Fan Jian quickly instructed his underlings: "Secretly acquire as many Magic Gears as possible!"

Then he roared, "I'm buying mana gears at a high price of 1.1 silver per set, no limit on quantity, sell quickly, only for one hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, the players in the square gathered around.

"I have two sets!"

"Take mine! Take mine!"

Impact Engineering players are ecstatic.

The magic gears account for a huge cost, and after setting up a stall for half a day, only a few were sold. Selling them to a shop at that price was practically giving them away for free.

Now that someone's willing to take the plunge, what are we waiting for? Sell them all!

Zhou Yi spent a few minutes collecting the mana gears at the AFK stall.

At this point, the price of Mana Gears had risen to 5 silver per set, a fivefold increase, and the original-priced loose stock at the AFK stalls was completely sold out.

Some small business owners noticed Fan Jian's actions and started stockpiling goods as well.

Zhou Yi never expected that his words would cause the situation to develop to this extent.

When everyone finally discovered that the Mana Gear had absolutely nothing to do with the hidden quest, countless merchants went bankrupt.

But what does this have to do with the I Ching?

The Mana Gear really is a quest item; he wasn't lying.

Zhou Yi approached Ultraman McEllig and submitted the mission.

Ultraman said seriously, "Adventurer, thank you for saving me from this urgent situation! In return, I'll give you my great-grandfather's diary!"

My great-grandfather was a great mage, and I hope you can inherit his mantle and carry on his legacy. Go for it!

Zhou Yi's lips twitched. This family really doesn't have any serious members. Who would keep a diary if they were serious?

He opened his diary.

The first page reads: "My friend Medivh disguised himself as a raven and spied on the Stormwind nurse's long legs..."

[Ding! You have deciphered the parchment scroll while reading MacArthur's diary.]

[The Parchment of MacArthur, the Gnome Magister: It records the Gnome racial talent, Broad Mind, a passive skill that increases your Intelligence by 5%.]

[Should I study?]

Without hesitation, Zhou Yi clicked to learn.

[Ding! Your Luck attribute grants you a critical hit effect. You have learned the MAX Mindset Opening passive skill, which increases your Intelligence by 10%.]

Zhou Yi thought to himself, "666!"

Luck +1 is terrifying.

Human racial talents, Human Essence and Open Mind, passively increase intelligence by a total of 15%.

His intelligence jumps to 153 points, and his spell damage reaches 375.

Fan Jian, who was not far away, witnessed the entire process of Zhou Yi's transaction with Ultraman and saw the light effect of Zhou Yi learning the skill. He had no more scruples in his heart.

The expert was right!

Currently, learning skills from professional mentors is extremely expensive. Most players only learn a maximum of two skills, and even some top players in teams have only learned three.

Any more and we'll run out of money.

Therefore, missions that reward skills are extremely valuable.

Zhou Yi had no idea what Fan Jian was imagining.

He found a spacious spot, set up his stall, and began placing his equipment pieces on it one by one.

There were more than twenty items in total, including kitchen knives, daggers, wristbands, helmets, and shoes.

The most valuable item is the blue-quality Green Demon Shield, followed by the green-quality Excellent Two-Handed Bow and One-Handed Dagger dropped by the Aoshi Family, as well as two pieces of green plate armor.

His stall quickly attracted the attention of many players.

Unfortunately, most stalls only have one item, and the most they have are only two or three.

The Book of Changes was spread all over the floor, and it looked to be in good condition.

"Damn, so much equipment!" one player cried out as he looked at his broken ebony sword.

Currently, gray-grade damaged equipment is the mainstream.

"Boss Caesar, can you tell me how you got all this equipment?" one of them asked with a lewd grin.

"Can you give me a piece of equipment, boss? I'll do anything you want with me," said a male warrior dressed in women's clothing.

The Book of Changes remains silent.

Gods is great in every way, except that many of the equipment items are not gender-specific, leading to rampant cross-dressing and oversized penises, and the "back view killer" is everywhere.

If they knew that Zhou Yi only took out half of his inventory, I wonder if they would kneel down and acknowledge him as their godfather on the spot.

Zhou Yi hasn't taken out the white-grade set dropped by the Green Demon Spider yet.

Once players experience the fear associated with the Green Goblin Spider, its price will definitely skyrocket when it's released.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "The prices are all marked on the stalls. If you're interested, just place your order directly."

Everyone looked over, then their lips twitched.

"A level 1 blank item costs 10 silver coins, and a level 5 item costs 50 silver coins. Why don't you just rob someone?"

"Look, that blue shield! Holy crap, that's incredibly powerful!"

"Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen blue equipment. The stats are amazing!"

"If I could wear it, I would definitely become an elite in the alliance, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!"

The shield warrior and protection paladin classes are practically drooling.

However, this price shattered everyone's hopes.

The starting bid is 10 gold, and each bid must be at least 1 gold higher.

For ordinary players, let alone 1 gold, they probably wouldn't even be able to collect 10 silver coins.

The news that blue equipment had appeared in the No. 1314 beginner village square spread quickly.

Not long after, a group of players with imposing presence stepped out from the crowd.

"Make way, make way, this is the Aoshi family's business."

"Get out of my way if you don't want to die, or I'll kill you if you dare leave the newbie village!"

Ordinary players dared not speak out in anger and could only make way for him.

Zhou Yi remained expressionless.

Why are there always these bastards from the Aoshi family causing trouble everywhere?

Although they are lowbrow, they are too annoying and affect business.
