After Wu Shaochen went offline, he checked his bank account balance and was shocked to find that it had exceeded ten million. He thought to himself, "I should buy a house tomorrow and quickly get a gaming warehouse." The player's strength grows rapidly, and he wants to stay ahead, so he needs to get a gaming warehouse early.
The next morning, Wu Shaochen woke up at 8 o'clock, finished washing up, and left. He bought some breakfast on the roadside and took a taxi to the sales office in the suburbs. Since he was just playing a game, there was no need to buy a house in the city center. Even with a fortune of ten million, he still couldn't afford a house in the downtown area of SZ.
At this time, there were only a few people in the sales office. Several salespeople were chatting. After Wu Shaochen entered, he took a glance and continued chatting. No one paid attention to him. His appearance, dressed in cheap clothes, didn't look like someone who could afford a house.
Wu Shaochen felt speechless. He deliberately coughed, and a sweet-looking saleswoman came out from inside and ran over, saying, "Sir, hello, are you here to see the house?"
"Yes, do you have ready-to-move-in houses that are well decorated?" Wu Shaochen asked.
"Yes, let me show you." The woman led Wu Shaochen to the sand table.
"Qingya, just handle it casually. You just arrived and need to learn how to judge people." When they passed by a few salespeople, one of the female sales staff whispered to the woman who was receiving Wu Shaochen.
Qingya just smiled and didn't change her attitude because of these words. Although she had just graduated, being from a rural background, she wouldn't judge people based on appearances. Even if the other party was just here to take a look, she would patiently explain.
Wu Shaochen couldn't be bothered with such people and followed the woman to the sand table, listening to her introduction.
The housing prices in the suburbs were not too high, around thirty thousand. After looking for a while, Wu Shaochen didn't find anything satisfactory, so he asked, "Do you have any detached villas?"
"Ah," Song Qingya hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, we do, but the prices are significantly higher, around fifty thousand per square meter."
"It's okay, take me to have a look." Wu Shaochen said.
"Okay." The two of them went to another sand table. In the end, Wu Shaochen found a villa, about 160 square meters, with a good location and lighting. After showing it to Wu Shaochen, Song Qingya helped him sign the contract. The full payment was 8.6 million, and they also provided some basic furniture. The procedures would take about three days. After signing the contract and paying, Wu Shaochen left, asking Song Qingya to contact him as soon as the procedures were done.
After Wu Shaochen left, Song Qingya was still in a daze. "Is buying a house so hasty? It took less than half an hour round trip, and it cost over eight million."
The other salespeople were all regretting. No one expected that a young man who looked like he couldn't afford anything would casually spend over eight million on a villa without even blinking.
After coming out, Wu Shaochen took a taxi back to his rental place, told the landlord that he would move out in a few days, and then quickly went online at home.
"Ding, the item you put up for auction has been sold to a player for a price of 720,000. After deducting a fee of 108,000, the remaining 612,000 has been transferred to your linked bank account."
Wu Shaochen was taken aback. "Why is the price higher than the first auction?" After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Wu Shaochen couldn't be bothered and thought to himself that he still made a profit anyway.
During Wu Shaochen's offline period, as the Tiger Head Greatsword was listed for auction for the second time, the previously regretful players, Ao Shi Tian Xia and Luan Shi Xiao Xiong, saw another opportunity and naturally didn't want to miss it. Coupled with Ling Shao's determination to win, the price was significantly higher than the first time. However, in the end, it was still just a golden equipment. The players didn't lose their ability to think, and in the end, Ling Shao won it back for 720,000. But buying this weapon twice cost Ling Shao over a million, making him so angry that he felt like spitting blood.
Wu Shaochen opened the level rankings and saw that although he was still in first place, players ranked 2nd to 6th were already at level 24. They were catching up quickly, and there were quite a few changes in the rankings. Yu Fei, who was originally in third place, surpassed Shen Wang and reached second place. Moreover, the God Lord and Hell Messenger, who were previously ranked 9th and 10th, had dropped out of the top ten, and two unfamiliar IDs took their places on the leaderboard.
9th place: Fen Tian
10th place: Qiu Se Yan Yu
Both of them were mages, and it was estimated that they had acquired AoE skills. Mages had the most AoE skills, and as more and more skills appeared, the leveling speed of mages gradually became apparent. Currently, five out of the top ten rankings were mages.
On the equipment rankings, all of them were now golden equipment. Wu Shaochen's Dark Gold equipment, Blood Bull Belt, was in first place, followed by the Tiger Head Greatsword and the rest were also golden equipment. Apart from his own, it seemed that others had also killed gold-level bosses.
"I should go and find Old Sun to get some information." Wu Shaochen thought to himself. The mark on his forehead had been bothering him, and he needed to resolve it as soon as possible.
After asking many NPCs, he finally found Old Sun's residence. It was a low and old house, and Old Sun lived in one of the dilapidated rooms. It was hard to imagine that a master alchemist would live in such a place.
Wu Shaochen walked to the door and knocked. After waiting for a while, the door opened, and a messy-haired and untidy old man appeared in front of him. His murky eyes stared at Wu Shaochen and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, are you Master Sun?" Wu Shaochen asked politely.
"Master Sun? That's in the past. Now I'm just Old Sun. What do you want from me?" Old Sun replied.
"Well, I heard that you're very skilled in alchemy. Do you have any powerful potions? I would like to buy some." Wu Shaochen said.
"Get lost! I'm not a medicine seller." Then Wu Shaochen was immediately kicked out.
"This..." Wu Shaochen stood in front of the door, feeling confused.
"What's going on? I haven't even said anything yet. This old man is so difficult to deal with." Wu Shaochen scratched his head. If he couldn't complete this task, the punishment for failure would be terrifying.
"Oh." Wu Shaochen sighed, "What a weird task. It's not even as difficult as killing a Dark Gold boss."
Just as Wu Shaochen was about to leave, he saw a teenager of about eighteen or nineteen years old walking towards him with a jug of wine in his hand. Wu Shaochen didn't pay much attention at first, but then he saw the teenager walk straight to Sun Lao's door and knock on it, saying, "Master, I brought you some wine." Then he saw the old man happily invite the teenager in.
Seeing this scene, Wu Shaochen rubbed his chin and said, "Does this old man like to drink? Can't I just get him drunk and steal the Netherworld Spirit Fruit?"
"It doesn't seem possible. Aside from not knowing where he keeps the Netherworld Spirit Fruit, even if you really steal it, I don't think you'll be able to escape once he wakes up."
"It seems like I have to start with this teenager. He seems quite familiar with the old man, like a disciple. It should be easier than doing it myself, and most importantly, the teenager is a player." With this in mind, Wu Shaochen patiently waited outside.
He waited for more than an hour before the teenager finally came out of Sun Lao's house and saw Wu Shaochen standing by.
"Are you also here to see my master?" the teenager asked.
"Yes, but it seems like this old man doesn't like me," Wu Shaochen said.
"Master does have a peculiar temper, but he's a good person. Shall I introduce you to him?" the teenager offered.
"No need, it's not a big deal. Can we find a place to talk?" Wu Shaochen asked.
