Chapter 119: Sold Out So Damn Fast

Murong Shanshan approached me with a bright smile and asked, “Where did you get that temporary attack scroll?”

I glanced at the few people behind her, then lowered my voice and whispered into her ear, “You can make these scrolls using skill books obtained from quests. Priests can craft them now, and they usually add about 70 points of attack for six hours.”

As I spoke, I handed Murong Shanshan a quality 77 temporary scroll and smiled, “This one’s free, but if you want more later, I’ll have to charge.”

Murong Shanshan stared in surprise at the scroll in her hand. After a moment, she drew her sword and used the scroll. The deep blue Night Elf sword instantly shimmered with a vivid crimson hue, strikingly beautiful yet tinged with melancholy.

She swung the longsword through the air and exclaimed with delight, “So it really does add temporary attack! Lin Fan, this scroll will definitely sell like hotcakes. How much are you planning to charge per scroll?”

I thought for a moment and replied, “Let’s start at 50 copper per scroll of quality 70. If it sells well, we can raise the price. That should be fair.”

“No way, you’re thinking too small!” Murong Shanshan immediately dismissed my idea. “People would pay tens of thousands of RMB for a weapon with 50 more attack. Do you really think a scroll adding 70 attack is only worth 50 RMB? Even if the effect lasts only six hours…”

I was at a loss, so I asked, “Then how much do you think it should be?”

“At least 200 per scroll, no question,” she said confidently. “And if the skill level is high enough to get above quality 100, I think 500 per scroll wouldn’t be too expensive. Lots of people need these scrolls for boss fights, quests, or PvP. If guild wars ever happen, the supply will be tight, and charging 1,000 per scroll would be totally reasonable!”

I was amazed by her confidence. “Really? It can sell for over 200?”

“Of course! And don’t bother shouting in the streets; that’s ineffective. It’s better to spend 5,000 copper on a system announcement. That way, everyone in Silvermoon City will know.” She winked and smiled, “Trust me, it’s worth it. Don’t be stingy with that 500 RMB—you have to invest to earn!”

I considered carefully and said, “How about this, Shanshan—you help me with the system announcement. You know I’ve rubbed the boss of ‘Flirtatious World’ the wrong way. If he shows up to cause trouble, it won’t be good…”

“That’s no problem, but the 5,000 copper for the announcement…”

“I’ll pay! I’ll pay!!”

Twenty minutes later, Xue Han emerged from the cathedral. From a distance, she saw Murong Shanshan standing beside me. Hesitant at first, she still walked over and said, “The scrolls are ready!”

I nodded, and Xue Han immediately dropped 180 temporary attack scrolls on me.

The few boys behind Murong Shanshan stared wide-eyed at the stunningly beautiful Xue Han. Aside from Murong Shanshan, they’d never seen such a gorgeous girl.

“Uh… That’s Brother Qingcai, right? Is this beauty also from your studio?” one of Shanshan’s classmates, called “Cool Guy,” walked over to chat with me, his eyes never leaving Xue Han’s ample chest.

I silently cursed him for his lecherousness but kept my tone friendly. “Yes, she’s my colleague. Is there something you need?”

“N-No…”

Cool Guy nervously shook his head while staring at Xue Han’s face. Nearby, Murong Shanshan looked speechless and walked over to me. “What about the announcement?”

I gathered my thoughts and handed her the text. Soon, Silvermoon City and its surrounding towns received the system notification—

System Announcement (Player Murong Shanshan’s shout): “Temporary Attack Scrolls for sale at Silvermoon City’s east gate! These scrolls add about 70 points of physical or magical attack to your weapon. All friends doing quests, fighting bosses, or PvPing, come take a look! Once it’s gone, it’s gone~!”

As Murong Shanshan made the announcement, I quickly planted the stall’s banner in the center of the square. The crimson flag fluttered in the air, emblazoned with bold letters: “Temporary Attack Scrolls—Specialty Store!”

I swiftly priced over a hundred scrolls at the stall: quality 60 for 200 RMB, quality 80 for as much as 400 RMB. Players gradually gathered, while Xue Han and I kept a close eye on the stall. Murong Shanshan didn’t rush off but stood aside, watching the show unfold.

Two minutes passed with no activity, and just as impatience grew, the stall messages finally appeared—

Player “Kill or Die” bought a temporary attack scroll (quality 82) for 420 RMB!

Player “Graceful Milk” bought a temporary attack scroll (quality 64) for 220 RMB!

Player “Flat Chest, Uneasy Heart” bought a temporary attack scroll (quality 74) for 300 RMB!

…

The stall’s messages flooded in uncontrollably, pouring down rapidly. In just five minutes, nearly a hundred scrolls sold. My earnings had already surpassed 30,000 RMB, and I expected to sell out completely within the next ten minutes.

I glanced at Xue Han in surprise. “Xue Han, keep making them. More than half are sold already, and we’ve made over 50,000 RMB in pure profit!”

“Ah?” Xue Han beamed with joy and dashed back into the cathedral.

“Well? Didn’t I say so?” Murong Shanshan was full of pride. “After this batch sells out, let’s raise the base price to 500 RMB. Scrolls close to quality 90 can go for 1,000 RMB. Rich people are everywhere!”

I nodded with a smile. “Sounds good. By the way, where were you all headed earlier? You got held up by me.”

“Nothing much—just taking a few of them out to level up…”

I was stunned. “They still need you to lead them in leveling?”

Murong Shanshan looked helpless. “I have no choice. The monsters east of Silvermoon City are the highest level and give the most experience, but they’re also the toughest. If I don’t tank for them, it’s dangerous even to level up.”

I couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. The leader of a guild reduced to a meat shield…

Murong Shanshan smiled. “Anyway, let’s go level up. You keep making money. Don’t be late for the auction at 8 a.m. tomorrow!”

An auction tomorrow morning?

Heh heh, that’s my golden opportunity!
