Chapter 59: Tracking
Chapter 59: Tracking
To snatch up the weapons and equipment listed by Kamiyu, players went so crazy that even materials on the Black Market were instantly cleared out.
Without materials, they had to grind for them. Everyone called on friends and gathered companions, boldly venturing out of the Main City and rushing into Instance Dungeons scattered across the Crimson Earth before the Hell Tide arrived.
Some Newcomer Players lacked the strength and simply cleared wild monsters around the Main City.
Many large Guilds, Squads, and Clubs set up stalls at the very center of Main City Kaijistan, endlessly purchasing materials from Lone Wolf players and independent individuals.
These Lone Wolf players would dash back to the Main City as soon as they finished grinding materials.
Kamiyu’s listing of weapons and equipment triggered a wave of economic frenzy.
Mid- to low-tier players earned higher and more income through Mob Grinding and Dungeon Grinding. As for Kamiyu, needless to say, the system notification sounds for successful transactions kept ringing nonstop.
Because the market was far more explosive than she had imagined, she had to abandon the idea of selling in bulk and instead sold items individually.
The player Organizations that spent great effort and high Prices to purchase powerful equipment wouldn’t lose too much either.
Because they would use Kamiyu’s powerful equipment to tackle Instance Dungeons.
With better equipment, they could fight stronger Monsters, take on more challenging Instance Dungeons, and advance the game’s progress.
For these Guilds and Squads, buying Kamiyu’s equipment was like purchasing productivity tools.
By continuously grinding Instance Dungeons, they could continuously produce equipment, strengthen their Guild members, and increase their Guild’s or Squad’s influence within the game.
That’s why they were so frenzied.
Kamiyu’s move resulted in three winners and one loser.
Who lost?
Of course, the Official Players lost.
As time passed, more and more Official Players began logging into the Crimson Earth.
“Captain Xu, why aren’t we stopping them from buying this equipment? This equipment clearly belongs to our country,” said a shifty-eyed Official Player.
Xu Liwen, who hadn’t finished resting, was urgently Summoned into the Crimson Earth to cooperate with Lei Yao in tracking Kamiyu’s trail across the Crimson Earth.
Xu Liwen rolled her eyes and replied impatiently, “How do we stop them? By shouting at them?”
“After Bai Zhan died, this equipment no longer belongs to the authorities.”
“But the Officer ordered us to reclaim these national Assets.”
“Even if we reclaim them, will they reward you with a piece of equipment? They wouldn’t even spare you a bone,” Xu Liwen retorted.
The Official Player gave an awkward laugh and didn’t dare speak again.
Xu Liwen sneered inwardly, “These bootlicking scum think that just because they joined the authorities, they can strut around and bully the players, acting all high and mighty.”
“In the Real World, you’re Protected by violent Mechanisms, but here is the Crimson Earth, where the strong rule. Any random Squad player in this Main City could wipe out all of you bootlickers.”
Xu Liwen grew increasingly disgusted with the Real World. She longed more and more for the day when the Crimson Earth would invade the Real World.
With the appearance of Official Players, many Civilian Players in the Main City glared at them with hostility, showing clear expressions of disgust.
That was because many Newcomer Players didn’t take the proper path—they didn’t grind monsters or tackle Instance Dungeons to grow stronger.
Instead, they chose to join the authorities, using the platform to oppress and eliminate other players to gain strength.
Currently in Crimson Earth, Official Players and Civilian Players are in a situation of clear distinction and mutual incompatibility, like fire and water.
If it weren’t for Beta Tester Player Lei Yao being an Official Player, these Civilian Players would have already come up to attack them.
Xu Liwen sighed; she understood that the atmosphere within the official ranks was becoming increasingly oppressive, with key figures secretly vying for interests.
She sighed and said, “The great tree is about to fall, and the birds must seek new nests.”
In reality, Xu Liwen couldn’t find Kamiyu, not even by using the Sky Net, and had no idea where she was.
She wanted to find Kamiyu quickly, make contact with her in secret, and escape from this so-called good platform of the official side.
Of course, she couldn’t find her, because Kamiyu “herself” had transformed into a completely new beautiful girl, so perfect she hardly seemed like someone who could exist in reality.
How could the Sky Net find someone who originally didn’t exist?
Even with a photo, searching with it would require a significant amount of time.
Moreover, Kamiyu had already fled to another city with Jack at this very moment.
Now, Kamiyu still had 12 pieces of weapons and equipment listed in the Trading Post space, with that Max Roll spear still firmly pinned at the very top of the Trading Post space.
The most expensive item for sale was this weapon.
Materials could be obtained by grinding mobs in Instance Dungeons, and the longer time passed, the higher Kamiyu’s profits would be.
Kamiyu never intended to sell everything at once; it was just that everyone was too enthusiastic, pushing the market atmosphere to its peak.
On the street.
A beautiful girl with pink hair and an exquisite face walked side by side with a 2.2-meter-tall muscular man who was bare-chested and wearing strange pants.
It was quite eye-catching, with a 100% rate of people turning their heads.
“Hey, hey, go change your clothes, okay? You’re already conspicuous enough as it is, and you’re not even wearing a shirt,” Kamiyu said shyly, hiding her face in her scarf.
Back in the original Black Sphere Game, Kamiyu had bought several sets of well-fitting clothes while fleeing.
It was winter, and she was wearing a light brown coat over a white sweater, with a black and dark blue plaid long skirt underneath, thick black stockings on her legs, and a pair of black suede ankle boots.
She looked about seventy percent mature and thirty percent cute.
But Jack beside her had his game equipment “displayed,” boldly walking down the street.
That’s right, equipment from the Black Sphere Game could be worn directly on the streets and still provide the attributes and affixes it brought.
On the surface, Kamiyu was wearing these clothes, but in reality, she still had the False Death Garment and Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing equipped on her Interface Panel.
She just didn’t have these pieces of equipment “displayed.”
It was like the concept of fashion items in many online games.
In reality, you could wear equipment, use Skills—the game had already invaded reality, and humanity had been strengthened, though monsters hadn’t invaded yet.
Jack said, “I only have these pants right now. Do you want me to go completely naked?”
Jack was referring to the equipment 【Suppressing Cold Iron Leggings】 that Kamiyu had given him.
“This makes things really difficult for me. You said you had an escape route, but I think it’s quite possible someone will call the police to arrest you, you exhibitionist,” Kamiyu said, turning her face away.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. You have no money, and my money was all burned up. Where am I supposed to buy clothes?” Jack frowned.
Kamiyu thought for a moment, then couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing.
“What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at how you knew to use a helicopter to crash into me back then, but didn’t think to put money, clothes, and miscellaneous items into the Storage first to keep them from getting burned.” Kamiyu continued laughing as she pulled several stacks of cash from the Storage and tossed them to Jack.
