Xie Mingzhe got up at 7:00am the next morning, logging into the game before the other boosters got up.

After entering the game, he went directly to the study and made the latest version of [Lin Daiyu] before testing the waters by selling at auction.

There weren't many players online in the morning, even the square on Aquarius was empty. Walking into the auction house, Xie Mingzhe found the management center on the second floor. The arrangement of the center was similar to that of the business hall in the bank. There were more than a dozen service windows, and at each of them there was a girl sitting in a professional suit. Within the game, they were considered to be smart NPCs, providing relevant service to the players.

There were several players who got up early, conducting business at the windows. Xie Mingzhe went to a free window and sat down just like the others did, the girl NPC smiling immediately, saying, "h.e.l.lo, what can I do for you?"

"I want to sell this card by auction, what do I need to do?" Xie Mingzhe handed his [Lin Daiyu] to the girl.

The NPC showed him a form on the screen, saying, "Please read the auction procedures carefully. You can ask me if you have any questions."

The auction procedure:

The player needs to put his/her products or stores in the trust of the auction center and set the starting price and the minimum purchase price;If the products or stores are approved, they will be put into the queue, waiting to be auctioned. The system will send a notification of the auction time;If the products or stores are sold, the auction house will take 10% of the purchase price as a processing fee. During the trusteeship period, the auction house will take 500 gold everyday as the management fee.

Xie Mingzhe understood the procedures, except for the second one. He was confused, thinking aloud, "Why do the products need to wait in queue to be sold?"

"Because there are too many players selling their products and stores by auction; the time and number of products and stores to be sold are limited in each auction."

Xie Mingzhe nodded, saying, "OK. How long do I have to wait?"

"For cards, you will have to wait for about three days."

Xie Mingzhe continued to ask, "Are there any reference ranges for price setting?"

The NPC replied, "Your card is a one-star card. The reference range of the starting price of a one-star card is 100-500 gold, and the reference range of the minimum purchase price of a one-star card last week was 1000-5000 gold. You can set your ideal starting price and minimum purchase price."

Thinking about it for a while, Xie Mingzhe typed the price into the transparent box in front of him: Starting price: 3000 gold, the minimum purchase price: 30,000 gold.

The NPC warned him, "The starting price is much higher than the purchase price of a one-star card in the system, your card may go unsold. Are you sure?"

Xie Mingzhe pressed the confirm b.u.t.ton without hesitation.

It didn't matter. He just wanted to know how much he could earn if he sold the card alone.

Now that he knew that the cultural background of this world was different from that of Earth, and the instant death skill effects had been added to the database not long ago, he was sure that this [Lin Daiyu] card would be sold at a high price. If this card sold well, he would make dozens of the same cards and open a store.

Opening a store had been his wish since the first time he saw the Auction House selling shops. His wish would soon be fulfilled.

Xie Mingzhe quickly completed the form and submitted the card.

“Please wait for the system to review…”

After a while, a line appeared on the LCD screen in front of Xie Mingzhe, "The card [Lin Daiyu] you entrusted to the Auction House has pa.s.sed the review and has joined the action queue. The card is expected to be auctioned on August 8th, 8:00pm. Please confirm.”

After pressing the "Yes" b.u.t.ton, Xie Mingzhe happily went offline.

Brother Chen just came down the stairs when he saw Xie Mingzhe taking off his helmet. He wondered, “Xiao Xie, why did you enter the game so early?”

Xie Mingzhe smiled, saying, “I wanted to study the game. I've just started playing, so there are still many things that I don't understand.”

Brother Chen came over and patted his shoulder, encouraging him, “Don't worry. It's awesome of you to catch up with the others in just a few days. Many people find it difficult to control the seven-star cards, but you manipulate [Storm G.o.ddess] and [Ice G.o.ddess] easily.”

Xie Mingzhe was stunned, “Is it difficult to control the seven-star cards?” He thought it was cool to use the seven-star cards because their skills were accurate and flexible. He thought everyone had the same feeling.

Brother Chen smiled and lit a cigarette, saying, “That is the difference between a professional player and a normal player. This game has a high demand for the Inner Spirit. The seven-star cards are difficult to control, especially in the compet.i.tion where players need to control a lot of cards and their thoughts will be in a whirl. Since you can already easily control seven-star cards, when you're familiar with the game you can try to compete with others in the Arena or some local leagues. Are you interested? "

Xie Mingzhe scratched the back of his head, he didn't know if Brother Chen had said this intentionally or not, so he answered, "Let's talk about it later. I will provide good boosting services first… By the way, when will the girl who asked for leave to get married be back?”

“She will be back after her honeymoon,” Brother Chen said. “She will definitely be back before you start school.”

“OK.” Both Xie Mingzhe's and Brother Chen's plans wouldn't be delayed. Xie Mingzhe was ready to resign this month and let the girl make up for his vacancy.

At this time, Chi Qing, Pang Yu and Jin Yue also came downstairs. Everyone had breakfast together. At 8:00am, they logged into the game and went directly to clear the instance with Brother Chen.
