Chapter 108: Cleaning Up Your Backpack and Acquiring New Passive Skills
......
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the central square of Luoxia City truly lives up to its reputation as the best restaurant in the main city, with its carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an extraordinary grandeur.
NPC waiters mingled among the customers, who were mostly well-dressed NPCs or player teams that looked well-equipped.
Zhang Tianya booked a private room on the second floor. The environment was quiet, and the window offered a view of the fountain in the center of the square and the bustling crowds.
When Lin Tian arrived with Celia, Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei were already there, each with one or two trusted deputies.
"Brother Lin Tian, over here!" Zhang Tianya stood up to greet him with a hearty smile.
Today he wore a set of extraordinary silver-gray armor, making him look even more heroic.
"Hey handsome~ come sit here!" Li Weiwei waved with a charming smile. Today she was wearing a bright red robe that accentuated her figure perfectly, making her look radiant and beautiful.
After exchanging pleasantries and taking their seats, the NPC waiter quickly served fragrant tea and exquisite snacks.
"Brother Lin Tian, who is this...?"
Zhang Tianya looked at Celia, who was sitting quietly next to Lin Tian and had a mysterious aura, and asked curiously.
Li Weiwei also cast an inquiring glance.
"My partner, Celia," Lin Tian introduced simply.
Celia merely nodded slightly, her purple eyes sweeping over the two of them as a greeting, without saying anything more.
But the aura that was unintentionally revealed made Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei secretly feel a chill, knowing that this was no ordinary person.
After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, the conversation quickly turned to the main topic.
Without wasting words, Lin Tian took screenshots of the attributes of the large batch of equipment and materials he planned to sell from his backpack, made a list, and shared it with Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei.
The sheer length and high quality of the list left even the two well-informed presidents speechless with astonishment!
There are as many as thirty or forty weapons, armor, and accessories for each class in the B-tier!
In addition, there are mountains of high-grade materials such as [Sharp Eagle Claws], [Sturdy Shells], [Elemental Cores], and [Magic Threads], all of which are in high demand for forging, enchanting, and making high-grade potions.
"This... Brother Lin Tian, this is truly... a generous gesture!"
Zhang Tianya looked at the list, his eyes shining, his tone full of amazement.
This equipment is enough to arm one of the core elite regiments of their alliance!
"Hey bro, did you rob the system's warehouse?"
Li Weiwei covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise. Then, pointing to several pieces of women's cloth armor and staves on the list, she said eagerly,
"These few! We, Blood Romance, want these few! Don't anyone try to take them!"
Zhang Tianya gave a wry smile: "President Weiwei, that's not very kind of you. Good things should be shared by everyone."
He quickly identified more than a dozen top-tier pieces of equipment suitable for warriors, knights, and mages.
Lin Tian smiled as he watched the two of them getting along so well.
"Presidents, please don't rush, there's plenty of food. However, I have a question: how much can your two families possibly consume?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei's excited expressions subsided slightly. They exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of embarrassment.
Zhang Tianya rubbed his hands together, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"To be honest, Brother Lin Tian, this batch of goods is of extremely high quality, and its value is probably over a thousand gold coins... Although our alliance has some resources, we can only come up with three or four hundred gold coins in working capital at the moment..."
Li Weiwei also sighed and said helplessly:
"Our situation in Crimson Romance is similar. The girls spend money extravagantly and have even less savings. They'll probably only be able to scrape together a little over two hundred gold at most..."
At this stage, for a guild, having a few hundred gold coins in working capital is already considered to be financially strong.
For the average player, having a few dozen silver coins is considered quite well-off.
Lin Tian had expected this to happen. His original intention was not to earn these gold coins, but mainly to clear out his inventory and make room, and incidentally, to make some good connections.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"How about this, we'll price it at 80% of the market price."
"It's okay if you don't have enough gold coins. You can use rare skill books for each class, especially passive skills, or special items and rare materials collected by your guild to offset the price."
"how?"
"20% off?!"
Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei were overjoyed to hear this!
This is an absolute steal!
They can make a small profit by reselling the products at 80% of the market price to guild members or by auctioning them off at the auction house!
"Brother Lin Tian/Big Brother! So generous!" The two said in unison, their faces beaming with joy.
"Then it's settled!" Zhang Tianya immediately approved.
"I'll have the guild warehouse manager take stock of the skill books and special items we don't need, and send them to you right away!"
Li Weiwei immediately chimed in, "Me too! Just tell me what you like, handsome!"
Soon, the two lists were sent to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian quickly browsed through the list, focusing mainly on the skill books and special items.
The guild provided three skill books:
D-rank [Shield Slam] (Warrior), D-rank [Flame Impact] (Mage), and a relatively rare D-rank passive skill [Fitness] (permanently increases constitution attribute by 30 points).
The special items include a [Basic Enhancement Stone] and some high-level herbs.
Blood Romance provides two skill books:
D-rank [Great Healing] (Priest), and a D-rank [Shadowstep] (Assassin).
Special items include a D-grade [Blessing Potion] that can temporarily increase luck by 10 points, and several decent gems.
Lin Tian's eyes lit up when he saw the [Body Strengthening] skill. He had finally gained another passive skill, one that increased his constitution.
There's also a potion that increases luck, not bad.
This harvest has exceeded Lin Tian's expectations.
These unions have more good stuff.
After all, with hundreds of members in a guild, the probability of getting good items is not low.
He accepted everything the two of them gave him, and then said to them, "That's all, this will cover part of the cost."
"For the rest, pay whatever gold coins you can. Consider the rest as my prepayment, and I'll give you priority next time I have good stuff."
The two were overjoyed that Lin Tian was so easy to talk to, and they thanked him profusely, saying they would raise the gold coins as soon as possible.
With the deal nearly finalized, Lin Tian seemed to remember something and casually asked:
"By the way, guild leaders, do you know where in Luoxia City I can expand my backpack capacity? My backpack is never big enough."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianya immediately smiled and said, "I know that."
"Brother Lin Tian, you can go to the tailor shop in the east of the city. They sell a special kind of [Expanded Bag] there."
"Although it's a D-grade accessory and doesn't provide any attribute bonuses, it can directly increase your backpack space by 20 slots. It costs 2 gold coins each, making it the most cost-effective way to expand your inventory at this stage."
