"Kill!"
Deep within the Gorge, the sound of battle echoed. Although this was a level 70 Brute, under the reasonable and flexible control of Yi Tianchen and the others, it couldn't leap around too much. After all, they were still engaging in a group hunt, taking advantage of their numbers.
At that moment...
In Mist and Rain Commerce, Liu Yuhan hurried into the Auction House. Not long ago, she had received a message from Mo Ziwen, stating that a player from afar wanted to sell something rather special.
Soon, Liu Yuhan met this person.
He was a player in his thirties, dressed in rather mixed equipment, with the nickname Thousand Mountains, One Leaf. His level was not low either; he was already at level 59, which certainly marked him as a skilled player in the current environment.
"Ha ha... This is our President from Mist and Rain Commerce!" Mo Ziwen introduced her and continued, "Since our friend has traveled all the way from Dongli City, what you have must be something extraordinary. Could you show us what you brought?"
"Of course!"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf's gaze sharpened as he pulled out a diamond-shaped crystal shimmering with a fiery red glow from his bag. At first glance, Liu Yuhan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly suppressed her excitement.
"Whoosh—"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf waved his hand, and a large expanse of light spilled out—
[Elemental Fragment of Fire]: A mysterious crystal that seems to possess some powerful magical energy. It is one of the essential elements needed to activate the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array. Quest item; cannot be used!
"Brother, are you sure you're not joking?" Mo Ziwen chuckled.
"Do I really need to travel all the way from Dongli City just to play such a joke on you?" Thousand Mountains, One Leaf's expression darkened as he replied seriously. "This is something our team accidentally obtained from a powerful Undead BOSS..."
"But it's just a quest item!"
Liu Yuhan calmly said, "Moreover, this is an item for a task that has no explicit hints. Do you really think anyone would be willing to bid on something that could be considered priceless yet also worthless?"
"…"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf was taken aback, his lips twitching slightly, clearly unwilling to accept the situation. He continued, "I checked online, and there’s no information from the game officials at all. This alone shows how special this item is. How could no one want it?"
"You've hit the nail on the head. The absence of any information suggests that triggering the so-called task with this item relies entirely on luck, doesn't it?"
Liu Yuhan shifted her tone and continued, "Furthermore, according to the item's description, this is merely one of the essential elements needed to activate that… Five Elements Soul Sealing Array. From this point of view, can I understand that in order to trigger the task, we also need to collect the other Elemental Fragments?"
"Given that acquiring even one is purely a matter of luck, we would then need even more luck to obtain the other Elemental Fragments to complete the entire task trigger. I think… under such circumstances, anyone willing to bid must either be a fool or have their head stuck in a door!" Mo Ziwen added.
"Uh..."
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf was momentarily speechless, finally responding after a pause, "Indeed, we had thought about these things before but couldn't help but come here. Our team is really short on gold coins, heh..."
"I'm truly sorry!"
Liu Yuhan smiled lightly and then left but immediately sent Mo Ziwen a private message: "Get this item at all costs."
Mo Ziwen glanced at it but maintained his composure while starting to calculate in his mind. He then heard Thousand Mountains, One Leaf say, "I'm really sorry for disturbing you; I'll take my leave!"
"Brother, please wait!"
Mo Ziwen chuckled and urged him to stay. "I just heard you mention that your team is in urgent need of gold coins?"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf nodded seriously and replied helplessly, "Actually, before this, we had already looked for quite a few buyers in Dongli City, but no one wanted it. That's why we thought of taking a gamble by leveraging your Auction House's reputation..."
"I’m grateful for your trust in Mist and Rain Auction House. Since you've come from afar with such sincerity, I can't bear to let you leave empty-handed..."
"Do you have a way?"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf's expression changed, and a glimmer of hope rose in his eyes as he said earnestly, "If your Auction House can help sell this item, I am willing to pay double the commission!"
"Auction... that might not be possible!"
Mo Ziwen sighed and then shifted his tone, saying, "However, because of the Auction House, I have quite a few friends who keep in touch with me. Among them, there are some who enjoy collecting peculiar items..."
"Really?"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf was overjoyed. He heard Mo Ziwen nodding and saying, "How about this! It's not easy for you to come here; just give me a bottom price, and I'll ask them for you. How does that sound?"
"2000 gold!"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf did not hesitate; it was clear he had prepared for this. However, seeing Mo Ziwen's shocked expression made his heart skip a beat. He tentatively asked, "Is that too expensive?" After biting his lip, he added, "How about 1800? Hmm, it can't be any less than that—just 1800!"
"1800..."
Mo Ziwen pretended to be troubled as he paced back and forth before stating seriously, "Alright, I'll ask around! But I can't guarantee the outcome."
"I understand, thank you!"
After about ten minutes of waiting, Mo Ziwen suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Brother, you're in luck! I have a friend who is interested in this item and is already on his way here. The chances look promising!"
"Really?"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf finally breathed a sigh of relief. Rubbing his hands together as if waiting to count gold coins, he smiled and said, "I really can't thank you enough!"
"No need to be polite!"
"Well, we're all just trying to get by, relying on friends from all walks of life. Today I help you, and tomorrow it might be your turn to help me. You never know, right?" Mo Ziwen said with a laugh.
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf scratched his head in embarrassment.
A few minutes later, a girl walked into the room. Mo Ziwen immediately introduced her, but Thousand Mountains, One Leaf was puzzled. He never expected that the one interested in this item would be a girl.
But thinking about it, it made some sense!
Girls do tend to like shiny things, and she was dressed in an expensive casual long dress—clearly the type who indulges in games for entertainment. If she liked something, price wouldn't be an issue.
"Hello!" Thousand Mountains, One Leaf greeted her actively and then took out the item. The bright red glow shimmered and danced as if it had a spirit of its own, definitely appealing to the girl.
"Can I take a look?" she asked.
"Um..." Thousand Mountains, One Leaf hesitated. Showing the item to a player meant it would be a direct trade; if the other party changed their mind, there would be no way to seek justice.
"Hehe..."
Mo Ziwen stepped in at the right moment and said seriously, "Brother, I guarantee this under the honor of Mist and Rain Auction House. If you're still worried, I can put up 1800 gold coins as collateral right now. How does that sound?"
"Alright!"
After a mental struggle, Thousand Mountains, One Leaf finally relented. "No need for the gold coins; I trust the reputation of Mist and Rain Auction House!"
With that, Thousand Mountains, One Leaf initiated the trade and noted down the girl's nickname—Yuyanran!
"Um—"
The girl observed for a long time, occasionally nodding and then shaking her head, wearing an expression of uncertainty. Beside her, Thousand Mountains, One Leaf felt his heart tighten and then lighten in response.
Mo Ziwen began to introduce the item in various ways.
Of course, Mo Ziwen's intention was to praise the item, clearly trying to persuade the girl to buy it. Hearing this, Thousand Mountains, One Leaf felt moved as well, but when he saw the girl still hesitating, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Alright!"
The girl seemed to finally make up her mind and said earnestly, "I trust you, Brother Mo. The things you recommend must be good! This little item is indeed quite beautiful. I’ll go to South Street later and ask Brother Jewelry to make a hole in it for a small pendant!"
"Uh..."
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf couldn't help but be taken aback. While he found it amusing, he also secretly sighed in relief. It was clear that this girl knew little about many things in the game, yet she could still talk about making a hole for a pendant.
"But..."
The girl frowned slightly. "I only have 1500 gold coins left on me right now. How about this? I'll return the item to you for now, and I'll come back with more gold coins. Um... I’ll also bring my brother along to help me take a look. Does that sound good?" She looked at Thousand Mountains, One Leaf with a cheerful expression and initiated a trade.
"Uh..."
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf was at a loss for words. This girl was clearly wealthy; she casually mentioned having only 1500 gold coins left while their small team earned just 3000 gold coins in pure profit each week.
However, Thousand Mountains, One Leaf seized on the key point...
The girl said she would bring her brother over! While this girl was innocent and straightforward in her affections, what about her brother?
What if her brother flatly refused?
"Eh..."
With a sudden exclamation, Thousand Mountains, One Leaf canceled the transaction and smiled, saying, "I can tell that you really like this item... Hmm, how about this? I'll take the liberty to sell it to you for 1500 gold coins!"
"Is... is that okay?"
MM's joy was evident, and Mo Ziwen chimed in just in time, "Hehe, then I congratulate both of you on successfully completing the transaction."
"Alright, thank you!"
MM smiled sweetly, easily covering the 300 gold that had been cut off. She applied for the transaction again and transferred 1500 gold coins, adding, "If you have any more good items like this next time, remember to come back!"
"Sure, definitely!"
Thousand Mountains, One Leaf felt a mix of emotions; was this item something one could just wish for? At the same time, he was even more certain that MM was just a novice in the game. He secretly felt lucky to encounter such a beginner since he had been holding onto this item for several days.
...
Before long, Liu Yuhan received a message: Done!
