Chapter 338 Rich Players Didn’t Win This Time

Many players were whining about the card collection guidance task.

The unlucky players were exasperated upon seeing that other players and NPCs managed to find the rare cards. They wanted to quit the game.

However, when those players had a stroke of luck and discovered a rare card, their faces instantly brightened up.

If one frankly spoke, this card collection guidance task was targeted at the rich players.

Some players liked to use the internet banking function in ‘Gods’.

Others liked to conduct transactions with gold coins.

For example, they traded with some NPCs that possess rare cards!

Many players from the Grand Deity team could sense William’s hostility towards them, just because they were rich players.

What did being a rich player mean?

Manuals and equipment that others didn’t have access to? A rich player could own those in advance.

The aim of rich players was to be the one with the best equipment and weapons on the streets.

The rich players in a game world were most valuable when their ‘keep up with the Joneses’ mentality was magnified.

As the team captain of the Grand Deity team, Lucky Dream scoffed at the lady who had offered 20,000 RMB in the forum for buying William’s card.

He immediately bought ten magic megaphone scrolls, which cost 500 gold coins each. They served as megaphones in the regional chat.

He started yelling in the City of Dawn chat. “I’m offering 50 gold coins for a normal card, 1000 gold coins for an Epic NPC card, 3000 to 10000 gold coins for a Legendary NPC card. I’ll offer 100,000 RMB for William’s card.

“I’m Lucky Dream, and I’m at the central plaza now. Anyone who wants to sell their cards can come and find me.

“The Grand Deity team will accept all the cards you sell.”

Everyone cursed when they saw the message.

“You can do anything you want when you’re rich.”

“The Grand Deity team is awesome. They must own a gold mine to want to buy all our cards!”

“They probably own seven or eight gold mines…”

“Well, are you going to sell your cards?”

“If we don’t sell our cards, we can only exchange them for experience points. But if we want experience points, we can complete missions. Since we can exchange our cards for money, why give up such an obvious benefit?”

Evidently, that was the thought-process of most of the players.

The ordinary players knew that they couldn’t collect all 100 cards. They had faced a lot of trouble collecting even 50 cards. So, they thought they would be better off selling their cards to Lucky Dream.

After all, Lucky Dream was a filthy rich player and a man of his word.

He was the one with the best equipment in the City of Dawn for both Version 1.0 and 2.0. It would be a good decision to sell him their cards.

However, as the ‘Gods’ game had grown more popular, how could this worldwide game only have one rich player team?

Although it was true that all the members of the Grand Deity team were rich players, China was a big country, and there were too many rich people.

After Lucky Dream made his statement, the megaphone rang again. “Hi everyone! We are from Mars. We are new players who have just joined in Version 3.0.

“I, Martian Power, like what Lucky Dream has offered, will also start buying cards from you guys. I’ll pay on the delivery of the cards. I’m willing to buy gold coins at a higher price too. Anyone who has gold coins to sell can find me to strike a deal.”

“Damn…”

“Are Martians using the Internet now?”

“Ahem! There has not been much publicity about ‘Gods’. It is really astonishing how Martians can find this game.”

“By the way, what games do Martians usually play?” Someone suddenly asked.

“They are a bunch of boors, so they normally engage in real-life-combat.”

“Wait! You mean they actually fight in real life? Not like in the video game Mortal Kombat?”

“Yes. They don’t fancy playing online games. They prefer engaging in real-life-combat.”

“Tsk tsk! Do virtual games not satisfy them? They’re going to make life harder for us…”

Subsequently, more rich players appeared in the City of Dawn.

For example, players from the Moon. They had formed a small guild and had also started shouting in the regional chat.

However, regardless of which planet they were from, the rich players chose to make rational purchases. They bought the cards at market price. None of them seemed to be competing for cards and offering higher prices.

But this wasn’t a situation that someone wanted to see.

As a result, several weird messages appeared in the chat.

“I’ll pay double of whatever the players from Earth, Mars, and the Moon are offering for your cards!”

This sort of megaphone message appeared in the chat many times and attracted many players’ attention.

However, the senders of those messages didn’t include the location to find them!

Many players held on to their rare cards for now, hoping for the rich players to bid a higher price in the chat again.

However, the chat was silent now.

Nonetheless, the megaphone messages had immediately changed the peaceful situation, where no one was bidding higher prices.

The entire card market had been plunged into chaos.

This also made the lives of Lucky Dream and other rich players more miserable.

Lucky Dream could only curse in his heart as he pretended to be generous by purchasing the cards at a slightly higher price.

After all, he was the Grand Deity representative. He couldn’t bring disgrace to his team.

No matter which b*stard was trying to raise the market price, the Grand Deity team wouldn’t act like a coward.

Not to mention, the players from Moon and Mars were here too. As a member of the Grand Deity team representing Earth, Lucky Dream was determined not to disgrace the Earth players.

Now, it wasn’t a matter of collecting cards anymore.

This concerned the reputation and glory of the Grand Deity team and also the Earth players.

Clearly, most of the cards had already been found. In fact, there were many repeated Legendary NPC cards.

However, the last card, the one with William’s portrait on it, was yet to be found.

At this point in time, everyone knew that only one person could assemble all 100 cards.

What did this mean?

Was this a fight for the Legendary equipment and broken manual page rewards?

No! This was a battle to determine who was the most awesome rich player in the City of Dawn.

Where was that card?

Frankly speaking, it wasn’t in William’s hands.

He himself didn’t know where his subordinates had hidden that card.

He had only wanted to evoke the players’ enthusiasm through this guidance task. His main aim wasn’t to play tricks on them.

As for the weird megaphone messages in the chat just now…

Hmm!

William kept his magic megaphone scrolls back into his space ring. Who would have known that someone was more impatient than him?

Where was the William card?

Every player was concerned about its whereabouts.

The lucky player that found it would definitely strike it rich!

Even Prince William was secretly observing the situation. He wanted to see which player possessed the card. If that person kept hoarding the card and didn’t want to sell it, that would also be a problem. In that case, he could only steal the card from that player and put it at another place for the players to find.

“Sigh! I am wasting way too much effort on a card collection activity.” William returned to the city lord’s palace and started watching the players discuss from the second level.

In just half a day, all of the cards, except for William’s, had been found by hundreds of thousands of players, who had quickly acted.

No matter where the NPCs had hidden the cards, even if it was in the corner of a toilet and had pee stains on it, the players happily picked it up.

They didn’t mind that the card was dirty at all and rubbed it on their shirts.

After all, it was still a shiny card worth a lot of gold coins.

Many NPCs were baffled upon looking at this crazy bunch of players, who combed the streets with their eyes staring at the ground.

They didn’t dare to get close to the players. They thought that this bunch of ‘chosen ones’ had been jinxed with a contagious curse.

As time passed, many rich players had already collected 99 cards. They only lacked the William card.

Suddenly, a shrill laugh could be heard.

“Hahahaha! The William card is mine!”

Numerous players glanced in the direction the voice came from.

Who was he?

A player’s eyes widened. “Damn, isn’t that ‘What Can You Do Against Me’? The idiot who tried all the close-combat occupations…”

“F*ck, isn’t this the rich player from Version 1.0? How did he get this lucky to find William’s card?” Another player gasped in surprise. He started wailing over why he wasn’t the one to find it.

Once the William card appeared, a large bunch of rich players crowded around What Can You Do Against Me.

The filthy rich players such as Lucky Dream, Martian Power, and Moon Is Bigger Than Earth also appeared.

“Brother, we seemed to have fought together before. We are fellow Earthlings, right? I’ll pay 100,000 for the William card.” Lucky Dream immediately approached What Can You Do Against Me.

He could tell that the William card was authentic with just one glance!

Martian Power was wearing the beginner costume, but his aura wasn’t inferior to that of an Intermediate professional. He took long strides to What Can You Do Against Me. “Wait, I’ll pay 110,000. Sell me the card, and we can be friends.”

“Tsk tsk! These are the richest players from Earth and Mars?” ‘Moon Is Bigger Than Earth’ was a new player belonging to Moon. “I can pay 150,000.” He grinned.

“160,000!”

“170,000!”

“200,000!”

Within a short period of time, the three rich players had raised the price to 200,000.

To assemble the other 99 cards, they had also spent a great deal of money.

Looking at how everyone was raising the price, Lucky Dream gently coughed and pulled the other two players over. “We don’t need to fight so aggressively over a game. We should know our limits. My bottom line is 1 million.”

“That’s unfortunate for you then. My bottom line is 1.1 million!” Martian Power shrugged.

Lucky Dream and Martian Power exchanged a glance and looked at the player from the Moon.

Moon Is Bigger Than Earth raised his eyebrows. “Sorry to disappoint, but my family is a Helium-3 supplier on the Moon. I have no bottom line.”

“…” Lucky Dream and Martian Power were speechless.

F*ck.

Their competitor was so filthy rich.

However, nobody had expected What Can You Do Against Me to ignore the three of them.

When he saw Xiao Ayin from the Glory Club pass by, he immediately ran towards her. He gave her all the 90+ cards that he had collected, including the William card.

Numerous players were bewildered.

Xiao Ayin, Chu Liuqiu, Changli Jiuge, and the others were flabbergasted too. They hadn’t been actively assembling the cards.

Xiao Ayin, who usually portrayed a fierce image, was at a loss. She didn’t know what to do now.

What Can You Do Against Me scratched his head in a shy manner. “I like how you look when you are engaged in battle and when you hold a trophy. I’m giving these cards to you.

“I hope that the Advanced Legendary equipment and the broken manual page rewards will serve some help to you. I believe you can lead the Glory Club to become the champion again.”

“???” Chu Liuqiu’s face darkened. He was the leader of the Glory Club, not Xiao Ayin!

Xiao Ayin swallowed.

“Oh, I haven’t managed to collect all the 100 cards, but the remaining cards aren’t too rare. I think you can assemble them.”

“Oh, my God!”

“What the f**k?”

“What’s going on?”

“Damn!… Xiao Ayin, don’t accede to any weird requests he makes, just because he’s giving you the cards!”

“What Can You Do Against Me doesn’t seem like the type of person who will do this…”
