"make a deal!"
As the stall owner said something, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Ziwei immediately realized that he had been tricked and was about to have an attack.
"Guest, guest, this is what you just said yourself, two hundred star coins, are you trying to cheat?"
The lizard man said as he handed over the book.
Ziwei had no intention of taking action. She was just tricked and felt very uncomfortable.
When she saw the booklet that the other party had brought over, she had a strange expression on her face, as if she had been choked by something, but she finally took the book.
"Guests are really discerning. Old Crocodile, I will treat you as my friend. You can see if there is anything else you want, and I will give you a 20% discount!"
The lizard man said, and skillfully took out another "Soul Tracking Technique" from the package and placed it in the same place.
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes twitched.
Good guy, this is really wholesale sales, no wonder the two hundred star coins were sold directly.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt as if he had arrived at the antique market on Aquamarine.
After wandering around the nearby stalls again, Zhang Xiaoman was attracted by the variety of products here, and for a while he was a little reluctant to leave.
"The bones of the Qiling-level Brutal Dragon Beast are level 2 materials with high density and poor circulation of dark spiritual power. They are not suitable for use as energy-guided weapons. They are suitable for forging into blunt weapons..."
"But it's a pity. The shape of this animal bone is curved and small. It's not the best part. The price shouldn't be very high..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at a curved animal bone on the stall in front of him and analyzed the data in his personal terminal.
Although the mercenaries at these trading stalls like to trick newcomers, in fact, as long as you pay more attention, there are still ways to avoid it.
Just like now, Zhang Xiaoman logged into a community called "Newcomer Shopping Exchange Center", where he could directly obtain basic evaluation intelligence through the analysis of item information, and he could sort out some minefields.
"Poprofen grass is a level 2 material. Direct contact with the skin without protection will cause coma. In severe cases, it can cause sudden cardiac arrest... It can be diluted to make topoprofen medicine, which can play a role in Ignore the effects of pain for a short period of time..."
"Huh? Is this the tough silk of the Star Beast Spirit Spider? I remember that this thing seems to be the main material for the fearless suit... It seems to be a level 2 material..."
"And this... This is the core of the Benigni Scout-class drone, a level 2 material. There is a probability of containing three dark spirit circuits, 'Swift', 'Secret' and 'Flash', among which the 'Flash' circuit is the most valuable. , but as long as any kind of circuit can be obtained from it, the value of this core will increase dozens of times..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at a damaged black chip placed in front of him and shook his head secretly.
"It's just that... the damage to the core of this drone is too high, and the black fading layer on the outside is almost falling off. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee whether the internal core circuit has been taken away, even if the material itself It has already reached level 2, but compared to this price, there is no need to buy it..."
Through the information provided by the personal terminal, he knew that the core of the drone in front of him had lost its true value.
The core of a drone like this is a specialty of the Bell tribe, similar to the opponent's brain.
The core is usually surrounded by a black protective layer called a black layer.
This black faded layer is a coating that is inherent in the core of the drone and cannot be restored or repaired at present.
In other words, as long as the black fade layer has not been destroyed, it means that the dark spirit circuit inside is still intact, or it has not been taken away by anyone.
Of course, not all drone cores have dark spirit circuits inside. This is a game of luck. If you are lucky, all the cores you buy can have dark spirit circuits, and you can make a lot of money. Pen, get rich overnight.
Speaking of which, this is somewhat similar to gambling on stones.
It's just that the outer black layer of the drone core that Zhang Xiaoman is holding is almost damaged, and the chip inside can be seen in the music, so the probability that this thing still has a dark spiritual circuit is low.
"Poor man, if you don't buy it, don't do anything!"
When the stall owner saw Zhang Xiaoman comparing the novice guide in his personal terminal and looking up and down at the core of his drone, he felt quite unhappy and his tone became bad.
Most of the mercenaries who set up stalls in their area don't like customers to buy things based on those novice guides, because this will indeed affect their selling prices.
And the most important thing is that many people think this is a kind of disrespect for themselves and shows that they don't believe in themselves as a person.
"Watch your words, Lankton!"
Akatus took a step forward and looked at the stall owner with a fierce look in his eyes.
After walking around the market with Zhang Xiaoman, he now has a certain understanding of the people here. Guys with blue skin and no ears like this are a very large race here, named Lan. Kedo tribe.
"What, do you want to cause trouble?"
The Lancodo man showed no fear at all. He patted the floating board in front of him and stood up, staring at Akatus fiercely as well.
This man was originally a space mercenary, and the fact that he was able to return from hunting drones in the Bell Star Territory also showed that he had extraordinary strength, and naturally he could not be a master who was willing to suffer.
Several stall owners around saw that there seemed to be a lot of excitement here, and they all shouted loudly, with smiles on their faces like when they were eating melon and watching a show.
"snort."
Akatus did not speak, but snorted coldly. With his height of more than two meters and the ferocious black armor, he put great pressure on people.
With his cold snort, the cold air blew out from under his visor and spread over the body of the Lankdo stall owner, making him shiver uncontrollably and his whole body seemed to wake up a little. , a chill couldn't help but rise from the soles of my feet.
"Control level..."
The Lankdo man shivered all over. Just the cold breath that the other party just exuded made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave. At the same time, the pressure from a higher level of life made him almost breathless. .
On the side, Hilna also took a step forward and stared at the stall owner without saying a word.
"Control level!?"
The few spectators who were watching the show were all shocked. They did not expect that the strong man in black armor and stomach in front of them turned out to be a control-level strongman.
At this moment, they also felt tremendous pressure from the momentum exuded by Akatus, knowing that this was indeed a master-level powerhouse.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on Zhang Xiaoman again.
Judging from the situation just now, the strong man and the cold-faced woman beside him seemed to be the man's attendants. Obviously, the woman should also be a control-level existence.
To be able to bring two control-level guards at the same time, the man in front of me must have a very high status. I never expected that he would come to such a place to buy things.
"Okay, calm down!"
Zhang Xiaoman spoke.
He called back the two Arcatus and Hilna, looked at the stall owner, and said:
"It's us who have affected your business, I'm sorry."
He said and put the drone core back, turned around and prepared to leave.
The stall owner was frightened by Arcatus and Silna, and he only came back to his senses this time. He was about to say something to make amends, but the three people had already walked away, and he could only pat his head in annoyance.
If he had known those few were in control, he would have had a better attitude.
This is not to say that he wants to make a deal from the other party, but if he offends such a strong man, a mercenary like himself will easily suffer revenge from others.
It's okay to be on Skull Star. After all, it is an administrative planet in the Dark Spirit Star Territory, and safety will be guaranteed. But what if the other party is targeted? During a certain outing, if the other party comes to retaliate against you, it will be really dangerous. There is nowhere to cry.
"Lex! You idiot!"
"Snapped!"
There was a slap, and another man from Lankdo came over angrily and slapped the stall owner in the face.
"team leader……"
"Idiot! I'm not your captain! You have been kicked out of the team now. How many times have I told you that your bad mouth and bad temper should have been changed a long time ago. Sooner or later, trouble will come from your mouth! Now I know that I am afraid It’s too late! It’s too late!”
"Captain...I..."
"Okay! I will pay you every cent of your trophy funds. The Soul Hunters team will have nothing to do with you in the future, so you can take care of yourself!"
After that, the man hurried away, leaving the stall owner alone in a daze.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't go too far at this time. He could vaguely hear the movement behind him. He shook his head slightly, but didn't take it to heart.
"Arcatus, Sirna, you are not allowed to be as impulsive as before without my order in the future."
"My lord..."
Zhang Xiaoman sighed.
"I know you are trying to protect me, but this is a strange place after all, and you are no longer the top powerhouses on the continent of Erin. We have to keep a low profile and try not to cause trouble. Do you understand?"
Akatus nodded helplessly.
"I see……"
Hilna also responded. With her temperament, Zhang Xiaoman didn't have to worry.
After such an episode, the three of them had no intention of continuing shopping. It wasn't that their mood had gotten worse, but it was just that they could only look at it but not buy it. It was really uncomfortable.
In a sense, Zhang Xiaoman is indeed a penniless "poor man" now.
He just came here yesterday. Although he has a lot of materials, he hasn't had time to exchange them, so his personal capital account is still 0.
Ziwei just ran out to buy materials by himself and has not come back yet. Moreover, Zhang Xiaoman did not want to ask for money for everything. He looked at the nearby exchange and decided to exchange some money for it himself.
"Hey, Ji Xing, you're here! I finally found you!"
Ziwei's voice came from behind.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at her slightly when he saw her, and then suddenly smiled and said:
"I said Ziwei, what did you do just now? How much did you spend? Looking at you, why do you feel like you are bleeding heavily?"
Ziwei's eyes twitched.
"Can you see this?"
Zhang Xiaoman was delighted.
"Haha, you've got the pain written all over your face, right?"
Ziwei was speechless and had to tell the truth:
"Didn't I explode all my equipment when I was fighting those reapers? All the weapons and armor were damaged, and there were also some recovery potions, which all need to be replenished..."
"I went to find a few stalls just now. Those are relatively well-known in this generation and have a good reputation. I bought some materials I needed from them, but it was a bit far to go here and there, so I didn't call. You come."
"Oh, then won't your spiritual protection organization reimburse you for the money?"
Zhang Xiaoman asked curiously.
"What's the reimbursement? How can such a good thing be..."
Ziwei fiddled with his hair subconsciously with his fingers, looking listless.
"Our Shadow Sentinels are about to be disbanded. How can we still have funds allocated to us..."
"Oh? What do you say?"
Zhang Xiaoman became interested.
Ziwei curled his lips.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, it's not a secret anymore anyway."
She scratched her hair and sounded helpless.
"We Shadow Sentinels are affiliated with the Soul Guardians, and the Soul Guardians are under the direct jurisdiction of the Protoss Council. Our main responsibility is to track down dangerous Dark Soul criminals."
"On the surface, it does look very nice. Even high-level officials from the Ministry of Conformity can send it directly."
"It's just that the profession itself is very dangerous, and it's also difficult to train new people. The addition of new blood has become very rare."
"The most important thing is that the Star Council is now in name only. Everyone is not united and they are all vying for the position of the Great Elder. As a result, we have also been greatly affected... The members of the Soul Guardian are increasingly ignored. Funds are getting less and less, and now there are only three captain-level people left including me..."
"Damn it, it's not like those guys from the Consolidation Department. They created some kind of psychic guard team. I think they are just evil and want to take us Shadow Sentinels!"
"..."
Bala, bala, bala, Ziwei was like pouring out bitter water, talking about the current situation piece by piece, and some parts had no beginning and no end, and the listeners were very confused.
However, Zhang Xiaoman was attracted by a piece of information he said.
"Ziwei, you just said that the Star Spirit Council is not united and everyone is vying for the position of master. What is going on?"
he asked.
Ziwei was stunned for a moment, and then an unnatural smile appeared on his face.
"Aha...did I just say that? Did you hear it wrong? How could I say that? Yes! You must have heard it wrong..."
