As Kakin was reintegrated into the existing world system, the originally volatile political situation immediately calmed down. Everyone's attention was attracted by the huge B·W1 ferry docked at the port that looked like a whale and could accommodate 200,000 people at a time to settle in the New Continent. They were impatient to see the spectacular sight of it sailing.
Of course, immigration on this scale obviously cannot be accomplished overnight, and the preparation of materials alone will take a long time.
During this waiting period, Kakin ushered in the largest influx of tourists in history.
Whether they are politicians, wealthy businessmen, ordinary people, or spies from other countries with other intentions, they all gather here, patiently waiting for a new page in human history to be turned.
Of course, these don't have much to do with Allen for the time being.
He is currently staying at the Hunter Association headquarters. While waiting for the arrival of the microbial expert introduced to him by Kido, he begins to classify the various types of cocoons and then tries to fuse them.
Other than that, I just spend every day in the auction house, studying how the "Shadow Soldiers" system works and whether it is connected to the server I originally played on.
Through his research, he discovered some pretty interesting patterns.
First, if you buy an item at a fixed price, the price of all similar items will instantly increase by 5%. If you buy a second item, the price will double to 10%, and so on. These rising prices will slowly fall back over time until they return to normal levels.
Second, if you use auction bidding, then almost every hour in the real world, there will be an unknown guy raising the price, and each time the price is raised, the proportion is about 10% of the reserve price. So the best way to save money is not to buy what you like, and wait until the time is up before bidding.
Third, if you want to sell something, the price must not exceed the average price of similar items in the auction house. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the auction will fail and the storage fee will be lost in vain. Moreover, selling a single item in large quantities will cause the average price of the item to fall rapidly.
Fourth, anything copied using Nen abilities cannot be put on the shelves.
Fifth, things in auction houses are not static, but will continue to change with the passage of time.
"Interesting! It seems that the auction house system doesn't seem like players are participating, but it seems like it is running according to a pre-designed program. But it doesn't matter, as long as I can buy what I want..." Allen touched his chin and analyzed.
With the money he earned from selling materials and equipment dropped by team Dungeon, he decisively started the bargaining mode.
I bought a lot of consumables like Nourishing Potion, Jungle Potion, Titan Elixir, Limited Invincibility Potion, Mongoose Potion, Giant Potion, Swift Swim Potion, Water Breathing Potion, and Free Action, which can play unexpected roles at critical moments.
As for something like "Sulfuron Hammer" which is extremely expensive and has basically not seen much improvement at this stage, it is better to put it aside for the time being.
Of course, as a person with a serious collecting habit, he actually wants the one-handed sword named "Tibb's Flaming Longsword" hanging in the auction house more than Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.
After all, the improvement of attributes is only a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing!
Unfortunately, the price of this weapon is a bit too high. It will take a long time to save up to afford it...
Just when Allen was obsessed with browsing the dazzling array of goods in the auction house all day long, trying every means to sell the things in his hands at high prices, Kido finally brought the expert over.
Looking at this young girl who was wearing a white protective suit and looked a little shy and very weak, Allen couldn't help but ask, "Is this the expert you found for me?"
"Ah! That's right! Her name is Sambika Norton, One-Star Virus Hunter, and she is one of the most outstanding doctors in the Hunter Association. It took a lot of effort for me to convince her to join your team." Kido patted the girl's shoulder lightly and introduced.
"Oh - I remembered."
Allen instantly realized who the girl in front of him was and nodded thoughtfully.
She is none other than the candidate who briefly appeared in the anime election chapter, and was once ranked eleventh in terms of votes.
"Hello... please... please give me some advice." Sambika Norton nervously bent down and bowed.
"Welcome to join my team. Also, don't be so polite. I don't have many rules here, and the number of people is not large. If you need anything, just tell me directly." Allen reassured with a smile.
"That's right! Even though this guy is relatively young, he has never disappointed at critical moments. He is a trustworthy and good captain." Fei Jie hugged the other person's neck and kissed each other very intimately.
The behavior of this female gangster instantly made Sambika Norton blush, lowered his head and hesitated and was speechless for a long time.
Kido couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this scene, and then directly stretched out his hand. "Hand over the reward you promised me!"
"No problem! It's all here!" Allen handed over the backpack he had prepared in advance.
Kido opened it and glanced at it, a satisfied expression appeared on the dog's face. "Awesome! It's such a pleasure to do business with you!"
"Thanks for the compliment! If you don't have anything else to do here, I will leave for V5 tomorrow to get information about the Dark Continent. If nothing else, we should meet again on the ship."
Allen didn't hide anything, he bluntly stated his next plan.
As early as half a month ago, he had received a call from Sreian, knowing that Kakin's current King Nasubi had formally invited him.
Although he was not sure what the other party's ulterior motives were, Allen decided to go to the appointment.
After all, he is full of interest in the previous winner Succession Contest.
And he really wanted to know how it felt as a father to watch his children kill each other.
"So early? I thought you had to wait for Hunter Exam to finish." Kido said with strong surprise in his tone.
"Sorry, I have no interest in this Hunter Exam. In fact, this Hunter Exam is not so much a selection of professional hunters, but more of a spy war involving several parties. Once Hunter Association is infiltrated, your life will be difficult in the future." Allen reminded meaningfully.
"Don't worry, I have found a suitable candidate to replace the vacancy of Zodiacs, who is responsible for screening candidates. There is still one spot left, do you want to come?" Kido took the initiative to invite.
"Join Zodiacs?" Allen shook his head without hesitation. "Forget it! I'm not interested in dealing with those endless trivial matters. What's more, what I do next may not be legal, and joining will actually implicate Hunter Association."
"What exactly do you want to do on that ship?" Kido frowned subconsciously.
"I don't know. It depends on the conversation I have with V5 and what kind of authorization they are willing to give me."
After that, Allen picked up his phone and booked a few luxury cabin tickets for Airship as quickly as possible, and left Hunter Association's headquarters with his team.
