Chapter 757: Su the Great Fool
The trading market was crowded, and contractors dressed in various ways walked between stalls.
"Don't block the way."
A mecha over four meters tall walked through the crowd, looking like it was relying on its huge size to rampage. A bald man sat in the cockpit.
"Scum of the mechanical side."
A girl wearing a green wizard hat dodged the mecha and gave the bald man the middle finger, her slender middle finger stirring slowly.
"Weakling of the mysterious side, were you just shouting at me?"
The bald man laughed heartily. The two seemed to have formed a grudge, but in reality, this was just a daily routine in Reincarnation Paradise. Arguments or duels in the arena were common, but forming grudges was rare, because forming a grudge over a few words wasn't worth it. There was no such thing as a keyboard warrior here; after forming a grudge, it was a life-and-death situation.
"Arena, dare you?"
The wizard hat girl turned the short staff in her hand, her slender eyebrows raised slightly. She happened to be bored, and finding someone to compete in the arena was a good choice.
"Who's afraid of whom, 200 coins per time."
The bald man was clearly also having nothing to do.
"OK."
The two walked toward the arena. It was clear that the two wouldn't form a grudge because of the previous argument. If the two were similar in strength, they might even form a temporary team.
This scene often appeared in Reincarnation Paradise. This was a lawless place. No one knew when they would die in a certain derived world, so people here wouldn't hide their thoughts or desires. If a man and a woman took a fancy to each other, it was very likely that 10 minutes later the two would be rolling in the sheets, and then go their separate ways.
Su Xiao sat behind the stall he often used. Because Paradise Coins were in short supply, he was preparing to pit people, as he sold items very affordably.
The attributes of the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor were really too dazzling. If a rookie saw the attributes of this thing, they might treat this thing as a life-saving trump card. Not to mention rookies, even Su Xiao had done so in the past, until he almost got bitten to death by an enemy after opening the arm armor's skill for the first time, he rarely used this thing.
Thinking for a moment behind the stall, the corners of Su Xiao's mouth curled up, and he removed the line wheel on the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor. On the line wheel was the Boundary Line, and this thing couldn't be sold.
Su Xiao began to price the two items to be sold. Seeing this expression, Bubu Wang beside him sighed. It knew that Su Xiao was going to pit people, and didn't know who would be unlucky.
【Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor (Purple)】, selling price 100,000 Paradise Coins.
【Hundred-Fold Proficiency (Pale Gold)】, selling price 120,000 Paradise Coins.
It was clear that the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor was priced high. As for Hundred-Fold Proficiency, this was a Pale Gold skill scroll. Even if there was a risk of becoming schizophrenic after mastering it, it was after all a Pale Gold quality item.
Pricing complete, Su Xiao began to wait for the "victim" to appear. Several contractors soon surrounded the stall.
A man in a suit picked up the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor. After checking the quality, skills, and score of this piece of equipment, he smiled and shook his head.
"90,000."
After the man in the suit quoted the price, he put the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor back in its original place.
Hearing this quote, Su Xiao looked the man in the suit up and down. The other party didn't look like a rookie at all, and he immediately understood what was going on.
"Minimum 110,000."
"Too high, the side effects of this thing, you and I both understand."
"Yes, but the quality is there."
The conversation between Su Xiao and the man in the suit made the surrounding contractors somewhat confused.
In fact, the two were not negotiating the price of the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor, but were negotiating the price of Hundred-Fold Proficiency.
"Do you intend to keep this thing as a bottom-of-the-box item? To tell you the truth, I'm selling this thing with the intention of reselling it. Without enough profit..."
The man in the suit was indeed not a rookie; he was a staff member merchant.
Su Xiao didn't want to leave Hundred-Fold Proficiency as a bottom-of-the-box item. In fact, if this thing could find a buyer, it could sell for about 110,000~130,000, but this thing was too niche.
"Minimum 100,000, otherwise no talk."
"Deal."
The man in the suit paid readily, and 100,000 Paradise Coins were credited.
Su Xiao was in a good mood. He had already prepared to leave Hundred-Fold Proficiency as a bottom-of-the-box item. What he didn't expect was to meet a merchant who liked this thing as soon as he set up the stall.
Only the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor remained on the stall. How much money this thing could finally sell for depended on how much Su Xiao could fool people.
Pedestrians in front of the stall were endless, and contractors often stopped to bargain. Many rookies took a fancy to the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor, and the price of 100,000 Paradise Coins directly persuaded them to leave. As for experienced contractors, they wouldn't spend a lot of money to buy this thing at all.
Until half an hour later, a teenager passed by the stall. The teenager wasn't alone; he was also hugging a female companion.
Su Xiao looked up at the two people stopping in front of the stall. This teenager was nine times out of ten a second-tier rookie. Most first-tier contractors couldn't afford this thing. Looking at that slightly arrogant expression, this guy's experience in Reincarnation Paradise should be smooth sailing. As for the teenager's female companion, more than 80% were staff members. There was no bloody smell on her body, her steps were messy and floating, and the look in her eyes didn't have the feeling of having experienced many battles.
A smooth-sailing contractor + a female staff member, this combination, in Su Xiao's eyes = easy to fool = sucker = a large amount of Paradise Coins.
"Brother, this thing is cheaper. Although the attached skill is powerful, the consumption of deducting 30% of health is too high, and the skill cooldown isn't very good either. I'll pay 50,000 at most."
The teenager picked up the Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor and tossed it in his hand. He clearly took a fancy to this piece of equipment.
Hearing the teenager's words, Su Xiao secretly thought, if only these were the shortcomings.
"100,000 minimum, no bargaining."
Su Xiao wasn't very enthusiastic; being too enthusiastic would only make people suspicious.
"Just a purple arm armor, 100,000? Do you think this is dark purple equipment?"
The teenager's tone was frivolous, but he didn't have the posture of getting up and leaving.
"This is equipment I replaced. If it weren't for having better equipment, I wouldn't sell this thing."
Su Xiao's left hand raised, and the light of the Pale Gold quality equipment was released.
"Pale Gold..."
The teenager's eyes went straight. Although he was a second-tier rookie, he belonged to a medium-sized adventure group. Due to special reasons, his status in that adventure group wasn't low.
"Forget it, 100,000..."
The female staff member wanted to say something but stopped. She had clearly spent more time in Reincarnation Paradise than the teenager. She was afraid of the teenager and also afraid of offending Su Xiao.
"Shut up."
The teenager's hand wandered inside the female staff member's clothes, exerting force slowly. The female staff member's breathing became obviously rapid, her brow furrowed slightly; the teenager hurt her.
"You big shots shouldn't be so stingy. Give a sincere price."
"Can."
Su Xiao looked at the female staff member, and the female staff member smiled, a very bitter smile.
"90,000."
"Heh~ you're really generous."
"Don't buy it if you don't want to. People with discerning eyes know the value of this thing."
Of course, people with discerning eyes wouldn't spend more than 60,000 Paradise Coins to buy this thing. The ability of this thing was indeed strong, but it died fast enough. After the Strength +15 state disappeared, the weakness of burning blood was too fatal.
"80,000, not a penny more."
The teenager got up, seemingly preparing to leave.
"Hey~"
Su Xiao sighed, seemingly hesitating about something, and the teenager smiled.
"Don't hesitate. You have higher-grade arm armor. Turning this thing into Paradise Coins to enhance your strength is the correct choice."
The teenager's heartbeat began to accelerate. He was a single-attribute developer, and his strength attribute was 51 points. If the strength attribute was temporarily +15, one punch would leave the enemy dead or crippled.
As for the 30% health consumption, at worst, he would open it when his health was below 50%. 30% of 50% health wasn't too much. ===== CHAPTER 758 =====
