I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 15 --A Legendary-Grade Companion — Earthmount Dragon

Chapter 15: Chapter15-A Legendary-Grade Companion — Earthmount Dragon

In the very next second, Daniel was already standing at the entrance to the village chief’s wooden hut in Starter Village.

The old village chief had been sipping tea inside, but the moment he saw someone appear out of thin air, he was so startled that he dropped his teacup.

"Y-you are... Hero, sir?!"

Daniel nodded. "Village Chief, I want to go to the main city."

The old chief focused his gaze and, upon seeing the name Faustus, hurriedly rose to his feet.

After all, Daniel’s Contribution Points were now astonishingly high, and with that Merit Medal on him, he was more than enough of a big shot in the eyes of the NPCs.

"So it is Sir Faustus, the brave warrior! I never expected you to reach Level 50 so quickly. It is indeed time for you to head to the main city."

"I shall prepare a letter of recommendation for you at once!"

With trembling hands, he took a sealed letter out of the cabinet.

[Obtained: Village Chief’s Letter of Recommendation (Required to travel to the main city)]

"Thank you."

Daniel took the letter.

The old chief beamed, then suddenly said, "Allow me to personally activate the teleportation array and send you to the main city..."

Daniel thought for a moment, then nodded. "Then I’ll trouble you."

At this moment, more than a thousand people had already gathered in the village square, most of them players who had just come out of the instance.

They had originally been chatting excitedly and boasting to one another, but the instant they spotted Daniel, the entire place erupted.

"Faustus! Look, that’s Faustus!"

"Holy shit, a Level 50 archer — there’s no way this isn’t hacks, right?!"

"大神, look over here, I’m cute and delicate—"

Under the respectful escort of the village chief, Daniel passed through the crowd expressionlessly and headed toward the teleportation array.

A few people tried to rush forward, only to be stopped by a squad of NPC guards that suddenly appeared.

Leaning on his cane, the old village chief stood before the guard squad and shouted loudly,

"Please make way, everyone! Sir Faustus is the first brave warrior from our Starter Village to head to the main city. Show proper respect!"

With the guard squad forcefully keeping order, the players could only watch helplessly as Daniel walked up to the teleportation array.

Daniel glanced back once. In the eyes of those players were admiration, envy, jealousy... and fanatical fervor.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

Then he stepped into the teleportation array.

A flash of white light later, he vanished before everyone’s eyes.

[World Channel]

"He’s gone... He’s seriously so handsome..."

"The village chief and guard squad personally cleared the path for him. I want to act that cool too."

"Yeah, did you notice the village chief’s attitude? WTF, could he be the chief’s illegitimate son or something?"

"Today’s funniest topic: a player is an NPC’s biological son..."

"When will I ever get to the main city..."

"Stop dreaming. He’s Level 50. What level are you?"

"I’m Level 8..."

"Then shut up!"

Before the players could even calm down, another round of system notifications rang out.

[System Announcement!!!]

[Congratulations to player Faustus for becoming the first player to enter the main city — Luminara!]

[Reward: Contribution Points +500, companion egg (blackgold-grade) ×1!]

[As the first player to unlock the main city, your name will be engraved upon Luminara’s gate monument!]

On the streets of Luminara, Daniel had just stepped out of the teleportation array when he heard the system notification.

The surrounding NPC guards all saluted him in unison.

He swept his gaze across the grand yet familiar city before him.

Broad streets, spires soaring into the clouds, merchants and NPCs moving to and fro—

Compared to the desolate Starter Village, this was the true great world!

He first opened his inventory to inspect the companion egg.

Even in his previous lives, no matter how quickly he leveled up, he could never surpass the elite players of the major guilds. As for this companion egg, he had only ever heard rumors of it.

It wasn’t that his foresight had failed him.

It was simply because those major guilds had always trained their people without scruples.

A group of guild members would wear monsters down to low HP, then hand them over to a core member for the finishing blow!

The moment one boss was finished, they would immediately form the next team...

Under those circumstances, even if Daniel had clones of himself, there was no way he could level faster than them!

[Unhatched Companion Egg (blackgold-grade)]

Type: Random-type pet

Description: Must be hatched before its pet type is revealed.

As Daniel was studying it, the World Channel exploded yet again.

[Global Timeline Channel]

"The main city?! Someone entered the main city?!"

"Faustus again?! Does this guy ever stop?!"

"A companion egg? A blackgold-grade one?! I don’t even have a pet yet!"

"大神, are you selling it? I’ll offer 1,000 gold coins!"

"1,000 gold coins and you want a blackgold-grade pet? I’ll offer 5,000!"

"Stop making jokes. I’ll offer 100,000 gold coins!"

"..."

Looking at the 99+ private messages flooding in all at once, all of them asking to buy the companion egg, Daniel was about to ignore them all when one message suddenly caught his attention.

[Crimson Soul (Private Message)]: Sir Faustus, hello!

I am the guild leader of Violet Guild. May I ask whether your companion egg is for sale?

I can offer 10,000 gold coins. If that isn’t enough, we can still negotiate.

Daniel raised an eyebrow.

Violet Guild?

Memories from his previous lives surfaced in his mind.

The Violet Consortium Family—one of the top real-world capital powers. Yet in the early stages of this game, they had always kept a low profile.

Their guild leader, Crimson Soul, had likewise seemed ordinary at the start, but later became one of the ten top powerhouses in the game.

And right now, Violet Guild was still just a little-known small guild.

The Violet Consortium was a very traditional industrial financial family. They placed only moderate importance on virtual industries.

So at the moment the servers had just opened, they had not taken this game particularly seriously.

As a result, Violet Guild had remained obscure for quite a while...

Meanwhile, private messages from other guilds were also flooding in like mad.

[Rhine Watcher]: Sir Faustus, we may have neglected you before, but Rhine Guild is willing to pay 1,000,000 gold coins for your companion egg!

[Eternal Hawk]: Eternal Hawk Guild, under the Morgan Consortium, bids 2,000,000 gold coins. We hope you’ll consider it.

[Ragnarok]: 800,000! We can also trade in real life. In reality, we can offer 2 million dollars...

Daniel laughed the moment he saw these messages.

A million gold coins—at the current exchange rate, that was equivalent to two million dollars!

But to a consortium like Morgan, that was little more than pocket change.

Among all those messages, one in particular amused him so much it nearly made him laugh out loud.

[Stormbound Guild]: If you know what’s good for you, you’d better obediently hand over that companion egg. Stormbound Guild may then consider granting you a basic membership slot!

Reading that message, Daniel let out a snort of laughter.

These people’s style of doing things was as absurd as ever.

Ignoring all the chaotic messages, Daniel replied only to Crimson Soul.

"Deal."

Crimson Soul, who was still in Starter Village killing wild boars, froze the moment she saw the notification.

She checked it again and again, just to make sure she hadn’t misread it.

But when she looked at the other party’s basic info and saw that Level 50 displayed there, she was completely stunned. She had never expected him to actually reply to her!

Tentatively, she sent back a message.

"Sir... did you send that to the wrong person?"

"No. I meant you."

After receiving Daniel’s reply, Crimson Soul’s eyes widened instantly.

Still confused, she nonetheless mobilized her resources as quickly as possible and gathered 10,000 gold coins at once.

Then she immediately initiated the trade, afraid Daniel might change his mind!

[Ding! Player Crimson Soul has sent you a trade request!]

Daniel raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that she had gathered the money so quickly.

But when he saw Crimson Soul’s level at this point in time, he almost burst out laughing.

One of humanity’s future top ten powerhouses was currently only Level 5!

Crimson Soul sent another message.

"Sir Faustus, thank you for being willing to sell it!"

[Trade Request: Crimson Soul pays 10,000 gold coins in exchange for Unhatched Companion Egg (blackgold-grade)]

Daniel tapped accept.

Trade completed.

[Ding! Detected sold item: Unhatched Companion Egg (blackgold-grade), sold for 10,000 gold coins. Millionfold Boost triggered!]

[Obtained gold coins: 10,000,000,000!]

[Sold item is of the companion egg category. Quality Boost triggered!]

[Congratulations! You obtained: Ancient Dragon Egg (legendary-grade)]

Thump!

Thump, thump!

Daniel’s heart pounded wildly.

A legendary-grade companion egg?!

He opened his inventory. A gigantic egg radiating a dark golden glow lay quietly inside one of the slots, its shell covered in rocky textures, with an unmistakable draconic aura faintly seeping out.

[Ancient Dragon Egg (legendary-grade)]

Species: Earthmount Dragon (Ancient Dragon)

Description: A descendant of the ancient dragon race, possessing the power to control earth and stone. After hatching, it will bind to your soul and never betray you.

Without hesitation, Daniel bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the egg.

The blood was instantly absorbed, and cracks began to spread across the shell.

Crack!

Craack—!

The fissures grew larger and larger.

Then, a stony claw emerged from inside the egg, followed by the entire head.

It was a somewhat majestic dragon’s head, its entire body seemingly formed of rock, with two brilliant yellow crystals for eyes.
