From Extreme Radiance's expression, Lufeng knew he was making excuses for himself, using Jixuan Fei as a shield. A person so arrogant would not admit to his mistakes so quickly.
After Lufeng left, Jixuan Fei was puzzled by Extreme Radiance's behavior: "Tian Ge, it's just us who have the Storekeeper's Secret right now. Are you afraid someone will take away our number one shop? Didn't you say that our speed can definitely match that of Xiaofeng's Dream?"
"Shut up! It's all because of that Beast Flower Face's sweet talk that I arrogantly thought there was no competition for the number one shop besides Ba Dao and Royal Beauty. Now I realize I was completely wrong. Ever since I saw Lufeng, I've been off the mark. This guy seems to be cheating; with our strength, we shouldn't be losing to him. If we encounter a few more talents like him, we won't be able to stand in Asking Heaven." Extreme Radiance felt frustrated and had lingering fears about Lufeng.
Jixuan Fei was even more confused: "Tian Ge, he's only level 35! Isn't that fast? We're already level 37. Are we really afraid he will take our number one shop? Look at them; they were dumbfounded by just a few thousand coins. Clearly, they are the bottom of the barrel—poor people who can't afford to buy a Shopkeeper. Among the millions of players, we alone dominate Aotou, seizing this opportunity. When the real wealthy big shots come to invest in Wen Tian, we'll still make a fortune. Don't worry about Lufeng, I'll show him who's boss."
"You dare! He will eventually be one of us. If you create enmity with him, you'll have to deal with the consequences."
Extreme Radiance exploded in anger, glaring at Jixuan Fei, scaring him into a cold sweat. While others might not know what Extreme Radiance was capable of, Jixuan Fei knew all too well; in reality, very few dared to go against his wishes.
"Are you so arrogant? Don't you know who is currently ranked number one in the world?! It's one of Lufeng's women. Didn't you notice there were only five of them just now? Let's go, level up quickly! We must reach level 50 before they obtain the Storekeeper's Secret!"
Extreme Radiance answered himself and hesitated for a moment before heading towards Qian Hongyu. The event dungeon had ended, and the fixed daily dungeon—[Three Rings]—was undoubtedly the first choice. As for grinding maps, only poor players would do that; with the current 10% mount bonus, it was even less likely for Extreme Radiance and his group to grind maps.
...
Before long, Lufeng and his group arrived at Wu Jie, spending 10 silver coins to accept the mapping quest, saving everyone on quest fees.
Mapping is one of the best ways to accumulate wealth. At level 30, players can accept this type of quest ten times; each acceptance costs 10 silver coins and rewards 40 silver coins upon completion, netting a profit of 30 silver coins per quest. This is just the small stuff; if they hit a treasure map, it would be at least 2 gold coins per map.
As soon as Lufeng and his group accepted the quest, players began arriving one after another to take on [Punishing the Evil and Mapping].
Seeing these players coming from all directions to accept mapping quests made Lufeng feel an opportunity; these players clearly didn't have any positioning yet, and there wasn't anyone here selling positioning or Yellow Paper.
"Bro... you're all here! That's great; we need more hands for mapping... By the way, how many maps have you guys gotten?"
Just then, Murong Xiaoxiao, who had reached level 40, came over to accept a quest from Wu Jie. Upon seeing Lufeng, her entire demeanor brightened up; her previous lethargy vanished.
Lufeng was taken aback: "You reached level 40?"
"Yes!" Murong Xiaoxiao smiled brightly: "What's wrong? It's not like there are rewards or anything; is it necessary to be so surprised?"
After a while, Lufeng finally came to his senses, realizing he had fallen into a misunderstanding. He thought there were rewards for every 10 levels, but it turned out that rewards were only given at levels 10, 20, and 30. After level 40, players were considered veterans and no longer received such rewards.
Understanding the situation, Lufeng instructed Wang Xiaojing and the others to go ahead and farm for materials while he discussed with Murong Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you don't need to farm anymore. I have a more important task for you."
"What is it?" Murong Xiaoxiao asked eagerly.
"You'll be selling positioning services here! I'll turn all the Yellow Papers into Locators, and you can let me know when you've sold them all."
Upon hearing about selling, Murong Xiaoxiao felt disappointed and said pitifully, "Can I not sell? I don't want to sell things; I want to farm with you guys. Is that okay?"
Lufeng scratched his head and gently replied, "Farming is hard work. I can't let our Xiaoxiao suffer, can I? Didn't you want to be a Shopkeeper? If you don't sell, how will you know the market trends? Just sit by the road and wait for us."
"Fine, but after we finish farming, you have to take me to grind for mounts. I want to hold the number one spot on the leaderboard forever," Murong Xiaoxiao compromised.
"Dream on!" Lufeng smiled and patted her head.
Murong Xiaoxiao swatted Lufeng's hand away and pouted, "Hey, stop patting my head! You can't just do that!"
After reaching level 40, Murong Xiaoxiao felt a sense of accomplishment for the first time. Although it was thanks to the Sunglasses Cat, she was still very happy. She wanted everyone to know of her existence so that she wouldn't be that little bird who couldn't fly high.
"Hehe~ Alright!"
While chatting with Murong Xiaoxiao, Lufeng continuously crafted Level 1 Locators. The crafted positioning items could be customized in color according to player preferences. Lufeng chose red and crafted them all at once to save time.
After a while, Lufeng used up the remaining eight sets of Yellow Paper and produced a total of 40 Level 1 Locators, which he handed over to Murong Xiaoxiao.
In Asking Heaven, items of the same type and level could stack; otherwise, Murong Xiaoxiao's 20-item inventory would not have been able to hold them all.
Murong Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "Brother, how should we sell them?"
Lufeng thought for a moment. A set of Yellow Paper cost 2 gold coins and could produce eight Level 1 Locators. If sold at one gold coin each, that would be 8 gold coins. After deducting costs and a 5% stall tax—without considering Handmade fees—each set of Yellow Paper would net a profit of 5 gold coins and 60 silver coins.
"Each Locator is 1 gold coin, no bargaining! Alright, I'm off to farm now."
"Mm!" Murong Xiaoxiao nodded obediently in response.
Seeing Murong Xiaoxiao's serious expression, Lufeng smiled. He believed that this small task was something Murong Xiaoxiao could handle well, and then he headed towards West Lake.
Watching Lufeng's departing figure, Murong Xiaoxiao felt a mix of emotions. She always felt like a burden, constantly causing trouble for Lufeng while being unable to help at all. Feeling somewhat lost, she decided to be herself again since no one had ever asked anything of her.
Once Lufeng was out of sight, Murong Xiaoxiao set up her stall, prepared her slogans, refused to negotiate on prices, and divided the Locators. She placed one in the first ten item slots and two in the next ten, leaving ten more Locators to add later when the others sold out.
As soon as Murong Xiaoxiao put them up for sale, players began to come by to purchase them. Some were shocked by the high price of one gold coin and angrily called her a scammer before turning away; others bought them without hesitation; many more tried to haggle with Murong Xiaoxiao. However, she sat there motionless and silent, leading all the players to believe she was mute. Eventually, no one bothered to negotiate anymore.
Before long, all 40 Locators were sold out. More players arrived only to find that Murong Xiaoxiao had finished selling and was still sitting there. They were disappointed with the veiled girl and could only sigh at not being able to buy a Locator.
Murong Xiaoxiao never expected that being mute would actually help her sell better. She quickly messaged Lufeng: "Brother, they're all sold out! I made a profit of 44 gold and 80 silver. I'll come find you soon."
At that moment, Lufeng had just arrived at West Lake and received Murong Xiaoxiao's message. He was overjoyed: "The days of making money have arrived, haha!"
Lufeng couldn't believe that in just a few minutes, all 40 level one Locators had sold out. This temporarily uncompetitive market was guaranteed profit. He was now 100% certain that very few people had learned Close at Hand, Far Away; even those who had learned it didn't have access to Yellow Paper.
The players had no choice; there was only one seller of level one Locators available. A level one Locator could be used eight times, so even if it was priced at two gold coins, they had to buy it. However, many players couldn't afford it; Lufeng's arrangement was relatively humane. If they managed to defeat the dungeon, they would earn even more.
Lufeng pondered for a moment and instructed Murong Xiaoxiao to pack up and wait for him at the same spot before contacting Childish Can Also Become a God: "Bro, I need to buy Yellow Paper in bulk..."
