“We have a piece of news. The typhoon, ‘Poseidon’, is about to hit the southeastern coastline. It is expected to arrive in Shanghai tomorrow.”
“Shanghai Meteorological Station issued a storm-red warning that forced water to continue throughout our city. Experts predicted that this could be the most serious natural disaster ever since 1964. Typhoons could trigger floods and mountainous geological disasters…”
“Residents of this city, please reduce unnecessary outings, close the doors and windows and take precautions…”
Chen Feng watched the news expressionlessly and placed his phone on the table.
Now, the country has an Evolutionary Academy.
Furthermore, the multi-talented players were specially protected.
At the beginning of the ten consecutive draws, there was a chance that they would end up with nothing , which meant that some people did not even have the weakest F Class talent.
This was especially true for those who had failed to acquire anything for their first and second talents. They had to wait until they reached Level 10 or above before they could truly awaken.
Before this, they were just ordinary people with attribute points.
But if these people had potential, they would receive special protection from countries, governments, or unions.
In his previous life, Chen Feng had heard of a player.
From the first talent all the way to the eighth talent, four came up empty handed, and four were Class E and F.
Logically speaking, this kind of person had already lost the possibility of becoming an expert forever.
However, his ninth talent was Grade A talent [Supersonic Blessing], and his tenth talent was the terrifying SSS talent [Supersonic Control].
Therefore, this person was specially recruited into the Evolutionary Academy and protected.
Even though he was very weak, once he reached level 80, he would become one of the top players with his SSS talent.
However, it was a pity that when Chen Feng was reborn, he was only level 50. He was still far from awakening his talent.
“Ten…”
Chen Feng mumbled.
His gaming experience was far richer than anyone else. Even the Chosen Ones of the four great guilds could not compare to him.
So Chen Feng knew very well that level 10 was a great divider.
Because at level 10, every player had to undergo a Class Advancement besides awakening their third talent.
They had to choose a class based on the direction that you are best at.
To a large extent, this would determine a player’s future path and fate.
…
Picking up an umbrella, Chen Feng walked out of the house.
The typhoon, ‘Poseidon’ was going to hit the land and cause damage tomorrow.
In other people’s eyes, this was probably just a normal natural disaster. At most, it was more powerful and destructive.
But Chen Feng knew that this was not just a typhoon.
When the ‘Poseidon’ of the typhoon landed, it would also open the [Typhoon Mystic Realm] caverns.
Danger and opportunity coexisted in the catacombs.
Therefore, Chen Feng had to raise his strength as soon as possible. This [Typhoon Mystic Realm] might be a good opportunity for him to level up.
He walked into the train station near his home.
He took the Shanghai Metro Line 10 all the way to the end terminal. It was the biggest Awakened trading center in Shanghai.
This was only the third day the world had been gamified, and there was already such a standardized official trading center.
If there was no sign of that the Four Great Guilds behind this,
Chen Feng would definitely not believe it.
On the empty subway, Chen Feng was alone.
After all, the typhoon was coming tomorrow. It was raining heavily in Shanghai, so no one left the house.
After an hour and a half on the subway, they finally reached the terminal.
After leaving the station, he turned left and walked another five to six hundred meters before he could see the huge Shanghai Stadium.
This was the Awakened Trading Center.
Just as he reached the entrance of the stadium, a security guard stopped Chen Feng.
“Hello, sir. Please register your identity.”
Chen Feng took out his phone and scanned the QR code to register.
The information that needed to be filled in was very simple. It was nothing more than name, age, address, ID number to confirm the information.
After registering, the trading center would give each person a unique code.
The person who had this code would be able to do online trading on the phone app in the future, and he would not have to come to the trading center personally.
Perhaps it was because of the weather.
There were not many people in the trade.
Chen Feng was led by an assistant to the appraisal counter.
“Hello, what would you like to sell?”
A man in a suit asked politely.
“These two bottles.”
As Chen Feng spoke, he took out some medicine from his backpack and handed it over.
“Please wait a moment.”
The man nodded politely and turned his attention to the potion.
Instantly, shock appeared on his face.
“This are… EXP Potions!”
Initially, he thought that this might be a strength potion or energy potion that Chen Feng had obtained from the treasure chest.
However, after closer inspection, he realized that they were extremely rare experience potions.
Rare…
Let’s put it this way. Before Chen Feng took out these two bottles of Experience Potions, it had never appeared in the world before.
“Sir… where did you find the potion? Or… are you an alchemist yourself?” the man asked tentatively.
Chen Feng understood that he was trying to sound him out. He coldly replied, “Does it have anything to do with you?”
“Sorry, I asked too much.”
The man quickly apologized, then picked up the potion in his hand and examined it carefully.
“The speed of gaining experience has increased to 500%. What a rare item. Unfortunately, it’s defective and has some side effects…”
After the man finished his appraisal, he registered the information about the two bottles of potions on the global Awakened trading website.
“Do you want to set a price or auction it?”
“Auction.” Chen Feng said without hesitation.
“The starting price…”
“$50,000.”
“Uh… okay.”
After the appraiser was slightly shocked, he thought about it carefully. It seemed reasonable for such a precious medicine to be sold at such a price.
After all, in the early stages of the game, the Four Great Guilds were fighting openly and covertly.
Five times the experience was enough for a player to be far ahead in level.
To normal people, it might not be important.
However, for the Four Great Guilds, this meant that they would be able to take the lead in the early stages of the competition and obtain more resources. This was very important!
Chen Feng also took out his phone and began checking the auction situation on the app.
As expected, once the EXP Potion was put up, it immediately caused a commotion in the trading circle.
In just five minutes, the price went from 50,000 to 200,000.
This was a terrifying number.
After all, this was just a consumable!
Being able to gain 500% experience points within an hour was not a permanent effect. There were even side effects.
The price had already been raised to this extent.
Too ridiculous!
This price had already exceeded Chen Feng’s imagination.
After all, in his previous life, he was just a normal player, so he did not pay much attention to the trade circle. He did not know what the prices of props were in the early stages of the game world.
He knew the price would be high, but he never thought… it would be so ridiculous.
Soon, the price reached $300,000.
Even though it was still growing, it had slowed down considerably.
Chen Feng nodded. From the looks of it, it would only be sold for around $300,000.
He was already very satisfied.
At that moment, the price jumped again!
The bidder seemed to be a Korean ID, and the price he gave directly made Chen Feng’s pupils tremble!
$500,000!
It went from $300,000 straight to $500,000!
Do the money that rich people have get blown to them by the wind?
