Chapter 248: Real-world Trading (1/2)

”It's okay, Yu Rou. Fortunately for us, your friend allowed me to stay here for free.” Yuan said a moment later.

”Even if that's the case, their actions are inexcusable! It's like they're doing everything they can to ruin your life! How can they do that to their own children?! That's despicable!” Yu Rou sighed.

'Because I'm not really their child…' Yuan sighed, feeling a strong urge to reveal everything to Yu Rou at this moment, but he'd managed to resist such urges at the end.

”Anyways, what should we do now? That bank account is no longer safe, so I will need to put my money somewhere else.” Yuan asked her a moment later.

”I can open up a new account for you tomorrow, brother. But until you have enough money, I will pay for your expenses,” Yu Rou said.

”Are you sure?”

”Of course. How else are you going to pay for your food and other necessities? Although I'm not rich, I have more than enough to help you.” Yu Rou said.

And she continued, ”But you should really sell your in-game stuff as soon as possible, brother, as the value for gold in Cultivation Online has been decreasing lately since people are growing stronger, allowing them to grind gold at a faster rate, not to mention the number of new players joining the game everyday. It's not really bad right now since the game is still fairly new and the rich people are buying as much gold as they can to upgrade their avatars, but every dollar counts, especially when the family is no longer supporting you.”

”Hmm… How much are gold coins worth, anyway?” Yuan suddenly asked.

”Let me check real quick…”

Yu Rou proceeded to check on her phone.

”According to the most popular trading website right now, one gold is worth about 7 dollars, so it dropped a few bucks since the Wealth Leaderboards came out.”

”Seven dollars for a single gold coin? That's very profitable, no?” Yuan said in a surprised voice.

If he has one million gold coins, that's about 7 million dollars in the real world!

”If you think about it, it's not easy to earn money in Cultivation Online, and it usually takes on average three to four hours for the average player to earn a single gold coin. Of course, if you're a powerful Cultivator who can fight high-level monsters, you can make much more by selling their materials and monster cores, but not many people are at that level. Even the top players just recently entered Spirit Warrior despite spending tens of millions of real-life money for Cultivation Online gold and treasures to boost their cultivations.”

”Speaking of cultivation, what level are you at right now?” Yu Rou suddenly asked.

”Hm? Me? The peak of Spirit Warrior, about to enter Spirit Master.” Yuan casually responded.

”Peak Spirit Warrior?!?!” Yu Rou's jaw dropped after hearing his words.
