Three full-service announcements. Usually, such announcements would only appear to announce matters of great importance.

These announcements could be heard throughout Second World.

​​ 

When all the other players heard the announcements, they were shocked. ‘Other than having the NPCs kill people on his behalf, God Slayer actually killed a wild boss?’

Instantly, the same question appeared in everyone’s mind, ‘Who was God Slayer?’

Meanwhile, Mike was narrowing his eyes.

He did not mind the full-service announcement. On the contrary, he liked it very much.

After all, achieving a full-service announcement was extremely difficult. He had never experienced this in his former life.

Although he did not want to attract too much attention in the real world, he did not mind being famous in the game as it could bring him a lot of benefits!

Soon, in the midst of everyone’s discussion, Mike posted a trading post in the forum.

The content of the trading post was 90 excellent iron ores with a price tag of 9,000 federation coins.

1 excellent iron ore for 100 federation coins!

Nonetheless, Mike’s monthly expenses were only 150 federation coins.

Although Mike’s poor living conditions contributed to it, students from ordinary families had to spend at least 600 federation coins a month.

In other words, these 90 excellent iron ores were essentially the annual expenses of an 18-year-old student.

90 iron ores, even if it was of excellent quality, was it really worth that much?

The answer was yes!

That was because this was a new region!

…

Ever since the server updated a few decades ago, a new region had appeared in Second World.

Every year, at 11:59 pm on December 30th, the new region would merge with the big region.

The following day, at 12:00 am on December 31st, a new region would appear.

New players of Second World would first enter the new zone. They would only enter the big region on December 30th of the second year.

If someone logged into Second World for the first time on the 30th of December, they would enter the new region. However, the next day, they would enter the big region.

No one knew why Second World suddenly did this, but it was good for the beginners.

Because new players like them would not need to compete with seasoned players!

This was also why the federation wanted all new 18-year-old players to log in on December 31st.

This was a protection mechanism for new players.

Hence, everyone followed willingly as it was beneficial to them.

In this game, the competition was quite cruel. After all, almost all the humans in the world were playing Second World. Where there were people, there would be conflicts of interest.

In the big region, almost every corner of the map had people fighting for resources. The various large guilds controlled many rules.

If new players directly entered the big region, they would not have the chance to survive at all.

The new server simply gave new players a one-year buffering period to increase their strength

To Mike, this was a great thing.

Because of this, Mike was sure that his iron ore could be sold for a sky-high price.

After all, the new server was very poor!

These were all new players. Everyone entered the game today, starting from the first level.

Absolutely no one could have such resources.

The rarer the item, the more precious it was. If the supply did not meet the demand, then it would be precious!

In the game Second World, there was an auction house and a trading system.

However, as mentioned earlier, the new server was very poor.

Everyone only had a few copper coins on them. Those who had silver coins were considered rich.

Of course, Mike would not trade in the game. After all, the currency in the new server depreciated very quickly. Exchanging iron for a few silver coins would not benefit Mike.

Using federation coins to trade was the most cost-effective way.

As for the Second World forum, it was naturally the best place to trade.

If anyone had precious items to sell, selling them in the forum would be their primary choice.

The buyer would make a direct payment in the forum, and then money would be directly transferred to the seller’s account. It was foolproof.

Moreover, the items sold by the seller would automatically be sent to the buyer’s backpack or warehouse.

No one knew how it was done, but Second World itself was mysterious and magical enough. It was not too surprising that it could do such incredible things.

Just as Mike walked out of the mine, he received a notification.

His 90 iron ores had been successfully sold, and there were many people who recognized the goods.

After all, these 90 excellent iron ores might be able to create decent equipment, enough for a new player to get through the early stages.

Mike opened the package and took a look. Sure enough, there were only 10 iron ores left in his backpack.

Done!

In the following days, Mike could finally live a good life in the real world through the profits in the game.

It would only get better in the future!

In the game, Mike went to the blacksmith shop in the novice village and delivered 10 excellent iron ores. Because the quality of the iron ores was excellent, the blacksmith gave him double the reward.

Mike leveled up once again, reaching level 11. At the same time, he also learned two new skills, Smelting and Forging.

However, he would not be able to use this skill for the time being. Low-level equipment that was forged would be quickly eliminated, so he decided to continue leveling up.

There was no point in staying in the novice village anymore. He immediately set off for the City of Light.

What he was unaware of was that in the real world, the ID God Slayer had caused a huge uproar on the internet!
