The merchant prioritizes profit, and Qiao Zhiguang is no exception. Upon seeing Lufeng arrive, he said nothing. Fortunately, Lufeng understood the situation well. To smoothly take on the task, he secretly gifted Qiao Zhiguang a small present. While others received gold coins, Lufeng naturally offered something like Joy Oil, which left Qiao Zhiguang so excited that he was at a loss for words, unable to contain his inner excitement.
However, Qiao Zhiguang was not naive; he merely glanced at Lufeng a few times before slowly saying, "Although I am a merchant, I only do business with Gang. If you want to earn gold coins from me, you must first join Gang and have your Gang officials grant you merchant status. Then you can go to the Money Exchange in Gang City to receive a Commercial Bill. After that, it will be no different from Canal Transport; you sell Gang's goods to me and then sell my goods back to Gang. In the end, you will earn gold coins..."
"Let's talk about something else; I'm not interested in Trade Runs!"
Lufeng felt sleepy listening to him; it went in one ear and out the other. Now that he already had a Duty-Free Shop, there was no need to waste time on Trade Runs. Selling some items himself was far more profitable, so why bother with Trade Runs? After listening for a long time without hearing what he wanted to know, Lufeng had no choice but to interrupt Qiao Zhiguang.
Qiao Zhiguang was taken aback; it was the first time someone interrupted his introduction, and even more surprising was hearing someone express disinterest in Trade Runs. It is known that becoming a merchant is not easy; being a merchant in a gang is akin to being a civil servant today, earning a stable salary. For a large gang, many people would fight tooth and nail just to become merchants. Yet this young man seemed uninterested in Trade Runs, prompting Qiao Zhiguang to scrutinize him.
After observing for a while, Qiao Zhiguang still could not discern any difference between Lufeng and other players. It was quite baffling. Ultimately, he categorized Lufeng among the 250 ranks and lost interest in discussing Trade Runs.
"Well, I usually don't share information about Trade Runs with ordinary people. Since you are not interested in Trade Runs, I won't waste my breath. This Wrapped Silver Martial Arts Seal is from Zhou Tianshi for you; please accept it!"
"Thank you!!!"
Lufeng smiled slightly; he finally got what he wanted. With this, all tasks in Luoyang were completed satisfactorily. With the additional reward of the Bronze Martial Arts Seal, his strength could be enhanced more quickly.
However, while Lufeng was engaged in these low-experience tasks, other players quickly caught up in levels, and Lufeng and his group were soon pushed down the level leaderboard.
"Ding!"
System Announcement: Congratulations to player War Soul Mourning for being the first to reach level 50.
Once the announcement was made, there was an uproar; all players were shocked by the War Soul Family. It should be noted that the War Soul Family had only entered Asking Heaven two days late. They had just gained fame in Heavenly Dragon, while Asking Heaven dominated the online gaming world, drawing all players into its virtual realm. The War Soul Family had no choice but to enter Wen Tian World. However, what surprised everyone was that these players who joined two days late could still climb the level rankings, truly a remarkable feat.
However, when everyone saw War Soul Mourning's equipment, they were even more astonished and speechless. Without access to gold and Reality Currency exchanges, these players had fully equipped themselves with level four stones, all top-tier Handmade items above level 40. They truly resembled wealthy landowners; with such a grand entrance, who could compete?
Before long, the System Announcement sounded again:
“Ding!”
System Announcement: Congratulations to War Soul Mourning for establishing Store No. 1【Battle Soul Shop】! We look forward to everyone's visit!!!
Upon hearing this announcement, the most frustrated was Extreme Radiance. The Shopkeeper they had purchased at great expense was unused, and now Store No. 1 was gone, resulting in a significant loss. They looked longingly at Lufeng's Duty-Free Shop. Other players, however, were not as shocked; it seemed that War Soul Mourning always brought unexpected surprises, and after getting used to it, it became quite normal.
Seeing others perform so impressively, Gao Chao couldn't help but express his displeasure: “What a freak! Spoiled rich kid! Level 250 already has full level four stones; are they letting anyone else play? Damn it, if this team pulls out of the ancient tomb, no one else will be able to enter and level up.”
“Not necessarily. I heard that War Soul Mourning is a fake! He used to be a Network Administrator, and somehow he became a god in Heavenly Dragon. Who would have thought he’d still be a god in Asking Heaven!” Qin Shou carelessly revealed the past history of War Soul Mourning.
“You don’t know anything. Asking Heaven operates independently. If no one invested in him or if he wasn’t already wealthy himself, it would be impossible for him to acquire such good equipment now.”
Opinions varied widely, but no one had actually seen the real War Soul Mourning. Rumors spread further from hearsay; what truly mattered was how well one performed rather than just focusing on others!
As for whether or not War Soul Mourning was a fake, there were already some bored individuals making speculations: If War Soul Mourning is not a fake and someone mentioned his past as a “Network Administrator,” then it seems his previous job was indeed as a Network Administrator. If that's the case, gamers are very familiar with internet cafes and know this profession well. Whenever there's an issue with a computer, you often hear someone shouting “Damn it! Network Administrator! Come quickly; the computer is frozen!” This profession is tough and doesn’t pay well.
Of course, no one can clearly define life’s circumstances or judge heroes by their origins. Perhaps he suddenly won the lottery? According to screenshots on forums, casually throwing around 16 million should mean winning not just 5 million but possibly several tens of 5 million. This is indeed unbelievable. In any case, this implies that from being a Network Administrator, he suddenly became a billionaire. This is reality, not some cliché idol drama. Personally, I find this even more incredible than grinding for “True Heavy Tower” in Shuhe. As someone running a business myself, seeing 16 million written out means 16 followed by a string of zeros; if you stack that amount in cash bills, you’ll understand what that number represents.
In fact, everyone would rather believe that War Soul is not a scam, because in this harsh reality, we prefer to believe that miracles will eventually happen, occasionally occurring among you, me, and him, giving people the hope that dreams can still be realized to comfort the masses. However, if anyone were to transition from a job that involves daily survival (like being a Network Administrator) to becoming a tycoon, would they still continue playing games? They would definitely focus on more practical matters like buying a house or starting a business, because for those who start from the bottom, the ultimate goal of their struggle is to gain social status and recognition, and only then would they seek further social acknowledgment and understanding in a virtual world like gaming.
If War Soul Mourning is indeed a scammer, looking at his previous job, anyone who has spent time in internet cafes knows that Network Administrators often socialize well with many people who do nothing all day because they spend more time together. Consequently, they have more time and connections to engage in the profession of game scamming. Since we are talking about professions, there must be income involved that can be recognized. Although many players detest this practice, from the perspective of operators, it is also a necessary marketing strategy. Essentially, the game itself is a battle between operators and players; players can reasonably exploit rules and bugs while I can also employ tactics. The essence of this conflict is that one side refuses to open their wallet while the other side tries every means to extract money from them.
Therefore, even if he is a scammer, his existence is justified. I would rather believe that War Soul might have quit his job and started a game studio with friends he met in internet cafes, professionally engaging in game marketing work; perhaps this way he earns more and works less hard.
However, given the current situation, whether War Soul Mourning is a scammer has become unimportant; what matters is that he has been able to regain his former glory in the super-era game Asking Heaven. As such, the future of Wen Tian World will likely be filled with bloodshed; the sequel to Heavenly Dragon marks the beginning of Asking Heaven, and his past issues with Laugh at My Madness will surely resurface.
For Lufeng, these matters concerning the big shots have no impact on him. Now that his own Duty-Free Shop has opened up, as long as he continues on this path, the six people in his studio can also achieve greatness and become the focus of millions.
At this moment, Gao Chao and Qin Shou were still arguing passionately about whether War Soul Mourning was a scammer, making them seem quite foolish...
"Have you two said enough? Whether he’s a scammer or not is none of your business! You should be concerned about what matters instead of worrying about things that don’t concern you. Right now our levels and strength are far behind others; don’t you think about what we’ll do in the future?" Wang Xiaojing couldn’t help but interrupt the two fools. On the other hand, she felt quite lost about the future as if an insurmountable gap had been created by War Soul Mourning, making her anxious. But upon seeing the calm demeanor of Lufeng, her restless heart began to settle down.
Lufeng gave Wang Xiaojing a comforting smile and said calmly: "Everyone can see now that the key lies within ourselves. There’s no need for anyone to worry or feel competitive or vain. Don’t just focus on others' strengths; pay more attention to your own shortcomings. Understand yourself and continuously improve. Given our current advantages, it’s possible for us to catch up with or even surpass War Soul Mourning..."
"Well said!"
Before Lufeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted as everyone turned to look back at them, stunned by their momentum.
