Chapter 1660: Brat

The idea of creating 10 Apollos is very tempting, but each Apollo is costly to manufacture. Paradise coins and Soul Crystals are not an issue, but each Apollo consumes 1000 points of Mana Value, which is indeed a significant consumption.

While Su Xiao was weighing how to maximize his combat effectiveness, a message came from Bennie, saying someone wanted to buy [Jungle Hunting].

Seeing this message, Su Xiao was quite surprised. This legendary accessory had been stored for a long time. Its attributes leaned towards the Summoning Type as well as the Assassination Type, making it neither high nor low value. Therefore, even at legendary quality, no Contractor was willing to bid for it.

‘590,000 Paradise coins.’

This price is very low for legendary equipment, but Su Xiao hesitated. Keeping [Jungle Hunting] in the storage space would only be useful for equipment synthesis, otherwise, it’s just for display.

‘The buyer is hesitant.’

Bennie sent another message urging him. This time Su Xiao didn’t hesitate any longer and instructed Bennie to sell [Jungle Hunting]. It was incredibly difficult to sell, and he would soon enter the Black Abyss, needing to improve his combat power as much as possible.

The transaction on Bennie’s side went smoothly, with 590,000 Paradise coins successfully deposited. Su Xiao’s remaining Paradise coins reached 1.66 million, which allowed him to do many things.

Leaving the exclusive room, Su Xiao began to wander around the trading market, both to wait for his Mana Value to recover and to fulfill a certain promise.

After wandering for several hours, Su Xiao still hadn’t found what he was looking for. That item was rare, and he anticipated that outcome early on.

Having gained nothing, Su Xiao contacted the God Emperor Adventure Group, but the result was not optimistic. Not just the God Emperor, but Black Merchant, Red Maple, and even the Fifth-tier Adventure Group, Parasol Tree, didn’t have the item Su Xiao wanted. He also contacted people from Mingmen and the group’s Vini, but still came up empty-handed.

It wasn’t that the item was so precious, but because its place of origin was scarce, and it was a consumable. When Contractors obtained this item, most used it as a World Key.

While Su Xiao was frowning, an unexpected person contacted him.

“I heard you’re looking for an item containing the Power of Space-time?”

The person contacting Su Xiao was a former enemy, Gulu, with whom relations had eased somewhat through collaboration.

Hearing Gulu’s clear childlike voice, Su Xiao felt a slight headache. If Gulu indeed had the item he wanted, that would not be good news.

“See you at Locke Street; don’t tell me you don’t dare to come.”

Gulu, seemingly speaking with a mouthful of candy, said this sentence before hanging up the communication.

In the trading market, Su Xiao frowned. He seriously suspected his fortune was at odds with Gulu’s. If things went smoothly for him, Gulu would be the unlucky one, and vice versa. The last War World was the best example.

Twenty minutes later, on a slightly cold street, this was Locke Street. Those who could open a shop here usually had some connection with a Travel Group.

For most Contractors, Locke Street wasn’t a good place, but it was a necessary one. Suppose a Lone Wolf snatched something from a large Adventure Team; the gains would definitely need to be sold at Locke Street, or there would be endless trouble. It can be said that Locke Street is the black market within Reincarnation Paradise. No matter how dangerous an item’s origin is, it can be safely sold here.

In the middle of Locke Street, inside a cold drink shop, Gulu held a watermelon juice with both hands, a straw in her mouth, and her cheeks puffed up.

“Mmu na mu yi…”

Gulu mumbled with her mouth full of watermelon juice.

“Speak clearly.”

Su Xiao sat across from Gulu, holding a cigarette between his fingers.

With a gulp, Gulu swallowed the juice. The ‘gulu’ sound she made was similar to her name, perhaps that’s where her name came from.

“No smoking here.”

“Oh.”

Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette and waited for Gulu to name her price.

“I do have what you want, but…”

Gulu’s smile grew brighter as she leaned forward.

“I’m just not selling it to you.”

After saying this, her smile resembled an amusing meme, her face like a little bun matching the expression perfectly.

“…”

Su Xiao didn’t say anything, just looked at Gulu. She spread her hands, clearly not fearing Su Xiao.

“Just kidding, why so serious? Didn’t we experience the War World together? Am I that heartless? Obviously not.”

“Cut the crap, name your price.”

“Oh my, with that attitude, I need to think about it. Hmm~, 1.5 million Paradise coins.”

“…”

A smile gradually appeared on Su Xiao’s face, while Gulu sweetly smiled back. In truth, she was extremely satisfied inside. This little girl held grudges and was stubborn like a donkey. She never forgot being robbed of the Demon Hunting Ring by Su Xiao.

Three crisp knocks, and three large Soul Crystals appeared on the table. Gulu’s smile widened.

“Now that’s some sincerity, but…”

Before Gulu could finish, Su Xiao waved his hand, and two more large Soul Crystals slid from his sleeve.

“Deal.”

Gulu took out a withered bloom, which still had four petals, appearing as black as ink, like a black hole ready to swallow everything.

[Living Flower]

Origin: Black Abyss · Deepest Part · Spirit Flower Sea.

Quality: Special

Type: Material/Consumable (can be used four times)

Usage Effect 1: The withered blossom contains a large amount of the Power of Space-time, which can be used to create a distant transmission formation diagram or enter a random Derivative World/Original World.

Rating: None

Description: Forget-me-not, farewell.

Selling Price: Cannot be sold to Reincarnation Paradise.

The item Gulu took out was strange, a withered flower called [Living Flower]. It lacked quality and rating, and its selling price was unique. Reincarnation Paradise didn’t purchase this item.

“Let’s make the transaction.”

Gulu glanced at the five large Soul Crystals. The nature of the group was very special, and they didn’t share Soul Crystals, meaning Gulu was not much different from a Lone Wolf. She naturally shouldn’t lack Soul Crystals.

But Su Xiao knew one thing: Gulu’s consumption of Soul Crystals was like a Bottomless Pit. She had a piece of Growth-type Equipment that probably ‘consumed’ Soul Crystals.

“Something from the Black Abyss.”

Su Xiao’s hand rested on the five large Soul Crystals, just as he also pressed down on Gulu’s small hand.

“What, you don’t even know about Black Abyss? No way.”

“Suddenly, I’m not so interested in this stuff.”

“Hey, hey, are you a man or not? Going back on your word.”

Gulu gritted her teeth, nearly succeeding in her deal.

“Black Abyss, the deepest part, Spirit Flower Sea. Things obtained from such a biological restrict area, Reincarnation Paradise doesn’t purchase it, and you sell it to me?”

Su Xiao grabbed the Soul Crystals from the table, preparing to leave.

“This is a welfare issued by our leader, absolutely no problem, three pieces, that’s my bottom line.”

“Deal.”

“Hah, just like that Cunning Old Fox Qing Ye, you sly old foxes are all filthy inside.”

Gulu began drafting the contract terms, quickly closing the deal.

“When you skin someone alive, you’re no more noble than Qing Ye and me.”

Su Xiao stored the [Living Flower] in the storage space, nearly fulfilling his promise to Sha. Initially, if he couldn’t get an item containing the World’s Power, he planned to substitute it with a World Key-type item, which was readily available in the trading market.
