43. Su Yu x Humanoid Toy Car ✓

After acquiring a dual-movement-speed cuirass, Su Yu intended to replicate the process and replace all his equipment with dual-movement-speed gear.

However, he encountered a problem—his inventory was full, and he needed to sell off his previously enhanced equipment.

According to the game rules, equipment that had already been equipped or given as quest rewards could not be traded with players, whereas equipment dropped by wild monsters and in dungeons was tradeable.

The seven rare-quality cuirasses he had just enhanced had never been worn, so they could be traded to players.

Should he list these items for sale in the cargo warehouse? Would that be a wise move?

After ten seconds of thought, Su Yu shook his head.

He could not list them in the cargo warehouse.

If he put dozens of rare-quality equipment items on the warehouse market all at once, any player with even a shred of common sense would be able to deduce his unique talent from this.

At this stage, he needed to maintain secrecy and prevent others from figuring him out.

It would be best to sell the equipment through alternative channels.

What channel could he use?

Got it!

Su Yu left the cargo warehouse and found the village NPC, Brian the Mercenary Merchant.

He spent 20 psionic coins per day to rent an official booth from him.

A standard stall casually set up by an ordinary player lacked system protection, meaning the goods could be snatched away by passing pedestrians.

Official system booths came with system protection and allowed a "consignment" status, enabling players to leave their goods at the stall and walk away at any time.

Su Yu arrived at the mercenary trading market, where the official stalls were located.

The mercenary trading market was content that had not yet been officially unlocked in the game, so it was completely deserted, without a single NPC in sight.

Precisely because there were no NPCs, the player population here was also extremely sparse.

Su Yu found his assigned stall at the entrance and placed all seven rare cuirasses on display.

The level 3 rare ones were priced at 320 psionic coins, and the level 5 rare ones at 520 psionic coins.

He was not looking to make a massive profit; breaking even was enough for him.

As for the stall's name, he titled it: "Rare Little Shop: A Large Quantity of Rare-Quality Equipment Sold at Low Prices."

Having done all this, Su Yu turned around and headed back to the cargo warehouse to continue working on his dual-movement-speed gear.

......

Not long after Su Yu left.

Two players who were wandering around other villages happened to pass through the mercenary trading market.

Seeing Su Yu's stall, one of them immediately laughed, "Look at that! Which sucker actually paid for an official booth?"

His companion laughed as well, "Yeah! Completely wasting two hundred bucks, what a massive loss! Though the shop name is kind of funny—'Rare Little Shop, a large quantity of rare-quality equipment'..."

As this player read up to that point, his expression changed drastically!

This was because, up until now, not a single tradeable rare-quality piece of equipment had ever appeared in the game—not even one!

The two players hurriedly stepped forward to inspect the items.

Shortly after, two exclamations of shock rang out across the mercenary trading market:

"Good heavens! They really are tradeable rare equipment pieces!"

"And there are a whole seven of them!"

"Just who on earth is selling these items?"

"No, I have to take a screenshot and post it on the forums right now!"

......

The news that "a large amount of rare equipment has appeared in the mercenary trading market" spread like wildfire.

Before long, the entire Nolan Village was in an uproar! Players looking for excitement swarmed in, packing the previously deserted mercenary market to the brim.

Five or six minutes later, Su Yu returned to the mercenary market once more.

By this time, he had already equipped a full set of dual-movement-speed gear.

[Hills Sheepskin Hood] Movement Speed +0.6, [Wind-Like Leather Armor] Movement Speed +0.7, [Windtalker Legguards] +0.8, [Flannel Gloves] +0.4, [Bone Tooth Boots] +1.2, [Spider Silver Silk Pauldrons] +0.4, [Wild-Boar-Hide Belt] +0.5.

Armor-class equipment in "Evolution" was divided from top to bottom into seven categories: hats, pauldrons, cuirasses, gloves, belts, leggings, and boots.

Aside from armor-class gear, there were also two ring slots, one necklace slot, and two trinket slots.

However, jewelry and trinkets were only dropped by monsters above level 10; items below level 10, such as the [Goddess's Tear], were only given as quest rewards, and no players were selling them in the cargo warehouse.

After equipping a full set of movement-speed gear, Su Yu's movement speed was increased by 4.6. Combined with his initial movement speed of 1.2, his current movement speed reached a staggering 5.8!

What did a movement speed of 5.8 actually mean?

This speed made Su Yu feel as though he had broken free from the constraints of gravity. Walking alone allowed him to reach a speed of 5.8 meters per second, and running enabled him to achieve a terrifying speed close to 29 meters per second!

You had to know that the speed of an ordinary racehorse was 400 meters per minute, and the running speed of an ordinary tiger was only 20 meters per second!

Although Su Yu's speed might still not match that of the [Moon-Howling Wolf King], shaking off the [Wolf King Guards] would certainly be an absolute breeze.

Relying on this speed, he finally possessed the capital to engage the Wolf King in battle.

......

Outside the market, Su Yu had an oversized leather backpack slung over his shoulder, containing dozens of enhanced rare equipment items.

This leather backpack had been purchased from the village leatherworker for 20 psionic coins.

On one hand, it was to transport these rare equipment items all at once;

On the other hand, it was also in preparation for the Wolf King's drops.

The monster siege boss would drop dozens of items at once, which would be evenly distributed among the participating players. If Su Yu didn't prepare a large leather backpack, he might not even be able to carry away all of the Wolf King's loot.

Standing at the entrance of the mercenary trading market, Su Yu looked at the players crowding three layers deep around his stall, feeling his scalp tingle slightly.

He hadn't expected that putting up those equipment items for sale would cause such a massive sensation.

No matter, [Invisibility] had a characteristic called "ignoring volume collision"; relying on [Invisibility], he could easily blend right in.

Thinking of this, Su Yu silently activated [Invisibility].

Nearby players were also glancing sideways at Su Yu because, among all the players present, Su Yu was the only one carrying an oversized, bulging backpack.

What was this? Could the system's built-in inventory no longer satisfy this brother?

Seeing Su Yu, one player walked over and patted Su Yu on the shoulder: "Hey, buddy, where did you buy your backpack from..."

However, right before his hand landed on Su Yu's shoulder, Su Yu's [Invisibility] took effect.

The guy patted thin air and instantly froze.

Two seconds later, he suddenly began to scream at the top of his lungs in sheer terror: "Ghost! Help! Help!"

The surrounding players immediately cast contemptuous glances in his direction: "He probably just logged offline, what on earth are you screaming and yelling for?"

Only after shouting for a while did the guy realize he had made a fool of himself. He offered an awkward, sheepish smile and stopped talking.

......

Su Yu, having cast [Invisibility], moved swiftly through the crowd and reached his stall in a flash.

Six of the seven items on the stall had already been sold, with only the level 5 [Red Wolf Leather Jacket] remaining unsold.

At this moment, quite a few older players were gathered around his stall, and these guys were actually running a gambling pool on this single remaining item!

"I bet the last item sells within an hour! 50 psionic coins!"

"I'll take that bet!"

"Daring to make a bigger wager? Say, 500 psionic coins?"

"Do you take me for an idiot? If I wanted to bet 500, wouldn't I just buy it myself? Fifty, let's go!"
