Chapter 499

"Don't be nervous, make an offer."

Su Xiao stared at the cross-dresser in front of him, his gaze seeming to say: 'If you don't buy it, I'll kill you.'

"Um..."

The cross-dresser swallowed, his mood gradually calming down. Su Xiao's previous gaze had been a bit chilling, making him forget that he was currently in Reincarnation Paradise, a safe zone.

Su Xiao had just come out of the Trial World, so having such a gaze was perfectly normal.

"80,000 Paradise Coins?"

The cross-dresser tentatively offered.

"Minimum 180,000."

The value of 【Burning Demon Heart】 wasn't high. If using it could directly grant a demon bloodline, let alone 180,000, it could easily sell for 800,000.

Unfortunately, this was just a ticket. After entering the Demon Modification Institute, one still needed to pay benefits to trade with the demon modification master there, and one also had to understand Demon Language. This point alone excluded over 90% of Contractors.

As a Lord-level treasure chest, the Demon Box wasn't incapable of yielding good items, but Su Xiao's luck was bad—a helpless and desperate situation.

Things had reached this point, and there was no other way. Complaining wouldn't solve the problem; selling the 【Burning Demon Heart】 as soon as possible was the important thing.

"180,000..."

The cross-dresser looked troubled.

"How about 120,000?"

"Deal!"

Su Xiao agreed immediately, and the cross-dresser was stunned.

"Let's trade."

Su Xiao handed over the Burning Demon Heart with an expression that said he would kill the cross-dresser if he backed out. The cross-dresser felt a bit awkward; he always felt he had bought it too expensively.

"Do you understand Demon Language?"

Su Xiao looked at the cross-dresser.

"I understand some."

"Then you've earned it. Demon bloodlines are very strong."

"Really?"

"Yeah, at least the demon I fought was very strong."

The cross-dresser hesitated for a moment and finally spent 120,000 Paradise Coins to buy the Demon Heart.

On the way back to his exclusive room, the little cross-dresser thought the more he felt something was wrong. That person had said demon bloodlines were strong, so where did this heart come from? A Demon Heart was, of course, a demon's heart, so that meant...

Just as the cross-dresser was about to enter his exclusive room, a beautiful figure walked toward him and suddenly patted him on the shoulder. The cross-dresser, lost in thought, screamed in fright.

"Tea... Team Leader, you scared me to death."

Seeing the cross-dresser's timid appearance, his Team Leader smiled and shook her head.

Don't look at the cross-dresser as being very soft now, but when he drew the long sword at his waist, his personality would change drastically. The cross-dresser had once killed 32 Contractors in a row in a Derived World.

"What are you holding?"

The female Team Leader looked at the Demon Heart in the cross-dresser's hand.

"Good stuff."

The cross-dresser showed two little fangs, displaying the attributes of the burning heart.

"This thing..."

The female Team Leader's expression changed: "Can you return it?"

Hearing the female Team Leader's words, the cross-dresser recalled the blood-soaked buyer.

"Seems... not."

The female Team Leader's expression became even worse.

"Then I can only wish you good luck. I've heard of the Demon Modification Institute; the modification survival rate is only 60%. However, demon bloodlines are indeed very strong; it's a very complete power system. But the modification fee is exorbitant, probably around 600,000 Paradise Coins, and you also have to exchange these Paradise Coins for Soul Crystals (Medium). Those demons only accept Soul Crystals."

Just as Su Xiao had guessed, the Demon Heart was just a ticket; the modification fee was the main event.

"600,000..."

The cross-dresser was completely stunned. Even if he had 600,000 Paradise Coins, Soul Crystals (Medium) were too hard to buy.

"Team resources can be tilted toward you a bit, but don't even think about Soul Crystals. We can probably provide you with 400,000 Paradise Coins; you'll only be able to eat dirt for the next three Derived Worlds."

Hearing the female Team Leader's words, the cross-dresser looked at the Demon Heart in his hand. This item seemed to be stuck in his hands.

"Bastard~"

The cross-dresser finally knew why that person had shown an expression that said he would kill him if he didn't buy it.

Sitting in front of the stall, Su Xiao looked at the 166,000 Paradise Coins in his Reincarnation Mark, feeling great.

That Demon Heart had nearly been stuck in his hands. It wasn't that the item had no value, but the upfront investment was too high, which would affect his development for a period of time.

Su Xiao didn't leave the Trading Market immediately. He planned to do a 'big business', which was to mass-produce intermediate alchemy bombs for sale.

The cost of each intermediate alchemy bomb was 100 Paradise Coins + 30 Mana points. Paradise Coins were plentiful, and Mana was also at full value, reaching 1,433 points, enough to produce a total of 47 intermediate alchemy bombs.

Light flickered in his hand as one intermediate alchemy bomb after another was produced.

As for why he chose intermediate alchemy bombs instead of 'special-grade alchemy bombs' or 'special-grade alchemy potions', it was because the cost of intermediate alchemy bombs was low, the profit was high, and they were easy to sell.

A long time later, Su Xiao spent 4,700 Paradise Coins and 1,410 Mana points to produce a total of 47 intermediate alchemy bombs.

After several previous attempts, a selling price of 350 points each was the most appropriate; they sold quickly, and few people bargained.

With a cost of 100 Paradise Coins and a net profit of 250 points, this business could be called a steady profit without loss.

The stall opened again, and this time there was a pile of intermediate alchemy bombs on the stall.

Contractors stopped by the stall from time to time, and the number of alchemy bombs decreased rapidly.

【Sold intermediate alchemy bomb x3, obtained 1,050 Paradise Coins.】

【Sold intermediate alchemy bomb x1, obtained 350 Paradise Coins.】

【Sold intermediate alchemy bomb x6, obtained 2,100 Paradise Coins.】

Just as expected, intermediate alchemy bombs were very popular, and few Contractors bargained. Even if someone bargained, after finding that Su Xiao didn't negotiate, they would buy after hesitating for a moment.

In less than an hour, 32 of the 47 intermediate alchemy bombs were sold, with 15 remaining.

A brute passed by the stall, and after carefully checking the attributes of the intermediate alchemy bombs, he bought all the intermediate alchemy bombs on the stall.

All 47 were sold out. The cost was 4,700 Paradise Coins, the total selling price was 16,450 Paradise Coins, and the net profit was 11,750 Paradise Coins.

No need to fight, no need to take risks, and 11,750 Paradise Coins in hand—this was undoubtedly something that made one feel happy.

Closing the stall, Su Xiao walked toward his exclusive room.

All three main attributes had reached 50 points, and Su Xiao had thirteen Soul Crystals (Medium) in total; he could unlock a new skill for the Shadow of the Law Destroyer.

The prerequisites for unlocking new skills this time were very high, so the new ability should be very strong.

Su Xiao's pace couldn't help but quicken. Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao sat on the sofa.

Snap.

The sofa suddenly sank, Su Xiao's feet lifted, and his butt sank into the sofa. He subconsciously looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked innocent.

"Woof woof, ow~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was so anxious it was almost speaking human language, but unfortunately, it couldn't speak.

Su Xiao stood up and looked at the sofa, which looked intact on the outside but had been hollowed out in the center.

"How did you do it? I won't beat you if you cover it up again."

A size 45 large slipper appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's hind legs began to tremble, and its butt felt a faint pain; it seemed it hadn't been beaten lightly by this large slipper.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at Su Xiao pitifully, as if saying: 'Master, it really wasn't me.'

It had to be said that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was now all acting, its expression very on point; it could be called explosive acting.

"If you didn't chew it, did I chew it?"

Su Xiao pointed to a row of tooth marks in the center of the sofa, which were identical to the tooth marks on the barbell nearby.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes were full of regret; it hadn't noticed those tooth marks, otherwise, it would have definitely destroyed them.

With the slipper slapping his palm, Su Xiao slowly approached Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Five minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was squatting in front of the sofa with a slipper on its head, repenting, while Su Xiao sat on the bed to unlock the new ability.

【Three main attributes have reached 50 points; requirements for unlocking new skill met.】

【Do you wish to unlock the new Shadow of the Law Destroyer skill? Unlocking the new skill requires 20,000 Paradise Coins + Soul Crystal (Medium) x10.】
