Pei Xin City Railway Station, Gu Xi followed the address on the letter and arrived at the location of Gate Six.

Looking at the waiting hall with hardly anyone around, Gu Xi felt that this wasn’t like the train stations he usually went to.

There wasn’t even an electric door here; the door was manually push-opened.

Gu Xi pushed open the hall’s door somewhat speechless, took a few steps in, and saw several Level 10 players chatting there.

These players were evidently skilled at both strategy and combat, lone wolf-type players capable of dominating the entire game by themselves.

You could tell this from their attire and their backpacks.

They gathered together, boasting loudly, laughing quite heartily.

Curious, Gu Xi also walked over.

Even though he didn’t make much noise, these people were top solo players in the game; if they weren’t vigilant, they’d be long gone.

When Gu Xi was still four or five meters away, they all looked up towards his direction.

Leading them was a woman with partly gray hair.

As she raised her head, you could see her face was full of scars.

There was even one scar that still had blood on it.

Obviously, she was living through the negative effects of wearing purple armor.

When she saw Gu Xi, the woman gestured him over.

”Hey, young brother, how old are you?”

”Twenty-five.”

Gu Xi responded, walked into the crowd, and casually asked, ”Are you all from the 9:32 train?”

”Yes, it’s rare to be together, come sit.”

While speaking, the players gathered around made room.

Gu Xi, unreserved, found a spot and sat down.

After exchanging identities, Gu Xi confirmed his earlier observations.

All the players present were free players heading to participate in Creation.

The leading woman was the strongest, Level 14, just a step shy of Level 15.

Gu Xi couldn’t tell her profession for now, but he could see one thing: the woman, Su Jie, had at least six pieces of Purple Equipment on, resisting the negative effects through her physical strength and life force.

Even Gu Xi had to acknowledge her tenacity.

Six pieces of Purple Equipment meant eighteen different negative effects.

Though, from the current situation, none of the effects were instantly fatal. But having so many piled up, a normal person couldn’t endure it.

Yet Su Jie acted like there were no negative effects, chatting and laughing as usual.

The other players deeply admired Su Jie’s abilities.

Therefore, when Su Jie suggested using this chance to trade among themselves since it was fate to gather here, most solo players agreed.

They had already completed half of the trades; Gu Xi arrived right when trading was timely.

Seated, Gu Xi also started examining these players.

Players daring to join Creation solo must have real skills.

The quality of their items wasn’t bad either.

They typically wouldn’t present Blue Quality items unless they had unique effects.

Only Purple Equipment or objects of similar quality would catch the players’ attention.

Gu Xi noticed a tall, thin player took out a pure silver horn-shaped Long Spear.

The moment the Long Spear emerged, Gu Xi knew it was Purple Quality.

”Can you describe it?”

Gu Xi’s Flame Light Six Paths Lamp was only short of its final set of suppressed equipment.

Spear and Long Spear types were Gu Xi’s preference.

The player’s Long Spear caught Gu Xi’s attention.

But in this trade, it couldn’t be like the game where you could just look at the Attributes of the equipment.

Gu Xi asked the player to describe the equipment’s Attributes to judge whether to want it.

As for negative effects, Gu Xi didn’t mind; he intended to place it inside the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp where the effects wouldn’t harm him.

”I got this when I killed a Silver Dragon, it’s called the Silver Horn Gun.

The Silver Horn Gun has three rather decent effects...”

The player spoke about the Silver Horn Gun’s Attributes to Gu Xi.

Though not overly detailed, Gu Xi roughly understood the Purple Equipment’s situation.

But the player wasn’t clear on the negative effects, which surprised Gu Xi. He glanced around, seeing the other players weren’t concerned, adding to his confusion.

Fortunately, Su Jie noticed Gu Xi’s doubt and explained.

”It’s a rule we just established, only discuss straightforward attribute effects, not negative effects.

This is to avoid negative effects harming others.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi understood. Purple Equipment’s normal effects were mainly power and skill, knowing this just meant being aware of a particular move, dodging during encounter.

At most, there’d be targeted preparation against certain attacks.

But negative effects could sometimes create weaknesses.

Small weaknesses could be fatal if ignored.

Thus, detailing negative effects might expose vulnerabilities to enemies.

The players here were all lone wolf types, understanding more weaknesses translated to increased risk; discussing only effects and not negative effects was indeed the best approach.

Gu Xi paused before asking, ”What do you want in exchange?”

”Same level Longsword-type Purple Equipment, gambling on negative effects, or something of value.”

The player with the Silver Horn Gun stated.

Longsword-type Purple Equipment?

Gu Xi shook his head; he had some but they either became Equipment Carrier or distributed to his Death Incarnation subordinates.

Transitioning now wasn’t possible.

However, Gu Xi did have some good stuff.

He thought a bit, then asked the player, ”No Purple Longsword, but I have this, would it work?”

While speaking, Gu Xi took out a ochre-colored fruit.

The fruit was thumb-sized, resembling a small baby.

As soon as Gu Xi produced the fruit, a player called out.

”Grass Returning Pill, how do you have Grass Returning Pill, what are its attributes?”
