The audience was silent. No one thought that Yaeger would kill someone without saying a word.
Nangong Lin stared at Yaeger with her eyes shining: It’s so beautiful when Princess kills decisively!
If it was the male version of Yaeger who shot just now, she wouldn’t have such positive thoughts.
(Humph, killing someone if they don’t agree. Male animals are such savages!)
That’s right. She had such double standards for men.1
Rakshasa praised Princess in her heart. The player named Vast Sky not only incited the other players in the forums to fight against Princess, but also deliberately pushed them to raise hell. It was a crime beyond forgiveness!
For this kind of person who would watch as the entire world burns down around them, Yaeger’s act of player-killing appealed to everyone!
Well, no matter whether Yaeger was wrong or right, Rakshasa would always take her side.
At this time, someone found that Princess’ level was unexpectedly 10 and her name was colored in red!
I just foolishly followed others to attempt to fight with a level 10 closed beta player. How much of a r̲e̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ am I?!
He didn’t know if it was an illusion. The man found that Princess’ red name seemed to have turned a deeper shade of red.
I can’t afford to offend her! I can’t afford to offend her! I can’t afford to offend her!
He then slipped away!
“One piece of green equipment for 30,000 and three pieces of green equipment for 100,000?” A 25 or 26-year-old looking young man emerged out of the crowd and asked with spite, “Are you selling bamboo rats?”2
“If you need a bamboo rat, I can get it for you. Same price, 30,000 for one and 100,000 for three.”
Yaeger said casually.
S̲h̲i̲t̲! You think we’re idiots!3
The youth’s eyelids twitched and he said again: “Can’t you offer a little more of a discount?”
This young man was different from most players. He had plenty of money so it’s nothing for him to spend a few thousands to enjoy the game.
However, money didn’t grow on trees. One should save it if they could.
“This is already the best price. I would take a loss if I give any more of a discount.” Yaeger looked sad, evoking everyone’s pity.
This look made everyone fall into a trance. They couldn’t wait to take out their money.
However, the thought of not having much money in the pocket made many people calm down.
At the same time, they were shocked. They almost rush over and spend all their money just now. This woman was so terrible!
Seeing that the price couldn’t be lowered further, the youth frowned slightly. As a person who had played online games for more than ten years, he naturally knew that if he had good equipment in the early stage, he would surely be able to lead other players by a large margin and get the maximum benefit.
However, the price was too high and the price-performance ratio was relatively low.
After pondering for a while, the youth decided to buy some.
“I want this armor.”
“Thank you for your patronage!”
Yaeger happily received 30,000 RMB.
“I want these boots.”
“Thank you for your patronage!”
“I’ll take this sword.”
“Thank you for your patronage!”
The young man put away his equipment and the corners of his mouth curled upward, showing a smug smile: Oh, I saved 10,000. How resourceful of me!
It turned out that he bought each piece of equipment separately to save 10,000 RMB.4
Rakshasa blinked her eyes, trying not to laugh out loud. Did this fool think that he made a profit?
One must know that the three pieces of equipment he bought just now were those received by Yaeger while strolling on the road. The NPC’s gave them to her free of charge!
Some players looked at the young man’s complacent appearance and the corners of their eyes couldn’t help twitching. There really were all kinds of people in the world.
The reason why Yaeger offered such a strange price was to make people like this young man feel that they had taken advantage of a great offer.
After all, such prices for green equipment were inherently pitfalls.
Hearing that buying three pieces together was more expensive than buying a single piece, many people would come up with the idea “Which method is more cost-effective?”
Then they will jump into the pit and bury themselves exactly like that.
Many players were still watching from the sidelines. They didn’t know much about the game. What was the value of these green equipment and whether they were rare or not still needed to be carefully studied. They didn’t want to be a foolish spendthrift.
On the other side, Yaeger and Rakshasa were happily sharing the spoils.
Rakshasa: Hehe, I want to buy lots of beautiful clothes!
Although her family was not short of money, this money was earned by her own efforts and it filled her with a sense of accomplishment.
Nangong Lin was slightly depressed and always felt that she was redundant here.
Some players in the crowd looked at the equipment and their eyes were full of greed, their hearts filled with devious thoughts. However, because Yaeger’s level was too high, no one dared to grab them.
Some players started to leave the square and couldn’t wait to embark on their own adventure.
These players didn’t know that what was waiting for them ahead was just a nightmare.5
“Have you heard?” Someone in the crowd said suddenly.
“What?”
“I heard that the death penalty of this game was very serious and it deducts a lot of Experience Points of the player! If you don’t have any experience to deduct, you have to stay in prison instead!”
“Dang! Does it need to be so realistic!?”
“Yeah. I heard my aunt’s cousin’s cousin’s classmate’s sister-in-law say that her little nephew was imprisoned in that white space! It was impossible to get out within that half an hour!”6
“Hiss!” When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spine. Half an hour was neither long nor short. However, if there were too many deaths, one entire day may be used up just like that!
Moreover, only god knows whether the death penalty would increase with the number of deaths!
“Either have your experience deducted or stay in prison. Is this broken game even playable?” [Kitty Rabbit] Sammie frowned slightly. She was a popular female broadcaster at BiliBili. If she got killed during any live broadcast, wouldn’t it be a live broadcast of her getting imprisoned in a small black room?
Who would want to watch such a thing!?7
She’d rather live stream that fairy-like sister who was selling equipment instead of her own failures.
Thinking this way, Kitty Rabbit locked her eyes on Yaeger and immediately started the live broadcast.
In the real world, there were quite a few horndogs who had been eagerly awaiting the chance to flatter and fawn over ‘Kitty Rabbit’. When they saw that the livestream had started, their eyes gleamed with lecherous light as they prepared to let the bootlicking commence.
But they saw a strange figure.
Immediately afterward, the livestream exploded into a frenz

He tricked people into buying three watermelons separately to “teach” him how to do business, yet it was actually the other way round, he tricked them into buying three pieces…
