Online Game: I Became Rich by Running a Stall

Chapter 5: Replicating Old Tricks, Earning from the Knowledge Ga

Sharpening, a universal skill.

Increases weapon attack power by 10%.

This passive skill may seem ordinary.

But Aurélien knows that it has advanced versions, Sharpening 2 and Sharpening 3.

Only by learning Sharpening can one learn the advanced versions.

The later in the game, the more useful it becomes, and in the later stages, it's a rare book.

Aurélien recalls an auction house once sold it for a million gold coins, a hundred thousand dollars.

Unexpectedly, it appeared in the newbie village's Skeleton Cave.

The girl's ID is called "Heart with Flowers."

A very artistic name.

Aurélien is shocked inside but remains composed on the surface: "A level 10 skill, shall we make a deal? How much are you asking for it?"

Heart with Flowers says helplessly: "I don't know, I can't learn this book! And a 10% increase seems too little, it doesn't feel very useful!"

Ignorance is bliss.

Aurélien looks troubled: "Indeed, it's not very useful. How many useless bones do you have?"

"I have six."

"How about this, I'll count it as seven bones' worth, and you sell the book to me!"

As he said this, Aurélien felt both guilty and hopeful.

Heart with Flowers pouts: "Only 50 gold coins, boss, can't you give more? No discount?"

Aurélien frowns, seemingly deep in thought, torn.

He mutters to himself: "This book is indeed not very useful, I'll definitely lose money if I buy it. Beautiful lady, can you bear to see me lose? You're so pretty, surely you're kind-hearted!"

Heart with Flowers' eyes light up: "If you put it that way, I suppose I can accept. Count it as eight?"

"Alright, if I say more, the beautiful lady might think I'm not generous. Let's make it eight."

"Oh, you're so kind!"

Heart with Flowers happily trades six bones and "Sharpening" to Aurélien.

"Hehe, serving a beauty like you is my pleasure!"

Aurélien can't help but think that when the other party finds out in the future that they sold something that was worth a hundred thousand gold coins for only a hundred, they might go crazy.

It turns out that when a merchant compliments you, it's also the time when they're taking advantage of you.

Heart with Flowers smiles happily and says: "You're so kind, I'll sell all my good stuff to you in the future!"

[Ding, Heart with Flowers added you as a friend, do you agree!]

Aurélien is instantly embarrassed.

But in front of the person, he's too embarrassed to refuse.

[Agree!]

"Sis, let's keep in touch more often!"

After saying goodbye to the young lady.

Aurélien opens his friend list.

[Ding, would you like to delete Heart with Flowers.]

"Block!"

[Ding, friend deletion successful and added to the blacklist!]

Aurélien doesn't want to be pestered by women, interfering with his money-making plans.

After finishing everything, Aurélien gets up and leaves the Skeleton Cave.

He bypasses the Skeleton Cave and continues to head deeper into the jungle.

As he leaves, four figures quietly follow him.

Aurélien is well aware that these four people are following him, wanting to see what use the useless white bones have.

In such a situation, it's impossible for one person to take all the profits.

He might as well call out to the four: "Brothers, since you're here, let's walk together?"

"Ah? Haha, we're just passing by, we're on the same path as you!"

"Right, same path, same path!"

Aurélien sees through but doesn't expose them, and says with a smile: "None of us are high-level, it's a good idea to team up and kill some monsters on the way to level up!"

"Good, I was thinking the same thing!"

The five form a team, which actually saves Aurélien from worrying about the wild monsters on the road.

They want information from Aurélien, so they fight the monsters more desperately.

Aurélien doesn't summon the zombie, eating experience for free, and is escorted by everyone on the way.

...

"Bro, what do you buy bones for?"

Almost at the mountain range, someone suddenly asks.

The four look at Aurélien.

Aurélien, of course, won't say, and mysteriously smiles: "We're almost there, and you'll find out. How many bones have you guys collected?"

"I collected 15."

"I collected 24."

"I have more, I collected 110, I bought them for 51 gold coins!"

"We can't collect any, bro. Your stall is golden and ours look like beggars', it's a blessing to get any at all!"

"Bro, just tell us what the bones can do. If you're making a killing, at least let your brothers have some soup!"

Aurélien clears his throat: "It's not that I can't, we're almost there, but I have one request.

Later, we'll price them at 500 each."

"Ah?? 500 each? Bro, isn't that too ruthless?"

"Will they buy them?"

"It's only an hour here from the Skeleton Cave, 500 each might be too much!"

Aurélien smiles: "500 is indeed expensive, but there are plenty of people who will buy. Don't worry."

"Wow, bro, you're really ruthless!"

It doesn't take long before everyone finally arrives at their destination.

It's a mountain pass outpost.

There are dozens of NPCs at the outpost, more than in the newbie village.

A crowd of players are squeezed in the outpost.

These players have all just come from the Skeleton Cave.

"Look, the merchant is coming!"

"Great, damn it, bro, you're finally here, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Yeah, bro, you're finally here, give us back the bones!"

Level 10 is already the highest level.

Aurélien has been fighting monsters along the way and is only level 7 now.

But he is surrounded by a group of level 10 players.

Aurélien smiles and says: "Of course, I'll set up a stall right away!"

The four merchants who came with Aurélien exchange glances and set up stalls in the safety zone at the entrance of the outpost.

When the golden stall name appears.

People check the stall and are shocked.

"500 gold coins?? How can you not rob!!"

"Well, you've said that line before! He said it's faster than robbery!"

"I just sold you 50, you're selling me 500? Why do I feel like I'm the sucker?"

"It's too much, 500 gold coins, ten bones fifty bucks, let's go back to the Skeleton Cave!!"

"Empereur des affaires, you wait, don't let me see you later."

It's not that they can't afford it, they're just angry, it's too much.

A few people leave in anger.

The four merchants in the team channel say: "Bro, it seems we've messed up!"

Aurélien's mouth corners rise, sitting on the ground with a smile: "Don't worry, wait!

Someone will buy."

Sure enough.

After a few people leave, more people choose to buy at Aurélien's shop.

[Ding, congratulations, sold 10X useless bones for 5000 gold coins!]

The system keeps popping up.

The other four also start business one after another.

The four merchants look at their shops, stunned and say: "How is this possible! Why? How can this be sold?"

The answer comes from a buyer.

"This is the place for profession change, ten useless bones are the profession change task, after the task, you have to go to the main map."

"The most important thing is, it takes more than an hour to go to the Skeleton Cave and back, and you have to fight skeletons there. Under the current situation, there are more people than monsters in the Skeleton Cave, whether you can grab a skeleton is a problem."

Now everyone here is the top players.

Their level tasks are ahead of others, they don't want to give up the advantage.

One person 10 bones, in no time, the useless bones are sold out.

Aurélien's gold coins surge again.

From the original 100,000, it soared to 850,000.

Eighty-five thousand dollars earned.

Aurélien only used an afternoon to earn back the money for the helmet.

"Not bad, keep going!"

Aurélien restrains his excitement and closes the stall.

The four merchants who came with him see this and rush up: "Bro, wait a minute!"
