The Death List Novel - Chapter 237

Chapter 237 A Cheap Supermarket
“It’s her!” Qin Lun looked at the token and was surprised. The contact was the high-ranking female apostle who had given him two suggestions, Kelly, the deputy leader of the core division of the large guild, Lost.

‘”Could it be that she hasn’t given up yet? No, forget about the experience in Nars World, based on the time it took to shatter the starry sky, she just talked to me two days ago, so she shouldn’t immediately invite me to join the guild! Then this time, she shouldn’t take the initiative to contact me …”

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he pushed open the door and walked towards the projector in the hall.

At this time, Didi and Frank had already returned from the outside. They were each holding a large plate of fruit and eating it on the sofa. They seemed to be enjoying it, and it was extremely coincidental.

“Master, um, um, you have a lot of messages … cough cough!” Seeing Qin Lun appear on the stairs, Didi tried to swallow all the flesh in his mouth, but he swallowed it too quickly, almost choking on it.

“Little thing, are you alright?” Frank hurriedly put down the fruit plate in his hand and patted it on the back with an anxious expression.

“Big man, I’m fine!” Didi finally regained his composure and let out a long breath. It seemed that the two of them had been fighting warmly for only half a day. Compared to Qin Lun, Didi seemed to have no fear of Frank, who was also an apostle, and the hunchback servant seemed to be willing to get close to the little thing.

“Young Master, what’s inside that servant’s warehouse” Frank’s voice rang out from Qin Lun’s Apostle Soul Seal. The two of them had formed a master-slave relationship, so they both knew each other’s Apostle Numbers. They could communicate directly through the Apostle Soul Seal, which was equivalent to their separate guild channel.

“Oh, I put it in. Since you treat me like a young master, then you must be our butler!” Qin Lun said with a smile.

“Yes, Young Master!” Frank did not resist the role of housekeeper. He only hesitated for a moment before saying, “But … Young Master, if I die, then what’s inside …”

“Frank, if Young Master is a warrior, then you are my strongest shield. If even the shield is broken, then the warrior will naturally fall!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he slowly said, “So … don’t die, Frank!”

The hunchbacked servant fell silent. He lowered his head and fiercely nibbled on the fruit on the fruit plate.

Qin Lun smiled. Frank was not an outstanding apostle in character. If he didn’t carry the lives of the two of them, he wouldn’t have a strong desire to fight. Sooner or later, he would die at the hands of the enemy because of his mercy.

Seeing that the big man was suddenly worried, Didi seemed to be silent for a moment. He took out the projector in the hall and handed it to Qin Lun.

Qin Lun turned on the projector and flipped through it, raising his eyebrows. At noon, purchasers appeared on the few items that he had just placed at the auction house. The two skill scrolls and the Beast King Hunting Bow he placed on the display bar actually had hundreds of messages!

What surprised him the most was that not only were there people buying the skull coins, the competitor leather armor, and the combat strength apparatus, there were also quite a few bidders.

The so-called bidders were people who bought the same item, and the auction price had been rising. Although this was the real auction, it rarely appeared in the auction house of the Evil Demon Horn.

The reason for that was because there was no real auctioneer at the Corner of the Devil’s Auction House. It was an automatic consignment. When the apostles marked the starting price of an item, they would always mark it higher, so if someone needed it, they would naturally leave behind a message. In the end, after some discussion, the two sides would sell it at a reasonable price.

However, bidders had appeared for all three items Qin Lun had consigned this time. The Battle Strength Instrument that he had marked as the highest starting price had now greatly exceeded the original starting price of 20,000 broken crystals. The latest price was 30,000 broken crystals. As for the slightly damaged purple leather armor, the competition was even more intense. The latest price broke through to 50,000 broken crystals.

However, the leather armor of the competitors was still not the most expensive consignment. The skull coins that Qin Lun didn’t care about were actually 15 times more expensive. The starting price of 1000 broken crystals was raised to 15000 broken crystals, which made Qin Lun’s eyes almost pop out.

At this time, how could Qin Lun not understand that these three items might have aspects that he did not quite understand?

“As expected!” Qin Lun pondered for a moment before flipping through the message on the projector. Seeing that the senior female apostle Kelly, who had invited him to join Lost, was still online, she immediately sent a contact request.

“Haha, you’re finally awake!” Kelly’s exquisite voice soon appeared on the other side of the projector.

The apostles were different from normal people, because they were in and out of the task world, their sleep time was completely chaotic. If you don’t process important information in time, you’re 90% likely to be resting.

“Is there anything you need me for?” Qin Lun said respectfully to Kelly.

Although he was indifferent to everything, Qin Lun would still show humility to those who had taught him, even if he didn’t show any respect. Only in this way would others have a favorable impression of him and continue to give him help and advice.

“These items were consigned to the auction house by you, right?” Kelly operated the projector for a while, and six items immediately appeared on it. There were not only three items Qin Lun had consigned, but also three equipment skills he had placed on the display bar.

“Yes, is there anything you need on it?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked with a smile.

“Indeed!” Kelly let out an exquisite chuckle. “I saw the familiar contact number below. I didn’t dare believe it. So it was really you!”

“Is there a problem with this?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose awkwardly. He had a premonition that the high-ranking female apostle would tell him something he didn’t know yet!

“Problem? Haha, of course, this is a big problem!” Kelly smiled and calmed down for a while before she said emotionally, “I remember our first conversation was about how the World Tree Fruit transformed into an elven bloodline, right?”

“Yes, yes!” Qin Lun replied carefully.

“The second time, I gave you some advice on your career path!” Kelly said with a complicated gaze, “To be able to obtain those items … I believe you have successfully changed professions … Your progress is the fastest ah … Judging from your several consignments of items, you will only be able to perform an Otherworldly Mission once every 20 days, and each time, you will reap a huge harvest …”

“What … do you want to say?” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and asked vigilantly.

“Don’t be so careful. I’m not interested in you!” Kelly rolled her eyes unhappily. “You work very hard, but you really should go out more. Like an ordinary apostle, after the mission, go to the entertainment venue for a few drinks and exchange some information with the other apostles. Otherwise, you wouldn’t lack a lot of necessary common sense!”

“You mean …”

“You have been to the auction a lot of times, don’t you find it strange? There were more than ten thousand apostles in the Horn of the Devil, nearly twenty thousand apostles. There were thousands of groups of apostles, large and small. There were many high-level apostles among them. However, there were almost no high-level skill scrolls or legendary items in the auction house. Even dark gold equipment was mostly useless … ”

Qin Lun slowly frowned. He had only crossed four mission worlds, and only had three transactions in the auction house. Once the hexagonal prism shield was exchanged for the FN-500 and Sabak rings; Once, he exchanged the Dark Gold Helmet and Immunity Token for three skill scrolls. The last one was the funeral trade.

However, after hearing Kelly’s words, he really felt this way. The Dark Gold FN-500 he had bought was poorly suited, and the consumption of light and dark funeral services was too terrifying. Apart from the Thorn Technique, the other skill scrolls were the result of bartering during the transaction, not his harvest at the auction house.

“Are you saying that there is another place for professional apostles to trade? Is the auction house at the Horn of Devils just a place to sell low-grade equipment?” Qin Lun thought for a moment and understood what Kelly meant.

‘”Hehe, you’re smart! The auction house at the Corner of the Devil is set up by the city management organization. There’s a fee for consignments there. Of course, this fee is very low, and most of the apostles don’t care about it. The key is to trade items there, leaving behind transaction records. This is the place that matters!”

“Few apostles are willing to expose their equipment skills in this way,” Kelly said with a smile. Moreover, when the apostles reached a certain stage, they would not only know many companions, but also have many enemies. If one day you get a piece of Legendary equipment, you can’t use it yourself. Do you wish to trade among friends, or do you wish to sell at the auction house without distinction between friend and foe? ”

Qin Lun fell silent. This was indeed a problem. If he got a piece of Legendary Equipment that he couldn’t use, he would have to use it for a trade. He must have hoped that the apostles who were friendlier to him would get it, not be secretly taken over by the enemy and instead deal with him.

‘”It seems like you understand that the auction house at the Corner of the Devil is just a supermarket, a supermarket that sells cheap goods. Apart from apostles like you who lack common sense, only beginner apostles who haven’t changed professions usually shop there for equipment skills. Apostles who have stepped into professional paths have other real trading places.”

Kelly covered her mouth and chuckled, “The items you threw into the auction house this afternoon were fairly ordinary, but the three items on display are already the core equipment skills of professional apostles.” Especially the longbow and its corresponding bow dance technique. Not to mention beginner apostles, even Second Grade professional apostles were very interested in it. It was the core item of archers’ profession. You must have received a lot of messages right now … ”

“I understand” Qin Lun smiled bitterly. It turned out that those hundreds of messages were from this place.

“It’s good that I understand. I’ve told you so much, shouldn’t I give priority to selling it to you?” Kelly blinked her eyes craftily and purposely straightened her chest, “It’s good for you!”
