After entering the game, Mo Fan was still at where he was when he logged off.
The Demonized Vengeful Spirits that he had killed earlier have already respawned.
Before he could react, he realized that he received 999+ messages while he was offline.
There were even people who kept sending him messages every second.
"Bunao Biaoyin, can you sell me the Vengeful Spirit Set? I'll pay $200,000!"
"Give me a price for the Vengeful Spirit Set. Sell it to me privately. I won't let you suffer a loss."
"Hello, I am the person in charge of the Dragon Glory Financial Group. Can you sell the Vengeful Spirit Set to us? The price is negotiable."
"Nice to meet you, Bunao Biaoyin. Don't auction the Vengeful Spirit Set, I'll buy it for $300,000!"
"Hello, are you there? If you are, please reply! I have something urgent to talk to you about."
…
Mo Fan casually browsed through them.
Almost all of them were looking for him to buy the Vengeful Spirit Set.
Hearing the constant beeping sounds, Mo Fan immediately closed his chat.
He opened the official website's trading section and went up to take a look at the Vengeful Spirit Set he was auctioning.
At this moment, the bid price had reached a mind-boggling price of $182,500!
Remaining auction time: 00:21:43
The price changed every minute.
Hundreds of dollars would be raised by the second, and occasionally one or two thousand dollars would be added to the bid price.
This was just an early-stage green equipment set.
Mo Fan did not expect it to attract so many rich people.
After thinking for a while, Mo Fan understood that this was the first set that had appeared in the entire server.
Naturally, anyone would want to have it.
After all, being one step ahead so early in the game meant being potentially one step ahead for the rest of the game.
His eyes lit up when he saw the 13 sets of Vengeful Spirit equipment in his inventory.
If he sold all these sets, wouldn't he become a millionaire then?
It would be possible for him to buy a house and a car, right?
At that time, he could hire as many nannies as he wanted, let alone just one!
After fantasizing for a while, Mo Fan could not help but shiver as his face flushed red.
"Let's wait for the first set of equipment to be auctioned off first! Let's see how much it can be sold for in total."
Mo Fan stared at the auction interface and looked at the increasing numbers.
He felt giddy and excited.
The money at stake here was not just a few hundred dollars, but more than a hundred thousand!
It was real fiat money, while the equipment he was selling was just data in the game.
It felt too surreal!
As the remaining time of the auction decreased, the price of the Vengeful Spirit Set skyrocketed even more.
Soon, it reached $200,000!
20 minutes was neither fast nor slow when it came to an auction.
Just like that, Mo Fan looked at the constantly increasing price and found it pleasing to the eye.
Soon, there was only a minute left.
270,000!
300,000!
350,000!
The changes to the price became even faster!
Mo Fan shouted crazily as he watched the numbers.
"Higher!"
"To the moon!"
"Rise!"
"Continue!"
"Don't stop!"
"Wow!"
"It's increasing, it's increasing!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the final number, Mo Fan laughed out loud.
[Hello, Esteemed Player Bunao Biaoyin. The 'Vengeful Spirit Set' has been auctioned successfully. After deducting the 1% transaction fee, your earnings are $582,120.]
[Dear Mr. Mo Fan, your savings account (XXXX3422) has just received $582,120. Your current balance remaining is $583,049.35.]
Two messages arrived on time.
Seeing that there was a balance of over $580,000 in his account, Mo Fan could not believe his eyes.
"This is too absurd!"
"I earned $580,000 just like that?"
"I really don't understand. What are these rich people thinking?"
With so much money, wasn't it better to buy some practical necessities instead?
Couldn't they pay for something more exciting?
For example, pay for certain special services?
He really could not understand why they had to spend so much money to buy a bunch of game data. But Mo Fan quickly understood.
What did it have to do with him if other people spent their money?
He just had to be happy that he earned this much money.
As soon as Mo Fan's Vengeful Spirit Set was sold, the official forum exploded!
"Breaking news! The final transaction price of the first equipment set in the game is $588,000."
"Shocking news! Competition among tycoons, Bunao Biaoyin became the biggest winner!"
"Super shocking news! A certain financial group is offering one million dollars to purchase the Vengeful Spirit Set."
"Damn, who is this Bunao Biaoyin?"
"I don't know. Have any of you seen him before?'
"This is crazy! It's only been a day since the server opened, but a Level 10 equipment set was already sold for such an astounding price!"
"I didn't expect this game to have so many rich players."
"That's right! I remember in the last virtual online game, Grieving Spirit, the highest price for a Level 10 equipment set was only $10,000."
"You're right! After comparing the two, it is truly shocking!"
No matter how heated the discussion on the game forums was, Mo Fan had no time to care about them.
Next, he placed a Vengeful Spirit Set up for another auction.
The starting price was still $3,000. The auction time was set to 10 minutes.
Mo Fan did not plan to sell all these pieces of equipment together.
He planned to maximize his profits by selling them set by set.
"I've been exploited for a long time. It's your turn now!"
Mo Fan watched as the Vengeful Spirit Set that he had just auctioned jumped to more than $100,000 in an instant. His lips curled up slightly.
Then, he closed the official website.
Only then did Mo Fan had the time to check on his own changes.
He put on the Vengeful Spirit Set and the Chrysanthemum Ring before checking his stats.
[Character ID Tag: Bunao Biaoyin]
[Character Name: Pioneer-Sturdy-Agile Scarecrow]
[Star Level: 3]
[Pioneer: Movement Speed +20%]
[Sturdy Trait: …]
[Agile Trait: …]
[Level: 10 (Progress: 32,134/1,500,000)]
[Strength: 632]
[Constitution: 620]
[Dexterity: 734]
[Attack Power: Physical Attack: 2602-3553]
[Health: 96,590]
[Defense: Physical Defense 1243-1515]
After reaching Level 10, the biggest changes were his own stats.
Not counting the stat bonus from the skin, the three attributes increased from more than 100 to more than 600, which meant it had grown by five times.
His attack was now more than 3,000, and his HP had skyrocketed to 100,000.
Mo Fan felt that the game he was playing had gone from the normal version to the broken version.
"Not bad, not bad. This is what a wild monster should be like."
"But why is my name so long?"
"F*ck, it's almost five meters long now!"
At this moment, the recently logged-in Mo Fan was currently in his true form.
Therefore, what was displayed above his head was his character name: 'Pioneer-Sturdy-Agile Scarecrow'.
The title "Pioneer" increased his movement speed by 20%.
Mo Fan ran a few steps and felt pretty good with his speed.
As for his bloodline talents, they weren't upgraded along with his stats.
Thus, there were no changes to them at all.
The Spiritual Energy required to level up had also returned to normal.
He had already accumulated 452 Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragments.
He still hadn't used them up.
In the basic stats panel, an additional tab appeared.
< Spiritual Power System >
[Spiritual Power Level: 1]
[Spiritual Power Upgrade Requirement: 100 Points]
[Spiritual Attack: 1]
[Spiritual Defense: 1]
[Spiritual Power Cultivation Speed: 1 point per minute (doubled when meditating)]
[Current Spiritual Power: 732 Points]
Mo Fan looked at the introduction of the Spiritual Power System.
Spiritual Power was a prerequisite for learning skills.
Without spiritual power, one could not learn skills.
Learning skills and upgrading skills required spiritual power.
There were some high-level skills that had level requirements for spiritual power.
If the spiritual power's level was not high enough, one could not learn those skills.
As for spiritual attack and spiritual defense, not only was it used to directly calculate attack and defense, but it could also increase one's attack and defense by a certain percentage.
For example, 1 point of spiritual attack could increase attack power by 1 and damage dealt by 1%.
Similarly, 1 point of spiritual defense could increase defense by 1 and damage reduction by 1%.
"Oh wow, this is too f*cking awesome!"
"What's going to happen after I upgrade this?"
Seeing this powerful Spiritual Power System, Mo Fan immediately clicked on upgrade.
After raising his spiritual power to Level 2, his spiritual attack and spiritual defense also increased to 2. Likewise, the spiritual power required for the next level had also increased to 1000.
Mo Fan gave it a try.
After meditating on the spot, his cultivation speed became 2 points per minute.
Besides meditating, he did not know how to obtain spiritual power.
After reading everything about the Spiritual Power System, Mo Fan fused the Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline.
[Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragment: 452/10 (Can Be Fused)]
Following the stirring of a mysterious power in his body, Mo Fan felt his mind go blank.
It was as if his soul had left his body.
It was completely different from when he fused with other wild monsters.
As his body calmed down, pieces of rotten flesh appeared on Mo Fan's body.
The peculiar equilibrium of his body that was a combination of both scarecrow and human was instantly destroyed.
Only the chrysanthemum flower on his back was considered normal considering his current appearance.
At this moment, Mo Fan looked even more terrifying, like a true monster.
Looking at his own condition, Mo Fan felt disgusted.
He immediately changed into human skin and felt better.
"F*ck, I'm still more handsome like this."
"What should I do in the future? If I continue to fuse more bloodlines, won't I become the amalgamation of multiple species?"
Mo Fan shuddered at the thought.
He shook his head and checked his new bloodline talent.
[Talent "Inferior Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline": When you receive damage, there is a 1% chance of dodging physical attacks. When you are in a demonized area, the dodge chance will be doubled.]
"Oh my God, this talent is incredibly powerful!"
"I have to quickly upgrade it!"
Mo Fan used the remaining Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragments and raised the 'Inferior Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline' to 'Medium Demonized Vengeful Spirit Bloodline'.
The dodging chance also increased from 1% to 8%.
The upgrade requirement became 1000 fragments.
At this moment, Mo Fan received an email notification and a message from his bank.
The ten minutes time limit was over and his second set of equipment was sold for a record price of 1.2 million dollars!
It was even more expensive than the first set!
It directly doubled!
"F*ck, what's going on?"
Mo Fan quickly checked the official website forum.
He quickly understood what was going on.
As the attributes of the first set of equipment were published on the official website, more and more people came to know about it.
It made many people envious.
Then, even the richer people set their sights on his set of equipment.
When Mo Fan released the second set of equipment for auction, the competition among the buyers became tight. But in the end, it was bought by a tycoon for 1.2 million dollars.
Mo Fan also found a very serious problem on the official website.
He was now famous!
The name, Bunao Biaoyin, had become world-renowned!
However, when he pretended to be a human player, he made sure to hide his name.
He only told his name to the three Qingyi brothers.
Apart from them, no one else knew about it.
With his current situation, there were both good and bad aspects to being famous in the game.
Sadly, Mo Fan did not know if his fame would bring trouble to him in the future.
Mo Fan shook his head and stopped thinking about these issues.
Next, he auctioned off another Vengeful Spirit Set in the trading section of the official website.
Then, he looked at the surrounding Demonized Vengeful Spirits and summoned his pet Little Chrysanthemum.
He found a random Demonized Vengeful Spirit and attacked it.
-3298
-9659 (Bleeding)
[Demonized Vengeful Spirit (Level 15) has been killed. Obtained 24,521 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Vengeful Spirit Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Player Reputation Point.]
[System Notification: Your pet "Cute Chrysanthemum Spirit" has received 24,521 Spiritual Energy Points!]
Before the second bleeding damage could be dealt, the Demonized Vengeful Spirit was already dead.
After leveling up, the amount of Spiritual Energy he gained by killing a monster of a higher level was now considerably lower than before.
But looking at his high damage, Mo Fan laughed hysterically.
"Hahaha, who would dare to take a hit from me now?"
