Translator: 549690339
After getting a Double Speed Breastplate, Su Yu planned to follow suit and switch all of his equipment to double speed gear.
But he encountered a problem — his backpack was full, and he needed to sell the enhanced equipment.
Selling directly to the system store was a huge loss.
To sell to players, according to the game rules, worn equipment or the ones obtained from quests cannot be sold, while equipment dropped from monsters or instances can be sold.
He had seven breastplates he had just enhanced and never wore, so he could sell them to players.
But should he slip these equipment into the trading stack for sale? That doesn’t sound like a good idea, right?
After thinking for ten seconds, Su Yu shook his head.
He can’t sell them in the trading stack.
If he hurriedly puts dozens of rare equipment items up in the trading stack, as long as other players were not fools, they could guess his talent.
At this stage, he needs to remain mysterious and cannot be studied thoroughly.
The equipment had to be sold through other channels.
Which channel though?
Got it!
Su Yu left the trading stack, found the NPC [Mercenary Businessman Lai Yin] in the village.
He spent 20 spiritual energy coins daily to rent a legal stall from him.
Ordinary players’ stalls that are set up casually have no system protection, and equipment could be taken by passing players.
The system’s legal stalls are system protected, and you can set a “custody” state; players can put the goods on the stall and leave at any time.
Su Yu arrived at the Mercenary Trading Market where the legal stalls were.
The Mercenary Trading Market was yet to be an opened content in the game, it was empty with no NPCs.
Exactly because there were no NPCs, the number of players here was pretty sparse.
Su Yu found his stall at the entrance and placed all seven of his rare breastplates on it.
The price for the level 3 rare was 320 spiritual energy coins, and the level 5 rare was 520.
He was not trying to make a profit, he only needed to make back his investment.
As for the name of his stall, it was called “Small Rare Shop, Selling off Vast Amount of Rare Quality Equipment at Low Price”.
After doing all this, Su Yu turned back to the trading stack to continue his hunt for Double Speed equipment.
Not long after Su Yu left.
Two village players who were wandering around passed by the Mercenary Trading Market.
Seeing Su Yu’s stall, one of them immediately laughed: “Look, who is that sucker who paid for an official stall?”
His companion also laughed: “Yeah! Wasting 200 bucks for nothing, such a great loss! The shop’s name is interesting though – A Small Rare Shop, Vast
Amount of Rare quality equipment…”
As this player spoke, his face dramatically changed!
So far, there were no tradable rare quality equipment in the game, not a single
one’.
And now, this stall had a sign reading “Selling off Vast Amounts of Rare Equipment at Low Prices”? Are they lying!
The two players hurriedly rushed to take a closer look.
A moment later, two surprised shouts echoed in the market: “My God! It’s true! They are tradable rare equipment!”
“And there are seven of them!”
“Who is selling this equipment?”
“No way, I have to take a screenshot and send it to the forum immediately.”
The news of “Seven rare equipment appearing in the Mercenary Trading Market” spread from ten to hundreds.
Soon, the whole of Nolan Village was buzzing! Players swarmed in to see what’s happening, making the once deserted Mercenary Market now overcrowded.
Many players who had never seen a rare item before, now ran to have a glimpse of it.
Five or six minutes later, Su Yu returned to the Mercenary Market again.
By then, he had already replaced all of his gear with Double Speed equipment.
[Hill Sheepskin Hood] Speed +0.6, [Wind-like Leather Armor] Speed +0.7,
[Language Style Leg Armor] +0.8, [Furry Gloves] +0.4, [Bone-Tooth Boots] +1.2, [Spider Silver Thread Pauldrons] +0.4, [Wild Boar Leather Belt] +0.5.
In “Evolution”, armor is subdivided from top to bottom into hats, pauldrons, breastplates, gloves, belts, leg-guard, and shoes, totaling 7 types.
Apart from armor, there are also two ring slots, one necklace slot, and two accessory slots.
However, jewelry and accessories only drop from monsters above level 10. Jewelry and accessories below level 10, like [Tear of the Goddess], were only given out during quests, and no players were selling them in the trading stack.
After putting on a full set of Speed equipment, Su Yu’s movement speed was increased by 4.6. Coupling that with his initial movement speed of 1.2, his movement speed had now reached a shocking 5.8!
What’s the concept of a movement speed of 5.8?
With this speed, it felt as if Su Yu had lost his gravitational constraints. His walking speed had reached 5.8 meters per second, and running speed could reach an astonishing speed of nearly 29 meters per second!
You should know that the speed of a common racehorse is 400 meters per minute, even a tiger’s running speed only reaches 20 meters per second!
Su Yu was even much faster than a tiger!
Human-shaped car.
Although his current speed might not surpass the Howling Moon Wolf, he could easily get away from being pursued by Wolf King’s bodyguard.
With this speed, Su Yu finally had the capital to have a showdown with the Wolf King.
Outside the market, Su Yu carried a giant sized leather backpack on his shoulder, which was filled with dozens of enhanced rare equipment.
This leather backpack was something he’d purchased from a tanner in the village for 20 spiritual energy coins.
On one hand, he needed to transport all these rare equipment at once.
On the other hand, it was also preparation for the items dropped by the Wolf King.
A monster siege boss would drop dozens of items at once, which would be shared among the players who participated in the kill. If Su Yu did not prepare a large leather backpack, he would not be able to bring back all of the Wolf King’s drops with just the system backpack.
Standing at the entrance of the Mercenary Trading Market, Su Yu looked at the clusters of players around his stall and felt a bit uncomfortable.
He did not expect the equipment he placed to cause such a big stir.
But it was alright, one of the characteristics of [Invisibility Skill] was “ignoring collision,” and with [Invisibility Skill], he could easily blend into the crowd.
With this in mind, Su Yu silently activated [Invisibility Skill].
Players nearby were watching Su Yu carefully because among all the players there, only Su Yu was carrying such a large, bulging backpack.
What’s up? The system backpack is not enough for this brother?
A player, seeing Su Yu, approached and reached out to touch Su Yu’s shoulder,
“Hey bro, can I know where did you buy your backpack from…..”
But just as he was about to touch Su Yu’s shoulder, Su Yu’s [Invisibility Skill] was activated.
The player found himself hitting the air and was taken aback.
Two seconds later, he suddenly started to shout in a terrified voice: “Ghost!
Help! Help!”
Other players around him immediately gave him a contemptuous look:
“Perhaps he just got offline, why are you making such a fuss?”
The player yelled for a while before noticing he was making a fool of himself. Mortified, he nervously laughed and spoke no further.
Su Yu, who had activated [Invisibility Skill], quickly moved through the crowd, reaching his stall in no time.
Six out of seven items on his stall had been sold already, only the level 5 [Red Wolf Leather Jacket] remained.
At the moment, there were quite a few guys hanging around his stall, and these guys were even starting a betting pool over this last piece of equipment!
“I bet the last piece of equipment could be sold within an hour! 50 spiritual energy coins!”
“I’ll take that bet!”
“Do you dare to raise the stakes? Like, 500 spiritual energy coins?”
“You think I’m stupid? If I bet 500, I might as well just buy it myself! Hurry up and bet those 50!”
