Chapter 29
Reading Gun King’s reply, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile.
He naturally knew Gun King had no ill intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have listed just 200 items—he’d have gone for 999.
Big Brother Dai: Whatever, we’ll trade first. Just transfer the money later once you’ve saved up!
Gun King: Wtf? Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Dad!
Gun King: How about we trade at 600 Gold Coins per item?
Six hundred Gold Coins amounted to 90 million in total. While slightly less than the Auction House’s astronomical 99,999,999 Gold Coins, after accounting for transaction fees and waiting time, the price was already quite fair.
Big Brother Dai: Fine, 600 per item. Just transfer the money to yesterday’s account later.
Gun King: No problem, Dad. Rest assured, I guarantee the money will arrive within half an hour.
“Hmph, truly the mightiest merchant of the Level 60 Version. Just this one flexible move alone—this guy’s got me outclassed for two and a half years!” Chen Mo mused, impressed.
Taking advantage of Wang Lei’s absence, Chen Mo promptly contacted several other merchants. Just like with Gun King, he sold 200 items to each of the four traders, totaling 800 items traded.
Converted, this amounted to 600,000 Soft Gacha Coins. Combined with his original 120,000, Chen Mo now held a staggering 720,000 Soft Gacha Coins.
Rounded up, that’s practically a million!
“Stockpiling all the ‘Turtle’ titles across the server would cost about 300,000. The remaining 420,000 should be enough to buy a house nearby, right?”
As he pondered, Chen Mo logged back into his account. Since he’d already exhausted Sword Soul’s stamina earlier that morning, he switched to his Red-Eye character.
Quest accepted.
Map loaded. Time to grind.
…
Several hours later, Red-Eye’s level rose to 33.
“Whew, finally done!” Chen Mo lazily stretched.
“Old Mo, stamina depleted? What’re you waiting for? Let’s hit the arena!” Wang Lei shouted excitedly from the side.
“The arena?”
Faced with Wang Teng’s invitation, Chen Mo’s face flickered with contemplation.
Originally, he’d planned to follow his past-life habit of maxing out all characters. But now,
On one hand, the Level 60 Version didn’t seem to demand full-character progression as urgently. On the other, leveling up wasn’t as straightforward as in later eras.
Why not just play it easy for now? Save the grind for later, when upgrades become simpler.
“Sure, let’s go!”
“Alright, I’ll set up the room first. I’ll invite you and Teng later!”
Soon, Wang Lei created the match room.
Notification: Liu Huaqiang has invited you to join the room “I’ll Solo Ten,” named “I’ll Solo Ten.” Accept?
“Wtf, cousin? Isn’t that name a bit too arrogant? How the hell are we supposed to solo ten people?” Wang Teng deadpanned.
“Heh, we can’t—but Old Mo can! Old Mo’ll definitely carry ten alone!” Wang Lei chuckled.
“Bro Mo can solo ten? Isn’t he just a noob? Does he even PK?” Wang Teng gawked.
“Oh, naturally! Yesterday—”
Wang Lei recounted in detail how he’d been utterly crushed 16-0 by Chen Mo in a duel.
After hearing the story, Wang Teng’s eyes went wide.
“Damn! My legendary Bro Mo, your hands-on skills with the Innate Dnf Sacred Body are truly unmatched!”
“Eh, not really. I didn’t even try—your cousin just kept falling over. What could I do?”
“???”
As the trio chatted, several players joined the room. Since Chen Mo’s team was already the Blue Team, the newcomers were assigned to Red.
The three Red Team members: a Blind Monk, Toxic King, and a Ranger.
“Cousin, kick that damn Toxic King already! That trash class doesn’t deserve to be in the arena!” Wang Teng immediately shouted.
“Nah, it’s a free-for-all match. No ranking points lost on defeat. Besides, we might not even lose! Watch me crush him!” Wang Lei replied confidently.
“You sure about that? Don’t you remember that Toxic King at level 30 one-shotted you a dozen times?”
“Er… that was lag! Today, I’ll show you!”
Chen Mo didn’t join the debate. In his mind, even if the Level 60 Version’s Toxic King was overpowered, it wouldn’t scare him—a champion cross-server competitor.
Who’s stronger?
Only one way to find out!
Firecracker Snack: What’s taking so long? Scared to fight your big talk?
Big Dark One Day: Probably shitting bricks. With such a flashy name and a Toxic King? The host’s probably thinking of kicking you!
Smoking Lonely: Lol, talk tough when you name a room, then back down when it’s time to fight! Change your name if you’re scared!
Liu Huaqiang: Shut up, you idiots! Can’t a guy jack off in peace? If you’re so eager to get wrecked, come on then!
Who backs down in virtual combat?
Wang Lei clicked “Start.”
Map: Sky City.
Chen Mo’s team pressed “Ready” simultaneously.
Unfortunately, Chen Mo’s luck was poor—he’d be third to fight.
Wang Lei’s Red-Eye was first, facing the Blind Monk “Big Dark One Day.”
Liu Huaqiang: No Unsealed Power!
Big Dark One Day: OK!
3!
2!
1!
Fight!
Wang Lei on the left, Big Dark One Day on the right.
Both opened cautiously, maintaining distance while buffing up.
Then they charged.
Mountain Splitter!
Crescent Wave!
Silver Falling Blade!
…
In moments, they traded blows, neither landing a hit.
Wang Lei retreated to safety.
His right hand lifted—a crimson aura surged.
Big Dark One Day: ???
Firecracker Snack: Red-Eye, what the hell? You said no Unsealed Power! Got any shame?!
Marylin Monroe: Shut the hell up! Dual Blades count as Unsealed? A Red-Eye without Dual Blades isn’t a Red-Eye!
Wang Teng immediately defended Wang Lei.
Chen Mo, meanwhile, was speechless.
Technically, Dual Blades were an Unsealed skill. But without it, Red-Eye was crippled.
Right or wrong? Impossible to say.
Amid the argument, Big Dark One Day seized the moment.
Wave Eruption!
Evil Light Slash!
Ice Fragment!
Xxx!
…
Half of Wang Lei’s HP evaporated instantly.
But in the final moment, Big Dark One Day’s Wave Splitting Slash missed due to range error.
That gave Wang Lei his opening.
He retaliated with Triple Slash, then another skill as he shouted:
Liu Huaqiang: Dodge, I messed up my input!
What a hilarious Red-Eye! How about a monthly ticket for this guy?
