Chapter 2894: Unexpected Harvest
【Eye of All Gods】 had a much higher detection tier than 【Apostle's Eye】, which was enough for Su Xiao to use at the current stage.
Su Xiao had never thought about Immortal grade detection-type equipment. Even if Shadow Chamber of Commerce really had it, he wouldn't buy it. It was too expensive.
Ultimately, detection-type equipment was only an auxiliary means. Even if he detected 100% of the enemy's data, if he couldn't beat the enemy, it had no meaning.
Or rather, even if Su Xiao used Immortal grade detection equipment, it would be very difficult to detect 100% of a strong enemy's data, unless he acquired perception-type abilities and invested resources into them.
Su Xiao couldn't develop detection-type abilities, as the input and return were not proportional, so he chose to use detection-type equipment to make up for this. Being able to detect 60%–70% of the enemy's data was enough for him. The enemy's remaining abilities could be tested in battle.
Putting down the Eye of All Gods, Su Xiao's expression didn't change much, and he asked:
"This equipment's detection ability is very good, but it doesn't have a warning characteristic. I need the warning ability attached to the detection-type state."
Su Xiao was actually very satisfied with the Eye of All Gods. As for warning, Xiang Bubu Wang and Bahar were both very good at it, but he wouldn't say it clearly. No matter what, Shadow Chamber of Commerce couldn't escape the essence of a merchant. If he was detected by Shadow No. 6 that he was very satisfied with this equipment, the other party would significantly raise the price. After all, detection-type equipment was never worried about being sold.
"Other intelligence-characteristic detection-type equipment, there is no such product in the inventory for the time being. One price, 5000 Soul Coins."
Shadow No. 6's quote wasn't a sky-high price, but it was definitely not low. An Origin Stone was only 5500–6000 Soul Coins. As a Holy Spirit grade piece of equipment, the price of the Eye of All Gods actually reached 5000 Soul Coins, which was equivalent to a piece of Immortal grade equipment with a medium rating.
Unfortunately, detection-type equipment was too rare. No, it should be said that intelligence-characteristic detection equipment was too rare.
97% or more of detection-type equipment were all Charisma-characteristic, mostly brooches, earrings, gemstone rings, etc. The price of Charisma-characteristic Holy Spirit grade detection-type equipment was between 400 and 600 Soul Coins, which was expensive, but not as exaggerated as intelligence-characteristic ones.
After preliminary bargaining, Su Xiao bought 【Eye of All Gods】 for 4700 Soul Coins.
"Bai Ye-san, do you have any other needs?"
"Basic Passive scroll, Stronger Residual Glow, Overlord Essence, World Core · Fragment..."
Su Xiao reported several items in succession. He wanted to test the strength of Shadow Chamber of Commerce.
"Basic Passive scrolls are hard to handle. We don't contact many low-tier Qiyuezhe. Bai Ye-san, you pre-ordering this thing from us is not as good as contacting large adventurer groups with strength. Among all groups, they contact the most low-tier Qiyuezhe.
Overlord Essence is also hard to handle. Very few people are willing to sell this thing. We have a way for Stronger Residual Glow, but it needs time. This thing is both rare and hard to sell. The pricing is 1200 Soul Coins each. As for World Core · Fragment, this thing is even rarer. Its purpose is temporarily unknown. The market price is 300 Soul Coins per piece."
Hearing Shadow No. 6's words, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect World Core · Fragment to be so cheap. This thing helped the Black Maple Tree grow, and the more the better.
"If Bai Ye-san is interested in World Core · Fragment, we will help you keep an eye on it. As for the price... 350 Soul Coins each? Don't hold too much hope. Although everyone doesn't know what this thing is used for, most people are willing to use this thing to press the bottom of the box. After all, its market price is only worth 300 Soul Coins."
Shadow No. 6 smiled and shook his head. A long time ago, their chamber of commerce thought that World Core · Fragment had a huge secret. They invested resources worth tens of thousands of Soul Coins to study it, but the result was very poor. They still didn't know the purpose of World Core · Fragment.
In fact, Su Xiao didn't know the purpose of World Core · Fragment either. For him, apart from being able to make the Black Maple Tree grow faster, it had no other purpose.
In reality, Su Xiao also didn't know what use the World Core Fragment had. To him, other than allowing the Black Maple Tree to grow faster, this thing had no other use.
After negotiating for a while, the transaction between Su Xiao and Shadow Chamber of Commerce ended. Shadow No. 6 needed three hours to contact someone. That person had 3 【Stronger Residual Glows】, and Su Xiao only needed 2 of them.
Money can make the devil push the mill. As long as the Soul Coins were sufficient, plus the channels were wide, most of the items Su Xiao needed could be bought with Soul Coins.
He now had 1 【Stronger Residual Glow】. As long as he gathered 3 of them, he could use this thing to activate the Sixth Layer of the Land of All Living Things. Developing and perfecting sword technique moves in the Sixth Layer was not something that could be compared to the Fifth Layer.
The expenditure was high. Su Xiao looked at the remaining stay time in the Samsara Paradise and chose to spend 1920 Soul Coins to purchase the usage permission for the Sixth Layer of the Land of All Living Things for 32 hours.
The space array under Su Xiao's feet lit up. The next moment, he was already standing on an ice field.
The ice field was as bright as a mirror. Looking down along the transparent cold ice, one could see soul crystals the size of millstones. These soul crystals couldn't be dug out; he had tried last time.
Su Xiao grasped the sword hilt at his waist. As soon as he drew his sword, transparent phantoms that were exactly the same as his appearance and aura appeared around him.
These phantoms were all constructed from the energy of soul crystals. This was the reason why the usage fee for the Sixth Layer of the Land of All Living Things was expensive.
'Blade Dao Sword · Flow.'
Su Xiao slashed out with one sword. Thousands of transparent phantoms around him all slashed out 'Flow'. After slashing out 'Flow', these phantoms all shattered and surged toward Su Xiao from around.
Su Xiao closed his eyes. He felt as if he had slashed out 'Blade Dao Sword · Flow' thousands of times. The efficiency improvement of this kind of cultivation didn't put much burden on his own body. This was the power of the Sixth Layer of the Land of All Living Things.
Hard cultivation began. Su Xiao soon immersed himself in it. When he stopped hard cultivation, he was already on the second floor of the accessory shop in the real world.
【Prompt: You have returned to the real world.】
After taking a shower, Su Xiao lay on the small bed. He didn't even want to move a finger. After returning to the real world, resting + relaxing the mind was enough.
Looking at the warning device on the wall, this thing seemed to have broken. The warning light flashed occasionally, which was obviously broken, but Su Xiao didn't need this thing anymore.
Unknowingly, Su Xiao fell asleep, and the night also quietly rewarded.
The clock on the wall jumped second by second. At three o'clock in the morning in the second half of the night, in the darkness, Su Xiao sat up from the bed and looked at the window facing the backyard. Bahar landed on the head of the bed, and Xiang Bubu Wang sat beside the bed. Three pairs of eyes were all looking at the window 9 meters away. Someone was approaching, but there was no hostility. This was very strange. Otherwise, Bahar would have already found the other party.
An 'unidentified visitor' was approaching. Su Xiao couldn't figure out the purpose of this 'visitor' coming here.
A figure in black leather tight clothing, with a curvy figure, climbed in from the window, stepped on the ground silently, came to the tea table, picked up the laptop on it, and then picked up the half-stack of banknotes that Su Xiao had thrown on the tea table a month ago.
Su Xiao felt somewhat surprised in his heart. A thief had actually entered his house. Bahar and Xiang Bubu Wang beside him were both confused. After all, it was their first time experiencing this kind of thing, and they had no experience. ===== CHAPTER 2897 =====
Intelligence: 27
Charisma: 45
Skill 1, Steel Body Iron Feathers (Passive, lv. 67): HP +7500 points, Mana +5500 points, Feather Armor +52 points.
Skill 2, Magic Eagle of the Void (Bloodline Skill, lv. 72): Baha can perform spatial travel, consuming 30–400 mana points each time (depending on distance). This ability has no cooldown, but requires bearing the burden of physical stamina consumption.
Hint: Each time spatial travel is performed, Baha's next attack will carry 750 points of spatial-characteristic damage that ignores physical defense.
Skill 3, Backstab (Passive, lv. 65): If Baha launches a surprise attack from an enemy's back, it will deal True Damage equal to Agility x2.8 (551 points of True Damage) + base damage + 530 points of True Poison damage.
Skill 4, Ferocious (Passive, lv. 65): Baha's sharp claws, due to long-term tempering, have acquired powerful penetration and tearing force. Relying on the power of flapping its wings, its instantaneous explosive power can significantly exceed its own Strength attribute limit.
Hint: Each time it overloads penetration and tears an enemy's body, Baha's flight speed will be reduced by 20% for the following 10 seconds.
Skill 5, Poison Shadow (Ultimate Skill · Passive/Active, lv. 23): Due to the creator's ability characteristics, Baha has received partial bonuses. Its body contains growth-type biological energy poison; each attack can deal 530 points of True Poison-attribute damage to the enemy.
Hint: Baha can inject all the poison into the enemy's body at once, dealing up to 6800 points of True Poison damage, after which Baha will be weakened for 1–5 seconds...
Poison Shadow's current additional characteristics: Lethal, Paralysis, True Damage.
Skill 6, Magic Eagle Domain (Ultimate Skill · Growth Type, lv. 42): Baha possesses six Space Feathers. When it fully 'unfolds' its wings, all six Space Feathers will shatter, interrupting/sealing all Tier 8 spatial abilities within a 1000-meter radius. The effect lasts for 5 minutes.
Hint: After activating Magic Eagle Domain, if the enemy uses spatial-type items or equipment, the items and equipment used will immediately shatter. The drifting spatial energy will be absorbed by Baha, thereby enhancing its Void Bloodline.
Hint: After the Space Feathers shatter, it requires 9 natural days to recover.
Multiple potential activations have allowed Baha to possess three True attributes. As for Intelligence and Charisma attributes, there is little hope; Baha's 27 points of Intelligence attribute indicate that its growth potential is not in this aspect.
Don't look at Baha as being like a sand sculpture usually; in battle, Baha is extremely ferocious. Aside from Poison Shadow, it has no other active lethal abilities. Each of its attacks carries several types of damage judgments; that pile of passives is very much in the style of Su Xiao's follower.
Su Xiao checked the data of Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Benny again. Because they undergo potential activation every time they return to Reincarnation Paradise, and Su Xiao is a four-True-attribute development with very high attributes, this gives Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny a probability of converting their own Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence attributes into True attributes during potential activation, provided that these attributes are above 80 points.
Su Xiao discovered that the 【Triumphant Badge】 actually had nowhere to be used; selling it became the better choice.
For the buyer of this thing, Su Xiao thought of two people immediately: Chen and Solomon. One is an all-elemental mage, the other is a mage + necromancer type. Although they are both a bit poor, this doesn't mean they don't have good things hidden at the bottom of their boxes.
Su Xiao first contacted Chen. Chen's reply was that he couldn't afford it, but he was willing to buy this thing if he could take out a loan for a few worlds, during which he could use high-value items as collateral.
Ignoring him, Su Xiao contacted Solomon. Ten seconds later, Solomon replied with content stating that Solomon is a four-attribute development and doesn't need the 【Triumphant Badge】, but for some reason, Solomon's words were somewhat unusual.
Solomon: "There is a matter... I want to discuss."
Bai Ye: "1000 at most, 10% interest repayment in the next world progress."
Solomon: "Thanks, use this as collateral, (Attached: World Core Fragment x2, Attached: Contract x1)."
Bai Ye: "No need to return the Soul Coins."
Solomon: "?"
Su Xiao took 2 World Core Fragments out of the mail. The 【Triumphant Badge】 wasn't sold, but there was an extra harvest.
Su Xiao walked toward the huge room where the Black Maple Tree was located. Before he even pushed the door open, Solomon's mail came again.
Solomon: "Bai Ye, are you willing to acquire World Core Fragments for 500 Soul Coins each?"
Bai Ye: "Hmm."
Solomon: "Deal (Attached: World Core Fragment x3)."
Bai Ye: "... (Attached: 1500 Soul Coins)."
Su Xiao took another 3 World Core Fragments out of the mail. Through these 5 World Core Fragments, Su Xiao felt how poor Solomon was.
That guy probably wouldn't sell anything except his summons and equipment; he would sell whatever he could. The reason he didn't sell the World Core Fragments was because this thing had high prestige, and one piece was only worth 300 Soul Coins.
As for World Core Fragments, Su Xiao would buy as many as he could. This thing could assist the Black Maple Tree's growth. The taller the Black Maple Tree, the more it would produce. By the time the Black Maple Tree grew to over ten meters tall, the current investment would be nothing at all.
The good news at this time was that not only was Solomon willing to sell World Core Fragments, but he also had several necromancer friends who were also willing to sell. The reason these necromancers had contact was so that when one of them was poor to the point of dizziness, they could help each other out, at least enough to cover 'meal money'.
Please don't laugh; a necromancer's meal money isn't as simple as just feeding themselves. Every necromancer has several permanent summons that follow them constantly. Feeding these necromantic summons is not a simple matter.
Solomon's meaning was that his friends were also willing to sell World Core Fragments, but the price must be 500 Soul Coins per piece, not a single Soul Coin less. Solomon's friends emphasized this point.
