Chapter Ten: Main City Respect

  Li Yi returned to the Po Suo City auction house and found that all the fire-resistant medicine had been sold out, not a single piece was left.

  "500 yuan for a set of fire-resistant materials, how much do you want?"

  "Group 501 is on fire resistance, how much do you want?!"

  "Dude, don't raise the price, it's already going up, I'm about to cry."

  "Will prices come down if neither of us raises them?"

  "Ah~"

  Nowadays, fire-resistant potions have become the best-selling items in auction houses. It's okay for large guilds to use their substantial funds to buy them in bulk, but players without a guild are in trouble, unable to afford fire-resistant potions and seeing their leveling speed greatly reduced. The gap between those with potions and those without is growing larger and larger.

  He easily made 40,000 gold coins, and after deducting the taxes and fees taken by the auction house, Li Yi still netted a profit of 18,000.

  This time Li Yi put up 100 sets of fire-resistant drugs at a price of 800 per set.

  Now he still has 70 sets left in his hand, but the remaining ones are not for sale either. He needs to upgrade himself and use them. 70 sets should be enough.

  Li Yi sent all 4 pieces of equipment that fell off the flower to 'Sheng Jie Mo', which originally belonged to him.

  After clearing the 50-man instance, Li Yi leveled up again and is now at level 19 with 70% experience. He's about to reach level 20 soon.

  Li Yi browsed through the auction house, looking for a skill book that a level 20 archer could learn.

  At level 20, Archers can learn three powerful skills: "Misdirection", "Silent Shot" and "Empower Companion".

  Silent Shot is an interrupt skill that silences the target, preventing them from casting any spells for 3 seconds. It has a 20-second cooldown period. This skill can be very powerful at times and is one of the must-learn skills for all three schools of archers.

  Misdirection is also powerful, marking a target, at this time if attacking other monsters, the monster will mistakenly think that the marked target is hitting it, and then go after the target. This move is also the signature skill of archers, hatred transfer divine technique.

  Strengthening pets is also good, every time you upgrade a level, it can make all pet attributes +10, and it is one of the must-have skills for Beast King series archers.

  All three skills are great, but when it comes to Li Yi, he's a bit torn.

  His skills are all over the place, a jack-of-all-trades but master of none.

  If someone like him doesn't have a large number of 'skill points' to spend in the later stages, then he's trash.

  For example, the shooting system's "Repel Arrow Technique" has the effect of repelling the target and increasing the distance between the archer and the target. It is also a strong control skill, but to learn "Repel Arrow Technique", the prerequisite must be "Rapid Fire Arrow" at level 5, which means that you need to spend 6 skill points to get it to level 1.

  There's also "Strengthen Pet" which is the same, if you don't level up "Pet Mastery" to 5, then forget about learning this. Other skill systems are similar too, one skill linked to another, if you don't spend your skill points on a system, you won't be able to learn the subsequent skills in that system.

  To learn "Repel Arrows", Li Yi has already leveled up "Linked Arrow" to level 5, now all that's missing is the level requirement and a copy of the "Repel Arrows" skill book. (Level 21 skill)

  Level 20 skill, only "Mislead" has no prerequisite skills and no follow-up, just learn level one is enough, but the remaining two all have prerequisites.

  Li Yi's current skill points, after learning "Deception", can only learn one more thing.

  The prerequisite for learning "Silent Shot" is "Ice Trap" level 5.

  Whether to learn "Pet Strengthening" or "Silent Shooting", it's a difficult choice for the old player Li Yi.

  Both are useful, "Silent Shot" can interrupt the target's skill casting, learned just in time to fight 'Summoner Skarss', and "Empowered Pet" is also very useful, with this, pet attributes increase, and it can better hold monsters.

  In short, it's still not enough skill points.

  Li Yi hesitated for half a day and finally didn't hesitate, buying all three skill books. Anyway, he wasn't at level 20 yet, so there was no rush.

  Three skill books: "Pet Strengthening" is the cheapest, only 200 gold coins. The other two are "Silent Shot" for 1000 gold coins and "Misdirection" for 1500 gold coins.

  Fortunately, many people do not understand the value of skill books now. To know that even if the King of Gods has been running for eight years, the price of various skill books is still high, especially low-level skill books, which are worth a fortune.

  In the King of Gods, there is no trash item, so when you don't know the value of an item, never rush to get rid of it, or else you will definitely regret it.

  This sentence is a small hint given by the system to players when logging into the game.

  Li Yi's current situation is like this. He almost knows the price of everything, so when he sees cheap goods at an auction house, he naturally won't let them go and will take them all down.

  Li Yi goes crazy every time he enters an auction house, no one can help it, when they see things that were worth tens of thousands of gold in the past now being sold for only a few hundred gold, everyone would go crazy like him.

  "It's strange, even the worthless junk like Jingzhu Shi is out of stock."

  "Yes, and also sky blue stone, storm stone, colorful prism stone, these gemstones that women use as ornaments were all bought out."

  "There are really many rich people."

  "There are many rich fools."

  "Too much..."

  Now Li Yi, a true insider, is just a big fool in the eyes of a group of fellow insiders. However, this group of insiders doesn't know that soon they will be buying back those worthless items from this big fool with tears in their eyes.

  Li Yi's body was left with only 10,000 gold coins, and the rest were all used to sweep goods.

  Warehouse No. 1 is full, spent 200 gold to buy Warehouse No. 2 which is also full, then 500 gold for Warehouse No. 3, 1000 gold for Warehouse No. 4...

  Li Yi bought ten warehouses to store those cheap goods, but the space seems still not enough...

  "It seems necessary to buy a bigger house now."

  Li Yi reluctantly shook his head and left the auction house with a lingering attachment.

  If he doesn't like upgrading, just by soaking in auction houses every day, he can become a super rich man among the gods.

  Li Yi completed a few daily tasks and his prestige was almost respectable.

  If we get the team copy first kill now, I can buy a mount already, unfortunately, just short of that little bit.

  White Gold, I'm getting more and more curious about you guys.

  Just a little short of prestige to be respected in the main city, now Li Yi is really unhappy after going offline. After thinking for half a day, he went to find the military supply officer of Broken Frost City.

  "Are you really going to donate 5,000 gold coins to build the city wall?" The quartermaster asked in surprise.

  "Yes." Li Yi nodded painfully.

  Donating money to repair the city wall can directly increase the main city's prestige value by 1000 points. This task can be done once a day by any player, but each time it is done, the gold coins spent will double...

  Congratulations, your prestige value has reached 'Respected' in Frost City.

  Spent 5,000 gold coins, finally made Frost City 'respect' me.

  "Warrior, is there anything I can assist you with?" The quartermaster looked at Li Yi with respect.

  I want to buy a horse...

  The mounts available for sale to human officers in the Imperial City were limited to horses only, and Li Yi had no choice.

  "Please choose."

  The military officer brought out a pile of horse heads for Li Yi to choose from.

  The price of a mount with prestige is not expensive, only 20 gold coins, and the so-called choice is just choosing the color.

  White horse.

  Must be white, never been a prince in reality, indulge in it in the game first.

  Congratulations, you have obtained a fast horse and automatically learned basic riding skills.

  Li Yi pressed down with one hand, and a burst of white smoke appeared. A white warhorse emerged beside him.

  Riding a white horse in the city of Broken Frost, he galloped with an impressive manner, countless snowflakes flying towards him like private messages, making Li Yi's eyes dazzle.

  "Brother...... how did you get your mount? Can you tell me?"

  "Good brother, where did you buy your bike? Tell me, little sister."

  "Will you sell your mount? I'll give 200,000 gold!"

  "Buy 100 gold horse mission!"

  ……

  The reply was so overwhelming that it left Li Yi speechless, he had really forgotten that in this new era, even the most ordinary mount like a war horse would be enough to drive people crazy once it appeared.

  Li Yi only ran half a lap in Po Xiang City before dispersing his war horse, he still had things to do, private chat didn't respond and didn't ask, but when many players chased him with their two legs, he really couldn't take it.

  "I was just riding a quest horse, and once the quest is completed, the horse disappears. If you want to ride one, go to the south of the city and find Zhang the Horseman to accept the task."

  Li Yi spent half a day talking before finally getting rid of those persistent people.

  He ran into the city lord's mansion and arrived at the new recruit enlistment office.

  The King of Gods is not a simple hack-and-slash game, this game has a very high degree of freedom, in this game, you can choose to be a merchant, or you can choose to be a chef, in the world of gods, everything is possible.

  Li Yi's current choice is to be a small soldier in Broken Frost City, preparing for future official positions.

  To be a soldier, you just need to meet one requirement, respect for the main city.

  "Defend Frostburg to the death!"

  The most generous oath, Li Yi's head was added with a title 'Guard City Little Soldier'.

  Finally done...

  "There is a group of bandits outside the city who often rob passing merchants. As a member of Frost City, the task of getting rid of them has been given to you."

  The officer assigned a task to Li Yi.

  Li Yi refused.

  When Xiaobing can receive exclusive daily tasks every day, but Li Yi is too tired after finishing the copy, he urgently wants to take a rest.

  Li Yi chose to go offline.

  Countdown in seconds: 10, 9, 8...

  When the countdown reached 5 seconds, Li Yi received a message from his friend Huo Bing'er.

  "I've been ambushed... come and rescue me quickly."
