Chapter 55: Silver Equipment Auction

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, the two sides were still engaged in intense battle. However, after the departure of their high-ranking members, the imposing presence of the Proud World Alliance was no longer as strong as before. They were completely suppressed by the three major guilds.

At this moment, the members of the Proud World Alliance returned with gloomy faces and directly issued the order to retreat. The bosses had been snatched away, so there was no need to continue fighting. However, as they retreated, the leader of the Proud World Alliance glared at the presidents of the three major guilds and said, "You guys just wait for me. I will settle this score with you properly!" After speaking, they left with their remaining members.

The members of the three major guilds were dumbfounded. Why did they suddenly run away in the middle of the fight? The presidents of the three major guilds looked at each other, unable to understand the other party's actions.

Suddenly, a team member ran over and said, "President, the boss has been stolen!"

"What! Who took it?" exclaimed the World in Chaos.

Meanwhile, Cold Moon looked at the spot where Wu Shaochen had stood earlier, but there was no one there anymore. She understood what had happened and said to the other two, "It must have been Chen Feng who took it!"

The two also realized what had happened and quickly looked over. Sure enough, they didn't see Chen Feng anywhere. Both of them had faces as dark as charcoal. They had been fighting here, risking their lives, just to snatch the boss. But in the end, the boss was silently taken away.

"What should we do now?" despaired Starlight in the Sky.

"What else can we do? Let's go back. If the boss has been taken, why should we stay here?" angrily said the World in Chaos. They had been busy for so long, only to end up being used as pawns by someone else. It would be strange if they weren't angry.

"Silver equipment is up for auction at the auction house!" unexpectedly said Cold Moon.

"Silver equipment!!" The two quickly opened the auction house and saw that the first item up for auction was a Silver-grade [Green Scale Armor], with a bidding mode and a bidding time of 30 minutes.

"This is extravagant! They're even selling silver equipment?" exclaimed Starlight in the Sky.

"We don't need it, so why keep it? This piece of equipment is obviously dropped by the boss just now. I don't know how many pieces of silver equipment it dropped, but his equipment was already good, and now it's probably even better," sighed the World in Chaos.

"There's no need to compare ourselves to him. He's just a freak. Let's focus on developing ourselves first. The members of the Proud World Alliance won't give up on this matter, so we need to be prepared," said Starlight in the Sky.

"Yes, but the Proud World Alliance has suffered huge losses this time. They definitely won't be able to come after us in the short term. We can take this opportunity to grow," said the World in Chaos.

"Yes," nodded the two. Originally, they had nothing to do with each other, but due to the pressure from the Proud World Alliance, they had temporarily formed a strategic alliance. At this moment, the three of them were secretly plotting their own schemes while looking at the silver equipment in the auction house.

At this moment, the Proud World Alliance walking on the road was grinding their teeth as they looked at the silver equipment in the auction house. They felt it was a blatant insult, as they believed that this item originally belonged to them, yet it was now being auctioned off by someone else.

"This equipment is mine, and nobody can snatch it from me," fiercely declared the Proud World Alliance.

Wu Shaochen listed all the black iron equipment, including the Bear King Leggings he had just taken off, for 20,000 each. He put up two bronze items and one silver item in the bidding mode.

Feeling pleased, he continued walking towards the Strange Stone Forest. There were less than three hours left until midnight. He planned to grind for another two hours and then return to the city to do the God of War instance. The God of War instance could only be challenged once a day and could only be done after midnight.

The Strange Stone Forest was a forest composed entirely of stones. There were no plants here, and the stones had peculiar shapes, giving it its name. In real life, this place would definitely be developed into a scenic area.

Wu Shaochen went straight to the depths of the Strange Stone Forest and found his target for this trip, a level 22 Stone Ape. Initially, he planned to fight a level 21 Stone Monkey, but after leveling up from defeating the boss, his talent could be improved. So, he ultimately chose the level 22 Stone Ape.

The Stone Ape's attack was only 550, unable to break through Wu Shaochen's defenses. It had 55,000 health and 350 defense, which were not much of a threat. However, the main issue was that the Stone Ape had a passive skill that had a chance to petrify its target for two seconds. This was a bit troublesome as Wu Shaochen disliked being controlled. After all, he only had one skill to remove control effects, and it had a long cooldown of five minutes.

Once he selected his target, Wu Shaochen summoned his Silver Direwolf and had it gain experience from a distance. Then, he began battling the Stone Apes. There were a lot more Stone Apes compared to Jungle Tigers, but unfortunately, their skills were troublesome. Otherwise, he could have mass-grinded them. For now, he had to take it slow.

In Jinling City, countless people were drooling over the silver equipment in the auction house. The price of the Green Scale Armor skyrocketed and had already exceeded 200,000. Many wealthy players showed their determination to win it. Currently, a piece of silver equipment made a huge difference. Due to the presence of the silver equipment, there were very few bids for the two bronze items Wu Shaochen put up. They hadn't even reached 100,000 yet. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have listed them together.

It wasn't just Jinling City; even players from other main cities knew about the silver equipment auction. Unfortunately, the teleportation portals between the main cities were not yet open, so they could only envy from afar. The regional channel in Jinling City had already become lively due to this piece of equipment.

"Silver equipment, ah! It's not easy for the proud heroes to finally kill a Silver boss. How can they bear to sell the Silver equipment?"

"The person above seems to be misinformed. It wasn't the proud heroes who killed the boss, but it was Dust-sealed God. Since they don't need it, they naturally put it up for sale."

"Oh wow, I didn't know that! Dust-sealed God is amazing!"

"The attributes of the Silver equipment are really good. After seeing the Silver equipment, I can't help but feel frustrated with my plain white equipment."

In the end, the Green Scale Armor was sold for 260,000, while the two Bronze equipment pieces were sold for only 120,000 each. The 20,000 Black Iron equipment pieces were completely sold out. Wu Shaochen, who was farming Stone Apes, stopped when he received the auction notification and checked the transaction records. Seeing the addition of over 520,000, a smile appeared on his face. Making money was so easy.

Wu Shaochen continued farming until midnight. In a little over two hours, he had farmed a total of 268 Stone Apes. If it weren't for the annoying petrification skill of the Stone Apes, which often immobilized him for a while, and sometimes multiple Stone Apes petrifying him in turns, making him unable to move for a long time, he would have to double that number. With 268 Stone Apes, even with the Silver Wolf sharing experience, Wu Shaochen's level had already increased to level 18: 66,310/100,000, and the Silver Wolf was close to level 17.

Even after reaching level ten, Wu Shaochen was still leveling up quickly. This was mainly because he killed more monsters at higher levels, and his efficiency in farming was extremely high. So, for now, leveling up once every two hours was not difficult.

After checking his talents and Immortal Body, his talent points reached the limit of 540, and he added 268 points to his health with Immortal Body. With the additional 40 points from leveling up and the bonus from his title, his total health increased to 6,868 points. During this time, he also obtained two pieces of Black Iron equipment, which he sold on the auction house for 20,000 each. Currently, the price of Black Iron equipment was mostly stable between 10,000 and 20,000, with most pieces selling for just over 10,000. However, the Black Iron equipment dropped by Level 22 monsters still had better attributes compared to other Black Iron equipment on the market, so many people bought them at 20,000 each. After all, the main city had millions of people, and there was a huge demand for equipment.

"It's already midnight. Time to go back and fight in the War God's Mystery Realm," Wu Shaochen muttered to himself. He then directly used a Teleport Scroll to return to the city, without any unexpected incidents this time, and safely arrived back in Jinling City.
