“Leader, are you really going to sell your equipment?”

“You can’t sell it, Leader. This equipment is very important in the early stages of the game. You can use it to increase your strength. You can definitely earn more money in the future.”

​ 

“Oh, I understand now. Leader, are you short of money now? It’s okay, don’t sell your equipment. I can lend you money.”

Suddenly receiving a private message from Lorne, Super Rich immediately replied several times.

From his perspective, not long after he finished shouting, Tyrant sent him a message.

Wasn’t it obvious that he wanted to sell the equipment?

Thinking of this, Super Rich quickly advised and emphasized the importance of equipment.

Lorne shook his head and smiled.

Super Rich’s action was indeed very flashy, but he did not expect his taste to be quite good.

Although 100 million was a lot of money, a divine equipment could greatly increase the strength of a player. It could allow one to constantly have a level advantage and allow them to obtain huge benefits in the game.

It was just like the dungeon in the Beginner Village.

On that day, he relied on his strength to earn five million in a day. There was no reason to sell this equipment now.

“Don’t worry, I’m not looking for you to sell equipment.”

Lorne said, “I was just asking you how many gold coins you still have.”

“Gold coins? I spent most of them shouting just now.”

“Eh…” Lorne was speechless.

He should have known.

After all, shouting required 100 gold coins each time. Although Super Rich was rich in reality, the output of gold coins in the game was limited. It was already incredible that he could purchase 2000 gold coins.

“Leader, what do you want the gold coins for? I know a few second-hand merchants who sell gold coins. We can buy some gold coins from them at a high price.” Super Rich noticed something and asked.

Lorne thought about it and said, “I’ll buy a batch for now, wait for me at the entrance of the church. Let’s go somewhere.”

“Good!”

…

Soon, the two of them left the Church of Light.

Lorne led the confused Super Rich into the Blacksmith Guild.

Due to his high reputation in the Order faction, Lorne was treated very well. After a simple conversation, he was brought to the internal living room of the Blacksmith Guild by an NPC.

Soon, a middle-aged man with strong muscles came to the living room.

President Barres looked at Lorne and spoke in a rough tone, “Young adventurer, I heard you want to make a deal with us?”

“Of course.” Lorne nodded. “Do you have a sample?”

President Barres smiled and tossed over a crystal.

It was a transparent crystal that emitted a crystalline light. It felt warm in his hand, as if he was bathing in holy light.

Indeed!

This was the [Purification Crystal] that the Dragon of Light had mentioned.

Perhaps the Dragon God had deliberately helped Lorne, but it had not announced the news of the war ruins to the other players.

Therefore, the players did not know that the poison in the ruins of the war would severely affect their condition.

With the importance of reputation points to large guilds, they would definitely summon all players who met the requirements to enter that place. Other rogue players would also enter the ruins of the war for their own benefits.

At that time, they would all face the problem of the poison.

The Purification Crystal and the antidote were two items that could offset this effect, and they would immediately have huge market demand.

“How many of these items are in the storage?” Lorne asked.

“How many?” President Barres smiled, “There’s quite a lot in the inventory. Other than the ones for sale, the guild has about 300,000 crystals in the warehouse. These purification crystals were originally for the army to clean up the polluted forest, but because such terrain is becoming smaller, they have been in a state of low sales. If you want them, I can give you a lower price.”

“Lower by how much?”

“8 silver coins each.” President Barres said, “I was going to sell it for 10 silver coins, but I’m giving you a 20% discount.”

“What if I want them all?”

“All?” Barres could not help but stare at Lorne for a moment. Finally, he smiled and said, “If you want them all, I’ll give you a 50% discount, 5 silver coins per piece.”

Lorne extended a finger as he said, “One silver coin.”

Barres leaned forward, his eyes wide as he said, “Four.”

Lorne was not afraid, at this moment, he extended a finger, “Two.”

“I admire your courage, young man.”

Barres laughed and finally extended three fingers, “It’s the lowest price.”

“Deal.”

Lorne accepted the price, then continued, “But I want to postpone the payment.”

“You mean delayed payment?”

Barres thought he heard a new term.

Lorne explained, “9,000 gold coins is a lot. I can’t give you the whole sum for the time being, but I can sign a contract for postponement. From today onwards, if I do not pay for each postponement, I will pay you an additional 0.5% interest. How about it?”

“Your plan is very good, but, young man, how do I know if you can repay this sum in the future?”

Barres smiled knowingly, as if waiting for Lorne to explain his confidence.

Super Rich also looked at Lorne.

Although he did not know what his leader wanted to do, as a tycoon who had built a business empire, he could sense the business opportunity here.

Now that the negotiations had reached a critical juncture, what would the leader do to persuade the other party? 9,000 gold coins was not a small amount.

While the two were curious, suddenly!

A holy light suddenly blossomed.

A pair of holy wings of light appeared behind Lorne, and an extremely holy aura filled the entire hall.

“This… this is…”

Barres blinked, thinking he had seen wrongly.

What appeared in front of him was actually the strongest soldier of the Church of Light—Angel!

How was this possible?!

The weakest angel of the Church should be at the ‘Earth Realm’. How could a level 20 adventurer like him enter such a powerful army?

Lorne put away his angel wings and asked the stunned Barres, “Will this assure you?”

The latter suddenly realized something and laughed. “No problem. Since you are an adventurer valued by the Dragon God, I naturally believe in its judgment.”

After gaining trust, the rest was simple.

The two quickly signed the contract.

Then, Barres accompanied him to the warehouse to collect the goods.
