Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Purchase Function of The Exchange

"Wow, look! Brother You, you’re on TV." Seeing the scrolling text appearing above her field of vision, Jiucaier exclaimed in amazement and then looked puzzled. "Why aren’t we showing up though?"

"That’s because the total damage output from all of you combined isn’t as much as mine." Chu You explained casually.

"Why did you leave the group just now? If you didn’t, we would be on TV now too," Jiucaier sounded a bit disappointed.

"We were forming a group with Sister Yan, to let her leech some experience." Lin Luor explained.

"Don’t worry. There’ll be plenty of other chances. This is just a local announcement...it’s nothing significant..." Chu You replied lightly, then walked over to the equipment dropped by the boss.

Chu You had done this on purpose, in order to level up Zhao Feiyan. After leaving the group, the boss’s experience and equipment drops would go to whoever had done the most damage.

After Lin Luor invited Zhao Feiyan to join them, thanks to the damage dealt by Killing Commander and Jiucaier, the group-experience calculation also included Zhao Feiyan.

Why hadn’t they invited Zhao Feiyan to join from the start?

If they had done so, the group system would have ruled Zhao Feiyan out for experience sharing from the start; she was only level 10, while Chu You was already level 20.

After Chu You left the group and Zhao Feiyan was invited again, the group system recalculated the experience, because Chu You’s damage had already been calculated separately from the group’s, so there was no cause-and-effect relationship between him and the newly-invited Zhao Feiyan.

Actually, there were two ways to calculate who the boss belonged to: first, the damage each player inflicted on the boss; second, who dealt the final blow. The player who landed the last hit would get an extra 25% points.

So, when it came to securing a boss, it all came down to maximizing the 100% total points obtainable by damage dealt to the boss. If an A-Rank player obtained 60% points, they might think they are on the winning side, but if a B-Rank player delivers the final strike, then the B-rank player’s 40% points plus an additional 25% would take the priority, allowing them to secure the boss drop. And if an A-Rank player had a killing quest related to that boss, they would not be able to complete it.

Unfortunately, even though Jiucaier landed the last hit on the boss and gained an additional 25% points, their combined output still did not match up to Chu You’s. If we were to calculate it with the method mentioned above, 68% points earnings from Nightmare demon went to Chu You. This clearly showed how high Chu You’s total damage output was.

The moment the boss died, the system determined Chu You as the owner of the boss loot.

And as for the experience, similarly, it was calculated using a total of 125%.

Jiucaier’s team accounted for 57% of the boss’s total experience which was shared among the four members according to their levels. If their levels were all the same, then the experience would be divided equally!

"Haha, thanks for the care, big boss." Zhao Feiyan said, smiling at Chu You. She hadn’t asked why she hadn’t been invited to join earlier. Who was Night Ghost? There was no need to ask more.

Chu You didn’t reply, rather he was looking at the loot dropped by the Nightmare demon. Altogether, there were nine items scattered on the ground.

Fighting field bosses was always rewarding: among other things, they dropped skill books.

Chu You picked up the skill book first and discovered that it contained a skill a healing priest could learn.

’Last Breath of Life’ (Rank 4 skill): Exchange current health points with magic reserve. Instant cast. Profession required: Healing Priest. Skill level: 15. Cooldown: 3 minutes. Type: Non-upgradable.

This was quite a useful skill. Chu You knew that after using this skill, healers would be in a near-death state, with almost 0% health. Even 1 point of damage could kill them.

Usually, healers would heal themselves to maximum health first before executing this skill. This way, they could exchange their maximum health points to get the maximum magic reserve.

After keeping the skill book, Chu You picked up a schematic from the ground. With it, he could now set up a temporary resurrection point for his team!

"Well, well, we are quite lucky this time. We even got a Black Diamond Grade weapon." A longsword lay on the ground. Even without checking the details, Chu You knew it was a weapon wielded by a Sorcerer Swordsman, the very class Zhao Feiyan had picked.

Also on the ground was a piece of letter. Upon seeing it, Chu You narrowed his eyes. The only possible purpose of this item would be to trigger a hidden quest.

He unfolded it to find that it was an S-Rank hidden quest and immediately put it away.

In addition to these, the rest of the items were one piece of Platinum gear, a Viscount rank weapon, and a few Viscount items.

After Chu You collected all the items, he approached Zhao Feiyan, took out the Black Diamond Grade weapon, and handed it to her: "Here, this is for you."

When Zhao Feiyan took over this weapon, Chu You couldn’t help but recall the heroic legacy Zhao Feiyan obtained in his previous life, that of a hero who wielded a sword.

’The sword is unsheathed, the sword intent is like a blue rainbow’!

"This is a skill book for you." He handed the skill book to Lin Luor.

"Alright..." Just as Chu You was about to suggest a retreat, the Killing Commander timely said: "The skill book for you is still with me, I forgot about it earlier."

Uh, Chu You looked at the Killing Commander in surprise, it seems like that was indeed the case.

You can’t blame the Killing Commander for this. After numerous battles and rushing around all the way, Chu You had directly initiated the BOSS fight as soon as they arrived, making the Killing Commander forget about it until he saw Chu You give Lin Luor the skill book.

He immediately took it. This was a third-tier skill book, and also a single-target control skill for the Star Warrior, ’Knockdown with One Hit’: it inflicts 367 physical damage to the target and instantly knocks down the opponent.

"Everyone, return to the city now. I’ll have you on TV again later!" After saying that, Chu You was the first to use the Guild Return Teleportation Skill because he had many other things to do.

Upon arriving at the City Above the Clouds, the first thing Chu You did was to post his equipment, along with enhancement stones, low-grade auxiliary materials, magic stones, and such that he didn’t need, on his own guild’s exchange. He set the prices lower than what others had posted for similar items. Why? Because Chu You had large supplies, which made his prices more attractive.

Chu You then selected the purchase option, which is a new feature unique to the Level Six Exchange.

System: Would you like to unlock this function?

Chu You immediately agreed, and two major options appeared on the exchange interface. One was a selling option on the left, and the other was a purchase option on the right!

What is a purchase? It means specifying what items you need, posting the item names, and setting a purchase price. You set how much you would pay for one item and how many you need.

System: You are the owner of the exchange. Please set the handling fee for posting purchase information by players!

Seven types of equipment and items appeared in front of Chu You in the Celestial World. He set the handling fee for ordinary items at four silver coins. The fee for one ordinary-grade item was four silver coins. If a player set it to buy 20 items, then Chu You would collect a fee of 80 silver coins from him.

For the Viscount Level, Chu You set it at 20 silver coins, Red Viscount Level: 50 silver coins, Platinum Level: 5 Gold coins, Black Diamond Grade: 50 Gold coins, Master Level: 200 Gold coins, Sacred Level: 1000 Gold coins.

Chu You knew that the items with the highest profit margin would be those of Viscount and Red Viscount level.

Later, Chu You posted the purple sand powder, and immediately received a system prompt: The purchase of this item name is correct.

This means the item name is correct, and if the name is wrong, you can’t post the information.

Then, Chu You set the purchase price for a grain of purple gold sand powder at 100 Gold coins! Purchase quantity: 20 grains.

Immediately, the 2000 Gold coins on Chu You became stored in this purchase information.

In his previous life, a grain of purple gold sand powder was not worth 100 Gold coins, but who is Chu You? To save time and gather this item as quickly as possible, Chu You increased the price significantly.

This purple gold sand powder is used to upgrade Chu You’s sacred level boots, which are already at level 20, meeting the level requirement. Chu You has met the upgrade requirements through his North American mission. Now he just lacks this item.

This item can only be obtained by gatherer players, so Chu You had no other choice.

The purchase quantity means that even if a gatherer player gets a few grains of purple gold sand powder, he can still trade with Chu You on this purchase information. For example, if he has five grains, after trading, the system will show that the original purchase quantity of 20 grains has become 15 grains!

If you want to withdraw, you can do so, and the money stored inside will be returned to the original owner, but the handling fee will not be refunded.

After doing all this, some of Chu You’s coins were deducted as handling fees by the exchange, but since he owns the exchange, the money went around the exchange and eventually returned to Chu You’s pocket.

Chu You believed that an exchange with the purchase function would further enhance its competitiveness, and from then on, he would be rolling in wealth!
