As the magical elevator hummed as it ascended, Pena replied:

"I don't know that young lady's name."

But the other party claimed to be the leader of the Phoenix Flower Fan Club!

Perhaps for this reason, they bought all your spoils.

To help you sell it for a higher price, I actually set the price to be relatively high.

But that young lady didn't even ask the price; she just handed over an Imperial Tree Bank black gold card and said to swipe it as much as she wanted.

"Making money off fans is so easy!"

Peña sighed.

"How many gold coins did you get for those spoils?"

Linda asked the most crucial question.

His bottom line for the asking price is 5 million gold coins.

It's not a loss to spend 6 million.

If it's 700, it's a huge profit; it's like fleecing your fans.

Peena's chubby face broke into a bright, sunny smile as she exclaimed, "Ten million gold!"

"What!"

This number shocked Linda and her group.

Kaphni's eyes widened, and she stammered, "Ten-ten-million? How much beer and potato chips could that buy? We couldn't eat them all in a lifetime!"

Tasia murmured, "That person is far too wealthy..."

Ten million gold coins is a huge sum for a Moon-rank adventurer.

Without even asking the price, he pulled out his black gold card and swiped it freely.

So much wealth...

They are either top adventurers or nobles.

"Linda, do you remember this fan club leader?" Lulu asked.

No.

Linda was completely bewildered. "I had no idea that the iris had a fan club."

The leader of the fan club is actually a super-rich woman...

Even Pena, a local, had never met the other person, saying they were from out of town. This made Linda even more puzzled; it seemed too much of a coincidence that a young lady from out of town would be a fan of her small, third-tier city's adventure team.

Linda asked Peña about the young lady's physical characteristics and memorized them.

If they meet again, I should thank her. If she hadn't bought all my spoils, I would have been very constrained when I came to buy magical equipment today.

After the Imperial Credit Merchant Guild takes its cut, the 10 million gold coins become just over 8.99 million.

The lottery tickets were quite expensive, but the prices were lower than those at outside auctions.

Linda's savings card, including the original remaining 3.25 million, now totals...

12.24 million gold coins!

A chilling number.

Infused with magic, and looking at the long string of numbers on the illusory screen that appeared in the savings card, Linda made a decision that went against her ancestors' wishes.

He's going to spend a lot of money to buy epic-level equipment.

Even if there's a premium in the trading company, it's far less cost-effective than farming monsters and getting equipment yourself.

But he still wanted to buy it.

All the gold coins must be converted into concrete combat power tonight to amplify ourselves!

“Leave me a million for retirement.” Kaphni said resentfully upon learning of Linda’s decision.

But Linda didn't intend to keep a single copper coin.

Once he brings Monica back, he can easily clear floors 11-13 with his powerful brick attack, and get another wave of equipment drops.

You can earn back the gold coins in no time.

Floor 14 is a story-driven dungeon, and it's not particularly difficult if everyone is at the Star Rank.

Ten million is a lot, but Linda is confident she can earn it quickly.

All my words were condensed into a single word.

purchase!

...

The tenth floor is a huge exhibition hall, where each piece of equipment is displayed in its own crystal case.

The purple, orange, and a few deep purple lights dazzled the onlookers.

This is a paradise that most adventurers yearn for.

"Based on your Warlock class characteristics, I recommend the [Greenery] zone, where the equipment is mainly focused on increasing defense and improving recovery."

Secondly, there's the [Shady Jungle] area, which has many pieces of equipment that increase damage from poison spells.

The sales manager on the tenth floor was a beautiful, elfin woman. She wore a black pencil skirt and stockings that shimmered with a chocolate-like sheen.

The female elf, named Ome, explained things to Linda with a sweet smile on her face.

Those who can afford to spend on the tenth floor are all big customers, and each order can bring Ome more than 10 gold coins in profit.

To curry favor with wealthy people like Linda, Ome was often taken out for overnight stays. Being a manager in such a luxurious establishment requires more than just intelligence; good looks are also a crucial factor.

But it was clear that Linda didn't need her services; every member of Linda's team was a top beauty in White Dove City.

After looking around, Linda decided on three pieces of equipment.

[Green mushroom-shaped crown]

[Level: 32]

[Quality: Orange - Rare and Exclusive]

[Rating: 1855. Three green mushrooms grow closely together; wearing them on your head allows you to feel the power of nature. "Ah, maybe I am a mushroom too," you might have a similar thought when you wear it.]

This piece of equipment costs 570,000 gold, and its stats are almost double those of the [Invigorating Forest Wreath] worn by Linda.

After all, it's a magical equipment with a rating as high as 1855, while the latter only has a rating of just over 1000.

However, compared to other epic-level equipment, this score is much lower. Linda's epic two-star equipment, [Snake Chieftain's Legs], has a score as high as 2419.

The other two pieces of equipment purchased were [Poisonous Rotten Tentacles] and [Leaves Kissed by the Great Elf].

The former is a type of chest armor. If Linda wears it directly, she will be enveloped by something resembling octopus tentacles, which is sticky and very uncomfortable.
