<h4>Chapter 296: Sensation!</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
The sanctuary was overcrowded with people. Not only were there contestants, but there were also spectators. It was more than ten times more boisterous than usual. The yers’ line of shops extended from the square to almost the gate of the city.
The Divisions were big events for all yers. The yers not at the venue could watch the live stream on the forums.
Three days to the opening, there was one day that coincidentally was the fixed ck Phantom loot box sales day. Part of the reason arge number of yers came to the sanctuary was also because of Han Xiao.
The location that he usually appeared at was already surrounded. A male yer stood outside the crowd and looked around on his tiptoes.
“He should be here anytime soon,” the yer mumbled softly.
His ID was ‘Jing Zhe’, an LV 20 Mechanic, one of the unnoticeable spectators, as good as transparent in the crowded sanctuary. He knew about Han Xiao’s functionalities from the forums, so he wanted to buy some low-level equipment.
This kind of new yers appeared every once in a while, bringing Han Xiao long-term profits.
After waiting for a while, Han Xiao drove the truck and arrived at the scene with a 270 degrees tail drift. He jumped down from the car, and the waiting yers swarmed over instantly to grab the boxes.
The number of boxes was limited. It was almost impossible to purchase them without putting up a fight to buy them as soon as possible. Jing Zhe was pushed around by the crowd.
After the boxes were sold out, only then did the crowd leave. Jing Zhe heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Han Xiao was still there, he quickly trotted over and conveyed his intention of wanting to learn abilities. And as he wished, he saw the shop list.
<i>So much machinery, and it seems like I can learn abilities here as well. The functions of this NPC are so rich. I heard he was the main storyline main character before...</i>Jing Zhe was a new yer that only started after the end of the Germinal Organization main storyline. He barely knew about Han Xiao’s past at all.
The items made his heart beat a lot quicker. And after he scrolled down to the bottom, his eyes opened wide in surprise.
<i>This is... the ss advancement knowledge for Pugilist and Esper, [Energy Burst] and [Tier 2 Gene Chain—Endurance Enhancement]. Both selling for 30,000 EXP. </i>Jing Zhe’s mouth was wide open with surprise.
Was ck Phantom not the Mechanic mentor? Why was he selling the ss advancement knowledge for the other two sses?
Anyway, he could not use them.
Jing Zhe took a screenshot, posted it on the forums causally, and continued to look at the other items in the shop. What he did not expect was... this post created a storm on the forums!
Every yer who knew what this meant was shocked!
Jing Zhe did not know how rare ss advancement knowledge was yet, but the older yers knew it very well—ss advancement knowledge could only be exchanged after they farmed their rtionship points with the Six Nations to ‘Reverence’, which almost no one could at the moment. Yet, Han Xiao had just started selling them out of nowhere!
Only one word could describe how to old yers felt about Han Xiao.
Horrifying!
After being silent for a few months, Han Xiao’s name dominated the forums once again!
Jing Zhe was stunned. He had never thought that his casual post would trigger such a reaction.
However, what was more shocking only came afterward. Countless yers came from everywhere upon hearing the news and swarmed toward Han Xiao. After they confirmed the news to be true, the entire square’s yers became frenzied!
<i>ck Phantom is the yers’ blessing as always!</i>
Suddenly, there was amotion at the exteriors of the crowd, and they split open a path automatically. Renowned pro yers walked in one after another—Li Ge, Hao Tian, Sun Eggnt, and so on. They gathered in one ce and snatched the spotlight!
With the Pro League just around the corner, the appearance of ss advancement knowledge was certainly a very timely help. No one wanted to be behind the others, so they all rushed here. Dozens of famous pro yers surrounded Han Xiao!
Some of the surrounding yers had not had the chance to meet their idols before, so they could not hide their excitement and screams.
Jing Zhe waspletely stunned. A post that he had casually published turned out to attract a group of god level pro yers. He was used to being a nobody and had never had such an experience. He was shivering in excitement.
These pro yers led the way to buy ss advancement knowledge. The EXP on Han Xiao’s interface rocketed by millions every minute! Han Xiao was overjoyed.
<i>It was worth hoarding the ss advancement knowledge till now. It’s profiteering!</i>Han Xiao was delighted. He had long expected the ss advancement knowledge to be a hit. In Version 1.0, the prerequisites for acquiring ss advancement knowledges were very difficult. The yers went through a lot of hardship to get them, yet he sold them without any prior requirements. It would definitely shock all the yers.
The ss advancement knowledge for these two sses came from the Germinal Organization centralputer. Now that the Germinal Organization had been eradicated, the ss advancement knowledge in his hands became the only source of it throughout Aquamarine.
Tens of thousands of yers gathered in the sanctuary—excluding Mechanics, yers with insufficient purchasing power, and yers with insufficient potential points. Even if there were only a tenth of the yers that bought it, he would still make a crazy profit!
30,000 was not high for the yers at this time. Han Xiao sold it at this price because he wanted to sell more quantity and also because the contestants would spend most of their EXP before thepetition to strengthen themselves as much as they could. If he set the price too high, he would miss the opportunity on those who did not have any EXP left.
He sold it for a few hours straight and only stopped as the sun started to set.
He looked at the interface. The EXP that he had received was an outrageous amount of 300,000,000.
Han Xiao had more than 500,000,000 EXP in his pocket through all sorts of events during the four months, and it had grown by more than half in just a day!
<i>The yers’ demand for ss advancement knowledge is ridiculous. It will be high in the first few days and will start to gradually decrease as time passes, but even then, it will still earn a healthy profit just like the other abilities.</i>
Han Xiao opened the forums. The Aquamarine panel was filled with posts about ss advancement knowledge. Many analyzed why he would suddenly sell the ss advancement for the other two sses despite being a Mechanic.
This even affected the panels of others. The other division yers were shocked and felt pressured. It waspetitive between the divisions, and Aquamarine yers getting ss advancement knowledge so easily was bad news for others. yers from all thes were discussing it.
Han Xiao was very famous in Aquamarine, and he also sometimes appeared in Gxy Times. However, most of his poprity was limited to Aquamarine. This was the first time that his name had spread to the other yers. The yers from the other yers started to know his name Aquamarine Legendary NPC, ck Phantom, Han Xiao, Loot Box!
Actually, every had their own storyline main characters that appeared actively as they took part in the main storyline missions. Despite also being the main storyline main character, Han Xiao was very different. He did not provide main storyline missions one round after another, yet the functions that he offered were horrifyingly rich. The Aquamarine yers received countless benefits from him.
He was the storyline main character, the mechanic mentor, the salesman for rare items, the distributor for regr prize-pool missions, the loot box seller... His identity was soplex that the yers had never seen any NPC that even came close. His position in the hearts of Aquamarine’s yers was unique and irreceable. It was like they had gone through the change of times side by side. When the yers thought of him, they felt a sense of familiarity and trust!
