Chapter 62: Stall

"It's actually jewelry equipment?"

Sasuke looked at the dropped Purple Equipment with excitement.

A bracelet with a purple-copper texture emitted a faint, shimmering glow, and waves of dense mental energy emanated from it.

【Sarina's Bracelet (Right)】.

A piece of jewelry that can provide the wearer with extremely high mental Resistance.

After collecting the three-piece set of the left bracelet, right bracelet, and necklace, mental Resistance can exceed 100. If two more rings are added to make a five-piece set, it can also generate a mental Barrier to withstand one mental attack with an intensity not exceeding 300 points.

Jigoku-kyuu fukuhon,

besides the Silver Material needed for the Family Token, these pieces of equipment and skills are also worth a fortune.

Sarina's five-piece jewelry set, the Shoukan kokuro shuei skill, and the Silver-quality Experience Capsule.

As long as they drop, they will be snatched up crazily by players.

Sasuke suppressed his excitement and said, "I want this bracelet!"

According to standard procedure, all drops from the Konoha Troops must be distributed by the captain based on contribution.

Sasuke's behavior had already crossed the line.

But there was no help for it; this piece of jewelry equipment that could enhance mental Resistance was too important to him.

The Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu awakened by the man he wanted to kill was a high-intensity Genjutsu that could plunge people into nightmares.

He had been cruelly tortured by that person on the night of the clan's annihilation.

Even though he now possessed the strength of a Jonin, it would be very difficult to defeat Itachi Uchiha if he could not defend against the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Therefore, Sasuke absolutely had to complete the Sarina jewelry set.

"If everyone has no objections."

Asuma looked at the others; as long as it wasn't the Silver Heart needed by the village, he didn't care about the ownership of a piece of Purple Equipment.

Before anyone could speak, Sasuke had already taken out 4,000 Reward Points and transferred them to the teammates present as compensation.

"Then let's give it to Sasuke."

The teammates had no objections.

Only Neji did not accept the Reward Points, but instead also took the liberty of selecting a dropped item.

Sarina's Special Medicinal Powder.

A type of concealment item that, once used, can completely mask a player's tracks, to the point where even a high-purity Byakugan cannot detect their presence.

The duration is 8 minutes.

If one enters combat status during this period, the concealment effect disappears.

"If the matter of killing the Main House is exposed, eight minutes is enough for me to leave the Hyuga Clan grounds, but I cannot escape Konoha unscathed."

Hyuga Neji thought to himself.

He still needed to continue collecting the medicinal powder, and he could not arouse the suspicion of his teammates.

【Clear】

As the black text appeared, everyone was teleported out of the Jigoku-kyuu fukuhon.

The area around the valley was filled with stalls.

"Buying Fushi no tamashii, must be Purple Material produced from Youshi-kyuu!"

"Come and take a look, fresh jewelry equipment."

Sasuke heard the stall owner's shouting and hurried over, but his face was full of disappointment after seeing the attributes of the jewelry equipment clearly.

Although it was 【Sarina's Bracelet (Left)】, its quality was Green.

It was clearly jewelry dropped from Normal and Bouken-kyuu dungeons.

"Only equipment of the same quality can complete the set effect; the game merchant is really strict!"

A player said these words, but his face was full of anger.

His words immediately drew agreement from the surrounding players, their language full of melancholy and resentment.

"Clearing Sihun Yingdi is already very difficult, the drop rate for the jewelry set is low, the difficulty of collecting the five-piece set is quite high, and they even set it so that jewelry of different qualities cannot form a set!"

"I spent 4,000 Reward Points just on tickets, and all my earnings from this period have been poured into Sihun Yingdi, and I haven't gotten a single thing."

"Be content, just the massive amount of experience from clearing it isn't a loss; I'm already close to max level!"

But some players also noticed the counters that had grown naturally like tree stumps.

On each tree stump, there was a transparent bubble.

"Look, these are the automatic shelves launched by the game merchant; you can deposit equipment you want to buy or sell on the tree stumps."

"Fifty Reward Points for an hour, is there really some sucker who would rent them?"

"The ones who don't rent are the suckers. If you don't rent a tree stump stall, you can only squat behind the dungeon entrance to hawk your wares, delaying your leveling time; the loss is much greater than fifty Reward Points."

After the tree stump stalls appeared, they were visibly rented out by players.

Sasuke also rented a tree stump stall.

He threw the useless materials and equipment from his backpack into the tree stump stall, set the prices, and began to browse the equipment at the other stalls.

Most were low-quality sets; very few could reach Purple Quality.

"Sasuke-kun."

A voice suddenly called out to Sasuke, who was browsing.

Sasuke looked up, his face immediately full of vigilance.

The person who appeared before him was a white-haired man wearing glasses and shrouded in a black robe.

Yakushi Kabuto.

Although they had no prior interaction, the other party had clearly been labeled a rogue ninja by the village, and a wanted poster had been issued.

"Don't be nervous, Sasuke."

Yakushi Kabuto smiled all over his face, took three pieces of Purple jewelry from his pocket, and said, "You should be looking for these, right?"

These pieces of Purple jewelry were originally items Lord Orochimaru used to compensate for the shortcomings of soul damage.

Now they have been brought out to become a part of the Konoha Collapse Plan.

Sasuke remained expressionless, but his heart was surging with excitement.

Currently, there are not many player teams capable of clearing a Jigoku-kyuu fukuhon; they are all Elite players from various Ninja Villages, and with the support of their Ninja Villages, they are not short on money, so once a piece of Purple jewelry drops, they are rarely willing to sell it.

Even if there are any, they are just scattered, individual pieces.

The nearly complete set of Purple jewelry before his eyes is quite rare.

But the more this is the case, the more vigilant Sasuke feels inside, though he remains calm on the surface and asks, "You want to sell them to me?"

Contacting a rogue ninja, even in the Samsara Game, is still a very dangerous act.

If the village finds out, it is very likely he will be forcibly summoned by the Interrogation Department.

"That's right, Sasuke."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded with a smile and said, "Twenty thousand Reward Points, and I will sell all the Purple jewelry to you; after all, we are not enemies."

A very low price.

A piece of ordinary Purple Equipment can be bought for seven or eight thousand Reward Points.

But for high-level set pieces like level 15 Purple jewelry, the price far exceeds ordinary Purple Equipment, and it even approaches the first-kill reward equipment with extremely strong attributes like the Ghost Banner and the Blood Fiend Greatsword.

Especially since being able to gather three pieces would make the price even higher, yet the other party is only asking for twenty thousand Reward Points.

What is his intention?

Sasuke thought to himself, but denied it aloud, "You are a rogue ninja, and I am a Konoha ninja; we are undoubtedly enemies."

"Sasuke, you are truly naive."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The destruction of the Uchiha clan—do you really think Itachi Uchiha could have done it alone?"

Yakushi Kabuto said something shocking.

Although Orochimaru had defected, he had always maintained contact with the Darkness of the Ninja, and with the fusion of the Sharingan all over his body and the Mokuton saibou, the truth about the Uchiha clan's destruction naturally could not be hidden from an experimenter like Orochimaru.

He is contacting the Uchiha survivor at this time precisely because he wants to drive a nail into Konoha.

Sasuke frowned deeply, suppressing his fluctuating emotions, and said, "What are you trying to say?"
