# Chapter 57: Azure Will
Inside a private room at a cold drink shop.
"Niye, what are you standing there for? This is the seller, Bai Ye."
Yinluo Manlou looked at her teammate with confusion.
"Hello, I'm Niye."
Mage Lord Niye walked over with a smile on his face, as if the previous scene had never happened.
Everyone took their seats, but the price negotiation hadn't even started yet, and the atmosphere was clearly off.
"Haha."
Yinluo laughed somewhat awkwardly. She kicked Niye under the table, signaling him to say something.
Niye was actually in a difficult position. Through Yinluo's narration, he could basically confirm that this transaction would absolutely be a rip-off, and a soul-crushing one at that.
"Regarding the price..."
Niye didn't disparage [Mana Fission] or [Lightning Walk], since these items were rare finds.
"82..."
Su Xiao spoke calmly.
"Huh?"
Yinluo was confused. She couldn't figure out what Su Xiao meant by 82. 820,000 Paradise Coins? That was a dream.
"82 complete Soul Stones."
"Can't afford it. Farewell."
Yinluo stood up to leave, but a hand pressed down on her head, pushing her back into her seat.
"Let's do barter trade. If it's Paradise Coins or Soul Crystals, I'll have to regretfully decline."
Niye still maintained his smile, though it looked somewhat forced.
"Fine."
"Friend, you're... a melee type?"
Niye had of course noticed that Su Xiao was a melee type, but asking was just a formality.
"Yes."
"Good then. I have a pretty good ranged weapon here."
Bang!
Before Niye could finish speaking, Yinluo punched him on the head. From the way Yinluo, Niye, and the Female Ghost interacted, it was clear their adventure group was both powerful and cheerful. Such groups were usually small in number but strong in unity, and were very rare in Reincarnation Paradise.
"Just kidding. Since this is a transaction, we'll show our sincerity too."
Niye placed four items on the table: a weapon, a Holy Spirit rank class inheritance item, and two skill scrolls, all active type.
Su Xiao didn't need the class inheritance item, nor did he have any use for the active skill scrolls. As for the weapon, it was a war hammer.
This item required a Grandmaster rank basic skill prerequisite, and needed a full 143 points of Strength to use. Amu clearly couldn't use it.
"Is that all?"
"Of course... not."
Niye began taking items out of his storage space. He had already decided that even if he had to cut off his own flesh today, he would complete the deal. Of course, if the price demanded was too outrageous, he would have to give up.
Before long, the table was covered with items. Yinluo couldn't bear to watch anymore. This was practically selling off everything they had.
"Is that all?"
"That's... all."
The smile on Niye's face had long since frozen. He now really wanted to beat Yinluo up. Her earlier strategic mistake had led to this situation.
"There's more, these."
The silent "Female Ghost" took out a weapon and several props from her storage space.
After examining all the items on the table, Su Xiao lit a cigarette.
"The next batch of buyers will be arriving soon. Let's stop here for now."
Su Xiao was somewhat disappointed with the items Niye had brought out, but that didn't matter. Beini had arranged 12 groups of buyers, and they would arrive one batch after another.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do."
"What a pity."
Niye put away the items on the table, and all three stood up to leave.
But they hadn't taken more than a few steps before Niye stopped.
"Fuck~"
Niye looked at Yinluo, whose cheek twitched. She began communicating with Niye through the team channel.
"Are you sure? If we sell that thing, won't Sister Lin hang both of us up and whip us?"
"Sister Lin? Do we know anyone by that name?"
Niye looked at Yinluo with "confusion," causing her smile to gradually collapse. She could already imagine the "kind" smile on one of her teammates after selling that item.
"The World War isn't far off. Besides, I don't need to explain how rare accessories are. The other party is offering an accessory, so accessory for accessory. I'll give up my Soul Crystal share for the next three worlds to Lady Lin."
"Deal!"
Yinluo slapped Niye on the back, causing the Mage Lord to cough a few times.
"Let's continue our discussion."
Niye sat back down and took out an accessory-type equipment from his storage space.
[Azure Will (Holy Spirit Rank · Accessory)]
Durability: 90/90
Equipment Prerequisite: Grandmaster Lv.30 or above Melee Basic Ability (Only one accessory equipment can be worn at a time.)
Equipment Effect (Unique): All melee-type abilities, overall damage intensity increased by 20%.
Rating: 995 points (Holy Spirit rank equipment has a rating range of 700-1000 points)
Description: This is... the Azure Will. Only technique masters are worthy of wearing it.
Selling Price: Soul Crystal (Complete) × 15.
...
[Azure Will]'s ability was quite simple, but it was this simple ability that would bring Su Xiao an enormous boost.
[Azure Will] could increase overall melee damage intensity by 20%. It seemed like it was boosting Su Xiao's strength by one-fifth, but that wasn't actually the case.
Don't even mention a 20% overall increase; even 2% could be the key to defeating an enemy in a life-or-death battle.
"Two for one."
Niye placed [Azure Will] on the table, meaning he wanted to exchange this equipment for [Mana Fission] and [Lightning Walk].
"One for one."
"Impossible. Azure has nearly 100 rating points higher than Lightning Walk. Lightning Walk only boosts lightning-type abilities, while Azure boosts all melee attack intensity, and overall intensity at that."
Niye's attitude was very firm, and he was actually right. [Lightning Walk] enhanced a very narrow category, while [Azure Will] was suitable for all melee users.
"Forget it then. Keep these items for now. When my melee ability reaches Grandmaster rank and hits Lv.30, I'll contact you."
"Uh..."
With just one sentence from Su Xiao, Niye immediately choked. [Azure Will] was good in every way except for its ridiculously high equipment prerequisite. When he first saw this equipment, Niye's thought was: Is this even equipment meant for humans? Can someone at Sixth Rank push their Grandmaster melee ability to Lv.30?
"How about... you add something else?"
"..."
Su Xiao stopped talking. He really wanted to obtain [Azure Will], but he wouldn't easily back down.
"Deal."
"Deal."
Su Xiao took out [Lightning Walk] and placed it on the table. The transaction went smoothly.
After Yinluo and her group left, Su Xiao ordered another cold drink and continued waiting. The groups of buyers Beini had contacted would be arriving soon.
Before long, Beini brought in a group of buyers. There were five in this group. The items Su Xiao wanted to sell were three: [Mother of White Goat (Holy Spirit Rank)], [Mana Fission (Skill Scroll)], and [Delusion of All Beings (Epic Rank)].
This time, Su Xiao didn't even need to negotiate. Beini handled the buyers perfectly, shocking them with the market prices she quoted.
A few minutes later, the first group of buyers left. All five had the same feeling: if they didn't leave now, they might end up buying those three items at a blood-loss price.
"Meow~"
Beini was clearly unsatisfied and began contacting the second group of buyers. From then on, a group of buyers arrived every five minutes on average. This was the sales channel Beini had built. Whenever Su Xiao saw an item he liked, Beini had absolute confidence in closing the deal.
When the tenth group of buyers arrived, Su Xiao informed Beini through the team channel to try and close this deal.
Beini replied with a "no problem" and began negotiating with the buyer across the table. This was a taciturn man, very gloomy, who kept staring coldly at Beini.
After Beini's almost predatory negotiation, the gloomy man left, looking somewhat angry.
Beini wasn't flustered at all. She waited, and within ten minutes, the gloomy man pushed the door open again.
"Let's trade."
When he said this, the gloomy man's cheek twitched almost imperceptibly.
"Meow~"
A string of blue text appeared beside Beini: 'We're old friends, deduct 50,000 Paradise Coins.'
Seeing this string of blue text, the gloomy man's expression softened considerably. He took out 7 Soul Crystals (Complete), a Paradise Coin savings card with a face value of 1,950,000, and a Holy Spirit rank weapon — a sniper cannon nearly three meters long.
After completing the transaction, the gloomy man quickly left. Judging by the items he brought out, he had the backing of an adventure group.
Beini had traded [Mother of White Goat (Holy Spirit Rank, 860 rating)] + [Mana Fission] + [Delusion of All Beings (Epic Rank)] for a Holy Spirit rank max-rated sniper cannon, plus 7 Soul Crystals and 1,950,000 Paradise Coins. No matter how you looked at it, it was a massive profit.
Su Xiao placed one hand on the sniper cannon on the table. After obtaining [Heavenly Walk], he had already planned to change his ranged weapon. The power of [Devouring Annihilation] could no longer handle enemies at his current stage. Beini had been looking for a ranged weapon for a while, and the power of this sniper cannon they had just obtained was terrifying. However, the ammunition cost was also astonishing — 80,000 Paradise Coins per shot!
That's right, this nearly three-meter-long sniper rifle, with six rows of heat dissipation holes distributed at the front of the barrel, cost 80,000 Paradise Coins per bullet. This weapon had five layers of recoil buffer mechanisms installed; otherwise, the recoil would be enough to send the user flying backward.
Not only that, even if you removed just the heat dissipation device from the barrel, it could be sold as a Holy Spirit rank item.
