Others were also filled with anticipation, as the upcoming trading fair was indeed very attractive to them.
Moreover, this trading fair was being prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival event.
Every year, the Mid-Autumn Festival event offered very rich rewards. Similarly, the competition was fierce, as there were only so many rewards to go around, and one needed sufficient strength to obtain them.
Although they were all unsure what kind of event would appear this Mid-Autumn Festival, enhancing one's strength was always a good idea.
However, speaking of good things, Lin Tan's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Zhou Yan.
"You fellow is so rich, you must have a lot of good stuff. Why don't you bring out the good things first, and we can trade among ourselves."
Lin Tan gazed at Zhou Yan with longing eyes, looking as if he were a wronged woman in a deep boudoir. If this were a woman, it wouldn't be so strange, but for a grown man to look at another man like this was quite awkward.
Lin Tan's words indeed shifted the gazes of the others towards Zhou Yan. None of them had a clear idea of just how wealthy Zhou Yan was. For someone as mysterious as him, he was sure to possess many good things.
"That's right, you brat, don't be stingy. Show us all the good stuff, sister!" Luo Yushuang's cunning eyes also fixed on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan looked at everyone and said directly, "If you want to trade, you'll have to bring out something that tempts me. After all, my things are not easily obtained. You bring yours out first, and then I'll bring out what you need."
They naturally understood this principle. Friends were friends, but good things couldn't be given away for free. They also didn't want to receive favors for nothing. Trading items of similar value among friends was perfectly acceptable.
Moreover, they could tell from Zhou Yan's words that he had a lot of good things, and it seemed he could produce whatever they needed.
They were old acquaintances of Zhou Yan and naturally wouldn't doubt the truth of his words. Zhou Yan indeed had the financial capacity to acquire many good items.
"I'll go first." Lin Tan placed three items on the table.
These three items were all good. The first was a diamond-quality cape, and it was an equipment with a luck bonus. Here, only Zhou Yan, Ye Bufan, and Zhuge Kaiming were suitable to use it.
Capes for women also existed, but they were very rare. This piece of equipment was marked for male use, so Luo Yushuang and the others only glanced at it.
The second item was, unexpectedly, a spirit-grade bow and arrow. Spirit artifacts themselves were rare, and bow and arrow type weapons were even rarer. This weapon immediately made everyone's heart flutter.
"You're quite something, to have such a spirit-grade weapon. Too bad I don't like using bows and arrows, and I'm not willing to exchange such a weapon for my subordinates," Gu Nianyun said, looking at the weapon. If it were a spirit-grade greatsword, she would have been the first to make a move.
As for the third item, it was a skill book, and it was a skill book for a life profession. After use, one would gain an SSS-level tailoring skill.
Besides Zhou Yan, no one else showed much interest in this skill book.
"How is it, everyone? Have you seen anything you like?" Lin Tan hoped that everyone would offer some items that interested him in exchange.
Seeing that no one spoke, it was clear they were not very interested in Lin Tan's items. Zhou Yan directly asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"
For him, these three items were all things he could take or leave. Moreover, he had many good things, and it all depended on what the other party needed.
"High-quality farming-type buildings, or items and skills that can boost farming lords. The type is negotiable."
Lin Tan was a farming lord, so he naturally sought items he needed. After all, for farming lords like them, the Mid-Autumn Festival event was just a formality. They didn't develop large armies; they focused on farming.
After listening, Zhou Yan began searching his territory for items and replied, "Forget about buildings, let me see if I have any items that can help you."
He himself lacked high-level buildings, so how could he have any extra to trade?
His territory had an abundance of items. Fortunately, he had built seven or eight treasure rooms to store different items separately, each with its own function.
Zhou Yan quickly found dozens of items that were very useful to farming lords. He took out ten, each of which was of S-quality or above.
However, he did not take out anything above R-quality.
After placing the items on the table, Zhou Yan said, "Choose."
Everyone looked at the items on the table and began to examine them one by one.
"Are you a professional merchant? How do you have so many good things for farming lords?"
Luo Yushuang looked at these items with great curiosity. Zhou Yan was not only rich and powerful but also an adventurer type, yet he had more good items than even merchant lords.
After seeing these items, everyone was once again shocked by Zhou Yan's financial prowess. This was the mark of a wealthy person, casually bringing out dozens of high-quality items.
"Don't you need any of these?" Zhao Qingwu, who had remained silent, spoke for the first time, pointing to an item in front of Zhou Yan.
Zhao Qingwu spoke gently, but her appearance was naturally cold. However, after interacting with her, one would realize that she was not a cold person.
"What I brought out are naturally things that are not important to me," Zhou Yan replied.
He did not manage the logistics of his territory; specialized personnel were responsible for that.
Since these items were placed in the treasure rooms, they were definitely not needed by his territory's people.
After hearing this, Zhao Qingwu also took out five items and pointed to an item in front of Zhou Yan, saying, "See if there is anything here that suits you. I want to trade for that item."
Zhou Yan examined them carefully. The items she brought out were also very precious, including weapons, equipment, cultivation techniques, skills, and even an S-quality blacksmith shop.
Zhou Yan unhesitatingly chose the S-quality blacksmith shop. Such a high-level building, after evolution, would surely lead to an even better building.
"Pleasant trade." Zhao Qingwu was very happy to have traded for something she was satisfied with.
"Lin Tan, have you decided?" Zhou Yan looked at Lin Tan, who had been looking for a long time, seemingly in a dilemma.
"I want them all, what should I do?" Lin Tan looked at Zhou Yan's items, each one greatly attracting him.
"Just say what you want," Zhou Yan asked.
"This, this, and these few," Lin Tan quickly pointed to several items.
Zhou Yan looked and saw that they were nothing major. Moreover, Lin Tan had a sense of proportion; the value of these items was not significantly different from the total value of his three items.
Zhou Yan directly replied, "Alright, give me your three items, and these are all yours."
"Zhou Yan, I really want to kiss you." Lin Tan quickly placed his three items in front of Zhou Yan.
"Get lost, I don't like men," Zhou Yan cursed.
Everyone laughed. Lin Tan was truly uninhibited, daring to say such disgusting things.
Zhou Yan gave the items to Lin Tan. The price difference between their items was not significant; it was only a matter of a million spirit coins or so. He didn't care at all.
