Chapter 51

Shi Feng brought up the search interface and directly input 'sturdy stone.'

Instantly, rows of data appeared on the semi-transparent screen.

A quick glance showed that there were over a hundred sets, with many sellers. Seeing someone selling a set for one gold, Shi Feng thought the player was crazy from poverty and immediately adjusted the display to show the lowest prices first.

After the adjustment, a set of sturdy stones still cost 26 copper, which, even after deducting the handling fee, would still yield 25 copper. The price was quite high.

However, Shi Feng still decided to buy them, as long as the price was below 30 copper, he could accept it.

Instantly, the number of sturdy stones in the auction house was reduced by more than half, with the remaining sets all priced above 30 copper. No one would be foolish enough to buy them.

After looking at the sturdy stones, Shi Feng casually glanced at the miscellaneous items.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. It was a set of cards, and there were a large number of them. These card sets could drop from any monster, but the drop rate was extremely low, less than one in ten thousand. Monsters below level 10 would drop twelve sets of cards, which were divided into Bronze and Black Iron levels.

The Warrior set included Steel, Crusader, and Madness.

The Weapon set included Chaos, Vengeance, and Hurricane.

The Healing set included Holy, Nature, and Nobility.

The Spell set included Element, Fool, and Demon.

These twelve sets of cards represented twelve different professions, with each set containing nine cards, each with a number on the back. Collecting a full set could be exchanged for a corresponding set of equipment.

At the time, many people did not know what these cards were for, and the cards themselves had no descriptions. They were either casually kept in bags or discarded in the auction house. It wasn't until the 50-person level 10 normal dungeon near the city was cleared that it was discovered that there were NPCs in the dungeon who could exchange card sets for Bronze and Black Iron level equipment.

The attributes of these sets were simply top-notch. A set of Bronze equipment was comparable to a full set of Black Iron equipment, and a set of Black Iron equipment was comparable to a full set of Mithril equipment. Instantly, these previously ignored card sets became highly sought after, with each card selling for exorbitant prices. Even so, many guilds went crazy, constantly acquiring them.

However, the hundreds of card sets in front of him were unwanted, with each card priced at no more than 5 copper, and the highest at 7 copper.

Without hesitation, Shi Feng bought them all. The money wasn't much to him, and besides, money left idle wouldn't appreciate. The key was to make money with money.

After collecting the sturdy stones and card sets, Shi Feng had less than 14 silver coins left.

Next, Shi Feng searched for skill books. In the Divine Realm, a player's strength was determined not only by their equipment but also by the number of skills they had. The more skills, the more versatile the combat style. For a skilled swordsman, they could generally handle over twenty skills, and top-tier experts could handle over forty. As for the top-tier experts, it was even more impressive.

He was, after all, a top-tier expert, but he currently had fewer than ten skills, which was pitiful...

However, there were few skill books for sale, as most were either used by the players themselves or traded with others.

Shi Feng flipped through more than ten pages, buying any skill books that could be used by a swordsman. When he reached the last page, he was stunned.

"Is this a mistake? Is Sword Return to Heaven actually for sale?" Shi Feng was overjoyed.

Sword Return to Heaven was the signature skill of swordsmen and a must-have for dealing with spellcasters. The drop rate was extremely low. Even in his previous life, Shi Feng had only obtained it after reaching level 40. He never thought he would see it now.

Although the price was a bit high, 6 silver was not unacceptable.

Shi Feng directly bid 7 silver, not wanting to waste time.

Soon, he bought it for 7 silver.

With the current purchasing power, 7 silver could buy five to six basic skill books, but Shi Feng didn't even blink.

While Shi Feng was happy to have bought three ordinary skill books—Eagle Eye, Wind Step, and Ground Slash—and one rare skill book, Sword Return to Heaven, the auction house was already in a frenzy.

The logistics personnel of the guilds were all red-faced and furious.

"Damn, why can't I buy this equipment for 9 silver? Which guild is so rich to bid 10 silver?"

"These bastards, why didn't you look at my bid? Someone has already bid 10 silver and 65 copper. These people are crazy. I only brought 10 silver. What should I do if I can't complete the task?"

"How despicable! The equipment seller doesn't even show their name. How can we compete with just a bit of equipment?"

These were the logistics personnel of minor guilds, who were almost driven mad by the high bids from major guilds. The most despicable was the player who crafted the equipment, who only put out a few pieces each time. The competition was already intense, and now the Guard Armor had even better attributes and fewer quantities. The money they brought was not enough, making it even harder for them to compete.

"Unbelievable, so many rich people, and they're all bidding 11 silver," Shi Feng was delighted, watching the price of the seven sets of Guard Armor continuously rise. The money he had spent was quickly returned, and even more.

Suddenly, Shi Feng thought of Sword Return to Heaven. Such a rare skill for swordsmen was impossible for ordinary players to obtain, and guilds would not sell it if they obtained it. It must be that a guild was raising funds to buy the Guard Armor, so they sold this skill book. But now, he was the one who benefited.

In no time, the price of the seven sets of Guard Armor rose to over 11 silver, which even surprised Shi Feng. With so many powerful guilds, it was unlikely they would spend so much on a top-tier Bronze equipment.

However, Shi Feng didn't know that as soon as he put up the better Guard Armor, the logistics personnel of the major guilds informed their guild leaders. These leaders had already been envious of the MTs with Guard Armor who could easily tank special elites, allowing others to kill them and obtain various skill books and Bronze or Black Iron equipment.

However, they had no way to obtain the Guard Armor. They couldn't have the guild's life players forge it without the blueprint, and they couldn't contact the player who crafted it because the player had hidden their name. Now that the Guard Armor had even better defensive power, they had to buy it at all costs, so the guilds immediately raised funds.

"Did you hear that? You must buy it for me. Bid 13 silver directly and see who dares to bid higher!"

"What? It's already 13 silver? Bid 13 silver and 50 copper. I don't believe they are richer than our guild."

In the hundreds of small towns of Baihe City, the hundreds of guilds continuously bid. Half an hour later, the seven sets of Guard Armor were sold for a minimum of 14 silver and 60 copper, earning Shi Feng more than one gold. Seeing the intense competition, Shi Feng took the opportunity to put up the Guard Heavy Armor for 16 silver and then left the auction house.

It was still night, with over half an hour until dawn. Going out to level up now would be unwise, so he first went to the library in Maple Town to learn more about the Elvish diary dropped in the Hell-level Silent Forest. There might be new discoveries.
