Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 285 Market Research
Yu Lei's suggestion made Dao Yu Wusheng slightly silent, then nodded.
Having more friends meant having more paths. If you wanted to do well in the game, you had to make friends extensively, especially expert friends.
"When we rashly approach and disturb him like this, it's best to be careful when speaking. After all, every expert has a different personality. Some are cheerful, some are indifferent, and some are aloof. If we offend him, it will backfire," Dao Yu Wusheng said softly.
"Yeah, I know that." Yu Lei chuckled naively.
"You know?" Dao Yu Wusheng rolled his eyes at Yu Lei. "How did you provoke Yuan Fei, one of the top ten new stars in the game world, the last time we met him?"
"That's because he went too far, wanting all the equipment and randomly rolling for points." Yu Lei still had a lot of opinions about Yuan Fei.
They had finally encountered a Lord Boss in the wild and had kindly asked Yuan Fei to help fight the Boss. As a result, after the Boss was killed, everyone rolled for all the dropped equipment. They argued that killing the Boss was the effort of more than a dozen people, and even equipment they couldn't use had to be rolled for.
The excuse was that they could sell it if they couldn't use it themselves.
"Just mentioning that matter is enough. If we don't contact him in the future, so be it. There's no need to become enemies. But you, you started fighting without saying a word. That's not making friends, that's making enemies. Even now, Yuan Fei still resents us," Dao Yu Wusheng said, feeling speechless when he recalled what happened then.
Yuan Fei was one of the top ten new stars in the virtual game world this year, and a master player recruited by the Star River Alliance with an annual salary of two million credits.
Just because they had provoked that petty Yuan Fei, they had been bullied a lot by the Star River Alliance. It was becoming increasingly difficult to survive in Star-Moon City. If he didn't know the president of the Star River Alliance, and that matter was just dropped, they probably wouldn't have been able to stay in Star-Moon City any longer.
"I understand. I won't do it again next time," Yu Lei nodded and said softly. Actually, he knew he was wrong, but his straightforward temper was really hard to change.
Just as the two of them were chatting quietly while walking towards Shi Feng.
Shi Feng had already roughly looked at the prices of goods in Star-Moon City.
The overall prices were cheaper than in White River City.
In White River City, a stack of sturdy stones could be sold for 10 Silver Coins, but here it was only 9 Silver Coins. The same was true for whetstones. A stack of whetstones could be sold for 35 Silver Coins in White River City, but here it only cost 32 Silver Coins. Only the price of Advanced Whetstones was similar, both being 1 Gold Coin per stack.
On the other hand, Mysterious-Iron-grade weapons and equipment were one or two percent more expensive than in White River City, and Secret-Silver-grade weapons and equipment were even thirty to forty percent more expensive.
"As expected, more people provide more resources. Even the rare Mysterious-Iron equipment in White River City is quite common here. There are even people selling Secret-Silver equipment. As expected of a royal city, there are far more experts than in other cities." Shi Feng clearly felt how fierce the competition in Star-Moon City was from the items in the auction house.
Because of such fierce competition, experts emerged in large numbers, all thinking of ways and racking their brains to improve their strength, climbing up step by step in this city full of experts.
Otherwise, how could precious Secret-Silver equipment appear in the auction house?
For guilds, it was impossible to sell weapons and equipment above Mysterious-Iron grade, because for guilds, this was completely a strategic resource. At most, they would sell equipment made by blacksmiths, but now, which blacksmith could make Secret-Silver-grade equipment?
Even Shi Feng himself, with many auxiliary tools, found it difficult to make them. What about other blacksmiths? Making Bronze-grade equipment was about the limit, and Mysterious-Iron-grade was the extreme.
The Secret-Silver weapons and equipment in the auction house were completely obtained by wild teams. In order to improve the team's strength and the necessary expenses, they would take out Secret-Silver weapons and equipment for auction.
The number of wild teams that could obtain Secret-Silver weapons and equipment was definitely very few in White River City. Within Shi Feng's knowledge, only the Holy Grail Knights, whom he had encountered by chance last time, had this ability. However, there were many in Star-Moon City. The gap between the two cities was conceivable.
"It seems that if I want to enter the Star-Moon City market, using high-end equipment will have the best effect." At this time, the Fine-Gold Dragonscale Set appeared in Shi Feng's mind. Perhaps relying on the Dragonscale Set to enter the Star-Moon City market was a good choice, but his blacksmithing level was a bit low. For example, Cream Cocoa was now also an Advanced Blacksmith Apprentice and was trying to become a Blacksmith.
However, if he wanted to enter the Star-Moon City market, he still needed a condition. After all, Shi Feng's guild was in White River City. If he established a branch in Star-Moon City, it would probably be destroyed by the large guilds in Star-Moon City in minutes. Therefore, he needed a shop to do business.
However, if he wanted to buy a small stall in Star-Moon City, he would at least need to become a noble of Star-Moon City. Not to mention a shop, he would at least need to become a Baron of Star-Moon City to be qualified.
As expected, if he didn't solve the shop problem, he simply couldn't enter the Star-Moon City market.
After all, the 15% handling fee in the auction house was too expensive. More importantly, only wild teams and free players would sell things in the auction house. If he wanted to develop and earn a lot of money and fame, his own shop was a must.
"Hello, friend. My name is Dao Yu Wusheng. Seeing you come to the auction house, I guess you want to sell some equipment. I have a bit of a reputation in Star-Moon City, and I have many channels. If your equipment attributes are good, and you want to sell it for a good price, I can help." Dao Yu Wusheng walked up and said with a smile.
"Sell equipment?" Shi Feng looked at his attire and found that his weapons and equipment were much better than everyone else present. There was definitely no demand for the things in the auction house. Since there was no demand, then the possibility of selling equipment was very high. After all, with such good equipment, there would always be some eliminated weapons and equipment that needed to be disposed of. He then shook his head. "No, you misunderstood. I'm just looking around."
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Dao Yu Wusheng realized that he was too hasty and said apologetically, "I came here not to earn a commission, but just to make a friend."
"This is my brother, Yu Lei."
Yu Lei nodded, slightly dazed, because after observing Abyssal Blade and Killing Ray up close, he was deeply fascinated by the charming and handsome designs.
Dark-Gold-grade weapons!
Even the president of the first-rate guild, Star River Alliance, didn't have such powerful weapons. He wondered what the attributes were like and whether they were much stronger than the Secret-Silver weapons in his hands.
Seeing Yu Lei staring at the weapon on Shi Feng's waist, drool almost flowing out, Dao Yu Wusheng slapped Yu Lei and smiled at Shi Feng, "Sorry for the joke, he's not usually like this."
Shi Feng had been adventuring in God's Domain for many years, and his judgment of people was still accurate. Naturally, he could feel that these two people had no ill intentions, but just wanted to get to know him. Moreover, Shi Feng had also heard about Dao Yu Wusheng and Yu Lei, and knew their personalities. They were definitely not the kind of insidious villains. Dao Yu Wusheng belonged to the steady type, while Yu Lei was purely straightforward, but he was upright.
"It's okay, I can tell that Brother Yu Lei is straightforward." Shi Feng shook his hand and smiled. "Since Brother Dao Yu wants to make a friend, it's my honor."
Dao Yu Wusheng's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Shi Feng to be so easy to get along with and so easygoing.
So the two chatted, especially when it came to combat techniques. Dao Yu Wusheng was amazed by Shi Feng, and finally understood why everyone called Shi Feng a God-level expert.
After chatting for more than half an hour, thanks to Dao Yu Wusheng, Shi Feng also had a detailed understanding of the situation in Star-Moon City.
"This discussion has given me a lot of gains. If it weren't for Brother Ye Feng, I'm afraid I still wouldn't know about such combat techniques. This is too important for going to dungeons." Dao Yu Wusheng was very grateful, so he took out a special item from his backpack. "This ring is the only thing I can offer. Please, Brother Ye Feng, you must accept it, otherwise my conscience won't let me."
