Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

"50-80...?"

After listening to Pipi Shrimp's analysis, Fang Yun nodded, looking thoughtful.

As a reborn individual, and having dealt with high-end equipment almost every day in this life, he himself was a reincarnated individual.

Therefore, in terms of equipment valuation, he can definitely be considered the number one person in the entire game.

His final estimate for the belt was 65-80, with a maximum of 85.

In other words.

The price quoted by the mantis shrimp vendor was roughly the same as his.

But be aware.

He was able to make such an accurate prediction because he was extremely experienced.

Despite being an arms dealer, Pipi Shrimp is a real man-made goods dealer.

But even the most shrewd arms dealers pale in comparison to someone like him who flaunts high-end weaponry every day.

There are significant differences in all aspects.

But the mantis shrimp gave what he considered a fairly accurate valuation.

This can only prove one thing—

This skinny young man in front of me is a natural expert when it comes to valuation!
"Hey... buddy, what exactly do you do?"

Compared to Fang Yun's appreciation, Pineapple and the others' reactions were much more genuine.

They knew the belt must be very expensive, and they had a general idea of ​​what it would cost.

But that's not their main job, and most of the accounts the club operates were provided by Fang Yun.

This resulted in the equipment on these accounts being increasingly outrageous.

However, the exact value is not very clear because Fang Yun doesn't sell them much.

But the result?

This is the first time that Pipi Shrimp has appeared at the club.

Upon seeing this belt for the first time, I immediately gave a clear price quote.

They weren't blind. Fang Yun not only didn't object after hearing the price offered by the mantis shrimp, but even showed some appreciation for it.

This means that even Fang Yun agrees with this offer.

This is really serious.

"Brother Xia is my arms supplier in the snow mountain. This is his profession. Estimating the price of equipment is a piece of cake for him."

After estimating the price of the mantis shrimp, he reverted to being the taciturn, bespectacled man he always was.

Fang Yun smiled and took the initiative to explain.

"Wow, Brother Cheng's personal arms supplier? My apologies!"

Upon learning the true identity of the mantis shrimp, Pineapple was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and shook hands with the other party firmly.

Having reached his level, apart from Fang Yun, he no longer needs to deliberately please anyone.

But he's not blind.

Fang Yun, as the boss, clearly admired this young man very much.

He was a club employee and senior member.

Naturally, it's also important to establish a good relationship with the other party as soon as possible.

"Alright, the auction has only just begun. There's plenty more fun to come."

Fang Yun waved for Pineapple to go back and sit down. After thinking for a moment, he had Pineapple log out of her account and log into her own YY ​​account. Then he sent a message to Meditation.

Fang Yun and Meditation had met a few times in offline competitions.

But apart from offline matches, the two didn't interact much at other times.

Fang Yun simply didn't want to have too much to do with this guy, while Mingxiang had always wanted to climb up to his towering tree.

But after realizing that Fang Yun didn't seem to be interested in him.

He could only shamelessly ask Fang Yun for various contact information, and then quietly lie in the contact list without ever interacting with her once a year.

And it was precisely because of his persistence.

Although Fang Yun almost never actively contacted meditation.

However, he had the other party's YY friends, which made his actions today easier.

The message he just sent to the other party was very simple; he asked if it was convenient for them to reveal the final transaction price of each piece of equipment.

Logically, this kind of information should absolutely be kept confidential.

After all, in the world of fantasy, anything involving high-end transactions is considered a mistake.

Neither buyers nor sellers want outsiders to know the true transaction price, so that they can hype it up through various means.

for example.

Just like that belt from before.

According to Fang Yun's assessment, the actual transaction price of this belt would not exceed 85 yuan.

But he assured me.

Once the deal is actually completed, all sorts of rumors will immediately start circulating, saying that so-and-so spent millions to snatch up this belt.

The reason for these shady tactics is that we're all in the same circle.

In situations where you see each other all the time.

To avoid volatility or collapse in the high-end trading market.

Everyone should voluntarily maintain the liquidity, value retention, and appreciation potential of these traded assets.

The saying goes, "A beautiful sedan chair needs many people to carry it."

The high-end arms trade circle is not very large to begin with.

Everyone in this circle must do their best to maintain its stability, even if they know it might turn into a game of musical chairs, they must still try their best to keep going.

of course.

Compared to the increasingly inflated high-end trading market of the previous life.

During this period, the bubble in the high-end trading market for fantasy items was not that big. No matter who completed a transaction, they would only quote 20-40% more than the actual transaction price, and at most, it would not exceed 50%.

This is much more reliable than the publicly quoted prices that kept doubling in my previous life.

The premium offered in the publicly quoted price is not unreasonable.

Therefore, transactions in the high-end market are still quite active.

Fang Yun wanted Meditation to reveal the true transaction price of each piece of equipment to him.

It wasn't that he was interested in the equipment, but rather that he wanted to take this opportunity to see just how keen Pipi Shrimp's sense of the high-end trading market really was.

Simply put, this is an interview.

As for whether meditation will grant him that favor.

He wasn't worried about that.

Meditation's position within the team makes it impossible for him to make decisions on matters like this.

After receiving his message.

The other party will definitely ask their boss for his opinion immediately.

In other words, Fang Yun was seemingly asking about meditation, but in reality, he was asking Westbrook.

Westbrook, on the other hand, is someone who has already made up his mind to quit the game.

Regardless of whether he and Fang Yun had gotten along in the past, since Fang Yun had asked, he would definitely answer.

For no other reason than Fang Yun's significant position in the industry.

He has so much equipment to deal with now.

At this critical juncture, offending a powerful figure who can make the entire Martial God Arena tremble with just a few words is not a wise choice.

The mantis shrimp was unaware that its own interview test had already begun.

Half a minute later.

Despite being extremely busy hosting the auction, Xiangyin managed to spare a few seconds to send over the transaction price of the belt she had just received.

"They received 44 sealed bids in just over ten minutes? These big shots are really going all out!"

Looking at the message from Meditation, I learned that in just a short while, the belt had already received bids from 44 bosses.

Even the well-informed Pineapple couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement!
It's important to know that the meditation mentioned 44 sealed bids, but these were clearly selected after screening to determine those who were genuinely interested in purchasing.

If we also include those who wanted to take advantage of the situation, this belt has conservatively received at least a hundred offers!

A belt that costs at least several hundred thousand yuan is receiving so many offers.

This undoubtedly confirms one thing from another perspective—

There are so many top players in Fantasy Westward Journey!

But that's not the most shocking thing.

The moment the final transaction price given by meditation appears.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted from the screen to the mantis shrimp, making him feel extremely uneasy.

"75... You must have some kind of supernatural ability, kid?!"

Pointing to the transaction price given by meditation on the screen.

Pineapple looked on incredulously, her gaze towards the mantis shrimp particularly strange.

The final transaction price of this level 140, 14-forged Crystal Clarity Wrath Belt was 75, which is not outrageous, but rather quite reasonable.

But here's the thing.

Even before the belt was sold, the mantis shrimp had already made its decision.

The selling price of this belt will fluctuate between 50 and 80!
This isn't an appraisal; it's a matter of words becoming law, deciding the fate of the world with a single sentence!

"Brother Cheng, tell me honestly, did you give Brother Xia some private tutoring? Such accurate valuations are clearly your specialty, how come he can also give such accurate estimates?"

After the initial shock, Pineapple suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.

Because in his opinion.

Only Fang Yun in the entire Dream World possesses the ability to instantly assess the true value of high-end weaponry.

Now, an unknown kid has publicly demonstrated the same ability.

This made him highly doubtful that the mantis shrimp could have such strength.

It must have been Fang Yun's exclusive guidance!
"If I told you this was the first time we'd met in person, would you believe me?"

Pineapple looked at him with a resentful expression, like a little grumbling woman.

Fang Yun was so disgusted by this guy that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, "I'll say it again, this is Brother Xia's profession, especially in arms valuation. He doesn't need my guidance at all; he's an expert himself!"

"No, no! I just said it offhand, and it just happened to be a lucky guess!"

Seeing Fang Yun praising him so highly, Pipi Shrimp felt not only no joy, but also some fear and unease.

He knows his own limitations all too well.

without any exaggeration.

From the time he entered the Cloud Club until now.

Although I didn't finish exploring the club, I didn't get to know all the people there.

But it's just Pineapple and Ah Bai, two big names in the Fantasy Westward Journey world.

That was enough to make him feel immense pressure.

To be praised so highly by Fang Yun in front of such a group of seniors and big shots.

Normally, he would be excited and that would be fine, but now he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was sweating profusely.

"In our club, everyone has a special skill. If you really want to join, what you need to do is not to be humble, but to make the most of what you are good at, understand?"

The mantis shrimp was so nervous it was almost sweating.

Fang Yun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"Ming...I understand, Brother Cheng!"

Although Fang Yun said 'if'.

But for the mantis shrimp who was obsessed with joining the club, this was like the strongest stimulant!

He heard it.

Fang Yun genuinely intended to recruit him.

But at the same time.

The other party's meaning was also very clear: Cloud Club is not a place that values ​​humility and modesty.

Do what you are capable of, and do it as well as you can.

Besides that, nobody cares whether you're low-key or not; you can be yourself to your heart's content!

"Alright, the next round of auction has begun. Let's continue watching."

He waved to signal the end of this interlude.

Fang Yun leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and continued watching the auction livestream.

at the same time.

Amidst a barrage of urging comments from the viewers.

Then, meditation finally unveiled the mystery of the second item up for auction.

[A sense of righteousness and exhilaration]

Holding onto this principle is like climbing a high mountain and gazing into the distance; the whole world is before your eyes. Unmoved by external gains or losses, your heart is at peace, forgetting both honor and disgrace. You feel the vast and unyielding spirit, cultivated through uprightness without harm, filling heaven and earth. Is this not delightful!

The full attributes of Magic Night Emperor's main weapon were displayed on the screen.

The live stream chat, which was buzzing with excitement just a second ago, suddenly fell silent for a second again.

"???"

"No... Holy crap?!"

"15-forged Sunstone, 737 damage?! You're telling me this is a Heavenly Palace weapon?!"

"15 Sunstones are equivalent to 120 damage. If we subtract that, then the initial damage of this fan is... 617?!"

"Damn, that's ruthless!"

"The maximum damage of a level 150 weapon (non-dedicated) is only 627, right? This weapon is more than enough for physical attackers!"

"It's definitely enough for a regular physics-based character, but it's not good enough for a top-tier physics-based character. After all, although the initial damage of this fan is explosive, its accuracy is too low, and the dual stats aren't right either..."

"Couldn't you guys please focus on the important points? Isn't the important point that this fan, while dealing initial damage and exploding, also comes with a double bonus of 32 Constitution and 34 Mana, as well as the Stasis skill?!"

"Speechless. This fan is absolutely a magic-based artifact. No wonder Night Emperor's damage is so explosive. This weapon alone is not something that ordinary magic-based characters in the top-tier PvP can afford..."

"Don't be so ordinary, we can't afford to use Class Two either!"

"Stop standing there, bosses, hurry up and give us your quotes!"

"Huh? Speaking of that belt, Meditation only said it was sold, but he didn't mention the exact price?"

"Forget about it. This is a classic battle of the gods. We commoners can just watch the show. Want to know the final price? Forget about it!"

Everyone knows that Magic Night Emperor's Demon Palace is extremely violent.

And as his main belt and weapons were gradually revealed.

Then everyone suddenly realized—

With such amazing hardware as support, it would be unreasonable for him not to resort to violence!
at the same time.

Just as the comments section was filled with speculation about the value of the fan.

The people surrounding the pineapple turned their heads to look at the mantis shrimp in perfect unison.

"Wait... why is everyone staring at me like that?"

He was being stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes.

The mantis shrimp felt a chill run down its spine, swallowed hard, and asked awkwardly.

"What else can we do? Everyone's waiting for your quote!"

Seeing that the guy seemed a bit frightened by the scene before him, Fang Yun shook his head and offered a reminder. (End of Chapter)
