Chapter 230 A Crazy Night
The night market in Silvervale City was organized to allow players to trade freely.
Due to the continuous promotion by the Darkstar Guild in Silvervale City, today's market was extremely lively.
Many guilds had prepared a lot to purchase high-level Whetstone of Precision.
Players were setting up stalls all over the large square.
Since the auction house charged a significant fee, many players waited until today to sell the materials they had been accumulating.
Among the many stalls, the one set up by the Darkstar Guild became the most eye-catching, with hundreds of people lining up. RogueVortex was overjoyed at the sight.
After tonight, their Darkstar Guild would become the wealthiest guild in Silvervale City, and it wouldn't be long before they surpassed StellarTrails Emporium and controlled the economic lifeline of Silvervale City.
By then, even Devouring Serpents wouldn't be a match for their Darkstar Guild in Silvervale City.
Half an hour after the market opened, something strange happened. This left many guilds in a daze, even RogueVortex was dumbfounded.
"What the hell is going on?" RogueVortex shouted, pointing at the now-empty market.
"RogueVortex, I secretly checked it out just now. StellarTrails Emporium also lowered their prices. Besides matching our prices, they also introduced a new product, said to be made by Black Flame: the beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients. Binding this Armor Scales of the Ancients to equipment can significantly enhance attributes and defense. If one bind three pieces, it's equivalent to having an extra piece of top-quality Dark Iron chest armor. However, StellarTrails Emporium limits the purchase to 50 pieces per day, so everyone went to line up there."
"Black Flame? Isn't that the chief Blacksmith of Eldoria? How did he get involved with StellarTrails Emporium?" RogueVortex frowned.
He had heard of Black Flame, but the figure was extremely mysterious. No one knew which faction he belonged to, only that the force behind Black Flame was also a deeply hidden and powerful one.
"Is being a chief Blacksmith that impressive?" RogueVortex sneered, "If Black Flame can make such good beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients, then we can make them too. Go check the beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients and find out where the design drops. I should thank Black Flame for giving us another way to make money."
"Yes! I'll check it right away."
Meanwhile, at StellarTrails Emporium, it was already a sea of faces, with the line extending outside the emporium.
"Cheap sturdy stones for sale, come trade if you want them."
"Level 10 Bronze battle axe, selling for 30 silver coins."
"Buying silver coins at high prices, as many as you have."
The street outside StellarTrails Emporium had gradually turned into a market.
Although players couldn't set up stalls, they could trade face-to-face. It was much more troublesome than setting up a stall, but no one cared about such a small matter. They just wanted to get more silver coins quickly to buy as many beginner-level Armor Scales of the Ancients as possible when they went on sale.
While waiting in line, many people started boasting about the effects of the beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients.
Especially the deeds of the Three-Headed Wolf Squad, which made many small teams of free players envious.
The story grew more exaggerated as it spread, saying that the Three-Headed Wolf Squad originally couldn't even clear a Common Level small dungeon. But after the MT and healer bound three pieces of beginner-level Armor Scales of the Ancients, they directly cleared a level 10 Infernal-level small dungeon, obtaining a Mithril shield and numerous Dark Iron Level outfits, instantly becoming a top-tier team, even stronger than the elite members of first-rate guilds.
This made many free players yearn for a chance to turn their fortunes around by buying the beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients.
Not only were free players extremely interested, but the major guilds were also taking action, trying to find ways to contact Black Flame. They wanted to purchase a large quantity of beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients directly from Black Flame. If each member of their elite team could bind three pieces of the beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients, their team’s equipment would significantly improve, making it possible to challenge Infernal-level twenty-person team dungeons.
Even if they couldn't clear Infernal-level dungeons, clearing Adversity-level dungeons would still be a considerable achievement, so they were determined to get the beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients.
"Isabella, is Black Flame offline?" Scarlet asked with concern.
Isabella nodded and smiled wryly. "We really underestimated Black Flame. We thought that by offering high-level Whetstone of Precision and intermediate potions, we could give him a hard time. But we didn't expect him to pull this move, catching everyone off guard."
She thought she had a good understanding of Black Flame, but he kept exceeding her expectations.
In Divine Realms: Legends, it was nighttime, but in reality, it was daytime. Eric had already logged off and was working out, completely unaware of what was happening in Silvervale City.
Since moving into his new apartment, the first thing he did every morning was drink a bottle of nutritional potion, complete twenty sets of muscle-strengthening exercises, and then go for a 6-mile run.
"The nutritional potion is indeed extraordinary. My current physical condition should be on par with the members of the school's martial arts club." Eric estimated after finishing his run.
To know his exact condition, he should test it in the gym.
After days of physical training, Eric had become much more robust, no longer as thin as before, and he exuded a sharp, energetic aura.
After that, he went to the studio as usual to check on the current state of its decoration.
Occupying an entire floor of the gaming studio was something unimaginable in the past. But with the growing influence of Divine Realms: Legends, having an entire floor, or even an entire building, was quite normal. In his previous life, ShadowForge Studios was like that, with numerous members and ten established city-states. Having such a large studio was normal.
"Eric, you're here. The studio's decoration is done. We're just waiting to set up the gaming equipment we bought. Our Aether Wing Studios will look quite impressive," Tonny said excitedly, "When those job applicants see this studio, they'll probably jump at the chance to join us."
A few days ago, Eric had suddenly found Tonny in the dorm and told him that he had bought a studio in the city center, so they wouldn't have to stay in the dorm and be disturbed anymore.
They could live in the studio and fully immerse themselves in Divine Realms: Legends.
The studio was above a high-end restaurant, and just a street away was the famous Polaris Reach Gym in Evergreen City, which was much better than the school's dormitory.
Initially, Tonny thought it was not big, but when he saw that the entire floor, he was shocked.
However, he was ecstatic afterward.
Such a large studio was much better than ShadowForge Studios, and they would surely surpass ShadowForge Studios in the future.
"By the way, Tonny, how are things going? How much longer until you guys come out?" Eric asked.
