Dark Eldar

Sometimes, the map is poorly lit (a characteristic feature). There are also moments when it's slightly brighter. This setting has its pros and cons in "simulating" the real world, but it's also a natural progression. Perhaps the heroes on the map have gradually adapted to the dark and damp environment through their tireless work day and night? If analyzed according to "data," it's related to "rendering" in relation to air density.

At Pris Fortress (111338), Loki's backpack was finally full. His carrying capacity had also reached 60. Unlike the freelancer "Ludar," Loki did not purchase an extravagant magical backpack (Life Skill: Sewing; Master level).

"It's so heavy! Luckily my backpack isn't too big! Otherwise, I might have been completely full, and that would have been terrible," Loki muttered to himself.

He's quite right; most heroes believe the bigger the backpack, the better. Some even add backpacks to their mounts... But actually, only heroes like Loki, who frequently farm materials, truly understand this.

"Too many good things can't be taken with you when you die; endless greed will only become a burden and a liability..."

Where to sell the materials? That's a problem. Since Loki is no longer a high-ranking member of the otherworldly guild, he no longer has the right to use the existing "Guild Warehouse" and "Dynamic Guild Warehouse" (VIP3 exclusive). As for retaining the contribution points from the bank's special warehouse? The newly opened maps are all quite remote; among the six major cities, Olga Castle (to the west) is probably the closest.

However, it seems not worthwhile to store them in the main city, especially considering that Loki already has many old items in his backpack that haven't been dealt with.

"I guess I'll have to check out the new shops." Loki pondered for a while, then decided to visit the shops in the nearby Plains of Bitterness (818211). Perhaps he could make some new discoveries. (Note: In early versions, starting from Ancient Times, the shops and general stores on each map were all very similar. Later, "Order" gradually improved the system to make "unique elements" more memorable, so the "auction house" was also moved to medium-sized towns. Unfortunately, Plains of Bitterness is only a "third-tier city," so it probably doesn't have an auction house anymore.)

There are quite a few "street vendor" ALTPs, but a high-ranking hero like Loki, who already has some "status," is unlikely to lower himself. However, if he urgently needs money, then Loki might "set up a stall" too...

The Plains of Bitterness (818211) is a brightly lit map! Perhaps Loki spent too long at the fortress? How long exactly did Loki grind the giant elite armored monsters at the Pris Fortress? Loki only recorded the approximate time. He wanted to save time and increase efficiency. His plan was to fill his backpack to the brim! However, Loki's backpack, after all, was specially made by a master-level sewing elf elder. Aside from its rarity and lightweight features, its number of slots and carrying capacity (1024 slots; ≈ 1 ton) already reached the pinnacle of "1024 styles"!

"Look at this! Lowest price online! Love it! Lowest price for iron essence!"

"Lowest price! Lowest price! Rock-bottom price! Mighty blue armor leg guards are free with a cow XXXXX..."

As soon as Loki flew to the Plains of Bitterness, the sounds of wind and vendors' cries filled the air (as shown in the window)! Most of them claimed to offer the lowest prices on the entire network (channel 12)! They were probably like Loki, with their backpacks full and unwilling to sell cheaply to unscrupulous NPC shopkeepers.

There were vendors and onlookers, mostly humans. Orc heroes occasionally set up stalls, a tactic they learned from the humans. Dwarves, due to their better relationship with goblins and their racial trait of "burden carrying," were incredibly hardworking! They would also diligently transport their hard-earned metal materials back to Casterly Rock. (Casterly Rock; the capital city of dwarves, gnomes, goblins, and troggs; coordinates 111129)

Amidst the bustling crowd, Loki quickly clicked to take a look.

"It's nothing compared to what I have in my backpack; most of it is just ordinary iron armor dropped by monsters. There's only one piece of purple NA iron essence, and it's selling for a whopping 999G!" Loki thought to himself, knowing it was an inflated price. In the previous version, 999G would have been a mad rush, but now copper, iron, tin ingots, and other metal elements are everywhere. The reason Loki no longer uses his artifact, the "Hammer of the Creator," to forge and synthesize higher-quality metal items is simply because there's no need now.

"You're really daring to sell, young man," Loki remarked casually.

"Hmm, you guys can't hit it, so you probably have it too? I don't think that's possible." The person selling things at the stall was a middle-aged or young human warrior. (T class)

"You're right! ...Please continue. I won't bother you any longer." Loki was extremely polite. With his artifact in hand, he already understood that there was no need to argue with any irrational heroes now... Besides, he was no longer a "hero from another world." He had no real authority in terms of "voice." (Note: There's a significant difference between heroes and mages with "other world" auras/titles and those without. Some people mistakenly believe they are "heroes from another world" who failed their advancement... Especially in the major cities, there are many such heroes who failed their advancement. Some of them do well later, becoming sheriffs, lawyers, priests, or messengers, etc. But they are a minority! Others later become镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) and are rampant in the "black market"...)
