Of course it was a loss! If you sold it to me, I would have paid 20 million!


Shen Wansan could say whatever he wanted. He wasn’t worried that this player would take out another Legendary item for him. For an ordinary player like this, finding a Legendary equip was a lucky event that would happen once every 100 years.

The reason he said that was to provoke him into thinking badly of the first buyer, so that he could implement his plan.

Shen Wansan was an old-fashioned but cunning businessman. Even another businessman like Tweedle Dummy couldn’t withstand him, let alone some ordinary player.

20 million!

The player was deeply shocked at the thought. He initially thought that he had benefited by selling it for 12 million when it was only worth 8, but he didn’t expect that someone was willing to pay 20 million.


I… I’m going to get the equipment back!
Happy Fountain exclaimed indignantly.

Shen Wansan started to sweat a little at that thought. If he really asked Glory Capital for the equipment back or for the extra money, the gig was up. He quickly pulled Happy Fountain aside and said,
Bro, do you still remember who you sold it to?



Of course! I sold it to Glory Capital!



Do you know that Glory Capital is one of the biggest guilds in the gaming circle. You’ve sold it to them, but now you want it back? Are you still asleep!?
Shen Wansan chided.

Happy Fountain felt frustrated.


Bro, this is life and it would be better if you just lived with it,
Shen Wansan said regretfully,
But since I can’t buy it, can I at least know about the equipment? I’m curious as to why he gave such a low price.



Its attributes weren’t even bad. It had a special effect…


Happy Fountain was just about to reveal it when he suddenly stopped and said,
No, I had an agreement with him. I can’t reveal its attributes.



Bro, they ripped you off and you are still defending them?
Shen Wansan questioned in a puzzled tone.
How about this – I am quite curious about Legendary equipment, so if you send me its attributes, I’ll give you 1000 gold coins. Even if I can’t buy it, knowing its attributes is not bad either.


Would anyone really believe that?

But Happy Fountain seemed to believe it.

In fact, if Shen Wansan had taken out 10,000 gold coins, then Happy Fountain might have felt suspicious. But since it was just 1000 gold coins and he had represented himself as a rich man who was willing to pay 20 million for the Legendary equipment, paying some money to know the equipment’s attributes seemed to make sense to him.

There was no doubt in Happy Fountain’s mind, unlike Tweedle Dummy who suspected Shen Wansan.

Since Shen Wansan had said that the equipment was worth 20 million and Glory Capital had

only given him 12 million, he now also felt a sense of resentment towards them.

As such, Shen Wansan managed to find out about the equipment’s attributes for just 1000 gold coins.

In fact, Glory Capital’s price of 12 million dollars was not low. Money was a resource they had plenty of, so they wouldn’t attempt tricks like that, but Happy Fountain didn’t know that. When people bought things, they would always think that they had paid too much but when people sold things, they would always think that they had sold it for too little.

Shen Wansan’s third target was a Mercenary Group.

Shen Wansan still didn’t dare to reveal his face, so it remained concealed as he spoke to the Mercenary Group’s leader.


This is 10,000 gold deposit for you if you tell me the equipment’s attributes. I promise to protect your group as well.



Hahaha, are you Ruling Sword or Drizzle Court? Let me guess – Water Fairy wouldn’t pull tricks like this, so you are probably from Ruling Sword.


Tiger Temperament was clearly a smart person as he easily guessed where Shen Wansan had come from.


Brother, you have overestimated. I am just a businessman, an ordinary businessman.


Tiger Temperament shook his head and poked fun at him.


Even if you offered 1 million gold coins, I wouldn’t say anything, let alone 10,000 gold coins. Our reputation is more important than our bottom line. The door is over there. I will pretend nothing happened today. I wish that Ruling Sword would beat Glory Capital in the final. In fact, I am a big fan of Lu Li, who is an epic character in our Mercenary community.


Shen Wansan knew that he was caught here. This person was clearly not one to talk nonsense, and had resolved himself to not reveal the equipment’s attributes.

There were a few more people that Shen Wansan spoke to. Some were businessmen while others were ordinary players. He carefully contacted them and made some successe, but also had his share of failures. Soon, he had six screenshots of equipment attributes in his possession.


Shen bro, you’ve been working hard, especially if you have the results already.


Lu Li was very satisfied with Shen Wansan’s working efficiency. If he was to do it himself, he probably wouldn’t even be 10% as efficient.

Shen Wansan shook his head with a bitter smile.


I don’t know if these will be useful or not, but these were the ones I could get. According to my information, Glory Capital received 20-30 equips during this time. I only dared to contact about ten of these sellers, and could not even get a success rate of 50%. Moreover, some of the sellers are likely to disclose our actions to Glory Capital.



I understand what you mean, but we can’t avoid that. This is better than nothing.


There were six equips. Three of them were Epic and three of them Legendary.

If you followed this ratio, that meant that of Glory Capital’s thirty equips, there might be at least 10 Legendary items. Lu Li took a deep breath as began to understand Glory Capital’s power.


There is no need to be frustrated. As we steadily develop, we will eventually gain power like this.


Shen Wansan was worried that Lu Li’s mentality might be affected, so he comforted him.
We have only been established for a year, but Glory Capital has been around for a hundred years. We haven’t sold ourselves out either. All the achievements so far have been because of our own hard work. If we look at gaming history, no one is comparable to us.



Relax Shen bro, I just need to work hard to make sure everything is done right. Whatever happens after that is not something I can control.


Lu Li and Moonlight then called a small meeting to analyse Glory Capital’s style of play based on the information they had received. They could now also develop some targeted countermeasures.

They also had some equipment that they had selected for the tournament. Some were from Ruling Sword’s players, while others were gathered specifically for the match. There were even pieces that had been offered by their allies for their use during the matches. Lu Li and the others were allowed to use all that equipment whenever they needed it for the match.

Since they were all allied, they shared the same interests. If they had strong allies, then the help they received would be even more effective.
