Chapter 66 Digging a Hole for His Good Brother
[k神]: What game?
【4289359285】: Divine Gift, Warcraft, 10.10
[k神]: What part of the gear is it? How much does it cost?
【4289359285】: 1000 belts, can you handle that? Only accepting gold transactions.
Yu Xunhuan, who hadn't taken it seriously and was only interested in getting to know another player, suddenly became serious and began to consider how much benefit this matter could bring him.
His first thought was to sell it to Yu Xunge and use Yu Xunge to connect with the authorities.
Nowadays, the people he trusts most, besides Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, are Yu Xunge.
But he rejected the idea the next second. Connecting with the authorities would mean offending the Su family, which wasn't worth it.
However, he himself couldn't handle such a large profit; he had only managed to recruit fewer than ten players...
[K God]: How much is it in gold? What are its stats? I want to see the actual item.
【4289359285】: Each item can add 3-4 attribute points, and costs 2 jin of gold.
Two pounds of gold, around 500,000... This is clearly an exorbitant price.
Although Yu Xunhuan only participated in one closed beta test, he had browsed the auction house. Although he had a long-term vision and used all his money to learn professional skills and buy materials and skills, he didn't remember the specific prices of these equipment, but he could make them himself.
Take jewelry crafting as an example. Although he is only a beginner in jewelry crafting, he can already make earrings that can add 5 attribute points. It's just that the materials are extremely rare. Even if he could find substitutes in reality, they would cost more than a million...
However, this is largely due to the fact that jewelry processing materials are all jewelry. But based on his own situation, he could deduce that those specializing in leatherworking, sewing, and engineering could also produce equipment that adds attribute points, and the cost would definitely not be high, at least not like jewelry processing, which often requires purchasing hundreds of thousands or millions of gems.
But here's the problem: not everyone is like him, able to get hundreds of gold coins just by logging into the game once. Most people only get a few dozen silver coins from quests, which isn't enough to buy materials or even learn skills.
[K God]: I want to see the real thing.
...
Yu Xunge spent her days in her villa practicing alchemy. She refined 1,000 bottles of basic healing potions, intending to sell them to the Su family in exchange for gold.
This item is the fastest to become obsolete, but it's still quite valuable. Everyone starts with 100 HP, and a potion that restores 60 HP is basically a life. Ordinary people might hide and wait for it to regenerate automatically, but for rich people, they can't stand having their HP below 90%.
Although it's uncertain whether the Su family has trained its own alchemists, selling them and giving it a try won't be a loss.
Although she seemed to have provided initial assistance to the Su family, they could have bought these items even without her. It's not like the Su family would collapse without her. What difference does it make who she sells to? She can also reduce the Su family's gold reserves in the early stages before the importance of gold becomes apparent. Otherwise, the Su family would be waving paper money around if they went elsewhere to buy gold.
Yu Xunge didn't intend to take the initiative herself. She disguised herself and found the Gun King, dumped the matter on him, and specified that it could only be sold to the Su family. One bottle of potion was worth 100g of gold, and he could keep the rest.
Basic healing potions sell for only 1 silver in Zelan Star shops, but can be sold for 100g of gold, which is an astronomical price, fifty times the original price.
But don't cross-industry resellers always have to add a markup?
She left the medicine behind and took 200 jin of gold from the Gun King. She wasn't worried that the Gun King wouldn't do as she asked. Everyone was smart; she had her connections to bring out so many good things. Although she didn't know whether she had a grudge or a favor with the Su family, if the Gun King didn't sell to the Su family, they wouldn't come to him again for such a good deal.
However, Yu Xunge was not at ease with Aberdeen. Although Aberdeen was also smart, Hong Kong was far away and he did not value his reputation in the underworld like Gun King. Therefore, Yu Xunge only sold three samples to Aberdeen and told him to come to him after he had made a deal.
Driven by the prospect of huge profits, Gun King and Aberdeen were ruthless in setting their prices.
Yu Xunge uses the teleportation array to go to Zelan Star every day because when she transformed into a goblin to deliver wine to the female undead mentor last time, the mentor accepted the wine and then asked her to take out the potion she had recently refined, and then gave her a 10-minute lesson.
Since then, Yu Xunge has been bringing wine to the alchemy shop every day to ask questions of the female necromancer mentor. A bottle of high-end red or white wine can be used for a 10-minute lesson. She brings 5 bottles each time and has a 50-minute lesson. Subtracting the time spent walking and re-carving the teleportation array, she makes the most of her 1-hour disguise time.
Then go to the wilderness to level up for 5 hours, and in the afternoon use the disguise skill to find the undead female instructor with wine for a 50-minute lesson.
Although her experience points didn't increase, her understanding of potions grew every day. She could only learn the techniques by watching videos, but she could learn the properties of the potions and various pharmacological principles from the female necromancer mentor.
Yu Xunge's schedule is packed every day.
So much so that when she received a message from Aberdeen in early February asking her to bring the rest of the belts to Hong Kong City for the transaction, she was surprised to realize how fast time had passed when she checked the date.
She immediately used the old method to take a free flight to the port city, and after using her disguise skills, she arrived at the agreed location.
Aberdeen was waiting for her in a private room at the hotel. Yu Xunge had already used [Hunter's Eye] to check how many people were around. She found that both the private rooms on either side were full, but she wasn't dissatisfied. The number of people was within the normal range, and there was no ambush. She didn't touch the tea on the table: "Is it a deal? The person I introduced?"
The Hong Kong man didn't ask why the other party wanted him to sell to that person: "Yes, you can check, he and his wife live next door."
Yu Xunge nodded: "Where's the gold?"
Aberdeen opened the box on the table, which was full of gold bars.
Yu Xunge felt a sense of familiarity at first glance—what a familiar style! She also deftly took out a box of belts, and the two pushed the boxes in front of each other before starting to inspect the gold/equipment they had received.
Gold is easy to inspect. Her Soros pocket watch's detection skill can detect not only character information but also item information. As long as the purity of a piece of gold meets the standard, she can put it into her game inventory and see if it can be stacked. Not only that, it can also quickly calculate how many kilograms it weighs.
Those nine hundred-plus pieces of equipment were a bit troublesome, as each one had to be checked individually. However, Yu Xunge was very patient and waited for the other party to check, but she was secretly on guard against whether the other party would cause trouble.
Half an hour later, Aberdeen breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid it was a scam. He put away the equipment and said, "Happy transaction. If there are any more big orders like this, let's continue to cooperate."
He didn't intend to double-cross them. This was the city center, and everyone here was a player. Peaceful trade was the best option. Besides, they had made a lot of money from this deal. Although the Su family was unwilling to pay more gold, only offering one jin of gold per belt, they were willing to pay more money. With this transaction, they could earn an extra 10,000 yuan for each piece of equipment. With 1,000 pieces of equipment, that would be 10 million yuan. Even if they kept a few for themselves, the remaining 9 million yuan would be enough for them to live on for a year.
Yu Xunge got up and left decisively; her time to pretend was running out.
The medicine and belt together brought them a total of 1200 jin of gold from the Su family.
