Seeing this, a dozen or so healers of various charms nearby heaved a sigh of relief. They almost simultaneously approached the stall, but upon realizing they shared the sa target, their cheeks flushed and they halted.
"Damn, this is an endless cycle."
Su Xiao rarely cursed, but he saw the situation around him. Aside from one-on-one interactions, these shy healers were unlikely to step forward.
Su Xiao grabbed the "Lady White" from the stall and walked towards a petite healer in a beige dress.
Seeing Su Xiao approach with determination, holding sothing in his hand, the healer instinctively took two steps back.
"Well... I’m just passing by."
"Na your price and skip the nonsense."
"T-twenty thousand Paradise coins."
Su Xiao turned and walked toward another healer a dozen ters away, who had a softer deanor and looked about twelve or thirteen.
The little healer looked up at Su Xiao, her face inexplicably blushing.
"How much are you offering?"
"2222..."
"22 thousand?"
"No, 21 thousand~"
After speaking, the little healer lowered her head to stare at her toes.
Su Xiao turned his head to look at the third healer present, who was evidently smarter, showing a gesture of 22 thousand.
Su Xiao’s asking price was 280,000 Paradise coins, with an expected price between 240,000 to 250,000 Paradise coins.
After a series of ’auctions,’ Lady White was finally bought by a tall healer for 260,000. The healer’s expression was troubled because, after buying Lady White, she would have to spend a lot of money to change its shape without altering its original attributes. She couldn’t imagine using that thing to heal her leader—the thought was just...
In total, he acquired 360,000 Paradise coins, and with the coins Su Xiao previously obtained, his assets reached: 421,600 Paradise coins.
With this fortune in hand, Su Xiao began wandering the trading market. His Sword Technique Master Level 39 couldn’t be enhanced without a Soul Crystal (Large). As for purchasing a Soul Crystal (Large), it was out of the question.
Not to ntion Soul Crystal (Large), even Soul Crystal (Small) was rarely seen in the trading market. When it appeared, as long as the price wasn’t outrageously high, it would imdiately be bought.
As for enhancing the Release of Breath Ability, Su Xiao had no such plans at the mont. Regular enhancents had poor effects, and unconventional thods were too dangerous. That blood-red hand had left a lasting impression on him.
Though 420,000 Paradise coins seed like a lot, Su Xiao had already earmarked 130,000 of them: 50,000 for making No.1 Elixir and 80,000 for making Sun God·Apollo.
In the absence of materials, Apollo’s cost was 500 Mana Value Soul Crystal (Small)×1 80,000 Paradise coins, with the coins substituting for materials.
After reserving 130,000 Paradise coins, Su Xiao had 290,000 left to use, a portion of which was for replenishing regular supplies such as Special level Alchemy Bombs, various weapon maintenance and repair, and various types of potions.
Three hours later, Su Xiao had only 185,300 Paradise coins left, having made a major purchase in the trading market. The items he bought were as follows:
[Small Underwater Oxygen Equipnt×4 (Blue Quality), each set usable for 128 hours.]
[Antidote Potion×2 (Purple Quality), can eliminate toxin effects below Level 30.]
[Curse Detection Dust×4 (Purple Quality), can detect curse traps below Level 30.]
[T-35Mo Protective Suit×2 (Blue Quality, Disposable Item), can resist nuclear radiation, virulent biochemical gases, etc.]
[Complete Set of Knife Maintenance Supplies (Green~Blue Quality).]
...
After the major procurent, Su Xiao stopped at a stall where a short sword was displayed. The short sword was about 50 centiters long with a rather broad blade.
This short sword was called "Forest Tree", of Light Golden Quality, with two accompanying skills: Intelligence 5 and a 9% chance to spawn a tree upon attack.
Undoubtedly, this was a very lousy short sword. ant for close combat but increased Intelligence Attribute, and worse, it summoned trees. Calling forth a tree during a fight? What use is that?
This weapon’s attributes suited its original owner well, but for others, it was a waste. It was one of those things you couldn’t enjoy, yet couldn’t bear to discard.
Su Xiao picked up the short sword from the stall and the stall owner’s eyes lit up.
"You’re interested in this short sword? It has very special abilities, a weapon with recovery ability."
The stall owner cleared his throat.
"Though its original properties didn’t include recovery ability, you could look for a devour tree-based life recovery ability. With quick slashes, the 9% chance isn’t low. Just imagine recovering a chunk of Life Value while fighting—how exhilarating! Moreover, this stall is currently having a grand opening sale. This Light Golden weapon, not 298,800, not 198,800, just 98,800..."
Su Xiao quickly raised his hand to interrupt the stall owner.
"Ahem~ Sorry, occupational habit."
The stall owner looked a bit embarrassed, and after a mont of hesitation, Su Xiao made an offer.
"30,000."
"..."
The two locked eyes, and the stall owner quickly snatched the short sword back.
"50,000."
Su Xiao made a second offer.
"This..."
The stall owner was conflicted, having dragged this lousy item with him through 16 Derivative Worlds, from Third Tier to Fourth Tier, like a Band-aid.
"Lowest is 80,000."
The stall owner also decided to go for broke, offering the short sword of Light Gold weapon for only 80,000. However, he knew in his heart this short sword’s low attack power and unpleasant attributes ant selling it for 80,000 was already quite good.
Light Gold Quality didn’t guarantee a high price. If this short sword were in the hands of a suitable person, it might even surpass the power of typical Light Gold weapons. However, such individuals were sparse, and when evaluating equipnt, a crucial aspect is whether anyone needs it.
Su Xiao spent 80,000 Paradise coins to buy the Light Gold short sword "Forest Tree", intending to increase the Blade Value of Dragon Slash.
After the Supre Blade increased by a level, the acceptable weapons for sacrifice broadened. Swords, daggers, and short knives were all acceptable, significantly reducing the cost of enhancing Dragon Slash’s quality.
Take "Forest Tree" for instance. Despite its Light Gold quality, it was ignored, selling for a super low price of 80,000 Paradise coins. Weapons like this, which were a pity to discard yet difficult to retain, occasionally appeared in the trading market. Others didn’t need such weapons, but Su Xiao did.
Su Xiao wouldn’t have Dragon Slash ’devour’ "Forest Tree" right away; he realized long ago that devouring multiple weapons at the sa ti increased the Blade Value more than devouring individually, multiple tis.
After wandering the trading market for a long ti, Su Xiao didn’t find another weapon with poor attributes that could boost Dragon Slash’s Blade Value.
With 105,300 Paradise coins remaining, after much thought, Su Xiao headed to the Trial Field.
[Welco Hunter to use the Trial Field, please choose mode.]
[Auxiliary Mode/Actual Combat Mode]
Su Xiao chose Auxiliary Mode.
[Auxiliary Mode selected, please select summoned Mirror Image Level.]
"High-level."
[High-level Mirage costs 10,000 Paradise coins per hour, please select summoning mode (Random/Designated Target).]
"Summon... Joracel Mihawk."
Su Xiao planned to spend the remaining Paradise coins on summoning a mirror image, and summoning Hawkeye·Joracel Mihawk had many benefits. Not only could he consult him on sword techniques, but also ask about so knowledge on ditation.
