Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 28: Peacock Blue

When a person was reborn 10 years back into the past, what would he or she do? Studies speculated that it was to make investments in...things.

Things like property, and stock market....

Ye Ci was no exception to such behavior. Her only problem was that she did not have the funds in real life. Her greatest hobby was to hang out at the auction houses and stock up on "rubbish".

Of course, those things were "rubbish" as no one knew of their true value.

Every single piece of "rubbish" acquired by Ye Ci would be worth a fortune 10 years into the future. Sellers sold them at 1 or 2 gold coins, sometimes even a few silver coins. If they knew about the truth, they would've gone crazy.

Ye Ci had always felt that she did not behave like a woman.

She did not like shopping, did not like jewelries, and hate to shop for clothes. But in the auction house, she was a real woman.

She would fight to the end for whatever she had her eyes on to the end.

Herbs, gem shards, enchanted materials.... Nothing could escape her sharp eyes.

Ye Ci would always put her loots on sale in the auction house anonymously after her big purchase.

When she thought about it, she realized that she had been quite the wastrel.

With her loot from the dungeon everyday, she could've made at least 1,000 gold coins per day, but she had spent all the money stocking up on things.

With her inventory full of items, Ye Ci headed to the largest bank in Red Lake City.

"Give me another vault, the one with 50 slots!" Ye Ci slapped 500 gold coins in front of the bank's clerk.

"Ah, Miss Gongzi You, it's good to see you again!" The clerk said to Ye Ci with flattery written all over his face. If it was not for the uniform the clerk was wearing, Ye Ci was certain that it would even wag its tail at Ye Ci.

It was not easy to trigger such behavior by the bank clerk. There were some conditions to be met. One's prestige in Red Lake City must reach "Friendly", and more importantly, one must be rich and have spent a lot of money on the Red Lake City bank.

In Ye Ci's case, the vault she had bought in the bank exceeded the value of 5000 gold coins. She was a major customer, which was why the bank staff treated her so well.

Ye Ci dumped all the items into the storage and, before she had the time to sort them out, a private message rang in her ears, "Little Ci, are you there?"

It was Yi Cang.

There was a hint of odd cautiousness in his voice.

"I'm here, anything?"

"Are you free right now?"

"Sure." replied Ye Ci without pausing her task at hand.

"Can you come to the guild encampment?"

To the guild encampment? Ye Ci had not been there for a long time. She had even forgotten that she was a member of the guild.

"Is there anything you need help with?"

"Sister Blue wants you back here. She said that there's something she needs to discuss with you." Yi Cang's voice was soft, as if he was intentionally suppressing it.

"Sister Blue?" Ye Ci could not remember the name.

"She's... The.... Uh... The Guild Admin... Sister Blue." Yi Cang's voice became even more softer to the point where Ye Ci was having a hard time listening to him.
