The next day, Wang Ming went into the game after finishing breakfast.
"System notification: Welcome back to the Metaverse World."
"System notification: The content of this Yuan Domain update is the faction war - Daylight City and Night City have a long-standing feud. This time, Night City Lord Ye Langtian led hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Daylight City, and Daylight City Lord Bai Xiao led his troops to intercept them."
"System prompt: Players are requested to assist the city lord in the battle against Night City. Players can obtain faction points in this faction war, which can be exchanged for various rewards."
...
"System notification: The item you listed - Soul Eater Dagger - has been sold."
"System notification: The item you listed - Dark Prison Bracelet - has been sold."
"System notification: The item you listed - the Corrupted Bone Helmet - has been sold."
"System notification: The skill book you listed - Arcane Shield - has been sold."
...
"Faction wars, faction points. I think I got faction points from killing the NPC in Night City last time. I don't know if this is it."
Wang Ming opened the faction war system and found the interface for exchanging faction points for rewards.
Daylight City faction points:
"So that's how it is. So that's how faction points are used."
When Wang Ming entered the Obsidian Mine, he killed many NPCs in Night City, and later even killed Night Star, gaining more than 10,000 faction points.
"A 6-star treasure, an S-rank skill book, and a hidden job change scroll."
"These rewards are quite generous."
"There are also pet rewards, but unfortunately the highest level is only Saint-level."
"Huh, what's this item for exchange? A Cold Light Stone!"
Coldlight Stone (Special Item)
Grade: Rank 5
Note: This is a material used for crafting equipment. It is extremely precious. Adding this material when crafting equipment can increase the equipment's grade by one level, and there is a certain chance that it can increase the equipment's grade by two levels (up to Xuanqi).
Redeem Points: 2000
...
"The rewards for faction wars actually include Coldlight Stones."
The Cold Light Stone is a material used to upgrade the Chaos Origin Gauntlets. Wang Ming had no news about it until today when he unexpectedly saw it.
"It seems I have no choice but to participate in this faction war."
There's not much to gain from wars between NPCs, and Wang Ming originally didn't want to participate. But now that there's the reward of the Cold Light Stone, he has no choice but to join.
Wang Ming immediately clicked the option to participate in the faction war.
"System notification: You have participated in the faction war. Since you belong to Daylight City, your faction is Daylight City. Please arrive at the west gate of Daylight City before 8 o'clock."
"8 o'clock. It's 7:20 now, there's still plenty of time." Wang Ming then opened the auction house system and collected all the gold coins that had been auctioned.
"System notification: The item you listed - Soul Eater Dagger - has been sold. After deducting the transaction fee of 4200 gold coins, you have received gold coins."
"System notification: The item you listed - Dark Prison Bracelet - has been sold. After deducting the handling fee of 3300 gold coins, you have received gold coins."
"System notification: The item you listed - the Corrupted Bone Helmet - has been sold. After deducting the handling fee of 2100 gold coins, you have received gold coins."
"System notification: The item you listed - Arcane Shield - has been sold. After deducting the transaction fee of 3800 gold coins, you have received gold coins."
System notification: ...
"Weapons cost over 40,000 gold coins, jewelry over 30,000, armor over 20,000, and S-grade skill books over 30,000 gold coins."
"This price is acceptable."
Despite the large number of gold coins Wang Ming sold, the ratio of gold coins to Chinese yuan has dropped to 1:50. All the items sold combined amount to only ten million Chinese yuan, which is incomparable to the initial price of Yuanyu.
What Wang Ming needs right now is gold coins. The exchange rate has dropped, but prices have actually gone up, which is a good thing for Wang Ming.
"The handling fee is too expensive."
Wang Ming received a total of over 170,000 gold coins this time, which were immediately deducted by the system. These gold coins were enough for Wang Ming to buy a lot of spirit stones.
"We still have to sell it to the Yan merchants."
Wang Ming opened his game friends list and found Yan Shang.
Making money is a skill, profession: Ghost Dancer (first job advancement), level: 31, guild: Fine Rain Crossing Prosperity, affiliation: Daylight City.
"Goodness, level 31, hasn't even changed jobs after the second job advancement. It seems this guy is really just here to make money."
"But isn't this kid Yan Qingcheng's younger brother? Why would he be short of money?"
Wang Ming shook his head, too lazy to care about any of that; all he cared about was consuming the equipment he had.
Wang Ming then sent a voice invitation to Yan Shang.
"Brother Wang, you were looking for me."
"Yes, I have a lot of equipment. I'll pack it all up and give it to you. Do you want it?"
"Yes, of course I want it, Brother Wang, give me the coordinates and I'll be right there."
"good."
A moment later, the Yan merchant arrived at Wang Ming's place.
"Hey, Brother Wang, I'm here."
"Well, I have to participate in the faction war later, let's get straight to the point."
"I have five level 45 6-star treasures, 24 5-star spirit weapons, one S-rank buff skill book for a swordsman, and one S-rank buff skill book for a ruler. Take a look at the stats and name your price."
"This time I only want gold coins, not Chinese yuan."
Wang Ming sent all the equipment attributes except for the weapons to Yan Shang.
Upon hearing Wang Ming's words, Yan Shang's eyes lit up, and he then looked at the attribute texture.
"Brother Wang, don't you have any weapons with this equipment?"
"Yes, I have other uses for the weapons."
"Brother Wang, it's like this. Currently, the prices of 6-star treasures on the market vary depending on their characteristics. Weapons are generally between 40,000 and 50,000, jewelry is 30,000 to 40,000, and armor is around 20,000."
"However, Brother Wang, although your equipment has good stats, its level is a bit too high. There are very few players in this game who have reached level 40, so it will take a long time to sell it."
"Brother Wang, how about this?"
"I'll buy these 5 six-star treasures for 110,000 gold coins. I'll also buy five-star spirit weapons and jewelry for 10,000 gold coins each, and armor for 7,000 gold coins each."
"As for these two skill books, the Sword Sweeping Technique* is 100,000 gold coins, and the Rock-Solid Technique is 90,000 gold coins."
Wang Ming thought about it and felt that the price was fair, or even high, for these two skill books, so he agreed.
"Sure, but what I need this time is gold coins. All of these things together amount to hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Can you take them all out at once?"
"Hehe, Brother Wang, you're underestimating me. I'm ranked number 1 on the wealth list, with a net worth of 3 million gold coins. A mere few hundred thousand gold coins is nothing to me."
What? It only costs 3 million gold coins?
Wang Ming remembered that Yan Shang only had 300,000 gold coins yesterday, and the game had only been under maintenance for a little over two hours. Now it has increased tenfold.
"It seems this kid has a lot of connections. No wonder he didn't contact me when he came to the main city."
"Okay, let's make a deal."
"System notification: Your transaction is complete, and you have received gold coins."
