Tianyun Lao Mao

Chapter 198 Trial of the Gods (Third Update)

Shi Feng only sold ten sets of Solid Stones, which was just a drop in the bucket compared to the demand in the entire White River City area.


Seeing how well they sold, Shi Feng put another ten sets of Solid Stones up for sale.


This time, he changed the starting price to 12 Silver Coins and the buyout price to 15 Silver Coins. Shi Feng wanted to know the maximum value of the Solid Stones and the bottom line that people could afford.


As expected, this time, people did not buy them outright but bid on them. However, the price climbed very slowly, increasing by a few coppers each time.


Until a minute later.


The price of the ten sets of Solid Stones increased, rising from 12 Silver Coins to 13 Silver Coins. It stopped at 13 Silver and 30 Copper, which was clearly the final price they could afford.


"13 Silver Coins is about saturated, but it's still beyond my expectations. I'll just slowly sell them and wait to collect money in the future." Shi Feng felt that 13 Silver was the limit, and players couldn't afford a higher price.


Moreover, he only spent more than 30 Copper Coins to buy a set of Solid Stones. Now, selling them for 13 Silver Coins means the price has increased more than thirty times. One shouldn't be too greedy, and he was already very satisfied.


Afterward, Shi Feng continued to take out Solid Stones from his backpack and started selling them off, with twenty sets per batch, selling in batches with intervals of more than ten minutes. However, considering the daily consumption and affordability of players in the entire White River City area, it was about one thousand six or seven hundred sets per day.


If he sold one thousand sets every day, he could not only let the entire White River City area digest them but also avoid causing a price rebound, making a fortune.


At a price of 13 Silver Coins per set, selling one thousand sets a day would earn him more than one hundred Gold Coins. Moreover, these were real Gold Coins, not credit points. This daily income was more than ten times higher than the daily income of those first-rate guilds. With so much capital, he didn't have to worry about the development of the guild he would establish in the future.


After setting up all the sales system, Shi Feng swiped his finger, and a semi-transparent system communication bar appeared in front of him. Then, he clicked on the communication button for his friend, Heizi.


"Heizi, have you guys finished your reputation quest? If you have, gather in front of the teleportation gate, and let's go to the dungeon," Shi Feng asked.


"We've finished our quest, but we seem to be trapped in a closed map. We have to pass the trial here to get out." Heizi was excited when he heard that they were going to the dungeon. He couldn't wait to show off his skills. Since he had Mebius's Guardian, he had been focusing on watching expert videos online and often sparring with people in the team. Now his skills had improved a lot and would definitely surprise Shi Feng, but now he couldn't get out.


"A closed map?"


Shi Feng frowned and pondered, not understanding how Heizi and the others could have entered a closed map. Logically speaking, there was no such place in that quest location.


However, after listening to Heizi's description, Shi Feng immediately understood what was happening to Heizi and the others.


He had to say that Heizi and the others were too lucky.


In God's Domain, there were various adventures. The most common was the Trial of the Gods, also known by players as the Hero's Trial, which was a test for the gods to turn mortals into heroes. As long as it was a map above level 10, there was a chance of it appearing. Occasionally, players could encounter it while grinding monsters and doing quests in the wild, but the probability was less than one in ten thousand.


It was definitely lucky that Heizi and the others encountered it.


Every Hero's Trial was a great opportunity. As long as one passed it, one could obtain generous rewards. Equipment and experience points were only the lowest-level rewards. If one could perform well in the Hero's Trial, one could obtain permanent attributes, super rare skills, or enhanced skills, generous weapon mastery, and other super rare rewards.


Weapons and equipment could only be used temporarily and could be said to be external objects, not one's own strength. However, obtaining permanent attributes and super rare skills was different. The value of these things was much better than weapons and equipment, and they were of great help for future development.


"Did you enter a trial gate with several colors?" Shi Feng asked.


Heizi didn't quite understand, but Shi Feng asked about several colors, so he thought about the color of the gate they entered and said uncertainly, "It seems to be four colors."


"Four colors? Are you guys courting death!" Shi Feng almost cursed at Heizi.


The Trial of the Gods not only had rewards but also had punishments, and the punishments were equal to the rewards.


Because God's Domain had always adhered to the principle that opportunities and dangers coexist, don't think about free lunches, even if they fall, they may kill you.


Hero's Trials were generally divided into seven levels. If the teleportation gate was one color, it was a first-order trial, which was also the easiest trial to pass. As the number of colors increased, the difficulty would also increase exponentially.


If it was a four-colored Trial Gate, it was a fourth-order trial, so the difficulty was roughly estimated to be more than eight times that of a first-order trial. If one could pass it, the minimum reward would be weapons and equipment above Fine-Gold rank, and there were generally Dark-Gold items. If the completion was good enough, it was not impossible to increase permanent attributes or strengthen one's own skills.


But...


The punishment was not a joke either. If it was not completed, the lightest punishment would be the loss of a large amount of experience points, which could cause them to drop several levels. Even Heizi and the others might permanently lose some attributes or skill proficiency, falling into a long-term state of weakness.


This was why many people would not enter the Trial Gate when they encountered it but would instead sell it to a large guild to make a fortune.


"Brother Feng, are we in danger?" Heizi saw Shi Feng's nervous look and couldn't help swallowing, his heart pounding.


When Huo Wu and the others beside Heizi heard Shi Feng say this, they also became very serious and did not dare to underestimate the trial.


"I can only give you a hint, do what you can, don't ask for merit but seek no demerit. Don't forget to convey my meaning to everyone in the team. However, Heizi, you have Mebius's Guardian, so logically speaking, the possibility of passing is very high. Remember not to rush, even if it takes a lot of time, you can't rush. After that, it depends on your combat skills and intelligence." Shi Feng told Heizi everything he knew, and it was up to Heizi and the others to see how far they could go.


The tests of the Hero's Trial had never been repeated, so there was no way to explain how to clear it.


In the previous life, gathering the wisdom of the crowd, they did get a strategy that was not a strategy, that was, to do what you can, plan before you act, and not to act urgently because you have to stay in the Hero's Trial for a long time. Besides that, there was really no strategy.


"Four-color trial, with Huo Wu and Kelai, plus Heizi's Mebius's Guardian, they should be able to pass it, but they won't be able to come out in a short time." Shi Feng had a headache. He originally wanted to go to the dungeon to improve his equipment, but now it was all in vain because of this trial. He didn't even know if Heizi and the others could come out within a week.


Because the Hero's Trial was never simple, it was very time-consuming. It was not surprising that some players spent a month to complete the trial.


A top expert once made a very fair evaluation. The difficulty of the five-color trial was comparable to an epic quest, the difficulty of the six-color trial was close to a legendary quest, and the difficulty of the seven-color trial was comparable to a top legendary quest.


In the previous life, in the ten years since God's Domain was opened, no player had passed the seven-color trial. Of course, it was not that the top experts in God's Domain could not pass it, but they just didn't encounter it.


The highest trial that could be passed in God's Domain was the six-color trial, and one of those who passed the six-color trial was the Divine Shepherd Ziyan Liuyun, one of the ten recognized Divine Shepherds in God's Domain.


Thinking of Ziyan Liuyun and Heizi being together, Shi Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ziyan Liuyun had not yet grown up, her potential was immeasurable. The four-color difficulty trial should, maybe, probably be able to pass.


"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. It seems that I can only go to improve my equipment first." Shi Feng sighed and habitually opened the auction house to search for other items.


The other items in the auction house were like Taobao. Many people sold good things but didn't know the details, and they felt that they were not worth much, so they took them out to sell. Therefore, Shi Feng often came over to scan a few times to see if there were any missing treasures.


Just as Shi Feng was flipping through the pages casually.


"Sun Flame Scripture."


Shi Feng accidentally discovered a fiery red gilded ancient book on the item interface of the auction house, which made his spirit shake, and he couldn't wait to grab it immediately.


To dare to sell even this kind of thing, it's simply stupid.


Then Shi Feng's gaze shifted to the price in the upper left corner of this ancient book.
