Aside from food, the market is undoubtedly most lacking in equipment.
The shortage of equipment is something Lin Rui deeply and directly feels.
Having fought off so many monsters, cleared numerous monster camps, and opened so many treasure chests, Lin Rui, with his Luck Value, only procured four pieces of equipment. Among them was an enhanced-level green piece and a rare-level red piece, and he’s not able to wear the latter yet.
As for his knights, they only have two pieces of equipment and are missing various components.
Lin Rui opened the search interface, searching for Caster equipment.
In the vast trading market, there were just two and a half sparse pages.
Ninety percent of them were ordinary-level white equipment. The only reason these haven’t been sold is the exorbitantly high prices.
A pair of gloves that only adds 10 Spiritual Energy Value is priced at 2999 Realm Coins! Is the seller planning to buy a seaside mansion with this?
There are a few enhanced-level equipment pieces priced at five, six thousand, but the cost-effectiveness of these is such that only a wealthy spendthrift like Lin Rui would rarely consider buying them.
Lin Rui doesn’t care about money, be it much or little, but these pieces all enhance Wisdom, without the Attributes for Will. These Explorers dreaming of overnight wealth can’t make money off of him.
But what’s really eye-catching to Lin Rui is, at the top of all Caster equipment, there is a brilliant, eye-catching equipment—a rare-level ring!
Even the wealthy Young Master Lin only has 8 Gems, making it impossible for anyone to come up with 999 Gems.
But since the other party is willing to sell this piece, it’s likely that they’re not a Caster themselves. Because for the Girl in the Lake’s kidney treasure, no amount of money would make Lin Rui sell it. With this rare-level equipment, a Caster can instantly transform into an inexhaustible Magic Cannon Platform on the battlefield.
Lin Rui initiated contact with this Explorer named Monroe to ask if they could trade items, or use Realm Coin, resource transactions.
But the message went unanswered, seemingly ignored amidst the numerous disturbances Monroe was facing.
After waiting a moment and still receiving no response, Lin Rui closed the communication window directly. Even the Goddess of Fortune isn’t this haughty with him!
It’s just equipment, right?
I have them too; you sell, I sell.
Lin Rui immediately opened the sales window.
[Ding, before selling items, Explorers must first create their own shop. In the Primary Trading Market, you can establish up to two shops, with the second shop costing 2000 Realm Coins, 2000 wood, and 2000 mineral stones.]
Actually, even the first shop isn’t free, consuming over 500 various resources to build the market. Lin Rui opted to set up the first free shop first.
[Ding, Explorer successfully established a shop, please name your shop.]
"Krypton Gold Makes You Stronger!" Lin Rui immediately typed.
[The name Krypton Gold Makes You Stronger is already taken, would you like to add a suffix?]
"Okay." The name is just a code; what matters is the stuff being sold. As long as it’s invaluable, those blockhead Lords who seek strength will always remember it even if the shop is named "Zha Huan Lang Sa Li Zhang."
The shop was finally successfully created. As usual, the system was frugal, with an initial showcase limit of only one hundred slots, meaning that no matter how many specialty items he had within his territory, only a hundred items could be displayed.
Lin Rui first put up an ordinary beastman battleaxe.
Despite its frugality, the system’s functionality is genuinely comprehensive, instantly displaying various information boxes.
[Ordinary-level Weapon · Beastman Battleaxe, in stock 28, suggested selling price 50 Realm Coins, last transaction price 169 Realm Coins.]
Then sell it for 160, it’s just an ordinary-level weapon. After clearing so many wild monsters, although there aren’t many powerful equipment, there are plenty of these ordinary-level weapons, occupying space in his bag for nothing.
Lin Rui had just finished setting the price when the system immediately chimed in.
[Ding, the shop ’Krypton Gold Makes You Stronger 5128 · Golden Pansy’ has sold an item, gaining 160 Realm Coins. Explorer holds an Azure Hero Medal, thus reducing the transaction tax rate by 10%.]
Lin Rui’s eyes widened as he looked at the Azure Hero Medal quietly resting in his backpack. No wonder the introduction said: "Before you ascend to a Divine Position, you can feel the strength of this medal."
This was just the sale of one ordinary-level weapon, and it already saved him 16 Realm Coins! Selling enhanced-level, fine-level equipment afterward will save him thousands of Realm Coins.
With a chance to earn, Lin Rui enthusiastically put up all ordinary-level equipment.
[Ding, the shop ’Krypton Gold Makes You Stronger 5128 · Golden Pansy’ has sold an item, gaining 160 Realm Coins]
[Ding, the shop ’Krypton Gold Makes You Stronger 5128 · Golden Pansy’ has sold an item, gaining 160 Realm Coins]
The system’s notification sound blended into a continuous stream; Lin Rui had just filled the showcase with equipment, and the next second, all items in each display window were sold out. Not to mention the hundred showcase slots, Lin Rui never even filled the first two rows of forty slots.
After Lin Rui finished listing all ordinary-level items, he took a few seconds to catch his breath just as the last ordinary-level armor, the ragged beastman chest armor, was sold as well.
The shop page became spotless once again, completely empty.
Only at the bottom right corner, it showed that the current shop had 2458 followers.
A few seconds later, Lin Rui’s private message inbox was in an uproar: "Master, please continue to list equipment, we’re waiting for urgent supply from the realm!"
"Please, Master, keep listing equipment. Damn, recruited the cannon fodder-level troops to gather farmers, only giving them dung forks, without even an armor. Totally can’t defeat the wild monsters outside, can only farm little fishmen to level up. Even the little fishmen are nauseating now."
