Chapter 11: The Trading Market, Selling Equipment!

After receiving the task, Lin Han did not hurry into the dungeon. Instead, he first went to the trading market.

Yesterday, he had harvested a large batch of equipment in the trial field, piling up in his hands. Before venturing into the dungeon, he decided to handle these items.

Upon entering the trading market, a magnificent building immediately caught his eye. The entire structure soared into the clouds. From afar, the tower resembled a six-petaled flower, exquisitely beautiful, and above the grand entrance, four gilded characters gleamed: Trading Market.

Compared to the simple austerity of the Job Transfer Hall, the trading market exuded an aura of luxury.

Inside, Lin Han found countless stalls with crowds bustling to and fro, the scene vibrant and lively. The operators of this market were said to be among the world's most powerful guilds, far beyond the likes of small local groups such as the Three Serpents. It was precisely because these guilds were so influential and reputable that they could establish trading markets everywhere without being troubled.

Anyone with a bit of sense would never provoke such a giant.

It was rumored that even official personnel showed respect to these truly dominant guilds.

Lin Han found a stall and sat down, drawing the curtain of the room. These trading markets respected their clients' privacy, providing private rooms for transactions; otherwise, if a client possessed rare treasures, they might quickly attract unwanted attention. This, too, was why people preferred to trade at markets run by major guilds.

“Good day, sir. I am Customer Service Representative 0458. It’s a pleasure to assist you.” The staff was extremely polite, their work requiring them to treat every visitor as a guest, regardless of status. Of course, should trouble arise, they were not shy about taking action.

“Hello, I’d like to sell some equipment,” Lin Han said simply.

The staff’s eyes sparkled; he favored clients selling equipment, as each piece brought a considerable commission. His recent performance had been lacking, so he pinned his hopes on such customers.

With a wave of Lin Han’s hand, the table was instantly piled high with equipment, like a miniature mountain.

“All of these… are for sale?” The staff was stunned. He had never seen so much equipment in his life. He had thought the young man before him was just a student, unlikely to have much, but reality had slapped him hard.

“That’s right, all of these are for sale. Please take inventory, and there are also two legendary items," Lin Han instructed.

“Alright… Wait, did you say there are two legendary items?” The staff was momentarily speechless. While most equipment on the table was of modest grade, the sheer quantity was astonishing, and now this client claimed to possess two legendary items! He had never even seen what legendary equipment looked like.

Calmly, Lin Han produced a long blade and armor.

“These two. Is there a problem?” he asked.

The staff swallowed hard, gazing at the equipment in Lin Han’s hands. The aura emanating from them already made him excited. These were unmistakably legendary items.

“May I ask your surname, sir?”

“Lin,” Lin Han replied.

The staff hurriedly stood up. “Mr. Lin, I have no experience handling legendary equipment—none of the representatives here do! Please wait a moment while I contact our manager. From now on, the manager will handle your transaction personally.”

Lin Han agreed, urging him to hurry.

“Please wait, Mr. Lin.” The representative exited through the back, nearly running; such a massive client was exhilarating. Even if the manager took over, the commission from this transaction alone would sustain him for years.

Lin Han waited, bored, for two minutes before a man in a suit entered.

“Mr. Lin, I presume?” Lin Han nodded, and the man extended his hand.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am the manager of the Huiyue City branch, surname Liu. I am a level forty-six appraiser. From here on, I will personally oversee your transactions.”

Level forty-six appraiser?

Lin Han was surprised. He hadn’t expected the Huiyue City branch manager to be a level forty-six appraiser. He had heard of this profession, a support class favored in treasure hunts, so some teams liked to include one. But the career path was complicated; most appraisers remained at first or second advancement, with difficulty rivaling Lin Han’s own life priest path.

After all, few were willing to invest resources in cultivating an appraiser.

“Hello, Manager Liu,” Lin Han greeted politely.

Manager Liu glanced over the equipment on the table and smiled. “Mr. Lin, you are truly extraordinary, able to present so many items at once. With a quick assessment, I estimate these could net you twenty-three million.”

That much!?

Lin Han had researched the market; most of these were below gold grade, and though plentiful, twenty million was his ideal price. He could guess the manager’s intent—he didn’t want to lose such a major client.

“Deal,” Lin Han replied.

Manager Liu smiled. “You are decisive, Mr. Lin. Now that this transaction is settled, may we examine the two legendary items?”

“Certainly,” Lin Han said, aware of the shrewd manager’s purpose and not inclined to waste words. He placed the two items on the table.

“Hm?” Manager Liu was surprised. He had assumed the legendary item was the one Lin Han wore, but now Lin Han had produced two more. Suddenly, the manager realized his client was no ordinary person; perhaps a valuable long-term customer.

Lin Han smiled. “Manager Liu, these two are both suitable for warriors. They’re of no use to me, so I intend to sell them.”

Both items had been enhanced by Lin Han’s ten-thousandfold amplification, carefully selected for the warrior class. He could have amplified all his equipment, but that would risk exposure, so he chose only two.

Warrior gear commanded the highest prices, maximizing his profits. This was part of Lin Han’s prudence: his strength was not yet formidable, and he needed to conceal his identity.

“Please allow me a moment, Mr. Lin, so I can examine these carefully and avoid any errors,” Manager Liu said.

He could tell at a glance these were indeed legendary items, but the specific effects and attributes required closer inspection.
