Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 13 The Correct Way to Open the Ninth District's Beginner Village
"Damn system, you're cutting off my source of income!"

Lin Hanchuan shivered with cold.

Now is the time when medicines are most valuable, with significant price premiums.

A basic healing potion normally costs 10 copper coins per bottle, and even less if purchased in bulk.

But now in the newbie village, you can find a bottle for seventeen or eighteen copper coins everywhere, and in the potion shop, it's even 20 copper coins a bottle.

Of course, if the potion shop that controls all the potions in the entire beginner village is run by a player instead of an NPC, they can sell basic healing potions for 50 copper coins a bottle.

Besides, because potions are one of the essential potions for players.

Another very important reason is that potions are one of the items with the lowest drop rate in the early game.

The potion dropped when I defeated the Lord-level Dark Claw Demon.

Now that the system is being configured this way...

This doesn't mean significantly increasing the drop rate of potions.

It's practically like getting free potions just for completing quests or killing monsters.

Let’s go!

Thus.

In Beginner Village #56, potion prices are bound to plummet!
Of course, I can sell all the potions I've accumulated. The problem is, the selling price will be halved again and again.

Huge loss!!

Several thousand gold coins, just like that, gone.

A few thousand gold coins are more than enough for me to hoard a large permanent plot of land in the city.

"call!!"

"call!!"

Lin Hanchuan took two deep breaths and looked down at the crowd.

After a brief silence, they erupted in thunderous cheers.

"E-rank missions guarantee potions, and level 3 monsters always drop potions! Holy crap! Hahaha, this is so awesome!"

"Potions in the early stages of the beginner village are just too expensive. The starting funds the system gives us are only enough to buy two basic ones. The God of War must know a way to generally increase the drop rate for us beginners in the early stages, which is why he robbed the potion shop. Thank you, God of War!"

"Thank you, Aragami!! You've brought down the price of potions for us!"

"Soon, our No. 56 starting village will become the village with the lowest potion prices among all the starting villages in the Ninth District!"

Long live the Aragami!

Players without powerful backing have long suffered from the bitter pill.

Especially in the early stages, because there are no potions, many players can only develop stealthily, taking on simple tasks in the city to level up, or teaming up to grind monsters in the wild.

Their leveling speed is nowhere near that of those wealthy players.

If you fall behind in the starting village, you'll definitely be left behind when you move to the city.

This is an iron rule.

But now, in Beginner Village No. 56.

Arakawa Hakuyo stepped forward.

They broke this ironclad rule with their own wisdom.

This allows ordinary players to enjoy the freedom to use potions.

With things having come to this point, Lin Hanchuan had no choice.

We need to sell all the potions we have before the price of potions completely drops.

Minimize the losses.

"Let's find someone with the financial means to discuss the selling price of all the potions in this apothecary behind me!" Under everyone's gaze, Lin Hanchuan spoke loudly, then added another point.

"I don't want real-world currency, I only want the in-game currency that's coming!"

[Arrival] Since the opening of the first server, the official has never opened a gold coin exchange system. Merchants who enter the ninth server in the early stages of the new village and want to quickly collect a large number of gold coins can only buy the currency from other players.

Lin Hanchuan also wanted gold coins.

Once you enter the city, what's the cheapest thing?

That naturally refers to the land within the city!
However, the amount of land is limited, and only the first batch of players to enter the city can buy the cheapest land from the city hall.

The land is permanent and tax-free.

In the future, whether it's building residences or establishing guilds, land will be needed.

If Lin Hanchuan wants to establish his own guild, he will inevitably have to invest in the early stages, at least by buying a piece of land large enough to establish a guild headquarters.

If you have extra land, you can hoard it and sell it to casual players at a high price later.

Lin Hanchuan's rule that he only wanted gold coins silenced many eager merchants. Buying all the potions in the beginner village's potion shop really required a lot of money!
“I can buy it at a premium as long as you’re willing to accept real currency!” one of the white players shouted at Lin Hanchuan, still unwilling to give up.

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and emphasized again, "I only want gold coins!"

Everyone fell silent.

Among these people, there are those who lack financial resources.

If Lin Hanchuan had wanted to sell it before the system announced it to the entire village, a huge crowd would probably have rushed out to buy it.

But now that the system announcement is over, the potions in starting village #56 are destined to be worthless in the future. Of course, you can transport the potions to other starting villages to sell and make a profit, but that comes with a lot of risks.

After waiting a while, someone stepped out from the crowd. It was a middle-aged man dressed in linen clothes. He looked at Lin Hanchuan and said...

"My name is Faceless Passerby, from the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce in District 2. May I check the quantity and quality of the potions in the pharmacy first?"

The voice of the faceless passerby was uttered.

A smile appeared in Lin Hanchuan's eyes. This was a big client. He nodded and said, "Okay! Follow me!"

After watching the faceless passerby and Lin Hanchuan enter the pharmacy.

There were even more players gathered outside.

"Tianhai Chamber of Commerce? One of the four major chambers of commerce in District Two."

"I heard they have a big conglomerate behind them. Three of the top ten guilds on the second server's power ranking are supported by them. I never expected to find someone in our newbie village!"

"Arakawa White Owl, this must be a high-level player's alt account from some server. Are you guys familiar with this ID?"

"I don't know him! I've never heard of a name like his in District Six."

"I do not have either!"

"If we wait a little longer, our village's medicines will be sold for dirt cheap. Why are there still chambers of commerce willing to buy them in large quantities?"

"Isn't it obvious? The Tianhai Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to express their intention to buy, which clearly means they want to befriend that Arakawa White Owl!"

"It has to be said that the God of War has made a huge contribution to us players in the No. 56 newbie village!"

……

The whispering players watched as Arakawa White Owl led the Faceless Passerby around the potion shop for a while before entering through the back door.

However, at this moment, no one dared to take advantage of the opportunity to rush in and grab a batch of medicines displayed in the glass case.

On the one hand, with so many people watching, and everyone going to be in Wangyue City in the future, you'll run into each other all the time. If you go in and rob now, you can become a "celebrity" in Wangyue City in the next second.

On the other hand, the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce has clearly expressed its interest in this batch of potions. If you steal it, you're stealing their goods, and offending the Chamber of Commerce is far more serious than offending a guild! Besides, potions are practically worthless now, so there's really no need to embarrass yourself.

Amid the noisy crowd, Night Legend led his teammates to the front to peer into the apothecary.

"see it?"

"The Legend of the Night" asked in a low voice.

The teammates answered in hushed tones.

"no!"

"I didn't see it either, it's completely empty!"

"Brother Night, there's no one here!"

After receiving a definite answer from his teammates, Night Legend nodded excitedly and called to them, "Then come with me!"

Out of the crowd.

Looking at the Night Legend teammate leading the way, a tank holding a shield couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Night, why do you want us to check if anyone's doing this in the pharmacy?"

"I know why Arakawa White Owl was able to level up so quickly!" Black Night Legend turned around and smiled confidently.

He was certain.

Killing NPCs in the beginner village of the ninth district will not only avoid system penalties and turning you into a red name, but will also grant you a massive amount of experience points.

The rewards far exceed those from completing quests and grinding monsters!
Arakawa Haku was also the first person to try something new in District 9.

And I will become the second one.

Leaving the bustling streets, we ventured into a secluded alley.

Dark Legend stood at the door of a house, looking at the white-bearded old man lying in a chair, holding a hunter's scimitar, and turned to his teammates behind him.

"I've figured it out!"

"Look at me next!"

"Let me show you the correct way to open up the newbie village in District 9!"

……

……

soon.

The second announcement, for the entire village of No. 56, was issued.

"Ding! Please note that player 'Black Night Legend' has entered red name status due to killing the white-bearded old man NPC!"

"This system is now officially issuing a warrant for the arrest of the red-named player 'Legend of the Night'. Players who kill him will receive 1 reputation point and 1 gold coin reward, in addition to the items he drops!"

Lin Hanchuan, who was explaining the potions in the storage box to the Faceless Passerby in the warehouse, paused for a moment.

"What era are we living in? People still kill NPCs?"

The faceless passerby standing to the side also smiled.

"We players are all incredibly brave!"

The contract has been signed.
