Chapter 7 The First Pot of Gold

"One gold coin for a piece of golden equipment, and it's the sword and armor series. That's a good deal." 138 Reading Net

"It's really not expensive, considering it's early game gear. With this weapon and soft armor, killing monsters will be so much faster. If nothing else, there will definitely be an advantage in levels."

"An advantage in levels, isn't that an all-around advantage? Those big guilds aren't short on money either. It's practically a sure thing they'll grab these three pieces of equipment. I just wonder how many people will want them. Too bad I'm not in Novice Village No. 88 to witness such a scene."

In Mythos, game equipment is divided into tiers, with the lowest being white, commonly known as trash gear. Following that are green, blue, golden, emerald, sky blue, dark gold, and finally, divine artifacts. Of course, divine artifacts also have their own levels, ranging from one to ten. Level ten divine artifacts are the top-tier equipment in Mythos, the ultimate gear.

However, according to feedback from beta testers, they hadn't even seen sky blue equipment, and only one emerald piece had appeared. Golden was already considered very good equipment, with most players equipping blue-attribute gear.

Therefore, Zhang Pingfan's three pieces of equipment were considered good items in the eyes of the major guilds, and at a not-too-high price, they were a must-acquire.

Upon receiving the news, the guild leaders of several major guilds immediately posted messages in their guild member groups, demanding that the three pieces of equipment be secured. If other guilds competed, they were to abandon the bid if it exceeded 5 gold coins.

Unfortunately, the leaders of these major guilds were not in Novice Village No. 88 this time, otherwise, it wouldn't have been anyone else's turn to compete.

Zhang Pingfan happily returned to his small courtyard. The corpse of the Titan Python was left aside by Zhang Pingfan. What needed to be done now was to exchange the ten gold coins and secure the profit.

[Ding! System prompt: xxxx Co., Ltd. has transferred 100,000 yuan to your bank card account ending in 53421! Current account balance is 100,035.]

The bank card, which originally only had two digits, had now soared to six figures.

Looking at the six-figure deposit, Zhang Pingfan was overjoyed.

"Hey, System, come out! I've completed the mission, why haven't you given me the reward yet!"

[Ding! System prompt: Congratulations on completing the mission to kill the Novice Village's top boss, the Titan Python. Reward: one pot.]

With a clang, a pot dropped in front of Zhang Pingfan.

Zhang Pingfan was stunned for 3 seconds.

"Damn it, are you messing with me? Fine, if you reward me with an axe, I can still use it as an attack weapon. But you reward me with a pot??? Are you expecting me to stew you?"

[Ding! Please be more polite, Master. My thunderous power is already getting restless.]

"Damn it, who is the master here, you or me? Why does it feel like I'm just an employee."

Looking at the pot in front of him, Zhang Pingfan had to accept his fate. This cursed ordinary life, would it give him a stir-frying spatula next time?

He glanced at the pot, then at the Titan Python's tail beside him.

"Since you've given me a pot, let's get some oil and heat it up. A pot of Titan Python tail soup should be quite good."

He decided to act immediately, as he had everything in his warehouse. He had finally completed the mission, and it was time to reward himself.

Just as he was about to put it in the pot, several players arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.

"Village Chief, Village Chief, please come out. We can't get in here!"

Without Zhang Pingfan's permission, players really couldn't enter.

Zhang Pingfan, with a displeased look, put down the firewood in his hand.

"It's nothing good. I'll kill you all. You're disturbing me from eating meat and drinking soup."

"Come in, all of you!"

With Zhang Pingfan's command, the entry restriction was lifted, and the few people at the entrance walked in.

"Mr. Village Chief, I want to buy the three items you have in your hand: the golden dagger, the golden soft armor, and the blue staff. I'll offer 3 gold coins in total!"

Zhang Pingfan's interest was immediately piqued. Business had arrived!

"Okay, I..."

Another player said, "Mr. Village Chief, I want to buy them too. He's offering 3 gold coins, and I'll offer 3 gold coins and 50 silver coins!"

"Damn, I love this kind of competition. The more, the better."

"Damn it, Moon Palace! Didn't you just say you were only here to take a look? Are you trying to suppress my price by coming here?"

At this moment, another player spoke up first, "Mr. Village Chief, I'll offer 4 gold coins!"

"Fuck! You guys have no integrity. My Apocalypse Dynasty offers 5 gold coins!"

Zhang Pingfan was secretly ecstatic. "Bid, fight, the more the merrier. I heard you big guilds aren't short on money, this is just the beginning."

Zhang Pingfan watched from the side, smiling silently, continuing, "You guys keep going."

"Oh my, at the entrance, you were all trying to hide yourselves. Now that it's reached 5 gold coins, my Tianshan Guild won't compete with you anymore. 6 gold coins!"

Suddenly, everyone present fell silent. Although they weren't short on money, 5 gold coins was already the highest estimated price. 6 gold coins wasn't worth it, and even if they acquired it, there was no guarantee of benefits, as who knew if there would be better equipment later.

After all, a price of 60,000 was already the ceiling for early-game equipment, unless a tycoon treated money like dirt.

6 gold coins it is, then. Although he still wanted them to bid higher, one shouldn't be too greedy.

"Everyone, have you settled on a price? He's offering 6 gold coins. Is there anyone offering higher?"

The others gritted their teeth and glared at the people from the Tianshan Guild. They had thought they were a small guild just joining the fun, but they didn't expect them to be newly rich.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Zhang Pingfan took out the three pieces of equipment.

"Give me the gold coins!"

The person didn't hesitate, as the other party was an NPC. He directly produced 6 shiny gold coins and handed them to Zhang Pingfan.

Looking at the six gleaming gold coins, Zhang Pingfan threw out the three pieces of equipment as if they were trash, as they were useless to him anyway.

"Hurry up and leave. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

With that, he directly drove everyone present out.

Zhang Pingfan did not hesitate and directly exchanged the 6 gold coins, earning another sixty thousand. He was delighted.

"What? The Tianshan Guild took them for 6 gold coins?"

"Yes, Guild Leader. Isn't the Tianshan Guild a small guild? Why have they suddenly become rich?"

"I'm not sure. We need to investigate the Tianshan Guild. How dare they snatch things from our three major guilds? They've really gotten brave."

The three major guilds in the online gaming world are Moon Palace, Apocalypse Dynasty, and Glazed Gate.

Moon Palace was founded by the number one female war god in the online gaming world, Ice Mountain Cold Moon. Within just three years, it rose to become one of the three major guilds.

Apocalypse Dynasty is one of the veteran three major guilds, existing for over ten years and is a true elder brother in the online gaming world.

Glazed Gate is also one of the veteran three major guilds, with strength comparable to Apocalypse Dynasty.

Tianshan Guild is a small guild that has risen in the past few months, showing fierce development momentum. However, in the eyes of the three major guilds, they are just slightly larger than the small fry, nothing more.

The people from the three major guilds are not to be trifled with. Daring to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, the Tianshan Guild is likely in trouble.
