Trading broadcasts were unlike system announcements. System announcements could be seen by all players. Trading broadcasts could only be seen by players who were in Dawnlight City at the time of the transmission. Once you left the City, you would not be able to see them anymore. Moreover, these broadcasts were not cheap!

However, for Jiang Fei, an advertisement of this level was enough! The three-time system broadcast immediately sent waves throughout Dawnlight City!

“The f*ck! Pet eggs? And ten of them at once?”

“What’s that Dantian Pill for?”

“As expected from the top player Verdure Glider. He even sells pet eggs in bulk!”

“Verdure Glider, give me one pet egg pleaseee. I’ll hatch you a monkey!”

“Can you not act cute especially when you have a face like that? I think you can actually give birth to a live monkey, right?”

“B*stard! I’ll kill you!”

“Ah Fei, why are you selling the pet eggs to the public? The people in our guild need them too!” Rosette Rose sent him a voice message almost immediately.

“Damn! Ah Fei! You don’t even think of me, your brother, when you have good stuff with you!” Han Tianyu’s message was next.

“They’re all garbage pet eggs. The best one is only of Green quality. If the both of you want one, I’ll have spares!” Jiang Fei smiled slightly. The Ant Queen regularly laid ten eggs per day. Although they were mostly White eggs, the sheer volume made up for it!

“Green…” Surely enough, Han Tianyu immediately became uninterested when he heard that the best eggs were only of Green quality. The pets that players hatched from pet eggs could not be replaced easily, unlike the pets of Hunters and Magicians. Even if the pet exhausted its lifespan or died in a battle, players had to complete a tedious Quest for a second opportunity to hatch another pet egg!

Therefore, stronger players would think twice before hatching any pet egg. Jiang Fei was planning to sell these garbage pet eggs to the small tycoons among the pub players. These players had money, but they were weak. They had a meager chance of getting a pet egg themselves, so they could only buy average low-quality pet eggs at a high price. Although it was not really worth it, it was enough for them to flaunt to their relative lessers.

Of course, if Jiang Fei could provide thousands of these junk pet eggs, the major guilds would spare no expense to purchase these eggs and powerup their core members. However, Jiang Fei only had ten for sale at that moment. Even if the major guilds gave one or two pet eggs to their elite group members, it would not really make a difference. So, these pet eggs did not seem as attractive to them at the moment.

However, the Dantian Pills were in a ballpark of their own. Although these Dantian Pills did not work on Isabella, even the growth of an Epic pet could be improved when these Dantian Pills were consumed. These Dantian Pills were way more valuable than those pet eggs!

Therefore, Jiang Fei planned to fix the price of the White pet eggs at 200 gold coins each, and the Green pet eggs at 500 gold coins. As for the Dantian Pills, the fixed price would at least be 1000 gold coins each. It was a fixed auction, but if the bids were too low, Jiang Fei would ask Big Brother Bear to raise the price or even stop selling the items altogether!

Jiang Fei had not held an auction on his own. Instead, he did not hesitate to pay a fee and use the system Auction House. He intended to keep the bids and price raises private. Players could not see the name of the buyers in the system Auction House. The item was stored in the system’s warehouse. The items would automatically appear in the backpack of the player who placed the highest bids. Even if the seller started fixing and artificially raise the prices, nobody else would be aware of it!

Moreover, as Jiang Fei had become a Nephilim, he had joined the Dark Faction. Now, he could no longer trade with players from the Light Faction. Therefore, he could reach more buyers if he sold his items through the system Auction House.

Although Rosette Rose still felt that it was inappropriate to put the pet eggs and Dantian Pills up for auction, Jiang Fei still decided to do it anyways. He was short of money, and these two items did not mean much to him, so he went ahead with his plan.

“Ding! Someone has offered 50 gold coins for the Worker Ant Egg that you have listed!”

“Ding! Someone has offered 120 gold coins for the Soldier Ant Egg that you have listed!”

“Ding! Someone has offered 150 gold coins for the Soldier Ant Egg that you have listed!”

As Jiang Fei was the seller, he would receive a notification whenever someone placed a bid. After Jiang Fei listed the pet eggs and Dantian Pills, the prices of the pet eggs kept increasing, but nobody was interested in the Dantian Pills!

“Hoho, it seems like there are quite a lot of tycoons among the pub players!” Jiang Fei smiled slightly.

In actuality, it was not just the pub players who were interested in the Ant Eggs. Some clan members, as well as top players of small guilds, were also bidding. After all, a battle pet could significantly improve the combat efficiency of these people. Regardless of whether players were farming for money or doing Quests, pets were beneficial!

The fact that the Ant Eggs were selling well had been within Jiang Fei’s expectations. However, Jiang Fei had been mistaken about the sales of the Dantian Pills. After all, the players had just reached Level 30. Their chances of getting high-end pets were meager. Buying one of Jiang Fei’s pet eggs was enough to deplete an average player’s savings. Thus, they naturally had no more money to buy Dantian Pills.

Moreover, those wealthy players looked down on the White or Green quality pet eggs. So, they did not need the Dantian Pills, and they naturally did not bid. As a result, nobody cared about the more valuable Dantian Pills!

After just three hours, Jiang Fei’s Ant Eggs started yielding in ridiculously high bids.

“Ding! Someone has offered 250 gold coins for the Worker Ant Egg that you have listed!”

“Ding! Someone has offered 670 gold coins for the Soldier Ant Egg that you have listed!”

“Ding! Someone has offered 150 gold coins for the Dantian Pill that you have listed!”

*Sigh* “You guys have terrible taste!”

Jiang Fei sighed. Then, he looked for Zhao Feng and Rosette Rose and borrowed 5,000 gold coins from each of them. He gave the money to Big Brother Bear and ordered him to have someone pull the price of the Dantian Pills up!

This way, if no one raised the prices, Jiang Fei would lose the money that he spent on paying the system Auction House’s processing fees, but at least it was better than having someone else sweep these Dantian Pills at a bargain price!

Although the Dantian Pills’ lackluster sales came as a disappointment, the auctioned Ant Eggs were selling far better than what Jiang Fei had imagined. When the game was about to shut down for the day and players were about to be forcefully logged out, the bid on the White Ant Eggs that Jiang Fei had auctioned were already at 300 gold coins each. The Excellent quality Solider Ant Eggs had reached bid values of an astonishing 850 gold coins!

“Hoho, these Ant Eggs are way more popular than I thought! After two days, I’ll put up another ten for sale.”

Jiang Fei grinned to himself. He did not know that this decision of his was going to suck away all the average players’ hard-earned money, the money that they had originally planned to spend on Mounts!
