The Death List Novel - Chapter 528
Chapter 528 An Unbearable Exchange
Qin Lun came to the half-plane trading field on the order-keeping front again and found that this place was much more lively than last time. Most of the projectors at the stalls were operated by Apostle, and the entire platform in the cloud had actually become crowded like a busy city.
However, looking at this prosperous scene, Qin Lun frowned slightly instead. Clearly, the news that the Light Party had been annihilated in the mission world should have been leaked. This was a panicked transaction by the Alliance Apostles. In some ways, this superficial boom is a reflection of the past.
The people on the order-keeping front were panicking. Apostle had put into the market high-value items that they normally did not use, but they were reluctant to sell, wanting to exchange them for equipment and items that were suitable for them. People who don’t know the truth always think that it’s good to have one more trump card, even if they lose a portion of their profits.
In fact, no matter what happens to Devil’s horn in the future, it is a matter between high-level teams, and it has nothing to do with most mid-and low-level Apostle. However, this was a good thing for Qin Lun. He had both the items he wanted to sell and a large amount of broken crystals on him. The more Apostle he sought to trade, the more chances he had to get something good that he could not normally buy.
Because the trading platform had flooded in several times the usual number of people, the official waiters of the Alliance were too busy to touch the ground, and there was actually no one to guide them. Qin Lun also enjoyed his leisure and casually strolled around a few times before arriving at a trading room that had just been given up.
Opening the projector interface, Qin Lun skimmed through the most popular items on the market. He found that the price of Apostle equipment had not risen significantly, slightly lower than usual, but the price of consumables such as Magic Scroll and recovery drugs had instead risen.
Of course, similar dark gold and above equipment with high suitability still had high prices, and most traders were looking for barter, not simply selling shattered crystals.
Qin Lun pondered for a while before he started to search for armor. During the Battle of London, his leather boots and leather windbreaker were completely scrapped, and the Earth Dragon Lizard’s leather armor and sacrificial gloves were partially damaged, requiring some new items to be replenished.
Cowhide boots and leather trench coats were only dark blue in quality, so he didn’t really care. As for the Earth Dragon Lizard’s leather armor and sacrificial gloves, he was unwilling to rashly find a native blacksmith to repair them, as that would reduce the quality of the armor.
He had already decided to hand over the leather armor and gloves to Kelly and ask the female Tyrannosaurus rex to use her contribution points to repair him. As a high-tier Apostle, Kelly’s Apostle title must have reached the third rank, and she could already use her contribution points to repair her equipment. Since the female Tyrannosaurus rex still needed his help, this amount of contribution points was definitely not a problem.
After looking at the items in the projection for a while, an empty waitress finally noticed him and politely served him drinks and snacks. Qin Lun tasted the green duckweed tea produced by the Elves Clan. His eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a piece of equipment that was more suitable for him.
Indian Feather Boots (Footwear Armor)
Quality: Dark Gold
Material: Indian Eagle Feather, Barbaric Beast Leather
Weight: 230 g
Tool Soul: Indian Condor
Additional: 2 points of protection, 4 points of agility
Laws of Equipment Ability: Shining Spirit, Soaring Imperial
Flash Spirit: With the help of the Indian Condor’s artifact soul, it can flash for a short distance. Its speed is two to three times faster than before, and it does not need to borrow any force points to change directions. Every time he used the Flash Spirit skill, he would need 10 seconds to cool down, consuming the same amount of mana.
Soaring: With the help of the Hawk Soul, Apostle can achieve short-range gliding. However, every 10 seconds of gliding time, the mana consumption would be doubled. Once the Soaring Skill was stopped, it would require three hours of cooldown.
Equipment Description: This equipment has a certain upgrade space. For example, Apostle has wind element affinity. The Spirit Flash skill will reduce the cooldown time depending on the element affinity, reducing the limit to one second. Imperial Soaring Skill’s visual affinity increases gliding time, reduces mana consumption, and reduces cooldown time by three minutes.
The two skills of this equipment were extremely useful. Compared to many movement skills, the speed of the Flash Spirit skill was not very fast, let alone teleportation.
What Qin Lun valued was not its speed, but the fact that he didn’t need to borrow any strength. It didn’t need to borrow any force points to change directions, and it was extremely useful in battles. Combined with the Gale Steps, it would appear incomparably ghostly in the eyes of the opponent, unable to predict.
Of course, the Flash Spirit needed 10 seconds to cool down, reducing the value of this skill infinitely. In an ever-changing battle, 10 seconds was enough time for a lot of things to happen. A single flash spirit was useless.
In addition, the Soaring Skill was the same, doubling the mana consumption every 10 seconds. This meant that the Soaring Skill could not be used for long-distance attacks. It was also a chicken rib skill, inferior to Qin Lun’s Gale Steps. It’s just that it’s a little useful when you fall from a high altitude.
Fortunately, the last description of the equipment saved it. As Moonlight Elves, who had obtained the ancient inheritance, Qin Lun knew very well that his wind element affinity was definitely not inferior to that of a top wind mage. This pair of shoes would achieve the greatest value in his hands.
Shortened to one second cooldown, the Flash Spirit will truly become a ghost movement technique, reducing mana consumption. Soaring Imperial Skill with only three minutes cooldown will be able to be used for long-term attacks, and its actual effect will far exceed Gale Steps.
Most importantly, this Dark Gold Equipment was suitable for most mission worlds, and it also had an artifact soul. Even if the quality of this artifact soul wasn’t high, it still had the possibility of advancing. Even if Qin Lun reached a higher level in the future, this piece of equipment should still be a common item.
However, the price of this equipment was very high. The owner set a price of 150,000 broken crystals. After the Killer Devil’s internal trade fair, Qin Lun now had 220,000 broken crystals in hand, enough to buy this piece of equipment.
However, this price was slightly premium. After all, Apostle, who possessed a high affinity for wind elements, was not too cabbage. Otherwise, this item would have been snatched away by others. Adding on the fact that Qin Lun had consumed most of the Magic Scroll and recovery items in the Divine Comedy World, it was impossible for him to buy a piece of equipment with a hundred thousand broken crystals.
Of course, the price set by the equipment owner was just a gimmick, and the more practical requirements were in the barter bar below. His first requirement was to exchange long-range weapons of the same quality, regardless of type but with high suitability.
The second requirement is a large number of Magic Scroll or extremely high-quality recovery treasures! What is an extremely high-quality recovery treasure? It was an item that allowed Apostle to recover from near-death to its peak in an extremely short period of time.
Looking at the description of the Indian Feather Boots, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He searched the contact number below the equipment and discovered that the owner of the contact number was not only selling the shoes, but also several other high-value equipment.
Apparently, this Apostle was affected by the rumors, fearing that a large-scale civil war would ensue in Devil’s horn. He put all the high-value items he had accumulated on the trading platform, or perhaps this was a common item of his guild.
Qin Lun thought for a moment, then smiled and pressed Apostle’s contact number. Then, he drank azure duckweed tea and waited for the other party to appear.
“You want to buy my equipment? Which one?” Soon, a rabbit-masked Apostle appeared on the other end of the projector. The Elves mask and animal mask were the most commonly used masks in Apostle’s order-keeping front.
“Indian Feather Boots!” Qin Lun smiled and placed the projection of the boots on the interface.
“Where’s your deal?” Qin Lun admired the conciseness of the other party’s words.
“I don’t have the weapon you specified!” Qin Lun smiled and said, “However, I believe that my trading products will meet your requirements!”
Qin Lun didn’t try to be mysterious. He immediately placed a few items on the projection that he had prepared long ago. There were Hawkeye Clint’s Archery Specialization Scrolls and the accompanying Advanced Stress Training Scrolls, as well as Blood Crystals and Green Chain Spear Blades.
In the Indian Feather Boots trade, the opponent stated that he was exchanging long-range attack weapons, but there was no restriction on the type of weapon. Obviously, he didn’t have a specific long-range attack ability for the time being, so the Archery Specialization Scroll should be suitable for him.
In addition, he demanded large amounts of Magic Scroll and high-quality restored treasures, all he wanted was to increase his survival rate in battle. In this respect, the Blood Crystal could also meet some of the requirements, which was why Qin Lun was confident that he could reach a deal.
As for the Green Chain Spear Blades, Qin Lun only took them out to collect them. Judging from the range of high-value items sold by Apostle, he shouldn’t be a beginner Apostle. He should have reached at least Second Grade or joined a mature guild.
Most of these Apostle would not easily change their main weapons. The value of the Green Chain Blades was very high, so it would be harder to sell them at this time.
However, since this Apostle was affected by the rumors, it meant that he was not a high-level Apostle. The Green Chain Spear Blade could show Qin Lun’s strength, increase the integrity of the transaction, and save each other from probing each other.
“All three of your items meet the requirements for trading! How do you want to trade?” After carefully examining the item description, the other party remained silent for a period of time before he spoke again, and even the Green Chain Spear Blade acknowledged, “How do you want to trade?”
“If you only want the Archery Specialization Scroll, then change it. Add the Advanced Training Scroll and pay me another 70,000 broken crystals!” Qin Lun glanced at the screen and said indifferently.
“This price is very reasonable!” Apostle nodded straightforwardly after pondering for a moment. In all seriousness, Qin Lun’s conditions allowed him to take advantage of 10,000 to 20,000 broken crystals. However, as a buyer, there was nothing he could do about it. He could not expect the merchant to sell at a loss.
“Then … what about the other two items? Since you took them out, you should be willing to sell them, right?” Just as Qin Lun thought that the deal was over, Apostle, who was opposite him, proposed a new deal.
“Sorry, I’ve seen your other consignments. I’m afraid I don’t have anything I need!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “These two items will be sold at a much higher price at this time. I don’t think you will accept them!”
“I know! You … Wait a moment, don’t turn off the projection yet!” After pondering for a while, the rabbit mask left the projection and went to discuss it with his companions.
“This guy is quite rich!” Looking at the screen, Qin Lun subconsciously rubbed his chin. The Blood Crystal he displayed wasn’t much, but the value of the Green Chain Spear Blade was definitely more than 150,000 broken crystals. Furthermore, it was only high during this period of time.
These three items could not be shared by a team. They could only be used by one or two people at most. This fellow had paid 70,000 broken crystals in his last transaction, and he had bought the Blood Crystal and Green Chain Spear Blades. The one-time liquidity was already 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Moreover, he had to replenish his recovery items and other consumables, which were almost comparable to Qin Lun’s. One had to know that Qin Lun had obtained a golden rating in the Divine Comedy World to have so many surplus items.
“Let’s see if this thing can be exchanged for two items of yours!” When the rabbit mask sat in front of the projection again, Qin Lun looked at the projection screen and slowly opened his mouth.
“Are you really going to use this thing in exchange?!” Qin Lun couldn’t be blamed for losing his composure, because this inconspicuous rabbit, Apostle, had actually placed a divine artifact on the projection screen.
No, this thing isn’t a divine artifact. It should be called a divine artifact! When Qin Lun came back to his senses and took a closer look at the item description, the expression on his face instantly became very exciting.
Meryl Mies’ Placenta (World Treasure, Divine Artifact)
Description: An organ of the Goddess of Wisdom and Peace that can strip Apostle’s soul mark from the body of Laws and reproduce a new body. Attributes refer to the original Laws of the Body, which can heal any damage, including soul wounds and malicious curses.
Usage Note: When Apostle activates this item, Meryl Mies’ Placenta is repelled into the critical dimension by the Laws of the quest world and reconstructs Apostle’s body of Laws in the critical dimension. Once Apostle recovers the item, it will return to the mission world with coordinates of any location it had previously arrived at.
Hint: Meryl Mies’ placenta can be recharged by devouring the godhead. Currently, there are 21 remaining godheads. Reconstructing the Elementary Laws Body required 10 points of divine power, 20 points of Second Grade, 40 points of Third Grade, and 100 points of Legendary Apostles. The placenta lost its consciousness and could no longer nurture its divine body.
Meryl Mies’ placenta was small in projection, actually five meters long, the widest cross-section was more than two meters wide, the middle of the two tips was elliptical, and it was shaped like a giant football. The skin was crumpled, and dark green flashing patterns appeared.
The quality of this item was indeed a divine-like artifact, but because it was almost impossible for it to be replenished with energy, it was basically a consumable item, so it could only be called a “divine item”.
The reason was very simple. Even if this thing could save his life, and even if Apostle had a very small chance of obtaining a godhead, which Apostle would dare to do something as extravagant as feeding this thing with a godhead?
In other words, the true value of Meryl Misses Placenta was the remaining 21 points of divine power. It could save Apostle twice, Apostle once, and then it could be thrown away.
“Why would you trade for a high-quality recovery treasure with this thing … Mm, I understand. You don’t have to tell me!” Hearing this question, Apostle opened his mouth and Qin Lun waved his hand contradictorily.
Qin Lun rubbed his temples with his fingers, thinking about the gains and losses. This thing could directly hide in the critical dimension and reconstruct the body, which was equivalent to having an extra life. Although it was essentially a consumable item, its quality was still as high as a divine artifact. No matter what, it would still cost hundreds of thousands of broken crystals.
Using hundreds of thousands of broken crystals to exchange for a life wasn’t considered expensive. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be expensive. However, the question was, in most cases, the trump card of tens of thousands of shattered crystals was enough to save his life. Was there a need for such extravagance?
Kieran, for example, had fallen into the valley of the undead in Toril, and it would be more appropriate to use Mermaid’s placenta in desperate circumstances. However, many items that only needed tens of thousands of broken crystals could still save lives in that situation. For example, Qin Lun used a peer card, or some kind of Magic Scroll that flew for a short period of time, and so on.
This Apostle would take out this item in exchange for it, but he couldn’t stand the urinary nature of this item. Not to mention him, even Qin Lun couldn’t do anything about such a luxurious life-saving prop.
Even though Meryl Mies’ Placenta is very versatile, with hundreds of thousands of broken crystals, others can buy a lot of Magic Scroll and recovery treasures. Ten of them will be enough for you!
“You … You …” Qin Lun hesitated for a long time. After all, it was a divine artifact. He was unwilling to reject it.
“I’ll add another 30,000 pieces of broken crystals to you?” Apostle gritted his teeth and turned around.
Thirty thousand broken crystals was about the price of blood crystals. He had used Meryl Mies’ placenta to exchange for the Green Chain Spear Blades. Even though this type of divine artifact was somewhat unreliable, and even though this type of divine artifact was more practical, both sides were still somewhat speechless.
“Alright!” Qin Lun pinched his nose and recognized it.
After reaching a deal, neither side wanted to look at the projection screen anymore and pack the items away as quickly as possible. Whether it was the buyer or the seller, they felt that thinking too much would create unnecessary regret.
After completing this transaction, the number of broken crystals on Qin Lun’s body reached more than 300,000. However, buying a batch of Magic Scroll and restoration items would cost at least half of them.
Apart from the items he had obtained from the Divine Comedy World, there were only Pim particles, two Intermediate Stress Training Scrolls, and a Universal Gold Evaluation Card from the Middle Demon World. He didn’t intend to sell the latter two, and the Pim particle was going to be handed over to Frank. This thing is also a consumable item, with less side effects. It should be used as a life-saving prop for hunchbacked servants.
After completing the transaction, Qin Lun did not get up and leave the projector in front of him. He started searching the items on the trading platform aimlessly and displayed the compliments of the angel in the funeral on the projector. However, there was a very strange auction condition. The items that could be traded were very clear, and that was the Beast King Hunting Bow in Rice’s hand.
He wanted to use this method to contact the Lost Team. The last time Kelly saw him, she almost changed her appearance to avoid the spies. Now that the situation on the order-keeping front was getting worse, Qin Lun had no choice but to use this obscure method.
Rice’s personality was the same as a pistachio, and she was also the core newcomer of the Lost Party. If any of the members of the Lost Team saw this message on the trading platform, Kelly would probably contact him very soon.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for someone to dial Qin Lun’s contact number.
“What? I missed you again in less than two days!” The disheveled Kelly soon appeared on the projector. It looked like she had just woken up. That heartless look made Qin Lun very suspicious that this woman had not taken the crisis before her to heart.
