Chapter 3 My Game CP is a Little Rich Woman?
"Not just those. I also want to get a complete Archmage set, preferably +10 or higher. Didn't I see a +12 Archmage weapon on the forum that's been reduced to 300,000? Ask about it for me and buy it directly if you can." Lin Chen listed some of his requests.
Zhang Chunlin was naturally more professional at procuring equipment.
Besides, he was Lin Chen's classmate.
Lin Chen knew what kind of person Zhang Chunlin was.
The fact that he had built such a large presence in the game within two or three years meant his reputation was beyond reproach.
For merchants in the game, reputation was everything.
Zhang Chunlin was a person who valued his reputation above all else.
"Good heavens, you're planning to go all in!" Zhang Chunlin exclaimed, then said, "Alright, log in. I'll send you gold coins and pet eggs first... You want all rare-grade pet eggs and above, right?"
"Yeah! Send me the gold coins first, I need to open up my storage... Also, from now on, I want all the equipment enhancement stones, as many as you can get, all at market price." Lin Chen was being remarkably generous.
The price of gold coins had now fallen to about 20,000 per 100 million.
Ten billion was only 200,000 yuan.
Rare pet eggs were randomly obtained, but they could also be synthesized. A rare quality pet egg originally cost at least 10,000 yuan, but now you could get one for 100 yuan.
As a merchant, Zhang Chunlin must have a lot of stock.
At least a thousand of them.
That would be another hundred thousand or so.
Then there were the enhancement stones, and the three pieces of Archmage equipment...
【Archmage's Hurricane Pendant +10】
【Level: 100】
【Attributes: Spirit +750 (750)】
【Trait: Heart of the Archmage, Effect: Increases mana limit by 20%, restores 2% mana per second】
【Special Skill: Strengthens Wind Blade skill. At max level, Wind Blade adds frost effect, reducing target's movement speed by 50% and magic defense by 15%.】
……
【Archmage's Hurricane Boots +10】
【Level: 100】
【Attributes: Spirit +500 (500), Agility +250 (250)】
【Trait: Surge, Effect: Any spell that hits a target will gain a brief displacement effect for one second. The direction of displacement can be controlled at will!】
【Special Skill: Instant Teleport, Effect: After active use, can instantly appear at any location within thirty yards. Cooldown time: five minutes!】
……
【Archmage's Hurricane Armor +10】
【Level: 100】
【Attributes: Spirit +500 (500), Constitution +250 (250)】
【Trait: Divine Protection, Effect: When suffering fatal damage, the armor will erupt with energy to bear the attack instead, and then immediately refresh the cooldown time of all skills and items. After triggered, the armor will be broken (durability returns to zero, attributes are invalid, can be repaired).】
【Special Skill: Archmage Shield, Effect: When activated, gain a shield with 30% of health. Cooldown time: five minutes!】
Zhang Chunlin had goods on hand.
In the game "New World," without a level cap, one hundred was already the maximum level.
This set of equipment was also known as the strongest equipment for wind-based mages.
Of course, Lin Chen knew that "New World" would soon release its final expansion pack.
Then, there would be a new map.
In addition, the level cap would be raised to 120.
But that didn't stop Lin Chen from first getting the complete Hurricane Archmage set.
After all, if his own strength wasn't strong enough, even with the new expansion, he wouldn't be able to beat the challenges.
Three pieces of the Archmage Hurricane set were very expensive.
The difference between them and the weapon in the forum was only in the enhancement level.
They were two levels lower.
Much cheaper.
After all, enhancing to +10 or higher required many special materials.
So here, Zhang Chunlin's quote was 200,000 per piece.
Lin Chen took them all, plus the enhancement stones and other materials, totaling more than 800,000. Adding the fashion items, pet eggs, and ten billion gold coins, it came to almost 1.2 million!
Lin Chen paid promptly.
You had to know that so many items would have been worth at least two or three hundred million before the server shutdown announcement!
At this time, Liu Mengyao logged in.
【Meng Li Yao Guang: Lin Chen, I'm sorry, I overslept...】
【Lin Zhong Chen Xi: I just logged in too.】
【Meng Li Yao Guang: Oh.】
Seeing Liu Mengyao's reply, she seemed a little unhappy.
【Lin Zhong Chen Xi: What's wrong?】
【Meng Li Yao Guang: Do you think this game is completely meaningless now? If it were before, you wouldn't have logged in so late.】
So that was it.
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
He was about to reply when Liu Mengyao's message came again.
【Meng Li Yao Guang: If you really don't want to play anymore, tell me, I won't force you... If you want to play other games, I'll go with you!】
They had been together for two years.
Although it had only been online.
But Lin Chen always felt that Liu Mengyao seemed to be familiar with everything about him.
They were considered confidants.
Lin Chen was also familiar with many of Liu Mengyao's habits.
Lin Chen didn't explain Liu Mengyao's misunderstanding.
【Lin Zhong Chen Xi: Join the party, come to the warehouse.】
【Meng Li Yao Guang: Okay!】
Soon, Liu Mengyao joined the party and came to the warehouse.
Lin Chen first turned on equipment sharing, so Liu Mengyao could see it, and then gave Liu Mengyao permission to see his warehouse.
The two also opened voice chat.
"Wow, so many pet eggs, and you even have an Archmage set?" Liu Mengyao was very surprised.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "I logged in late today because I was getting these things... Isn't everything falling in price now? Things you couldn't buy before, you can buy now. I said I would play with you until the last second. Since we're going to play, let's play well! Once I've collected all our equipment and we have the strength, I'll go to the Twin Heart Lake dungeon with you, and go to the Heavenly Palace map together..."
"The monsters on the Heavenly Palace map are too powerful, we... You just said, you helped me buy equipment too?" Liu Mengyao said in shock, "It wouldn't be the Moon God set, would it?"
The level 100 Priest's top-tier set, the Moon God set!
Even now, it wouldn't be any cheaper than the Archmage Hurricane set.
It would cost more than a million.
This was still the price after the big price drop... You could imagine how much it would have cost before, at least hundreds of millions.
With over a billion players worldwide all obsessed with the game, there were many rich tycoons, and even many consortiums had invested in it, so the prices were so high before.
But now, everything was at a bargain price!
"Yes, I've already had someone help us buy it." Lin Chen said with a smile, "Let's not do anything else now, let's just focus on synthesizing these pet eggs. We should be able to synthesize two mythical-level eggs."
"Where did you get so much money? You wouldn't be..." Liu Mengyao was not in a hurry to take advantage of Lin Chen. Her voice seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly became a little more moved. Then she said, "No, this is my dream. I can't let you spend all the money alone. I still have some pocket money, I'll give it all to you!"
What she was thinking was that she wanted to play until the game shut down, which was her own idea. Now that Lin Chen was putting in so much effort, it was all to fulfill her dream, so she had to do her part.
"No need." Lin Chen refused.
What he was thinking was that he needed a helper, and he got along well with Liu Mengyao. The main thing was that Liu Mengyao had now become a shield for his crazy acquisition of game equipment and items.
So, helping Liu Mengyao get a set of equipment was nothing.
The only bad thing was that the money was being spent too quickly.
Three million from selling the house, plus the money borrowed on his phone, plus Hu Ge's money, totaled six million.
Now there were only 4.8 million left.
When Zhang Chunlin collected both sets of equipment, it would probably cost another two million.
But there were so many other things to buy.
Leaving aside everything else.
Lin Chen had seen what people were like after the game invaded reality.
At that time, even some of the main cities in the game had completely descended upon Blue Star.
That's why Lin Chen wanted so many gold coins...
He even wanted more!
Lin Chen wanted to buy a city directly, to see if that city would belong to him after the game invaded reality!
So Lin Chen was actually still very short of money.
However, no matter how short of money he was, he couldn't ask for Liu Mengyao's pocket money.
How much could she have?
Seeing Lin Chen's refusal, Liu Mengyao said, "Take it. Although it's not much, it can at least buy a relic. I mean... a relic from before."
Relics!
What were relics?
Like the Hurricane Pendant in the Archmage Hurricane set, that was a relic.
The current price was 200,000.
But what Liu Mengyao was talking about was before the price crash...
Lin Chen was surprised and said after a long time, "So you're so rich. A relic from before would cost at least six million, right? You have that much in pocket money?"
"I saved all my New Year's money from childhood, and the unused pocket money!" Liu Mengyao smiled.
"Wow, I just found out, you're a sugar mommy..."
Lin Chen was indeed shocked.
Six million in pocket money?
What kind of family was that!
However, Lin Chen also remembered that before his rebirth, when the game invaded reality, Liu Mengyao was anxious to save him and even made a phone call, as if she was being entangled by a level 90 Boss...
A priest fighting a level 90 Boss alone meant that Liu Mengyao's equipment was very strong!
In other words, the previous Lin Chen, after selling his account, Liu Mengyao, who wanted to continue playing, later spent a lot of money to buy equipment... It was as if what Lin Chen was belatedly doing now, Liu Mengyao would have done anyway.
Then Lin Chen had no psychological pressure at all!
"I've already transferred the money to your card, the one you gave the card number to last time... In the future, I will pay half of the money you spend in the game. If it's not enough, you must tell me, do you hear?" Liu Mengyao put her hands on her hips, seemingly a little angry.
But the next moment, Lin Chen directly sent an invitation to hug.
"What are you doing?" Liu Mengyao said, but immediately accepted the invitation.
At this moment, Lin Chen felt very warm.
And... comfortable!
With Liu Mengyao's money, Lin Chen wouldn't have to worry about funds anymore.
