Honestly, the loot Qin Ruo retrieved from the Graveyard of the Gods had been the source of his happiness as well as torture for the past few days.
Legendary Equipment, Pet Eggs, Magic Skill Books, Enchantment Gemstones, and Mana Core... Setting those things aside, he was still dazzled by the abundant Dark Gold Equipment in his storage.
Previously, it was difficult to obtain even one of them. He never expected that a chance event would allow him to stuff his Vault full with Dark Gold items.
Violet Orchid had brought him a pair of Legendary Frostin Greaves and two Dark Gold Aquamancer ss Equipment. She also hinted at Brother Da and Gold Digger Babe to avoid equipping Dark Gold Equipment before their level improved. In addition, Little Apple and iLittle Arrow also opted not to put on high-tier equipment for the time being. So, Qin Ruo had run out of ideas on how to deal with the excessive spoils lying in his vault. Furthermore, arge part of it did not actually match the Job ss of his current party members.
“Why don’t you bring it to the Trading Hall in Moonrise City?” Violet Orchid suggested to Qin Ruo.
“Trading Hall?” His expression darkened as he had obviously never heard of the ce.
That was when Brother Da interjected, “Oh, the Trading Hall? It’s a new type of trade. It wasunched just three days ago. A bastard by the name Casanova created it. He formted a new trading policy and patented it through the H&G headquarters. His trade aims to profit by charging amission from sellers who use the Trading Hall. yers like us only need to bring our equipment there, provide details, our target price, and set the period of consignment. Whoever visits the Trading Hall can then check the consigned goods based on the systemized categories.”
Thanks to Brother Da’s in-depth exnation, Qin Ruo gradually understood how the Trading Hall operated.
The Trading Hall depended greatly on the game’s recording system. It would automatically record the attribute of the consigned goods and match it with the existing database. That way, a storage vault or sale list would no longer be required. The merchant could effortlessly sort out the different types of equipment and price tags simply by utilizing the system’s algorithms.
Once a customer found his or her desired item and offered a price higher than the one set by the seller, the transaction would bepleted automatically by the system again if no counter-offer was proposed after a period of time. One percent of the transaction fee would be absorbed by the system asmission and fifty percent out of the one percentmission would be distributed to the Trading Hall.
Besides, the Trading Hall also provided service to yers who did not wish to sell their high-tier equipment in the form of gold coins. The yer only needed to pay a certain amount of service charge and the Trading Hall employee would then provide the most professional equipment query service. Once the equipment that fit the yer’s requirement came into sight, the Trading Hall would immediately notify the seller. This would go on until the seller was satisfied with the equipment, and authorized the trade by paying the processing fees that corresponded to the equipment price.
“Bravo!” Qin Ruoplimented sincerely. ‘In this world, some people earn through physical effort, some through professional skills, while a rare group earns using their wits. Thetter is certainly the most powerful as they haveplete dominance over the former two groups!’
A Merchant wasmonly known as the dullest nonbat ss in the game world. It relied on the business acumen of an individual yer to calcte cost-profit and earn a living in the virtual world.
What Casanova had done was unprecedented. He easily earned a fortune by intelligently drafting out a unique policy never seen before. Although the 0.5%mission seemed to be a little low, the Trading Hall business waspletely monopolized by its creator. In other words, no other Merchant ss yer would be able to emte his sess orpete with him.
What was more impressive was the fact Casanova deliberately put the game system’s algorithms into the mix. That indirectly tied the Trading Hall to the H&G corporation. It was not difficult to imagine that with official support, the trade was going to develop exponentially soon. Once it spread to the entire Mythical Continent and reached every single yer in that virtual world, the 0.5% processing fee would be an astronomical amount.

Though amazed, Qin Ruo did not dwell on it for too long.
After all, not everyone enjoyed such a life. Qin Ruo, for instance, was the kind who preferred stability and was less adventurous in nature. After he agreed to Violet Orchid’s suggestion, he transferred the Pet Eggs into the Sharing Column for Little Apple, iLittle Arrow, and Gold Digger Babe to choose. Meanwhile, he took a closer look at the three new equipment in his backpack.

Although the Legendary Equipment did not have outstanding attributes, it did provide two prominent advantages.
It provided a 20% reduction in approaching Fire Element Damage. Combined with the Iceris Cape’s 10% resistance and Aquamancer’s passive Fire Resistance trait, he could basically ignore Pyromancer attacks during a battle with this equipment set on.
Prolonging the Frozen Effect for one second was very practical too. It was especially useful against Boss monsters, whereby the extra second often decided the oue.
The defrost Gauntlet and Iceris Cape were handpicked by Violet Orchid as well as yer’s Heart from their Bauhinia League marketce, so no doubt, the two items matched Qin Ruo’s taste very much. Besides the enhanced Condensation Speed, the Snowde Burst was a rather great passive to have too.
He was only slightly disappointed that he could not put on the Frostin Greaves just yet, as the level restriction was 45 and above.

On the surface, Qin Ruo already had a full set of Dark Gold Equipment when he put on the defrost Gauntlet and Iceris Cape The Greaves and Boots were covered by his Dark Gold Robe*). With the new gear on, Qin Ruo looked more daunting than ever.
In the process of changing, the new masters of the three Pet Eggs were decided. The oue was just as Qin Ruo had expected.
The youngest Gold Digger Babe and iLittle Arrow picked the Three-tailed Terratoise and Darksteel Snowsnail respectively. They tacitly left the most promising Lethal Balrog to Little Apple.
“Okay, get ready everyone. Little Apple and both of you, bind with your Pet. After that, go and stock up on some potions. We’ll go to the Trading Hall togetherter. This is only the second day after the event ended, so this should be the peak period of people selling off their high-tier equipment. We should go and check it out. Perhaps we can get some good stuff out of it.”
“True that!” Qin Ruo nodded eagerly. He was still wearing two Gold Tier Equipment, and he could not wait to rece them with Dark Gold ones. After all, he had almost perfected all of his Water Element Spells to either Master or Advance Tier, plus he had sessfully assimted most of his skills. It was about time to boost his Defense and Attack with the help of some equipment.
However, Qin Ruo’s primary target to trade his two Legendary Equipment, Darkscale Skelewing Rope, and Helm of Storms remained. If he was allowed to trade for a high-tier Aquamancer ss equipment, he would even be willing to offer the Thunder-Type Divinity he had in possession.
Fusion with Divinity was not elemental specific. Any yer was free to fuse with any type of Divinity. More than six Tier 5 Supreme Champions from both the Angel and Demon Factions had already fused with Divinity thus far. Despite that, Qin Ruo still subconsciously felt that it was best to fuse with Divinity of the same Element type.
Those yers who had fused with Divinity of different Element types so soon were indeed formidable now and even jumped to be the strongest among the Tier 5 Supreme Champions. However, they may, at some point, regret such an impulsive decision in the future.
Qin Ruo still had ample time left, so he was not rushing it.
Right then, he was looking forward to visiting the Trading Hall. He wondered whether there was anything in there that could tempt him to splurge on.
