69: Selling gold coins
"By the way, what class are you playing? What level are you? Do you need me to carry you? I'm very strong, you definitely aren't as high a level as me."
Seeing the others leave, Yan Xiaoling started chattering away with questions again, boasting about how powerful she was.
"Oh wow, since you're so powerful, I guess I'll have to cling to your thigh!"
As he spoke, Xiao Xing squatted down, preparing to literally hug her leg.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaoling couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh; she hadn't expected Xiao Xing to actually try to hug her leg.
But she soon noticed people looking over, so she immediately kicked Xiao Xing away.
"Hmph, follow me."
Yan Xiaoling gave a cold snort, putting on an angry front. After glancing at Xiao Xing, she walked outside.
After that day, she had given her number to Xiao Xing, but this damn guy hadn't called once. She felt too embarrassed to call him first, so she had been feeling a bit irritable lately.
Now that she saw Xiao Xing, she was actually quite happy. As for what she wanted him to do, she wasn't even sure herself.
A moment later, Yan Xiaoling brought Xiao Xing to a small bungalow. After checking that no one was around, she quickly opened a door and pulled Xiao Xing inside.
"Can you even beat me?"
Xiao Xing watched Yan Xiaoling close the door, then stared back at her as she stared at him.
He was a bit surprised. Hadn't she learned her lesson last time? He didn't know what had gotten into this girl, wanting to mess with him again.
"In your dreams! This is my temporary resting place."
After Yan Xiaoling explained, she quickly turned around, her face flushing red as she smiled.
She found that when she was with Xiao Xing, she felt a strange sense of security that made her feel very at ease.
Moreover, she had been thinking about him constantly these past few days, leaving her with no motivation to learn how to handle cases with her colleagues.
Now, she wanted to bring Xiao Xing here and bully him back, getting revenge for being bullied last time.
You're so dense!
Yan Xiaoling waited for a moment, and seeing that Xiao Xing remained unmoved, she whispered under her breath, turned around, and wrapped her arms around Xiao Xing's neck.
"Doing this will affect the speed of my— mmm!"
Before Xiao Xing could finish, his mouth was blocked.
He felt that aside from being a bit bratty, Yan Xiaoling was alright in other aspects. He just hadn't expected her to be so proactive, making him a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment.
Before his Rebirth, he had worked hard to pursue Su Mei. Later, after joining the special forces, he had a crush on a goddess, but he knew he wasn't good enough for her, so he never dared to confess... After returning from the police station, Xiao Xing had a meal with Mu Yaner, and then she went online to play the game.
Xiao Xing didn't go online immediately. Instead, he browsed the forums, wanting to understand the game's current developments.
Today, Yan Xiaoling had bullied Xiao Xing quite thoroughly. After getting her revenge, she still didn't plan to let him off, saying she would come to deal with him slowly in a few days when she delivered his reward money.
Xiao Xing didn't care at all; it wasn't certain who would be dealing with whom, so he didn't think much of it.
Xiao Xing got a general idea of the events players were posting on the forum. Because he hadn't interfered much with the game, there hadn't been any major changes.
After watching for a while, Xiao Xing closed the forum, washed up, and went to sleep.
The next day, he went to the rooftop early to wait for the sunrise. Once the sun came out, he began to Cultivate the Body of Light.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Xiao Xing felt his Divine Soul power was exhausted, that he stopped.
Xiao Xing stood up and sensed the changes in his body, finding that his Physique had strengthened quite a bit. However, due to the consumption of his Divine Soul, he couldn't Cultivate every day.
Currently, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was still relatively thin. To Cultivate and improve would take a long time, so it was better to find ways to get attribute points in the game to increase his strength.
After dinner, Xiao Xing logged into the game.
For the next two days, he planned to use only his Golden Finger and go farm a large amount of equipment to sell.
His goal was to speed up the development of Dragon Country players. Of course, he also had to quickly increase his own strength. Who knew if there would be any butterfly effect after his Rebirth? Only with sufficient strength could he deal with unknown factors.
As soon as he went online, Xiao Xing bound his Dragon Country Bank Card to the Trading Pavilion and then listed 100 billion Gold Coins anonymously.
The ratio was 1:1, which was also the highest possible ratio.
Just as Xiao Xing listed them, the amount of Gold Coins began to drop rapidly, while his balance continued to grow.
He knew that most of the people buying Gold Coins were merchants, guilds, and Super Rich Players. They monitored every change in the game at all times.
With a large amount of Gold Coins, merchants could start reselling equipment and items. Guilds collected Gold Coins to plan for the future; whether it was purchasing a guild base or developing in various aspects, they needed a lot of Gold Coins.
In less than a minute, the 100 billion Gold Coins were instantly snatched up. Xiao Xing wasn't too surprised.
This amount was a lot for one person, but it wasn't much for the entire game. If divided equally among every player, each person would only get about 10 Gold Coins.
Xiao Xing had over 40 billion Gold Coins left. He didn't list any more. After withdrawing the cash, he closed the trading interface.
Using the Divine Deer's Space Jump, he went directly into the General Store of No. 88 Newbie Village.
When he appeared, Luge, who was in the middle of crafting something, was startled.
The Auspicious Clouds and Propitious Qi emitted by the Divine Deer illuminated the entire room, nearly blinding him.
"Sorry, I forgot about the Divine Deer's height."
Xiao Xing looked at the Divine Deer, which was almost touching the ceiling, and unsummoned it. Fortunately, the Divine Deer was only Rank 30 and wasn't that tall; otherwise, it would have broken through Luge's roof.
"Dad, what happened?"
Xiaoyue, who was outside, heard the commotion and ran in.
When she saw Xiao Xing, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly lunged toward him.
*Thud!*
She crashed firmly into Xiao Xing's embrace, her delicate hands holding him tightly.
"It's only been a few days, have you missed me that much?"
Xiao Xing rubbed her head, wanting to put her at ease.
Once a female NPC's favorability toward a player reached 80, it was like a lover's relationship.
The player might not feel much, but in her heart, she had already identified him as her lover, which was why she acted this way.
"But it feels like a long time has passed."
Cheng Xiaoyue lifted her head, revealing a happy smile. Perhaps because she was still a bit shy, her face was flushed red.
But she still insisted on looking at Xiao Xing's face, her expression very much like a little girl acting spoiled.
"It's okay, I'll take you to the city. That way you can see me often."
Xiao Xing now had a house, so he could let Xiaoyue live there later. There was no harm in taking her out. If handled well, he wouldn't be short of Alchemists in the future.
However, Xiao Xing didn't intend to exploit her. He didn't need her to teach apprentices all day. As long as she took on disciples, players could practice alchemy themselves to increase their proficiency.
Although proficiency would increase more slowly without a Master's guidance, this was a normal phenomenon. Players had proficiency bars; as long as their proficiency reached the requirement, they could promote to a higher-ranked Alchemist.
