The Legend

11. More Than a Few Dollar [II]

As soon as he returned, Teagan logged on. Teagan immediately contacted Ryan, who briefly explained the situation. Teagan felt it was possible to sell to Ember Dragon; as long as he had the money, he guaranteed a high price for the sale.

The three hastened to the warehouse, where Ryan took out the skill book and magic wand for Ember Dragon to see. 

Ember Dragon was astonished and asked, "Where did you get these? These are valuable items that can be sold for a high price."

Ember Dragon was unusually excited, eager to immediately possess the Heavenly Fire Skill and the Fire Spirit Staff.

Just as Ryan was about to ask where he got the ticket, Teagan said with a wicked grin. "Hey, don't ask that. It's a secret for now. Name your price if you want it. We're not selling it to anyone else, since we're all acquaintances."

Ember Dragon was quite generous. Instead of pressing for details, he offered the highest price: "Alright, I won't haggle anymore. One price, 20,000 silver. If it's acceptable, we'll trade immediately."

Ryan and Teagan exchanged a glance, secretly delighted. 20,000 silver was not a small amount. The level 20 blue equipment would expire in a few days. The real money was in the skill books. How satisfying it would be to burn monsters with that skill! It would also deal extremely high damage in PvP.

"OK. Let's make the deal." Ryan didn't hesitate and successfully traded with Ember Dragon directly in the game using their bank accounts, earning ten thousand dollars.

The game "Hallowed Heaven" has been open for eleven days now, and the function of linking game accounts to bank accounts had just been implemented to facilitate the free trading of equipment between players.

When Ryan saw that his private stash of money had increased by 10,000 dollars, which was almost his entire year's salary, he nearly fainted.

At this moment, Ember Fox and Ember Tiger also returned. They didn't return voluntarily; they were brought back by the Holy Gods Clan clearing the area.

As soon as Ember Fox arrived, she pouted, looking unhappy. "Dragon, they had their men come back to kill us."

Ember Dragon immediately became anxious and asked, "Who killed you?"

"Those bastards from the Holy Gods' Clan. They were clearly going to the third level of the Demon Palace to level up, but they killed all of us as they passed by. And Tiger even dropped a weapon!" Ember Fox was so angry she was about to cry.

Ember Tiger remained calm, but sighed, "Well, it's all because our equipments are terrible and our main force wasn't together. Otherwise, we wouldn't be afraid of them."

Ember Dragon quickly comforted Ember Fox and Ember Tiger, "It's alright, we'll take revenge later. Look at these items I bought." As he spoke, he took out the skill book Heavenly Fire Skill and the Fire Spirit Staff to show them.

Ember Fox and Ember Tiger were also extremely surprised. Ember Fox couldn't help but ask, "Where did you buy them?"

"These two friends sold them to me." As he spoke, Ember Dragon pointed at Ryan and Teagan.

"Them?!" Ember Fox stared at Ryan and Teagan in disbelief, and after a long while, she uttered a maddening question, "Where did you two steal them from?"

Ryan and Teagan were so angry they almost fainted. Teagan said, "Beautiful sister, is there anywhere to steal this in this game? What kind of people do you even take us for?"

"Thieves, what else could you be? Otherwise, where would you two find such high weapons?" Ember Fox was deliberately trying to provoke Ryan and Teagan, mainly because she disliked Teagan. They had been at odds ever since they met last night.

"Fox, don't joke around. This is clearly something they fought for. How can you say it was stolen?" Ember Dragon said, both amused and exasperated.

“Mhm.” Ember Fox continued to annoy Ryan and Teagan, then said to Ember Dragon, “Anyway, Dragon, let me have the skill book and magic staff. I’ll give you back the money, whatever price you paid, I’ll give you ten times the amount.”

"..." Upon hearing this, Ryan and Teagan wondered if this Ember Fox was exaggerating. Ten times that would be 200,000 silver. Did this little girl really have that much money? If she did, wouldn't the Ember Dragon be rolling in money?

Ember Dragon smiled faintly and said, "Hurry up and level up to level 20, and I'll give it to you. But you have to give that magic Staff to Ember Tiger as compensation. He's out of weapons now."

Ember Tiger smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, I have spares in my warehouse."

At this moment, Ryan realized it was time to level up and didn't have time to waste with the three of them, so he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, we'll leave you guys to yourselves, we're going to find a place to level up too."

Teagan also said, "Yes, we're leaving now, see you guys later."

"Wait!" Ember Dragon quickly called out to them.

"Is there anything else?" Ryan asked.

"Where are you guys going to level up?"

"We don't know yet, we'll just keep looking."

"Come with us, let's team up and go fight high-level monsters."

Ryan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Teagan. Teagan asked, "Where are we going? Are we still spawning goblins?"

"No. We're going to farm bugs. I just found a good spot today, but it's too crowded to farm them."

"What level are they?"

"Level 20, wanna go?"

"Oh, yes." Teagan wished he could level up to level 20 immediately so he could equip the Heaven-Slaying Scepter and the Dark Night Robe.

"Wait a moment, we'll go buy some potions, and after we buy them we'll form a priest team and then we'll set off."

"Okay."

Afterwards, Ember Dragon and his entourage went to buy potions. 

Ryan and Teagan waited near the warehouse for a few minutes. 

Teagan said, "Teagan, do you believe me now? You've earned 10,000 dollars, and so easily at that."

Ryan laughed excitedly, "Yes, I didn't expect it to sell for so much money. By the way, I'll transfer 5,000 to you right now."

"Come on, I didn't bring this up because I wanted money from you. Keep it, you can share it with me when you make more money later, let's not be too anxious." Teagan really didn't need the money. His meaning was clear: he wanted Ryan to become a professional gamer, and then the two of them could work together to build a great career.
