Chapter 199
Chapter 199 - Flaming Sun Scripture
Displayed on the half-transparent pale-blue screen, the price of the Flaming Sun Scripture was similarly striking .
“Crap! This seller must have been dropped on his head as a child!” Shi Feng loudly cursed the moment he saw the price .
In actuality, Shi Feng wasn’t the only person who loudly cursed when they saw the price for this Flaming Sun Scripture; some players would even couple their curses with a few finger motions .
A thousand Gold Coins . This person was simply insane .
Shi Feng then took a look at the seller’s name .
“Sinfully Handsome . ”
Shi Feng could only look at this person with respect when seeing this exotic name . Just how much of a narcissist was this person?
Looking at this name, Shi Feng could also vaguely guess the reason why the price of this Flaming Sun Scripture was so high .
However, since he had seen the Flaming Sun Scripture, he could not easily give it up . Hence, he sent out a communication request to this person called Sinfully Handsome . However, Shi Feng hid his name when he made the call, preventing this Sinfully Handsome from discovering his identity .
After waiting for ten seconds or so, Sinfully Handsome picked up the call .
“Who are you? What business do you have with me? You can’t be asking me to power-level you, right? If you’re a pretty girl, this brother can carry you to victory with me,” narcissism filled Sinfully Handsome’s voice when he spoke, and he gave others the hint of being a hooligan .
Shi Feng was instantly dumbfounded when he heard Sinfully Handsome’s words .
Girl?
Carry you to victory?
Just who was this person?
Even a person like this could obtain the Flaming Sun Scripture? Was this world already in such a mess?
“Hey, speak a few words, why don’t you? Are you dead? Don’t tell me you’re a tranny, right? This brother doesn’t have that kind of taste,” Sinfully Handsome suddenly started panicking .
“Hello, I’m interested in buying the Flaming Sun Scripture that you’ve placed on the Auction House . I wonder if you can sell it to me at a lower price?” Shi Feng asked .
“Oh! So you want to buy that item? Of course, I can!” Sinfully Handsome smiled in realization, “I’ll slightly reduce the price for you then! How does 900 Gold sound? This is a very justifiable price!”
Shi Feng faintly smiled at Sinfully Handsome’s asking price . He then calmly stated his own price, “20 Silver Coins . ”
Shi Feng did not believe Sinfully Handsome knew the Flaming Sun Scripture’s true value .
Only fire-type humanoids Level 10 or higher would drop the Flaming Sun Scripture . However, its drop rate was somewhat low, so its selling price was very high; the average person usually couldn’t afford it . Even so, it was still not worth an insane 1,000 Gold . With that kind of money, players could even purchase an Epic ranked item . Why would they bother buying an item like the Flaming Sun Scripture if they had that kind of money?
“Hey, fellow brother, you’re not being sincere here . You are the one who took the initiative to contact me, yet, you’re offering such a price? Do you know which Guild I belong to?” Sinfully Handsome beamed a smile, proudly saying, “Have you heard of Dark Star before? It’s an apex third-rate Guild in White River City! With this name alone, shouldn’t you at least offer 100 Gold?”
Dark Star, it was indeed a powerful Guild in White River City .
However, what did that have to do with Shi Feng?
“One Gold Coin . If you don’t wish to sell, then forget it,” Shi Feng understood that Sinfully Handsome took him for a fool . However, he was also in quite a need for the Flaming Sun Scripture, so he decided to offer such a high price . Unfortunately, Sinfully Handsome misunderstood Shi Feng’s intentions .
“You have to think through this clearly . In the entire White River City, only I possess this Flaming Sun Scripture! Seeing that you’re an honest person, I’ll make a large sacrifice and sell it to you for 10 Gold with an additional 100,000 Credits . If you still don’t want it, I can only look for another buyer,” Sinfully Handsome confidently said .
“Goodbye!” Shi Feng immediately disconnected the call .
Sinfully Handsome suddenly panicked when Shi Feng disconnected the call . He did not think that Shi Feng would be so decisive . At least try to bargain! Watching his 1 Gold Coin fly out of his grasp, Sinfully Handsome’s heart bled with regret . However, he was too embarrassed to contact Shi Feng again .
“Humph! I don’t believe that you can so easily give up on this Flaming Sun Scripture!” Sinfully Handsome snorted .
Although he did not know the use of the Flaming Sun Scripture, based on its powerful and tyrannical name, it was not an ordinary item . Sinfully Handsome was very sure that Shi Feng knew this item’s value . However, he did not wish to pay too high a price, so he retreated for the sake of advancing . With this thought, Sinfully Handsome was further assured of the Flaming Sun Scripture’s value; it was definitely worth more than 1,000 Gold Coins .
Hence, Sinfully Handsome ran towards the Auction House, changing the price of the Flaming Sun Scripture from 1,000 Gold Coins to 10,000 Gold Coins . He wanted to see if Shi Feng was willing to beg him for this item .
However, when Sinfully Handsome arrived at the Auction House, he discovered that there was not only a single Flaming Sun Scripture on auction anymore; there were five of these books now . Aside from his copy, priced at 10,000 Gold Coins, the other four books were all priced at 15 Silver Coins .
The most inconceivable thing was that the number of Flaming Sun Scriptures up for auction continued to increase . In the blink of an eye, there were already 10 copies of the book up for sale .
“Just what sort of situation is this?” Sinfully Handsome’s eyes widened; he thought he was dreaming right now . How could there be so many Flaming Sun Scriptures??
While the quantity of these Flaming Sun Scriptures increased, someone else bought them, one after another .
There were a total of 32 copies of the Flaming Sun Scripture offered in the Auction House . Among them, Shi Feng had bought 30 of them . Only Sinfully Handsome’s copy and another copy sold by Nobody Cares for 20 Silver Coins remained .
Sinfully Handsome suddenly thought of something . He then hurriedly opened the trade section under White River City’s official forums .
As expected, there was an anonymous post stating: Buying Flaming Sun Scriptures at 14 Silver Coins per book! Willing to purchase it at 15 Silver Coins if placed in the Auction House .
One could often find such purchasing methods in virtual reality games . After all, players had plenty of items that they kept on hand without placing them on the Auction House . There were only a scarce amount of players like Sinfully Handsome who would place items of unknown value on the Auction House .
Shi Feng also remembered this fact, and he thought that, by now, there should be quite a few players who have gotten their hands on a Flaming Sun Scripture .
“Ah! My 1 Gold Coin!” Sinfully Handsome wanted to cry . Originally, he thought that the Flaming Sun Scripture’s value could rival that of an Epic ranked item . However, after seeing so many other players possessing this item, Sinfully Handsome immediately realized his mistake . If he had sold his copy for 1 Gold Coin, he would have made a huge profit .
Elsewhere, Shi Feng felt great satisfaction after purchasing 30 copies of the Flaming Sun Scripture . He would have completely forgotten about this item’s existence if he had not discovered the Flaming Sun Scripture on the Auction House in the first place .
“Thirty books should be enough for my purposes . ” Shi Feng looked at the 30 Flaming Sun Scriptures laying in his bag, utterly pleased .
Although he had spent 4 Gold, 50 Silvers, shrinking his assets slightly, the Gold Coins he possessed would only depreciate as time passed . It was much better if he used those Gold Coins to profit further .
Thus, Shi Feng had spent so much money to purchase the Flaming Sun Scriptures .
In Shi Feng’s previous life, plenty of players had obtained the Flaming Sun Scripture . Unfortunately, none of them knew its purpose . Hence, they sold it at bargain prices . However, there was a Ranger who had desperately bought these Flaming Sun Scriptures . Even after the prices of the Flaming Sun Scriptures rose to 1 Gold Coin per book, that player still bought them without hesitation, earning the suspicion of many .
So, many players started to investigate the Flaming Sun Scripture .
On one occasion, a party of players met with a Ranger who grinded solo at the Level 25 map, Flame God’s Cave . Moreover, that Ranger displayed a shocking scene of killing the Boss and Elite monsters there by himself . Later on, however, the players discovered that the reason the Ranger could grind at the Flame God’s Cave alone was all thanks to the Flaming Sun Scripture .
From then on, the secret of the Flaming Sun Scripture was revealed, causing its price to skyrocket . In the end, even when the Flaming Sun Scripture sold for 3 Gold Coins per book, there were still players willing to buy it .
Right now, Shi Feng had only spent 15 Silver Coins to purchase each book . He had made a huge profit from this trade .
In any case, Blackie and the others still needed a long time before they could return to White River City . Since Shi Feng had nothing better to do, he might as well grind the Boss at the Flame God’s Cave . After all, his current strength was too weak right now . He could complete neither the Epic Quest, Darkness Descends, nor the Unique Quest, Demon’s Heart . Moreover, there were plenty of important quests in White River City that required a team to carry out . This was the tragedy that befell all solo players . Hence, grinding Bosses was the best option available for Shi Feng at the moment .
Most importantly, the Flame God’s Cave was a valuable location specialized in dropping forging designs . These forging designs had made that Ranger into a rich man, and he had earned over 600 Gold Coins from all the forging designs he sold, becoming the envy of countless players .
Soon after, Shi Feng hurried towards the teleportation gate . He paid a fee of 24 Silver Coins and teleported to Red Flame Fortress, the nearest teleportation point to the Flame God’s Cave .
