Chapter 2310

In the end, the fake-smiling man reached a deal with Su Xiao for the price of 【Hunting Ring】 + 107 7th-tier Soul Coins.

The fake-smiling man wasn't after the 【Sky Meteorite Disaster】 equipment; he wanted the +14 enhancement level. The 【Hunting Ring】 he paid was in exchange for the +14 enhancement level to use as a gimmick for a certain auction. Aside from the enhancement level, 【Sky Meteorite Disaster】 was only worth this much. Ultimately, it had been modified into a mining shovel, and basically no one in Reincarnation Paradise mines.

According to the trading market conditions Benny knew, at high tiers, whether it's a chamber of commerce, an adventure group, or a lone wolf, everyone likes to trade using 7th-tier Soul Coins. The prices are as follows.

Legendary-grade equipment or items, 3–6 Soul Coins (7th-tier).

Epic-grade equipment or items, 15–19 Soul Coins (7th-tier).

Holy Spirit-grade equipment or items, 50–120 Soul Coins (7th-tier).

This price is just a reference; some equipment with high enhancements or multiple inlaid gems will break the limit of quality pricing.

One Soul Coin can be exchanged for 150,000 Paradise Coins through Reincarnation Paradise. It cannot be exchanged while inside a world; it can only be exchanged after returning to Reincarnation Paradise.

If you sell Soul Coins (7th-tier) to a chamber of commerce or a high-tier contractor, the price is 151,372 Paradise Coins. This price only goes up, not down, after all, Reincarnation Paradise maintains a floor price where one Soul Coin equals 150,000 Paradise Coins.

After completing the 【Sky Meteorite Disaster】 transaction with the fake-smiling man, the Doom was also sold. This thing was a ticking time bomb. If it weren't for the hint about the 'Sea' obtained from Violent Rat back then, Su Xiao would never have chosen this thing.

The fake-smiling man belonged to the type of merchant who accepts all comers. His original words were that he didn't use the Doom himself, but there would always be someone who felt they were the 'protagonist' who could withstand the curse of the Demon Sea, not only turning danger into safety but also obtaining some kind of miracle.

The fake-smiling man offered 30 Soul Coins, implicitly treating the Doom as an item between Epic and Holy Spirit grade. In reality, the Doom absolutely belonged to the Holy Spirit-grade.

Su Xiao agreed to the price of 30 Soul Coins, which made the fake-smiling man feel a bit of trepidation. In his view, someone who could produce equipment like 【Sky Meteorite Disaster】 certainly wouldn't be weak.

Su Xiao now had a total of 322 Soul Coins (7th-tier), including what he had left over, what he obtained from this transaction, and the Soul Coins obtained from selling 【Soul Refining of the Angry Sea】.

【Soul Refining of the Angry Sea】 could never be sold to a contractor. As for returning to the Viking Sea through the Gate Technique, it was a huge loss. The Ancient God big boss of that world had already been slaughtered by Su Xiao, and the benefits that could be scavenged had shrunk significantly. Entering a world specifically for a 'Soul Refining' was not worth it.

【Soul Refining of the Angry Sea】 was not an extremely rare item; on the Viking Sea, there was an opportunity for Soul Refining every dozen years or so.

Holding so many Soul Coins, if he encountered suitable Holy Spirit-grade equipment, Su Xiao certainly wouldn't hesitate.

Keeping the Soul Coins was also fine; after killing high-tier big bosses, he could exchange them for more kill rewards.

Su Xiao looked at the metal bracelet in his hand. This bracelet looked ordinary, and on its outer ring, there were eight grooves.

The reason Su Xiao wanted to reach a deal with the fake-smiling man was for this special piece of equipment called 【Hunting Ring】.

Benny had found many buyers, and most of their offers were higher than the fake-smiling man's, but they couldn't produce equipment or props similar to 【Hunting Ring】.

Su Xiao wanted to use 【Hunting Ring】 to strip gems from Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. The four Soul-Severing Shadow Stones · Incomplete must not be damaged.

The seven gems currently inlaid on Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, the highest quality one was Epic-grade, and the others were Legendary-grade, all of which had to be phased out.

Safely stripping the gems above and replacing them with Holy Spirit-grade gems would significantly increase Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's attributes.

The combined attributes of the four Soul-Severing Shadow Stones didn't provide as much sharpness as a single Flowing God gem, but considering the Soul-Severing Shadow Stones were only Legendary-grade and were Power Inheritance Stones, the gap was acceptable.

As for Spirit Cat (Legendary-grade) and Moon Wind (Epic-grade), just forcibly strip them.

Su Xiao sat behind the stall and unbuckled Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist. At the end of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's handle, a circle of rice-grain-sized gems was inlaid, seven in total. Because of the inlay position, these seven gems had become very small.

Pressing 【Hunting Ring】 against the end of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao received a hint.

【Yes/No to consume Soul Crystal (Large) x1 to perform gem plundering?】

Su Xiao took out five Soul Crystals (Large) and began the gem stripping process.

【You have consumed Soul Crystal (Large) x1.】

【'Soul-Severing Shadow Stone · Incomplete' has been safely stripped and inlaid into the special equipment 'Hunting Ring'.】

【You have consumed Soul Crystal (Large) x1.】

【'Soul-Severing Shadow Stone · Incomplete' has been safely stripped and inlaid into the special equipment 'Hunting Ring'...

The four 'Soul-Severing Shadow Stones · Incomplete' were stripped very smoothly. After consuming more Soul Crystals (Large), Su Xiao also stripped the Elegy gem.

Su Xiao put away 【Hunting Ring】 and hooked his fingers onto the Spirit Cat gem.

With two cracks, both the Spirit Cat and Moon Wind gems shattered during the forced stripping. Gems aren't fragile, but forced stripping counts as a check; if the check fails, the gem shatters directly.

All gems were successfully stripped. This time, Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan could inlay Holy Spirit-grade gems. Only three Holy Spirit-grade gems could be inlaid.

Su Xiao spent 400,000 Paradise Coins to repair the four inlay slots at the end of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, leaving only three symmetrical inlay slots. If you aren't inlaying gems, it's best not to open slots; this was a piece of advice from Reed once.

Su Xiao didn't intend to enhance Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan to +13; the risk was too high. Currently, Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's enhancement level was +12, which was already very strong at this stage.

After Su Xiao won the Strongest Contest, he obtained the 【Proof of Triumph】. After using this scroll on equipment, the success rate for enhancement from +1 to +13 is 100%.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's current level is +12. Even if he tried his luck to push for +13 while retaining the Elegy gem, the success rate would be very low.

Even with the 【Proof of Triumph】 as a guarantee, after Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's enhancement level is cleared, he could enhance Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan to +13, but doing so would be a waste of resources.

Su Xiao could completely use the 【Proof of Triumph】 to enhance other equipment. In this way, he would retain Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's +12 enhancement level while also obtaining another +13 piece of equipment, which would increase his combat power even more.

When Su Xiao previously enhanced Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, even +1 enhancement levels had been reset to 0. He didn't believe he could rely on luck to raise Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan from +12 to +13 without any item bonuses. Some things cannot rely solely on luck.

All the resources he obtained were earned by risking his life, so there must absolutely be no waste of resources.

Leaving the trading market, Su Xiao headed straight for the Equipment Enhancement Hall. As soon as he walked into the Equipment Enhancement Hall, he saw three familiar figures beating up an equipment enhancement machine.

"Ura, Ura, Ura!"

"Crow sits on a plane."

"Eat shit, you piece of junk! Uppercut, leave nothing behind!"

Inside the Equipment Enhancement Hall, a group of people were watching. The three people inside were attacking an equipment enhancement machine. Such joy, of course, belonged to the three National Football brothers.
