Chapter 2172: A decision of both superiority and life and death
Servants can also enter the trading street, but they can only stay there for 17 hours. For Benny on Su Xiao's side, this time needs to be arranged well.
In the trading street, complete soul crystals were placed on the stalls. Although they were rare, some people were selling them. The price of a complete soul crystal was 20 soul coins. If a large number of soul crystals were purchased in a short period of time, the price would increase. He spent more than a thousand soul coins to buy more than 30 complete soul crystals. To upgrade to a first-level sword master, complete soul crystals were needed. This was close to the soul crystal that could upgrade to a two-level sword master.
The trading street is completely different from the trading market. Some contractors who can enter here, especially lone wolves, have a small surplus of soul crystals. Not all lone wolf contractors consume soul crystals like Lin Jiu and Su Xiao.
Why is there no one selling soul crystals in the trading market? The reason is that there are too many contractors there, and soul crystals will be consumed after being sold, and cannot be bought back after being sold.
The trading street is different. Although there are many contractors here, there are not as many as in the trading market. To sell a complete soul crystal here, you just need some patience. You can buy it again next time you need it. Therefore, only the seventh-level contractors dare to sell complete soul crystals. This is the result of the general environment. Again, only when everyone dares to sell soul crystals can they have a chance to buy this scarce material.
In other words, relying on the trading street and the financial resources of the Samsara Chamber of Commerce, Lin Jiu could have improved his swordsmanship by several levels in a short period of time. But he did not do so. On the one hand, it would damage the healthy development of the Samsara Chamber of Commerce, and on the other hand, it was unnecessary.
The improvement of swordsmanship master requires steady progress. The ability of a master who relies solely on stacking levels is very superficial. Just like the swordsmanship master in Apocalypse Paradise that Su Xiao met before, there is no shortage of resources in the environment of Apocalypse Paradise, and the level of the swordsmanship master who stacked up is higher than Su Xiao, but he died in Su Xiao's hands in a few moves.
If it was possible to stack the Grandmaster level of skills, Apocalypse Paradise would not have been beaten so badly. When Lin Jiu had not reached the seventh level and had not unlocked the rights of the trading street, it did not mean that Daxus had no ability to purchase items from the trading street, so he did not carry out such operations. When there was a real lack of soul crystals, he would let the Chamber of Commerce come here to purchase them.
Lin Jiu also thought of one thing, that the soul crystals (complete) that appeared in the trading market were not necessarily all from the hands of those wealthy lone wolf contractors. They might also be commissioned to be sold by higher-level contractors.
Soul Crystal (Complete) is enough for them to use. When they reach a higher level, they will need to use higher level soul crystals. In that case, the Soul Crystal (Complete) they get is not as useful as the universal currency such as Soul Coin. Naturally, they will find some seventh level contractors to sell it on their behalf and turn it into Soul Coin.
"Wow~ Lao Bai, I haven't seen you setting up a stall in person for a long time." Lin Jiu was strolling in the Trading Street and stopped in front of a stall. Although the people in the Trading Street were covered with black fog, he and Su Xiao were so familiar with each other that a little black fog could not prevent Lin Jiu from recognizing Su Xiao.
Of course, it was one thing to recognize it from the sense of familiarity, and another thing was that Lin Jiu saw the things on the stalls, weren't they the products of Doom Town? Except for Su Xiao who had killed most of the bosses in Doom Town, who could display so many things?
"Try it." Su Xiao said simply. Lin Jiu was also here, and the two sides also made a deal. Lin Jiu gave Su Xiao the Winter Hammer, and Su Xiao gave him a green quality equipment.
That’s right, it is green quality equipment, but it is a growth equipment.

……
Lin Jiu had encountered more growth equipment than Su Xiao, including the Dark Abyss and Dawn Bird in his hand, the Red Moon used by Isabella, the Dragon Bow of Winnie, and the Red Lotus Sword of Honglian, etc. Many of the other reincarnation clones probably also had growth weapons and equipment.
After all, Lin Jiu's luck attribute is there, and although he didn't have earth-shattering gains, the overall growth rate of him and his reincarnation clones is definitely higher than that of ordinary contractors. The growth-type weapons and equipment that are rare for contractors naturally have a higher probability of appearing.
The equipment that Su Xiao traded for was not worth the Winter Hammer at all. If it was the case in the original book, this equipment would be very suitable for Am, but Su Xiao still sold it because Am did not have the basic shield ability, and the servants did not have the Reincarnation Mark, but some had the Servant Mark. In most cases, the condition for using all skill scrolls was the Reincarnation Mark.
Unless the degree of compatibility is very high or certain conditions are met, the servant can master the scroll ability. For example, the key to Gungun learning the Voice of the Empty is that it is first bound to the "Twilight Bell".
In other words, if Am wants to master basic shield-related abilities, he can only rely on luck. As for self-study, it is too slow, and it will take years to gain initial mastery.
Without these restrictions, Isabella, Gungun, and Winnie would have more abilities than what they have now. Without restrictions, with Lin Jiu's financial resources, he would definitely be able to allow them to master more abilities than at least half of the contractors of the same level.
The advantage of servants is that they will grow in the world, and the abilities they have mastered can undergo qualitative changes as long as there is a chance. Just like this time in the Yimi Continent, Winnie got such an opportunity.
But it is different now. With the Samsara Chamber of Commerce as a backing, we have control over very large trading channels and can always collect props or other methods that allow servants to directly master abilities.
Su Xiao can completely rely on the power of the Samsara Chamber of Commerce to equip Am with this growth equipment shield. Taking it out to trade to Lin Jiu is completely to clear the account.
If Lin Jiu has something suitable for him, he will just give it to him. There is no money transaction. Lin Jiu does not lack these things. What he needs is helpful items. Most of the transactions between the two sides are in this form. If it is useful to the other party, they will trade it first. With their relationship, they don't need to calculate so much.
In the real world, ordinary people would get tangled up in this kind of transactions when conflicts arose. But Lin Jiu and Su Xiao had no conflicts. If they really became hostile to each other, they would not argue about what you owed me and what I owed you. They would only fight to see who was better and who was worse.
