Chapter 1075: Sky-High Transaction Price
Zhang Heng quietly listened to Fan Meinan’s story and made no comments. Instead, he asked, “How much time do you have left?”
“What do you mean? My condition? It’s deteriorated to stage four about two months ago. If I’m fast, it’ll only be two to three months. Optimistically, I probably still have another six months,” Fan Meinan said. “Why? Do you still want to come to my funeral?”
“I’ve been busy with some things recently, so I don’t think I’ll be able to find the time.” Zhang Heng threw the empty Coke can into the trash can and pulled out his phone. He typed something on it, and as soon as the first email was sent out, he wrote a second one.
Fan Meinan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly continued, “Then forget it. Initially, I wanted to ask you to help me take care of some of my belongings. I also prepared a few game props as payment, but I don’t think you’ll like them. After all, you’re already at the top of the list for the proxy war, so I’ll go find someone else.”
“Besides me, do you have any other friends here?” Zhang Heng asked.
“...”
“I can post a reward on the forum.”
“Then, when the person you hired saw your current state, they probably snatched your props away.” Zhang Heng didn’t raise his head. “Why don’t you push back time and wait til I’m free to die?”
“Do you think I don’t want to live?” Fan Meinan slammed the plastic fork in her hand. “But I’ve already been abandoned by Loki. I’ve lost all my abilities. I can’t use plasticine to make anything, and I can’t participate in this proxy war because the organizing committee has banned me from even entering normal dungeons. How can you, the number one person on the list, possibly understand me?!!”
“I’m no longer a person from your world. Other than the few items left, I’m no different from a normal person. Even the money I spent on the hospital was scammed from the past, and I’m almost out of it. Just like Cinderella, once the clock strikes twelve, my crystal shoes, pumpkin carriage, and prom dress will all disappear. I’ll return to the normal girl who sleeps in the restaurant dormitory and can only watch as death slowly creeps up on me.”
“I don’t think all of your things have disappeared,” Zhang Heng said. “Don’t you still have me? Since supernatural powers do really exist, there must be a cure for your illness.”
“Do you think I haven’t thought of that? “I’ve contacted hundreds of chambers of commerces, but they don’t have the items I need. It’s the same at the auction. On the first day of the game forum, I posted a request for items in the tool trading zone, but until now, no one has contacted me.”
“Have you ever considered that you didn’t offer them enough chips? Also, your ID doesn’t have any credibility. If such items really do exist, they must be very valuable. Most people would keep them for themselves. No one knows when they, or their important family and friends will need them. Even if they were to sell them, they wouldn’t contact a stranger on the forum.” Zhang Heng checked the items he had written, then pressed the send button.
“That’s not important anymore. I can’t afford the this thing anyway,” Fan Meinan sighed. “My disguise is no longer effective.”
“Good news. It turns out I can.” The moment Zhang Heng said that, his phone lit up, indicating he had received an email. The sender was D4, and there was only one sentence in it.
—Is this true?!!!!
The five exclamation marks behind it fully displayed the shock in his heart. Zhang Heng replied,
—That’s right. Send it according to this.
Then, D4 replied almost instantly.
—No problem. According to the request, if had someone else entrusted us, we would have to check the goods first. We, however, can fully trust Mr. Simon’s words. You just have to come to our headquarters in two weeks. Tthis is also a wonderful advertising opportunity for us.
—Thank you for the great effort.
After Zhang Heng sent the message, he put away his phone and turned to Fan Neinan.
“Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?” Fan Meinan appeared a little lost.
“To talk to your former employer,” replied Zhang Heng calmly.
....
At the same time, the players forums on the other side were once again in an uproar.
There was a fierce battle on the leaderboard tonight, and the turn of events was even more exciting than the TV series. First, beta single-handedly suppressed the three major guilds and ranked first on the leaderboard. In the end, it was not long before Simon overtook them. Moreover, someone quickly dug up the shocking news that Simon had only played two rounds in the first round of the proxy war, causing the players to quarrel over whether Simon had any cheats. The traffic on the forums tonight had already set a record. Many of the usual diving parties had also been blown out.
And at this time, the official account of Fulan, which had been verified by the forum, actually posted another post. It made Simon. He had already been the subject of the curiosity of hundreds and hot discussion, once again stood at the forefront of the storm.
—Requesting to purchase a healing type item or solution: must be able to cure a late-stage rare disease. Payment: 200,000 points (the customer currently does not have enough points. According to the rules, a B-grade item will be used as a guarantee. If the payment can not be completed, the B-grade item will be used to complete the transaction)
Two hundred thousand points as a reward for the transaction and a B-grade item as a guarantee?!!
The entire forum was in an uproar!!!
One had to know that a normal dungeon could only earn a few dozen points at a time. Two hundred thousand points was an astronomical figure for any player, not to mention a B-grade item.
Up till now, only two A-grade items had appeared. Considering how one of them had disappeared very quickly, a B-grade item was basically the strongest item a player could obtain. Additionally, B-grade items were also pitifully small in number. There were almost no V-grade items in circulation on the market. Dreamland of Death’s appearance at the auction earlier was completely unexpected. The three large guilds could not decide who would possess it, so they had no choice but to choose the method of public auction; moreover, it was almost inevitable that Dreamland of Death would fall into the pockets of one of the guilds. It was just that they did not expect to be cheated by the woman in sunglasses.
Simon obviously did not have 200,000 points on him, which meant that he would probably use that B-grade item to pay for it. This was also the first time that a player had traded a B-grade item publicly, and the person who traded it was the current number one player on the leaderboard, Simon.
Very soon, the traffic record that the forum had just set was broken once again. More and more posts began discussing this matter.
Icy Shrimp—Simon wants to buy a healing item. Could it be that he has a terminal illness?
Ball Lightning—Not necessarily. It could be a relative or friend. After all, it was a bit unrealistic to have such a fierce terminal illness.
Tiny Tail—Willing to take out a B-grade item. This person must be very important to him.
Slay the Youth—As expected of the number one player on the leaderboard, he was too bold. Although everyone had guessed that he had a B-grade item on him, this was equivalent to him admitting that he had a B-grade item on him. He did not belong to any guild as well. Was he not afraid of being targeted?
Little Tail—Could anyone in this world really dares to have a beef with Simon?
Revolver—In theory, no. After all, no one would complain about their own long life. It was a B-grade item, after all, and Simon was only one person. At most, there was no lack of people in this world who wanted to gamble with his teammates.
