Player Trading Market

As night fell, Xiao Fan returned to his residence. Everything had gone smoothly that day, and he had even reached level 80.

Xiao Fan's original plan was to create a skill tonight, but after hearing Zhou He say this morning that high school students would be entering the game, Xiao Fan had a new plan.

He plans to create several different Skill Chain for high school students about to enter the game to choose from.

The Skill Chain are clearly defined based on team roles, including main tank, healer, ranged DPS, Warrior, Assassin, etc.

The skills should ensure they can develop on their own in the early game.

Xiao Fan wanted to do this for two reasons. First, the events in the City of Kings had affected the security of the Real World, and increasing the strength of new players could make up for the original server energy shortage.

Secondly, he wanted to improve the overall game strength of the Dragon Nation, because this would directly affect whether the Dragon Nation could participate in Ranked Match after the next ranked version was released.

Previously, Xiao Fan obtained some information about the Ranked Match version in the Cyberpunk World secret realm.

Once the Ranked Match begins, not all planetary servers can participate; only the stronger planets are eligible.

At the end of the season, planets with low ranking Points will be completely submerged by the <Cloud Sea>.

Therefore, to ensure the survival of your planet, you must have a high Points at the end of the season. To have Points, you must participate in Ranked Match. To participate in Ranked Match, your planet's server strength must be among the best.

With the arrival of the <Ghost Domain> version, the Ranked Match version won't be around for long, so Xiao Fan has to plan ahead.

Not to mention, the Blue Star's "Ghost Domain" version arrived earlier than expected, which means their game development time is shorter than other planets, and their planetary strength is naturally lower than others.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan became even more eager to create Skill Chain.

However, creating such Skill Chain is not easy, since advanced skills must match the player's characteristics and attribute requirements to be successfully created.

These are two things that newly enrolled high school students do not possess.

However, there are currently events in the game where skill levels will increase by one. Previously, Earth-Tier Skill chains required specific characteristics, but now, successfully created Mystic Rank skills will directly become Earth-Tier Skill.

Each level increase in skill tier significantly raises the skill's damage cap.

In this way, Xiao Fan only needs to create Mystic Rank skills with attribute requirements.

As for the attribute requirements...

Each of Xiao Fan's Skill Chain has different attribute requirements. New players can choose the Skill Chain that meets their attribute requirements.

If a player's attributes are all below the required level, then Xiao Fan really has no way to help.

Keep trying, kid.

However, most players will have one outstanding attribute. After all, after the game's invasion, all students have been training since childhood, and by high school they have been training for many years. Their physical fitness is definitely much higher than that of the underage students when the game first invaded, and their game attributes will also be higher.

Besides that, there are also my cousins.

Both of them were going to enter the game, and Xiao Fan certainly wouldn't be so casual about it with his younger brother and sister.

However, they can't even meet the attribute requirements for high-level skills, let alone their special characteristics.

"Oh, right! Some Heavenly Spirit Treasure can increase attributes. I can collect some of these Heavenly Spirit Treasure, materialize them in reality, and let them consume them to enter the game!"

Without delay, Xiao Fan immediately took action.

What he could think of, others could also think of: to collect Heavenly Spirit Treasure before the news of high school students entering the game was announced.

Xiao Fan first opened the Trading House and looked through it.

Very well, there isn't a single one for sale.

"Let's go check out the Trading Market."

Every city has a player Trading Market, and most players prefer to sell expensive items there to save on the high Trading House fees charged by the Trading Market.

Nighttime is the busiest time in the Trading Market.

As Xiao Fan approached, various hawking sounds and conversations filled the air.

This was Xiao Fan's first time visiting the Trading Market, and he found it incredibly lively.

The market was bustling with people and brightly lit. Stalls lined up one after another, and players could be seen sitting cross-legged on the ground everywhere, with a cloth spread out in front of them displaying items for sale.

The buyers walked around, stopping frequently, and occasionally squatting down to ask questions.

Xiao Fan's arrival attracted the attention of many people.

In Dragon City, players this young are a rare sight!

Most of these players come from families with some power, which is why they dare to bring people to high-level cities like Dragon City.

The most distinctive characteristic of these people is...

Those with Core Power but little experience are the most naive and easily deceived.

Of course, the game items they sell all have information displayed, so others can immediately tell what they are used for.

But!

So what!

Many game items have descriptions of mysterious uses, but no one knows what they do. These items are the perfect way to fleece these "easy targets".

For a time, many buyers set their sights on Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan glanced around casually; the Trading Market offered a wide variety of goods.

There are clothes and accessories that players made themselves in the game. There are Fierce Beast pelts, teeth, and bones. There are skill books, and it's obvious that these are the equipment of retired players. Heavenly Spirit Treasure and precious items, and even mounts for sale.

Xiao Fan had no idea the Trading Market was so bustling.

Actually, only the Trading Market in Dragon City has a rich variety of goods in the entire game. Most of the players here are high-level players, who obtain more items than players in other places, hence the abundance of goods.

Xiao Fan walked along, looking around and sighing.

Etc!

Xiao Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

What did he see?

It's Talent Stone!

No, do players even sell these things?

Xiao Fan's fingers trembled slightly.

He feels like he's won the lottery when he gets a Talent Stone from a dungeon.

It turns out someone was selling Talent Stone.

Are we all playing the same game?

What Xiao Fan didn't know was that, due to the complexity of the talent system, most players didn't realize the importance of talents.

One more thing, Talent Stone require Star Stone to activate.

Currently, the only ways to obtain Star Stone, besides drops from secret realms, are through entering the Myriad Phenomena Platform (for players level 100 and above) or by dismantling talents.

The player finally collected enough Star Stone to identify the talent, only to find that it was still the worst white one.

White is one thing, but the inlay attempt failed.

After all that, the player got nothing.

The Talent System has too high a sunk cost for ordinary players! It's simply not something they can afford to play, so they might as well sell Core Power to someone else to make money.

With that in mind, Xiao Fan walked up to the player's stall that sold Talent Stone.

"How much is this?" Xiao Fan asked, pointing to the Talent Stone.

The seller was a man in his thirties with a rather casual appearance. When Xiao Fan asked about the price, he held up two fingers.

"Two hundred thousand Core Power?"

Xiao Fan thought about it and decided that the price wasn't too expensive, so he chose to trade with the stall owner.

"I've forwarded it to you."

Xiao Fan took the Talent Stone and left.

The stall owner's fingers trembled.

What idiot? He said 20,000...
