Chapter 3: Obtain One Random Piece of Equipment Worn by Unnumbered Contractor Xi
...
Three choices were available, and maximizing the gains depended on Xi's habits and combat style.
Su Xiao directly ruled out the first extraction method. He was not lacking in daily necessities at all.
In most cases, drawing items from a contractor's storage space was a very disappointing reward. It would either be shampoo, coffee beans, or some bizarre and peculiar object.
The 10 extraction chances seemed tempting, but in reality, only Xi herself knew how many items were in her storage space.
After a moment of thought, Su Xiao decided to extract a skill. This was a safer bet. If he happened to draw Xi's ability to manipulate crystals, it would be a massive profit.
[Random extraction in progress...]
[You have obtained: Crystal Energy Fission.]
[Note: This is a skill modified by the unnumbered contractor Xi based on her class characteristics. Skill backtracking in progress...]
[Skill scroll characteristic backtracking complete. This scroll has been reverted to its initial state.]
[You have obtained: Mana Fission.]
[Mana Fission]
Type: Skill Scroll · Magic · Passive
Prerequisite: 110 points of True Intelligence.
Skill Effect (Lv.1): When releasing a magic-type skill, there is a 3.1% chance to trigger this effect, forming a mental stimulus, thereby restoring the mana consumed by this cast.
Warning: The Hunter cannot master this ability.
...
His luck wasn't bad. Su Xiao planned to sell the [Mana Fission] scroll together with the Holy Spirit rank accessory [Electro-Walk]. As for the buyer, he considered the mage lord he had befriended, Chen. The other party was an all-element mage lord, with the lightning element included.
Su Xiao contacted Chen and initiated a temporary text communication. The content was as follows:
White Night: "There?"
2 minutes later...
Chen: "You tell me what it is first, then I'll decide if I'm here or not."
White Night: "[Mana Fission], [Electro-Walk]."
Chen: "I'm here, but... I can't afford it. Selling [Mana Fission] alone is fine. If you're planning to sell them as a package, then don't waste Brother White Night's time. Anyway, thanks for thinking of me."
...
Chen's reply was very straightforward. Su Xiao chose to contact Yin Luo. As a sixth-rank contractor, Yin Luo had an adventure group behind her.
Within a few minutes, Yin Luo gave a reply, asking to meet Su Xiao to discuss it in person.
Seeing Yin Luo's reply, Su Xiao decided to stall for a few hours. Yin Luo's reply was too concise. This most likely meant that there was a sixth-rank mage lord within her adventure group. Stalling for a while would be beneficial for raising the price.
Inside a bookstore in Reincarnation Paradise, Yin Luo, dressed as a waitress, waited with slight anxiety. Her attire was already androgynous, and combined with her physical features, if one didn't look at her face, it was hard to tell she was a woman.
"Was I found out? Niye, don't say I screwed you over. You're going to have to bleed for this."
Yin Luo let out a long sigh, took out her communicator, and contacted the mage lord in her group in a calm tone.
...
At the same time, inside his exclusive room, Su Xiao was considering one thing: selling [Maze of All Beings (Charm Attribute Equipment)] and [Adventure Group Rank Promotion Certificate] to the Divine Emperor Adventure Group.
Not long ago, Su Xiao had just taken a cut from this 'fat sheep.' Only one world's progress had passed since then. The Divine Emperor Adventure Group was likely still recovering, their group funds wailing in misery.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao decided that next time he had the chance, he would sell things to the Divine Emperor Adventure Group again. He couldn't just dump any and all resources on the Divine Emperor side. He had long noticed that Divine Emperor, in order to maintain their trade relationship, would often force himself to buy the items Su Xiao sold. From this, it was clear that Divine Emperor was a very good trading partner.
Both sides had their own needs. Divine Emperor wanted to maintain the trading relationship because the items Su Xiao sold were, at the very least, high-quality goods. This was one of the few sources of high-quality equipment for the Divine Emperor Adventure Group. No, it was their most important source of high-rank equipment, bar none. And the prices were fair. The last time he saw the attributes of [Mother of the White Goat], Divine Emperor's inner thought at the time was, 'Holy shit, there's equipment this messed up?!'
As for Su Xiao, he valued the Divine Emperor Adventure Group's efficiency and their sufficient credibility. If they said they would prepare the funds in three hours, they would never delay it to three hours and one minute.
