The Death List Novel - Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Message
After hearing Didi’s big plan to make money, Qin Lun immediately understood. The little fellow was using the auction to earn the difference in price. He didn’t say much about the 2000 broken crystals he gave Didi. He could buy some low-level recovery-type food.
These restorative foods were not exchanged for by the apostles from the exchange list of the shattered starry sky. The restorative items that the apostles exchanged for, even if they had surpluses, would not be sold. They would always use them anyway. The restoration items in the auction house are native products of various intelligent races, such as the World Tree Dew of the Elves, the Blood Pool Water of the Abyss Devils, and so on.
These were the main products of the various intelligent races exchanging for apostolic currency in the apostolic cities, but the prices of such items always fluctuated in the auction houses, and Didi used the difference in prices over time to earn a small difference.
The apostles were unable to do this “business” because they needed to spend a great deal of time in the auction house, collecting information on the flow of people, the price of items, and the quantity of specialty products in the auction house.
Most importantly, the prices of these specialty products fluctuate very little, and the quantities are not very large. Didi could earn 1000 with 2000 broken crystals, but even if he gave it 20,000 broken crystals, he would probably only earn 2000. The profit was not proportional to the capital.
However, for this little fellow, Didi, there was nothing he could do in the Corner of the Devil other than take care of Qin Lun’s daily necessities. To be able to find a way to make money in just twenty days and earn the living expenses of the two of them could be said to be stronger than many people.
“Little fellow, I think your future achievements will definitely be higher than your grandfather’s!” Qin Lun smiled and touched Didi’s head. “It’s a pity that you’re not an apostle. Doing these small things is a waste of your intelligence. Otherwise, I would definitely bring you into an incomparably wonderful adventure world.”
“Master, my grandfather said that intelligent races in the Broken Stars can also become apostles!” Didi slyly blinked his big eyes and whispered, “He once saw a high-ranking apostle turn his dragon servant into an apostle!”
“Oh!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
He had also considered this question before, whether the native races of the Shattered Universe could become apostles. However, judging from the information he had come into contact with so far, even if there was such a transformation, the number should still be extremely small. Either the Apostle Master, who was his servant, had to pay a great price, or the Law Item, which he cherished dearly.
“Little fellow, I will continue to give you monthly living expenses, and the broken crystals you earn will be at your disposal. You can use them to send to the people of the Red Gobi, buy the food you like, and go to the Casino in the Corner of the Devil … Remember, it’s anything!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said kindly.
Didi’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion. His master had told him a lot about the places of consumption in the Corner of the Devil, but he didn’t mention the training grounds. Although his master didn’t give him any promises, the little fellow knew that his master wanted him to go to the training ground to learn magic or martial skills.
Goblin clenched his claws tightly, and he suddenly understood. He had inadvertently obtained the acknowledgement of this master. His fate was at a fork in the road, but was he really capable of adventuring in another world …
Qin Lun looked into Didi’s confused eyes and smiled. He poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it slowly. He then casually turned on the projector’s message. There were several messages on the projector, two of which were greetings from Sly Berylseth and Elf Malfoy.
Qin Lun casually replied to Berylseth. He had the Sly Demon’s investment on him, so he had to let it know that he was still alive. As for the Elf Martial Arts, Qin Lun thought for a moment and sent out a request for an invitation to meet.
After the Moonlit Fairy survived the last election crisis, Malfoy stayed in the Corner of the Devil as a high-ranking Elves administrator. In fact, Malfoy did not have the qualifications to stay at the Horn of the Devil, but his good performance in the electoral crisis earned him the job.
There were several other apostles’ messages on the projector, two of whom were Lin Feng and Xiaolian. In fact, this message was about a gathering of prisoners. At that time, more than a dozen prisoners who had entered the shattered starry sky had initiated a gathering and invited them to attend.
Qin Lun pondered for a moment before replying to the two of them with a message indicating that he would attend the party. No matter how dangerous these people were, they were all from the Earth Federation, so it wasn’t a bad thing to exchange adventures with each other. Moreover, he also wanted to see how far the other murderers had grown.
Apart from the messages from these acquaintances, the rest were unfamiliar numbers. Most of them were about the price of the dark gold helmet at the auction house, and a few were about the success of the auction.
Two petrified Demon Eyes earned 2,000 broken crystals. The Illusory Demon Wind Record sold 3,000 broken crystals. The Complete Monster Book of the Low Demon World and the Moore Research Specimen Illustration only earned 1,000 broken crystals. After deducting some fees, Qin Lun still had 25,000 broken crystals.
Qin Lun left a message at one o’clock. He basically didn’t reply to a simple inquiry or a bid below 70,000 broken crystals. These apostles only wanted to buy cheap goods, and they didn’t need the dark gold helmet much. It was a waste of time to bargain with them.
There were only two types of Dark Gold equipment. One was a mission reward, and the other was a leader-level kill reward. The Dark Gold equipment rewarded by the mission was a combination of the Laws of the Shattered Universe. Normally, this type of equipment would be Dark Gold equipment with a high degree of suitability. However, things that were stable in all directions would naturally be difficult to produce top-grade equipment.
The rewards for killing at the leader level were different, especially the rewards for killing at the BOSS level. To a large extent, they would leave behind the special abilities of the BOSS on the main production equipment. It was very easy to create a top-grade dark gold.
The dark gold helmet Qin Lun had taken out for auction hadn’t been appraised yet, but the top of the helmet had a sharp cone, so it was obvious that he had a collision skill. The collision skill usually had the effect of paralyzing or stunning. At least from the looks of it, it could be top-grade equipment. Moreover, the helmet was a metal armor. Under normal circumstances, it could only restrict the attributes of strength, so it was highly applicable.
It was precisely because Qin Lun understood these two points that he marked the Dark Gold Helmet at a high price of 150,000 yuan. After carefully examining the information, one of the messages caught Qin Lun’s attention. The apostle who left this message was obviously very interested in this dark gold helmet. 80,000 broken crystals was also the highest bid, and there were also several projections of top-grade dark gold equipment, indicating that they could be exchanged for items.
The short message made Qin Lun feel that this apostle was rich and powerful. He was obviously a high-ranking apostle. Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders and immediately clicked on the contact number. Since this person had displayed the quality of being slaughtered, what else could he consider?
“Are you a doctor?” Not long after, an apostle with a cloud covering his face appeared in the projection. The cloud on the apostle’s face was a wind elemental mask. It was similar to the demon mask on Qin Lun’s face. It should have been given to him by the management race of the Demon Horn, the Wind Elemental Clan.
“Are you Mr. Osiris who left the message?” Qin Lun smiled and asked, “Of all the bids, you are the highest. However, can you answer my question?”
“Sure, you can ask!” Osiris asked faintly as the clouds on his face moved.
“The Dark Gold equipment projections you left behind are basically top-grade. They are worth at least a hundred thousand broken crystals. Even if my Dark Gold helmet identifies top-grade attributes, I’m afraid it might not be comparable to yours.” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and slowly asked, “But you only offered 80,000 for the broken crystal. Can you tell me why?”
“Haha, I don’t have much virtual currency. 80,000 broken crystals is already the limit. This bid is only incidental. Besides, since you want to sell dark gold equipment, you probably want to exchange it for dark gold equipment that suits you. The price of broken crystals isn’t important, is it?” Osiris replied indifferently.
“Not bad!” Qin Lun frowned slightly. Osiris’ words were flawless, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if he had neglected something.
Originally, he wanted to auction off dark gold helmets in exchange for large amounts of broken crystals or suitable low-quality equipment. However, the dark gold equipment Osiris had displayed was of the highest quality, causing him to be extremely excited. One of the dark gold rings and one of the dark gold swords were even of the highest quality.
The Dark Gold Ring possessed a Holy Light healing skill that could convert stored solar energy into Healing Holy Light at regular intervals. Not only was it extremely valuable, it was also extremely applicable. After all, most mission worlds did not lack sunlight.
The Dark Gold Sword was even more amazing. Not only did it seal three Sword Qi skills, it was also made from Holy Ice Crystals, which had the effect of freezing enemies. Sword Qi was a martial skill, and its suitability was much higher than magic skills. Its value was at least 200,000 broken crystals.
Even if the Dark Gold Helmet was of the highest quality, the difference in value between the two items was huge. It was hard to believe that Osiris would trade these two items for his Dark Gold Helmet.
“Alright, are you satisfied with the things I’ve given you? Can you talk about the details?” Osiris did not mind Qin Lun’s hesitation and asked patiently.
“Yes, I want to exchange for that dark gold ring!” Qin Lun hesitated for a moment before clicking on the dark gold ring that had Holy Light Healing. He knew very well that he did not choose the dark gold sword.
“No problem. Your Dark Gold Helmet is considered a good item for MT. It has at least one collision control skill. I’ll give you an estimate of 100,000 broken crystals. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Osiris said indifferently.
On the other side of the projection, Qin Lun nodded. Although the dark gold helmet was priced at 150,000 yuan, he knew that 100,000 broken crystals was the limit. To have this value, the Dark Gold Helmet had to identify a defensive skill in addition to the collision skill. Osiris’ valuation was fair and impeccable.
“The Holy Light Healing of the Dark Gold Ring, apart from being unable to revive a broken limb, has a certain effect on all other injuries. It can save you a lot of recovery items. The estimated value is 150,000 broken crystals. Do you have any objections?” Osiris continued, “Barter. All you have to do is give me 50,000 broken crystals. If you don’t have enough broken crystals, you can use your equipment to fill the gap!”
Qin Lun’s mind flashed with lightning. “Hmm? I’ll make up 50,000 broken crystals for you …”
So that’s how it is. So this is your goal! The corner of Qin Lun’s mouth curled into a grin. He finally understood what he felt was wrong!
