After leaving the shop, Ailan explained to Chen Yi, "Old Bao and his kind make their living by buying bargains and reselling them."
"Don't be fooled by that look of huge losses on his face. I'm basically certain he got them from new players at extremely low prices."
"There's nothing remarkable about saying it out loud, but in reality, he keeps pushing the boundaries of what the major guilds will tolerate."
"Major guilds and Merchant Guilds regularly go out to buy good items from new players. What Old Bao does is essentially steal money from those guilds."
"If he gets discovered, major guild players could easily hunt him down in the game. That's why they're all extremely cautious. The Old Bao we saw last time didn't even have this face."
"We don't know what his nickname is either. We only know that he's called Old Bao."
Chen Yi quietly absorbed Ailan's words.
Whether it was from Qian Duoduo or Old Bao,
it was clear that passive skills were somewhat overpriced. The reason they had been driven up so high was actually the same as with Enchantment Cards.
Once the core players of certain guilds had more or less perfected every aspect of themselves, they would start becoming stronger through the finer details.
Enchantments, higher-level enhancements, passive skills.
Conversely, if one had not pushed the other aspects to their limits, passive skills were less cost-effective than improving elsewhere.
But Chen Yi was currently in a rather awkward position.
In terms of equipment,
the several Purple Quality pieces he wore were unexpectedly practical.
The Tenacity effect of the Lost Will ring ensured that Chen Yi would not lose his ability to fight before death.
Its skill-enhancing effects were somewhat optional, but its main advantage was its flexibility.
