What Li Yao wanted to do was simple, he would buy a bunch of important resources and then manipulate the price of these items.

Of course, these were not necessities in any immediate sense.

After all, virtual gaming had evolved over many years, and many large vendors and guilds had their own strategies and analysts.

For instance, the Lv. 10 dungeon Evil Cave, not only guilds but also many veteran players had already gathered lots of information on this dungeon.

According to these data, they inferred that items like Shadow Resistance Potions, Night Vision Potions (as some races have poor night vision), and Intermediate Healing Potions were necessities.

There were too many such items to monopolize, and those guilds and merchant guilds which had undertaken such analysis would most certainly have ample reserves. Therefore, these weren’t lucrative opportunities.

Of course, making small profits was possible. However, Li Yao wasn’t interested in small change.

After coming back to life, Li Yao intended to monopolize, or at least engage in highly profitable, competition-free businesses.

For example, this time Li Yao set his sights on a special product – the Shining Fruit.

It was a by-product of herbal gathering, and upon being thrown into the air, it floated for a few seconds, emitting a soft glow.

Beyond this, players hadn’t discovered other uses for it.

However, Li Yao knew very well that though Shining Fruits were not deemed valuable, they were necessary for crafting Flash Grenades.

The application wasn’t widespread, and Li Yao intended to capitalize on the Shining Fruits to make a big profit.

Despite the Shining Fruit not being a necessity when raiding Lv.10 dungeons, nor being effective in ordinary or elite dungeons, it does provide special assistance in Master-level or above Evil Cave runs.

Li Yao intended to start stockpiling Shining Fruits, flaunt their value during the carnival after the Lv. 10 dungeon launch, then make a fortune.

With such money, he could set up his guild without worrying about initial funds. He might have more than a hundred Gold Coins, but it wasn’t enough to run a guild.

Since Shining Fruits were regarded by players as ornamental items for entertainment, although their supply was low, their price was still very low.

The price was so low that a pile of two hundred was sold for about three Silver Coins, and even shops only sold them for a Copper Coin each, two Silver Coins for a pile of two hundred.

Adding the Auction House’s fee, you don’t actually make much. Li Yao bought four hundred piles at the cost of just four Gold Coins.

The prices of the remaining fruits were too high, and the quantities were scattered. There’s only a dozen or so piles over multiple pages of auction listings, not worth stocking up, better to wait for new supply.

He also needed to rent additional warehouse floors to store these items.

Suddenly, Li Yao thought of the Light Faction, he hit his forehead and contacted Zhao Lei.

“In a while, I’ll send fifty Gold Coins to your neutral account. Help me buy some stuff in the Auction House.

“No problem, fifty Gold Coins, big spender eh, planning a big move?” Zhao Lei immediately agreed without giving it a second thought.

“Yep, a big deal, if you will. I’ll send an email with instructions, just do as directed,” Li Yao continued: “We’ll split whatever we earn in half.”

“C’mon, what are you talking about? You’re rewarding me for helping, how do you see me?” Zhao Lei instantly flared up.

“Please, it’s professional courtesy, are you really getting worked up over this?” Li Yao was helpless.

“Fuck, I had an elite mission, and you helped without saying anything. I needed equipment and you directly gave me yours, did I ever give you a Copper Coin?

And now, you reward me for this small thing, you’re really something.” Zhao Lei continued ranting: “Now that you’re ‘god-like’, do you want to draw a line between us?”

“Alright, alright, is it necessary? Fine, no splitting the profits then. I’ll treat you to a meal next time we meet.” hurriedly interrupted.

“That’s more like it. I’m going to make you pay through your nose for that meal, you… good for nothing.” Zhao Lei muttered: “Rest assured, I’ll do as per your strategy, I won’t mess things up.”

“Alright, then.”

Li Yao disconnected, shaking his head with a bitter smile. This Zhao Lei.

Li Yao then contacted Gloomy Grape, but Gloomy Grape thought Li Yao was selling Blue Equipment and became wildly excited.

Li Yao hurriedly interrupted his wild fantasies, telling him to send that amount in Gold Coins to Zhao Lei. Then he sent over Zhao Lei’s game ID.

Though disappointed, Gloomy Grape agreed without hesitation and took Li Yao’s letter of authorization. If he sent the money to someone else without it, and Li Yao didn’t acknowledge it, he’d be in deep trouble.

Having sorted everything out, Li Yao logged off to rest. When he logged back in during the night game time, he began crafting ammunition. Everything was great about being an Engineer Hunter.

The only problem was the cost, it was very expensive. Ordinary players who went down the path of being an Engineer Hunter were for sure heading towards bankruptcy.

“Big Brother, what are you busy with, why not take us leveling up?

Clumsy Pupil messaged Li Yao privately the next day.

“You guys are almost level 10, what help do you need? Besides, I don’t want to be live-streamed again.” Li Yao said helplessly.

“Just kidding, but I feel so bored. Elite quests can only proceed at level 10 ahhhh… we have to take some weaklings and noobs every day. Sister Xiayao mentioned privately that it’s so annoying that she won’t livestream after reaching level 10.”

“Yeah, livestreaming is not that useful.” Li Yao replied while heading towards the bat: “Okay, I also need to complete some tasks.”

“Are you preparing for Carnival’s competition?”

“Yes, not just the competition. Also preparing for raiding the Lv.10 dungeon. So you also need to level up. Don’t let the Carnival begin when you’re still below level 10.” Li Yao teased.

“How could that be? The information from Sister Xiayao is reliable, I must be in the top 10.” Clumsy Pupil huffed: “Anyway, I won’t talk anymore, you look down on me. Wait till I take a spot in the top 10, then we’ll see what you say. Oh right, Sister Xiayao said, see you at the carnival.”

“Okay, got it.” Li Yao ended the call.

Since Li Yao already had a rank, albeit just a non-commissioned officer, he had qualified for air transport.

Li Yao directly chose to fly to the Hinterlands, where there is a small town of the Dark Camp.

There were still a few days left before the Carnival, and top players were generally at Lv. 9 on their way to Lv. 10. wanted to prepare a bit and do some things.

His plan was to get a handy Flying Wheel. He could make it himself, but the quality was too poor.

In addition, there was a somewhat rare blueprint in the Hinterlands. If time allowed, Li Yao would look for new Mechanical Pet blueprints.

Fire Eagle might be strong, but there were terrains it wasn’t suitable for, like caves, where it was practically useless. Now, Li Yao needed a ground Mechanical Pet that could act as a shield.

After more than half a day, he arrived at Quel’Danil Lodge in the afternoon.

This was a High Elf outpost located halfway up a peak, by a beautiful lakeside.

In the Elvish language, Quel’Danil meant ‘high peak’.

This outpost was built by a group of peaceful people after disaster…
