Dongjiang City, outer suburbs, afternoon.
This is an inconspicuous state-owned farm. It has been abandoned for many years and has only one old man in charge of guarding it. However, today there are many guests in formal clothes.
"Captain Li?! I didn't expect you to be the one doing security today! It seems like the higher-ups really take this deal seriously!"
A fat middle-aged man wearing glasses walked quickly towards a tall and heroic young man who had just entered the farm compound, and extended his hand to him very enthusiastically, obviously knowing that this young man was extraordinary.
"Haha, it's not as serious as you said. It's just that the transaction location happened to be next to Dongjiang City, so I was called to make up the numbers... But what is the specific content of this transaction? The instructions sent from above didn't make it clear to me."
The tall young man known as Captain Li answered lazily, and then with a hint of curiosity revealed in his gleaming eyes, he asked the fat man with glasses in front of him who had just shaken his hand.
"The transaction list is here. Captain Li, please check it. When the seller comes to inspect the goods, you can help check it."
The fat middle-aged man wearing glasses then handed a document to Captain Li and asked him to look at it carefully.
"Elite-level Eye Demon 1...5 million... Chief-level Bone Demon King 1...20 million... Chief-level Wing Demon King...50 million... yo! This deal is quite big! But isn't the price a bit too low?"
Captain Li took a few glances at the documents in his hand and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, because as a senior player, he knew very well that the goods in this transaction did not match the subsequent prices, and it was obviously too cheap.
"That's why you're sent here to help."
The fat, bespectacled middle-aged man immediately smiled on his face after hearing this.
"This transaction was noticed by our staff on Player Forum. If all is true, the price/performance ratio will be very high, so our people tried to contact the seller to get this batch of goods, and the other party quickly agreed... I think Captain Li should know this situation. There is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and it is hard to say what will happen next."
After he explained the general situation to the tall Captain Li in front of him, a look of thought appeared on his heroic face.
"You mean... someone wants to use this seemingly good deal to plot against us Administration? Who is so brave? Dare to set his sights on us? And this bait is too obvious. I feel that the other party's methods are not very clever..."
Captain Li touched his chin and judged that the trap set by the other party was too crude. It could be said that it was almost the same as fishing with a straight hook.
"Captain Li, I'm not sure about this. You should be more patient when the seller arrives. The other party will come prepared. The people I bring may not be able to suppress the situation."
The middle-aged man with fat glasses said as he glanced at the more than ten staff members in the farm who looked like they were responsible for agricultural technology, and pointed at some hidden figures in the buildings on both sides of the farm.
"Not to mention those elite-level monsters, there are six leader-level monsters alone. It would be really difficult if something goes wrong with so many things... I'll do my best."
Captain Li immediately answered with a slightly serious tone, but his expression still showed a bit of laziness as before.
"Captain Li's words put me at ease. I have heard of your name Dongjiang City's number one master."
The fat middle-aged man replied with a smile, his trusting eyes fixed on the tall young man.
"Don't listen to those people's nonsense... Dongjiang City has a large population, and there are many advanced players. With my skills, I may not be able to rank first."
Captain Li shook his head in disapproval, without any hint of arrogance.
The two continued to chat like this, discussing how to deal with various situations that occurred next, and waited for the seller to arrive.
It didn't take long for it to arrive at 4:30 in the afternoon. When the sun was close to the horizon, Captain Li, who was standing at the door of the farm smoking, suddenly looked up at the sky.
As a high-level powerful player, his own perception is far beyond that of ordinary people, so even if there seems to be no abnormality in that place, he has discovered some clues.
"People are coming."
I saw him stubbing out the burning cigarette in his hand with his fingers, then turning around and shouting into the farm. The fat middle-aged man wearing glasses immediately walked out of the yard quickly.
A few seconds later, an unknown object appeared in the sky that he had just noticed. It first appeared as a small dot, and then the small dot expanded rapidly as it approached, and soon appeared as a red image of a galloping horse in the sky. There seemed to be a man wearing a hat sitting on the horse!
"Yo ho! Heavenly Horse? This seller has something special!"
Upon seeing this, Captain Li, who was the first to notice the incoming person, his eyes lit up and he stared at the approaching Heavenly Horse in the sky for several seconds, refusing to look away.
The people riding horses from the sky did not let them wait long before they landed in front of them, on the road in front of the farm.
"Hello, I'm here to trade monsters."
As soon as the maroon Heavenly Horse under the crotch of the visitor wearing a bamboo hat landed smoothly, the man on horseback spoke to Captain Li and others. His voice was low and he sounded quite young.
"Hello! We are official personnel here to trade these monsters. We have prepared the gold bars you want."
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man with fat glasses immediately responded to the man in a hat on horseback in front of him. Then in the yard behind him, a staff member pushed a trolley and approached the entrance of the farm. On the trolley was an iron box with an open lid. The box was full of golden gold bars. It looked very dazzling and very heavy.
"Can I see the quality of the gold first?"
The man in a hat on horseback spoke again after hearing this, with a somewhat questioning tone.
However, the fat middle-aged man with glasses did not immediately respond to his request. Instead, he looked at a tall young man next to him whose eyes were constantly scanning Heavenly Horse in front of him.
At this time, Captain Li seemed to be deeply attracted by the seller's handsome and extraordinary mount, but he was not distracted at all. He turned to look at the fat glasses beside him and nodded.
"You can inspect the gold first, but you must be accompanied by one of our people."
The slightly fat middle-aged man with glasses then spoke.
"No problem."
The seller wearing a bamboo hat replied nonchalantly, then jumped off the back of the chestnut-red horse and walked towards the door of the farm.
At the moment when he was approaching, the horse behind him suddenly spread its legs and rushed forward, and completely disappeared, disappearing in the air.
Captain Li, who was still observing the Heavenly Horse at this time, suddenly had a look of regret in his eyes and had to shift his attention to the person coming.
He seemed to be a man without much characteristics. Even if he wore a hat, he was only about 1.75 meters tall. He was not too tall or short, and his body shape was neither fat nor thin. The clothes he wore were ordinary everyday clothes. It was difficult to tell what his impressive features were. After all, his face was completely obscured by the black curtain hanging around the hat, and it was impossible to see even a single bit.
The person then passed Captain Li and the fat middle-aged man without any delay, crossed the gate of the farm, went inside and bent down to check the gold bars in the box on the trolley. Captain Li quickly followed after the Heavenly Horse disappeared, cooperating with other personnel for real-time supervision.
However, the seller did not do anything extraordinary during the inspection. He only reached out and took out a few gold bars from the box, weighed them a few times, then stretched out his hands to gently lift the very heavy box full of gold bars, put down everything, turned to the middle-aged man with fat glasses and said to the side:
"How do you want to test the monsters I brought?"
"Please summon the monsters on the transaction sheet into this compound in batches. It is best to ensure that they can stay quiet. We will have professional equipment to detect them. After confirming that they are correct, we will transfer ownership and complete the transaction."
The middle-aged man with glasses said it already.
"Okay, then I will summon the monsters one by one now."
The seller did not express any objection after hearing this. He waved his hand casually, and a huge portal with a classical style suddenly appeared in the air beside him. It seemed to be made of stone. There was a gray side inside the portal, and it was impossible to see anything there.
However, a second or two later, a ferocious bone head larger than a water tank poked out of the stone door, and then a terrifying body and sharp claws made of thicker white bones behind the head. When it completely came out of the stone door, it looked like a white bone hill standing in front of everyone. The aura on its body was quite terrifying, but it was very stable and motionless.
"The leader-level Bone Demon King, this momentum is unmistakable."
Captain Li, who was standing near the door, nodded and commented. However, he did not show the slightest nervousness after the terrifying monster appeared. He still looked a little casual as at the beginning, and he did not even take out any weapons just in case.
"Please wait a moment."
The fat, middle-aged man with glasses was no longer so calm. It was probably the first time he had seen such a terrifying monster at such a close distance, and his breathing could not help but become a little faster. Then he took out a tablet-like instrument from his pocket and pointed the camera on the back of the instrument at the leader-level Bone Demon. Then, the words "analyzing" were displayed on the front of the instrument, and it took several seconds to enter the next screen.
"The grade of your monster is true. Can you transfer its ownership to us first? Otherwise, we will not be able to store it properly."
After the inspection was completed, the fat middle-aged man with glasses looked at the ordinary seller wearing a bamboo hat and suggested.
"It's better to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. You give me enough gold first, and then I will transfer the monsters of equal value to you."
The seller thought briefly at this stage and did not choose to compromise. He still insisted on the trading philosophy of not suffering a loss.
The fat, middle-aged man with glasses was obviously a little undecided at this time, worried about what tricks the seller, who seemed to have a lot of tricks, would play, so he looked at Captain Li, who was watching calmly next to him, for advice.
"Do as he says."
Captain Li's answer was simple and direct, showing strong confidence in his calmness.
So the transaction continued, and the seller then lured out several monsters from the huge stone door he summoned. After these monsters were tested by the instruments in the hands of the middle-aged man with glasses and were genuine, they took out a portion of equivalent gold from the gold bar box and gave it to the seller.
The seller immediately sent the gold into the stone gate, and then he initiated a transaction with the people present to transfer the ownership of all the monsters that had appeared in the compound.
As soon as these officials obtained the ownership of these monsters, they used some kind of scroll-like thing to perform a counter-summoning operation on them, that is, they moved them to a mysterious place that only they knew.
After completing the first phase of the transaction, both parties were satisfied with the results, and then started trading the next batch of monsters and gold. About twenty minutes later, all the monster transactions were successfully completed, and all the gold bars were thrown into the huge stone door by the seller.
"Thank you for coming to complete this transaction with us. If you are interested, you can join our official organization. We will provide the best quality contracts to advanced players like you, and we will have the most professional and experienced team to advise you on your subsequent development plans..."
After the entire transaction was completed smoothly without any accidents, the fat middle-aged man wearing a pair of glasses secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began the next additional task, which was to try to recruit this mysterious player who could sell many powerful monsters.
Although the other party did not reveal his level throughout the whole process, just seeing the extraordinary scene of him riding Heavenly Horse and falling from the sky, as well as his ability to summon a space gate at will, there is no doubt that he is a experienced and high-level player.
"Thank you. Goodbye."
The seller responded quite simply to the solicitation. He dismissed the seller with a few words, and then walked towards the huge stone door that released all the monsters.
When the middle-aged man with glasses saw this, he didn't know that the other party was refusing and planning to leave. He immediately wanted to say something to retain the other party, but he felt that the other party's attitude was useless. He could only regret that he could not complete the additional task arranged above, and he did not dare to use too much force in this aspect, because players of the other party's level were obviously not easy to provoke. Although Administration was a giant, he could not make enemies for himself casually.
"Wait! Can you tell me which instance your horse exploded in?"
Captain Li was also a little concerned about the mysterious player's departure at this time, and he quickly asked a question that he was very concerned about.
"It's a low-level fantasy copy. I can't remember the specific name."
Upon hearing this, the seller's body, which had already entered the stone gate, paused for a moment, and said a sentence without looking back. Then he completely entered the stone gate, and with the stone gate completely disappeared from the farm compound.
