Chapter 229: Incomplete Appraisal, Black Sword Dragon Slayer (Fifth update! Seeking...)
"Let me say this first: the things I make are definitely useful, but they will also definitely have some... effects you might not like."
As Crazy Potter spoke, Bai Cangshu noticed that his pupils were completely red, but that kind of red pupil did not give one an eerie feeling; instead, it was like a gemstone, as if magic power were flickering within.
Because every Title-level Reincarnator he had seen before basically had similar manifestations, Bai Cangshu did not pay it any mind; the other party likely also mastered some kind of element or possessed some kind of Bloodline.
Reincarnators who can live for a long time all have some resources, more or less.
Taking advantage of this eccentric Reincarnator showing off, Bai Cangshu examined the items on the other party's Stall.
【Laser Sunglasses Self-made v2】
【Quality: Rare】
【Description: A work from Alchemy Master Crazy Potter, containing peculiar Magic Power】
【Requirements: Spirit > 12, Energy > 10, possess Magic Power Adaptation】
【Effect 1: After wearing, energy cap is reduced by 30%】
【Effect 2: After wearing, abilities and items with a priority lower than this item cannot detect the wearer's Magic Power Wave】
【Effect 3: Shattering this item can unleash a powerful laser attack; attack damage is linked to wearing time and energy cap】
Bai Cangshu looked at this item, and with his way of thinking, he was momentarily confused as to whether this item was useful or useless.
An item that suppresses one's own energy, yet can only unleash damage at the cost of shattering the item—in other words, most of the time, a Reincarnator wearing this item gains a negative return.
And right now, this afro-haired man seemed to be wearing a pair of glasses with a similar appearance on his right eye.
Tsk, Bai Cangshu began to doubt Luo Xi's judgment.
While he was thinking, he took out the pitch-black Black Sword Dragon Slayer.
"Miss Luo Xi said that you are capable of performing what is called 【Incomplete Appraisal】, is that right?"
The so-called 【Incomplete Appraisal】 is actually similar to a kind of bug.
The so-called unidentified items produced by the Space are actually a type of sealed item; just as Bai Cangshu knew before, everything in the 【Infinite Dimensional Space】 is built upon 【Information】.
Whether it is a powerful item or a useless item, the difference lies in the amount of 【Information】.
And an 【Unidentified】 item actually represents the substantive meaning that the 【True Information】 of said item has not been disclosed.
【Appraisal Technique】 is less of an effect similar to appraising antiques; more accurately, it is actually an ability to 【Unlock Seal】 and 【Disclose Information】.
Finding the true information that the item belongs to and contains among the countless information in the myriad worlds—this is the mystery of the 【Appraisal Technique】 in the Space.
Therefore, it results in the quality of the appraised item rising, the usage requirements rising, and at the same time, the effects also rising (with a small probability of a decrease).
To this point, after the effect of the Space's 【Appraisal Technique】 became known to Reincarnators, some Reincarnators would also master similar abilities in various worlds and would likewise be able to appraise unidentified equipment and items.
Afterward, Reincarnators discovered a special usage.
It is to use the Reincarnators' half-baked 【Appraisal Technique】 to perform an incomplete disclosure of the 【Information】 of some powerful items.
It is similar to unsealing a portion of a powerful item's seal.
Thereby achieving the effect of still being able to use a portion of a powerful item's effects when one's own ability is insufficient.
At this moment, Bai Cangshu also wanted to utilize this bug, and according to Luo Xi, this Crazy Potter was not a half-baked user of the Appraisal Technique, but a true Magic Master with very strong Magic Power who could intentionally control the degree of completion of the appraisal.
"This is the Dragon Slayer?"
The chatterbox Crazy Potter saw this giant sword with its exaggerated design, and his eyes lit up.
He looked up and down at every part of this Dragon Slayer, then said:
"This sword isn't the one Guts has, is it? It's mixed with the aura of many different powers, and the blade has clearly slashed quite a few other things too..."
"Can you appraise it?"
【Reincarnator ga99954770 (Crazy Potter) is attempting to cast Red Magic Appraisal Technique on your item: Unidentified Ominous Greatsword. Do you accept? (Note: After appraisal, quality may rise, and usage requirements may rise)】
Crazy Potter did not even quote a price before attempting to start the appraisal, but Bai Cangshu noticed the name of the other party's appraisal technique in the Space prompt and recalled the other party's red eyes.
"Red Magic Clan?"
The Red Magic Clan is a special race in 【KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World and its Derivative Worlds】, characterized by innate powerful Magic Power and an extremely chuunibyou personality, possessing the dominant bloodline trait of red eyes.
"Tsk, half-breed, a half-breed Red Magic Clan member. Do you want to appraise it or not? Don't disturb my mood!"
Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow; he rarely encountered such a maverick fellow in the Space.
"I agree."
Red Magic Power surged rapidly, and Bai Cangshu saw the pitch-black Dragon Slayer levitate, with multiple auras erupting from it in an instant.
Pitch-black Armament Haki—that was likely the new power Guts himself had trained after entering the Infinite Dimensional Space; as a system without many qualification requirements, Armament Haki was indeed suitable for a battle-hardened warrior like Guts.
Then there was a large amount of blood-like red luster; that might be the special information accumulated by the sword itself after it had slain too many existences.
And above these two types of power, there was another layer of even more twisted power, resembling black mist, winding and twisting; even though Crazy Potter continuously urged his Magic Power, that power only radiated a little from the sword body, with the majority still remaining inside the sword.
Hum~
The intense Magic Power vanished in an instant, and Crazy Potter was already covered in sweat.
"Damn it, fxxk! Where on earth did you get this sword? It actually got involved with 【Causality】."
"Damn bad luck!"
【The attributes of your item: Unidentified Ominous Greatsword have changed】
【Black Sword Dragon Slayer】
【Quality: Rare-Extreme】
【Description: The Dragon Slayer that followed Guts on his travels through the myriad worlds, having absorbed many other powers to become a special weapon】
【Sharpness: High; Durability: Extremely High】
【Usage Requirements: Strength > 20, Constitution > 15, possess Armament Haki, Energy > 10】
【Effect 1: When holding this sword, Armament Haki will be drained; when swinging, it will also cause Haki damage】
【Effect 2: When hit by this weapon, damage-nullification type abilities are ineffective】
【Effect 3: Severed Limb; when hit by this weapon, there is a relatively high probability of causing a severed limb effect】
【Effect 4: Unknown】
【Effect 5: Unknown】
After the appraisal, this Dragon-Slaying Sword began to flow completely with pitch-black Armament Haki; Bai Cangshu gripped it and could immediately feel the Armament Haki within his own body being absorbed.
"Tao Baibai, I advise you to sell this thing; that stuff about Causality... tsk, it's untouchable."
Crazy Potter wiped his sweat and offered a reminder, only then remembering he hadn't quoted a price yet; he coughed and added,
"For this appraisal, I'll just charge you 1 D-rank Singularity; I'll waive the Dimension Points."
His price was similar to that of a space appraiser, but this was actually reasonable, because some Reincarnators sought him out specifically for Incomplete Appraisal; in a sense, this ability was even scarcer than that of a space appraiser.
Bang!
Crazy Potter's eyes twitched as he saw Tao Baibai place his left hand on his Stall; he was confused, was this a provocation?
Subsequently, a space prompt appeared, and Crazy Potter swallowed a mouthful of saliva, finding it hard to believe what he was seeing.
【xx53562211 (Tao Baibai) has shown you Biological Colonization Arm King's Left Arm】
"Mr. Crazy Potter, I think we need to sign a Contract."
Potter nodded repeatedly; that was a special request that only occurred when an item of extremely high value appeared.
"Sign it, sign it quickly, I can't wait to see such a treasure... heh..."
