Chapter 12: Selling Weapons and Activating the Combat Ability System

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Storing all the items, Xia Feng dismantled the dungeon chest by the way.

[System notification: Gold +6]

[System notification: Silver +6]

[System notification: Iron +10]

With those materials, he basically had all the materials needed for the Lightning Crossbow and the Frost Blade except two pieces of Silver.

Xia Feng opened the trade menu, and searched for Silver. The result was empty.

It meant that nobody had Silver yet.

Or even if they did, none of them was selling it.

He checked the time. It was 10 at night.

There were two hours to go until the number of explorations was reset.

In the last two hours, Xia Feng crafted the Superior Lightning Crossbow.

[System notification: Gold -4, Silver -6, Iron -10, Wind Spiritual Runes -12, Fire Spiritual Runes -12, Earth Spiritual Runes -4]

An awesome golden-and-silver crossbow appeared in Xia Feng’s hand.

The Lightning Crossbow had three slots in total, allowing it to shoot three arrows at once. It could also shoot one.

If it shot three arrows, it could more likely hit the target; if it shot one arrow, it would be more powerful.

The arrows had to be crafted. One piece of Iron could be turned into five arrows. They could be reused until they were destroyed.

[Lightning Crossbow: A very powerful crossbow. The arrows it shoots out are highly penetrative, and the lightning on them is paralyzing. It can store 10 arrows at the same time]

[System notification: The Lightning Crossbow is powered by Source Crystals. One Source Crystal can support 100 shots. If three arrows are shot at the same time, it’s considered as three shots.]

Xia Feng opened the craft menu, and forged 20 arrows with four pieces of iron.

Loading 10 arrows into the crossbow, he grabbed the crossbow in his hand.

It was very convenient to fire the Lightning Crossbow. He could control it with his mind.

Basically, when Xia Feng aimed at one place, he could shoot out arrows by thinking about it.

Due to the lack of suitable targets in the area, Xia Feng couldn’t practice the Lightning Crossbow, and could only try it later.

Storing the Lightning Crossbow, Xia Feng opened the trade menu, and searched for Spiritual Containment Fruit and Mind Giving Grass.

As he expected, nobody was selling those things.

Xia Feng opened the private channel, found Lin Feifan, and sent him a message.

“Pay attention to Spiritual Containment Fruit, Mind Giving Grass, and the special recipes. Inform me if anyone sells them.”

Lin Feifan soon replied, “Alright, Boss.”

They had agreed that Lin Feifan would call Xia Feng boss.

“This is your advance pay. Do your job well, and don’t get killed.”

After sending another message, Xia Feng opened the craft menu.

He crafted a sharp long saber at the cost of four Iron and four Bronze, and offered it to Lin Feifan.

[System notification: You offer an Exquisite Sharp Long Saber to Lin Feifan.]

According to what he had learned, Lin Feifan killed a young misty monster on his own, so he was worth investing in.

Lin Feifan instantly replied, “Thank you, Boss.”

Xia Feng didn’t respond to Lin Feifan anymore.

He took a look at the materials he had.

No Wood, 10 Stone, 18 Bronze, eight Iron, two Silver, and eight Gold.

20 Source Crystals, four Fire Spiritual Runes, 18 Water Spiritual Runes, 14 Earth Spiritual Runes, eight Wind Spiritual Runes.

There were also herbs and other miscellaneous stuff that Xia Feng didn’t bother to count.

Thinking for a moment, Xia Feng crafted another two Exquisite Sharp Long Sabers at the cost of eight Iron and eight Bronze, and consigned them.

[Seller: Xia Feng-0364133458]

[Item to be sold: Exquisite Sharp Long Saber]

[Items desired: 6 Bronze, 6 Iron, 2 of any spiritual runes]

[Alternatives: Recipes, any four spiritual runes, Spiritual Containment Fruit, Mind Giving Grass]

[Stock: 2]

[Seller’s note: Only two are available. There’s no telling when the next batch will be made.]

The Exquisite Sharp Long Sabers were quickly sold after they were put on the market.

Then, the public channel was exploding again.

“Shoot, Master Xia Feng is starting to sell weapons!”

“I really can’t compare to him! I don’t even have enough food!”

“Master, can you lend me one saber? I’ll definitely give you two tomorrow.”

At the same time, messages popped up on Xia Feng’s private channel too.

“Master Xia Feng, do you have more of those sabers? My Internet just lagged.”

“Master Xia Feng, please sell me another saber.”

“Master Xia Feng…”

Basically, everybody was begging Xia Feng to sell more sabers because they failed to buy one.

It would be stupid not to make money out of this, so Xia Feng continued crafting.

A few seconds later, another three Exquisite Sharp Long Sabers were put on the market.

They were sold out the moment they became available.

It was the first day in the game. Many people were in dire need of a weapon after the dangerous adventures on the islands.

Because of that, Xia Feng quickly sold out 43 Exquisite Sharp Long Sabers.

In the meantime, Xia Feng didn’t change the price at all. He earned 85 Iron, 86 Bronze, and 86 spiritual runes.

The 86 spiritual runes included 22 Fire Spiritual Runes, 24 Wind Spiritual Runes, 25 Water Spiritual Runes, and 15 Earth Spiritual Runes.

It was obvious that selling weapons was highly profitable anywhere.

However, it was only profitable for now. He couldn’t earn as much money when other people looted similar recipes.

At this moment, Xia Feng was only taking advantage of the information that other people didn’t know.

Putting another five Exquisite Sharp Long Sabers on the market, Xia Feng released the shelter, and took a rest on the wooden bed while he waited for midnight.

Time went by second by second. Very soon, it was the start of the second day in the game.

[System notification: The Combat Ability System and the Regional Rank are activated.]

[System notification: Measuring your combat ability. Measurement succeeded. Your combat ability is 971 and the top of your region. Do you want to hide your combat ability (this is the privilege of the top)?]

[System notification: The top 10 on the Regional Rank will be rewarded.]

[System notification: The Planetary Rank will be activated on the seventh day of the game.]

“Hide part of my combat ability, and make it 10 points higher than the second place,” Xia Feng said to himself. He didn’t know if it would work, but he decided to try it.

[System notification: You’ve successfully hidden your combat ability. It’s now 131.]

[System notification: If you stay on top of the ranking for more than 12 hours, you will be given a Top Fighter Chest at the beginning of the next day.]

After reading all the notifications, Xia Feng opened the regional chat channel, and checked the rank.

First: Xia Feng, 131 Combat Ability

Second: Drake Haski, 121 Combat Ability

Third: Lin Xiaowan, 108 Combat Ability

Fourth: Zhang Yu, 101 Combat Ability

***

There was an “acquaintance” on the ranking. Xia Feng didn’t expect Lin Xiaowan to be in his region too.

After a quick glance, Xia Feng quit the ranking menu, and intended to go to the 11th island for the Silver Chest.

Before he quit, he glanced at the regional channel, and one of the messages caught his attention.

Drake Haski: I thought that Xia Feng was so good, but he only has 10 more points of combat ability than I do. I’ll surpass him soon.

Drake Haski was a special force soldier who had already explored eight islands thanks to his remarkable body build.

Also, Drake Haski had secured an A rating in the first dungeon.

A moment earlier, he found the Recipe of Exquisite Leather Armor from a Bronze Chest.

Drake Haski believed that he would definitely eclipse Xia Feng after he made the Exquisite Leather Armor.
