Is it edged with gold and studded with diamonds?

"Level 1..."

"15.56 million HP!"

Chen Ming couldn't help but gasp, his heart trembling!

This was simply too terrifying!

With this much health alone, it could crush any player below the Seventh Rank.

"As expected of an Eternal-Grade existence!"

"Truly a case of a cow taking a plane—fucking soaring to the heavens!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath, the smile on his face harder to suppress than an AK's recoil!

With the Universal Emperor Dragon by his side, even if he completely slacked off from now on, his achievements would far surpass those of his past life.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming was in a great mood. He stretched and walked quickly toward the spatial portal not far away that led to the sixth floor of the Dragon Tower.

As he approached, the attribute effect of the [Wings of the Ancestral Dragon] on his back activated, providing a notification.

[Detected Ancestral Dragon Set: ancestral dragon scale skirt is located on the sixth floor of the Dragon Tower.]

[Detected Ancestral Dragon Set: Ancestor Dragon Rock Scale Armor is located on the seventh floor of the Dragon Tower.]

[Detected Ancestral Dragon Set: Ancestor Dragon Helmet is located on the seventh floor of the Dragon Tower.]

Seeing these prompts, Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

However, the moment he stepped into the spatial portal, he was bounced back by an invisible force.

[Prompt: The Dragon Tower contains the Dragon God's Treasure and has been sealed by the Dragon God's Power. You must be Level ≥ 50 to enter.]

[Prompt: You have obtained the Dragon God Mark. When you reach Level 50, you can use the mark to teleport back to the Dragon's Lair Secret Realm at any time.]

Two consecutive prompts popped up before his eyes.

Chen Ming subconsciously looked at his left arm.

A thumb-sized dragon-shaped mark had appeared there.

[Dragon God Mark: Once activated, it can teleport you to the sixth floor of the Dragon Tower.

Can be activated at Level ≥ 50.]

"So I have to reach Level 50 to enter!"

Chen Ming murmured to himself, though he wasn't in too much of a hurry.

After all, with his current leveling speed, it wouldn't take a month to reach Level 50.

"I'll come back to get them when the time comes."

Chen Ming shook his head and chose to exit the secret realm.

A milky-white pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping him as he disappeared from the spot.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the small inn.

The sun was setting, and it was already 7:00 PM.

There were only 5 hours left before the world event, 'Plague of the Undead,' officially began.

Chen Ming walked out of the inn, found a restaurant for a quick dinner, and then headed straight for the Trading Plaza.

That was the offline trading zone specifically designated for players by Myriad Beast City.

Chen Ming checked his inventory. Between this secret realm trip and his previous accumulation, he had a total of over three hundred pieces of equipment, large and small.

After being enhanced by his talent, the lowest quality of these items was bronze grade.

There were even three Epic-grade pieces.

Although the market price for equipment in the main city was almost fixed and there was no price inflation, selling such a large batch of equipment would still net him a significant fortune.

"It's a pity there's no cross-server trading between the main city and the Novice Village."

"Otherwise, if I sold this batch of equipment in the Novice Village, I'd make a killing!"

With a sigh, Chen Ming arrived at the Trading Plaza.

The Trading Plaza was vast, as large as a dozen football fields combined. It was packed with people and countless stalls.

These stalls were public and could be temporarily rented by paying gold coins.

"Don't miss out! Freshly dropped Level 30 Gold Greatsword, top-tier stats, discounted price!"

"Chunxin Potion Studio has gone bankrupt! The boss ran away with his sister-in-law! Now clearing stock at a loss—everything for just 98! Come take a look! Don't ask why it's so cheap, the studio boss is my cousin!"

"Dwarf Alliance is buying all kinds of equipment in bulk! Any quality, great prices!"

...

Amidst the noisy hawking, Chen Ming approached an empty stall, paid 500 gold coins for the usage rights, and began pricing the equipment for sale.

bronze grade equipment: 4,500 gold coins per piece.

silver grade equipment: 20,000 gold coins per piece.

gold grade equipment: 100,000 gold coins per piece.

Platinum-grade equipment: 500,000 gold coins per piece.

Dark Gold Grade equipment: 3.5 million gold coins per piece.

Compared to the market price, Chen Ming's prices were slightly lower.

It wasn't because he was particularly kind or generous, but simply to sell them quickly.

As for the three Epic-grade items, he labeled them all with a sky-high price of 100 million gold coins.

Equipment of this level rarely circulated on the market; most people who wanted to buy would negotiate, and direct transactions were rare.

Once the pricing was finished, the stall opened.

In less than a minute, over a dozen people stopped in front of Chen Ming's stall, drooling over the three Epic-grade items.

[Blazing Sun Shield], [Fire Dragon Destruction Staff], [Dragon Slayer Flash].

"Brother, would you sell this [Dragon Slayer Flash] for 50,000 gold coins?"

"I'm a student, could you give me a discount for that?"

A young man asked pitifully.

Chen Ming didn't even look up: "Today, I don't care if you're a student or a farm animal, the answer is no."

"A discount is impossible, but I can give you a compound fracture if you like."

As soon as he said this, the surrounding players burst into laughter, and the young man's face turned beet red as he quickly retreated.

It wasn't that he was shameless!

It was mainly because Epic-grade equipment was just too tempting.

If it worked, he would have made a massive profit.

If it didn't, it didn't matter; it was just a bit of embarrassment.

Attracted by the three Epic-grade items, more and more people gathered in front of Chen Ming's stall.

"Tsk tsk, so much equipment. It's like he raided an equipment nest."

"Oh my god, the effects of those three Epic-grade items are incredible. They're making my mouth water."

"Who is this guy, putting out so much equipment at once?"

The players discussed amongst themselves, and many bought items during the process.

However, most were low-level equipment.

"Hey handsome, can you make this [Fire Dragon Destruction Staff] a bit cheaper?"

A sweet voice suddenly rang out as a scantily clad fox girl with a fiery figure squeezed through the crowd. Her chest was pushed forward so hard it almost hit Chen Ming's face, creating a classic 'motorboat' scene.

"Minimum 70 million gold coins, no bargaining."

"Okay, deal!"

The fox girl's voice was soft and full of charm.

Chen Ming's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to sell an Epic-grade item so quickly.

He immediately went to hand over the [Fire Dragon Destruction Staff].

However, the girl's next words made him pause.

"Handsome, I don't have that many gold coins on me. Can I pay with my body?"

The fox girl blinked her eyes, looking at Chen Ming seductively.

Chen Ming suppressed his anger, a vein throbbing on his forehead: "Is it gold-plated and diamond-encrusted?"

Fox girl: ???

Chen Ming: "Otherwise, what makes you think your piece of trash body is worth 70 million gold coins?"

Another burst of laughter erupted from the surroundings, and the fox girl slunk away in shame.

Time passed slowly, and two hours went by in the blink of an eye.

Attracted by the three Epic-grade items, the equipment on Chen Ming's stall was mostly sold out.

Only a few high-quality pieces remained, with no one showing interest.

Mainly because most players couldn't produce that many gold coins.

And just then, a group of Orc players suddenly barged in.

The leader was a hulking man with a lion's head and a human body, exuding an extremely fierce aura.

As soon as he approached, he stared greedily at the equipment on Chen Ming's stall.

"Kid, all this equipment—the Lionheart Society will take it all for 100,000 gold coins."
