“Is this the Nieyan you mentioned? He looks a bit frail and isn’t as handsome as Xiao Rui. I wonder how strong he really is.” Feiyun glanced at Nieyan with a slightly sarcastic tone.
Nieyan frowned slightly at this rather impolite woman named Feiyun.
“Feiyun!” Yue’er stopped Feiyun, then apologized to Nieyan with a smile, “Don’t take it seriously. She’s actually a nice person.”
Nieyan smiled at Yue’er and nodded. Although he felt a bit angry inside, it wasn’t worth getting upset over a woman like her.
“Nieyan, I’m sorry. We’re classmates, so we couldn’t refuse when Feiyun wanted to come. I don’t really like her either. I’m close friends with Yue’er, who is always too kind. If it were me, I would’ve sent Feiyun away long ago.” Youyou said angrily through the voice chat.
“Hehe, the best way to deal with people like her is to ignore them.” Nieyan replied through the voice chat.
Ignoring the woman named Feiyun, Nieyan said to Youyou and Yue’er, “I need to sell some stuff first. Let’s chat later.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Yue’er smiled warmly, her gentle expression as comforting as a warm spring breeze.
Nieyan sat down. The woman named Feiyun was furious that Nieyan completely ignored her.
The four of them sat down together. Yue’er and Youyou chatted and giggled softly while Feiyun occasionally interjected a few words, obviously trying to flatter them. In front of Yue’er and Youyou, she had become completely insignificant.
“Actually, Nieyan is a very skilled player.” Youyou said, nudging Nieyan, “Right, Nieyan?”
“Really?” Yue’er said doubtfully, as Nieyan didn’t look like much.
Nieyan modestly smiled and said, “So-so.”
“Is he as strong as Xiao Rui? Don’t try to pretend to be something you’re not. Xiao Rui has always liked Youyou. You’re nowhere near good enough to pursue her.” Feiyun glanced at Nieyan and sarcastically remarked without holding back.
Nieyan ignored this boring woman and took out three Flashing Dusts, two Web Spell Scrolls, and two Polymorph Spell Scrolls from his backpack and placed them in the auction house.
Each Flashing Dust started at one silver coin, while each Web Spell or Polymorph Scroll started at four silver coins. These few items wouldn’t have much impact on the market. Nieyan thought to himself that if he could sell them at a higher price, the profits would be substantial. Even if they sold slowly, he could still earn a lot without flooding the market with these items.
Seeing that Nieyan ignored her, Feiyun felt humiliated and turned her head away.
Nieyan put these items up for sale to test the market reaction. Not many players could afford such expensive consumables, only some wealthy players, and the key was whether they were willing to spend the money.
It wasn’t long after he listed them that someone started bidding. All three items were in high demand. After all, there were very few mage players who could write scrolls at present, as most mage players didn’t learn the scroll-making skill. Magic scrolls were mostly sold in NPC shops but were usually expensive. Useful control spells like Web Spell and Polymorph were extremely rare. These were practically the ultimate weapons for PKing and were very useful. Wealthy players didn’t mind spending a few coins on them. Moreover, these scrolls could be used for self-defense in dangerous situations, making their prices climb steadily.
Each Flashing Dust was auctioned for around two silver coins, while each Web Spell and Polymorph Scroll reached around five silver coins. In the early stages of the game, these were already impressive prices. Nieyan made a considerable profit. Indeed, game information was equivalent to in-game gold coins.
The items Nieyan released caused quite a stir in the auction house. Many players were secretly inquiring who could possibly write scrolls like Web Spell and Polymorph, and there were also many inquiries about Flashing Dust.
Nieyan continued to empty his backpack of Flashing Dusts, Web Spell Scrolls, and Polymorph Scrolls. After all, more money was always better.
“Youyou, look at this Erosion Fire Staff that Xiao Rui gave me. It’s a silver-level item with +6 intelligence and +7 magic damage. What do you think?” Feiyun showed off a staff with a bit of pride.
At the current level, a silver-level staff was already an extraordinary item, especially one that increased intelligence and magic damage.
“My staff is also silver-level, but its attributes aren’t as good as yours.” Youyou honestly replied without showing much envy.
“Actually, if you asked Xiao Rui for one, he would definitely get you a better staff. He’s been secretly in love with you for so long. Why aren’t you interested in him?” Feiyun looked at Youyou.
Nieyan figured it out—Feiyun was here to play matchmaker.
Although Nieyan cared most about Xie Yao in his heart, he had once shared a relationship with Youyou that wasn’t deeply passionate but still memorable. It was one thing for Feiyun to badmouth him, but it was quite another for her to keep trying to set Youyou up with boyfriends. Even a clay Buddha had some temper!
Seeing the annoyed expression on Youyou’s face, Nieyan understood.
“Youyou, I have an extra staff. Since I have no use for it, I’ll just give it to you.” Nieyan interrupted Feiyun, who was about to speak again.
“Hey, don’t you know it’s very impolite to interrupt others? Just keep your trash to yourself instead of making a fool of yourself.” Feiyun sneered.
“Do you know it’s also very impolite to keep talking when others don’t want to listen?” Nieyan retorted sharply.
“You…”
“What staff is it? Let me see.” Youyou intentionally ignored Feiyun.
Nieyan traded the Moonlight Ceremony Staff to Youyou and said, “It’s a gift for you. Please accept it.”
“Wow, a golden-level staff!” Youyou exclaimed. She knew very well how valuable a golden-level staff was at this point.
“Youyou, let me see. What golden-level staff is it?” Yue’er asked in confusion.
Youyou shared the attributes of the Moonlight Ceremony Staff with Yue’er and Feiyun. Yue’er looked at Nieyan in surprise, never expecting him to casually give away a golden-level item. Feiyun’s face turned green. If the Moonlight Ceremony Staff was considered trash, then what was hers?
“Nieyan, I’m angry. What do you mean by saying ‘since you have no use for it anyway, just give it to me’? It sounds like you’re casually throwing it at me. But I really like this gift of yours.” Youyou smiled slightly and privately messaged Nieyan, “To get rid of that annoying woman, I’ll accept your gift, but can I pay in installments?”
“No need. It’s just a golden staff.” To Nieyan, a golden staff was nothing, especially compared to his feelings for Youyou.
“Nieyan, are you really that rich? This is a golden-level staff! How can I not pay for it!” Youyou privately chatted with him.
Nieyan smiled, knowing Youyou’s stubborn personality, and said, “You can pay in installments. Just give me one silver coin each month until you’ve paid it off.”
“Alright, it’s settled then. Only a fool would be polite with such a rich guy like you.” Youyou made a face and smiled playfully.
