Chapter 10: Selling Fake Materials, The Competition Disappears

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Level up!

There were two ways to gain skill experience. One was to absorb the Power of the Universe. Using the skill in a place that contained the Power of the Universe could increase experience.

The other way was to fight monsters. Even in a place without the Power of the Universe, using the skill to fight monsters could generously increase the experience.

Mike had only been using Fireball all this time.

He didn’t have much chance to use Large Fireball and Flash.

The Fireball was the only skill collecting experience.

Before Mike knew it, its experience bar was filled and had leveled up.

Mike looked at the information of the upgraded Fireball.

[Fireball]

[Level 1]

[Single target deals 230% damage, probability of applying ‘Ignite’ on the opponent.]

Originally, the damage was 200%, but it had increased by 30%!

Mike was quite satisfied.

He became even bolder.

To loot a corpse, touching the corpse was required for it to drop high-level materials. EXP, silver coins, tusk fur, and other materials.

Then, there were the key materials.

[Obtained: Colorless Crystal x 3]

[Description: High-level equipment, tools, secret skills, etc. Forging or upgrading generally requires external support. As a general-purpose crystal without any attribute preference, the demand for Colorless Crystals is high. Due to the lack of supply, they are expensive.]

This was the general-purpose material that was mentioned earlier. Although it had only a few descriptive sentences, Mike already felt the importance of these Colorless Crystals.

He looked around for hidden information to understand where Colorless Crystals could be used.

He wasn’t able to use them on equipment for the time being.

It was not worth it to use Colorless Crystals in Level 10 equipment, even if they were purple equipment.

He could not use it on his skills, nor on the furnace either.

But he could use it to upgrade his Silver Class Medal.

However, although the demand was so great, the Colorless Crystals he had were only a drop in the bucket.

He searched and searched.

He did make some progress on the Beginner purification spell.

To level up the Beginner purification spell to Intermediate level, he needed two Colorless Crystals.

However, Mike didn’t have any more materials for the time being. He still needed to fulfill the other half of the Colorless Crystal requirement.

“I can consider upgrading the purification spell now. After upgrading to the Intermediate-Tier, I’ll be able to purify more things and the effect will be better. It’ll be easier for me to trade materials,” Mike said to himself.

He focused on finding the materials needed to upgrade the purification spell instead.

That was because he could see its hidden information.

Mike basically only hunted Exotic Beasts that would drop materials. Of course, it wasn’t difficult to deal with them. The distance wasn’t too far, and the Exotic Beasts that he happened to encounter were easily killed.

No such thing as having too much experience.

And while Mike was busy looking for materials and leveling up, the situation of people from the World Channel and the exchange who were supportive of Trudeau’s pursuit against Mike gradually became problematic.

...

“Trudeau’s Special Materials are too good, and there’s even a 20% discount... Our energy worries are basically solved, Trudeau is our eternal god!”

“In comparison, Mike is a piece of trash. How long has it been? His Trade Market items are still at their original price. He’s just holding on and not lowering the price. It’s disgusting.”

“Let Mike hang on. I want to see which idiot will buy his stuff.”

“It’s all in his hands.”

“He must be losing a lot right now. He doesn’t even dare to show himself.”

“I really want to see Mike cry himself to death, hahaha.”

“I already blocked him from my exchange, I won’t buy anything from him in this lifetime!”

“Mike’s pursuit club has already broken through the threshold of a thousand people. Everyone, quickly join in the future chase for Mike.”

However, among the public opinions that were all mocking and cursing Mike, different voices appeared.

“F*ck! Has anyone encountered a situation like mine? I consumed seven of Trudeau’s Special Materials and was almost poisoned to death!! If I wasn’t lucky and slowly recovered, I would have been dead by now.”

“Almost poisoned to death? Tell me clearly, did you eat Trudeau’s or Mike’s Special Materials? It must be Mike’s, right?”

“Trudeau’s!”

“Bullsh*t! You can tell at first glance that they are Mike’s troll army coming to defame Trudeau.”

“Mike must be really anxious. He even started to pay an army of trolls to play such despicable tricks. It’s hilarious.”

“Troll army? I think that you guys are Trudeau’s troll army! I was also poisoned! I’ve only eaten three stalks and I’ve been poisoned! I’ve never encountered a problem with Mike’s Special Materials.”

“Really?”

“What’s the situation?”

“Aren’t Trudeau’s Special Materials the same as Mike’s?”

The World Channel was in chaos.

It started initially with voices cursing Mike, to the appearance of a small portion of voices denouncing Trudeau, which increased to 30% of the people denouncing Trudeau. Eventually, it led to both sides spitting at each other.

“Trudeau’s Special Materials aren’t reliable at all. Everyone, don’t buy Trudeau’s items anymore!”

“Who doesn’t believe Trudeau’s Special Materials are rubbish? Buy ten of them and eat them together. Let’s see if you are poisoned to death or not! I almost died from eating seven!”

However, these voices were still drowned out by the voices denouncing Mike.

Many people felt that the people who opposed Trudeau had all been paid off by Mike.

After all, Trudeau’s Special Materials were good and cheap. Plus, Trudeau and Mike were having a competitive relationship. Any negative news about Trudeau was naturally associated with Mike.

In this situation, when the Trade Market broadcasted its system announcement, the response began to reverse.

[System Message: Recently, the Trade Market detected the circulation of items named ‘Special Materials’ in the market. Because there are a lot of unknown things in the game, the Trade Market is unable to have perfect supervision. We noticed that there are two different ‘Special Materials’ in the market. One of them is sold under the description of having no side effects, but in fact, contains poison. The energy recovery is also lesser. Players, please make your purchases carefully!]

The moment this news was released, the World Channel went into an uproar once more.

“As expected, there are two Special Materials. I’ve always felt that something wasn’t right!”

“Contains poison? They actually said that there were no side effects. Isn’t this a scam!?”

“So despicable.”

These were voices denouncing Trudeau.

But soon enough, another voice appeared.

“Are you all idiots? Did the system message say who was selling it? Are you guys just going to acquiesce it to Trudeau? It’s very likely that Mike is the one selling poisonous Special Materials!”

“Mike was the first to sell such things. While he earned the most money, he was also the first to claim that Special Materials had no side effects. No matter how you look at it, this has Mike written all over it.”

“Right! There must be something wrong with Mike!”

“Trudeau gave us so many discounts and when the exchange was selling things, he even called the buyers ‘family’. How could he be a bad person if he was so polite?”

“That’s right. On the other hand, Mike’s items are expensive and he’s arrogant. He never calls us ‘family’. One look and you can tell that he has a lowly character!”

The voices denouncing Mike were led by Trudeau’s supporters.

In addition, many people bought Trudeau’s Special Materials. They were unwilling to believe that they had spent so much money on a highly toxic imitation, so they all tried their best to protect Trudeau.

The noises were once again overflowed the chat interface.

Until the second system message was released.

[The following trading accounts selling highly toxic materials have been restricted from trading. All proceeds must be returned to respective players within three days and the accounts will be suspended for a month. Failing to do so will result in being permanently suspended according to identity numbers.]

[Account: Trudeau]

[Account: Cairo]

[Account: Jack]

...

The most eye-catching words were none other than the leader who had sold fake resources.

Trudeau.
