Wang Zhifan communicated with this so-called Mr. Han for less than ten minutes, and they reached an agreement over the communications.

The other party stated that their boss is willing to purchase Wang Zhifan's rare-grade long knife for 4.9 million Xia Country currency, but Wang Zhifan must transact in person, with cash and goods exchanged face to face.

As for the transaction time and location, they negotiated it to be tomorrow afternoon at a certain commercial building in Jinlin City, which seemed not too problematic.

"They actually arranged the transaction site in a big city, which is indeed a bit surprising to me. Is it to make it look more genuine?"

Wang Zhifan still judged that the other party was 99% likely to be a scammer, but confident in his own abilities, he didn't mind playing along with them.

"Jinlin City is only a three-hour high-speed train ride from where I am currently, Dongjiang City, and since it's a mature line, tickets are very easy to buy. Should I spend a few hundred bucks on train fare to meet them?"

Wang Zhifan knew that if he really went to find them for the transaction, he would likely fall into some trap and waste time, so he hesitated slightly.

"Forget it, dealing with these scammers is not as good as sleeping at home. I shouldn't waste my energy on them."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan still decided not to really go for the appointment and transaction the next day. After all, he had been chatting with the other party out of curiosity and amusement, not really to sell the equipment and exchange it for money.

"I'll keep contemplating the sale of my Poison Fang Dagger. Someone should really buy this weapon."

Wang Zhifan was currently preparing to sell his rare-grade Poison Fang Dagger. Even though he didn't care for it and couldn't use it himself, in reality, this weapon still had appeal to many players because of its attack accompanying a not insignificant amount of poison. The poison can stack up to ten layers, proving useful when addressing many instance monsters, especially for players from the Assassin profession who are adept at using daggers with speedy attacks, this is almost an ideal weapon.

Thus, Wang Zhifan quickly forgot all about the coal boss and closed the communication software, concentrating intently on the Poison Fang sale post he had published in the player forum, occasionally responding to private messages from those with buying intentions.

It had been a while since he had published the post, and this Poison Fang sale post had become considerably popular on the forum, essentially a moderately trending post, attracting many forum users to reply.

Reply 200: "Is this weapon with these properties the rare-grade weapon you veteran players keep talking about? Seems pretty lame. Looks like it's not as good as a single strand from the equipment on my Thousand Illusion World Assassin account."

Reply 201: "Where did this newbie upstairs come from? Your account equipment is nothing more than electronic trash. Attributes are just a matter of a programmer's line of code; can it compare with the real equipment the poster has published? Absolutely ridiculous!"

Reply 202: "Personally, I predict the poster's Poison Fang could sell for around 2 million Xia Country currency. If it meets a wealthy Assassin, there's hope it could reach 3 million. It's a good item, just its applicable scope is a bit narrow. If it were swapped for a rare-grade handgun, it could easily sell for 5 million."

Reply 203: "That guy really seems knowledgeable. The poster's luck still can't compare to those who score big with firearms. The Gunner profession is too popular, everything is priced sky-high. With so many newcomers joining lately, the price of firearm equipment is bound to surge further."

Reply 204: "Yes, when can someone adjust the balance between professions? I feel like encountering melee professions during instances is getting rarer, they're all using guns or magic staves."

Reply 205: "Adjusting profession balance? Do you think this is a video game run by some company?"

Reply 206: "Actually, it's not impossible. I feel this extraordinary game could have been created by some mysterious advanced civilization. We players are just their entertainment guinea pigs. When they get tired of playing, they might adjust the balance of profession equipment or something..."

Reply 207: "I don't think that's the case. There's currently no indication that this extraordinary game has personified traits. Considering things like instances and the Gray Realm, it might be the miracle product of some fused multi-dimensional worlds, with the Gray Realm being expressed as a glitch of this product..."

The replies from players in the post ranged across a wide spectrum. Many had nothing to do with the purpose of Wang Zhifan's post, as the topic kept diverging further. Wang Zhifan merely glanced at the forum players' replies, taking it as a leisurely read for amusement, focusing more on private messages that he took seriously for communication with key potential customers.

Private Message 14: "Poster, I'll offer 3.5 million Xia Country currency for your dagger. I will decide the transaction time and location. Do you accept?"

Poster: "Specific time, location?"

Private Message 14: "One week later, in Desolate Town. I'll provide specific coordinates when the time comes."

Poster: "A week's too long. I can't wait. How about today or tomorrow? Also, where is Desolate Town?"

Private Message 14: "Why are you in such a hurry? No one gathers money in one day. Desolate Town is in our Xia Country's southwest, you'll know once you cross the border."

...

Private Message 15: "Poster, I'll bid 2 million Xia Country currency, cash and goods exchanged face to face, but the transaction must be completed within one day. Is that okay?"

Poster: "Transaction location?"

Private Message 15: "Ruxin Cafe, No. 231, Path of Prosperity and Strength, Jinlin City."

Poster: "That place is a bit far from me. Completing the transaction within one day is a bit rushed. Can you offer 2.2 million to cover travel expenses?"

Private Message 15: "2.1 million."

...

After communicating with all potential customers who messaged him privately, Wang Zhifan discovered that the highest offer he had received so far was 2.1 million Xia Country currency. This price was a bit shy of his ideal price, but not too far off. Most importantly, he was currently in need of money, so he had some intention of attending the appointment to see about the transaction.

"This player offering 2.1 million is eager to get the dagger today, probably waiting to use it in an instance. If it works out, that's fine. I'm also keen to buy a scroll for a house."

Since the Poison Fang Dagger wouldn't be his final item to sell, and acquiring other same-grade equipment would be relatively easy in the future, Wang Zhifan didn't intend to hold it for a high price, planning to sell it quickly to obtain his first sum of money and embark on the path to becoming a Fu.

Of course, before making this decision, he specifically went to look and inquire around Tianhua Street wearing glasses and a mask, getting quotes from stores and finding that businesses were rather pressing on the price, willing to offer at most around 1.4 million. So, he ultimately decided to find someone for a private transaction, left Tianhua Street, and directly took the high-speed train to Jinlin City.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Han from the coal boss also wants to meet in Jinlin City. If I have time on this trip, I can check out their game plans."

In the middle of this day, sitting on the train, watching the scenery flying past outside the window, Wang Zhifan thought to himself.
