Conquer the game world

Chapter 7 Mystic-level Weapons
Manager Sun is a manager on the first floor of the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Although he is just a small manager, it is enough for him to show off in this small area. Although there are many people coming and going today, Manager Sun is still happy to relax in his chair.

At that moment, Steward Sun was enjoying a sweet dream when Ye Feng came in front of him and took the initiative to disengage from stealth mode.

Fortunately, although the first floor was lively, no one paid attention to this area, and no one noticed Ye Feng's sudden appearance. Otherwise, with such a sudden ability, he might have been mistaken for some kind of master descended to earth.

"Hey, help me see how much this thing costs. Do you guys buy it?" Ye Feng didn't hold back at all and directly shook the sleeping fat man awake.

Back in our day, everyone was all smiles at me, the customer was king, okay? This fatso dared to sleep here! Damn, how come this kind of employee isn't fired? Of course, Ye Feng had a hunch that this guy was just the manager on the first floor, but still, he was a customer, wasn't he? More importantly, Ye Feng didn't want to wait in line.

"Damn it, who disturbed my sweet dream?" Manager Sun was in a very bad mood after his peaceful slumber was suddenly interrupted.

The first thing Steward Sun saw when he opened his eyes was Ye Feng, who looked like a beggar...

Where are those two idiots at the door? Let this kid in! And they dare to disturb my sweet dream? Do they want to live anymore? Wait a minute, what's that kid holding in his hand...?

"Hehe, sir, what's the matter? I was a little excited just now, please don't mind." After seeing clearly what Ye Feng was holding and confirming that it was indeed a Xuan-level weapon, Manager Sun's anger turned into a lewd grin with a face full of fat.

Although Xuan-grade weapons are not particularly precious, they can only be crafted by a weapon refiner. Weapon refiners are already scarce in this world, let alone in a small town like this, so Xuan-grade weapons are naturally very rare.

"Oh, I want to sell it. How much do you think it's worth?" Ye Feng didn't pay attention to the fat man's reaction. He was only thinking about getting some money to spend. He had just looked at the items for sale and found that he needed quite a few of them.

Although Manager Sun is the manager here, he is also an appraiser. He can accurately judge the value of things, otherwise he would not have reached the position of manager.

"It really is a Xuan-grade weapon. It's a pity that this is clearly a dagger, yet it's engraved with attributes that increase magic power. What a waste. I wonder which idiot weapon refiner did this." After carefully examining the weapon, Manager Sun wondered where such a stupid weapon refiner came from to forge a weapon for a mage using a dagger.

It's common knowledge that weapons with added mana attributes are suitable for mages, and why do mages usually use wands? It's simple: wands can unleash more powerful effects, and the smoother mana transfer allows mages to cast spells more efficiently. Using a dagger as a mage's weapon, while it does offer some improvement, is very, very limited.

"What is a Xuan-level weapon?" Ye Feng was completely baffled when he heard the steward mention Xuan-level weapons. His own was just a green-level weapon, obtained from monster drops. It seemed that the way weapons were categorized in this world was similar to that in fantasy novels, Ye Feng muttered to himself.

Although Ye Feng muttered very softly, it still didn't escape the steward's keen ears. This kid didn't even know what a Xuan-level weapon was, so it seemed that this thing probably wasn't his. He probably killed and robbed it somewhere. No wonder, he looked like a beggar.

Of course, the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce had no reason to refuse to do business. The principle of doing business is to not ask about the origin of goods. However, after having a suspicion in his heart, the manager's attitude towards Ye Feng was not so good, and the smile made up of a lot of fat on his face disappeared instantly.

"Although this weapon is a Xuan-grade weapon, it's a pity that the workmanship is too poor. I'll only offer 500 purple gold coins to take it, not a penny more." Normally, the manager would naturally accept a Xuan-grade weapon no matter how much money it cost, but this weapon is indeed not very valuable. Wealthy people are willing to buy better staffs, and not many people are willing to buy this one.

"Ah, only this much? 600 won't do." This price frustrated Ye Feng. It wasn't that Ye Feng wanted to sell it for a high price, but he was indeed penniless. In addition, he had just taken a fancy to a pill-refining furnace, the most ordinary and smallest one. He had some materials that he could use to practice, but the price was 550 purple gold coins. With other expenses, 500 purple gold coins was really not enough.

"Hmph, I already said, no bargaining. This is the price. If you don't want it, take it yourself."

Seeing the manager's attitude, Ye Feng naturally understood that bargaining was unlikely. He was thinking about whether to sell it first and figure out how to make the alchemy furnace later. There was no other way; he was short of money, and the poor were bullied.

"Brother, can you sell me this? I'll give you 600 purple gold coins."

The one who suddenly spoke was a little boy who was a head shorter than Ye Feng. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he had a quiet appearance, his hands, which were not very white and were slightly rough, suggested that he was not a young master from a wealthy family.

"Hmph, this dagger is pretty useless, and it's only suitable for mages." Seeing that someone was willing to spend a lot of money to manage things and couldn't save face, he made sarcastic remarks from the side.

"I'm the mage brother, please sell it to me! My family is poor and can't afford an expensive staff. This 600 purple gold coins is what my whole family painstakingly scraped together to buy me something for the assessment. Brother, please sell it to me!" The little boy seemed very eager for the dagger, afraid that Ye Feng wouldn't agree. He quickly handed over the money, his eyes brimming with tears as he anxiously waited for Ye Feng's reply. "Alright, I'll sell it to you." Ye Feng didn't care about anything else. Why wouldn't he sell it for more money? He wasn't stupid. The transaction was complete, and he turned and left without hesitation, completely ignoring the excited little boy behind him.

A little while later, at the entrance of the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce, Ye Feng happily walked out with the alchemy furnace he had just bought, and before leaving, he gave the two guard dogs a meaningful look.

"Hey, did you see that? That kid came out of there with the things he bought inside."

"You saw it too? Damn, I thought I was seeing things. When did that kid go in?"

"Look at what that kid is holding, could he have stolen it secretly?" one of the watchdogs suddenly said worriedly.

The two puppies nervously went to report that Ye Feng had stolen something, and just then, Steward Sun was in a bad mood (his sleep had been disturbed, and the things had been stolen before he even received them), so he was naturally scolded severely.

Leaving the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild, Ye Feng was in high spirits, even though he had only spent 50 of the 600 purple gold coins he had earned from selling items. He was already pondering when to try his hand at alchemy.

Fifty purple gold coins are not a small amount. An average family's annual living expenses would only amount to a few dozen purple gold coins. It's just that Ye Feng buys things of high value, so he spends money like water. But now he's not buying anything. He's just tidying up his appearance, finding a small inn to stay in, and eating some simple meals, which is more than enough for him. So Ye Feng isn't worried.

First, he wanted to find a hotel to freshen up and book a room. With that thought in mind, Ye Feng arrived at the Yunlai Hotel.

Although Yunlai Hotel is not very big or luxurious, it is the largest and most upscale hotel in Starry Night City. As for why Ye Feng came to Yunlai Hotel, it was not because Ye Feng deliberately chose the best hotel to show off his wealth, but because he knew of such a hotel.

In the game "General God", the shops in every part of a city are not planned in a very complete way. So in Starry Night City, there is only one place to stay in the game: Cloud Inn. Of course, staying at the inn in the game is only to restore the protagonist's health and status.

Although Ye Feng was very familiar with the routes of the entire Starry Night City, he still couldn't find any other hotels because of this. At this moment, Ye Feng appeared at the entrance of the Yunlai Hotel.

Seeing the waiter rushing out of the hotel and running towards him, Ye Feng felt secretly pleased. The service was really damn good. It's so good to be rich.

Unexpectedly, the waiter, who rushed over, pulled a steamed bun from his pocket and handed it to Ye Feng. "Take this and hurry up. If the boss sees you, he'll send someone to beat you up."

Holy crap, I was just saying your service was good, and it turns out I came here to beg for food, you bastard! You're actually a kind person, giving me a steamed bun, I'm so damn touched.

He quickly pulled a purple-gold coin from his pocket and tossed it to the waiter, then strode inside, adding as he went, "I'm rich, top-class room, please." *If you weren't a decent guy, I'd beat you up.* Ye Feng thought to himself. *Looks like my appearance really isn't good enough.*

Money makes all the difference. The waiter was a seasoned man; despite the huge blunder, he remained calm and walked inside with a forced smile.

"Prepare a comfortable room and serve this guest the finest wine and meat!"

"Bring the food to my room and have someone prepare hot water. I need to take a shower first." It was rare for Ye Feng to be so extravagant, so he didn't stand on ceremony. Of course, he also needed to hurry to his room and tidy himself up, otherwise, it would be a real problem. What if he ran into a goddess or something? Hehe, you know what I mean.

For the next few days, Ye Feng stayed at the Yunlai Hotel. During this time, Ye Feng wasn't in a hurry to level up; of course, he had nowhere to level up anyway, as he had completely lost all the experience from the previous dungeons. He needed new dungeons.

Besides spending his days studying alchemy techniques in his room, Ye Feng often sat downstairs drinking tea and chatting with people from time to time. Of course, Ye Feng wasn't just chatting idly; he was gathering information. Based on what he had gathered and what he had found during his investigations, it turned out that some of the monster leveling spots from the original game hadn't appeared in this world. This made Ye Feng's source of experience a major problem.

Sigh, looks like I'll have to check out the dungeon. The skills are so good, and there's even a shop for buying things. How am I supposed to play without any monsters...?
