Chapter 68

With four days left until the return, Chu Danqing spent his time in peace.

Until a servant of the Lu Fu came to report that the Commandery Lieutenant Captain Xiongquan had come to visit.

This made Chu Danqing feel puzzled, but he still met him.

As soon as Captain Xiongquan arrived, he asked straight to the point: "Do you want to trade?"

"Trade?" Chu Danqing was slightly puzzled.

"Life Link and Energy Link."

"You name a price, I'll take them." Captain Xiongquan didn't beat around the bush at all.

Chu Danqing's eye twitched: "I've already learned them, I can't give them to you, and besides, these two skills have big flaws."

Although the skills had flaws, they still had potential; as long as he didn't encounter enemies much stronger than himself, they were quite good for killing people in the shadows when operated correctly.

"I know," Captain Xiongquan said: "These are not problems."

"So you found a way to make up for the flaws?" Chu Danqing's eyes widened: "You name a price, I'll buy."

He turned to acquire them instead.

"It seems you have no intention of selling." Captain Xiongquan looked regretful and turned to leave.

He was still very straightforward; knowing which problems couldn't get a result, there was no need to continue.

"Selling is possible, but you have to solve the trouble of the skills already being learned, and at the same time, I want to see your quote first." For Chu Danqing, if these two skills could be exchanged for suitable resources, it wasn't impossible.

As Captain Xiongquan spoke, he handed over an item.

【Skill Stripping Scroll】

【Type: Stripping Item】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 1/1】

【Effect: After use on oneself, autonomously choose to strip an Excellent Tier skill, while needing to pay (Skill Level) × 1000 Paradise Points, which can form a corresponding skill scroll】

(Note: Some active skills, all passive skills, being stripped will cause irreversible damage, please do not strip skills at will)

(Note: Stripping inherited skills will cause massive irreversible damage)

"I have two copies in my hand, I'll pay the Paradise Points for you; of course, if you want to discount it into the trade, that's also fine." After Captain Xiongquan let Chu Danqing see the item, he took out another piece of equipment and handed it to Chu Danqing for inspection.

Chu Danqing didn't take it, but said: "I need to know if stripping these two skills will have irreversible damage."

The reason he didn't look at the equipment data was that he was afraid he would be tempted.

"No, you can write this clause into the Paradise trade notarization, and all your losses will be borne by me." Captain Xiongquan gave a guarantee.

Chu Danqing thought for a moment and asked again: "Are Skill Stripping Scrolls rare?"

"They are produced by Life Apostles in Paradise; in the Reserve area, Common and Excellent tiers are easy to buy, but Exemplary tiers are hard to buy."

"I'll give you a secret for free: don't learn skills randomly; it's best to extend based on the foundation of your own system."

"Skills that are too messy and have low compatibility will affect the future."

"Unless you can fully master these skills, do not learn one every time you see one." Captain Xiongquan seemed to really want these two skills of Chu Danqing.

"With your strength, it shouldn't be hard to acquire them, right?" Chu Danqing noticed Captain Xiongquan's urgency.

These two skills were not precious; what was lacking to encounter and complete the set was a good opportunity.

"Naturally, the faster you become stronger, the better; you have what I want, and I have what you want; isn't it just right to trade?" Captain Xiongquan eased his emotions before saying this.

"Let's see the quote you gave first." Chu Danqing said, looking at the equipment data displayed by the other party.

【Flood Dragon Soul Ring】

【Type: Equipment · Ring】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Flood Dragon Entanglement (Active): Consumes 15 points of Energy Value, summons a flood dragon shadow to deal a 10-second Flood Dragon Soul Entanglement to the target, cooldown 10 minutes】

【Equipment Requirement: Energy Value cap of 30 points】

As soon as Chu Danqing saw it, he knew that this thing was a pair with the Tiger Soul Ring and the Heart-Human Ring, and it was definitely opened from the Unicorn Flood Dragon's chest.

"Just this?" Dissatisfaction appeared on Chu Danqing's face: "I roughly know its origin, and I don't deny its effect."

"But neither the consumption nor the cooldown is enough to exchange for my two skills."

He had thought it would be equipment similar to the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Diagram, but the result left him greatly disappointed.

"Pay attention to the keyword, the word 'summon'," Captain Xiongquan explained: "It was opened from the Unicorn Flood Dragon's chest, and it is highly likely to possess a True Spirit."

"After awakening, it will inevitably improve the active effect, and there is a 90% probability that it will change from controlling the summoned flood dragon shadow to having the flood dragon shadow fight for you."

Chu Danqing shook his head: "Not enough value; my two skills are both LV. 2, and even if I get my hands on it, I still need to spend Paradise Points to awaken the True Spirit."

"So you cannot evaluate the value before awakening with the value after awakening."

"If you fully awaken it, I would have to compensate you with resources."

"Three for two is fine, I'll add another knowledge-type item," Captain Xiongquan agreed, but also put forward his own requirements: "But I can only bear half of your stripping fee."

Three for two was definitely his loss, so he needed to get compensation from other aspects.

As for the knowledge-type item, he would copy the content and then give the original to Chu Danqing; anyway, it was for his own use.

Chu Danqing thought slightly and accepted the statement: "No problem."

"But I have to see the other quote you gave first."

This quote would determine whether Chu Danqing would trade.

"Rest assured, I guarantee it will satisfy you." Captain Xiongquan was very confident.

As he spoke, he displayed the attributes of an item and a skill book to Chu Danqing.

【Old Captain Fist Art Manuscript】

【Type: Knowledge-type item】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Effect: Reading can improve melee foundation and fist art foundation levels】

——

【Skill Book: Blood Oath Covenant】

【Type: Active Skill】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Effect: After use, obtain the skill Blood Oath Covenant, consume Paradise Points to summon targets who have reached a covenant within the Trial World to fight for you】

When he saw this skill, Chu Danqing was truly tempted.

This skill was not tailor-made for him, but it was extremely suitable.

It was just that the quality was not high, which meant there would be flaws.

"I'll compensate you with 1000 Paradise Points," Captain Xiongquan added another blow.

He knew that using Paradise Points as consumption was something many Reserve Apostles could not accept.

"You give me another bottle of Weak Energy Potion," Chu Danqing continued to increase the stakes.

"Two bottles of Weak Healing Potion, if that's okay, we'll notarize the trade," Captain Xiongquan was definitely unwilling.

"Deal, but the delivery time needs to be discussed again," Chu Danqing didn't hesitate but raised a condition.

"I'll give it to you before leaving." Currently, his means were limited; if he gave it now, what would he do?

There were only four days left; give it to him before returning.

"No, I have a use for it, I must have the spot goods," Captain Xiongquan was also unwilling.

For a time, both sides were deadlocked.

It was clear that Captain Xiongquan had some important matters to attend to, which was why he was so urgent.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take out his own knowledge-type items.
