Chapter 7: Selling the Hellen Emperor's Seal!

Chapter 7: Selling the Hellen Emperor’s Seal!

Wang Lei had half-expected Chen Mo to pull off something extraordinary.

But seeing it with his own eyes…

It still felt suffocating.

Too strong!

Unbelievably strong!

After years of gaming, he’d never encountered luck this insane. Drawing three Fatigue Potions from eighteen Black Crystal Coins? This had to be setting a record in the M78 Nebula!

“Damn it, Old Mo, how did I miss your luck all these years? Knowing you’re this much of a Lucky King hurts worse than getting killed myself!” Wang Lei said, his face twisted with envy.

“Haha, Old Wang, stay calm! This is just another day for the Lucky King! If this shocks you, what’ll you do when I pull a Level 15+ National Slaughter later?”

The National Slaughter, full name Judicator: Nation’s Guts, was the strongest graduation weapon currently in Sword Soul: Red-Eye. A basic, unenhanced version alone cost five hundred coins. As for a Level 15+? Wang Lei hadn’t just never seen one—he’d never even heard of one!

“Level 15+ National Slaughter? You’re dreaming too big, Old Mo!”

“Gotta aim high! You’re always fantasizing about playing poker with Julia, aren’t you?”

Wang Lei: “…”

While bantering, Chen Mo used a Fatigue Potion. The empty fatigue bar refilled by fifty points.

“Alright, Old Wang, let’s keep grinding!”

“Roger that, Mr. Lucky King of the National Server!”

“Wait, what?!”

Inside the dungeon, the battle resumed.

Under Wang Lei’s capable lead as a mid-tier Red-Eye, Chen Mo breezed through the game’s early brutality. He leveled up effortlessly to 15.5.

Unfortunately, while his fatigue problem was solved, Wang Lei’s ran out again.

“Old Wang, you’re out of energy?”

“Yeah, all gone,” Wang Lei nodded.

“Why not try the Black Crystal Coins? Maybe today’s drop rate is high—you might score a Fatigue Potion!” Chen Mo suggested.

Wang Lei hesitated. “You think I’ll actually get one?”

“Man up! You’ve gotta believe! You can do it!”

“Fair point. Let’s try!”

Minutes later…

Wang Lei, after exhausting all his Black Crystal Coins, looked like a chimney sweep.

“Damn it, Old Mo! Where’s my Fatigue Potion?! I pulled dozens of times and didn’t even get a contract?!”

“Uh…”

Before Chen Mo could reply, a shout echoed nearby.

“Hey net guy! Your internet cafe doesn’t have pre-downloaded videos?! Where are they?! I can’t find any!”

Annoying as it was, it was his job. Wang Lei sighed.

“Don’t scream! Wait a moment—I’m coming!”

Before leaving, he added, “Old Mo, wait in Town a bit. I’ll be back soon!”

“Go ahead!”

As Chen Mo watched Wang Lei leave, he naturally didn’t plan to idle. He opened the Auction House interface.

First, he rechecked the price of the Marine Hero: Sea Turtle.

Satisfied he hadn’t misread it earlier, he typed a new search term:

Hellen Emperor’s Seal

To his surprise, the Auction House price wasn’t the 1,000 Gold Coins he remembered—it had skyrocketed to 1,500!

“What the hell? Why’s it doubled?!”

“Could it be…?”

Chen Mo quickly pieced it together.

The current timeline coincided with the Asura Awakening update in Chapter 3. Blind Elder, one of the top five players, had single-handedly spiked Awakening Material prices. Perfectly normal.

“6666, Stainless Steel’s awesome!”

After a moment of admiration, Chen Mo faced a dilemma: How to sell his Hellen Emperor’s Seal stash in the System Warehouse?

Listing on the Auction House? Unlocked tiers and Gold Caps blocked that.

Selling online? Transaction fees and avoiding Wang Lei’s notice complicated things.

Grinding in Horn channels, setting up stalls… Either too costly or time-consuming. Nothing satisfied him.

“Damn, am I stuck holding this?”

Suddenly, a Horn channel announcement caught his eye.

Like You: Infinite Purchase! High-tier weapons, legacies, divine accessories, gears, cards! Prices to die for! Mmmmm!

Like You: Infinite Purchase! High-tier weapons, legacies, divine accessories, gears, cards! Prices to die for! Mmmmm!

…Like You?

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up.

Need to sell? Buyers are here!

From past memories, Like You was known as the “Top Merchant of Shaan Yi,” a titan of commerce. Players bought and sold with him effortlessly. Chen Mo had transacted with him before—always smoothly.

“Hope you haven’t changed, Like You!”

He opened his friend list, added Like You.

Dai Dai Da Shi Xiong: Bro, do you buy Hellen Emperor’s Seals?

Like You: Buy. 1,300 Gold Coins each. How many you got? I’ll take all!

A 200 Gold Coin discount compared to the Auction House. Steep, but Chen Mo didn’t haggle. Instead, he grinned and fired off a reply.

Dai Dai Da Shi Xiong: 500,000!

Like You:…

Like You: Bro, typo? You meant 5,000, right?

Dai Dai Da Shi Xiong: Five hundred thousand! 500,000! Five hundred thousand!!

Like You: ???

Like You knew the Auction House had maybe 100,000 Seals total. A small-time seller with 5,000 was impressive. But half a million? International joke!

Like You: Dude, bored? Don’t act dumb. I’ve got better things to do!

Dai Dai Da Shi Xiong: Lol. Can’t afford it? Then don’t spam your Infinite Buy Horns! Laughingstock!

Like You nearly blocked Chen Mo—until he paused.

If he didn’t reply, wouldn’t that admit defeat?

Like You: Like showing off? Fine. I’ll play.

Like You: Wait on your server. I’m switching channels. Let’s see where you’ll pull half a million seals.

[System] Like You has logged out.

[System] Like You entered Channel 15.

…One Emperor’s Seal, one Queen’s Seal—new class updates always spiked prices! Everyone, remember to stockpile after the time travel!
