YM778.TV Chapter 191 - 191: Now We Have to Set a Price
“Fifty Doomsday Coins, you’re really selling them for that much!” A man next to Song Jian gaped at him.
“It’s not that he’s selling them for fifty, it’s that the price starts at fifty Doomsday Coins, do you know what ‘starts at’ means?” Another person interjected.
“He’s acting as if this is an auction. The materials dropped by a level fifteen common monster are being sold for such a high price!”
“Indeed, but it seems everyone here needs this thing. I wonder what they’re using it for…”
“It must be useful, we just don’t know what for. However, fifty Doomsday Coins, heh heh…”
A few people were whispering to one another nearby. By now, they had realised that this “Fine Iron Boxing Gloves” must have a significant use, otherwise, these people wouldn’t have rushed over so hurriedly.
“Hey, bro, could you tell us what these ‘Fine Iron Boxing Gloves’ are used for?” A man with a stall leaned over to Song Jian and asked softly.
This man was Miao Hong, the one who initially misled Song Jian by saying that the “Fine Iron Boxing Gloves” could enhance his forging experience.
“They are used for forging and can produce level ten blue-quality equipment. Even if you fail, it will still boost your forging experience!” Song Jian glanced at him and responded coldly.
Miao Hong:”…”
Was he mad at him?
He had initially thought that Song Jian was an easy mark, but it turned out that Song Jian was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, tricking them all.
“But fifty Doomsday Coins, you dare to bid that price…” Miao Hong said, shaking his head.
An enigmatic smile appeared on Song Jian’s face as he suddenly turned his head and asked, “If I told you they all have a task requiring ten Fine Iron Boxing Gloves each, and these need to be obtained within three hours, no, now it’s two hours and forty minutes, would you say that one Fine Iron Boxing Glove is worth fifty Doomsday Coins?”
“It depends on the reward for that task. If the reward is a silver-quality weapon, I’d dare to bid five hundred Doomsday Coins for these Fine Iron Boxing Gloves!” Miao Hong was instantly excited.
“It’s just a profession initiation task, a test set by a combat profession mentor!” Song Jian said indifferently.
“What, a combat profession mentor? Where? It’s been nearly a week, and we haven’t even encountered one combat profession mentor. Damn it, this game is too difficult to play…” Miao Hong looked shocked.
“What, Xiao Miao, you have information on a combat profession mentor? Where? Don’t hog it, let’s go together!” Upon hearing this, a few vendors nearby also became excited and gathered around.
“Next to House No. 3 in the beautiful residential district, there’s a villa courtyard where an Ancient Martial Arts Master named Han Hai resides.” Song Jian generously shared the location of the combat profession mentor with them.
“Bro, you’re generous. If I were you, 1 would sell one boxing glove for at least a hundred Doomsday Coins. You know, our survival here depends on the few of us fighting for four days to get this…” Miao Hong gave Song Jian a thumbs up, hastily packed up his stall and ran towards the beautiful residential district with the others.
Song Jian smiled faintly. In fact, when he was buying these “Fine Iron Boxing Gloves,” he had already calculated their drop rate in his heart. It was too low. Probably Han Hai, the Martial Arts Master, had also ignored these people, hence choosing such a difficult test task. Otherwise, why was Jiang Hong’s test task easy and theirs so difficult?
Not much later, Miao Hong and the others, who had previously teamed up to hunt the “Iron Fist Zombies”, returned, grinning from ear to ear, and set up their stalls again.
“What happened…” Song Jian looked surprised.
“Haha, for some reason, the test task given to us by that Ancient Martial Arts Master, Han Hai, was to get twenty iron fist badges. These are also dropped by Iron Fist Zombies, but their drop rate and that of the Fine Iron Boxing Gloves can’t be compared. After killing ten Iron Fist Zombies, at least eight or nine Iron Fist badges will drop. We’ve already collected a bunch, which allowed us to complete the task right away, haha!” Miao Hong said, laughing heartily.
“I think the profession of the Ancient Martial Arts Master is pretty good, powerful moves, cool actions. When you reach levels 30-40, with one punch, you can wipe out a large group of monsters. Simply formidable!” someone nearby said, laughing.
“I also think it’s pretty good. Don’t forget, in this game, you can take your skills out, so in the future, I might even be able to become a World Boxing Champion for fun!”
A smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. These people were first-timers in dealing with combat profession mentors. In reality, each combat profession mentor showcases the strongest sides of their profession. They tend to gloss over the weaknesses and shortcomings of the profession. If you don’t specifically ask, they won’t tell you.
Initially, when Song Jian first exposed his ‘Musketeer’ profession, his blood boiled with excitement, and he wished he could assume the Musketeer profession immediately. But after truly understanding the Musketeer profession, he instantly lost interest in it.
Though Song Jian has not actually been exposed to the ‘Ancient Martial Arts Master’ profession, this profession is merely a good one. It’s not even a rare profession, let alone comparing it with the legendary profession of ‘Dragon Hunter’. It’s definitely inferior. Therefore, Song Jian was not very interested in the Ancient Martial Arts Master profession. He only wanted to complete Han Hai’s test task for the sake of completing the main line task.
Actually, up till now, the profession that Song Jian truly wanted to pursue was the legendary profession, ‘Dragon Hunter’. However, the more powerful the profession, the greater the restrictions to qualify. The Dragon Hunter required one to possess the Forbidden Dragon Bloodline, which Song Jian hardly had, hence he couldn’t qualify for this legendary profession.
“Alas, what a pity!” Song Jian shook his head, glanced at the two core skills of the Swordsman Immortal profession in his skill bar, and immediately became excited again.
“The unique ten professions: Immortal, Demon, Holy, King, God, Tao, Buddha, Prince, Scholar, Emperor! And the Swordsman Immortal is part of the Immortal, it would be wonderful if I could truly qualify for the unique profession!”
However, Song Jian also knew that even qualifying for a legendary profession was such a challenge, let alone an epic profession, followed by the unique profession. With this in mind, he could understand the difficulty of becoming a unique profession. After all, a unique profession signifies that in the entire game, only one person could qualify!
Just as Song Jian was fantasizing about the future, the group of people who had gone to kill the “Iron Fist Zombie” walked out of the mall, looking dejected.
Glancing at his task bar, Song Jian’s lips curled into a smile.
As he expected, there were less than thirty minutes left for the test task. This group must have deeply realised the pitiful drop rate of the “Fine Iron Boxing Gloves”.
“Fifty Doomsday Coins, I’ll take ten!” A player with a darkened face walked up to Song Jian and said.
“Ahem, just now it was fifty Doomsday Coins. Now, after two hours, all of you have just experienced how low the drop rate is. The price needs to go up!” Song Jian said somewhat apologetically.
The players looked at each other. Are you even human?
“Seventy Doomsday Coins, 1 want eight!” A young man nearby called out loudly.
Song Jian was startled, turning to look at him.
Not bad, kiddo. You’ve gotten two in two hours. It seems like you have some good luck!
