Chapter 118 (Preparing The Stall)
“Lin Fan, what’s going on? What’s the money-making plan you were talking about?” Lu Xue Han went online and appeared next to me.
I immediately gave the Blessing of Strength skill book. After about a minute later, Lu Xue Han looked at me surprised and said, “How did you get this skill book? Its ability is just too sick.”
I smiled and said, “The skill book is a mission reward. You’re right, this skill is very sick. I want to see first how much the added range is. They sell blank scrolls in the grocer at one silver apiece. You should buy one and use the skill so I can see how much Attack points can be added.”
Lu Xue Han nodded, immediately learning the skill and then bought a scroll back. With her two little hands emitting a pink glow, she brushed over the blank scroll. Immediately, a complex pattern appeared on the scroll; that should be the power of the seal.
“There, test it out.” A scroll suffused with golden light appeared in my transaction column. She said with a smile, “It cost me 300 mana points to make one. Fortunately, I have almost 5,000 mana points, or else, I could only make a few each time.”
I looked at the scroll in my hand… Temporary Blessing Scroll (Quality 82): temporarily increase a weapon’s Attack.
I activated the scroll and directly released the effect on my Sword of Darkness. A red light suddenly flashed and the Sword of Darkness also emitted an azure light. It looked like a falling star in the dim of the night.
“He he, so beautiful. Quick, see how much is the added effect.” Lu Xue Han chuckled.
I quickly opened the weapon properties’ panel…
[Sword of Darkness] (Blue Equipment)
Attack: 170-245 (Attack +82 temporary)
Strength: +28
Stamina: +24
Agility: +21
Required Level: 32
…
Lu Xue Han dumbfoundedly looked at me, “It temporarily increase 82 Attack. A level 32 blue sword almost equaled the Attack of a level 40 purple weapon.”
“I wonder if it’s fixed at around 80…”
“Doesn’t matter, just try again a few times. Just now, I made some rough calculation. It takes about 10 seconds to create one, so we could only make a bundle in half an hour.”
She said while handing over several more scrolls to me. It seemed that she wasn’t staying idle the whole time.
Thus, I quickly erased the effect on the weapon and then used another scroll again. This time, the quality of the scroll was 84. As I expected, it also added 84 points of Attack. That’s right, as I had thought, the added Attack was the same as the quality. This way, it’s also good. We could sell the scroll based on the different quality then.
I looked carefully at the five scrolls she gave me, the qualities are respectively 84, 72, 62, 68, and 77. Basically, it’s in the 60-80 range. That’s good. Although the Attack would be significantly enhanced, but it wouldn’t be too strong to the point that it would affect the game balance. Previously, I thought that this skill was a BUG, but now that I thought about it, the setup in [Moon Monochrome] was quite reasonable, and something absurd like that shouldn’t exist.
Lu Xue Han blinked. She asked me grinning, “How much should we sell this scroll for? With my full mana points, I could only make 16 of them. Currently, the blue potions, which add 800 mana points, cost 20 silver coins each. The cost is really high.”
I thought for a while and suddenly came up with something, “In the main hall of the Cathedral is a healing priest, which can recover Health and Mana in an instant. It only costs one gold coins each time.”
Lu Xue Han was slightly surprised, “Oh, one gold coin… Right now, I only have 67 gold coins…”
I just now remembered that yesterday, because of the excitement of killing the monsters in the Land of Icewind, I took all the money and equipment. Lu Xue Han only got the a piece of purple staff. She also consumed a lot of potions, so naturally, she was poor.
“Ah, I completely forgot that I keep all the money from yesterday…” I couldn’t help but smile and then traded 3,000 gold coins to her. With this, the cost for the scroll production would be sufficient, and I would still have more than 1,500 gold coins left, which should be enough for daily consumption.
“Xue Han, you should go to the Cathedral to make the scrolls. We’re not leveling tonight, just making money. At the moment, there aren’t many people who ranked higher than us anyway. You are currently ranked at third position in Silvermoon City. Even if Murong Shan Shan wants to catch up with you, she would still need about a day or so.”
Her beautiful eyes glittered as she looked at me as if she suspected me somehow. Thereupon, I quickly explained, “I won’t stay idle either. I’ll go to the city gate to advertise. One hour later, we’ll set up a stall there. I’ll be in charge for that. You just need to make the scrolls.”
Lu Xue Han nodded. She bought some more blank scrolls and went into the Cathedral. I watched the crowd at the East gate come and go; such an infinite opportunity.
I went to the Marketplace and bought a virtual stall from the NPC there for 100 gold coins, and a small yellow flag immediately appeared in my inventory. Once the flag was used, it would be available for three hours. It’s equivalent to 33 gold coins per hour to setup a virtual stall, so no wonder, within the large East gate square, no one was setting up a stall yet.
The preparation was done, so I immediately ran to the middle of the square and began to shout, “All the heroes passing through here, don’t miss this out. In one hour, there will be a massive sale of temporary Attack buff in the city’s East Gate square, it can add 60-90 points of Attack to your weapons. Essential for both leveling up or PK. If you buy it for your wife, it will be twice as effective as using an Indian God oil. Even if you’re not buying, you should come to take a look…” (TL Note: Although I’m not sure, I think the Indian God Oil is something that people use for lovemaking purpose.)
After shouting for several minutes, I didn’t see any effect. Everybody just glanced over with their strange eyes. It seemed that they didn’t believe my words, they didn’t even come over to ask. Ten minutes later, although this was in the game, but my throat still felt somewhat uncomfortable and my voice began to rough up. Damn it, shouting was really not something an ordinary person could do.
“Oh man, shouting so happily, what are you up to?”
A sweet voice came from behind; it was surprisingly the long time no see Murong Shan Shan. Behind her, a dozen player whose level wasn’t low either were following her. Their equipment were also quite good. These should be her main force later on when she setup her guild. The level 37 Thief, Stealing the Heaven, who was also among them, looked at me with a hostile face…
