Chapter 801: Before Leaving Beijing

“Hahahaha! Not only did they lose a group of Dragon Sect elites, they even lost more than three hundred elites! You even managed extort thirteen Illusion Life and Death Pills from them! Haha! Dream Clouds’ expression when he gave you those Illusion Life and Death Realm must have been a sight to see. It’s a pity I wasn’t in Beijing at that time, or else I will definitely film what happened at that time.”

Once Little North learned of all that happened during the day from Happy, he seemed to have gotten rid of his resentment, and when he walked, there was a little spring in his footsteps, which made him seem as if he was walking very briskly.

“Thirteen Illusion Life and Death Pills might be nothing to Class One Hall, but losing them at this time will definitely make them feel as if you cut off a piece from their hearts.” Momo also chuckled softly, which was something rare of her to do.

“By the way, how are they going to deal with the group from Dragon Sect?”

“I don’t know the details yet, but Dream Clouds will definitely not dare to have them remain in Class One Hall.” Happy walked ahead of the others while he answered. He will also occasionally scan through the treasures placed on the stalls by his side.

“This time, Dragon Sect’s entire group died in Happy’s hands, and we can be considered to have a thorn in our flesh gone. At the very least, we don’t need to worry about Dragon Sect going deep into Mu Clan’s territory and causing trouble during this period of time.”

Silver Wolf and Little North nodded slightly.

“There’s Wandering Know-it-all keeping an eye on them as well, so Teacher and his group will probably not dare to log in over the next few days.”

“What we need to do right now is to prepare for war.”

“Big Brother Thunder should reach Beijing soon, and he brought quite a lot of our elites with him. There’s Phoenix Dances, One Circle, Rampaging Dragon, and your classmates are all going to meet up with us before dawn. Also, Lin Xiao, Wind Void, and Red Dust have already reached Beijing. If we work together with them and the people from Wind Assault Tower, I reckon even Class One Hall will be protecting their headquarters carefully.”

Happy said nothing. He ignored Little North’s suggestive words. The experiences from his previous life allowed him to know that even if many top-class elites gathered in Beijing, they still might not be able to take down Class One Hall’s headquarters.

Forget about the fact that they will need one full day and night to destroy the headquarters’ foundation, even the tens of thousands of Class One Hall elites in Beijing were not that easy to deal with.

Class One Hall elites were all first-class elites in the game, and they were unlike Towering Palace, who had players of all standards mixed among them. Their scores of archers was already enough to make a large batch of their attackers die. Aside from Happy, there were only a few who can withstand Class One Hall’s onslaught and charge into their headquarters.

“What’s the price for this item?” He stopped moving, and Happy stopped in front of a shabby looking stall.

The owner of the stall was a young man of around twenty-five to twenty-six. He wore normal grade one masterpieces that were not refined and were not a set. He looked like a very normal player, and he did not even have a sect emblem on his chest. His eyes were lifeless, but he will occasionally look at the moving crowd in the market with hopeful eyes.

Silver Wolf and Little North took the opportunity to cast a glance at the items in the stall. They quirked their eyebrows. Even though they said nothing, the expressions they showed already showed a certain degree of scorn. There was only a sorry number of items in the stall—three of them. One of them was a worn down manual that did not seem to be well kept, and written on it was Fire Dragon Engraving Claw. It seemed like an atypical martial art created by a deviant sect. At the center was a normal gray porcelain bottle. There was also a key that was covered in rust.

Whoosh!

Little North, Silver Wolf, Knife, and the rest cast their gazes on Happy’s face. They seemed to be unable to understand why Happy will stop and seem to be interested in these low quality items.

Even though Fire Dragon Engraving Claw sounded like a domineering technique, judging by how worn down it looked, it seemed like it was not one of those normal manuals that had been produced thousands of times.

Even though there was no name attached to the gray porcelain bottle to indicate what sort of pills were inside, causing it to look rather mysterious, and even though the rusted key might seem as if it contained an age-old story, there were far too many people who liked to make their own items appear mysterious in China and sell them off for a high price so that a group of online shoppers who think that they know a lot will come and think that they obtained a treasure after they observed their items with a “discerning” eye.

However, Little North, Knife, and the rest will naturally not say anything in front of Happy.

Each minute of Happy’s income was much higher than the items sold at the stall (they were set at a few hundred thousand taels of silver), and they truly will not be bothered by his actions.

Happy did not pay attention to the surprised and scrutinizing gazes from his party. He slowly bent down and picked up the bottle from the stall under the stall owner’s gradually brightening eyes. Then, he brought it to his nose to take a sniff.

A pungent smell came wafting into his nose.

Even though the smell was very pungent and made Happy scowl, he was now certain that this item was indeed what he guessed it was.

“What’s this item called? And what is its use?”

When Happy picked up the gray porcelain bottle to observe it, the stall owner quickly sized up the group of people behind Happy. He noticed the outstanding presence in Silver Wolf, Little North, and the rest, and he gained a vague understanding of Happy’s identity and status. After he heard Happy’s words, he had a slightly awkward expression appear on his face.

“I don’t know its specific use, and you can’t pour out the items in the bottle either. Its name is just Gray Porcelain Bottle, and it seems ot be a quest item. I’ve been trying to figure it out for a long time, but I can’t seem to get a clear idea on what it is.”

“Gray Porcelain Bottle, attributes unknown, has a pungent smell. That’s why you set the price at five hundred thousand taels of silver, and it can’t be considered high.” Happy said nothing else and paid for it before he put the porcelain bottle into his Universe Bag.

Others might not know it, but Happy knew that this item was not a quest item, and neither was it a demon vessel or a unique medicinal pill.

On the contrary, it was only a normal medicinal concoction made by a normal martial artist, and it was used to chase away poisonous creatures.

Even though Gray Porcelain Bottle looked very normal, if he carried it around with him, normal poisonous creatures will not dare get close to him, and it will be able to repel miasma and poisonous smoke to a certain degree. It was a very rare item, but due to its continuous effect and how unique it was, only those who were meticulous will notice it.

Happy also only got to know about this item from his previous life, and he knew just how rare this item was. But it will already be able to produce an effect if he just placed the item in his Universe Bag, which was why he had paid extra attention to this item.

Even though Happy did not need to worry about poisonous items with his current strength, he had still managed to earn big by buying one of these items with just five hundred thousand taels of silver.

The young stall owner was excited but also found it a little pitiful that he finally managed to sell his first item.

It seemed like he found it slightly regretful that since this mysterious porcelain bottle had managed to catch the eye of this sort of elite, it definitely had an unimaginable use and was definitely worth even more than what he sold it for.

“Big brother, take a look at these two other items. They’re also pretty good. I only got this manual after a lot of effort from—Ah, you find this key valuable, do you? Let me tell you, I found this key from Stone Coffin Cave, but it’s very dangerous inside. If you want it, you can get it for just one million taels of silver. I’ll even tell you the address—”

Happy remained silent. He did not even spare the other items a glance, but just straightened his back and left.

The other items were not very valuable. As for Stone Coffin Cave, perhaps Little North will be able to have a decent development over there, because that place was a training spot for Corpse Sect elites who were at the rank of elders. If Little North went there to train, he will definitely benefit from it, but he should not go there for the time being, because the drop rate for this key was rather high, and Happy believed that the young man actually had quite a lot of them in hand.

“The items in this stall is pretty good. Folding Bow and Armor Breaking Recondite Steel Arrows? They’ll be useful at the borders…

“They actually sell medicinal pills that increase attributes? Who’s so stupid as to only sell them for two million taels of silver?”

Once he bought his first item, Happy seemed to have fallen to his desire to shop. Through the entire night, he spent more than one hundred million taels of silver, allowing Silver Wolf and the rest to learn just what it meant by a man can also be as much of a shopaholic as a woman if he wanted to.
