My Chaotic City

Big Trader's obese figure was deceiving as he moved fast. He had received 10 gold coins from Li Hanqiang and proceeded to buy 40 low-level Inspiration Potions.

"It will only take me 20 minutes to sell the potions, and I can contact a rich guy in the meantime. Give or take an hour, and I will be able to find you a buyer. After that, if you make a profit, don't forget to give me a commission."

"I will, now go on and don't worry about it," Li Hanqiang said

"Let's go!" A bright flash emanated from Big Trader's body as he proceeded to turn and leave.

At this moment, the chat group Li Hanqiang began to liven up.

Who would not want the Elite Template Mount? 

The trio, Dark Redemption, Fanning Knight, and Fiery Blade Sage were relentlessly questioning Li Hanqiang about where exactly had he obtained the Young Black Thorned Turtle.

That Fanning Knight was the most agitated of the three and he spammed Li Hanqiang's with messages.

He was a Knight and there was nothing he wanted more than a mount

[A rider without a mount would be a useless one, come on City Lord. You are my real-life brother. Could you just give me that Young Black Thorned Turtle!] Fanning Knight sent him another message.

[No!] Li Hanqiang was not known to be a good person who could be taken advantage of. He presumed that Fanning Knight was currently cursing at him right now. How could he just give away Young Black Thorned Turtle to him?

He proceeded to reply explicitly. [It will be placed on auction right now. Maybe you can come and bid for it! That reminds me, are you planning to auction off your Dark Shadow Charge? If you are, I can get it done for you for a pretty good price?]

[Don't!] Fanning Knight was completely terrified at this point. He was now bitterly watching the auction as a spectator while he lamented in his heart. He was hoping to re-buy the Dark Shadow Charge skill book as soon as possible. If Li Hanqiang sold it off, he would suffer a much bigger loss.

"Sigh, I shouldn't have pawned that book to him. That stupid City Lord might be unreliable," Fanning Knight lamented as he could only send Li Hanqiang a text through the group chat. [My dear brother, if you had actually auctioned it off, I will stop at nothing to hunt you down.]

[Haha, the City Lord is invincible. I fear nothing!] In all honesty, Li Hanqiang was only pulling his leg and would never commit such morally reprehensible acts. However, he was still capable of ignoring Dark Redemption and the others by making them buy a ticket.

He had created a group chat and brought Dark Redemption, Fanning Knight, and Fiery Blade Sage into it. He then sent a text. [The three of you should buy yourselves a ticket and come support me. I will have a surprise for all of you. I will always share the good stuff with you guys.]

[Fiery Blade Sage: Easy for you to say, the tickets would cost us gold.]

[Fanning Knight: I'll go!]

[Dark Redemption: I don't think I'll be going since I've been online ever since the game went live. It's been 14 to 15 hours now. I don't think I can keep myself up so it's time for me to log off now.]

[Li Hanqiang: Then you'd be missing out on a really good opportunity. You'll regret missing out in future, you know.]

[Dark Redemption: We'll talk about it in the future then. I'll see you guys soon, bye now.]

Dark Redemption then immediately logged off.

Li Hanqiang proceeded to shake his head repeatedly then sent another text. [Fanning Knight and Fiery Blade Sage, aren't you guys close with that Emperor's Rich Guild? Help me advertise, alright? We'll see if any of them are interested in buying the Young Black Thorned Turtle and bring in a few more wealthy people.]

[Fiery Blade Sage: We aren't on good terms with them.]

[Fanning Knight: Don't talk about it. It's all that woman's fault.] 

As Li Hanqiang was casually texting away, Big Trader was as busy as a bee...

The city he was in was called Linghai City. The instant he returned, he proceeded to rush out of the city and arrived at a valley after 15 minutes of traveling.

This valley was a training area and there was a miniature copy of the Hunter's Camp there. The copy was maintained by an extremely powerful guild. The guild's name was known as Tianhe, and they were ranked in the top ten guilds of the entire country. This guild had far exceeded the insignificant reputation of the Emperor's Rich Guild.

Big Trader's target was the Tianhe Guild. As far as he knew, the leader of the Tianhe Guild was a Knight named [Tianhe Emperor]. Big Trader had met him once at the entrance to the Hunter's Camp.

The instant he arrived at the entrance of the Hunter's Camp, Big Trader did not say anything and proceeded to instantly place the poster announcing the auction of the Young Black Thorned Turtle.

This resulted in gaining the immediate attention of countless gamers.

"Young Black Thorned Turtle, an Elite Monster Template Mount!"

"Is this real?"

"Hey, fatty. What's the meaning of this?"

"Where did you get this information?"

"Such an awesome mount…"

A buzz of discussion immediately began.

However, Big Trader was unperturbed. He casually said, "My friends, I am responsible for boycotting the dishonest merchants. In order for everyone to have an effective method to level up and save time from traveling back into the city, I have brought with me some low-level Health Potions, Magic Potions, and Inspiration Potions. The price will be the same as the merchants in the city. Stock is limited, so chances are also limited. Hence, I will be selling on a first come first served basis."

"What, the same price as a normal city merchant? This fatty doesn't profit?"

"Could there possibly be someone so dense?'

Under a shroud of skeptical questioning and only three minutes, Big Trader had sold out everything he had brought along with him. He had made 43 gold coins.

There were plenty of players from the Saintly Hall Guild and Tianhe Guild that were attracted to this spot. Big Trader was waiting just for them. Hence, he started posting the news about the Young Black Thorned Turtle again.

He believed that [Tianhe Emperor] would be interested in knowing about the Young Black Thorned Turtle.

Li Hanqiang had spent his time in The Chaotic City by riding the Young Black Thorned Turtle around out of boredom. Using his silver tongue, he had successfully convinced both Fanning Knight and Fiery Blade Sage to come over. 

Both of them were slightly depressed since they had to spend all of their hard-earned gold in buying an entry ticket.

However, they dared not to be absent today. Especially Fanning Knight, since his [Dark Shadow Charge Skill Book] was still in the hands of Li Hanqiang as he was afraid of anything awful that might happen to his book.

Suddenly, The Space-Time Wormhole opened and Big Trader was chuckling merrily. He had brought along 12 people with him.

Upon seeing that, Li Hanqiang was extremely ecstatic since he had easily made 21 entry tickets worth of money. This was worth 10 gold and 50 silver. Attending this auction was no easy feat.

"Welcome! Welcome!" Li Hanqiang greeted them while riding on the back of his mount. He noticed the person standing right in front of him was looking at him intently. He looked extremely handsome and elegant. That man was wearing a suit of silver armor which was extremely eye-catching. 

"Hmm? You are…" Li Hanqiang somehow felt that the man looked familiar to him as if he had seen him before. He violently slapped against his head as he suddenly recalled!

He was the leader of the Tianhe Guild, right? He could be considered a public figure since he had made himself well-known on the internet.

"This Big Trader is really capable, he has even attracted a famous person! However, it seems they are all from the same group. Is there no competition?" Li Hanqiang contemplated for a moment.

Tianhe Emperor and several other people were all focused on Li Hanqiang. All of them had a peculiar expression on their faces and it was just like when Big Trader had first seen the Young Black Thorned Turtle. They were all tempted to kick Li Hanqiang off its back.

"It really is a Young Black Thorned Turtle!" Tianhe Emperor said with a huge smile while nodding his head in pleasure. After taking a quick glance at Li Hanqiang, he said, "A 100 gold coins, or 30,000 in cash. Take your pick."

"Truly a firm and direct offer!" Li Hanqiang secretly commented that the Guild Leader was where he was for a reason. He could make big moves that others could not. However, the price he offered was not exactly satisfying to him.

Li Hanqiang proceeded to take a glance at Fanning Knight, giving him a hint.

Getting the hint, Fanning Knight approached them and said while chuckling out loud, "Hahahaha, you think a 100 gold coins could so easily buy you such a good mount. It's not possible. I shall offer 120 gold coins!"
