he had collected twice the amount of loot as compared to the other two. This also made his rchandise the hardest to sell, as it was beyond the average levels of players currently. Many of the players also lacked the initiative to prepare for their futures.
In actual fact, when the mainstream players would reach about Level 40, Lin Jie’s items would be highly popular! Of course, only their popularity but not the price would rise.
While the three of them were peddling enthusiastically, a teasing voice sounded. “Yo, Brother Lone Wolf, long ti no see. Did you miss ?”
Lin Jie stood up instantly! The Silver-Feathered Eagle shot out and locked its target on a person!
The man was clad in tattered clothing while holding a wooden sword in hand. He looked just like a poor and dirty beggar that had been living in those plague-infected villages.
However, his arrival caused Lin Jie’s heart to sink. This man was the slavery boss that had been rumored to rise again—Baili Xuanyuan! However, why did he look like that now? Moreover, how dares he still strut into the City of Light despite being on the wanted list after his failed invasion?
“Why? Do you wonder why I am able to appear here?” A refined smile grew on Baili Xuanyuan’s dirty face, which only seed contrasting, as he spoke. “Since the Simon Pirates’ failed business plan, a Level 50 Great Druid has been wreaking havoc in the City of Elves, and that destroyed all my businesses. Countless efforts destroyed just like that. My losses are innurable. Hence, I could only seek the Holy Church and the Empire’s help by spending a fortune in exchange to be a free man again. This is all your fault.”
Since Baili Xuanyuan’s slave trade had been exposed and destroyed, the Great Druid that had been rescued by Lin Jie had turned insane due to her sister’s death. She had gathered evidence on Baili Xuanyuan selling slaves through all types of ans and submitted it to the Parliant. After that, the Parliant had encircled Baili Xuanyuan’s village and cast a curse. They had cursed Baili Xuanyuan to suffer from endless pursuit as long as he was within the City of Elves!
This was out of Lin Jie’s expectations.
Baili Xuanyuan was extrely ruthless! He had given up the accumulated equipnt and ranks for freedom! He had co to understand that nothing in the ga was constant, and spending over a month in jail was equivalent to the doom of all his businesses!
Lin Jie scoffed. “Hehe, I don’t deserve your complints. Amongst so many players, you are the only perverse person that’s able to enslave and traffic NPCs. Disregarding the rest, you must have made a ton of money from one Flying-Wing Cargo Ship, and that’s probably an understatent. You have already earned two or three ships’ worth, right? Loss is nothing to you, don’t let laugh my head off.”
Baili Xuanyuan’s eyebrows rose as he did not expect Lin Jie to be so knowledgeable about the slavery profits. He shook his head and said, “That aside, we are already old enemies. To be honest, I still regard you with so respect. My goal for this trip is very simple, I am just here to purchase so items and increase my abilities. Brother Lone Wolf, since you are here to do business, I believe that you won’t reject a big custor like myself?”
Lin Jie tossed Baili Xuanyuan an odd look. The items that he was selling were around Level 35 – 40, which was above average. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had no business until now.
‘Baili Xuanyuan wants to purchase these high-grade items in bulk? Could it be that his guild mbers are all Level 40?’
‘Impossible!’
Based on Lin Jie’s knowledge on Baili Xuanyuan, if there was such great power in the guild, word would have spread, and havoc would have been wrecked.
“Why? Brother Lone Wolf, are you afraid of increasing my abilities?” said Baili Xuanyuan jokingly. “Brother, it’s normal to be cautious. How about this, I offer twice the price. I want the high-grade Mage equipnt. If you guys join Mage Heavens, I will offer 10 tis the price to purchase your loots,” he added magnanimously.
“10 tis the price! Silver equipnt can be sold for the sa price as Gold?”
“Baili Xuanyuan, I heard of him before. He is the Chairman of Mage Heaven! He was the one that launched the attack to take control of City of Light, but failed in the end.”
“He went missing after the failed attack, and now he is an unkempt grade 0. I don’t believe he has much money!”
“Are you dumb? He is poor? How would he dare to buy all the equipnt if he was poor?”
Everyone was both shocked and tempted by Baili Xuanyuan’s tyrannic aura. Hence, soone asked, “Brother, if I were to join the guild, what benefits would I receive?”
Baili Xuanyuan smiled slightly. “The price of all loots will be twice that of Sky Provisions’ Shop! Furthermore, everyone that joins will receive a high-grade Silver item as a welco gift!”
Everyone was shocked.
Twice the price! This ant that as long as one joined the guild, the cash inco every month would be of a significant amount! Instantly, over a dozen players joined the guild, and Baili Xuanyuan issued out an equal amount of Level 25 Silver equipnt at the sa ti. The heat grew in the audience’s eyes.
Lin Jie regarded Baili Xuanyuan’s recruitnt coldly. Wantless and Fat Cattle were not too happy either. They glared hatefully at the fellow that had stolen the attention they originally had.
Dostic Fat Cattle grinned and said, “Acquisition at 10 tis the price?”
“Of course!” Baili Xuanyuan let out a smile.
“Okay, I will join! This is the Freeze Set, plus a few other items that are of no use to . You can purchase them all!” said Fat Cattle as he gestured.
“Of course, I always treat my brothers sincerely and generously.” Baili Xuanyuan revealed gold coins, which were piled into a small hill, and proceeded with the deal.
That was a total of 8,000 gold coins!
Dostic Fat Cattle was a Fire Mage, and coupled with the Dark Gold fragnts, his farming rate was insanely high. It was no surprise that his loots were worth 800 coins, and 10 tis of that was 8,000 coins!
“Okay, thanks.” Dostic Fat Cattle held the coins, grinned, and said, “Are there any benefits since an expert such as myself joined the guild?”
“Of course!” Baili Xuanyuan replied thoughtfully, “What’s more enticing to experts than leveling up? Mage Heavens will provide with 10 expert Warriors daily for training.”
Ding~
—”Player Dostic Fat Cattle has left the guild.”
Baili Xuanyuan was stunned.
“I didn’t join to be tortured! You didn’t even give any chicks, and yet you are sending people to torture ? What a lousy guild.” Dostic Fat Cattle scoffed and stuffed his coins into his pocket.
‘I finally had the chance to shine in front of a pretty girl! I will disregard the fact the Lone Wolf stole my lilight, but even a rookie like you is doing that as well? I am gonna scam you!’ he thought.
This train of thought held high similarity to a certain Ophadi...
“I want to join,” said Wantless without much emotion, which was a drastic difference from Dostic Fat Cattle. His indifferent aura made him look like an expert.
Baili Xuanyuan relaxed as he thought that that expert should be more reliable. Ophadi Wantless’s loot quantity might not be comparable to Fat Cattle, however, it took a total of 13,000 gold coins to acquire all of them.
When Ophadi received the sum of money, surprise still flickered in his eyes. He was amongst the top few most influential players. It was already incredible if one month’s worth of equipnt could be sold for 1,300 gold coins, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of cash. Now that he had t such a foolish spendthrift, his profit was tenfold.
Wantless blinked and asked, “I should have so benefits from joining the guild, right?”
“Of course!” Baili Xuanyuan felt light-hearted as he replied hatefully, “20 beauties of your choice from the front desk, you can even have them in real life!”
Ding~
—”Player Wantless has left the guild.”
Ophadi raised his eyelids. “I am here to improve my abilities! A guild with only pretty girls and money, what use is that to ?”
Baili Xuanyuan finally understood that these two were playing with him. His heart was bleeding with the monetary loss! Although he had gained several high-grade items, that had cost him around 20,000 gold coins!
Lin Jie walked toward Baili Xuanyuan slowly and grinned. “Chairman...”
“Lone Wolf!” Baili Xuanyuan noticed Lin Jie’s facial expression and retreated several steps as though soone stepped on a cat’s tail. “Don’t go overboard!”
Lin Jie scratched his head and said in an innocent tone, “I didn’t bully you, how can you lie like that?”
“Enough! I ca to you with sincerity, but you guys treated like dirt. We have nothing more to discuss! I will purchase these items with the market price, do you dare to deal?” Since Baili Xuanyuan’s recruitnt techniques did not succeed, he resorted to radicalism.
“Nope.” Lin Jie nodded sincerely.
Baili Xuanyuan was helpless as he faced such a stubborn opponent but still could not hide his greed as he glanced at the pile of loots. He needed a large quantity of Level 40 items to complete a critical mission. However, how many players could get their hands on Level 40 equipnt in the New Age? Only monsters above Level 45 could drop Level 40 equipnt, making those items ultra-rare.
Baili Xuanyuan had gone around to bulk-purchase those items, but the amount he had acquired in one week was less than 1/3 of Lin Jie’s. That was why he had still been willing to play along with Dostic Fat Cattle and Wantless at the start, even though he had a vague feeling that they had been playing him. It might seem that it was not worth it to purchase the items at 10 tis the market value, but the reward he would receive from completing the mission was multifold as compared to that.
He had to get those items!
“Ten tis!” Since the situation had reached this stage, Baili Xuanyuan’s ruthlessness showed its face. Wasn’t it just money? Even if he suffered bleeding losses, it was still okay. As long as he could the Level 40 items, everything would be smooth from then on!
Lin Jie’s eyes rolled, but a playful smile grew.
Behind Baili Xuanyuan, the number of solo players that wanted to join Mage Heavens grew. After all, the ultimate goal of most of the players, apart from enjoying life, was to earn.
Amongst them were many solo players, such as Dragon Slayer Knight and Sardine, that Lin Jie had high expectations of. They were on the fence and couldn’t make a decision. Although they held the Brotherhood in high regard, pure profit was in front of their eyes. They could also be like the previous two Mages, who had joined the guild just to sell their equipnt, and then quit, couldn’t they?
“Chairman Xuanyuan is so generous with his money. However, the City of Light is still Brotherhood’s territory. It is understandable that other guilds such as Triumphant Midnight and Hunter’s Guild are recruiting, but you tried to use us and mass recruit today. It’s too much,” said Lin Jie arrogantly and glanced at the audience. “You are too naive if you think that you can use these Silver items and empty words to rope in the City of Light’s players,” he added.
A tossed stone could raise 1,000 ripples! Several players that had joined the guild were red with embarrassnt, but several more were waiting for Lone Wolf’s next move silently.
What did he want to do?
Lin Jie waved his right hand, and he bellowed, “Blue, co to now!”
Lin Jie’s stall was only a few ters away from the Blacksmith’s Shop. Thus, after his voice sounded, Master Blue had already rushed over with his apprentices carrying the burner and spinel. Soon, he stood respectively in front of Lin Jie.
“Oh my god! Blue is the only Sub-Legendary Blacksmith amongst the hundreds of Blacksmith Shops! He is receiving orders from Lone Wolf?!”
“The previous ti when I went to craft equipnt, I had to wait for 4 hours. How can the difference in treatnt be so great?”
The players began murmuring as they were shocked by Lone Wolf’s abilities.
Lin Jie glanced at Baili Xuanyuan. ‘This fella went missing for so long to accumulate wealth? He must have a motive for bulk-purchasing all these Level 40 items.’
Mage Heavens was the Three Alliances’ face. If Lin Jie did not act, they would recruit half of the players from the City of Light. Providing support for the enemy was sothing Lin Jie could not do.
He had to suppress them!
“Blue, lt all these items and give them to our fellow brothers.”
Lin Jie’s voice instantly silenced the noisy crowd!
