Chapter 145: List

Night has fallen, and it is currently daytime in the real world.

Luolita's post has been bumped to the very top, remaining on the front page for a full hour and a half.

This auction was described by Luolita as very dull, but the process after the auction was rather twisty and bizarre.

Luolita:... We followed the disguised Mata to the fourth floor of the hotel. On the fourth floor, there was a separate private room, about the size of a classroom, with fewer than twenty people in total. These people all looked mysterious, and no one asked how we got there. In any case, there were still a few empty seats after we sat down.

After we all sat down, an old man wearing a golden mask sat at the very front. Guess what I saw.

He took out a list, which enumerated various Spiritual Substance he could currently get his hands on. A single Red-tailed Dragonfly is worth 100 Xide!

Not only that, various Spiritual Material that players hunt in Tana City will increase in price by about ten times once they reach the Royal Capital, and these prices are still negotiable; if they are truly rare, one could even say they are priceless.

Feng Buxi: I think I've found a real path to wealth.

Zhuguli: Starting tomorrow, I'm going to grind for Petrified Frog eyes; I have vacation time again!

Yunxiao: I think I should ask if the Wealth Church can give their own people cheaper tickets and transport fees; that way, everyone can make money together.

Yaohuanghuang to Yunxiao: Good brother, let's make money together!

Sure enough, Chen Zhi closed Luolita's post and then opened Ye Laoshi's post.

What was written here was more detailed, mainly because Ye Laoshi knows how to take notes and how to focus on the key points.

There was no help for it; Chen Zhi cannot rely on physical ability. By sharing the players' vision and hearing, just like the players, he can only understand the situation in the Royal Capital through this method.

Clicking on Ye Laoshi's post, the content was indeed much more detailed.

Ye Laoshi:

Red-tailed Dragonfly: 100 Xide each

Complete Golden Toad: 300 Xide each

Mandala Root: 12 Xide per root

White Rain Gold Flower: 500 Xide per flower

Seven-colored Parrot feathers: 1000 Xide for three

Three-eyed Frog eyes: 100 Xide per pair

Orange Alpine Goat Wool: 35 Xide per jin

Black Donkey Hoof: 400 Xide per pair

Soul-bewitching Grass: 5 Xide per half-tael

Petrified Frog eyes: 80 Xide per pair

This is all I can remember. There was subsequent discussion among the attendees; everyone had things to sell, and even Evans had some materials to offload, so there are also some people who do not sell through this platform.

However, if you want to sell, you can come to this platform at any time. According to the old man in charge at the venue, every gathering will be announced in the Royal Capital Morning News. As long as you see the news that the Hasisuosi cruise ship is about to dock, the gathering will begin three days later. The location is always the Desili Hotel, and it is always on the fourth floor. As long as you see the cleaning sign hanging on the door, you can enter.

So these people also call that old man the Captain.

As for privately sold goods, there is everything. Some even sell formulas directly, but no one verifies these things. It is clear that the "Captain" in charge here will not verify these items. He is very cautious and only gives us the prices for Spiritual Material, letting us choose whether to purchase them or buy from other unverified people.

He also does not provide protection for the clients here. According to Mata, some attendees disappear here every time.

If being targeted is not a good thing, players who intend to come should be prepared.

Ye Laoshi's content is much richer than Luolita's, and it also allowed many people to see business opportunities.

Seeing that there is a market for things like Soul-bewitching Grass, people have already started to ponder how to cultivate Soul-bewitching Grass on a large scale. Besides that, how to raise rare materials has also become the center of the players' discussions.

Luolita: I was too excited at the time, only focusing on what materials and formulas were available, and I even bought a few formulas... I didn't think at all about asking where these materials could be hunted. Sorry, sorry.

Fuyue Baishuang to Luolita: So the formulas are very cheap?

Luolita to Fuyue Baishuang: Because their authenticity cannot be determined, the prices are not high. The few formulas I bought are worth about 3 Xide each. I feel that even if they aren't real, there must be some correct parts, so it's just a matter of experimenting a few more times.

Fuyue Baishuang:... Are you planning on dying a few times?

Yunxiao to Luolita: You really are a genius!

Liumu to Luolita: Share them with me later; I'll help you test them. I'm not afraid of dying, I'm only afraid of not being able to awaken.

You'eryuan to Liumu: Wake up, don't forget how much the materials cost. Are you buying expensive materials just to experiment and see if you'll die?

Luolita to You'eryuan: Damn, I forgot about that.

It seems the little players are quite ambitious. In reality, Luolita can be considered a rich woman. The Spiritual Material she sold at the beginning earned her quite a bit of money, and later, by opening a shop with You'eryuan, she also possessed quite a few assets. Although it was a joint venture where she only held a twenty percent stake, she is definitely wealthier than Chen Zhi.

It's just a few formulas; it hasn't reached the point of cutting into her own flesh, and experimenting with a few of them isn't impossible.

Anyway, the cost isn't coming out of Chen Zhi's pocket, and this money wouldn't end up in Chen Zhi's hands regardless.

On the contrary, the corpses of those little players will slowly be recycled back to Chen Zhi. This feeling is quite marvelous.

The corpses of those little players who died on the mountain before will slowly re-gather the Spiritual Substance back into Chen Zhi. Although the process is slow, it is effective.

If the players collect the corpses and bring them back to Chen Zhi, the effect would be even better, and the absorption would be faster.

Therefore, Chen Zhi will also post some quests, letting players whose pockets aren't very full do the corpse-collecting work. Of course, cremating the corpses and sending them back is also fine, so there are players who do this transport work.

It's just that it doesn't last long; many players do it once or twice and then give up. After all, once they save up their first pot of gold, it's impossible to continue doing such dirty and tiring work.

Fortunately, there aren't many players courting death recently.

Chen Zhi stretched out a hand and tapped on the ground in contemplation before saying to Saina in front of him: "Evans is doing a good job; at least he is doing well for now. You don't need to worry about his safety; at least he is fine for now, and he hasn't used the Charm I gave him."

"Then I am relieved. Thank you for your mercy," Saina said respectfully with her head lowered.

"So, does he really have enemies in the Royal Capital?" Looking at Evans, he doesn't seem like the type to have enemies; it is surprising that Saina would be so worried.
