Lin Bai’s face was filled with displeasure.
Why can’t I set up a stall?
Just as he was setting up his stall, a few players saw him and ran over.
Lin Bai thought that his business was about to start, but he did not expect that this group of people would actually ask him to quickly put away his things. “You’re one of the top players in Azure City, aren’t you? You can’t embarrass us Azure City players. Look, which other famous player would set up a stall?”
Lin Bai pressed down on the stall. His temper was coming up. What did it have to do with setting up a stall?
He also took out a few subdued beasts that could be used by Beastmasters from his bag and placed them on the stall.
In other words, what was wrong with him being self-reliant?
But the players were not happy.
Zhang Tao came over to negotiate with him. “I’ve calculated for you. Just the advertising fees of the Golden Tadpole Financial Group alone should have given you at least a few hundred million in real money, right?”
“Yeah, why?”
Zhang Tao was speechless. “You’re already so rich. Why are you still selling these small items? Of course, I don’t deny that these things are very useful. However, the problem is that you not only represent your own face, but also the face of the Warrior class. You also represent the face of Azure City. If you set up a stall, what would other people think?”
“What’s wrong with me earning my own living?” Lin Bai said. “Who’s laughing at me? Go and block me in the wilderness. What’s wrong with saying a few strange words behind my back?!”
Zhang Tao had no choice but to shout for the manager of the Violet Cloud Guild on the citywide channel.
Do you still care? The head of your guild actually came out to set up a stall!
Look at how many players in the world channel are mocking us Xia Country players.
People say that the people of Xia are poor and only deserve to eat in the cracks of rocks, do you understand?
“We’re one of the few forces now. What will the officials think if you do this? People will think that our country can’t afford to raise geniuses who fight for the country’s honor!” Even the enemy Fighting League’s master, Leng Wuqing, came to persuade him.
Lin Bai looked at him and showed him the Double EXP Pill.

Leng Wuqing felt helpless.
This was definitely the work of that genius alchemist, Su Ling’er.
This was a good thing. Every year, a large number of new players entered the world game. Moreover, after the SSS mode was activated, a new level might appear. The Double EXP Pill was a rare item for everyone.
But the problem was, how much did a Double EXP Pill cost?
At most, it would only cost a few dozen yuan. How much would 200 cost?
Who are you? How can you sell such cheap things?
“Why don’t we help you get a window in the trading hall or auction house and you can entrust the item to them!” Leng Wuqing pleaded, “I don’t have any other intentions. I’m begging you not to embarrass Azure City. What you’re doing is not good for anyone.”
However, a shocking scene soon happened in Azure City.
[Citywide Channel/Lin Dao (Violet Cloud Guild): F*ck, I thought I was embarrassing myself by setting up a stall to buy some things. If the Almighty isn’t afraid of embarrassing himself, then what am I afraid of? It just so happens that there are some things here that the guild doesn’t need. I’ll sell them.]
[Citywide Channel/Don’t Run, Give Me a Shot (Violet Cloud Guild): I have some broken crystals here, but no one in the guild wants them. I’ll take them over and sell them. Where is the Almighty setting up his stall? Let’s come over, together]
[Citywide Channel…]
The players of the Violet Cloud Guild went crazy. They all rushed to the stall.
More and more onlookers ran over to take a closer look. Good heavens, the entire guild was here.
The guild leader, Twinkle, set up a stall next to Lin Bai. There were a few pieces of equipment thrown on it. They did not know where she had gone, but there was only a poodle left on the stall to watch.
The world’s number one Assassin, Shadow, also set up a stall next to it. There were hundreds of daggers on it, and some of them were daggers used by female Assassins.
Also, Shangguan Mengchen, Zhang Qianyun, Jin Meng…
It was as if they had agreed to make a fool of themselves. No matter who they were, they did not display anything valuable and only used cheap materials to set up their stalls.
What happened to them?
“They’re supporting Lin Bai in doing this. The atmosphere of this guild is good.” Some high-level players came over and shook their heads when they saw this. However, they reminded them in their own guild and friend channel, [Don’t laugh at them. They’re going against foreigners and those nobodies in Xia Country. They’re showing their true attitude.]
They understood!
But they didn’t need to take out those things that didn’t come out much, right?
Who said that?
Groups of players with limited talent immediately ran over when they heard that it was someone from the Violet Cloud Guild who was setting up a stall.
No one could refuse good things at a low price.
A few brothers who were not dressed very well came over to take a look at Lin Bai’s stall and said, “There are some medicinal herbs that we can use for our next move. Hurry up and buy some. We can go and forge our own equipment together.”
Lin Bai raised his eyes and took a look. Oh, it was a poor brother.
He immediately changed the price to 20% off for items that cost a few thousand gold coins, and 50% off for items that cost a few thousand gold coins.
Other than consumables such as potions, almost all equipment had a 50% discount.
“Lin Bai, you’re at a disadvantage. Your price is already several times lower than the auction house’s, and it just so happens that we can use it. Return the price and we’ll buy it all.” The poor brother was very ambitious.
“If I want to make money, I’ll look for those rich people. We poor people can’t cheat the poor.”
Zhang Tao stood at the side and watched for a long time before he finally reacted.
He immediately shouted, “Lin Bai, your price is too low. The auction house will be unhappy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss of Azure City’s auction house, who was said to have the support of a joint venture consortium, ran over with dozens of people and shouted, “Lin Bai, do you want to disturb the market prices? If you sell things so cheaply, what will happen to our auction house?” “It’s none of my business whether you love me or not.” Lin Bai rolled his eyes. “Don’t look for trouble. Be careful, I’ll put your auction house’s name on it starting tomorrow.”
The boss was amused. “If you do this, I’ll thank your ancestors.”
“Guess how I’ll write your advertising slogan?” Lin Bai raised his middle finger. “Get lost!”
The boss picked up the axe in his hand and threatened the rest of the guild. “What are you doing? What do you all want? Don’t you know who I am? Disperse. You’re not allowed to set up a stall here, or else…”
“Why don’t we start a war against Azure City’s auction house?” Twinkle put her hands in her pockets and strolled over like a manly woman. She looked at the aggressive auction house staff and sneered.
“Agreed!”
“Add me!”
“Fight them!”
The entire area was filled with the voices of the members of the Violet Cloud Guild.
Lin Bai had not suffered much in the auction house, but who else had not suffered much in the auction house?
Moreover, just now, a group of people from the guild had been scammed by the auction house.
The pit was very tragic..
