Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Hearing Nalan Hongwu’s words, Fang Qi’s face twitched. You’re really rich…
“100 crystals for one item?!” Everyone slowed their steps when they heard Nalan Hongwu’s words!
After all, they were virtual items instead of real things!
Last time, An Cheng bought runes with crystals, which was the first time that someone bought virtual items. But now, the price offered wasn’t a few crystals but 100!
For the small aristocrats, 100 crystals was still a small fortune!
Of course, anyone who knew Nalan Hongwu was sure that 100 crystals meant nothing to him, but it was still shocking that a virtual item could sell for 100 crystals!
Even though many people knew that the top players of the competition would get prizes, this incident still greatly affected their value system. Many people stopped subconsciously to watch this scene!
“Who has items that have the ‘cannot be frozen’ property?” Many players asked the question for them.
“Don’t keep it! It’s worth 100 crystals!”
At this moment, a sorcerer in Bai Lang’s group said, “Brother Bai, I have an item that has that property… It’s a unique item too…”
“Don’t sell it!” Bai Lan’s face turned dark, knowing that his cold spells would be useless against these items!
“I want a staff with Teleport!”
Fang Qi was still surprised when Nalan Hongwu strode up to him impatiently. “Kid, is your teleport charged staff for sale?!”
“I’ll pay… 200 crystals!” Nalan Hongwu stated with widened eyes.
The moment he said it, the crowd bursted into murmurs!
200 crystals?! After all, it was a magic item which could only be used on special occasions, and few people paid attention to it!
However, Nalan Hongwu offered to buy it for 200 crystals!
Fang Qi shrugged. “I’m the referee, and all my items are not for sale.”
Nalan Hongwu: “…”
“I have a magic glove with the ‘cannot be frozen’ property!” At this moment, an instructor of Lingyun Academy yelled.
“I have a set of armor; it is a unique item with the ‘cannot be frozen’ property!”
Fang Qi looked at this person who was yelling and realized that it was Dong Qingli.
Although she didn’t need money, she was eager to participate in this novel thing of selling virtual items.
“Unique item?” Nalan Hongwu strode over. “Let me see the properties!”
Dong Qingli immediately opened her game, and people swarmed behind her!
“Why are they still up there?” The matches on the big screen had ended, but no one came down.
Jiang Xiaoyue also glanced at the stairs leading to the competition room on the second floor.
“Hurry up! They are selling items up here!” Someone yelled in the staircase, “Someone offered to buy an item with the ‘cannot be frozen’ property for 100 crystals!”
“100 crystals?!” Even the players who were playing games heard it, and they immediately exited from the games, put down the virtual reality headset, and ran upstairs.
“100 crystals for one item?!” Royal Princess Ji Yu, the Second Prince, Mu Donglai, Lan Mo, and Jun Yangzi looked at each other in bafflement.
They suspected that their ears were playing tricks on them!
After all, even the spiritual artifacts produced by the Blue Flame Faction, the No. 1 Artifact-Making Faction in Dajin, couldn’t sell for this price, even if the quality was super high.
“Let’s go and have a look!” They got up from the couch before hurrying to the second floor. At this moment, Dong Qingli opened her game.

People gaped at these properties, wondering how much damage cold spells could do to a paladin with this armor.
“F*ck! He did pay 100 crystals!”
“I wish I had such a good item!”
Many people looked jealous!
“Who else has items that have the ‘cannot be frozen’ property?!” At this moment, An Cheng yelled, “I’ll pay 100 crystals for one with good properties and 50 for one with fewer properties!”
Hearing his words, people exclaimed again, “Another player is offering 100!”
“What shall we do?” In Diablo, the spells were indeed powerful. But after hearing about these items, Bai Lang and another sorcerer who focused on cold spells in the top 16 turned ashen-faced.
“When we meet him, we’ll use other spells!” Bai Lang said with a dark face. “After all, we are given a skill tree just for this competition!”
With satisfaction, Nalan Hongwu put on his new armor and looked at his paladin character happily. He felt helpless when he got defeated by the cold spells, but he regained his confidence to get the first place. He asked again, “Does anyone have an item with Teleport? I’ll pay 200 crystals for it!”
The ordinary staff with Teleport could only be used by sorcerers and sorceresses, but there was one kind of staff with limits on the usage of Teleport, and it could be used by all classes. Nalan Hongwu had seen Fang Qi use it and knew about it.
Even if such a staff had a usage limit, it would pose a great threat to sorcerers and sorceresses!
“Ahhh!” Yu Liang howled lamentingly, “I saw it in the shop, but I wasn’t able to buy it without enough gold in my account!”
After all, these things were only useful on a few occasions, and they were rare and expensive.
“If there is a second staff, I’ll take it!” Elder Fu said, “I’ll also pay 200 crystals for it! And 100 for an item with the ‘cannot be frozen’ property!”
“I will also buy an item with the property of ‘cannot be frozen’!” An Huwei chimed in.
“200 crystals for a staff with Teleport! 100 crystals for an item with the ‘cannot be frozen’ property!” Song Qingfeng couldn’t keep calm. Although he wasn’t as rich as Nalan Hongwu and An Huwei, his Song Family was a large force. Besides, his family had paid more attention to him and was willing to fund his journey.
Everyone was stunned!
These were deals totaling more than 1,000 crystals!
It wasn’t unusual to buy spiritual artifacts for 1,000 crystals, but they had never seen or imagined that someone would pay such a high price for virtual items!
Finally, all of them bought items with the ‘cannot be frozen’ property, but only Nalan Hongwu bought a staff with Teleport.
Since there was still time before the next round of competitions, players got busy. Since the offers for the items still stood, they all tried to find the hot items.
Therefore, this game attracted a large group of new players.
“It was unexpected…” while sipping Coke, Nalan Mingxue walked downstairs and said feelingly.
“It’s incredible!” Lan Yan clicked her tongue.
“I want to play, get items, and earn money…” Jiang Xiaoyue said with a bitter expression.
