"..."

Hearing what the red-haired beauty said, was rendered speechless.

If he could, he really would have liked to say that he hadn't transmigrated — he had been reborn.

"Are there really players coming from other kingdoms as well?" asked, somewhat puzzled. "How is that even possible? The teleportation fees between kingdoms are astronomical. There's no way Elite players could afford that unless they sold off most of their gear — but then what would be the point of coming to White Mist Canyon?"

The last time had helped Shuishui Qiangwei and over a hundred others relocate to , it had cost nearly three hundred gold coins. Even split evenly, that came to more than two gold per person.

Granted, the where Shuishui Qiangwei was based was quite far away, but even from the to , each person would need around one gold and forty silver. Only those truly powerful expert players could barely afford that — and their wallets would be completely emptied. Elite players could maybe scrape together twenty or thirty silver at most, since lodging, food, potions, repairs, and other expenses consumed a great deal. Nobody had much in savings.

Yet looking at the crowd of players before him, quite a few had traveled across national borders to reach White Mist Canyon. They were out of their minds.

"You didn't even know the reason, and you still came to White Mist Canyon?" The red-haired beauty's eyes went wide as she stared at as though he were an idiot.

"Could they have discovered the secret of ?" 's heart tightened. But then he shook his head. "No — even if they had discovered the secret, in my previous life no players came to White Mist Canyon from other kingdoms."

was indeed very precious, but obtaining it from White Mist Canyon was no easy task. The risk-to-reward ratio simply didn't add up. In his previous life, nobody had done this, and the current players' levels were far lower than they had been back then. With even greater risk, it was even less likely anyone would come.

Moreover, wasn't worth much in other people's hands. A single piece was worth only one silver. It took a hundred pieces to make one gold, and with players' current levels and ranks, collecting a hundred pieces of would be far harder than clearing a twenty-man hard-mode team dungeon.

The reason had said was profitable was that he had the Horizon Alliance — a life-skill guild — under his command, along with a large number of skilled Blacksmiths who could use to craft all manner of high-level equipment and earn a fortune.

"Shuyun, let's stop wasting time with this guy," said the lean male Elementalist, clearly displeased. "If we keep standing around, someone else will have already killed off all the Red-Eyed War Monkeys, and how are we supposed to make money then? Don't forget we borrowed a ton of money to get here. If we can't pay it back, all our gear becomes someone else's."

"Is that really true?" The red-haired beauty studied 's questioning gaze and felt he didn't seem to be lying.

When she had first spotted , she had assumed he was with a team. But after observing for a while, she realized he was alone. For a single person to make it this deep into White Mist Canyon — even a level 22 Assassin would struggle to manage that, let alone a Swordsman. She was genuinely impressed by his strength.

If her team gained one more powerful player, they could venture even deeper into White Mist Canyon. There would be fewer competitors for kills, and their chances of making money would increase.

"I really don't know," said honestly. "I haven't logged in for over a day. Did something happen during that time?"

"I see. But you're really something — over a day offline and you're still level 22," the red-haired beauty said with a smile. "Well, I'll tell you. Just one day ago, the monsters in White Mist Canyon started dropping an incredible item, so we all rushed over. If we can get our hands on it, we'll make a fortune."

"An item dropped by monsters that can make you a fortune?" 's mind raced, and then he smiled. "You're not talking about the Warfire Set, are you?"

"That's right — the Warfire Set!" The red-haired beauty nodded, then shot a glare. "So you already knew!"

"I thought maybe you had some other money-making method," said apologetically. "But the drop rate for the Warfire Set is absurdly low. Even if a single piece dropped, it wouldn't cover your travel expenses."

The Warfire Set was a special equipment set unique to White Mist Canyon. Any player could wear it — if a magic-class player equipped it, the stats would adapt to a caster's profile; if a physical DPS class wore it, the stats would suit physical output; if a tank wore it, the stats would fit a tank's role. It was an extraordinarily unique set.

Furthermore, the Warfire Set was an evolution-type equipment. Its initial drop quality was Bronze Rank, but by investing enough experience points, it could be upgraded all the way to Gold-grade.

The set's level range spanned from level 20 to level 30, and like an epic-grade item, its stats would grow as the player leveled up.

A level 30 Gold-grade set — for any major guild's main raid team, that was ultra-premium gear. It was extremely rare even in dungeons, and dungeons had cooldown timers, making it incredibly difficult to acquire a full set. That was precisely why the Warfire Set had become the most coveted prize for every major guild.

A Gold-grade set obtainable through nothing more than manpower, time, and experience — it was arguably the easiest Gold-grade set to get.

"What do you know?" the lean male Elementalist said dismissively. "Someone already offered five gold for a single piece. If you can collect the full seven-piece set, that person is willing to pay eighty gold — and that price was from ten hours ago. Right now it's gone even higher."

"Eighty gold?" chuckled.

If the Warfire Set could drop, forget eighty gold — even a hundred and eighty gold, he would buy it in a heartbeat.

The Gold-grade Shield of Solitary Light that had previously sold had fetched over thirty gold, and that was a single item. A level 30 Gold-grade full set was worth far more.

In his previous life, there had been players who tried to make money off the Warfire Set, but the drop rate was simply too low. Only large guild raid teams willing to invest enormous amounts of time could barely manage to farm a few complete sets.

"Look at you getting excited — you'll need us to actually farm a set first," the red-haired beauty said with a laugh.

"How about this: if any one of you manages to get a piece to drop, you can sell it to me. I'll offer ten gold per piece," proposed. He figured the red-haired beauty's team was quite capable, and if they worked hard for a few days, they might actually get one or two pieces to drop. Buying them directly would suit him just fine — Gold-grade sets were mainly useful for dungeon clears, and for a free player like himself, their practical value was more limited. "If you manage to get the full seven-piece set, I'll pay a hundred and eighty gold."

The moment dropped that number, the red-haired beauty's six-person team was completely stunned.

A hundred gold in one breath — they knew that even if you had money, that many gold coins were nearly impossible to come by at once. Even those wealthy whale players couldn't produce that much in a single transaction. And yet here was someone standing right in front of them.

Right now, there was only one thought running through all their minds.

They had just run into a god-tier whale!
