Chapter 460: This is faster than robbing

Lin An raised his eyebrows, yet found everyone looking at him with much the same gaze.

The meaning in those eyes was clearly saying.

Lin Dui, you're so strong—why not just go rob?

Lin An smiled helplessly and couldn't help touching his nose.

Is that the image I have in your minds?

Do I look like the kind of guy who likes to kill and loot?

He gave Gao Tian an annoyed glance, then resignedly said:

"In the trading channel, both parties' information can be kept confidential."

"Even if I take a liking to something, I might not know where the other party is."

"And even if I knew, what if the other party is far away?"

"If I don't use the system trade, I can't just trek ten thousand li and kill my way there, can I?"

Hearing Lin An's explanation, Gao Tian couldn't help feeling a bit regretful.

In his view, there aren't many good people in the chat channel.

Find a few guys who insult Lin An and belittle Long'an Base, kill them—it would save trouble, and save "money".

Seeing everyone's somewhat regretful expression, Lin An amusedly said:

"I haven't finished yet."

"We can't deceive or rob by force, but who said there's no other way?"

"Weapons and awakening potions—I won't sell these unless the other side offers an extremely high price and poses no threat to us; then I might consider parting with a little."

"But have you forgotten? We still have one piece of equipment."

"A piece of equipment worth a fortune."

As he spoke, Lin An gave a mysterious smile and took out the gun hidden in his ring.

Upon seeing this ordinary-looking, somewhat shabby gun, Gao Tian's face twitched strangely.

Even Mo Ling, who had been asleep, couldn't help poking his head out and stared blankly at the gun.

Those who had followed Lin An to the dream-battle naturally knew what it was.

The contaminated spirit-energy gun was equipment formerly belonging to the deranged puppet.

Xiao Mo Ling and Gao Tian exchanged a glance, simultaneously thinking of something, and couldn't help exclaiming "Holy shit!"

Seeing their huge reaction, others couldn't help but inspect the gun's attributes.

One look and they didn't know; upon looking, they were startled.

After examining the gun's stats, Huang Haitao stood frozen, mouth agape, as if he'd seen a ghost.

Liang Shaoguang even shouted "Holy shit!" and almost dropped the gun he was inspecting.

"Holy shit! Lord Lin An! This equipment... this equipment!!"

Excited to the point of fear.

Liang Shaoguang looked at the exaggerated, terrifying attributes in the equipment description, and all those notes made him feel like he was dreaming.

"Slay God (green, attack equipment, set)"

"Equipment attributes: Strength +10, Agility +10, Will +10, Constitution +10"

"Equipment special effect 1 【Life Lock】: Once locked on, a hit is guaranteed to kill."

"Equipment special effect 2 【Bullet Rain】: Can lock onto up to ten targets at once and fire simultaneously."

"Equipment description: Under the barrel, no god survives."

"Equipment evaluation: A weapon that has slaughtered spirits; killing a fourth-stage foe is as easy as turning over one's hand."

"This isn't equipment—it's basically a cheat."

After imagining Lin An's displayed strength, he wore a look of astonishment, scanning Lin An's face back and forth.

That's not right either...

Lord Lin An's displayed strength doesn't come from this gun.

But no matter what.

Almost at the same moment, Huang Haitao and Liang Shaoguang spoke in unison:

"Sir! This equipment absolutely cannot be sold!"

"A weapon of this caliber! It's practically our hope against the apocalypse!"

Excited to the point of trembling all over.

They couldn't understand how Lin An could have such powerful equipment and not use it, but under the strong stimulation they totally failed to notice Gao Tian about to die laughing.

"Pfft"

Mo Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, then, as a prank, changed the gun's attributes again.

A white light flashed, and the spirit-energy gun, whose attributes had been absurdly warped, instantly turned into a piece of junk.

It had no stats, required its own ammo, and its damage was reduced.

Watching the attributes suddenly shift, Huang Haotao nearly fainted from holding his breath.

He desperately rubbed his eyes, stammering as he pointed at the gun.

"Gone... gone?!"

His voice was choked with tears.

Anyone who saw a divine artifact turn into junk before their eyes would probably break down.

Watching Mo Ling toy with everyone, Lin An rubbed Mo Ling's head and burst out laughing.

"All right, stop messing with them."

A white light flashed, and the spirit energy gun returned to its original attribute once again.

Contaminated spirit energy gun (white, attack equipment).

Equipment attribute: none.

Equipment special effect 1: Infinite bullets; after infusing with spirit energy, it can automatically generate bullets.

Equipment special effect 2: The equipment's description can be modified; after modification, it carries no effect.

Equipment description: Contaminated spirit energy gun, retaining only the ability to generate bullets.

Equipment evaluation: Trash; this equipment inherits some fantasy ability, but limited to fantasy.

After a quick explanation, everyone looked at the broken gun on the table, dazed and disoriented, as if in a dream.

Really, for a moment, they felt the apocalypse could be ended.

Looking at the few dazed people, Lin An shook his head slightly:

All right.

Don't worry about these; the Doomsday Game won't produce such equipment.

His eyes flickered.

Lin An picked up the gun and said with interest:

But we can sell many pieces of equipment using this weapon.

Just now, if I said I wanted to sell this equipment, how much 'money' would you be willing to pay?

As soon as his words fell, Huang Haitao, dazed, hurriedly spoke up:

If it were the earlier attributes, I'd trade anything I have!

Even my life would do!

An Jing Tian nodded in deep agreement, adding:

Those earlier attributes—even if we negotiated with the capital, saying one weapon for a nuclear bomb? No! They'd trade ten nuclear bombs for one!

Everyone chattered, sighing as they discussed.

The final consensus was that, no matter how exaggerated Lin An's asking price for this weapon, they had no doubt someone would buy it.

What a joke, a divine artifact!

Just thinking about what Lin An just said...

Several people couldn't help but wear strange expressions, finally understanding why Gao Tian had that look.

Wen Ya bit her lip, her eyes flickering as she looked at Lin An.

Um, she had just asked what to do if the base had no 'money'.

Now, Lin An directly gave his answer.

No money? Then let's cheat...

This gun can definitely swindle a mountain's worth of equipment!

She'd only get a headache from receiving too much in exchange—what to do...

Looking at the bustling messages in the trading channel, there were item after item of equipment skill books, even missiles for sale.

Wen Ya couldn't help but feel a little excited.

His gaze calm, Lin An handed the gun to Wen Ya:

Those earlier attributes are a bit too exaggerated; the sharp‑minded might notice something's off.

So the specifics are up to you.

Once we merge with the Wangjiang Military Region, we'll officially auction this weapon.

Lin An thought for a moment and then added:

You can find Awakened Ones with trading ability, or Awakened Ones with duplication ability.

What's selling just one gun?!

If we're doing it, we go big!

However, when auctioning, we shouldn't use our name.

Besides, it's time to let the Huaxia War Zone know of our existence!
