**[Leather Buyback]**
**[Wild Boar Hide: 1 copper]**
**[Pork: 1 copper]**
**[Wolf Pelt: 3 copper]**
**[Wolf Meat: 2 copper]**
…….
‘Tsk, these prices are a bit too low!’
Luo Taozhi was very dissatisfied as she looked at the system buyback prices.
A bottle of the most basic Life Recovery Potion in the pharmacy next door cost 20 copper! And yet, the pelt and meat from the Level 5 Little Wild Wolf she killed only sold for a combined 5 copper?
The income was almost completely disproportionate to the effort.
Luo Taozhi hadn’t lost much HP; she was clearing everything quickly with zero damage. However, ordinary players would definitely get injured. How could they survive if the drops from a Little Wild Wolf sold for so little?
It seemed her plan to make money through Gold Farming would have to be delayed for a while.
“I guess I still have to rely on Xiao Nanchu for everything…”
She sighed softly and looked up at the sky, her mind wandering.
Even though she enjoyed taking advantage of Xiao Nanchu, she remembered everything he did for her. Every cent he spent was etched into her heart. The phone, the helmet, the breakfasts, and the drinks—Luo Taozhi remembered it all clearly. Even though the guy was using her as a fake girlfriend to get money from his mother…
Technically, she deserved some credit for that, but Luo Taozhi was never someone who liked owing others.
Xiao Nanchu had helped her so much that he held a completely unique position in her heart. Since returning to this world, she had been intentionally giving him “benefits” now and then.
‘I spent hundreds of years as a woman in Another World. How could I have no defenses at all?’
Luo Taozhi shook her head.
She stopped thinking about it. She would definitely pay Xiao Nanchu back, but she didn’t have an ID card. Currently, her most likely chance to earn money was…
**[Xiao Taozhi: [Screenshot] [Quest Accepted: Village Chief’s Concern (Unique)], can take up to five people. Private message if interested.]**
**[Xiao Taozhi: [Screenshot] [Quest Accepted: Village Chief’s Concern (Unique)], can take up to five people. Private message if interested.]**
**[Feifeifei: Holy crap, a pro has appeared! Great One Taozhi, are you the one at Rank One on the board?!]**
**[Huakaifugui: It’s definitely her.]**
**[Xiaoyueyue: Of course it is. I haven’t seen any other Village Chief quests besides the Small Wild Boars at the start. The Great One must have been the first to take it.]**
**[Bibilabu: The pro is advertising it herself, so why not just ask her? @Xiao Taozhi, are you Rank One? If you are, I’m DMing you immediately.]**
The messages on the World Channel scrolled by one after another, leaving Luo Taozhi stunned.
Her name had been hidden on the rankings because she had only thought about playing the pig to eat the tiger; she had temporarily forgotten that she needed to build a reputation.
She opened the Level Leaderboard and set her name to public.
**[Level Leaderboard]**
1. **[Xiao Taozhi]** Level 4
2. **[Tiger Regiment Leader]** Level 3
3. **[Li Dong]** Level 3
…….
Then, she returned to the World Channel to continue her promotion.
**[Xiao Taozhi: That’s right, I’m number one. Just check the leaderboard to see for yourselves. Private message me if you want to join.]**
**[Yaoeryaosanyao: Is the Great One carrying people for free as a benefit?!!]**
**[Feifeifei: What are you thinking? This game has official backing. Do you even need to ask how popular it is? There’s no way you can leech off a quest that clearly gives you a lead.]**
**[Bibilabu: Exactly. Don’t even think about leeching. I’ve already sent a DM for a spot. It just depends on how much she’s charging.]**
**[Tiger Regiment Leader: It’s more than just official backing. The game’s gold coins can even be exchanged for real-world money.]**
**[Li Dong: The Regiment Leader is right. I’m from the Four Seasons Guild. Anyone who knows us knows that we can vouch for this. This game is definitely beyond your imagination!]**
**[Feifeifei: Whoa, the Four Seasons Guild! One of the top ten guilds from that previous unfinished VR game! They’re backed by the real-world Four Seasons Group!!]**
**[Woshuobaile: Come to think of it, almost all the top ten guilds from that unfinished game are large domestic corporations…]**
Luo Taozhi rubbed her hands together excitedly as she watched the chat, her eyes practically gleaming.
Such massive investment—it really lived up to its reputation as the first century-spanning VR game with official backing.
‘It looks like I can sell these spots for a pretty good price!’
*Beep beep beep beep!*
Luo Taozhi’s private messages exploded instantly. She hurried to mute the notification sound. Her fingers moved quickly as she opened her DMs. The screen was flooded with a dense wall of messages, nearly crashing the game interface.
She picked a few familiar-looking names to open. The first was from the Tiger Regiment Leader.
**[Tiger Regiment Leader: Hello. Please make sure to save a spot for me. I’ll pay 2,000 yuan.]**
Immediately after, Li Dong sent a message.
**[Li Dong: Hello, Great One. I’ll pay 3,000 yuan. Please save a spot for me. In fact, I’ll take as many spots as you have. We can negotiate the price.]**
A few other scattered messages came in, but their offers weren’t as generous as these two. The highest among the rest was only a few hundred yuan.
‘It’s just a game, yet these two are really extravagant.’
Luo Taozhi’s initial thought was only to earn a few hundred yuan. She never expected to make such a large sum so quickly! This was higher than her previous monthly salary!
With an excited expression, her fingers flew across the screen as she replied to the two wealthy guys.
**[Xiao Taozhi: Sure, sure. No problem. I’ll definitely save them for you!]**
**[Xiao Taozhi: I’ll message you once I hit Level 5. You can transfer the money to me then!]**
……
**[Tiger Regiment Leader: No problem.]**
……
**[Li Dong: Understood. How many spots can you give me?]**
‘Oh? There’s more to be made.’
**[Xiao Taozhi: We’ll see then. That is, if no one else offers more.]**
**[Li Dong: I’ll raise my price. 5,000 per spot.]**
**[Xiao Taozhi: Okay, no problem. There are… three spots left. They’re all yours.]**
**[Li Dong: OK.]**
‘How much?! 5,000 for one spot?!’
Luo Taozhi’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
She even felt a bit of regret for agreeing to the Tiger Regiment Leader so soon! But she wasn’t the type to go back on her word. Since she had already promised him a spot, she would give it to him.
Still, it was a bit of a pity. She had missed out on 3,000 yuan!
Luo Taozhi felt a bit dazed. In just this short amount of time, she had earned 17,000 yuan just by selling spots?
‘They aren’t lying to me, are they?’
It felt a bit surreal. She used to earn only a little over 4,000 a month, and that was only because of Xiao Nanchu’s care; otherwise, it would have been even more pitiful. And now, she had earned 17,000 without doing almost anything!
‘This game really is a money-maker.’
Her decision to rely on this game for income was definitely right!
‘There are just too many rich people. They don’t care about spending a bit of money on small matters like this at all!’
