Chapter 21 Item Prices Adjusted?

"Item prices have been adjusted too? What a huge undertaking!" Brother You hadn't anticipated this at first, and hastily went out with Jian Gui to fight monsters and see what they dropped. But before he even left the gate, he heard the news and quickly slipped into a shop on the roadside.

This was a weapon shop. The system's stores didn't sell anything good, just some basic white items, and they were quite expensive. Normally, no one paid them any attention, treating them like garbage recycling stations. Any junk that players wouldn't buy was thrown into these shops. On the other hand, the equipment repair service run by the blacksmith in the weapon shop was booming. Players would come to repair their gear every day without fail.

Brother You entered the weapon shop and found it incredibly lively. A huge crowd of players was crammed inside, and he almost couldn't find a place to stand. Before Brother You could even express his surprise, another person came in and pushed him further inside. The room was crowded and chaotic, with players constantly shouting, "It's my turn! It's my turn!"

"What's going on?" Brother You asked a player next to him who was desperately trying to push forward.

"Making money!" the player replied without turning his head.

"You don't even know what's going on and you're just joining in the fun!" someone said, glancing back at Brother You with displeasure.

Brother You had grown up being looked down upon, so he didn't take these words to heart and continued to ask shamelessly, "How do you make money?"

There were still kind people, of course. Someone told him, "They're taking orders for blacksmithing quests and buying all kinds of ores!"

"They've always bought them, haven't they?" Brother You was puzzled. Weapon shops in the game had always bought various minerals, and armor shops would also buy some leather and cloth. Tailor shops did the same. It didn't seem like anything new.

As a result, someone immediately looked down on Brother You for his lack of knowledge. "Is it the same as before? Haven't you heard? In the future, the number of these quests will be limited."

"That's just gossip from the forums!" Brother You said. What news that came out of the forums was unknown to Brother You? Earning quests would still exist, but their numbers would be limited. That was the relatively accepted answer that everyone had discussed and arrived at in a certain thread on the forums. In fact, there had been no official announcement, just speculation.

"Yesterday it was gossip, but today it's not anymore," someone said.

"What, are the numbers really limited?" Brother You asked.

"I don't know yet, but the number of weapons sold in the blacksmith shop is already limited," someone said.

"Really? Let me see!" Brother You desperately pushed forward. No one would compete with him for the blacksmith shop's equipment. When they saw that this guy wasn't competing for quests, they let Brother You through. Panting, Brother You squeezed in front of the weapon shop owner and asked. It was true! In the past, the weapons on the weapon rack were just for show, and they would respawn infinitely. As long as you bought them, there was no fear that the system wouldn't have any to sell. But now it was different. There were only as many weapons as there were on the rack, no more. Brother You was surprised. Even if no one wanted your stuff, it wouldn't be that absolute. If you only put three or five weapons on the rack, and some crazy person came along and took them all, the weapon shop would be empty. Wasn't that a joke?

While Brother You was thinking, he asked about the price. It was the same as the drinks in the tavern, there was also a price reduction, but it wasn't like the drinks which had been reduced tenfold all at once. Compared to the original price… It was impossible to compare. Even Brother You didn't know the original price. No one had ever paid attention to these basic items in the system store, and they weren't worth paying attention to. He only had a vague impression, and now he only knew that they were cheaper. How could he calculate how much cheaper they were?

While Brother You was pondering, he glanced at the equipment on the weapon rack and suddenly exclaimed, "Blue equipment? Gold equipment? Damn, there's even purple equipment!!!"

Everyone looked down on Brother You's ignorance. "Tch, it's purple equipment. Do you dare buy it?"

On the weapon rack was a purple one-handed sword. One side of the blade was sharp, while the other was cut into a serrated shape. The sword was named "Black Cold Saw." It added 15 to Strength and Constitution, 5 to Agility, and enhanced attack by 35%. There was a 20% chance that the attack would create a wound, causing 25% of the attack damage to be lost per second for 6 seconds, and it couldn't be healed.

"It's an effect weapon!" Brother You continued to exclaim. In the past, players only divided weapons into skill weapons and non-skill weapons. Weapons with skills were more valuable than those without skills. But as equipment became more abundant, players gradually discovered that weapons could actually be divided into three categories. The first category was skill weapons. In addition to the additional attributes, the weapon came with a skill. The second category was effect weapons, which produced special effects when attacking. In fact, these weapons had existed since the early days, such as those with additional damage or critical hits, but players didn't pay attention to them because they saw them so often and regarded them as ordinary. It wasn't until the types of effects increased that players realized that these weapons should also be a large category. As for the third type, it was weapons without skills or effects, just weapons with additional attributes. At first, players thought that these weapons were the most worthless, but later they discovered that weapons without skills or effects had more prominent attack attributes and additional attributes. In terms of weapon damage alone, this type was the strongest.

The Black Cold Saw added a damage-over-time effect of 25% per second for six seconds, and it couldn't be healed. This meant that if this effect was triggered with one strike, then the damage of that strike would be 2.5 times, which was quite powerful. Moreover, a 20% chance was already quite high. The Dusk Sword that Brother You was currently using was also an effect weapon, creating a weakening effect, but the chance was only 10%.

Excellent, practical, such equipment was actually sold in the store openly. This wasn't the style of Parallel World. Brother You was surprised and asked about the price: 2000 gold.

If this price was before the currency update, it would be quite appropriate. Now, it would probably have been snapped up long ago. But in the current situation, everything in the game had dropped in price, but this item's price hadn't changed. Compared to the original price… It was impossible to compare. Even Brother You didn't know the original price. No one had ever paid attention to these basic items in the system store, and they weren't worth paying attention to. He only had a vague impression, and now he only knew that they were cheaper. How could he calculate how much cheaper they were?

Because of Brother You's exclamations, the players didn't think much of it. They were waiting to see how this guy would react when he saw the price of 2000 gold coins.

2000 gold coins… Brother You was muttering in his heart. If it was yesterday, this wouldn't be much of a price, but today, if he used alcohol as a unit of measurement like Han Jia Gongzi, this weapon was equivalent to a tenfold increase.

Brother You was also a very calm person. Although his wallet was full, he wouldn't show off. But at this moment, when he turned around, he saw that the players in the room were all looking at him with mocking eyes, as if they were waiting for him to turn around and make a fool of himself.

The always composed Brother You suddenly had an impulse. Everyone's eyes told him that they were looking at Brother You's loud boasting, but he would never buy it. The always unremarkable Brother You suddenly had an impulse to make people look at him in a different light. He suddenly turned around, knocked on the counter, and pointed to the Black Cold Saw with a flourish. "Get it over here, I want it."

After the update, the system merchants were still the same, responsive to the players' requests. When they heard Brother You say he wanted it, they immediately turned around to get the sword. Brother You casually threw two money bags on the counter and glanced back at the players, feeling great in his heart. "Are you dumbfounded? You didn't expect that I would really dare to spend money to buy it, did you?"

So sometimes spending money wasn't about buying something, it was really about the feeling of shopping at that moment!!! Brother You felt extremely happy. He paid the money, took the sword, and didn't rush at all. Slowly, leisurely, he walked out of the weapon shop under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd.

Of course, while showing off was good, Brother You didn't miss the details he should pay attention to. He noticed that after he paid for the sword, there was no longer that piece of equipment on the weapon rack. The weapon shop owner took another sword from the blacksmith and put it on the rack. This time, it was just an ordinary white item.

Once it's sold, it's really gone… The basic sword that the shop owner took out afterwards might have been the stock prepared for this update. But no matter what, the stock would eventually be sold out. Would the weapon shop just be empty then? Would the system allow such a big joke to appear in its game?

While Brother You was thinking, he suddenly remembered that he had only cared about showing off just now. He had originally planned to sell an unwanted piece of equipment to the owner to test whether the system would still pay for recycling equipment, but he had forgotten.

He had just pretended in that weapon shop, so Brother You was embarrassed to go back. Fortunately, even if the weapon shop wasn't the only one in Yun Duan City. Brother You went around a few streets and came to another one. After such a short time, this weapon shop was even more lively than the previous one. People were piled up on the street. It seemed that some impatient people might have been thinking about whether these money-making quests still existed last night, so they tried it as soon as they logged on today. Then the news spread, and the players, afraid that they would no longer be able to earn money, rushed over. People were very afraid of being poor.

Brother You was also very persistent in his research. He wouldn't retreat just because there were a lot of people. He went over and squeezed through the crowd and finally got in. This time, he didn't say much. While the others were squeezing towards the blacksmith and the miner, he came to the weapon owner's counter and handed over a blue weapon that he had randomly obtained while leveling up a few days ago.

When he asked the owner, the owner actually accepted it. The price was naturally the system's usual way of treating excellent items as garbage, completely ignoring the value of the item in the players' minds.

"They actually still accept it… Then all the players who get garbage still throw it in the shop. The system says that the NPCs have limited money in their hands. If they accept equipment and minerals, how long can this last? Does the system keep giving them money? Even if the system has money, there will always be a day when it runs out, right? Will it refresh and replenish it after it runs out? Wouldn't that be going back to the original path? What's the difference between that and not refreshing?" Brother You started thinking again. The blue weapon itself wasn't very valuable, and with the current situation, it wasn't worth selling at all. That was why he had just handed it over to the owner when the owner wanted to accept it.

As a result, when he looked up again, he saw that the owner had handed him the money and turned around to hang the equipment on the weapon rack.

"Damn!" Brother You was shocked and quickly asked the owner how much he was selling it for.

When the owner quoted the price, Brother You was shocked. When the system resold it, it didn't treat it as garbage, but became very player-like. It was clearly the original market price of the piece of equipment. After roughly calculating the changes after the update, it came up with a price.

They actually have such a trick… Brother You had now tested out another setting. He couldn't figure out what kind of situation this research would cause, but he heavily threw a sentence in the mercenary channel: "This update is hard to say…"

"What's wrong?" everyone quickly asked. Everyone was very concerned about this update.

Brother You didn't speak and sent everyone the Black Cold Saw he had just bought.

"Damn, where did that come from!!!" everyone exclaimed. They were all very familiar with each other, and they knew who had what equipment. Purple equipment like the Black Cold Saw had a very low production rate and wasn't something that everyone had the chance to own on the roadside. Sometimes, you couldn't buy it even if you had money.

"I bought it, I bought it in the system store." Brother You explained what he had encountered.

"Damn, there are still several shops in the city! Let's go take a look!" Yu Tian Shen Ming jumped up.

"I just went to the weapon shop in the West Market, and I didn't see any purple equipment. But besides purple equipment, there are now blue and gold equipment for sale in the weapon shop, but the quantity is very small. I just tried to buy a blue one in the West Market, and no new items were added after I bought it. Also, I sold a blue equipment to him, and guess what? After the shopkeeper got it, he turned around and put it up for sale. The price was the same as the goods in his hand. I paid attention to these prices. I feel that it is more like the player market. This is not very normal! The things sold by the system are the same price as the players, and they also sell top-quality equipment. This this… I have always been unable to figure out what will happen." Brother You said.

"I said Brother You, you really have the body of a player and the cheap life of a GM! What does those rotten things you are worried about have to do with you? When a Parallel World falls, thousands of Parallel Worlds stand up. Are you a player still afraid of not having games to play? In my opinion, this update is good. We are all top-quality, and we have a lot of gold coins. This is too much of an advantage. Let's seize the time to enjoy it!" Han Jia Gongzi despised Brother You again.

"Alas… I'll go to a few more system stores and see…" Brother You was still clueless, with a life of worrying by nature.

The others were originally holding guild meetings at this time, but they all started to open up small differences, discussing the prospects of this update in the channel. Gu Fei started to interject a few words, but later found that his interjections were just jokes and did not relate to the actual discussion, so he slowly shut up.

The pre-war meeting on the Rebirth Purple Crystal side was also as outrageous as ever. After saying a few words, they ran off topic to the currency update. The girls were counting how much food they had in their hands. Xiyao Wu started to be generous again. She was holding the money bag that Gu Fei gave her and forcibly stuffed gold coins into the hands of people who didn't have much money. The girls knew her personality and were hiding from her, but who was faster than her? In the end, they had no choice but to symbolically take a few, and Xiyao Wu greeted them while sending them: "Don't be polite, everyone, take it, and ask Qian Li for more if it's not enough."

The girl wasn't so shameless, and Gu Fei was embarrassed on the side. Xiyao Wu had announced it like this, so how could he not express it? He also carried a money bag and distributed it like disaster relief, grabbing a handful here and sending a bunch there. Qi Yue looked at the good guild meeting and was stirred up by these two guys like a relief to the refugees, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This city battle only knew so little information, and could not discuss anything. In the end, it was decided that the task was the main thing, but Gu Fei and Xiyao Wu could go and kill the enemy. Qi Yue asked the two if they wanted a priest. Gu Fei thought of Luo Luo's reply, reply, and reply again, shivered, and shook his head repeatedly.

All players had been in a trance for the past two days. The currency update brought a dead market. Everyone was just thinking about desperately making money, and they did not dare to spend money randomly. However, the tavern was still crowded with people. The price of wine was cut tenfold at once. Now the cheapest red wine was 2 copper coins a glass, and it would be too much to be reluctant to spend this money.

Gu Fei had not been able to live in peace these two days. With the city war approaching, the major guilds had started to think about Gu Fei, the number one expert at the moment, and tried to poach him in every possible way. In addition to the local Yun Duan City, some unfamiliar guilds from other places also sent letters to negotiate. Even Piaoliu came to be a lobbyist. This guy did not know where he had drifted to and joined a guild, asking Gu Fei if he wanted to go over and work with him. Gu Fei was dazed. The two of them seemed to have been opponents last time, and it was not a pleasant experience. Why was this person as if nothing had happened? He also wanted to go over and work with him. What did he mean? Accepting a younger brother?

Shui Shen had made a lot of money this time. He asked Gu Fei, but was rejected, and then poached Bai Shi Jing Lun. This guy Bai Shi Jing Lun did not have a guild to begin with. At present, among the people he knew, apart from Shui Shen, no guild leader thought of poaching him. Shui Shen had mixed with him for some days and understood this guy's personality. He directly said that the city war was coming up soon. Join our guild temporarily and help me out! Would Bai Shi Jing Lun's personality refuse? Of course, he agreed readily.

Gu Fei's first reaction after learning this news was: Yin! Guys from the studio are Yin. Fortunately, Bai Shi Jing Lun did not cooperate with the studio, otherwise he would have been sold and would have been helping people count money!

Shui Shen's benefits were not only this. Jian Gui also did not have a guild. Shui Shen said here that you should not be idle, come over and help me! Would Jian Gui refuse? Of course not! Shui Shen got two top experts before the war, and according to the people in the guild, he had been hitting trees recently, and he was still grinning silly after hitting them, endlessly.

Two days passed quickly. Gu Fei felt annoyed and closed the news after being harassed for a long time, getting a moment of peace. But he had nothing to do these days! For the first time ever, there were no missions at the wanted mission office. How lonely had this world become! Everyone was either thinking about making money or thinking about the city war two days later. No one was pking anymore, which worried Gu Fei.

Weekend, 6 p.m., the game was suspended for one hour for the final update before the city war. One hour later, the server opened on time, and players rushed into the game. After the eyes turned bright, all players were surprised to find that the scene was not the familiar offline area. All players had been thrown outside the main city. The familiar main city was now thousands of meters away, and the city gate was faintly visible, with flags fluttering on the city wall and bugles ringing in the sky. The city war had officially begun.
