Chapter 286: Yanhuang's First Fortune

Bullhide Wristguard, Leather Armor (Purple)

Defense: 240

Additional: Agility +80

Additional: Attack Speed Increased 10%

Additional: Bull's Strength

Level: 50

Description: …

Bull's Strength: After using a skill, the next attack bursts with an additional 20% strength bonus.

Cooldown: 60 seconds

The second purple item, a pretty good wristguard, unfortunately it's leather armor; Su Sheng can't use the additional attributes, which are essential for agility-based professions.

Furthermore, the Bull's Strength skill is useless for Su Sheng; after all, Su Sheng, premised on balancing offense and defense, takes the defensive route.

Attack power automatically syncs with defense, so the burst strength is wasted.

Su Sheng looked at his wristguard; it's still the previous 30-level purple wristguard. Although the stats are still usable, they're a bit behind.

The third purple item, a pretty good 50-level one-handed sword.

Of course, it naturally can't compare to the Divine Artifact Su Sheng holds.

There are also two blue equipment items, and a Heavenly Craft Stone.

Su Sheng is a bit depressed, lacking an arm shield.

Although the dwarves of Wutong Town can help forge, a skilled woman can't cook without rice.

Without materials, forging is impossible.

As for casually gathering materials, the forged items would be trash; it's not as good as directly taking that blue item on the auction house.

Su Sheng feels he must somehow find a purple item.

Su Sheng looked at the loot before him; he took the bull's mount reins for himself.

As for the rest…

"This mount reins count as my loot; I'll throw the Heavenly Craft Stone into the guild warehouse, counting it as guild income."

"For the remaining equipment, I'll take one more of these wristguards for myself, then I'll compensate each of you with 100 guild contributions."

"As for the rest, you guys can divide them as you see fit; if you can't use them, you can also dump them into the guild for contributions."

Su Sheng looked at the five-person team: "How about it, any opinions?"

"None!"

"We have no opinions!"

Opinions?

How could they have opinions? Under normal circumstances, according to Yanhuang's rules, after reporting the boss and pulling people to push it down, they can first pick one piece of equipment.

The rest are all confiscated into the guild warehouse; then other members are rewarded guild points according to performance, and needed equipment can be exchanged in the guild warehouse using contributions.

Naturally, equipment you personally obtained doesn't need to be turned in; if you feel you can't use it, you can also dump it into the guild warehouse to exchange for contribution points.

That five-person team inherently lacks the ability to take down this level 50 bull boss; don't think Su Sheng taking it on alone was easy.

But you didn't see the fate of the peak hundred-person team earlier.

To take down this boss, they can only pull people from the guild to help.

According to Yanhuang Guild's rules, they can at most prioritize choosing one piece of equipment.

Now they not only received contribution rewards; additionally, the remaining equipment is distributed among themselves.

What else could they be dissatisfied with?

"Alright."

Su Sheng immediately handed over the remaining 50-level purple longsword and those blue items to the team's captain; at the same time, via the guild interface, he allocated contribution points to them.

"Time's about up; you guys should rest early, I'll go get busy." Su Sheng greeted them, then pinched a Return City Scroll.

Returning to Zhuque City, Su Sheng ran into Lin Huan in the warehouse area.

"Huan Jie, how's the situation?"

Su Sheng greeted with a smile.

Normally, Huan Jie should be leading Yanhuang members to level up at this time.

But Su Sheng naturally understands what Huan Jie is doing in the city.

"Not bad; so far we've sold over a hundred mounts at 1,000 Gold Coins each, bringing in 100,000 Gold Coins." Lin Huan replied with a smile, showing he's in a good mood.

Having some extra income puts anyone in a good mood.

As we enter the Main City era, players' demand for Gold Coins increases; now the price of a Gold Coin is about 90r, and if someone is eager to buy, they might even offer 100r per Gold Coin at a sky-high price.

Those 100,000 Gold Coins amount to roughly 9,000,000!!

It's undeniable that this is almost a nationwide game; seizing an information gap and getting ahead by a few steps can fill one's pockets.

However, the auction house still deducts a five percent handling fee, so the actual amount isn't that high.

"How many reins do we have now?" Su Sheng asked.

"After this period of suppressing the Roving Horse Bandits, we have about 1,200+ mount reins."

"I plan to sell them all within ten days." Lin Huan said.

Over a thousand mount reins looks quite a lot.

But don't forget this game's player base!

For such a huge player base, over a thousand mounts can't even make a splash.

The auction house isn't just a single Zhuque City; it serves the whole Domestic Server. One thousand gold coins is a bit steep, but don't underestimate how many rich people there are.

But it's certainly not good to release them all at once; we need to control the amount to stabilize the price.

"While gold prices are high now, we could consider selling some for club funds; in the short term, Yanhuang shouldn't need that many gold coins."

"The next major gold consumption will likely come after the guild reaches level three, when we build our stronghold."

Su Sheng said while analyzing, but the guild is only just level two and wants to reach level three; for now, that's still far off.

This counts as Yanhuang's first pot of gold.

But Su Sheng is also quite satisfied, after all, other guilds at this stage are still scrambling to get the alliance order.

"Right, Huan Jie, this is for you."

Su Sheng traded the Barbarian Ox Wristguard to Huan Jie.

"Nice item."

Huan Jie's eyes lit up, but she took it without ceremony.

Although she can't equip it yet, Lin Huan is level 43.

Even with the Heavenly Craft Stone, she needs to be level 45 to use it.

But Lin Huan is almost level 44.

"Wrap up loose ends, then I'll go offline first."

"Let's discuss the details of the Cauldron Seizure battle later." After finishing the trade, Su Sheng prepared to go offline.

Today's gaming time is about up.

…

…

At the dining table.

Su Ba, Su Ma, Su Sheng, the other sisters of Lin Huan the Huakai, Chen Guan, and seven of the Ten Court Yanluo—among them Zhang Qinghai, a PE teacher who still has to teach students during the day and lives in the school's teacher apartments, not at the club; everyone else has moved here.

Basically, the core leadership of Yanhuang Club is all here.

"Senior Sheng, feels like we should hire a dedicated cook for the club, otherwise Auntie alone can't cook for this many people." Dong Jiaojiao and Lin Huan helped Su Ma bring over the breakfast.

"Hmm, someone's already been picked, but I don't know if they'll agree." Su Sheng nodded; the Yanhuang Club's rear area was planned for thousands of people, so later, with more members, we'll definitely need a dedicated cook.

As Yanhuang Club continues to grow, Su Sheng still has an idea, but for now... it's not needed.

"Old Wu?" Chen Guan roughly guessed who Su Sheng was referring to.

"Mm." Su Sheng gave a slight nod.

The other members of the Ten Court Yanluo all fell silent for a moment...
