The Death List Novel - Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Dark Pit
Normal dark gold equipment was usually worth 50,000 to 70,000 broken crystals. It was similar to the hexagonal prism shield that Qin Lun had obtained before. In fact, apart from the slightly inferior skill suitability (requiring the mission world to possess low magic), it was already considered top quality. Only then would he be able to exchange one for two and allow others to build two proficiency scrolls.
The Dark Gold Helmet only had the value of a hexagonal prism shield after identifying a defensive attribute in addition to its obvious collision skill. Although his stats weren’t as good as the hexagonal prism shield, the skill that was expensive in the dark gold helmet was very likely a martial skill, so it had a higher applicability.
The Dark Gold Ring and Dark Gold Sword that Osiris took out were obviously top-grade, and their value exceeded that of the Dark Gold Helmet. Qin Lun felt that something was amiss. If this high-grade apostle could even trade for such a top-grade item, would he really lack a defensive dark gold helmet? Moreover, this dark gold helmet was still unidentified!
At the beginning of the conversation, Qin Lun only felt that something was wrong. After all, the transaction was conducted through an auction house, so it was very difficult for the other party to deceive him. Moreover, it was unlikely that such a high-level apostle who could take out a pile of dark gold would specifically deceive him with a dark gold helmet.
However, when Osiris said that he would use equipment items to fill the gap of 50,000 broken crystals, Qin Lun naturally counted the extra items he could use to fill the gap in his mind. Then, he thought of another item he had left in the auction house-the exemption token!
The market value of the exempt medal was hard to estimate. The person who needed it was equivalent to a gold medal. The person who didn’t need it was just a chicken rib. The other party must have seen the immunity token first, and then conducted a targeted search on him in the auction house.
They had already searched for the auction of the dark gold helmet, and they had probably also seen information on items such as the Complete Monster Book of the Low Demon World and the Moulder Research Specimen Atlas. Osiris could easily guess that he was a beginner apostle from the sale of the latter few basic albums, and from the dark gold helmet auction, he could easily conclude that Qin Lun lacked liquidity.
This made it clear that Osiris knew that Qin Lun would not be able to fill the gap of 50,000 broken crystals, but he deliberately left behind a few pieces of top-grade equipment worth more than the Dark Gold Helmet in the information he had given him. The purpose was to bypass the bid for the immunity token and allow Qin Lun to subconsciously use it as an additional token to complete the exchange of dark gold helmets for dark gold rings.
What a smart guy! Qin Lun smiled. If Osiris wanted to trick him, he wouldn’t. The pattern of high-level apostles shouldn’t be so small. He was probably afraid that Osiris would speak out loudly.
Osiris’ plan on the immunity token made Qin Lun feel that he was determined to obtain it. The immunity token was only applicable to low-grade apostles. Osiris should not be using it himself. He might have bought it for his companions.
“I don’t have 50,000 broken crystals. However, this piece of equipment can almost withstand it!” Qin Lun smiled warmly and showed the FN-500 to the projection.
Although he had guessed Osiris’ intentions, Qin Lun did not intend to reveal them. On the one hand, he really wanted to sell the dark gold helmet. After he said it was broken, he might not want the dark gold helmet anymore. On the other hand, if Osiris was really a high-level apostle, then there was a possibility that there would be a high-level apostle team standing behind him, and blackmailing such a person with an immunity token would not be beneficial.
Osiris said that he wanted to exempt himself from the service. Qin Lun would offer a high price, but it wouldn’t be too ridiculous. In order to sell tens of thousands of broken crystals and leave behind a bunch of powerful enemies, how stupid would he be?
However, Osiris now threw away the exemption card and circled around to make a cold dish out of the main dish, giving Qin Lun some room to maneuver. He could try to get Osiris to do it willingly.
Qin Lun didn’t really want to sell the FN-500. He wanted to disrupt Osiris’s initial impression of him. Didn’t you think that I was a beginner apostle and didn’t have much property on me, forcing me to use the Immunity Token as an addition? Then I don’t need an exemption token to make a deal!
Osiris was stunned when he saw Qin Lun take out the FN-500.
No matter how bad the FN-500 was, it was still a dark gold piece of equipment. This way, the equipment Qin Lunming took out on his face would be two pieces of dark gold. The same immunity token was already a large part of his property. However, Osiris didn’t know. He only knew that Qin Lun had casually taken out another piece of dark gold to add on his head.
This proved that his previous deduction was wrong. It was very likely that Qin Lun was not a beginner apostle. Even if his strength was inferior to his, he should still be a high-level apostle. Each high-level apostle had a team behind him, which made many of Osiris’ backup plans null and void, at the very least, the threat of force.
“This thing … is useless, not worth 50,000 broken crystals!” Osiris said with a frown.
Qin Lun almost laughed when he saw Osiris hesitating and acting constipated.
“How about I add this ring to exchange for that dark golden sword? Anyway, without the FN-500, I need a sword-type weapon!”
Qin Lun took out the Sabak Ring and showed it to Osiris, seemingly distressed. Although the Sabak ring was red in quality, it was no less valuable than the FN-500 because of its dark gold attributes. Dark Gold Helmet, FN-500, and Gaza Buck Ring are indeed qualified to exchange for Dark Gold Swords.
Three for one, including weapons, armor, and accessories. Although they were of the same value, their role in battle was clearly to equip three pieces of equipment in a more comprehensive manner. Osiris believed that Qin Lun would have other dark gold equipment on him if he dared to change it like this.
In view of this, Osiris reversed his previous judgement of Qin Lun and began to believe that he was a high-ranking apostle.
“This … Actually, all I need is a dark gold helmet!” Osiris said weakly.
“Then … if you add another 10,000 broken crystals, then 90,000 broken crystals will be sold for your helmet!” Qin Lun gritted his teeth as if I was at a disadvantage.
Clouds surged on Osiris’s face, and he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he resented the companion who had advised him.
Not to mention whether this dark gold helmet could identify top-grade attributes, even if it was really top-grade, he would spend 90,000 broken crystals to buy an unusable plate-armor helmet dry ball. It would be better if Qin Lun directly killed it on the immunity token.
“This … I really don’t have that many broken crystals!” Osiris said cautiously, “I think you still have an exhibition of immunity tokens at the auction house. Can you use that thing as a bonus?”
You finally said it! Qin Lun grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
“I don’t want to change the equipment. I want some skill scrolls that I can use!”
Qin Lun was telling the truth. Ever since he raised his title to the last rank of the first rank, the Laws of the Shattered Universe had reminded him to enrich his skill system as soon as possible so that he could start his combat profession.
In fact, the difficulty of the mission was largely due to the reference title system. The four levels of the first rank title were prepared for rookie apostles. At this level, as long as an apostle performed a simple alien mission, they would be like a rookie egg that was still training in a barracks.
Starting from the first level of the second level, the apostles would be defaulted as regular troops by the Shattered Star System, and they would begin to perform more difficult foreign missions step by step.
Generally speaking, first-grade apostles needed to slowly get used to adventures in other worlds, familiarize themselves with the use of low-quality equipment, and take equipment skills as the core, gradually forming their own fighting style in adventures.
Then, from the second level onwards, the apostles would realize the limitations of equipment skills from a large number of adventure missions. The core of the battle would shift from equipment skills to magical martial skills, and they would embark on a career path with their own abilities as the core and various equipment skills as the auxiliary.
As for the third grade apostles, they were already at an advanced stage. The high-level apostles’ magical and martial skills began to be systematized. All sorts of abilities and bloodlines were combined. The core equipment was the Life Slaughter Legacy and various dark gold equipment, and the phasing out of low-quality equipment. Osiris, who had traded with Qin Lun, was a high-level apostle at this stage.
In fact, Qin Lun still didn’t know what the 48 contribution points he received in the Illusory Demon World meant. All of the apostles sent by the Broken Star System obtained a total of 17 spacetime cores in the Illusory Demon World, and he alone accounted for more than one-third of the total. His 48 contribution points were much more than the 35 contribution points obtained by the orphan world from the Golden Evaluation.
Qin Lun had used two mission worlds to complete the path of the first apostle’s dozen mission worlds, and his title had risen far more than his strength. Although he had obtained several pieces of dark gold equipment, in fact, his frontal combat strength was even weaker than those low-level apostles who wore blue clothes and had a stable fighting style.
Not only did he not form a complete battle style, his own magical martial skill only had one Maize Summoning Technique and one Crystal Mirror Magic Array. There was only one person who was proficient in firearms and one who mastered swordsmanship. No matter how well the two mission worlds performed, how could they compare to the accumulation of more than ten mission worlds, especially in terms of combat experience?
However, Qin Lun had also successfully attracted the attention of the Collection of Laws of the Shattered Universe, which was why he had that special notification. Of course, Qin Lun would not ignore such a reminder. That was why he wanted to make up for his deficiencies in skills and form his own fighting style as soon as possible.
“What kind of skill scroll do you want?” Osiris asked cautiously.
The skill scrolls that appeared at the auction were even rarer than dark gold equipment. The apostles were willing to circulate equipment that wasn’t suitable for them, but they rarely used skill scrolls. This was the core of the combat profession, and it would not be sold unless it was absolutely necessary.
“I want summoning skills and ranged offensive and defensive spells!” Qin Lun said with a smile.
He didn’t change his original combat career plan, summoning and ranged attacks. The most suitable user for the Crystal Mirror Magic Array was the Demon Warrior, but Qin Lun only intended to use it as an evasion spell. One was because he only had enough energy to use four times, and the other was because he lacked melee martial skills.
“Summoning skills and ranged spells are not easy to find. I need to ask a few familiar friends!” Osiris’s expression was a little ugly. He began to have a premonition of being cheated.
