Chapter 278: Light and DarknessEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Continue buying! You’re trying to throw
off, Dark Wing? Not that easy!"
Defiantly Tyrannical was a ruthless man. When he heard news of Li Yi dumping his stock, not only did he not halt the stockpiling, instead, he had beco more determined. His actions even caused these price of the two herbs to rise by another 1 Silver.
Of course, it was rely 1 Silver. There was literally no way for the prices to go higher. News of Li Yi dumping his stock had begun to spread, causing the price of the two herbs to spiral down. In the end, the price stabilized at 50 Silver per set.
Defiantly Tyrannical thought that Li Yi would start buying the herbs again during the dip, but he was wrong once again. Li Yi no longer had any interest in these two herbs and instead began stockpiling Snowcrystal Flowers and Windbell Grass.
Snowcrystal Flowers and Windbell Grass were the main ingredients for crafting Interdiate-level HP Potions. Due to the huge amount of these herbs in circulation, their prices had always been quite stable. The only reason there was a fall in their price was that the average level of players had recently increased. Interdiate-level HP Potions were no longer of that much use to a majority of the players, as they were now replaced with the more efficient Advanced-level HP Potions.
"What the hell is this Dark Wing up to? Why the heck is he stockpiling these outdated herbs?" Defiantly Tyrannical was utterly confused.
"Maybe he’s trying to make so Interdiate-level HP Potions to help out the newbies of the server?" I Love Beast Beast was just as confused.
"No, it shouldn’t be sothing that simple. You guys should know best, Dark Wing isn’t so sort of idiot. After all our exchanges in the past, when did we ever get a one-up on him? How can that petty amount of profit from making low-level potions ever satisfy the guy?" The man who said this was Yang Xingchen.
"Then what should we do? Just let him buy everything out? Or do we take this opportunity to force up the market price?" I Love Beast Beast said helplessly.
Yang Xingchen shook his head and asked Defiantly Tyrannical, "Defiant, have you ever thought about this question?"
"Speak."
"What can the Light Grass and Darkness Flowers be used for? Have you ever thought about it?"
"An Advanced-level Apothecarist can use them to craft two types of special potions, the Light Resistance Potion and the Dark Resistance Potion. They’re used to counter spells of their respective types. Other than that, a Weapon Master can use them to craft so equipnt. If their skill were high, there’s a chance they could craft permanent Light and Dark Resistance equipnt."
Yang Xingchen nodded before adding, "The second expansion pack must have sothing to do with these two types of herbs."
"Mm, I think so as well. That’s why we had the guts to order our n to continue stockpiling." Defiantly Tyrannical was still extrely confident.
Although the official site only released a single picture, to so of the more observant players, it was not a difficult task to piece together what it ant.
"If you could’ve thought of it, and I could’ve thought of it, then naturally Dark Wing would’ve thought of it by now. If the prices for the two herbs would surge once the expansion pack gets released, why would he dump all his stock right now?"
After pondering for a long while, Defiantly Tyrannical finally admitted, albeit reluctantly, "You an that the current price for these two herbs had already exceeded the predicted price increase?"
"Yep..."
"It can’t be..." Defiantly Tyrannical took a deep breath.
"Send out the order, stop the stockpiling and observe the changes." Listening to Yang Xingchen’s words, Defiantly Tyrannical’s confidence shattered.
With the Three Major Guild Alliance stopping their purchases, the other players who had no idea what they were doing were just like a bunch of grass in the wind, leaning wherever the wind blew. Seeing Dark Wing dumping his stock and Defiantly Tyrannical ordering to stop all purchases, these blind followers had no clue what these herbs were used for. They did not feel safe holding on to them, so they all started dumping as well...
Within a short two days, the prices of the two herbs fell once more, reaching a new low of 20 Silver per set.
In the Auction House, if soone were to enter the na of the ingredients Light Grass and Darkness Flower, they would get a search result tens of thousands of selling posts. There was a blatant oversupply.
Li Yi still did not buy anything. He was just casually clearing his Treasure Maps and quests. If he had free ti, he would take the rmaid Princess out for a swim. As for the situation with the herbs, it seed to be the furthest thing from Li Yi’s mind right now.
’What the hell is Dark Wing thinking?’
Li Yi’s silence left the leaders of the Three Major Guild Alliance helplessly scratching their heads.
The price of the herbs continued to fall...
After nearly half a month’s ti, the rebuilding of Shattered Frost City was almost complete and the Little Drunk Cats guild map was developing nicely as they had just reached Level 7. The Black Dragon Ferrian’s head was mounted right on top of the guild’s Performance Hall, giving off an intimidating aura to anyone who entered the map.
The effect of this strategic equipnt was quite good. The Black Dragon Head reduced all opposing players’ attributes by 20%, it was equivalent to directly lowering the enemy players’ levels by more than 10 levels. If there was a war, the Little Drunk Cats would have a huge advantage.
A one-man-army capable of sweeping the floor with millions of enemies at once, Li Yi’s recent publicity had completely overshadowed all that. Saying that he was the single flashiest and the greatest player in the Eastern Continent was sothing more than 80% of the Eastern Continent players could agree on. Of course, there were a few stragglers who claim that Li Yi’s feats were overrated.
One of them was Scumbag Wang from Huashan Guild.
The Huashan Guild had lost all face in their last encounter. Not only did their ambush end in a catastrophic disaster, they got countered and even got hit by the Black Dragon’s Curse. They only managed to return back to normal after a torturous ten days. Coincidentally, Hua Feiwu had also co back online.
Although Hua Feiwu had been cruelly dealt with by Chen Mo, King of Pantheon still allowed disabled people to connect to the ga console through their brain waves, allowing them to freely play the ga.
Hua Feiwu’s two legs were gone, but in King of Pantheon, he was still as fit as a fiddle, he could still run freely in the ga. In order for him to play the ga more imrsively, he even used Hua Feihua’s stashed money to buy himself a luxury Full-Nutrient Gaming Setup, allowing him to play.
Hua Feiwu was also considered quite an amazing chap. Even after suffering that big of a shock, he seed to have paid no mind to it. This could be seen from his boisterous voice once he entered the ga once more.
"King of Pantheon, I’m back b*tches! Hahaha, have y’all missed ?"
"Muack! Your Brother Wang is still here." Scumbag Wang imdiately replied.
"Brother Wang, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I missed you so much, brother."
"Muack! Sa here."
"F*ck, why the heck are you talking like that?"
"Muack! I’ve recently learned about online shopping, shipping is included. Muack!"
"Hahaha, teach
next ti. I’ll try it out as well."
"Muack! No problem. Oh by the way, why hasn’t your sister co online? I haven’t seen her in a long ti. That phat white *ss of hers, I’ll never forget it. Every ti I think of it, my little brother would always stand upright..."
"...F*ck your momma’s *ss!"
These pair of best friends who were constantly fighting rambled on in the World Channel for hours. All their past grievances with each other seed to have been forgotten. However, because of Scumbag Wang’s scummy talk, the two started fighting again shortly after. Soon, it escalated into an all-out war...
"Huashan and Century Flower are fighting again..."
"When was there ever a ti where they aren’t fighting? Get used to it, just leave that bunch of morons alone and try not to get caught in the crossfire."
"Leave them be after they finish fighting they’ll probably instantly kiss and make up anyway."
"Let’s go watch the chaos..."
...
Li Yi’s recent leveling thods had changed. He no longer went to grind monsters, but rather used quests as his main source of EXP.
After clearing out all the quests he could around the Shattered Frost City, he used his flying mount to traverse all around the world. Although the leveling rate was not high, it caused his Reputation Value with the major cities to increase exponentially. When he finished all the quests he could, he had reached the Worship state in a majority of the major cities in the Eastern Continent, with only a handful of major cities that were about 2,000 Reputation points away from reaching the Worship state.
Li Yi’s current aim was to reach the Worship state in all major cities of the Eastern Continent, then for the King’s throne.
Without all the dungeon first clears and boss first kills, if an average player started grinding for Reputation Value using only quests, they would need at least 3-5 years in order to max out the Reputation Value for all major cities. Luckily, Li Yi had an abundant amount of first clears and first kills. With the constant increase of the Reputation Value amongst all major cities, it saved him a lot of ti from grinding quests.
The restoration of Shattered Frost City ant that the Castellan Residence’s quest-giver would return to normal. Li Yi was quite lucky, the Bounty Quest he accepted previously was to kill off Ferrian. Since he had already defeated Ferrian, the Bounty Quest was also cleared.
With a reward of 5000 Reputation points in all major cities and another Pantheon Hall of Fa event, the system also awarded Li Yi with a purple-quality Dragon Warrior Badge. (SImilar to the Fire Devil’s Emblem, it could be attached to any piece of head equipnt. Once attached, it would increase the attributes of said head equipnt by 30%. However, the Dragon Badge did not have the anti-drop Lock effect and could only be attached to head equipnt).
From the Class Skill ntor, Li Yi had also received the continuing quest for the Black Dragon quest line, "The Black Dragon Killer". This quest was separated into 2 parts. First, "Kill the Black Dragon Princess". Second, "Kill the Fallen Dragon King Deathwing
