The Haul from the Stalls
On the night of the fishing trip, a video went viral online.
The video is titled "A Victory Belongs to the Lucky One," and it mainly analyzes Wang Qianduo's performance.
The video creator seems to have been following Old Wang since the beginning of the event; he analyzed Old Wang while also commenting on the event.
However, this person is actually from the Sword and Rose Guild. The overall message of this video is roughly: how far can the Thousand King, who got here by luck, go?
The finalists have been announced after today's fishing session.
Besides Old Wang, the four Lords of the Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon guild and one of their core members also advanced, and people are predicting that their guild will be the biggest winner of this event.
Besides them, there's also Wang Xinghe, who's been live-streaming his advancement, the real Lucky One Kele'er's Bunny Baby, and Wu Shenqi from the Great Qin Empire, which is Sister Cat's Wu Shenqi.
There's another Player who's never heard Random Player Paul, whose in-game nickname is simply Paul.
Everyone on Old Wang's team except him was eliminated.
In the video Lieutenant General, the person attributed everything Wang Qianduo achieved to luck, and even predicted that he would be the second to be eliminated in the final event, just after that Random Player.
Old Wang really wanted to thank him when he saw this; thankfully, he wasn't the first one eliminated.
What this person said made perfect sense; if it weren't for the cheating involved, Old Wang would have believed him.
However, what this person said is indeed true; his success today is entirely due to good luck and a stroke of genius.
Old Wang will just look at these things and move on. These people's envy and jealousy online don't affect Old Wang at all.
Besides, if a dog bites you, can you bite it back? If you actually do bite, the only thing you'll get is a mouthful of fur.
If you see this kind of person in the wild, just give them a free ride back to the city; there's really no need to pay them any attention.
Moreover, if Old Wang achieves good results tomorrow, he will be the one who ends up being proven wrong.
However, this person isn't the most infuriating; what's infuriating are the seemingly reasonable comments below him.
There are also people who share this video everywhere. Rumors stop with the wise, but unfortunately, there are too few people with this "profession".
Ignoring the envious and jealous people, Old Wang opened all the boxes and gained 5 points of agility and 5 points of strength. He then went to the stall area of Homeworld Base with Lin Qimeng and the others.
That's why he's so unlucky; he opened five boxes and all they gave him were items that boosted stats, but he didn't get a single Intelligence.
Street vendor area
This event is incredibly popular, and although the chances of getting a treasure chest are slim, the sheer number of participants is overwhelming.
With so many people participating in the event, some lucky ones are bound to get some powerful items.
Not every Mecha has the same strong characteristics as Wang Qianduo; if you get equipment that isn't suitable for you, it's easy to end up with something you can't use.
Therefore, they can only choose to sell or exchange, and whether selling or exchanging, this market area is the best choice.
"Take a look! Freshly forged Special Rare Equipment! Unlike the cookie-cutter Instance Dungeon gear, this will definitely make you the coolest kid in the crowd!"
"Selling at rock-bottom prices! Equipment, selling at rock-bottom prices!"
"Exchange top-tier Fire Element equipment for earth-type equipment of the same level!"
The entire stall area is incredibly popular right now. Although it's usually quite popular, it's never been this crowded as it is today.
After entering the area, Old Wang was quickly drawn to an Orange stall.
The stall advertised powerful, Perfect Water Element skills in exchange for usable Perfect Equipment or Wind-Element Skill for Agility-Type Mech of the same level.
After clicking on the stall, Old Wang discovered that there was only one skill on the entire stall, priced at 100 million Gold Crystal.
Blizzard
Perfect
LV1
After a 3-second cast time, summon Blizzard that deals continuous energy damage equal to 150% of attack power per second to enemies within a 75-radius area, slows them down, and has a 10% chance to Freeze them.
Attack range: 300
Chanting time: 3 seconds
MP consumed: 100/s
Cooldown time: 15 seconds
Damage type: Energy damage
Proficiency: 0/1000
Slow: Reduces enemy Attack Speed and Movement Speed by 20%.
Learning Requirements: Ice-Element Intelligence-Type Mech
How should I put it? It's a fairly powerful control and AOE skill!
This skill looks great, but it's only on the surface.
Although it deals continuous damage, its mana cost is relatively low.
But that's only relative; 100 mana per second is a bit too much for most Player.
Then there's the damage figure of 150% attack power, which is a bit low for a Perfect skill.
As a Perfect Skill, this skill's damage is rather low, and it can't compare to skills like Chain Lightning at all.
However, Wang Qianduo's first reaction upon seeing this skill was to want it, because this skill would undergo a qualitative change in his hands.
Old Wang wasn't worried about range, damage, or mana consumption; in fact, these were all advantages for him.
He contacted the seller immediately, but the seller seemed to be talking to someone else and did not reply to him right away.
Currently, the most common Mecha in the game are the Agility Type Swordsman Mech, followed by the Mage Mech of all five elements.
These two Mecha are popular among Player because of their cool appearance and strong capabilities.
This has made these two types of Mecha extremely difficult to obtain; even for a skill like this, at least a hundred people are currently contacting the seller.
However, most of these people wanted to buy it with money, since they didn't have Perfect equipment and skills.
"You guys go look at other things first, I'll wait here. If you need more Gold Crystal, you can contact me, I have some left," Old Wang said to his teammates.
"Okay, then goodbye, rich king!"
"..."
"First of all, let me state that I don't want money. Either I want level 10 Perfect Equipment, or Perfect skills, or get lost!"
A while after Lin Qimeng and the others left, Wang Qianduo finally received a reply from the seller.
It seems he's been quite annoyed lately!
"What do you think of my equipment?" Wang Qianduo sent over the link to the Perfect weapon he had obtained from Old Huang a few days ago after killing Ping Shen.
This is a wind-attribute sword, which is a perfect match for Wind-Attribute Mech, and it looks very cool.
This equipment is randomly generated; theoretically, the rewards from Old Huang's missions should be the most suitable for the Mecha's attributes.
However, due to his Universal User nature, Wang Qianduo can use almost any type of equipment.
No one in the team needed this thing. Because it looked cool, he couldn't bear to sell it, so it sat gathering dust in a corner until today. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy today.
"Wait for me!" the man replied immediately after realizing that there was finally a reliable buyer.
"Should we exchange it directly or how?" Wang Qianduo asked after the man arrived.
"I would definitely be at a disadvantage if I traded skills for equipment, because you can't use level 10 equipment forever, but you can use skills."
"Give me an extra two thousand gold coins, and the skill is yours!" the man said.
Old Wang shook his head upon hearing this, and said, "Let's not even talk about how many people need the Perfect skill that you can use in the game."
But given how awkward this skill is, how many people do you think would be willing to trade with you?
And you want good equipment because you've experienced the hardship of not having good equipment to upgrade, right?
"That way I won't let you lose out. I'll compensate you with another Rare piece of equipment. You can choose the slot yourself. How does that sound?"
When buying and selling, you absolutely cannot just give someone whatever price they ask for; bargaining is essential.
Of course, the other party couldn't agree to Wang Qianduo's bargaining immediately. After discussing it for a while, Old Wang acquired the skill in exchange for that Perfect Equipment and two Rare pieces of equipment.
"Old Wang, lend me some Gold Crystal, I need to buy a support skill!" Sister Hua messaged after Old Wang bought the skill.
"Okay, where are you? I'll come find you!"
"Where are you, Brother Wang? Quickly lend me some Gold Crystal, I need to buy a Rare Class Change!" Yu Xiaoyu sent a message.
"Okay, where are you? I'll come find you!"
"Old Wang, I need to buy some materials!" Lin Qimeng.
"Okay, where are you? I'll come find you!"
"Brother Wang, I want to buy a wife, can you lend me some too!" Xiao Hai.
"Fine, get out!"
Hahaha (ω)hiahiahia
The group had so many things to buy that the Gold Crystal they had were far from enough.
Then they witnessed Old Wang's wealth; he would almost never refuse to lend Old Wang money.
Even so, they didn't see Old Wang Jinjing struggling at all; he was like an inexhaustible gold mine.
