Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Soon, wave after wave of players poured into Amber City once again.

Although many players had been able to get some of the loot during the battle this time, the number of players who were able to get purple-grade equipment was still very small. In fact, some didn’t even get a single piece of equipment.

“To think this guy has purple-grade equipment to be auctioned!”

“F*ck, the biggest winner of the battle in the Frost Worship Grounds this time is this guy, right?”

“I haven’t even collected a complete set of blue-grade equipment!”

Many players began to complain. Comparing themselves to him was just infuriating. Lu Yuan had once again attracted the hate of many players.

“Who exactly is this guy?” Bingshuang Luanwu asked Xiongba Tianxia who was next to him.

“He gives me the feeling he knows the game like the back of his hand. No matter what it is, he’s always ahead of us!” Xiongba Tianxia shook his head and sighed. All these years, he had always been at the peak of every game he played, he did not expect to be completely suppressed by Lu Yuan in this game.

Soon, Lu Yuan’s auction house was filled with players. Originally, there were some players and guilds that were planning to kill Lu Yuan in the auction house to snatch his equipment, but when they saw the teams of golden-armored guards in the auction house, they gave up on this idea. With their current levels, they would only be left with the option of being beaten up by the golden-armored guards.

At this moment, a sexy NPC wearing a sexy short skirt appeared in the auction hall. She said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Lu Yuan’s Auction House!”

That’s right, the auction hall that Lu Yuan opened was simply named Lu Yuan’s Auction House.

“The items being auctioned today are the loots Sir Lu Yuan has obtained from the Frost Worship Grounds! The auction begins now!”

“Item 1: Frost longsword, blue-grade! With additional skill! The starting bid is 30 gold coins!”

“Item 2: Frost staff, blue-grade! With additional skill! The starting bid is 30 gold coins!”

“Item 16: Frost set equipment, blue-grade! With set skill! The starting bid is 100 gold coins!

“F*ck, set equipment!”

“How many good items does that guy have? He’s even selling equipment!”

“Have you forgotten? The equipment he’s currently wearing is a set of purple-grade equipment!”

“Oh, right.”

“I bid 130 gold coins!”

“What are you doing? Didn’t we agree to only look and not buy?”

“I can’t help it. The equipment is too attractive!”

“I bid 150 gold coins!”

“Who dares to compete with me? I bid 170 gold coins!”

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan, who was under the stage, was so happy that he was about to fly. With this, he could earn a lot of money.

“Item number 20: Divine boots! Purple-grade! The starting bid is 200 gold coins!”

“F*ck, purple-grade! And boots at that!”

“Damn, is he not the king of thieves?!”

“This pair of boots suits me perfectly. I bid 250 gold coins!” Bingshuang Luanwu stood up and said.

“I bid 300 gold coins!” Xiongba Tianxia also said.

“I’m sorry, but I bid 350 gold coins for this pair of boots!” A clear and melodious female voice appeared. Everyone looked over and saw a woman with seductive eyes. She was looking at Xiongba Tianxia and Bingshuang Luanwu with a smile.

“It’s the guild master of Jiangnan Yanyu Guild, Liu Ruyan!”

“Just by listening to her voice, I can tell that she must be a great beauty in real life!”

In the end, the divine boots were successfully bid by Liu Ruyan for 350 gold coins. Due to the drop rate of boots being relatively low in the game, such equipment tends to be more expensive than the others.

After that, a few more pieces of purple-grade equipment were auctioned. All of them were taken by the large guilds. It had to be said that those who could build large guilds were all rich in real life. If they didn’t have enough game gold coins, they could just reload with cash!

“Next up is the final item for auction: Divine crystal armor, purple-grade! Has additional skill Immunity that allows the wearer to be immune to one attack within a second! The cooldown time of the additional skill is 60 seconds. As long as the timing is right, it can be a weapon that will allow you to kill enemies of a higher level. It’s a deadly counter-attack weapon! The starting bid is at 300 gold coins!”

“F*ck! I want this thing. That additional skill is really sick!”

“With your reaction speed, it’s useless on you!”

“I bid 400 gold coins!” Bingshuang Luanwu directly placed his bid. For expert players like them, the Immunity skill allowed them much more room to operate.

“I bid 450 gold coins!” Xiongba Tianxia also placed his bid!

In the end, the purple-grade equipment was bought by Bingshuang Luanwu for 600 gold coins!

“Thank you for your support. Today’s auction is over! Those who have successfully bid items, please follow me backstage to collect your items!”

Lu Yuan, who was backstage, was about to fly from delight. Seeing the gold coins in his account, he felt that even his dinner would taste better tonight.

…

The next day after the auction, the Princess invited Lu Yuan to the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Princess Alice, what can I do for you?” Lu Yuan immediately asked when he saw Princess Alice. He liked doing missions for the Princess because her mission rewards were very generous.

“Young warrior, Amber City is no longer in danger. I invited you here because we will be holding Sir Rogge’s funeral in two days. I hope you will attend,” Princess Alice said with an unnatural expression.

Lu Yuan glanced at Princess Alice. Logically speaking, such an expression should not appear on an NPC like Princess Alice.

At this moment, the pressure in his heart increased sharply. It seemed that Solaka and Rogge were not the only NPCs that were starting to have humanity, but even the Princess. The time left for him was becoming less. He had to become stronger faster.

If the game and reality were to fuse ahead of time, then his being reborn would not be able to change the fate of the real world!

Lu Yuan’s expression immediately turned solemn.

[Princess Alice has issued a hidden mission to you — attend the funeral of Mage Rogge]

[Mission requirements]: Attend the funeral of Mage Rogge in two days!]

[Mission Rewards]: Reputation points +10, EXP +1000, gold coins +50, Princess Alice’s favorability +200!

[Mission Failure]: Reputation points -100, EXP -1000, gold coins -50, Princess Alice’s favorability -300!

[Mission Duration]: Three days!

Lu Yuan did not hesitate and immediately accepted the mission. Although the reward for this hidden mission was not much, Lu Yuan still respected Rogge. Even though Rogge was only an NPC, he was willing to sacrifice himself for Amber City by completing the Lava Scorching Sun Array. without Rogge, he would not have received such a generous reward for killing the apostle!

“Dear Princess Alice, please rest assured. I will definitely attend the funeral of Sir Rogge,” Lu Yuan bowed to Princess Alice and said respectfully.

After accepting the mission, Lu Yuan left Amber City!
