"ę„¼ 187: Have you ever thought, the poster might not be in the summoning profession, so he doesnāt see the value in high-level monsters? These summoned creatures might not be very useful to him, better sold to exchange for equipment."
"ę„¼ 188: I must say, your circle limits your perspective. Itās true that leader-level monsters are high-end, but within the current summoning circle, leader-level is no longer the top tier. Some top players have already acquired transcendental-level monsters. If the poster is selling leader-level monsters because he got transcendental-level ones, that would be understandable."
"ę„¼ 189: Your explanation also has a major flaw, because even if the poster isnāt a summoning player who canāt fully utilize high-level monsters, thereās no reason for him to sell such high-tier creatures for so cheap. Unless heās a philanthropist? I remember the auction prices for leader-level monsters go over one billion, with some varieties reaching up to ten billion, comparable to excellent-level equipment prices. He must know this, so I feel that the monsters heās selling either have hidden flaws or theyāre completely made up to entertain us."

As the number of replies to Wang Zhifanās trade post on the forum grew and caught the attention of the forumās official staff, he himself returned from the Deceit Realm.
He first plugged in the data cable to transfer newly recorded phone videos to his laptop, then opened the video editing software to modify the video, mainly erasing some sensitive information like the phone model and incidental non-monster footage.
After carefully editing the video and ensuring the modified content wouldnāt reveal any of his personal privacy, he reopened the player forum and began uploading the video content in that trade post, with the video title maintaining a simple style.
"[Video] All footage of the monsters is right here; all filmed together, identify the specific monsters yourselves by matching with the textual information."
Upon posting the video, within a minute, he saw his forum inbox start exploding with private message notifications, almost like it was attacked by a virus.
Yet he didnāt immediately read these messages but left them aside, first browsing other forum sections. This wasnāt purely leisure but a crucial way to gather dungeon intelligence and player information.
"Top player Lizard Tamer from India recently claimed to have successfully leveled up to Lv100 but didnāt provide solid evidence."
"Some insights into clearing paranormal dungeons; aside from Spirit Body countermeasures, good mental resilience is also key."
"A player team structure created by our countryās experts has recently been well-received by the management bureau, with potential for promotion among players."
"Chatting about Xia Countryās top players, both official and unofficial. But we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of the information; enjoy it for fun."
"War-type dungeons only favor shooter players? Not quite! Proper self-positioning and teamwork can help non-shooters out of trouble!"
"Anyone knowledgeable about the Talsha Dungeon? Our team barely conquered the 20th level but dared not tackle the 21st and chose to back out. Weāre curious about what rewards lie ahead."
"Just completed a long dungeon, initially guided by a top player, but later the boss was too strong, even the top player struggled. Then a super player suddenly killed the boss in seconds!"
"Puzzle-solving dungeons are truly frustrating; people like me, who arenāt quick-witted, fear this type. Iād rather fight a strong boss."
"Save-the-world type dungeons are commonly faced by high-level players. Sharing some clearing tips, lesser-leveled players might want to prepare mentally."
...
"So some have leveled to Lv100? Iām only Lv10. Seems like I really need to work hard, canāt stay too far behind the main force."
After briefly browsing the forumās hot topics, Wang Zhifan felt a sense of urgency. Although he knew his strength was among the stronger players, he didnāt think he was the strongest. Coupled with a major crisis he encountered in the recent dungeon, his mentality has changed considerably, not as relaxed as before.
After absorbing some dungeon information and player experiences from others, he then opened his trade post to check the "999+" private messages displaying in the background.
"Private message 1: I want the Elite Eye Demon youāre selling, cash in hand, location - National Capital North Suburb Construction Avenue..."
...
"Private message 12: I can buy all your leader-level monsters, but your prices are too high, at least give me a 30% discount."
...
"Private message 178: Brother, Iāve seen your video, itās indeed nice, I can take them all, provide a contact for the trade."
...
"Admin (official): Dear user, weāre very interested in your current trade offer and intend to purchase entirely. We sincerely hope to further discuss with you, contact number..."
...
Wang Zhifan quickly read these private messages, but due to the overwhelming number, he felt a bit overwhelmed. He used the forumās optimization function to temporarily block accounts with low credibility, specifically viewing messages from accounts with multiple large transactions, reducing the total number, though still considerable, to less than a hundred.
"Eh... even the forum officials sent me a trade message? Want to fully take my batch of monsters?"
Among all high-value replies, Wang Zhifan immediately spotted the specially marked official reply, a mark used exclusively by forum officials when sending messages, impossible to mimic by other players. Everyone knows the player forumās backend is the Xia Country official system, meaning the management bureau shows a keen interest in his trade!
"Officials never reacted this way in past sales of rare-grade items, but this time itās different; with multiple leader-level monsters involved, the overall value has reached a certain level attracting official personnel."
Upon reflection, Wang Zhifan understood heād been bold in this sale. While he personally considered the monsters cheap due to low-cost mass production at the Monster Nest, itās unlikely anyone else globally possesses such nests.
"Should I interact with the officials? Previously, I avoided much entanglement with them due to their overwhelming power, which I couldnāt bear, but now, with caution, Iām not worried about trouble... Moreover, selling to them equals bolstering the management bureau, helpful in curbing Gray Realm threats..."
With slight contemplation, Wang Zhifan realized he no longer carries that cautious mindset towards officials; heās willing to allocate the benefits to them this time.
