The 40th Pastor Myth: Skilled Hands and Benevolent Heart

  "Could it be a healing chain?" After carefully reading the skill introduction, Ding Qiang was stunned. The red-handed priest's hands were really too red! Could such a low-level copy actually produce a healing chain?

  "Haha, it's a skill book, what good luck." The priest dryly laughed: "Brother, it's my skill book, give it back to me."

  "All other books are fine, but this one is not." Ding Qiang said with a smile, shaking his head.

  "Is this skill book yours, Pastor?" the pastor said.

  "That's right."

  "That's it, you can't even use it if you take it." The pastor said: "You're being a bit unfair, aren't you?"

  "All other pastor skill books can be given to you, but this one is not allowed." Ding Qiang said resolutely.

  "You...!" The pastor said gloomily: "Isn't it just about the money? Alright, I'll pay 100 gold coins for this book. Is that okay?"

  "No way." Ding Qiang said resolutely. One hundred gold coins to take away this treatment chain that's considered a divine healing technique? You must be dreaming!

  "200 gold coins......" The pastor gritted his teeth and said. Now the team allocation method is allocated by the captain, Ding Qiang doesn't nod, no one can take it away, he can only be anxious.

  He is an old player, knowing the preciousness of this multi-healing target skill. After having this healing chain, in large-scale team dungeons, one priest can be compared to several ordinary priests.

  And for team-oriented therapeutic skills, they can be fully applied for funding from guilds to purchase.

  "I'll give you 10,000 gold coins, and I'll take this book," Ding Qiang said. At this stage, especially when everyone is eager to be the first to kill in the Flame Zone, selling it for 40,000 to 50,000 at an auction house wouldn't be a problem.

  He wouldn't rob others of their equipment, but he also couldn't just stand by and watch as someone took advantage of such a huge opportunity right in front of him...

  As soon as he heard this sentence, the pastor immediately knew that the guy in front of him was also a professional and realized that he had met someone who understood the goods, and immediately gave up the idea of taking advantage of him.

  Perhaps after discussing with everyone in the guild, the priest gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty thousand gold coins, take it or leave it."

  Without saying another word, Ding Qiang initiated the transaction and threw the treatment chain up.

  Thirty thousand gold coins is not a small amount, if thrown into an auction house to sell, although the price will be slightly higher, but don't forget that those who see it have a share, at that time they will have to give half of it to others, calculated this price is already quite good.

  The pastor released a small bank made of engineering materials, took out gold coins from the bank, and traded with Ding Qiang. After finishing the transaction, he clapped his hands together, and a white light pierced into his body.

  "Congratulations, congratulations!" Ding Qiang said with a smile.

  "Ah, this money is also painful to spend." The pastor used it once and smiled with satisfaction.

  Ding Qiang was about to return to town when the pastor stopped him: "Brother, exchange name cards."

  "Uh-huh."

  After returning to the city, Ding Qiang opened the business card of the pastor he had just met and looked at his name - Miao Shou Ren Xin. A line of information involuntarily appeared in his mind.

  Miao Shou Ren Xin, Odin's Sword First Priest, he alone can almost match three to five ordinary players. It is precisely because of him that Odin's Sword can lead other guilds far ahead in terms of dungeon progress.

  "Just by relying on the experience of other games, one can sense the value of this skill book. This guy is indeed a legendary pastor." Ding Qiang thought to himself.

  ……

  Ding brought back the notes left behind by Sword Saint from the deepest part of the dark cave and immediately rushed back to the mountain cave where Sword Saint Lantis was.

  Taking the somewhat yellowed paper from Ding Qiang's hand, a hint of nostalgia appeared in the eyes of Sword Saint Lantis.

  A moment later, Sword Saint Lantis nodded and pulled out a thumb-sized glass bottle - the Soul Bottle from his bosom.

  "Absorb the souls of the monsters you've killed, gather 1,000 and come back to see me..." After saying that, the gleam in Sword Saint Lantis' eyes flashed by, and he transformed back into that unimpressive fake Sword Saint.

  One thousand is not a small number, after all those monsters are not stupid and just stand there to be killed. Under normal circumstances, players receive this task at level 30 and receive the transfer task from the ordinary career instructor, but it takes two thousand souls to complete, which requires even more time.

  But with the experience of the previous life and a bit of luck, Ding Qiang has already received this task. Probably by the time others have just received their first task, Ding Qiang will have almost completed the final step.

  That's the difference...

  Receiving the task, leaving the cave, Ding Qiang quickly returned to Holy Light City.

  As more and more guilds completed their equipment accumulation in the Flame Canyon, the number of guilds joining the Flame Land team vice leadership also increased, and Ding Qiang's wallet also became thicker.

  He just put up nearly a thousand bottles of flame retardant medicine, but in less than half an hour, they were all snapped up, which shows the market demand for this medicine.

  A bottle for 20 gold coins, a thousand bottles is two hundred thousand gold coins. According to the current black market exchange rate between gold coins and RMB, this is over 200,000 yuan.

  Left 2,000 gold coins as working capital, Ding Qiang took out all the remaining gold coins and then searched for a player named "Last Hope" through the player search function.

  "I have a batch of gold coins in my hand, will you accept them?" Ding Qiang asked.

  Finally hope to send over a question mark.

  "Will you accept it or not?" Ding Qiang didn't respond to his question and continued asking.

  "Who are you?"

  "It was introduced by a friend," said Ding Qiang.

  The Last Hope is a well-known businessman in the game world, with a low level, specializing in buying and selling goods, while the exchange of gold coins and RMB is one of his businesses.

  Even in the later stages, when the game opened up gold and RMB exchange, many players still preferred to trade secretly through black markets. After all, if they exchanged through normal channels, they would have to pay a 10% handling fee and tax.

  For this kind of player, game companies have always been ruthless and severe in their crackdowns, which is also the reason why he is so cautious.

  "Hehe..." Ding Qiang chuckled and casually mentioned a few unknown names. In his previous life, Ding Qiang had interacted with this last hope many times and knew some of the figures in their circle.

  "Alright, friend, do you want to exchange for gold coins or RMB? But I'm telling you, the current market is a bit sluggish, and gold coins are scarce. Several major players have already announced that they will exchange gold coins at a 1:1 ratio with no limit on the amount. If you also want to collect some gold coins, you might have to wait for a while."

  "No, I have some gold coins in my hand and want to exchange them for cash," said Ding Qiang.

  "Are you... a workshop or a guild?" The last hope's face lit up with joy.

  He's currently in a tight spot and urgently needs to make a big deal to alleviate the economic pressure. He originally had great confidence in the Divine Sign game, but didn't expect this Flame instance to be so difficult. So many guilds have tried until now, yet not one has been able to clear the final boss. Without progress in the instance, there's no change in the game, and business opportunities will only continue to shrink...

  "Personally." According to memory, vaguely knowing that now the last hope this guy seems to be in a bit of trouble, Ding Qiang said.

  "Oh." The last hope was somewhat disappointed, as with this kind of personal customer, even if they had gold coins, the amount would never be large. Thinking of this, he replied somewhat listlessly: "The current market price is 1:1, which means one gold coin can be exchanged for one dollar, and the commission is 5%. For amounts over five digits, there's a discount of 1%."

  The commission is 5%, even if it's a thousand gold coins, it's only fifty yuan at most. Moreover, considering the current level of players, I'm afraid no one can own so many gold coins. Although guilds exist, their expenses are also high, and each one hopes that the game company will open up the gold coin exchange service with RMB as soon as possible. How can they sell gold coins at this time? So it's no wonder that the last hope is dwindling.

  "Oh, okay." Ding Qiang took a glance at the number of gold coins in the package and picked out an integer: "Then I'll exchange seven hundred thousand first."

  "How much?" The last hope asked with eyes wide open in disbelief.

  ……

  On one side, he was negotiating with Ding Qiang, his last hope; on the other, he couldn't stop sizing up Ding Qiang.

  Because of the relatively large amount, both parties did not go through the system but instead chose a bar to meet in person for the transaction.

  After a while, the last hope finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, the flame retardant in the auction house, was it made by you?"

  Some looked at each other in surprise, and Ding Qiang said: "How did you guess?"

  Although Ding Qiang did not explicitly state it, the implication is clear that he has already acknowledged it.

  The last hope smiled and said: "I thought about it, and in such a short period of time, I can make so much money. Recently, there is only this one way."

  "But brother, you've hidden yourself quite deeply, now I don't know how many people will be looking for you, how did you manage to hide?"

  "Heh heh......" Ding Qiang smiled slightly, without saying a word.

  What's the point of hiding? Can you hide forever?

  During this period, Qian Yanjing has been openly persuading and secretly attacking, with all kinds of despicable means emerging one after another. Ding Qiang has experienced several such sneak attacks.

  Soon, the transaction was completed. Looking at the bank card's arrival reminder, looking at the nearly 70,000 yuan that appeared in the card, Ding Qiang finally felt relieved. In any case, he had made his first profit in the game.

  The current exchange rate between gold coins and RMB is quite high, almost reaching 1:1. As the player's level increases, gold coins become less valuable, eventually reaching an exaggerated ratio of 100:1 at some point later on.

  The physical examination costs about 1.5 million, and there's only one week left before the agreed time with Li Yan. However, if nothing unexpected happens, relying on his experience from the previous life, as long as the major guilds still value the first team to clear the Flame Zone dungeon in the Divine Sign game, he should be able to earn the remaining amount easily.

  The transaction was completed and both parties left soon after, Ding Qiang received a message.

  "Friend, next time if there's goods, be sure to contact me, no matter how much the goods are, the 3% commission remains unchanged." The last hope said.

  "Hmm." Ding Qiang replied: "Don't worry, if there's anything in the future, I'll definitely look for you."

  "Haha, thanks, bro."

  Feeling the last hope of joy flowing from the words, Ding Qiang was a little absent-minded and couldn't help but think of the situation in his previous life...

  Ding Qiang knew many black market businessmen, but why did he choose the last hope? One reason was that this guy was quite kind-hearted and not like other businessmen who only had eyes for money.

  Another reason is that in his previous life, he had owed this guy several times and was helped by him several times. Later on, if it wasn't for his help behind the scenes, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on with the Tian Dao Alliance for so long.

  However, the last hope of helping Ding Qiang was eventually discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

  In a fit of rage, the Tian Dao Alliance issued a wanted order for him. He was just a merchant with a low level and ordinary equipment, so he was killed back to the newbie village in just a few days. Helpless, he could only dispose of all his goods and quit the game in frustration.

  "Tian Dao Alliance..." As soon as he thought of these three words, Ding Qiang's teeth clenched in anger.
