Chapter 22: High-Price Transaction Zone

  After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Ye Chen didn't rush to go outside the city to dig for Red Blood Grass. Instead, he headed towards the largest free trade market in Lie Shan City. He wanted to sell off the Red Color Dan he had obtained, otherwise, he wouldn't have enough funds to purchase subsequent dan formulas.

  The free trade market outside was a free trading area, as soon as Ye Chen just walked in, he immediately felt the extraordinary atmosphere, there were many people here, buying things, selling things, it was simply crowded with people, everywhere was shouting and hawking, bargaining voices, it was simply like a vegetable market.

  Ye Chen's footsteps didn't linger here, but instead headed straight to the depths of the trading market. He was going to the high-priced transaction area, where the Red Dan could be sold for a good price.

  After squeezing for over ten minutes, the crowd around finally thinned out, and the high-priced trading area was in sight. A few steps away from the entrance of the high-priced trading area, Ye Chen handed over five gold coins to the NPC guard at the entrance, who looked like he had been punched in the face, before he could finally enter the high-priced trading area.

  Compared to the free trade area outside, the high-priced trading district has a relatively sparse flow of people and is much quieter. However, at a glance, it's clear that both buyers and sellers here are more upscale players. Many of those browsing the market wear equipment with green or blue lights, and occasionally there are guys strolling around with women who have equipment emitting cyan light - bronze equipment, which is still extremely rare at this stage.

  These are all fat sheep, Ye Chen sighed slightly in his heart, but he was not surprised at all by the situation in the high-priced district. The 5-gold coin entrance fee is really not something that anyone can afford to pay. Players who can spend this kind of money to come in and buy things must have some wealth.

  The stalls at the entrance were already occupied, so Ye Chen had to walk all the way in, casually glancing at the stalls on both sides as he walked. This look really opened his eyes, and he saw that there were many high-quality green equipment and rare blue equipment on display, even some stalls with bronze equipment emitting a cyan glow. In addition to equipment, there were skill books, pets, and miscellaneous items, and Ye Chen even saw red blood grass on several stalls, but the price was too expensive, requiring 1 gold coin per piece, only fools would buy it.

  After walking for a long time, Ye Chen finally found an empty stall and quickly occupied the position, placing his Red Color Dan on display. Then he loudly shouted: "Just arrived, the heavenly experience dan! Eating one can increase 50,000 points of experience, great help for leveling up, perfect gift for your girlfriend! Limited quantity available, come quick if you want to buy, or it will be gone!"

  Ye Chen's loud shout shocked the surrounding players who were strolling around, and the crowd rushed over in an instant, all scrambling to make offers.

  " Sell me one, sell me one! I'll give you 10 gold coins, 10 gold coins!" A 13th-level young warrior with acne all over his face shouted loudly at Ye Chen while hugging a female mage who looked like a flower.

  "Scram, 15 gold coins per one, I want two." A half-orc berserker with a thick beard pushed aside the level-13 warrior and his flower-like girlfriend.

  The atmosphere was very enthusiastic, with people constantly bidding, but the price never exceeded 20 gold coins. This was far from Ye Chen's psychological price point. In his mind, these ten Red Color Dan should sell for at least 400 gold coins; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to afford the cost of buying the dan formula. Moreover, this Red Color Dan was absolutely worth selling for 40 gold coins per piece; any lower would be a loss.

  After shouting for more than 10 minutes, the highest price was only 25 gold coins per piece. Ye Chen felt a bit depressed, 25 gold coins, he might as well eat it himself, this amount of money was not even enough to buy the White Tiger Dan's formula.

  At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the crowd. Someone outside shouted: "Make way, make way! You poor devils can't afford to go in, move aside and let our big brother come in!"

  As they spoke, several fierce warriors parted the crowd and surrounded a swordsman player with good equipment but holding a large whiteboard sword, who squeezed in front of Ye Chen.

  "Next, just as I was about to sleep, a pillow comes along. I just dropped a level this morning, and now I can make up two levels. Isn't that money? Brother has it!" The swordsman player boasted loudly, but when he looked up at Ye Chen, he suddenly froze."

  "It's you!"

  Ye Chen and Jian Shi let out a cry of surprise at the same time, but Ye Chen's cry had a hint of joy in it, while Jian Shi's voice was filled with hatred, his face twisted in a deep-seated resentment.

  This swordsman is actually Lie Hu Paoxiao, who had his equipment exploded by Ye Chen. What a coincidence...

  "Do you want to buy this rouge?" Ye Chen looked at Lie Hu with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling gaze.

  Fierce Tiger growled and nodded with a gloomy face, saying impatiently: "Less nonsense, 30 gold coins per one, I'll take ten."

  Ye Chen curled her lip in disdain and said, "What do you want? You want it? I won't sell!" Then she went to pack up her stall.

  The fierce tiger's face turned bright red with rage, pointing at Ye Chen and shouting: "You're playing me, right? Let me tell you, today you have to sell, whether you want to or not. Brothers, surround him for me."

  A group of fierce tiger players suddenly surrounded Ye Chen's small stall, leaving no gap in between. The fierce tiger let out a loud roar and sneered: "If you don't sell today, don't think about getting out!"

  Ye Chen's face also darkened, Lie Hu's roar was extremely disgusting, the city couldn't PK, but it really couldn't pierce through people, if he insisted on surrounding himself, for a while, he really couldn't leave.

  "Hmph, I thought who was so arrogant, it turned out to be the fierce tiger family's Chao Xiao Ge. What, does the fierce tiger family still want to dominate Lie Shan City? Ye Chen brothers are our esteemed guests at Long Teng, you're not taking us seriously enough by doing this?"

  As the voice fell, a group of players with the prefix "Dragon Rise" rushed over like wolves, and in just a few moves, they squeezed out more than a dozen players from the Lietu Family, at the same time, Dragon Rise Xuan, with a smile on his face, also walked to the front of the stall.

  "Night Morning Brother, you're indeed a high-ranking person! It's only been a short while since we last met, and yet you've managed to concoct another great thing - the Experience Dan. How about it? You did say that good things should be sold to us first, right? 35 gold coins, what do you think? This is even higher than the price that Lietu Baoxiao that fool offered!" Long Teng Zhanxing smiled slyly as he looked at Ye Chen, with a cunning glint in his eyes.

  Ye Chen glared at Long Teng Xing with a bad temper, this guy actually took the opportunity to set the price, but Ye Chen wasn't very angry either. After all, today they Long Teng also helped themselves out of trouble, so it was just a little less, a little less. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, someone else squeezed over.

  "40 gold coins for one, I'll take them all."
