Chapter 343 Another Clearance Sale
The hustle and bustle of Star Moon City crashed against the city walls like a tide, but it failed to penetrate the quiet courtyard where Lin Tian lived.
Ancient trees tower in the courtyard, their branches rustling softly in the breeze, creating a world of its own that isolates it from the fervor and panic of the outside world.
His heart was like a still, ancient well.
Level 60, nearly 300 million Intelligence from the ultimate advancement of dual professions, and the two exclusive divine skills [Dominator Domain] and [Astral Projection]... all these combined made the upcoming so-called "Hundred-Server Melee" completely lose its meaning of challenge in his eyes.
Seventy million people in one competition zone? It sounds grand. But quality determines everything.
At present, the average level of ordinary players is 22-24, and even the top SSS-level talents are only a little over 30. The attribute gap is tens or even hundreds of times.
Their attacks, striking Lin Tian's defensive system comprised of multiple layers of protection including [Magic Shield], [Flame Shield], high base defense, and [Starry Sky Protection], would likely only cause damage less than enough to force a reduction in his health.
There is no mandatory minimum damage setting in the Battle of the Myriad Realms.
If we just stand there and let them hit us, all we'll get is some noise.
His focus had long since moved beyond this first hurdle and into something much deeper.
"The Misty Continent..."
Lin Tian murmured the term. The final stage repeatedly mentioned in the system announcements and preliminary rules, the battlefield where he would clash with other novice players from the mainland, where he might find opponents commensurate with his current level, and... the deeper secrets behind this "Battle for Supremacy" game.
Unfortunately, apart from the name and the vague location of "final battleground", there is no specific description of the Misty Continent in the mission panel or known information.
The environment, rules, and opponents are all unknown.
This unknown is the only thing that can pique his interest even slightly.
"Fine, one must eat one bite at a time." Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and stopped dwelling on it.
The most urgent task is to make good use of these seven days to get myself into the best possible condition and lay the groundwork for a possible, longer-term future.
With a thought, he summoned the system inventory interface. Instantly, a dazzling array of colorful lights unfolded in his consciousness.
Since breaking through level 50, he has killed a large number of boss-level monsters, and the equipment and materials dropped by him have piled up like mountains.
Previously, he had focused on collecting job change materials, and many unused or duplicate equipment items were carelessly left in the corner of his backpack. Now was the perfect time to clean them up.
Fingers traced lines in the air, and consciousness rapidly categorized information.
What remains are a large number of "unused items".
His gaze swept across the scene: staves gleaming with elemental luster but whose attributes no longer met his needs; sharp but useless daggers and longswords; plates, chainmails, and leather armor of varying styles, offering decent defense; and piles of ores, crystal cores, leather, and cloth shimmering with different lights...
The vast majority of them are between grade C and grade A, and their levels are mostly between 45 and 55.
For Lin Tian now, the attribute bonuses from these items are negligible, and their effects are far less than those from the equipment he already has.
As for D-grade and lower equipment and white junk materials, he had already ignored or casually discarded them while killing monsters, so they wouldn't be in his inventory.
However, these items are the ultimate dream items for the vast majority of players at this stage, especially those in level 3 main cities!
After a moment's thought, Lin Tian opened the private message interface.
The list contains two names: Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei.
Since parting ways with Luoxia City, he has come to Xingyue City, a second-tier main city, while Zhang Tianya's War Alliance and Li Weiwei's Blood Romance Guild have both taken root in the third-tier main city for development.
Due to level restrictions and limited access to the main city, the two sides were unable to meet again, but they maintained contact through private messages and the team chat.
Mainly, Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei would regularly report to him on the dynamics of Luoxia City, as well as express their gratitude and greetings, and Lin Tian would occasionally reply with a few words.
With a light tap of his finger, he casually created a temporary three-person text chat channel.
"Everyone's here? You saw the preliminary round announcement, right? How's your preparation going?"
Lin Tian casually sent a message, and the channel immediately responded.
Zhang Tianya's words were brimming with excitement:
"Brother Lin! You finally showed up! (≧∀≦)ゞ I saw it! I saw it! The whole city is buzzing! Level 50 requirement... Brother Lin, was that your doing? That's amazing!"
Li Weiwei spoke in a light and cheerful tone, with a hint of pride:
"Hello Brother Lin~ (´▽｀) The guild is doing well, it's finally set up! Thanks to your reminder and Guild Leader Zhang's help, the city defense battle was exhausting, but we finally made it through! 'Crimson Romance' is now a small guild with official status~"
Zhang Tianya then replied:
"Don't even mention it! Our guild is undergoing intensive training right now. These rules are killing us, the pressure is immense! Lin, are you having a blast in the level 2 city?"
It was followed by a funny "lying down and taking all the criticism" emoji.
Lin Tian gave a brief response before getting to the point: Not bad. Congratulations, Chairman Li. Chairman Zhang, you've worked hard too.
"I'm clearing out my backpack. There are some equipment and materials that I don't need. They're okay in terms of level and quality, but they just take up space for me."
"If you need it, I can sell it to you at a low price. It should be useful for guild development or preparation for the preliminaries."
After the message was sent, the channel was silent for several seconds.
Zhang Tianya first sent a string of question marks: "......???"
"Brother Lin, you call those 'useless'? (ﾟДﾟ≡ﾟДﾟ) What level are you at now?!"
What you look down on might be a godsend for us!
"Yes! Absolutely! Our guild is desperately needing good gear! Name your price!"
"I'll go sell them right now... no, I'll go raise the money!"
Zhang Tianya was incoherent, clearly extremely excited.
"Brother Lin... this... how can we trouble you again! (；´д｀)ゞ You've already helped us so much..."
Li Weiwei was polite at first, but she couldn't resist the temptation.
"But... to be honest, our newly established guild doesn't have much good stuff in its warehouse, and we can't even gather enough equipment for our core members."
"If we had a good set of equipment, everyone's chances of surviving in the preliminaries would be much higher... The price is yours, we won't haggle!"
Then I sent a cute "Please" emoji.
Their reactions were as expected.
Lin Tian said no more and directly initiated the remote transaction application.
He sorted out more than two hundred pieces of idle equipment and a large number of B and C grade materials from his backpack, divided them into two groups, and roughly matched them according to the personnel ratio and class needs of the War Alliance and Blood Romance, and put them into the trading slots respectively.
