Xie Ran logged into the game, appearing outside the gate of Zhulu mountain sect.

Meng Feixiang then also appeared beside him and reported the situation to him: “Sir, in the past few days, the prices of various materials in the game, medicines, secret manuals, weapons and raw materials have all soared. At present the black market price has reached more than five times the original market price.”

Xie Ran nodded, not surprised.

Inspired by his takeover of the Zhulu mountain sect, now all major player guilds tried to capture other system sects. This large-scale battle was bound to consume a lot of medicines and weapons, but the resources produced by the system were limited. In such cases, naturally all major guilds would try to loot the supplies, which led to soaring prices.

He told Yin Luyan not to rush to do this for this reason, at this time for taking over the system’s sect, just expenditure on the purchase of supplies was not a small pressure.

“There is also a news that Wind and Rain guild, vice guild master Yunru split out from current guild master of Wind and Rain guild Yunyu, taking nearly half of the people out of Wind and Rain guild with him to start a new guild.With losing nearly half of members, the Wind and Rain guild’s power was greatly reduced so Dynasty Smoke Pavillon jumped to number one spot.”

This was another major event that caused a sensation in the game recently, when almost all players’ guilds were preparing to seize players sect, the guild master Yunyu of the Wind and Rain guild suddenly announced that he would stop the occupation plan, this move attracted the vice guild master Yunru’s anger, he who already had a grudge against him, so he simply withdrew from the guild with a large number of cronies, causing a major shakeup of the entire game power structure.

Yunyu was Yin Luoyan’s game ID, this end result of the Wind and Rain Guild was a bit tragic but in Xie Ran’s opinion, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

Xie Ran roughly listened to it, but did not pay much attention to it, he only said: “Let’s do the quest first.”

Since they were playing an online game, quests should be done.

He looked at the progress of the quest and found that Fang Muhao was right here, so he went into the Zhulu mountain sect to find him.

Because of the preparation for the attack on the system sects, the members of the guilds have been more and more diligent in practicing PK and improving their strength during this period of time. Overall activity of the players was unprecedentedly high for a while, making the sects crowded with players doing quests every day.

Although the Zhulu mountain sect changed its owner, it did not affect its status in the game so at this moment it was crowded with players at all times.

Aa soon as Xie Ran appeared in the Zhulu mountain sect, he immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players, not because he was so famous, but because as soon as he stepped into the sect the big boss Fang Muhao, who has never been nice to the players, immediately trotted out all the way from the inner hall, rushing in front of Xie Ran and warmly greeted him: “Greeting master Xie!”

Other players: “……” What a flexible hermaphrodite!

Xie Ran glanced at Fang Muhao: “I’m here to collect the quest.”

“I know, I have prepared a quest for you in advance with a more generous reward, see if you are satisfied.” Fang Muhao said.

Surrounding players: ? ?

Although they knew that NPC give out different quest to everyone,  they never know that NPC issued quest based on people’s faces？！

Planning department should be beaten!

Fang Muhao continued: “In a short while it will be my cousin Nie Xueyi’s birthday, I want to give her a gift, if it’s convenient for you master Xie please buy a jade pendant for me at the East Third Street of Sunset City.”

The surrounding people could not help but shed sour tears when they heard that this quest was called “Nie Xueyi’s Gift” It was a European quest that many players dreamed of.

In the game materials, Fang Muhao has a childhood cousin named Nie Xueyi, the two had been originally betrothed, but Fang Muhao wanted to marry a young lady from another family in order to expand his influence. Nie Xueyi angrily withdrew from the marriage and ran away, but Fang Muhao always kept thinking about Nie Xueyi, and every year would send a gift to Nie Xueyi on her birthday.

This quest was very rare since Fang Muhao only issued it once a year but the reward was very generous. In the previous two years, players who received this task eventually received a weapon and a secret book from Fang Muhao as rewards and were now celebrities on the expert ranking.

Seeing Nie Xueyi’s birthday approaching this year, everyone was curious about which lucky person would receive this quest. Unexpectedly, Fang Muhao, who was picky about players in the past, gave it to Xie Dafang while humbly asking him whether he was satisfied or not.

Xie Ran nodded: “Alright.”

Meng Feixuan with a puzzled expression uttered ‘huh’ and then asked: “Don’t you already have a wife? Why are you still giving your cousin a present? “

Players around: ！！！Such big guts!

In the game setting, Fang Muhao has always been bitter about his cousin withdrawal of marriage so it was the most taboo subject to be mentioned in front of him. At first, some players who were not aware of the situation, just a whispered about it in Zhulu mountain sect but were slapped to death by Fang Muhao. But this man dared to ask Fang Muhao directly!

Sure enough, Fang Muhao’s expression changed but instead of getting angry, he only whispered nervously: “Lord Meng, please keep your voice down and don’t be heard by my wife.”

Players around “……” Forget it, let’s continue playing.

Xie Ran took the quest and then went with Meng Feixuan to the East Third Street of Sunset City.

East Third Street was the largest market in “Bright Moon River Lake” so nearly eighty percent of the game merchandise trading was carried out here. The street was lined with rows of stores and there were even small stalls on the ground, with both NPC and players selling things adding to the “immersion” of “Bright Moon River Lake” since players could also rent stores to do business so many well-off players have rented stores here to sell their own produced equipment, medicines and other products. There were also players who specialized in making money by flipping goods.

The streets are bustling with people, with a wide range of goods, food, drink and fun but the most variety was still in raw materials, medicines, equipment, martial arts secrets, etc. because they were important for the game’s progression.

The quest Nie Xueyi gift was not difficult, the most troublesome part was that Fang Muhao usually only vaguely pointed the location so players needed to visit various stores and might even buy the wrong things, so it was time-consuming.

But this problem obviously did not exist in Xie Ran’s case, Fang Muhao very carefully pointed out the location to him letting Xie Ran find the location in no time.

He got the jade pendant and left the store with Meng Feixuan. Seeing that it was still early, Meng Feixuan suggested: “Sir, since we are already here, why don’t we check the situation here?”

Xie Ran thought for a moment: “That’s fine.”

Meng Feixuan then opened his navigation system and led him forward not long after they arrived in front of the store. They were about to enter the door when suddenly there was a noise in front, a group of well-equipped players came face-to-face with them, led by Jian Jingsheng and Fu Guang.

During this period of time, the Dynasty Smoke Pavilion was also making preparations for the takeover of the system sect for some time. The guild members had been purchasing a large number of various materials in the market when they received the news that a new batch of raw materials and medicines of good quality had been released on this side of East Third Street.

Now that good quality materials and medicines were not available at all and the system sect takeover battle was near, Jian Jingsheng decided to take the initiative himself and took a few core members of Dynasty Smoke Pavillon with him to East Third Street to grab the goods.

But he didn’t expect to run into Xie Dafang.

Since Xie Dafang’s little wolf dog appeared to steal his future wife, they became like siamese twins. Almost every time Xie Dafang appeared, the little wolf would be within three steps of him.

Did this guy buy a house in the game? Why was he so idle?

Seening them Jian Jingsheng face turned green.
