Nie Yan smiled wryly and said, "Aren't you being silly?"

Seeing Yaoyao accept Nie Yan's gift, Yue'er and Fei Yun were incredibly surprised. They both understood Yaoyao's personality. She usually didn't accept gifts from others, only small things like greeting cards on her birthday. Today, she actually accepted the gold equipment Nie Yan gave her. There must be something going on!

"Yaoyao, what is he to you?" Yue'er privately messaged Yaoyao.

"He's a good friend of mine," Yaoyao replied, feeling slightly guilty.

"Just a good friend?" Yue'er looked at Yaoyao mischievously, her face clearly saying she didn't believe it.

"Really, just a good friend." Yaoyao said, forcing herself, afraid that Yue'er would ask too many questions. She couldn't deny that she had some affection for Nie Yan, but it wasn't anything deep.

After all, Yaoyao didn't understand her place in Nie Yan's heart. The things that happened in his past life, although deeply buried, weren't so easily erased.

"Okay, let's say he's just a good friend," Yue'er said with a smile. She had seen through something.

"Yue'er, Yaoyao, I have something to do, I'll leave first." Fei Yun was ignored by Nie Yan, and Yue'er and Yaoyao were chatting privately without paying attention to her. Feeling bored, she got up to say goodbye.

"Goodbye, Fei Yun." Yue'er waved.

Yaoyao acted like she didn't care.

Nie Yan completely ignored her existence. His cold attitude made Fei Yun extremely angry, and she left resentfully.

Yue'er and Yaoyao bought some things at the auction house.

"Nie Yan, we're going to level up now. Sister Yu Lan is urging us to go over quickly." Yaoyao checked the chat log and said to Nie Yan.

"Okay, let's chat another day." Nie Yan replied, and said goodbye to Yaoyao and Yue'er.

Nie Yan checked the system prompts.

System: Your Flash Dust has been sold, earning 2 silver coins and 10 copper coins.

System: Your Flash Dust has been sold, earning 2 silver coins and 5 copper coins.

System: Your Polymorph Scroll has been sold, earning 5 silver coins and 20 copper coins.

...

The money in Nie Yan's backpack increased rapidly. Flash Dust, Webbing Scrolls, and Polymorph Scrolls were only released in limited quantities, so they could be sold at a higher price. If too many of a single item appeared on the market, the price would not go up. Selling too much would slowly saturate the market.

By the time the game was about to close, eight portions of Flash Dust, six Webbing Scrolls, and five Polymorph Scrolls had been sold, earning about fifty silver coins. During the auction, Nie Yan went to those small towns to buy bat teeth, but he found that not many people were willing to sell bat teeth to him at a low price anymore. The news that the Advanced Blacksmith Kardi was buying bat teeth had somehow leaked out, and the players were selling all the bat teeth in their hands to the Advanced Blacksmith Kardi. Since there was no money to be made, he gave up. After all, he had found two other ways to make money.

Nie Yan could temporarily sell Flash Dust, Webbing Technique, and Polymorph, and when the price of Black Phenol Potion rose, Nie Yan would gradually release the Black Phenol Potion to the market.

Before going offline, Nie Yan bought all the raw materials, finished products, and formulas related to Black Phenol Potion on the market. He calculated that he currently had eight hundred bottles of Black Phenol Potion, three thousand two hundred portions of Black Phenol Potion materials, and two hundred twenty formulas for Black Phenol Potion. Due to Nie Yan's crazy purchases, there was almost no Black Phenol Potion on the market. The price had risen slightly. Since no one was competing with Nie Yan for this kind of thing at the moment, the auction price was not high, so Nie Yan's purchase price was not high.

The key was those two hundred twenty formulas for Black Phenol Potion, which were enough to affect the future market price of Black Phenol Potion. In his past life, the price of Black Phenol Potion formulas was not high at the beginning. When the Soth Mountains opened, the apothecaries discovered the market for Black Phenol Potion, so they bought the formulas and went back to make Black Phenol Potion for sale. But even so, the Black Phenol Potion produced by the apothecaries was still far from enough to supply so many guild's dungeon elite teams. Under such huge demand, the price of Black Phenol Potion rose steadily. The price of the Black Phenol Potion formula also rose.

But now, there were two hundred twenty fewer Black Phenol Potion formulas on the market out of nowhere. In other words, in the future, there would be two hundred twenty fewer apothecaries who could continuously produce Black Phenol Potion. Under the huge demand gap, the increase in the price of Black Phenol Potion would definitely be higher than in his previous life.

In this way, Nie Yan would definitely make a lot of money through Black Phenol Potion in the future.

Half a month after the Soth Mountains opened, the Level 5 dungeon Medusa's Lair would open. Those guilds who wanted to seize the opportunity for development would definitely flock to the Level 5 dungeon like a tide. Medusa, a creature whose attacks have a petrification effect, and when the dungeon opens, the prices of anti-petrification equipment, potions, etc., will also skyrocket. Now he can slowly hoard anti-petrification equipment and potions.

Nie Yan looked at his backpack. Currently, there was one gold coin and sixty-three silver coins in his backpack. This was remarkable in the early stages, when he was only level seven. Because in the current situation, the purchasing power of one silver coin was quite amazing. The most expensive piece of gold equipment on the market was only thirty or forty silver coins.

Nie Yan sorted out his backpack and personal warehouse. Rows of raw materials and potions for Black Phenol Potion were neatly placed in the personal warehouse, which was quite spectacular. The basic space of the personal warehouse was two hundred slots, and no rent was required. For every two hundred slots opened, an additional copper coin would be paid per day. Nie Yan opened more than five thousand slots of personal warehouse space just to make it barely enough, but this amount of money was almost negligible for Nie Yan.

After dealing with everything in the game, Nie Yan logged out of the game when the game was about to close.

Nie Yan took out a nutritional supplement from the refrigerator, sat at the dining table and drank it. He glanced at the old house. From the somewhat outdated wallpaper on the wall to the chandelier covered with grease, there was a familiar and kind feeling.

He hadn't heard from his parents for a long time, but Nie Yan, who understood the truth, no longer blamed them. His parents went to the border at the risk of death in order for him to have a superior living condition, what qualifications did he have to blame them?

If Nie Yan's parents risked contacting Nie Yan, what awaited them was likely death. Nie Yan could only be patient and wait for their news.

After drinking the nutritional supplement, Nie Yan continued his daily exercise, training agility, reaction, and strength.

Wearing a helmet to play the game had one advantage. The helmet would release biological currents to stimulate people's nerves and keep the muscles active. The results of human exercise during the day would not disappear due to sleep at night. Exercising for one day was equivalent to the effect of exercising for ten days in the past.

In addition, Nie Yan's exercise methods had been proper these days, and his nutrition was well supplemented. In a few days, he had developed thick muscles, and his figure was rapidly rising and becoming stronger. Eighteen or nineteen-year-old children were at the time when they were growing, and he was almost changing every day now.

Dong dong dong, a burst of rapid knocking sounded.

Nie Yan stopped. The soundproofing effect of the door was not very good. Judging from the chaotic footsteps outside the door, there were at least five or six people coming.
