Chapter 20: Transaction completed, Light Spirit Feather and blueprints in hand!

"Supernatural materials or shelter blueprints…"

After hearing Su Hao's words, everyone around looked troubled.

Those participating in this trade fair, whether human or other races, had only just encountered the strange, and the resources they could obtain were very limited.

Whether it was supernatural materials or shelter blueprints, most of them had never seen them, let alone bring them out to trade.

After a moment of silence, a dwarf squeezed out of the crowd, his eyes burning as he glanced at the sharp short blade.

Then he took out a blue feather, slammed it heavily on the table, pointed at the sharp short blade still in Hua Yao's hand, then pointed at the blue feather, and said something Su Hao couldn't understand.

However, his meaning was clear: he obviously wanted to trade this feather for Su Hao's sharp short blade.

Su Hao did not immediately answer; instead, he slightly focused his thoughts, using the Item Appraisal Technique on the blue feather—as long as the feather wasn't too worthless a supernatural material, he would choose to trade.

After all, the sharp short blade's cost was merely an ordinary kitchen knife and a whetstone, taken from someone else's home; rounding up, it was essentially costless.

Exchanging something costless for a supernatural material is a real profit without loss.

【Light Spirit Feather】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: Wearing the Light Spirit Feather makes the bearer's body lighter and movements more agile.

…

"Not bad!"

Su Hao raised his eyebrows slightly; something that could increase his action speed was something he currently needed.

To prevent being robbed at home and to give the little girl a companion, unless special circumstances, Su Hao would still go out alone like today, leaving Da Xiong Mao to guard the shelter.

Without Da Xiong Mao as transport, Su Hao would need to spend more time on the road.

Having a Light Spirit Feather, a supernatural item that increases movement speed, would reduce travel time and speed up exploration progress.

If we further synthesize the Light Spirit Feather, the effect would surely be even better.

Moreover, agility enhances one's combat power, making it easier to dodge enemy attacks; combined with the recovery ability of a flesh controller, safety is further assured.

Therefore, Su Hao is very satisfied with the Light Spirit Feather.

"But…"

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Su Hao was about to agree to trade the Light Spirit Feather for the sharp short blade, Hua Yao suddenly shouted, interrupting him.

"I also want this sharp short blade; can you accept this instead?"

Speaking, Hua Yao took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Su Hao.

【Water Purification Device Blueprint】

Materials required for construction: coal×100, gauze×100, plastic×100, glass×50, Purifying Water Stone×5, supernatural materials×5.

Once the materials are ready, place the blueprint together with them into the Construction Platform to complete the build.

Introduction: The Water Purification Device can filter impurities and ominous curses from fresh water, providing pure water resources.

…

"I didn't expect to see a Water Purification Device blueprint here."

Looking at the content on the blueprint, Su Hao blinked slightly, showing surprise.

The Water Purification Device is an essential structure in the apocalypse; only by building it can the water problem be solved.

At the onset of the apocalypse, the water problem was not yet severe.

But as time passed, after about a week, basically in dangerous areas like the Dark Forest, all water sources were affected to varying degrees, infected with ominous curses, becoming undrinkable directly.

Water infected with such ominous curses must be purified by the Water Purification Device before it can be safely drunk; otherwise, there is a risk of corruption.

Therefore, to survive in the apocalypse, the Water Purification Device is a necessary structure.

Being able to see the Water Purification Device's blueprint at this trade fair is indeed a pleasant surprise.

Then a new problem arose: Su Hao wanted the Water Purification Device blueprint and also wanted the Light Spirit Feather, but there was only one sharp short blade.

"Hmm… what if we trade the serrated short blade? I can just make another one myself tomorrow."

Su Hao stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

This scene fell into the eyes of the dwarf and Hua Yao, making their expressions tense.

They realized Su Hao was somewhat tempted by both the blueprint and the Light Spirit Feather, but since there was only one sharp short blade, only one person could obtain it.

Hua Yao wanted the sharp short blade as a handy weapon for self-defense.

The dwarf wanted the sharp short blade for its craftsmanship; if he learned the forging technique, the dwarves' forging skill would reach a new height!

At least he had never heard of a non-supernatural weapon achieving such sharpness.

Moreover, all he had on him was this Light Spirit Feather as supernatural material; the rest were ordinary junk—what qualification did he have to trade such trash for this exquisite artwork of a sharp short blade?

After a brief moment of thought, he went to Hua Yao's side and said solemnly:

"Flower Spirit Elf Clan's young lady, if you let me have the sharp short blade, in a few days I'll give you a set of full-body armor suitable for Flower Spirit Elves as repayment, and your blueprint can also be traded for a toxic dagger."

The dwarves' personalities are straightforward; they say what they mean, so he straightforwardly proposed his terms.

Since we can't raise the price, we just need to figure out how to settle with this trading partner.

"Full-body armor…"

Hua Yao looked at the sharp short blade in her hand, then at the toxic dagger on the table, pondered briefly, and nodded firmly.

"Good! I accept your terms, but I need to tell Su Hao about this and see what he says."

"That's appropriate; also, help me ask the big shot if I can add a contact method."

"Sure, I can ask for you, but I won't know whether he agrees."

Immediately, Hua Yao placed the sharp short blade on the table and repeated to Su Hao exactly what the dwarf and she had said.

"This is your own matter; as long as you decide, it's fine."

Su Hao smiled faintly, not caring about Hua Yao and the dwarf's private transaction, and had no intention of raising the price.

He is not a greedy person; the sharp short dagger and the poisonous dagger are both things picked up for free, being able to trade for a light spirit feather and the blueprint of a water purification device is already a pleasant surprise.

After confirming the trading partner, Su Hao put away the blueprint of the water purification device and the light spirit feather, then handed the sharp short dagger and the poisonous dagger to the dwarf and Hua Yao respectively, and also added them as friends.

In my previous life, the reputations of the flower elves and dwarves were not bad; perhaps there will be more opportunities for contact in the future.

After trading the two most valuable weapons, next up were the ten bottles of healing potion.

These ten bottles of healing potion can be traded for as long as one has basic materials, and since they can be traded separately, this gives everyone a chance to trade, making the competition more intense.

In the end, for the ten bottles of healing potion, Su Hao altogether traded for 2 energy crystals, 500 units of charcoal, 2000 units of wood, 1500 units of stone, and 300 units of iron ore—quite a bountiful harvest!

Of course, those who obtained the healing potion were also very satisfied, gaining a bit more confidence for their future journey into the dark forest; it was a win-win.

"Enemy attack!"

Just then, the guard responsible for patrolling at the village entrance suddenly let out a cry of alarm.
