Chapter 432 The Money-Giving Boy
"How do I exchange this one?"
"Same!" The stall owner glanced at him, then at Lin Zhennan standing silently behind him, seemingly unconcerned about their respective strengths.
"I'll trade this for two items." Xu Si took out an item from his dimensional space and tossed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner's expression turned more serious, but he still wouldn't budge.
"One piece"
"Two things. If you can't make the decision, find someone who can!" Xu Si said without any hesitation.
The others thought a battle was inevitable, since even the best artifacts were a bit of a stretch to exchange for two artifacts ranked around 2,000.
However, when they saw the hesitant look in the stall owner's eyes, everyone was stunned. They were curious about what Xu Si had taken out.
They couldn't refuse that rare item, or rather, no caravan could refuse it.
That was a strange object made by Xu Si using [bat wings] that allowed people to fly.
Although its ranking is similar to these two rare items, its functionality is far superior.
If you exchange one item for two, it's hard to say who will lose out.
The stall owner ran his fingers over the dark red object twice, his hesitation in his eyes like ripples on the water.
The strange object was a dark red cloak as thin as a cicada's wing. When folded, it was no bigger than the palm of a hand, but when unfolded, it was several times larger than Xu Si's cloak.
If the flight ability is activated, one can fly even without wings, thanks to the cape.
In the apocalypse, everyone knows what flying means.
"I……"
The stall owner opened his mouth, but his gaze involuntarily drifted past the crowd towards the northwest corner of the camp.
There, the Tortoise Corps camp was as quiet as a graveyard, without any movement.
But Xu Si knew that there was a pair of eyes watching them from that direction.
"Change."
A hoarse voice came from the crowd, unhurried, like a rusty iron gate being slowly pushed open.
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
Cui Daoxuan walked out of the crowd, his steps unhurried, his cloudy eyes gleaming with a cold, grayish-white light under the blood-red sun.
He looked older than the last time we met, his face etched with wrinkles like a dried-up riverbed, densely covering every inch of his skin.
But his back was even more sunken, like a knife broken by the years.
"We meet again, young friend." Cui Daoxuan looked at him calmly, but his eyes were constantly scrutinizing him.
"The old man is still as dashing as ever!" Xu Si didn't know if the guy in front of him was a puppet, so he wasn't really interested in chatting.
"I can't compare to you, young friend. Since you've appeared here unharmed, you must have already obtained the Time Traveler's Potion, right?" Cui Daoxuan dropped a bombshell.
The Time Traveler was a very famous figure before the apocalypse.
When everyone looked at Xu Si again, they felt as if they were looking at a monster.
Having gained a mount for free, Lin Zhennan stood stiffly behind Xu Si, his attitude conveying only one message—if you want to mess with him, mess with me first.
Xu Si's gaze turned dangerous.
That old guy is really cunning.
Whether he got it or not, he definitely got it now.
The key point is that he actually owned it, so who can he complain to?
He's starting to regret not robbing that bastard earlier.
"Ahem, just kidding, don't take it seriously, everyone?" Cui Daoxuan emphasized as he tried to salvage the situation, but Xu Si really wanted to curse his ancestors.
"Young friend, please don't be offended. As people get older, their minds slow down and they can't keep their mouths shut," Cui Daoxuan said, waving his hand at the stall owner.
The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief and handed the newly acquired case puppet to Cui Daoxuan.
He was afraid that these two guys would really kill him. Not caring was one thing, but being unable to beat them was another.
"Should we take him down?" Lin Zhennan was eager to repay Xu Si's kindness, regardless of whether he could actually defeat him.
We definitely need to show the right attitude.
"Young man, don't get so worked up. I may be old, but I'm not deaf. I was just joking. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?" He glanced at the strange item Xu Si had given him, stuffed it into his pocket with great satisfaction, and then said slowly.
Lin Zhennan quickly shut his mouth, looking wary, his fingers already gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Young friend, see you next time. This old man is going back to get some sleep; old people need more sleep!"
Xu Si really wanted to crack open the tortoise shell and see what was inside.
However, he is no longer the impulsive teenager he once was.
Cui Daoxuan's figure disappeared into the Divine Turtle Caravan camp.
Lin Zhennan remained standing behind Xu Si, keeping a watchful eye on him.
"Brother Dao, that old bastard..."
"Never mind." Xu Si withdrew his gaze.
He didn't actually want to waste time on these trivial matters.
"You can go ahead and wander around," Xu Si said.
Lin Zhennan held the rhinoceros puppet, actually wanting to be Xu Si's follower more, but since Brother Dao had spoken, he had to listen.
The thought that he was now a true knight made him grin from ear to ear.
-
After inspecting the other caravan stalls, Xu Si couldn't find any suitable strange drops. They were either too low-ranking or not even as good as his.
He eventually arrived at the stall of the three brothers, Dragon, Tiger and Leopard.
Zhou Hu had already revealed the strange drops from the caravan. Everyone knew Xu Si had good stuff, and whether he could sell it at a high price depended on this.
Xu Si actually found a rather interesting and bizarre drop.
[Mysterious Drop Detected: Sword Bone]
【Characteristics: Sword Intent, Sword Type, Sword Style】
[Compatible Upgrade Option 1: Sword Master Sequence Awakening Potion]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 1000]
[Upgrade Option 2: Enhance the Artifact - Sword of Punishment]
[Description: Awaken the heart of the sword, and sever the evil within.]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 65000]
This is the strangest drop that has consumed the most purification points that Xu Si has ever encountered.
There are only two explanations: first, this strange drop is of extremely high rank; second, it is extremely compatible with the [Sword of Punishment].
This strange drop probably involves both.
How do I exchange this strangely dropped item?
"No trade, let's fight. If I win, it's yours!"
Zhou Long was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a broad back. Standing there, he was almost as tall as Tashan.
And the three brothers look exactly alike.
Xu Si was able to recognize him because this guy was the only one who was a Sequence 5.
"You lost?" Xu Si looked at Zhou Long with amusement.
"If you lose, you can have that car." Zhou Long was clearly up to no good.
"That one strange drop isn't enough!"
"If I win, it's all yours!"
Everyone around gasped.
"Big Brother!" Zhou Hu was also startled.
There are about twenty strange drops here.
Even if you exchange four strange drops for one Awakening Potion, you can still get five.
This is quite a fortune.
Xu Si began to wonder if this guy was his lucky charm.
This kind of good thing can definitely happen more often.
