"Xiao Zaizi, I'll be honest with you, unbinding is not easy and consus a lot. If the items in a spatial item are worth less than thirty million, we basically lose money."
Chu Kuangsheng might be stingy, but he probably wouldn't lie... right?
Mingxi thought for a mont. Out of respect for him as an elder, she decided to compromise, "Then it's fifty-fifty. No lower than that."
"Deal!"
Hearing him agree so readily, Mingxi imdiately felt that she had definitely been conned again.
Scamr!
Liar!
"I'm hanging up! Goodbye!"
Mingxi refused to ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) speak to Chu Kuangsheng anymore, and it was almost nine o'clock.
No mood, no ti to keep bickering with a scamr.
Tonight, Scarlet Jade spent most of its ti crafting items again. This ti, it produced a B-grade item.
A Black Pearl-shaped hairpin item.
Aside from its basic function, this item has two main functions.
【Energy Gathering Absorption: Rapidly gathers free energy factors in the surrounding air and stores them in the item's attached space.】
【Purification Conversion: The energy gathered in the attached space will be gradually purified and converted into beneficial substances needed by Beast Tars or Transcendent creatures. The specific substance is random.】
In terms of function alone, this Energy Gathering Hairpin can't be said to be stronger than the Invisibility Cloak, but items are a matter of personal preference.
It depends on how it's used and by whom.
Mingxi looked at the adorable and exquisite hairpin, knowing that both items were custom-made by Scarlet Jade according to her needs.
So she didn't dislike them for their low grade. She very decisively contracted the hairpin and clipped it to her side bangs.
Twelve Qiluo was also tied behind her head at this ti, serving as a hair tie.
"Scarlet Jade, your improvent speed is so fast! Yesterday C-grade, today B-grade. At this rate, won't you be able to make A-grade items tomorrow?"
Moreover, both yesterday's Invisibility Cloak and today's Energy Gathering Hairpin were very beautiful in design, without any sense of shoddy workmanship.
From details to appearance, while not exaggerated to the point of being divinely crafted, they were definitely exquisite.
One must know that Scarlet Jade was still a novice who had just embarked on the path of an Item Crafter.
Scarlet Jade's progress speed, one can't say it's fast, only that it's so fast it would make all Item Crafters envious, jealous, and resentful.
"Flaming Radiance."
Scarlet Jade shook its head, indicating it wouldn't be that fast.
Whether it's crafting items or making potions, it gets harder the further along you go.
For example, Erald Green can successfully make twenty to thirty S-grade potions, but it might not be able to make even one SS-grade potion.
It's not because SS-grade potions are difficult to make, although the difficulty is indeed high.
But the real reason is that Erald Green's alchemy hasn't crossed that threshold yet.
"It's okay, just take it step by step. You're already very impressive."
"Flaming Radiance."
Scarlet Jade nodded.
...
The final stage of the group round-robin tournant and the 9-to-5 team tournant day arrived without incident.
Early in the morning.
Mingxi woke up at 4:30 AM as usual to wash up, preparing to go to the training ground she had been frequenting these past few days for her daily training.
But as soon as she stepped out the door,
She was startled by the two 'door gods' standing there.
"Coach Wang!"
"Coach Jiang!"
"What are you two doing?!"
The two 'door gods' at the entrance were none other than the two assistant coaches from the logistics team, Wang Dong and Jiang Shiyuan.
Wang Dong and Jiang Shiyuan looked alert.
Wang Dong explained, "Leader Yu told us to take turns guarding you starting today."
"..."
Goodness!
It seed Yu Xuantong and Yuan Hu also knew about her being on the Dark Web's "Desperate Bounty" list, sending assistant coaches to be her personal bodyguards.
"Isn't that unnecessary? Isn't there so-and-so?"
Jiang Shiyuan clearly knew who she was referring to.
She smiled and said, "Although that's true, it's better to be safe than sorry. Having us guard you will put everyone at ease."
She said, ruffling Mingxi's hair, "You are our treasure, and we absolutely cannot afford to lose you. To put us old folks at ease, we'll have to inconvenience you for a while."
What could Mingxi say?
She could only nod.
"Alright, then thank you, coaches, for your hard work."
Mingxi did not change her habits because of the "Desperate Bounty" list; she still trained as usual.
However, because Wang Dong and Jiang Shiyuan were a bit nervous, they not only summoned their pet beasts but also guarded Mingxi closely like left and right protectors.
They wished they could turn into her spiritual guardians.
Fearing that a cat assassin might run out from the roadside and scratch her.
Their nervousness truly left Mingxi speechless.
Helplessly, Mingxi could only hastily end her morning exercise.
Mingxi, of course, did not encounter an assassination.
Perhaps because they had scheduled her for the last match for two consecutive days, the organizing committee finally had a change of heart. Not only was Mingxi's individual match scheduled for the third match in the morning, but she also got a bye in the team match.
However, Gui Ye and Tepura's matches were scheduled for last.
One can only say.
They know how to play.
Around 9:30 AM, it was ti for Mingxi's match against Xia Ma.
Wang Dong and Jiang Shiyuan still followed her to the battle arena, never leaving her side, though they could only wait outside the arena.
To Mingxi's surprise, before the referee even announced the start, her only opponent today, Xia Ma, voluntarily conceded.
"It seems Xia Ma held back her true strength. Since she has already successfully entered the finals, she no longer needs to fight Mingxi head-on. Conceding now allows her to hide herself to the greatest extent."
Yuan Hu imdiately guessed Xia Ma's thoughts.
Not just him, many people had thought of it.
"So Xia Ma might be stronger than she showed before?"
"Highly likely."
"They're all schers."
"Who cares if she's hiding or not, she definitely can't be a match for our Team Leader anyway."
"That's for sure."
Mingxi didn't mind Xia Ma's concession.
Having observed the matches for several days, she had already noticed Xia Ma was hiding her strength, though she wasn't so divine as to perceive Xia Ma's true strength.
Next was the match between Zhao Qi's team and the strongest team from Sava Country.
Their luck wasn't necessarily bad.
Because among the top nine teams, none were weak. They would face a tough battle no matter who they t.
In this match, neither Yuan Hu nor Mingxi gave them any pointers, letting them play freely.
Regardless of winning or losing, they had already done very well.
And true tempering, true breakthroughs, also needed to be achieved by themselves.
...
"Caw!"
Zhao Qi's Wangfeng Crow was enveloped by a surge of Heavenly Ice Chill from Lulu Frost and fell onto the battle arena.
The Wangfeng Crow's body was rapidly freezing.
Watching as the Heavenly Ice Chill was about to spread to its head.
Although the Wangfeng Crow was General-level, its strength was very ordinary due to the influence of its characteristic 【Wangping Hill】.
If completely frozen by the Heavenly Ice Chill, it would imdiately lose consciousness and completely lose its combat ability.
"Yaya, use Resentnt Smoke on yourself." Zhao Qi did not lose his composure despite the Wangfeng Crow's situation.
