67: A weapon sold for 800,000?
Under Xu Lian's detailed explanation and precise operation, the King's Ruin at the King level was successfully cleared.
"It's true, it really doesn't seem that difficult."
Lin Shufen, as if waking from a dream, nodded and sighed with emotion.
It turns out that once you understand the mechanics, this dungeon isn't as scary as imagined.
From King's Ruin to Screaming Cavern, Xu Lian cleared almost all ancient dungeons.
While clearing, he also taught players the characteristics of each monster.
The viewers who watched the tutorial finally realized.
It turns out these maps are not difficult at all; as long as you master the gameplay mechanics, you can clear them with just one life.
"No wonder I lost health when fighting the second knight; it was magic reflection!"
"No wonder the Minotaur BOSS was always invincible; it turns out you need to clear out the robots first!"
"Haha, following the Designer's method, I cleared Screaming Cavern with only two Life Tokens!"
"My roommate said these dungeons couldn't be cleared even with twenty Life Tokens, which scared me from ever trying."
"Learned, learned, time to 'touch gold' in Screaming Cavern and get rich by dropping a magic sword apophis!"
"Upstairs, remember to bring me along if you get rich!"
For a time, Lin Shufen's Streamer's audience dwindled considerably.
This was entirely due to players who, after watching the tutorial, couldn't wait to rush to the ancient dungeons to hunt for treasure.
In Dungeon & Fighter, there are countless high-priced tradable equipment and materials.
This also led to many players starting to make a living by selling materials and equipment, becoming professional 'brick-movers'.
As long as they had a valuable piece of equipment, they would buy a loudspeaker to advertise, hoping to exchange equipment for RMB.
Initially, these people just hoarded some high-value materials for fun, but later found they accumulated more and more, eventually making money by 'moving bricks'.
When some top 'brick-movers' showed screenshots of their game-earned income on forums, ordinary players couldn't sit still and joined the 'brick-moving' army.
And now, the divine equipment from ancient dungeons is so expensive, 'brick-movers' naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to get rich.
If they could drop the magic sword apophis, which has the highest market price, it would be a true overnight fortune.
Even more so, the Krypton Gold Boss (wealthy spenders) publicly announced on forums: anyone with a magic sword apophis, they are willing to pay 100,000 RMB for it.
This is not a small sum of money; it's enough for a down payment on a car.
Therefore, outside Screaming Cavern, it's now full of 'brick-movers' and Ghost Swordsman players trying their luck.
The divine equipment from ancient dungeons not only has incredible stats but is also all tradable.
To balance the game, Xu Lian deliberately lowered the drop rate of these items, making it only half of the Abyss Mode.
But even with a low probability, it couldn't stop players' enthusiasm for the magic sword apophis.
In the afternoon, after Xu Lian and Lin Shufen had been clearing dungeons all day.
Finally, a Ghost Swordsman player, who was on the same channel as Xu Lian, sent a message in the public channel that shocked the Streamer's audience.
This message also included detailed information about the equipment.
And this equipment was precisely the magic sword apophis!
"Dropped! Dropped! I actually dropped the magic sword apophis!! Hahahahaha! [magic sword apophis]"
This news instantly ignited the entire public channel.
"Holy cow! It's really the magic sword apophis, what kind of Ou Huang bloodline? So envious!"
"Ah! I also want a magic sword apophis, Great God Xu, please ask for one for me!"
"Brother, you're set, have you considered selling it? I'll give you 30,000 and transfer it immediately!"
"30,000? Are you trying to make people laugh to death? People on the forum are offering 100,000, and you think you can get a magic sword for that much?"
"So angry I'm spitting blood! I beg someone to hack his account! So jealous!"
"Wow! Mr. Xu, someone in our channel dropped a magic sword apophis!"
Lin Shufen looked at the message with the magic sword apophis, exclaiming with a face full of envy.
"Pretty good luck."
Xu Lian also couldn't help but sigh.
Back then, he had cleared Screaming Cavern for several months without seeing a trace of the magic sword apophis.
It wasn't until later in the game's version, when the magic sword's price dropped, that he bought one from the auction house.
But this person, in just one afternoon, got it done; indeed, luck is something that cannot be compared.
After a busy afternoon, the several characters in Lin Shufen's hands were finally no longer fatigued.
"Alright, let's play together next time when we have time; I'm going to edit videos now."
To help players understand the mechanics of ancient dungeons as quickly as possible, Xu Lian recorded videos for an entire afternoon.
With these videos, players should no longer be stumped by ancient dungeons.
"Mhm, mhm."
Lin Shufen nodded happily.
"Streamer! I just heard that the magic sword apophis that dropped this afternoon sold for 800,000 RMB!"
"Holy cow! Someone spent 800,000 to buy that magic sword apophis!"
"A weapon sold for 800,000? Is that true? Where did you see it? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"The one upstairs is true, the forum has posted transfer records, it was indeed sold for 800,000!"
"My goodness, 800,000? That money could cover the down payment for an apartment in Jianghai City, right?"
"Sigh, I'm going to pull an all-nighter clearing Screaming Cavern tonight; I also want to drop a magic sword apophis, I also want to buy a house!"
Looking at the sudden surge in bullet comments in her Streamer's room, Lin Shufen said in surprise:
"Mr. Xu, my audience says that the player who dropped the magic sword apophis this afternoon sold it for 800,000."
"Is that true?"
Xu Lian asked with a surprised expression.
In previous versions, he had seen wealthy spenders spend over 100,000 for a magic sword apophis, but he didn't expect the big shots in this world to be even crazier, willing to shell out 800,000 for it.
They are truly too rich!
"It's true, there are screenshots."
Lin Shufen looked through the images sent by netizens, answering with great certainty.
"I heard it was because two wealthy spenders were fighting over it, bidding against each other, and that's how it was driven up to 800,000."
"So that's how it is."
Xu Lian said calmly, as if he had already expected it.
It seems that Screaming Cavern will become a sacred place for players to 'touch gold' in the future.
After all, who could refuse a divine artifact worth 800,000?
However, no one expected that the news of game equipment selling for 800,000 would spread wider and wider, with its popularity constantly rising.
In just a few days, the entire internet was buzzing about this matter.
At first, everyone thought it was a marketing stunt by a game company, until more and more evidence was exposed, and the person involved, unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion, directly posted chat records and transfer screenshots with the wealthy spenders, which completely confirmed the matter.
Soon, this matter topped the Weibo hot search list:
"[Explosion! Dungeon & Fighter Player Reveals Earning 800,000 Cash from a Piece of Divine Equipment! Reportedly Already Paid a House Down Payment in Jianghai City!]"
Clicking on the Weibo link, it included detailed chat records and a screenshot of the 800,000 transfer notification.
