Chapter 2010: Little Knife Pulls the Butt, Reverse Bargaining!
Look at these boots that are half-packed.
After a moment's thought, Fang Yun didn't rush to have it appraised. Instead, he went to another stall and filled the other half of his backpack.
After getting everything sorted out, he took the identification talisman provided by the merchant and rushed to the Changshou Kidney Selling Bridge.
Even now, the "Kidney Selling Bridge" is still bustling with people.
Although more and more players are now realizing that the probability of finding top-tier items in this place is not much higher than in other places.
But people always tend to believe in metaphysics.
Even if you know it's useless, you still do it for good luck.
They still prefer to come here to do things like identifying and refining demons, which involve gambling on chance.
Fang Yun's small square inch is still the original skin of the Heroine.
In addition, he didn't take the level-less Purple Lightning Frost.
So his arrival didn't attract much attention. Everyone was still frantically standing on the bridge, combining pets and farming equipment, sometimes chanting "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, and now 'Your mother's foot!'"
Fang Yun also quite liked this atmosphere, and stood in the crowd, ready to start the appraisal.
It's different from when it's live.
Playing appraisal games privately is a much better experience for Fang Yun than playing them during live streams.
the reason is simple.
In order to control the sales rate during live streams, he either doesn't use cheats at all, or if he does, he only dares to use them a little bit.
But in private, he had no such reservations at all.
It was even because he deliberately suppressed himself during the live stream.
At this moment, Fang Yun's eyes were bright, and he had already decided to carry out enhanced appraisals for all the following appraisals!
If you have cheats, you can do whatever you want. You can't play like this during a live stream, but you have to play it super high in private!
He was humming a tuneless little tune.
Fang Yun casually opened his backpack, selected a pair of level 140 boots, and decisively activated the Luck Enhancement—
"Identification successful!"
One mouse click.
Looking at these boots that remained completely still even after being enhanced by luck.
Fang Yun remained calm and composed, moving the mouse to click on the next pair of dots—
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
"..."
He then started clicking the mouse rapidly.
Then, the notification that the identification was successful was displayed rapidly in the center of his game screen.
The process continued until all the boots in the half-cart were appraised.
Fang Yun frowned slightly upon discovering that not a single pair of dedicated shoes had been released.
Not a single pair of the ten enhanced boots turned out to be a special type. The odds are a bit ridiculous.
As for achievements...
Because he had identified so many pieces of equipment before, he had basically unlocked all the possible achievements.
So, his failure to achieve anything this time was exactly what he expected.
I had a premonition that this half-load of boots was going to overturn.
Fang Yun took a sip of tea, and then began to examine each pair of eyes.
"Initial Agility 60 (plain)... Initial Defense 101 (plain)... Initial Agility 59 (Pluto's Critical Strike)... What the hell is this?!"
As they examined one pair of boots after another...
Seeing that although these boots had high attributes due to the guaranteed luck enhancement, most of them were just plain boots, and even the occasional blue-quality boots were useless.
Fang Yun finally couldn't hold back and started complaining to himself.
This is the characteristic of enhanced identification: the lower limit is very high, but the upper limit is very random.
When he's lucky, he can get a lot of high-attribute blue stats in one go. Although most of the blue stats are useless, at least they look nice, right?
But what if you're unlucky?
Even though the luck enhancement system has a decent safety net.
However, he can only rely on the guaranteed minimum, just like this time, where his base stats are very high, but he keeps getting blank cards.
"Could it be that yesterday's bad luck is still ongoing?"
Thinking back to yesterday when I was leveling up, I was either frantically looping or going straight to the same path.
Fang Yun couldn't help but wonder if her luck hadn't changed yet.
But having gotten used to cheating, he had long since developed a habit of not believing in superstitions.
The first batch of vehicles had already overturned.
He was too lazy to look at it any further, so he threw it all into his luggage and freed up the other half of the car.
This half of the car is of a higher overall level than the first half, starting at 140, with three of them being 150.
These days, professional merchants have gradually begun to occupy the mainstream in various key positions in Fantasy Westward Journey, such as weapon crafting and demon refining.
However, this is because top-tier resources are produced in very small quantities.
The buying and selling of items like level 150 equipment is not only scarce nowadays, but also extremely expensive!
Weapons are alright. Apart from the more popular swords, spears, and fans which are basically unavailable, other less common items such as double short swords, whips, and ribbons can usually be bought for under 8000 million.
However, when it comes to armor, apart from women's clothing which is relatively inexpensive, everything else starts at 9999 million!
A single piece of level 150 equipment costs nearly 1000 yuan, and someone like Fang Yun often has to appraise dozens of pieces at a time.
Even if only a quarter of them are level 150.
A single appraisal can easily cost over 100,000 yuan!
So don't be fooled by his cheat code.
Even he has to invest a huge amount of money to produce good products, and even so, he often ends up with nothing after a lot of hard work.
These three pairs of size 150 boots are just a trial run.
If he continues to get blank cards, he'll have to consider taking a break for a couple of days.
I didn’t think much more about it.
Put these half a cart of boots away properly.
He clicked on the identification talisman again, and then quickly clicked down—
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
"Congratulations! This item may become a unique equipment. Unique equipment can only be used by you. Do you want to have it appraised as unique equipment?"
A series of quick clicks.
When they got to the fourth pair of boots.
Suddenly, a familiar, proprietary notification popped up on the screen.
Upon seeing the prompt, Fang Yun was taken aback for a moment, then clicked "OK" without hesitation.
"Identification successful!"
Click on the dedicated option and watch the lonely notification pop up on the screen indicating successful identification.
He didn't pay much attention and then appraised the rest of the pairs before taking a breather and starting to examine each pair individually.
"A blank slate with 63 initial agility... a 62 initial agility... Ice Cleansing Technique? Tsk! Qi Healing Technique with 58 initial agility... Damn!"
After reviewing the attributes of the first three pairs, I realized that...
Fang Yun was quite happy when he discovered that both pairs of items had high-attribute special skills.
But when he discovered that both of these special skills were the kind that could be used but weren't very practical.
He couldn't help but curse under his breath, truly speechless at being tricked.
Fortunately, with those special shoes, whether these appetizers were top-notch or not didn't really matter.
I wasn't in a hurry to look at the special pair.
He first looked at the next few pairs as well, and found that neither the no-level-requirement pairs nor the large number of blue-text items appeared.
He couldn't help but sigh softly, his gaze shifting to the size 140 special shoes.
"Give me the best! I'm not asking for much, just a high-agility, no-level-requirement item will do!"
After silently praying with his hands clasped together, Fang Yun moved the mouse and opened the panel for the boots—
【Azure Clouds and Flowing Clouds】
Legend has it that the boots were made by a divine craftsman in the heavens using five-colored celestial clouds as material.
[Equipment Conditions] Level 140
Level: 140, Element: Water
Agility +68, Defense +109
Durability: 800
Special skill: Put down the butcher knife
Special effects: Mystery
Exclusively for player 29882654
Manufacturer: Requiem Enhancement Crafting
"No way... Gou Wangyi, is this how you play the game?!"
The attribute panel of these special boots was now fully displayed in front of him.
Looking at the initial agility and initial defense that are just a hair's breadth away from reaching the ultimate limit, and the auxiliary divine skill "Lay Down the Butcher's Knife" below.
Fang Yun was completely outraged and just wanted to point at Wang Yi and start cursing!
These boots are absolutely top-notch.
For boots, what players pursue is actually quite simple: physical attackers pursue special skills, such as Bloodthirst, Beast Shatter, etc.
Support and control classes prioritize high defense, high agility, and practical special skills, such as the current "Put Down the Butcher's Knife" skill.
These boots perfectly meet Fang Yun's needs, with explosive basic attributes and practical special skills, making them quite perfect.
But here's the thing.
These boots don't come with a grade limit!
A pair of level 140 boots with explosive personal attributes but no level requirement.
For a moment, even Fang Yun didn't know how to describe the feeling.
In short, it was incredibly frustrating, extremely frustrating!
I drank several sips of tea to calm myself down.
Looking at the pair of special high-sensitivity boots lying quietly in my backpack, waiting for me to make a decision, I put them down.
Fang Yun frowned slightly, deep in thought.
These boots are top-notch, but the fact that they don't have the most important "no level requirement" is really frustrating.
But let's look at it from another angle.
It's amazing that such a rare find could be obtained from just one truckload of 20 pairs of boots.
Even though he doesn't need it himself, at least it proves that he had good luck today, right?
That being the case.
Then he can simply continue buying and appraising items.
As long as luck is on his side, he firmly believes that more good products will come his way!
Think of this in your mind.
His gaze fell on the special boots again, and for a moment he found them much more pleasing to the eye.
I didn’t think much more about it.
With the truckload of boots in hand, he first went to the warehouse to store them all, and then rushed to the area below the arena to start another shopping spree.
This time, his shopping spree was noticeably more targeted. He no longer focused on level 130 items, but instead focused on level 140 and 150 items.
Although the amount of luck points consumed for luck enhancement differs for these three levels of boots, the overall difference is not significant.
That being the case.
If money is no object, he would naturally prefer to farm higher-level items, as this would not only be more cost-effective, but also more valuable if he got top-tier attributes.
That's right, this is Fang Yun's view of cost-effectiveness—it's somewhat abstract, but also very practical.
pity.
As mentioned earlier.
The stock of 150mm equipment is still too small in today's arms market.
After browsing through stalls selling high-end, unidentified boots, I realized that I had only managed to find four pairs of 150 boots in half a day.
Feeling somewhat dissatisfied, Fang Yun stopped, realizing that continuing to sweep like this wasn't a sustainable solution.
"Dude, do you have any 150 boots left in the warehouse? Book covers will do too. Name your price, I'll buy them all!"
I found a stall account that specializes in selling high-end 140-150 military equipment.
After adding the other person as a friend, Fang Yun immediately sent them a private message.
Although Yishui Snow Mountain is not well-known in the Martial God Altar these days, the area itself is still quite popular.
The most prominent feature of a popular server is that it produces a lot of resources.
In other words.
The resources in this area are definitely more than what we have now, but the total amount is too small and most players' spending power cannot keep up.
Many merchants can only ship a small amount of goods, while keeping most of their goods in their hands and waiting for big customers to come to them.
of course.
In this situation, Fang Yun can directly advertise globally to receive 150 resources. Given his current fame in the snow mountain, many businessmen will definitely come to him to promote his products.
But doing so would not only cause too much of a stir, but also make it easy for merchants to collude and control prices, ultimately turning you into a blatant sucker.
Private chat is different.
Even if you chat privately, the other person is very likely to know you.
However, it is currently unknown whether there are any competitors, or if so, how many.
The other party's pricing will definitely be more reasonable, but of course, there will also be some that are not reasonable.
But it's okay.
Fang Yun has always preferred a slow pace in this area.
If someone tries to raise the price, he just blocks them and moves on to the next person.
Waited for a moment.
Just when Fang Yun thought the other party might be AFK and not online.
The merchant, whose username is 'Mantis Shrimp 3', finally replied.
"Brother Cheng?! #staring"
Upon seeing the other party, he immediately adopted the familiar "Brother Cheng" look, complete with a glaring expression.
Although he was already used to it, Fang Yun still couldn't help but smile helplessly.
That's the downside of being famous: everyone knows you, and everything you do is out in the open.
"It's me. I want to brush the boots again, so do you have any in stock?"
Having acknowledged his identity, Fang Yun didn't forget the important matter and asked again.
"Yes, there are some, but not many, maybe five or six pairs. Brother Cheng, are you satisfied?"
The other party responded much faster this time, clearly knowing that Fang Yun had come to collect the goods, and that as long as they talked normally, the probability of a deal was almost 100%!
"Five or six pairs...okay, I'll take them all. Name your price."
They learned that the other party had five or six pairs in stock.
Although he wasn't entirely satisfied with the quantity, Fang Yun decided to take it first and then ask the other party for a quote.
Seeing that he indeed chose to pack it up without hesitation and even asked me to quote a price.
Pipi Shrimp was very excited about creating 3 pairs. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I usually sell them at a stall for 9999 million a pair. If you want them, Brother Cheng... I'll give you a 95% discount. You can give me 5.7 million for six pairs. How about that?"
talking.
As if afraid that Fang Yun would think he wasn't sincere, he hurriedly added, "Brother Cheng, you're in the arms business every day, so you should know that there's a lot of money involved. But when it comes to top-tier resources like these, our profit margin isn't actually that high. 95% is the limit I can set!"
I saw the explanation that the other party hurriedly sent after sending the quote.
Fang Yun was slightly taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.
He had assumed that the other party would raise the price after learning his identity, perhaps not by much, but definitely not by 9999 million.
After all, the fact that he can send private messages to merchants means that he can no longer find goods in the market.
In this situation, any businessman would know it's the best time to raise prices.
Even Fang Yun himself was prepared to take a small cut.
Unexpectedly, this guy was so honest. Not only did he keep the price of each item the same, but he even gave a 95% discount for the whole package. He really made a killing with a small price tag, which really opened Fang Yun's eyes!
What he least expected was...
After offering a discount, the other party was still worried that it wasn't enough, and then sent a whole bunch of explanations, as if afraid that they might ruin the deal if they didn't explain things clearly.
To this, Fang Yun could only say—
That's great, buddy. If you do business like this, we'll be doing a lot more business together in the future!
