Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

Lin Yu's gaze instantly locked onto that ID: 【AAA Professional Material Seller】!

"AAA..." Lin Yu's lips twitched. The unpretentious and even slightly rustic commercial atmosphere that hit him instantly brought him back to the real world.

However, this name is indeed quite conspicuous in the trading group, indicating a very clear purpose.

He immediately clicked on the profile picture of "AAA Professional Materials Sales" and chose to send a private message.

Universe: Hello, I need steel ingots.

The other party responded extremely quickly, clearly indicating that someone was monitoring the transaction.

AAA specializes in selling materials: Hello, Universe Brother, welcome new customer! Steel ingots are available! Plenty of stock! Our group price is 20 steel ingots per set, only 15 game coins required.

How many sets do you need? A discount might be available for bulk orders! We support in-game currency transactions and also accept exchanges of equivalent items (subject to evaluation).

Universe: I need two sets of steel ingots, and I also have a large quantity of basic materials for sale.

Lin Yu thought for a moment. He figured that the iron gate upgrade would definitely require steel ingots, and this material would definitely be useful in the future. He decided to buy two sets first and see if that was enough.

As for selling materials, it's because he acquired too many basic materials in the previous game, and he definitely needs to sell some of them, since he can't use them all himself.

AAA specializes in selling materials: two sets totaling 30 game coins. Basic materials can be used as a discount, but if it's just ordinary stone, wood, scrap iron, etc... we do buy in large quantities, but I need to remind you that the price of basic materials in the community has dropped significantly, so you may need to consider carefully.

Lin Yu frowned upon seeing the other party's reply.

He mostly had ordinary stone, wood, iron, cloth, and plastic materials that he had salvaged from the stockade.

Universe: I mainly have common basic materials on hand: about 500 units of stone, 1000 units of wood, 500 units of iron, 500 units of cloth, 300 units of plastic... (and some miscellaneous materials such as glass).

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, as if they were calculating.

AAA, a professional seller of materials: Brother Universe, your quantity is indeed decent, but it's all the most basic materials, so its value isn't high.

Okay, since you're a new customer and a member of the group, I'll give you a package price.

AAA specializes in selling materials: Stone at 0.05 game coins per unit, Wood at 0.03, Iron at 0.05, Cloth at 0.03, Plastic at 0.04...

The total comes to 142 game coins.

AAA specializes in selling materials: Steel ingots are sold individually for 20 per set, two sets for a total of 30 game coins. That means if the transaction goes through, I'll give you a total of 112 game coins. Is that acceptable to you?

To be honest, the price is actually quite average. Lin Yu didn't expect the price of basic materials to be so low. Logically speaking, not every player can obtain a large amount of basic materials in the game like Lin Yu.

How can material prices be driven down to this level? Do these merchants have other channels for obtaining materials?

After thinking it over, Lin Yu finally decided to sell them. After all, these things were really useless to him. Of course, he didn't sell all the materials. The things mentioned above were only a part of his storage. He still had a lot of materials left.

Of course, he couldn't completely trust the price offered by the merchant; he still had to ask other people.

Lin Yu first made an excuse that he needed to ask the other brothers for their opinions, and then went to chat with other material merchants in private. The final conclusion was that the prices were all roughly the same, with only a very few materials having slight price differences.

Clearly, the current material prices should have been negotiated by these merchants, and there shouldn't be any significant discrepancies.

Lin Yu immediately agreed to the deal.

AAA specializes in selling materials: No problem. Brother Universe, how do you plan to trade? We can provide door-to-door service, but there will be an extra 1 game coin delivery fee.

Lin Yu thought about it and decided to skip the trip and just go to their place to trade. He could afford to pay 1 game coin.

The other party said there was no problem and, after Lin Yu chose the delivery location, arranged for someone to come to his door.

They were quick to act, and Lin Yu didn't have to wait long before a man dragging a suitcase arrived at Lin Yu's room door.

With the money exchanged for the goods, Lin Yu quickly gained 111 game coins and 40 steel ingots.

The upgrade materials that had been troubling him were instantly obtained, and his game currency balance also increased to 272.

The upgrade needs to be done in the game, there's no rush now. Lin Yu's gaze turned towards the entertainment area.

"Time Cabin..." Lin Yu's eyes gleamed.

He definitely needs to go to the Time Hut to try and learn how to draw talismans, since this is his future way to make money.

However, before that, he needs to spend money to buy some equipment and items to improve his strength. After that, he also needs to upgrade all the equipment he has. Only after these fixed expenses are paid can he consider in detail how much money he should spend to go to the Time Hut for seclusion.

Looking at the constantly scrolling transaction information in the group chat, Lin Yu took a deep breath.

Improving one's strength is of utmost importance, and game currency is the key to unlocking that strength.

After thinking for a moment, he began to sort through the items in his backpack that he didn't need for the time being. Soon, he found some items that were completely useless to him.

The [Ghostly Claw] has no level requirement. Its attack power is average, and it's useless except for its ability to attack ghosts. However, this effect should still be attractive to other ordinary players. Let's see if it sells for 5 game coins, the price of a normal black iron-grade equipment.

The Black Iron grade [Cavalry Iron Helmet] is actually not bad, but it provides too little improvement for Lin Yu at his current level. He plans to replace it with a Bronze grade headgear, so it's better to put it up for sale. Since the durability hasn't suffered much loss, he's priced it at 5 game coins.

Black Iron grade [Multi-pocket Cargo Pants], for the same reason as above, priced at 5 game coins.

Two Black Iron-grade [Exorcism Talismans] have decent effects, but they're not very useful to Lin Yu. Two talismans for 4 game coins should be enough to attract buyers.

The Iron-grade skill card [Secondary Damage] and the Bronze skill [Charged Attack] are actually a bit awkward. Lin Yu only has two skill slots. One of them is definitely the Green Mountain Path Seven Demon Subduing Techniques, whose attack power far exceeds these two skills. The other skill slot is to be switched between other skills depending on the situation. Therefore, these two skills are likely to be unusable, so it is better to sell them.

Listed for sale: Iron grade, priced at 15 game coins; Bronze grade, priced at 30 game coins.

"Hopefully, they can be sold quickly." Lin Yu took screenshots of the items' information, edited the descriptions, and sent them to the Bronze Exchange Group as a package for sale.

The moment the message was sent, private chat notifications started ringing incessantly.

Clearly, in this resource-scarce neighborhood, anything that can enhance one's status will find a buyer, especially if it's reasonably priced.

Soon, a buyer took a liking to the items and messaged Lin Yu privately. After some haggling, Lin Yu successfully sold all the equipment for 62 game coins.
