Daniel looked at the little stone dragon and then at its ridiculously powerful skills, nearly laughing out loud with excitement.
Especially the last skill: Immortal!
This meant that as long as the dragon touched the ground, it could never die!
The little stone dragon nuzzled his hand, making a friendly cooing sound.
Then, it turned around and began chomping on its dragon egg, flapping its little wings up and down, clearly overjoyed!
Meanwhile, in Starter Village,
Crimson Soul held the blackgold-grade companion egg in her hands, looking utterly stunned.
"Did I really buy it...?"
"Is this a dream? But why me?"
Crimson Soulâs expression was complicated.
She couldnât understand why Daniel would sell her this companion egg.
After all, she knew her own worth, and this companion egg was definitely worth more than 10,000 gold coinsâthere was no doubt that someone else would offer a higher price!
She had even seen on the World Channel that a large guild was offering a million gold coins to buy it!
So, why her?
After hesitating, she couldnât help but send a message.
"Lord Faustus, why did you sell it to me?"
"I heard Rhine Guild offered a million gold coins, but I only offered 10,000..."
She waited for quite a while before a message finally popped up.
"Itâs nothing, just thought your name sounded nice!"
Huh?
Crimson Soul froze.
This reason... was way too casual, wasnât it?
For Daniel, since the companion egg wasnât bound to him, it was always going to be sold.
Who he sold it to wasnât particularly important; he simply chose someone trustworthy.
Crimson Soul would eventually become one of the top human fighters, always at the frontlines against the evil gods!
Helping herâand even Daniel selling those items to players at a cheap priceâwas in a way helping humanity rise!
Crimson Soul wasnât a pretentious person. Since she couldnât figure it out, she didnât waste time thinking more about it.
She looked at the companion egg in her hand, excitement flashing in her eyes.
"No matter what, I owe you one."
"If you ever need anything, feel free to ask me!"
She sent a friend request.
Daniel accepted.
Then, his profile picture completely grayed out.
Crimson Soul stood there, softly muttering to herself.
"Faustus, huh?"
"This game god... interesting!"
...
Leaving the east gate, Daniel headed straight for the Luminara Trading Company!
The [Luminara Trading Company] was the largest free trading market in Luminara, offering a wide variety of goods.
As soon as he entered, he casually walked up to one of the shops, and on the shelves, he immediately spotted what he was looking for.
[Money Bag Exchange]
He walked over and opened the product details.
[Money Bag (Special Item)]
Price: 10 coins
Effect: Stores gold coins in the bag, which will not drop upon death.
Description: Hide your coins so they canât be stolen!
Danielâs eyes lit up.
He remembered from his previous life that this was an item unlocked only after the main city opened, designed to reduce losses upon death.
In the game, players would drop all their gold coins upon death,
but the coins in the money bag wouldnât drop.
Moreover, the money bag was an equipment item!
What did this mean?
It meant that it could be traded!
This meant he could store gold coins in the money bag and then sell the money bag.
This way, the gold coins would become a tradeable item, allowing both the buyer and seller to bypass some of the systemâs restrictions.
More importantly...
Daniel suddenly had a brilliant idea.
He could sell the money bags to players, triggering the Millionfold Boost.
Then, the gameâs gold coins would multiply!
He took a deep breath and immediately bought 100 money bags.
[Ding! Youâve reached todayâs purchase limit for money bags!]
Then, he anonymously listed one item in the player marketplace, taking a "letâs try it" approach.
[Item: Money Bag (contains 10,000 gold coins)]
[Price: 1 copper coin]
[Purchase Method: Seller must agree!]
[Sellerâs Note: Cash transaction, 5 dollars = 1 gold coin... Interested parties can add the bank account: XXXX-XXXX... Pay first, then ship!]
He listed the money bag and began to wait.
Soon, someone on the World Channel noticed the bizarre listing.
"HOLY SHIT! Look at the marketplace, someone is selling a money bag containing 10,000 gold coins for 1 copper coin, but itâs a cash transaction!"
"5 dollars per gold coin? The black market price is only 3.5 dollars, right?"
"But the money bag is a good item, it prevents gold coins from dropping upon death!"
"Crap, if everyone starts selling these money bags, where will we get old items to drop gold coins..."
"This person must be crazy, only a fool would buy..."
Daniel knew someone would buy it.
Since the game had just opened, gold coins were extremely scarce.
Those big guilds, desperate to secure resources, were willing to pay high prices to buy gold coins.
Although 5-1 was expensive, to them, it was pocket change.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, he received a private message.
[Anonymous Player (Private Message)]: Iâll take the 10,000 gold coins, 50,000 dollars have been transferred to your account, please check.
Daniel opened his phone (the game pod had real-world communication functions), and sure enough, there was a bank text message.
[Your account ending in XXXX has received a transfer of 50,000 dollars...]
He immediately moved the funds through a dozen accounts to ensure it couldnât be traced back.
Once the money was secure, he returned to the marketplace, found the buyer, and clicked [Agree to Sell].
[Ding! Item sold: Money Bag (contains 10,000 gold coins), Price: 1 copper coin, Millionfold Boost triggered!]
[Received 1 gold coin!]
[Detected that the item has no quality attributes, automatic quantity increase, received 10,000,000,000 gold coins!]
[Detected that the transaction involves real currency, triggering real-world amplification!]
[Received 50,000,000,000 dollars!]
The next second, his phone vibrated wildly.
[Your account ending in XXXX has received fifty billion dollars...]
A series of transaction notifications flooded in, and his balance instantly reached a jaw-dropping number:
50 billion dollars.
Danielâs hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
He knew the system was insane, but he didnât expect it to be this insaneâit even amplified real-world currency!
He took several deep breaths to quickly calm himself down.
No matter how much money he had, it was just a tool. The true goal was that final, apocalyptic disaster!
After confirming his suspicions, Daniel quickly returned to the game.
He didnât need the moneyâgetting massive wealth so quickly was too risky for the shadow account.
He decided to slowly unload the goods in batches.
But now, he had more important things to do.
He headed straight for the guild registration NPC at the main city guild management hall.
"Hello, I would like to register a guild."
The NPC nodded politely: "Please provide your ID and 500,000 gold coins as registration fees."
Daniel pulled out the Apprentice Merit Medalâthis item gave him certain privileges with official organizations.
When the NPC saw the medal, their attitude immediately became more respectful.
"Ah, a meritorious person! You have priority handling rights."
"To register a guild, you need 500,000 gold coins and at least 3 members. Do you have members?"
Daniel shook his head.
"Just me for now."
"Just one person? That requires special permission."
The NPC thought for a moment and continued.
"However, with your Merit Medal, we can make an exception. Are you sure you want to register the guild?"
"Confirmed."
[Ding! You are registering a guild. Please enter the guild name.]
Daniel thought for a moment and entered a word: Doom!
