“Sir! I want to buy a magic staff from the Royal Clan Guild! Please do the deal for me!”

“Sir! I want to buy a Holy Armor Spell Skill Book. Please do the deal for me!”

“Sir…”

In the last few days, Fang Qi felt harassed by the cross-regional deals after the virtual trading became popular.

With the skill books getting even more expensive, the valuable places that had monsters that dropped these skill books witnessed more conflicts. As for the bosses, such as the Wilma Clan Master who could drop skill books for skills above level 30, their appearance would cause a blood storm.

Now that all the elite members of the major forces had gotten most of the skill books, they turned their eyes to items.

Although items didn’t bring players benefits as directly as the spell books, things like killing and robbing other players for treasures and fighting for Bosses were crucial; that was why the items that could increase players’ strengths became hotshot objects.

Some players’ mindset even began to change subtly.

For example, Black Demon was now in possession of an ultimate magic staff, and all the Black Demon Guards wanted to have one as well since it was an honor to have the same item as the Big Boss!

…

“Guild President, how expensive will the Magic Shield Spell eventually get? And how about Limitless (Wu Ji) Stike? I think the prices will drop if I keep them for too long…” Different from Ruan Ning whose warehouse was stocked with many resources of the guild, Xi Yue’s warehouse had some personal items that she got herself.

“I plan to sell one or two things.”

“How?” Fang Qi frowned. “The game is now full of profiteers!”

“I don’t know how long I must wait…” Xi Yue said, “I think I can try to auction them.”

The inner city of Half City was the power center where the high-level residents lived.

All the forces in the outer city must register with the inner city to gain its acknowledgement, and that was only the first step to gain a footing in the city.

Even the Coiled Dragon Office was only a low-level force in the inner city.

It was heard that the deepest part of Half City hid many horrifying old monsters. The forces in the Morning Star Sea Realm hated Half City but didn’t dare to get rid of it due to these old monsters’ existences.

Half City accepted any cultivators and warriors who wanted to live here and follow the rules of this place. No matter if they had been ferociously evil or just and righteous before they entered the city, they were protected by the city from the laws of outside after entering the city.

Even though half of the city had been destroyed, the other half was intact, and so was its rules and traditions.

No one had ever been able to change this.

In the inner city, it was said that one could buy anything they could name as long as they had enough money.

There were even objects that people had never imagined to be in existence.

That was why the auctions in Half City were so famous; even the grand masters of the Morning Star Sea Realm would come here sometimes to buy rare items that couldn’t be seen in other places.

“You plan to sell them at Half City’s auction?” Fang Qi asked in surprise. “The problem is… My shop doesn’t have any tangible items; how are you doing to auction them?”

“That’s simple,” Xi Yue said, “In the past, the auctions also had some special objects which couldn’t be handed to the inner city for safekeeping, but they could be entrusted to the executives of the inner city. For example, we can create an account and take it as an intermediary warehouse. We can store the items in this account, which could show that we have these items and allow others to get the items.

“You’re quite thoughtful…” Fang Qi thought for a moment. “We can try it. When is the auction?”

“It will be happening soon.”

…

Mr. Fang discovered that it was easier for people in this world to like classical music than rock and roll. Rock and roll seemed to be beyond their understanding, let alone getting them to like it.

For example, Su Tianji played the Boundless Sea and Sky in her Qzone and hummed along from time to time.

As for Song Qingfeng, he listened to the song before.

But when Fang Qi tried to explain the lyrics to him, he said that Mr. Fang was not subtle; when Fang Qi tried to be subtle, he said that Mr. Fang was not graceful. The incident when Mr. Fang was laughed at will be ignored for now.

Mr. Fang decided not to talk about the song with them. Whenever he had time, he would play the Boundless Sea and Sky. Anyone who wanted to play the King of Fighters or came to his place to have spiritual tea would have to listen to it.

It was why Song Qingfeng and Lin Shao began to hum while they walked on the street in front of the shop, “Gam tin ngoh hon ye lui hon seuit piu gwoh waai jeuk laang keuk liu dik sam woh piu yuan fong…”

[TL Note: this is what it sounds like in Mandarin – Steel pot; with tears in eyes, yelling repairing pots; change broken pots for new ones and place them in a mess. Chasing after pots in the wind and rain. This is the original meaning – Today I saw snow drifting through the cold night. With the cold, my heart and mind drift off to faraway places. Trying to catch up in the wind and rain.]

The song was catchy after hearing it countless times, and it would replay itself in their heads.

“Colorless!” Lin Shao copied Iori Yagami’s Shiki Yami Barai and yelled while he launched a mass of warrior qi, sending a small rock flying.

It was early morning in the Nanhua Faction in the distant the Morning Star Sea Realm.

Liu Ningyun was strolling on the forest path leading to the cultivation place for elders. In a good mood, she hummed subconsciously, “Yuen leung ngoh je yat saang bat gei fong jung oi ji yau…”

[TL Note: In mandarin, it sounds like – In all my life, I like freedom and love gay guys. The original meaning in Cantonese – Forgive me, I’ve been an unruly, untamed freedom-lover all my life.]

Some very inaccurate Cantonese words came from her mouth.

She looked around and blushed when she saw some junior brothers and sisters gaping while looking at her.

Damn it! She stomped her foot in a huff. How come I sang it out loud?

She felt her image was instantly ruined by her careless mistake!

More importantly, she ran into a person at this moment, and this person was glaring at her with a dark expression.

It was an oval-faced woman who looked to be in her thirties. She looked more mature than Liu Ningyun with coldness and an aloof presence.

“Ma…Master?!”

“You still know that I’m your master?” The woman snorted. “I sent your second senior sister to fetch you the day before yesterday, but you were out. Yesterday, you didn’t come back from Half City until the night. I heard that you aren’t cultivating in the faction lately. Instead, you went to Half City each day and didn’t come back until sunset. Am I right?”

“Yes,” Liu Ningyun had a bad feeling. “I went there to…”

“To do what?” The woman said in a cold voice, “Don’t tell me that you go to Half City to cultivate diligently!”

Liu Ningyun was frustrated since she couldn’t rebuff her master and tell her that she had indeed gone to Half City to cultivate. With everyone watching, it would be a humiliation to her master if she voiced anything.

No matter if she was in the right or not, she knew what the consequences would be.

“Well.” The woman said in a cold voice, “You will stay in the faction and cultivate for in the coming days.”

This is…

Liu Ningyun, who had been on her way to the internet café, was frustrated.

What should I do?!
