Chapter 845: Ostentatious Customers
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After receiving the message from Sanguine Warflag, Fearless was not at all surprised. He was not a fool and knew the kind of people he had provoked this time. Anyone would definitely retaliate if they were provoked by someone weaker than them. Furthermore, for a mighty guild like Divine Martial guild, this was an insult that they would not bear.
However, Fearless was not too worried about the current situation. He knew that Martial Yin Yang would not be so arrogant to think that he could do anything he wanted in Twilight City.
Players had a sense of belonging to the cities they lived in. If it really came down to it, Quan Zhen Sect could mobilise the guilds of Twilight City under the pretext of defending the sovereignty of their city. At that point, even the bigger guilds like Sanguine Alliance cannot sit back and not take action.
However, everyone knew the truth of the matter. Quan Zhen Sect had stolen 10 full sets of Obsidian Equipment. This will definitely generate a big reprisal from Martial Yin Yang.
The next day, when all the members of Quan Zhen Sect came online, w.a.n.g Yu received a system prompt.
Player Divine Soldier wants to accept you as a friend, do you accept.
w.a.n.g Yu was also a celebrity in his own right as he received a few thousand friend requests each day. As per habit, w.a.n.g Yu was about to ignore this request but something about this request from Divine Soldier piqued his interest.
Divine Soldier’s request was simple and it only stated two words, “Buying Equipment!”
w.a.n.g Yu saw the request and asked Frost Blade absentmindedly, “Did you list any equipment for sale recently?”
Frost Blade nodded in acknowledgement, “Yup, Fearless directed me to list all the Obsidian equipment on the forum. I left your contact details there.”
The equipment that Quan Zhen Sect stole comprised of some headgear, shoes and similar pieces of equipment. Quan Zhen Sect members did not really need these pieces equipment because their own equipment was already quite comparable to those. Furthermore, they were already familiar with their existing equipment so there was no urgent need to upgrade.
The most efficient way to distribute these pieces of equipment was to list on the forums and sell it for money. The proceeds from the sale then could be divided evenly.
Using w.a.n.g Yu’s name was to deter any low ballers, only sincere buyers would be entertained.
w.a.n.g Yu’s name held significant weight in Twilight City. Those who approach w.a.n.g Yu were indeed mostly genuine interested in buying the equipment.
“So this is the case…”
After listening to Frost Blade, w.a.n.g Yu accepted Divine Soldier’s friend request.
“I hear that you have a large quant.i.ty of Obsidian Equipment on hand?” Divine Soldier quickly inquired in a straightforward manner.
w.a.n.g Yu replied, “Yup!”
“Can I take a look at them first?” Divine Soldier probed.
“Sure thing! Come to Unity Street 24. Our office is over there.” After seeking Fearless acknowledgement, w.a.n.g Yu proceeded to send their office address to Divine Soldier.
Divine Soldier did not reply back immediately. The reply only came a while later, “Sure, I am on Central Street now. I will reach shortly after pa.s.sing through an alley. Can you guys come over?”
“He wants us to go over…”
w.a.n.g Yu was a little apprehensive after hearing his request, “Why do I feel so uncomfortable dealing with him, is he just toying with us? I have not seen such a fussy buyer before.”
w.a.n.g Yu had played the game for so long and had sold countless pieces of equipments before. Everyone knew that w.a.n.g Yu was a busy man and often met at w.a.n.g Yu’s convenience. This was because equipment was highly sought after commodities. If one buyer did not want to buy, there were many others clamouring to buy. Therefore, sellers had to be treated with respect.
Divine Soldier had the intention to buy such high-tier equipment yet requested for w.a.n.g Yu to meet him at his convenience truly puzzled w.a.n.g Yu.
Fearless had vast worldly experience. He lightly smiled, “There are tons of people like this. Pay to win players are everything. They think that they have money and can do whatever they want. They don’t give respect to sellers, even the system GM has to give them face.”
“This means that we have gotten a big customer this time. Old Bull you cannot be willful,” Ming Du and Vainglory interjected at the side.
One more day that the equipment that was robbed continued to stay in their hands, it was one more day that Quan Zhen Sect would face immense pressure. With a big customer on the cusp of closing a deal, everyone was afraid that w.a.n.g Yu would scupper a deal by throwing a tantrum.
Little Crotchy and Boson also advised, “The pay to win players are no different from the rich bourgeois elite in real life. They do not know how to treat people with respect. Just don’t pay any attention to them.”
“Okay, I will take note.”
There was no way w.a.n.g Yu could overcome everyone else’s good intentions. He took a deep sigh and left.
“I will accompany you!” Fearless stood up and volunteered.
“Why do you need to go?’ Everyone’s eyes all shot towards Fearless.
Fearless explained, “Old Bull’s negotiation ability is much lower than his combat ability. Are you guys really comfortable with him going to close the deal?”
“…” Everyone was speechless and in silent agreement.
Fearless a.s.sessment of w.a.n.g Yu’s negotiation abilities was quite accurate. w.a.n.g Yu usually would just accept whatever price that the buyer could afford. If he was a poor player, he would have definitely starved in the streets with his “generosity”. With Fearless in charge, there would be no worries that they would be shortchanged.
“If Fearless is going, then I am also going.” Ming Du stood up and interjected.
“Why are you going!” Fearless frowned.
“To protect the equipment…” Ming Du replied.
“Do you not trust Old Bull?”
“I believe you…” Ming Du was exasperated.
One by one the members of Quan Zhen Sect stated their desire to accompany w.a.n.g Yu for the deal. They really did not want anything to go wrong.
“Me too…”
“Me too…”
Seeing everyone’s doubtful eyes, Fearless shot a middle finger in the air and growled, “Well, let’s go all together! You bunch of sc.u.m!”
