Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 - Commotion in Town

Red Leaf Town, Fountain Plaza .

The entire plaza was dyed crimson by the setting sun . There were quite a lot of Lifestyle players[1] setting up food stalls and selling snacks that were unique to God's Domain .

These snacks tasted delicious, and they were much better than the delicacies in real life . Also, their selling price was just 2 or 3 Coppers . It was truly a bargain .

Many players would come here to rest and taste the delicacies of God's Domain after a day's worth of hard-fought battles . After all, they could only earn tens of Coppers in a single day, and after deducting the expended costs, they would only be left with slightly over ten Coppers . So, giving them a treat should not be a problem .

There were quite a few couples sitting on the stone benches, chatting . They ate the food they bought as they enjoyed a lovely time .

Suddenly, every player in Red Leaf Town received a System Announcement .

System: A player has triggered a special storyline . 'Insurrection of the Little Fishmen' has been activated . An Expedition Quest has been activated in Red Leaf Town . Players can now receive the Expedition Quest from the Adventurer's Guild . Completing the Expedition Quest will reward players with bountiful rewards and Guild Reputation .

All the players were shocked . In Red Leaf Town, a place where Quests were extremely rare, there was actually an Expedition Quest . Moreover, the rewards were great . It was truly unimaginable .

"Who was the awesome person that actually triggered a special storyline?"

The player who achieved this feat attracted the attention of every player in Red Leaf Town . Everyone wondered what great rewards this player gained for activating the storyline . After all, activating a storyline was definitely a rare occurrence . So, how could the rewards be few?

Quite a lot of players started having their own wicked thoughts . They wanted to kill off the player who activated the storyline Quest . Unfortunately, the System Announcement did not reveal the player's name . Compared to the average players, the various large Guilds were in a state of turmoil . At this stage of the game, aside from clearing Dungeons, there was not a single Quest that was capable of increasing Guild Reputation .

A Guild required Guild Reputation to level up . As long as their Guild could reach Level 2 a step earlier, they would be able to obtain the corresponding Guild benefits, creating a large advantage over the other Guilds .

Currently, the other Towns surrounding Scarlet River also received the same System Announcement; it wasn't just Red Leaf Town . All of the large Guilds began strategizing a plan for their crusade against the Little Fishmen .

Meanwhile, Shi Feng, who was the cause of all this commotion, currently sat inside the Auction House .

The Auction House was a very convenient place . The items placed on auction by players were not just limited to Red Leaf Town; they could be seen and bought in the hundreds of Towns and small Cities under the influence of White River City . However, the Auction House was very cunning . They charged a 5% handling fee for all items auctioned, so the items there are usually very expensive .

However, the Auction House was unquestionably the best place for players to sell certain items anonymously . Also, it had been quite some time since God's Domain started . The players had already amassed quite an amount of Coins, and the large Guilds should have already piled up a lot of funding . If Shi Feng were to set up a stall in Red Leaf Town, not only would he attract attention, he might also be targeted by people like Flaming Tiger .

More importantly, the reason Shi Feng chose the Auction House was that there were too few players in Red Leaf Town who could afford the items he planned to sell . However, it was a different story if there were hundreds of Towns competing for them .

Hence, Shi Feng placed a Mysterious-Iron Plate Armor on the Auction House, setting its base price at 25 Silver Coins . Then, he placed five pieces of Bronze Equipment, with the base price of the Plate Armor at 3 Silver Coins, and the others at 2 Silver Coins . As for the Level 10 Fine-Gold Greatsword, the result of placing it on auction would be too terrifying to imagine . This weapon was worth at least 2 Gold Coins, which was the equivalent of 200 Silver Coins . Currently, even 1 Silver Coin was extremely precious; so who would be able to even afford the weapon?

Following which, Shi Feng searched his bag via the half-transparent screen . Initially, players were gifted with a bag that had 100 slots . However, it was far from enough for Shi Feng . Every player could equip a maximum of seven bags . So, Shi Feng immediately bought six of the largest bags currently available . Each of the bags had 25 slots, and each sold for 40 Copper Coins . Six bags meant 240 Copper Coins . Such an amount was definitely unaffordable to normal players, but it was just a small sum to Shi Feng .

Shi Feng's storage space increased by a lot after equipping the six bags . Afterward, Shi Feng left the Auction House and set up a stall not far from it . He was not the least bit interested with the Storyline Quest he triggered .

He would not fight over the rewards with the others . He already had his fill; so it was only proper for the others to have the leftovers .

"Buying Magic Essences and Stones in bulk . A stack[2] of Magic Essences for 6 Coppers; a stack of Stones for 10 Coppers . " Shi Feng loudly shouted .

At this stage of the game, Magic Essences were some of the materials needed to practice Enchanting, whereas Stones were one of the building materials Engineers needed . However, many Level 0 to Level 3 monsters would drop these materials when killed, so they were barely worth anything . The materials the many Guilds obtained were also sufficient to supply their own Lifestyle players, so they would never buy any of them . As for normal players, they would only occasionally buy these materials .

However, there was still an ocean of players that did not know how to deal with these materials . They would usually sell these materials to NPCs at a low price . A stack of 20 bottles of Magic Essence sold for 5 Coppers, and a stack of 100 Stones sold for 9 Coppers . Shi Feng bought them at a price of 1 Copper Coin higher, so there were quite a lot of players who were willing to sell their materials to him . An extra Copper per stack would still be quite a significant income .

Magic Essence was one of the required materials to make the Garrison Armor . Besides that, large amounts of Copper Ore and Bronze Ore were also needed . These ores were scarcely available, and all the large Guilds bought them in bulk . Unfortunately, it was very difficult to get ahold of them .

Shi Feng also originally planned to grind for ore . However, now that he had the Philosopher's Stone, ore was no longer a problem . The Philosopher's Stone could carry out Elemental Refinement . That meant it could refine Stone . There was a great chance to obtain ore, even rare ore . There was absolutely no need for Shi Feng to personally grind for them; he could just buy them at an extremely low price . Because of this, tens of thousands of players had effectively become Shi Feng's laborers .

Very quickly, a large crowd of players had gathered in front of Shi Feng .

"Big Brother, I have 6 stacks of Magic Essence here . Will you take them?"

"I have 3 stacks of Stone; do you want them?"

Many players started asking Shi Feng, worried that his bag would fill . After all, they just had too many Magic Essences and Stones . There were no players who were willing to buy these materials . However, it was also a shame to just sell them to the NPCs, so the materials just stayed inside their bags .

"I'll take all of them . Just trade them over," Shi Feng said .

Before this, Shi Feng amassed quite a bit of wealth . Including his transaction with Gentle Snow, he was in possession of quite a lot of Coins . Shi Feng could definitely buy large amounts of Magic Essences and Stones .

A player was selling three stacks of Magic Essences here… A player was selling five stacks of Stones there… Within moments, Shi Feng had acquired 60 stacks of Magic Essences and 85 stacks of Stones . The money that remained in his pockets was less than 10 Coppers now .

"Sorry, but I'm full," Shi Feng packed up his stall after explaining .

Suddenly, the many remaining players who came to sell off their Magic Essences and Stones had faces filled with disappointment .

"Big Brother, will you still buy them in the future?" A player asked .

"I will . However, it will still be a period before I do buy them . You all can save them up for now . " Shi Feng resolutely said . The amount of Magic Essences and Stones Shi Feng just purchased was far from enough for him to become an Advanced Forging Apprentice .

After leaving the business street, Shi Feng arrived at the Engineer's Association . He paid 5 Coppers to rent a Basic Forging Room for one hour .

Inside the Basic Forging Room, all the equipment needed for forging was provided; players did not need to buy their own equipment . The Intermediate Ranked Forging Room was a lot better; it could increase the success rate of Forging by 3% . However, it costs 1 Silver per hour to use that room . As for Advanced Forging Rooms, those were not available in small Towns . They were only available in Cities . However, their prices were extremely staggering .

TL Notes:

[1]Lifestyle players: Players who focus on their Auxiliary Jobs i . e . Forgers, Alchemists/Potionmakers etc .

[2]a stack: This is a gaming term used to refer to a group of identical items which will take up only one space/slot in the player's bag . The stack of items has a maximum limit as to the amount of items it can hold within a slot, i . e . a full stack of Magic Essence has 20 bottles of the item . If a player has 21 bottles of Magic Essence, a second stack will be created in the player's bag .

[3]High Ranking Apprentice Forger: Forgers can be distinguished into several stages, which are Apprentice Forger -> Forger -> Master Forger -> Grandmaster Forger . These stages are then further distinguished into three different ranks, Basic -> Intermediate -> Advanced
