All people saw was Lin Mo constantly running back and forth between the potion shop and the auction house. Constantly buying at 10% of the price, selling at 50%.
Even though Lin Mo was running so much he was about to take off, wishing he could evolve into the Fierce Tiger King and use four legs to sprint, it was still not enough to meet demand.
The main problem was the limit of 40 backpack slots and 10 auction slots.
So Lin Mo could only bring in 38 batches of goods at a time.
And every time he could only put ten batches up for sale.
Lin Mo couldn't help saying, "If I remember right, there's a hidden opportunity in the level 3 main city that can expand backpack and auction slots. Once I get to the level 3 main city, I have to grab it no matter what."
Fortunately, the potion shop and auction house were close to each other, right across the street.
Otherwise, with how much Lin Mo was shuttling back and forth, he'd waste a lot of time just on the road.
So like this, he ran back and forth for a full half hour, at least dozens of trips.
In his ears, the system's voice finally rang out again
[Ding～Please note: Magic Scroll Limited-time Discount Coupon has expired. You will no longer enjoy a 10% price when buying potions at the potion shop!]
The moment the system's voice sounded, ignoring the strange looks from other people, Lin Mo collapsed right onto the street, completely exhausted.
But the moment he saw the money on his panel, all that fatigue vanished in an instant
[Money: 13 gold 12 silver 25 copper]
Yes, that's right. From the initial 1 gold coin of starting capital to now, it had increased by a full 12 gold coins.
In just half an hour, Lin Mo had made at least over eighty trips.
This profit was worth it.
And with this amount of gold, for Lin Mo, getting a full set of gold gear shouldn't be a problem.
So after a short rest, Lin Mo immediately got up and ran toward the south side of the town.
Relying on his memory, Lin Mo found Yunbian Town's Card Master, Karl.
Karl was wearing a magician's outfit, playing with a deck of cards in his hand, occasionally performing for passing players.
And shouting, "Want to try a card draw? I've got every piece of equipment you need. As long as you have enough silver coins and enough luck."
Quite a few passing players were drawn in.
But in the end, they all stopped at the level 5 requirement for drawing and the extremely expensive cost of 5 silver coins per pull.
Only Lin Mo treated him like treasure.
"Coming, baby?"
"Yeah."
"How many pulls?"
"Let's start with one, test the waters."
As he spoke, Lin Mo took out 5 silver coins from his bag and handed them to Karl.
"No problem, baby!", Card Master Karl took the silver coins, gave an evil little smile, and said to Lin Mo, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
With that, Karl shuffled the cards in a flashy, magical way.
With a wave of his hands, dozens of cards rose into the air in front of Lin Mo.
Lin Mo casually picked one from them.
[Ding～Congratulations, you have drawn Level 5 Tier 1 · White Equipment · Magic Boots!]
Seeing this, some of the nearby players watching the show couldn't help bursting into laughter, "Spending 5 silver coins to draw a white item? What a total sucker!"
"The officials using trash gear to recycle players' silver coins couldn't be more obvious. Only idiots would fall for this, right?"
Lin Mo didn't pay attention to the others' mocking.
Because for other players, if they drew cards, they could only pray for high-quality gear to be useful. Once they drew low-quality trash gear, it was a waste.
But for Lin Mo, who had the server's only SSS-rank talent Soul Fire, even if everything he drew was the trashiest white gear, it still had huge incineration value.
And Lin Mo had already tested it with Soul Fire.
'A Level 5 white item gives 5 evolution points when incinerated.'
'If I spend five hundred yuan to buy five pieces of newbie gear, incinerating them would only give 5 evolution points.'
'In other words, drawing white gear doesn't lose me anything. And as long as I draw green or blue quality gear, I'm guaranteed to profit.'
So behavior that looked brain-dead in other people's eyes was something Lin Mo enjoyed.
He directly threw out 5 gold coins, "One hundred pulls!"
Instantly, everyone around him was dumbfounded.
At this point, they no longer laughed at Lin Mo for wasting so much on drawing trash gear.
They were shocked that someone could actually take out 5 gold coins in the early stage of the game.
"Divine Oracle has only been open for two hours. How the hell did he get that much gold?"
"Holy shit! 5 gold coins. At the official 1:1 exchange rate for cash-out, that's fifty thousand yuan."
"I thought he was just a sucker, but he's actually a top-tier whale. Alright, I was shallow."
The crowd's reaction shifted from ridicule to admiration.
Lin Mo, under everyone's gaze, drew one hundred times in a row.
[Ding～Congratulations, you have drawn Level 5 Tier 1 · White Equipment · Magic Bow!]
[Ding～Congratulations, you have drawn Level 5 Tier 1 · White Equipment · Magic Robe!]
[Ding～Congratulations, you have drawn Level 5 Tier 1 · Green Equipment · Magic Ring!]
[Ding…]
All the equipment players could draw from Card Master Karl was Level 5 Tier 1 "Magic" gear, with quality randomly ranging from white to purple.
Lin Mo drew 100 pieces and found that 87 were white gear, 9 were green, and 3 were blue.
And there was also one purple.
To avoid taking up space, Lin Mo used Soul Fire and incinerated all 87 white items, gaining 435 equipment evolution points.
Lin Mo had already figured out the pattern of equipment evolution.
He discovered that the evolution points required each time a piece of gear upgraded in quality were double the previous step.
'If it takes 5 evolution points to evolve a Tier 1 Level 5 white item into green, then blue will take 10, purple 20. When you add it all up, fully evolving a Level 5 gold item costs 315 evolution points.'
In other words, the 435 evolution points he'd just gotten from burning gear were only enough to evolve one piece of gold gear for Lin Mo.
"Not enough."
"Another hundred pulls!", Lin Mo took out another 5 gold coins and handed them to Card Master Karl.
This scene already made the surrounding onlookers' jaws drop to the floor.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another round of 100 pulls. This time Lin Mo flipped over 89 white items, 7 green, and 4 blue.
No purple.
Same as before, he incinerated all 89 white items and gained 445 equipment evolution points.
With the remaining money of 3 gold 7 silver 25 copper.
He kept just the leftover 7 silver coins as backup.
Then Lin Mo used the remaining 3 gold coins to draw 60 more times.
He still incinerated all the white gear and kept the green and blue.
Looking at the total of 1,150 equipment evolution points in his stats, Lin Mo nodded.
'Enough to evolve three pieces of Level 5 gold gear.'
'That's enough.'
So, Lin Mo happily said goodbye to Card Master Karl.
Leaving behind a crowd of players who had personally witnessed him drawing 261 times and spending dozens of gold coins, all petrified on the spot.
A chubby guy who had to be at least 90 kilos stared, dumbfounded, "Damn! That dude's family must own a mine, right? He's stupid rich!"
A bespectacled bookworm pushed up his glasses, "I saw he drew quite a few green and blue items. Looks like the captain is ready for takeoff."
A twin-tailed little shorty covered her mouth with both hands, "Mmph! I forgot to add big brother as a friend just now. Anyone here know him? Can someone add him for me as a friend?"
