"Wow, look! That stall has 2-star equipment for sale..."

"Where is it, where is it..."

"Holy crap, it really is! And these are the hardest weapons and jewelry to get! Let's go check them out..."

"Hmph, that's just bragging. Right now, if a 2-star item drops, who wouldn't keep it for themselves? I think this guy's just putting on a show..."

After Wang Ming displayed the name "2-star" on his stall, sharp-eyed people in the square spotted it.

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their eyes filled with curiosity and skepticism as they approached Wang Ming's stall.

"My God, it really is a 2-star item."

"Holy crap, this longsword not only has 5 points of attack, but also 2 points of strength and agility. This is way better than the beginner weapon that only adds 1 point of attack. It's outrageous."

"Yes, this bracelet too. I never knew that 2-star equipment could provide base stat bonuses in addition to attack power. This is the first time I've ever seen that."

"Me too, but this price is a bit too high. I remember one silver coin could sell for at least 100 Chinese yuan, and even then, there's no market for it..."

"Ah, so this ring is worth 300 Chinese yuan, and this dagger is worth 1000 Chinese yuan?"

"It's like this..."

......

Wang Ming listened to everyone's words with some surprise. One silver coin is equal to 100 Chinese coins, so isn't one copper coin also equal to one Chinese coin?

Is this copper coin really that valuable?

That's exactly right. Right now, it's the early stages of the game, and players all want to level up quickly. The consumption of potions and the demand for equipment are both terrifying.

The Yuanyu region has not yet opened a recharge system, and all currency is obtained by players through monster drops, which is why the exchange rate with real currency is so expensive.

"System notification: Your equipment - Mane Leather Shoulderpads has been sold. After deducting a handling fee of 3 copper coins, you have received 27 copper coins."

"System notification: Your equipment - Mane Leggings has been sold. After deducting a handling fee of 3 copper coins, you have received 27 copper coins."

......

"Wow, YuanYu is really shady, they even have a 10% handling fee."

At this stage, players have not yet entered the main city and cannot trade items face-to-face; they can only sell them by setting up stalls.

Upon hearing the system notification, Wang Ming felt a surge of frustration.

Damn it, these fees alone are enough for me to buy several bottles of medicine.

Oh right, potions. Wang Ming glanced at the 15 bottles of beginner mana recovery potions in his backpack, and on a whim, put them all on the stall at a price of 5 copper coins each.

"System notification: Your Beginner Mana Recovery Potion*10 has been sold. After deducting the 5 copper coin handling fee, you have received 45 copper coins."

"System notification: Your Beginner Mana Recovery Potion *5 has been sold..."

......

"Haha, luckily I was quick-witted. This beginner mana recovery potion is sold for 10 copper coins and bought back for 1 copper coin by Widow Li, but I sold it for half price, 5 copper coins. It sold out as soon as I put it on the market."

Before long, apart from the fang bracelet and the fang longsword, everything else on the stall was sold out, and the number of players in front of Wang Ming's stall decreased significantly.

Wang Ming wasn't in a hurry. Everyone in the newbie village knew he was selling 2-star equipment here, so all he had to do now was wait.

"Hello, I'll take this bracelet and longsword."

Twenty minutes later, Wang Ming heard a question in his ear.

Wang Ming looked up and saw that several players with the same ID as those playing the Three Kingdoms game had come to his stall.

Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms - Spirit Swordsman;

Dian Wei from the Three Kingdoms - Ghost Dancer;

Xu Chu of the Three Kingdoms - Heavenly Feather Bow Soul;

Xiahou Dun of the Three Kingdoms - The Ruler;

Xiahou Yuan of the Three Kingdoms - Hanging Pot;

Guo Jia from the Three Kingdoms - Lingyin;

Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms - a sorcerer.

Cao Cao, a man from the Three Kingdoms period, walked in front of the group. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was the one who had just asked the question.

Looking at the seven people's IDs, Wang Ming knew that these seven people belonged to the same team, and that they had actually formed a standard seven-person squad.

In addition, all seven of them were level 3 and were wearing a lot of equipment.

Looking at the dull sword in Cao Cao's hand from the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Ming knew that the wealthy man had arrived.

"Okay, uncle, you can just buy it directly."

"Young man, it's like this, I don't have that many game coins on hand. How about this, I'll settle with real money. Young man, give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer 1300 Huaxia coins to you."

"Young man, after you receive the money, change the price of these two pieces of equipment to 1 copper coin and set me as the designated trading partner."

"Young man, do you think this will work?"

"Designate a trading partner?" Wang Ming looked at the stall and, sure enough, it had this function.

"Sorry, I only want game coins."

Wang Ming didn't care about the 1,000 yuan; he just wanted to exchange it for game currency to buy game items.

Upon hearing Wang Ming's words, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period was taken aback.

"Haha, it seems you're not short of money in real life, young man. I apologize for being presumptuous."

"Young man, how about this? You take these two pieces of equipment off the market first, give me five minutes, and I'll go raise the money."

It seemed impossible to raise 13 silver coins in 5 minutes, but seeing Cao Cao's confident appearance, Wang Ming agreed.

"Okay!" Wang Ming then removed the two pieces of equipment from the shelves.

"Young man, you're quite the gentleman." After saying this, Cao Cao gestured to Guo Jia, who was standing to his left.

Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms understood and turned to walk towards the other vendors, chatting with them.

A moment later, Guo Jia from the Three Kingdoms period walked to an empty stall and set up his own stall.

The person who had spoken to him earlier canceled his stall and went to Guo Jia's stall, seemingly to buy his items.

Seeing this, Wang Ming secretly admired Cao Cao's wit and the tacit understanding between him and Guo Jia.

The people who set up stalls here all have some in-game currency in their backpacks because they sold game items.

Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms is making use of what's available, collecting the game currency from these people with real money.

Sure enough, in just 2 minutes, Guo Jia from the Three Kingdoms canceled his stall, and then Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms started his stall. The two were transferring game currency.

"Young man, you have enough game coins. You can put it back on the shelves."

"Alright." Seeing how efficient Cao Cao was, Wang Ming didn't hesitate either, and immediately put the fang bracelet and fang longsword back on the market at 3 silver coins and 10 silver coins respectively.

"System notification: Your equipment - Fang Bracelet has been sold. After deducting a handling fee of 30 copper coins, you have received 2 silver coins and 70 copper coins."

"System notification: Your equipment - Fang Longsword has been sold. After deducting the handling fee of 1 silver coin, you have received 9 silver coins."

"Young man, let's add each other as friends. If you ever get any more of these good equipment in the future, just contact me and I'll take them all."

"Can."

"System notification: You have received a friend request from Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period. Would you like to accept it?"

"accept."

"Young man, you actually have a hidden profession, that's amazing."

At this stage, players can only see each other's level. To know someone's class, they can only judge by the weapon they are holding.

After adding each other as friends, you can directly see the other person's profession.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone in the Three Kingdoms was startled.

"Just lucky, just lucky."

"Hehe, young man, I look forward to your news." After saying this, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period led his men away from the place without asking any further questions.

Seeing that all the items were sold out, Wang Ming immediately canceled his stall.

Looking at the 14 silver coins and 22 copper coins in his backpack, Wang Ming turned and left.

Wang Ming first sold the hides of the black-bristled boar and the mutated black-bristled boar to the tailor shop, earning 50 copper coins. Then he went to the general store and bought a few return scrolls.

Return Scroll (Newbie Village #00777)

Description: After use, a teleportation array will be opened at the original location. Players can step into it to be teleported back to the starting village.
