Chapter 32: A Hundred Billion Value A-Level Accessories, Astonishing BUG!
"Sir, these are the coordinates."
Wang Lanlan sent the coordinates to Xu Gu.
"Let's lay low first." Xu Gu looked at the coordinates, somewhat surprised that they were directly built within the city area. These Ascension Sect members are truly crazy and arrogant.
Instead of heading directly to the Ascension Sect's base, he pulled out the B-level accessories sent by the Demon Hunting Team.
[lv1·B-level·Class I Liquid Hydrogen Energy Power Engine Assistance System]
[Core material is the Lord Hellfire Wolf's Power Core, containing the crystallization of Mechanical Abyss technology, using liquid hydrogen as fuel, with a special structure that is more efficient than the general liquid hydrogen power assistance engines.]
[Power Bonus: 60]
Indeed, the power bonus is a bit stronger than the typical B-level power accessories.
Xu Gu nodded in satisfaction.
On Blue Star, no matter the country, the price of accessories remains consistently high.
C-level accessories, if purchased inside the Genesis Mall, cost only twenty to thirty thousand points.
However, if you do not have enough permissions and need to purchase non-binding C-level accessories in reality, it would cost at least two to three hundred thousand points—that's ten times the price in the mall!
Of which, seventy to eighty thousand is the cost of materials, seventy to eighty thousand is the cost of craftsmanship, and over a hundred thousand is the profit the merchants aim to make.
B-level accessories are even more valuable. If purchasing non-binding ones outside, it would cost at least two million points, which is two billion Star Coins.
This is also the main reason why, despite being a B-level Mechanical Man with a not-so-low status in Xia City, Wang Lanlan still does not have B-level accessories.
Not to mention, she barely has any C-level accessories.
Low permissions, and no money.
You might think Mechanical People make money quickly and have high status, but most of them have assets, and not much actual cash on hand. Their expenses are also high.
Regular supplements of energy liquid, replacement of damaged parts, restocking ammunition, upgrading accessories, etc., all are significant expenditures.
This does not even include big spends like rent or buying a house. They can't really live in a parking lot, can they?
Also, they definitely have more than one accessory on their person, Xu Gu has eight, others have at least three or four.
It's probably only Xu Gu who could afford having two S-level accessories, one A-level accessory, and a bunch of B-level and C-level accessories right after awakening.
"B-level accessories, market price two million points, two billion Star Coins.
"However, commissioning someone to make them doesn't cost that much.
"The Hellfire Wolf carcass that I provided, although it's dropped a B-level accessory, still has a total value of around eight hundred thousand points. The materials used may just be about six hundred thousand points, and the manufacturing cost estimated to be six hundred thousand points as well. It's like the Demon Hunting Team has advanced me four hundred thousand points."
Xu Gu slightly estimated in his mind.
The matter of advancing funds, although not mentioned by the Demon Hunting Team, he knew it in his heart.
However, the Demon Hunting Team certainly doesn't lose out, as they took away quite a few Level 30 War General Mechanical Monster carcasses.
With the digestion ability of their Demon Hunting Team, if processed well, making a profit of seven to eight hundred thousand points isn't hard.
Even after deducting the advanced four hundred thousand, they still profit.
One day, five people, earning three to four hundred thousand points, even though members of the Demon Hunting Team are all A-level, while it won't make them rich overnight, is also not a small sum.
Not to mention, he also saved them.
Afterward, not fully exploiting them for what they're worth would be a disservice to his investment.
Xu Gu composed himself, choosing to amplify the boost.
Still spending a hundred thousand points, buying entry-level amplification.
[Amplifying!]
[Amplification 70 times!]
"70 times amplification." Xu Gu was fairly satisfied.
The amplification multiple for entry-level is 10~100. A 70 times amplification is indeed lucky.
If he could maintain this luck consistently, that would be comfortable.
His eyes fell on the B-level power assistance accessory in front of him.
[Amplifying!]
[Amplification successful!]
The[lv1·B-level·Class I Liquid Hydrogen Energy Power Engine Assistance System]amplified to[lv1·A-level·Solid Hydrogen Fuel Power Engine Assistance System]
[Using solid hydrogen as fuel, cleaner and more efficient.]
[Feature: Power Burst. Activates burst mode. Firepower, defensive power, power, up to 30% increase.
[At maximum burst, duration is 10 minutes, after use it will cause some trauma to the body. The burst degree can be adjusted to control the duration and the physical damage.]
[Power Bonus: 100]
"A-level?" Xu Gu's eyes brightened.
He initially thought that only a 70 times amplification might be difficult for advancement, but perhaps because it was already a top contender among B-levels, it was promoted to A-level.
A-level accessories are even more valuable because the Genesis Mall no longer offers such high-level accessories, even with permissions they can't be purchased.
It can only be traded with others.
The price is generally over ten million points. That's over a hundred billion Star Coins!
Not enough, after the amplification promotion, the data in A-level is somewhat ordinary. But this feature, it's truly incredible.
A 30% all attributes increase!
Isn't this a Divine Skill?
[Detected, same type high-level accessory, whether to transfer Experience, Experience loss rate 30%.]
[Transferring!]
[Transfer successful!]
[Your A-level Solid Hydrogen Power Assist accessory level has increased, current level lv7!]
Xu Gu looked at the panel.
[Level: 8]
[Rank: SSS]
[Firepower: 6380]
[Defense: 5720]
[Power: 4700]
[Loaded Accessories: 8 (1 piece S-level lv8, 1 piece S-level lv7, 2 pieces A-level lv7, 3 pieces C-level lv8.)]
At the same time, an audacious idea occurred to him.
"The cost of a hundred thousand points for amplification, plus selling price of two million points for a B-level accessory, transformed into an A-level worth ten million points, a hundred billion Star Coins!"
Xu Gu smiled radiantly.
This is a BUG!
As long as he sells this A-level accessory, buys B-level accessories, continues amplifying, he could endlessly earn the price difference.
If he switches between S-level and A-level cycles, the profit margin could be even higher.
As long as he wants, he could completely utilize this ability to amass a massive fortune!
"However, amplification depends on luck, and the multiples fluctuate greatly. Only amplifying B-level to A-level has a high cost.
"High-level non-binding accessories, like A-level accessories, are exceptionally hard to obtain.
"Also, if I do this early on, I might be targeted, dissected for research as if a monster."
Xu Gu isn't planning on reselling accessories for the time being.
He isn't running short on money for now.
Once he's powerful enough and short on money, he could make a move.
"Right now, I'll first secure the S-level accessory reward from the mission series in Xia City. Later, invest heavily, a thousandfold amplification, all the way to SSS level !
"Who knows what astonishing features it'll have!"
Xu Gu's face showed anticipatory excitement as he glanced at the coordinates sent by Wang Lanlan and sped off.
The task of annihilating the Ascension Sect base, aside from earning extra points, also comes with corresponding mission rewards. Given such high difficulty, the reward should not be disappointing.
"I hope that Ren Dongyang will help me land a big fish."

PS: Due to harmonization issues, later Ascension Sect was renamed Ascension Sect.
