How to Trade

Xiao Fan: That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear.

"Brother Zhou, I have an idea, what do you think?"

"Brother Xiao, what do you say?" Zhou He replied immediately.

"Since we can't use this Resurrection Art clue anyway, why don't you trade it for it? Think about it, the only one who can use this clue is that mysterious God-Tier Skill owner."

"Since that person can create God-Tier Skill, it means he has an extremely strong ability to create skills. If you can use clues to exchange for basic Heaven-Tier Skill books, it's a sure thing for us."

Zhou He's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the message Xiao Fan sent.

"That makes sense!"

Without God-Tier Skill, even the most precious clue to Resurrection Art is useless to them. Rather than keeping it, they might as well trade it with someone else.

If you could exchange it for a few Heaven-Tier Skill books, it wouldn't just be a sure thing, it would be an incredible windfall.

Only after Zhou He acquired Heaven-Tier Skill did he realize its power.

If they could acquire more Heaven-Tier Skill, the difficulty of conquering the Secret Realm would still be greatly reduced.

"Oh! How come I didn't think of that?"

But Zhou He thought about it carefully, and realized he didn't even know who the player with the God-Tier Skill was, so how could he trade with them?

"Brother Xiao, your idea is indeed feasible, but the problem is that we don't know who that player with the God-Tier Skill is, so how can we trade with him?"

Xiao Fan remained silent. In the Cloud Sea, besides listing items directly on the Trading House, face-to-face transactions were also possible. However, the Trading House safer, but currently there was no option to barter; items could only be listed and purchased using Core Power.

Putting aside the high transaction fees, the process itself is very difficult.

If it were a face-to-face transaction, firstly, Xiao Fan would need to leave the Novice Zone, and secondly, his identity would be exposed.

It is indeed very difficult for the two to trade.

However, it's impossible to get Xiao Fan to give up the Resurrection Art.

Unable to think of a solution, Xiao Fan could only reply to Zhou He, "Brother Zhou, you can spread this news first. I think that God Rank player will definitely contact you once he knows you have clues about the Resurrection Art."

Zhou He thought Xiao Fan's words made sense, "Okay, I'll spread the news when I get back. Tomorrow I'll go back to the Real World and post on Game Forum in various countries. No matter which country that God-Tier Skill player is in, I can guarantee he'll see it."

Xiao Fan:... Won't this be too high-profile? Aren't you afraid someone will try to steal it?

But upon closer reflection, Zhou He must have been confident to do so.

I closed the chat window. It was already dark outside, and the villagers were all returning from cutting down trees.

Xiao Fan's mind was now completely occupied with the Resurrection Art.

How can I successfully complete a transaction with Zhou He?

"Why don't we ask someone else?"

There are only two people you can ask in Zone 18: Wind Snow Traveler and Qin Muyu.

Xiao Fan actually trusted Wind Snow Traveler more. He couldn't quite understand Qin Muyu, but she really knew how to handle problems.

After thinking it over, Xiao Fan still went to Qin Muyu's thatched hut.

Seeing Xiao Fan arrive, Qin Muyu was clearly surprised. "Is there something you need?"

I want to ask you about something.

"You say."

Xiao Fan: "Is there any way for me to trade items with players outside the Novice Village?"

"Didn't we just leave the Trading House? Cross-server trading is allowed, so you can exchange items there?" Qin Muyu replied without thinking.

Xiao Fan shook his head. "No, it's easy for someone else to snatch it away."

Qin Muyu immediately understood what he meant. Xiao Fan probably wanted to trade skill books, which were not only valuable but also highly sought after.

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes. Qin Muyu was too clever for his own good!

"The Novice Village is not accessible from the outside; you need to leave the Novice Village first if you want to talk to someone."

After speaking, Qin Muyu stared at Xiao Fan. Seeing that he had slightly furrowed his brows and clearly did not intend to leave the Novice Village, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want Xiao Fan to leave Zone 18 so soon.

"Is there really no other way?" Xiao Fan persisted.

Qin Muyu paused for a moment, then said, "There's another way: take the items out of the game, exchange them in the real world, and then bring them back into the game."

"You can do that?" Xiao Fan asked in surprise.

Qin Muyu nodded. "Some things in reality can be brought into the game, so why can't things originally taken out of the game be brought back? However, this operation requires two-way payment of Core Power. As for the price of materializing skill books, I'm not sure."

Xiao Fan:... She really guessed it.

The thought of the price of materialization made Xiao Fan's face turn grim.

The manifestation of Heaven-Tier Skill requires ten million Core Power, which is several tens of millions.

A hundred million that just arrived in their account, and they're going to spend it all like this?

The Resurrection Art clue is even more valuable; Xiao Fan doubted whether he had the money to bring the clue back.

What should I do? I'm so conflicted.

"Don't worry, the real-world price isn't based on the in-game item's monetary value, but rather on its actual value."

"The skills you possess in the game can be used in reality, which means the amount of Core Power required for realization is very high. If a skill book cannot be learned in reality, its price for realization won't be too high."

Xiao Fan understood after Qin Muyu explained it this way.

"Let's give it a try first. If it doesn't work, I'll trade with Zhou He after I find the secret to evolution and leave the Novice Zone," Xiao Fan thought to himself.

"Real-world transactions are very dangerous. If your identity is exposed, you will be in great danger. I suggest you trade through the Triangle Auction House."

"Triangle Auction House?"

"Yes. The Triangle Auction House is located at the border of the Dragon Nation, the White Nation, and the Black Nation. Many players trade there, so you don't need to worry about your identity being exposed, and the transactions will be safe. If you want to go, you can contact me, and I'll go with you."

Seeing Qin Muyu's familiar expression, Xiao Fan sighed inwardly.

People from big families are just different.

He was still learning the Yellow Rank Skill Chain at school, while others were already working at the Triangle Auction House.

"Okay, thank you for your help with this."

"Don't mention it, we're teammates," Qin Muyu said, then added, "We'll catch up in level soon."

Xiao Fan:... It will be a little difficult for you to catch up with me.

Back in the thatched hut, Xiao Fan faced another problem.

That is, how he contacted Zhou He and the others.

It's definitely not okay for him to send a private message himself.

In the game, besides the players in Zone 18, he only knew Ye Bugu.

We definitely can't let the people from Zone 18 go to Zhou He about this. If we ask Ye Bugu to help pass on the message, Zhou He will probably be able to find him by following the clues.

At that point, not only will his possession of God-Tier Skill be exposed, but even his possession of Heaven-Tier Skill might be revealed.

Why can't this game add an anonymity feature?

Xiao Fan scratched his head in frustration, then suddenly, something occurred to him.

"I wonder if I could create a skill that can hide information."

Since the game doesn't require skills to be limited to damage output, healing, and support, functional skills like hiding information should also be possible to create.

Xiao Fan's current Core Power can be upgraded to level fifteen at any time.

The only problem is the stats; once you get the required stats, you can upgrade at any time.

With a goal in mind, Xiao Fan began to consider his next skill and its characteristics.
