Crazy, thank you Shurason, you will earn it if you buy it!

"Upgradable equipment is both expensive and kind of useless!"

Goblin Little Bro was being sincere. Their [Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth] prided themselves on fairness in business.

Those who could enter the Trading Secret Realm were either wealthy or of high status. Even a temporary pass cost a million yuan to enter once! How could an ordinary family afford such an expense?

Therefore, when doing business, Goblin Little Bro preferred to build long - term relationships rather than squeezing every bit of profit in a one - off deal.

Like a novice, Kai Blake asked curiously,

"Since the advancement conditions of the equipment are hidden, isn't there any way to check them?"

"Well, there is a way."

Goblin Little Bro patiently explained, "A master - level forging expert can, at some cost, check the current advancement conditions!"

"But the cost of a master - level forging expert's service is in the tens of millions! And after the equipment is advanced once, the new advancement conditions will change. You can't possibly ask a master - level forging expert to appraise it every time, can you?"

Goblin Little Bro had a point.

Upgradable equipment had two characteristics: 1. Hidden advancement conditions; 2. The advancement conditions refreshed after each advancement!

In other words, upgradable equipment was a bottomless pit that required a huge amount of resources to develop!

It was too risky, and more often than not, one would end up losing everything.

However, these two characteristics were meaningless in front of Kai Blake!

Kai Blake could see through the advancement conditions at a glance!

Even the upper limit of the equipment's advancement times and its future advancement routes couldn't escape Kai Blake's eyes!

As if remembering something, Goblin Little Bro added,

"Oh, there's another situation where you can identify the advancement conditions. There's an S - rank talent called [Keen Eyes] that can identify the advancement conditions of equipment with a 50% success rate, and it can be used three times a day."

Goblin Little Bro didn't say much about S - rank talents, as it involved secrets. It would cost extra money to know more.

Kai Blake just smiled after hearing this.

The gap between an S - rank talent and an SSS - rank talent was simply too huge!

After listening to these introductions, Kai Blake still stuck to his opinion.

"Show me the upgradable equipment. Maybe I'll find one that I like."

"Here's the list. These are all equipment that can be advanced at least three times!"

Kai Blake's eyes scanned the equipment list, and lines of notes appeared after the equipment names.

[Song of Shadows, can be advanced 3 times, 60 - level (A - rank quality) after full advancement!]

[Soul Screamer, can be advanced 6 times, 80 - level (S - rank quality) after full advancement!]

[...]

While checking the notes, Kai Blake didn't forget to compare the prices of these equipment.

[Song of Shadows] cost 300000 gold coins, and [Soul Screamer] cost 150000 gold coins...

Analyzing from the potential aspect, the latter was obviously stronger, but the price was only half of the former.

Because [Song of Shadows] had a good basic panel and was suitable for dark - type mages, while [Soul Screamer] was more focused on the soul - type, which was a rather unpopular class.

Of course, they had one thing in common - Kai Blake couldn't afford either of them.

Kai Blake only had 100000 gold coins in his pocket and couldn't even afford an upgradable staff!

Just as Kai Blake was browsing through the staffs, Goblin Little Bro suddenly exclaimed.

"Our main branch of the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth has just issued a notice. All low - level equipment is on sale at a 20% discount!"

"Is there really such a good thing?"

Kai Blake was a bit skeptical. Could this be some kind of promotional trick?

"Brother, thank Shurason for this."

Goblin Little Bro sighed, "These discounts are like casting a wide net to provide resources to the new generation as much as possible. Shurason must be one of them and will also enjoy these discounts!"

Obviously, the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth wouldn't lower the prices on their own initiative. There was definitely the influence of the [HADC] behind it.

The 150000 - gold - coin Soul Screamer, with a 20% discount, would cost 120000 gold coins. Kai Blake might be able to get it if he tried.

"Another message!"

Goblin Little Bro widened his eyes in disbelief and almost screamed, "Mage - class equipment is on sale at a 50% discount, but it must be sold to mages below level 30, and each person can only enjoy this once!"

50% off!

"Crazy! Everyone's gone crazy!"

Goblin Little Bro shook his head, not understanding this crazy world. "One Shurason has actually caused such a huge stir!"

"According to what you said, I should really thank this Shurason. He's saved me a lot of money."

Kai Blake couldn't help but laugh.

With a 50% discount, Kai Blake could consider equipment that cost less than 200000 gold coins!

It was like getting 100000 gold coins for free!

"Indeed, you should thank Shurason!"

Goblin Little Bro had never seen such a scene before. He pondered for a moment and said,

"Based on the previous class - transfer announcement, Shurason is a mage, so there's this amazing 50% discount!"

Kai Blake echoed, "If I could meet Shurason, I'd treat him to a good meal."

This was no lie. Kai Blake was essentially treating "Shurason" (himself) to a meal every day.

With the 50% discount, Kai Blake suddenly had many more options!

Finally, from hundreds of pieces of equipment, Kai Blake picked a staff made of thunder - struck wood: [Force of Nature Staff].

Judging from the attribute panel of the Force of Nature Staff, it seemed ordinary.

However, it was a rare [Thunder - type] and [Wood - type] dual - element staff. It could significantly enhance the magic skills of both elements and also had upgradeable attributes. The list marked a high price of 180000 gold coins.

"180000, 90000 gold coins after the discount."

Kai Blake skillfully bargained with him,

"Make it cheaper. This staff isn't made of gold."

"This is more valuable than gold!"

"..."

Finally, after more than ten minutes of haggling, Goblin Little Bro couldn't hold out any longer and gave Kai Blake another concession.

"80000 gold coins after the discount. I'll also give you 60 Tower of Eternity Return Tokens, 5 level - 10 usable Golden Scrolls, and 12 level - 15 combat puppets that can be commanded!"

"Deal!"

Kai Blake was satisfied with the price. Even without considering the free gifts, the 10000 gold coins he saved was a plus.

After reaching an oral agreement, Goblin Little Bro immediately sent a message to the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth, asking the Headquarters to send the goods over.

An 80000 - gold - coin deal wasn't something he could close every day!

Most importantly, the upgradable equipment Kai Blake bought was an unpopular and unsalable item. Most people wouldn't waste money on such equipment.

The Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth had a lot of equipment 积压 in their hands, unable to turn it into liquid funds, which was quite troublesome.

This deal was a win - win situation for both sides.

While waiting for the equipment to be delivered, Kai Blake asked Goblin Little Bro some more questions about the Trading Secret Realm. As long as it didn't involve secrets, the other party answered almost every question.

"As you said before, the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth not only sells things but also accepts consignments?"

Kai Blake asked casually.

"Yes, we're honest with everyone, and we don't charge any commission!"

Goblin Little Bro introduced, "Even for anonymous consignments, we don't charge a single copper coin in commission!"

"That's quite rare. No commission at all."

Kai Blake slightly narrowed his eyes. There must be top - tier powerhouses backing the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth, perhaps even the shadow of the [HADC]!

Otherwise, they wouldn't offer such generous discounts!

Thinking of this, Kai Blake spoke again,

"I have a friend..."

"Ugh."

Goblin Little Bro couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

Just say it's you. Why do you always say you have a friend?

"He has something he wants to consign anonymously."

Goblin Little Bro nodded. That was easy.

"What is it, and what price does he want to sell it for?"

"A stone."

Kai Blake took out a stone from his backpack. This was the key item to open the hidden level in the newbie dungeon!

With the help of [Eyes that analyze the essence], a note appeared floating above the stone:

[This is just an ordinary stone. What, do you expect to sell it for an astronomical price? Who would spend that much money on a stone?]

"Can this stone be sold?"

Seeing Kai Blake take out a stone, Goblin Little Bro was a bit surprised.

"Well, it can be, but... is there anything special about it?"

Kai Blake said, "It can be sold at a very high price."

Goblin Little Bro:...

"What selling method do you plan to use?"

"Anonymous auction. The buyer with the highest bid within the time limit gets it."

"Okay, what should the starting price be? 5000 gold coins?"

5000 gold coins was the limit of Goblin Little Bro's imagination.

Selling an ordinary - looking stone for a sky - high price of 5000 gold coins was something one could brag about for a lifetime!

It was like selling a stone at the price of a house in the imperial capital!

Kai Blake pondered for a moment and said,

"Set the starting price at 1 million gold coins."

For ordinary people, this stone was nothing special.

Even under the appraisal of [Eyes that analyze the essence], it was just an ordinary stone.

But Kai Blake knew in his heart that this was the trigger item for the hidden level of the newbie dungeon and also the witness of the human race's first clearance of the newbie dungeon!

This was the additional significance of the stone.

As for whether anyone would be willing to pay such a high price for a commemorative stone, Kai Blake wasn't sure.

It never hurts to try. Anyway, consigning an item was free, and if it didn't sell, Kai Blake wouldn't lose anything.

If it did sell, Kai Blake would make a killing!

"Okay, I'll set it up for you. Is a one - month time limit okay?"

Goblin Little Bro confirmed some details and finally put the stone up for auction in the [Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth] auction house.

The [Force of Nature Staff] that Kai Blake had reserved was finally delivered.

"We need to create a trading contract under the witness of the Secret Realm Spirit. It must be ensured that the buyer of this staff is a mage below level 30 and is enjoying the 50% discount from the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth for the first time..."

After signing several contracts, Goblin Little Bro summoned the Secret Realm Spirit, and the transaction was finally completed.

The slightly cumbersome procedures ensured that every transaction was as fair and just as possible.

After everything was done, the [Force of Nature Staff] was officially handed over to Kai Blake.

"Wish you a pleasant life. If you have any needs, feel free to contact me at any time!"

Goblin Little Bro watched Kai Blake leave the Trading Secret Realm.

A merchant who knew him well shouted, "Little Bro, where did you find this guy? He's actually willing to spend a fortune on upgradable equipment?"

Upgradable equipment was a bottomless pit for all merchants!

It was both expensive and not very useful, and extremely difficult to sell.

"Who knows?"

Goblin Little Bro shrugged and explained, "What if he can identify the advancement conditions?"

"What if? What if my future son - in - law is Shurason?"

"Stop daydreaming! There's no such luck!"

"Little Bro, you've made a lot today. Treat everyone to a drink!"

"..."

Kai Blake's transaction in the Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth was like a pebble dropped into the ocean, not causing any ripples.

After all, currently, all the discussion hotspots among the human race were about Shurason!

After leaving the Trading Secret Realm, Kai Blake took out the [Force of Nature Staff] and examined it carefully.

This staff, which had cost Kai Blake 80000 gold coins, was 1.2 meters long, pitch - black all over, made from an old tree struck by lightning. That's why it had bonuses for both the thunder and wood elements.

"Sure enough, it's a top - quality staff that can be advanced 12 times!"

[

Equipment: Force of Nature Staff (LV.10)

Rank: A - rank

Attributes: Intelligence + 25, Spirit + 15

Traits:

[Divine Wrath]The thunder - type damage of the staff holder is increased by 5%, the received thunder - type damage is increased by 10%, and the shield/healing provided by wood - type skills is increased by 10%

[Twin]When releasing a thunder - type skill, there is a 0.1% chance of simultaneously releasing a wood - type skill, and vice versa.

Advancement Traits:

[Death and Rebirth]It can be advanced after accumulating 1 million points of thunder - type damage or 1 million points of wood - type healing (the choice during the advancement process will affect the final advancement effect)

Number of Advanceable Times: 12

Number of Advanced Times: 0

]

The original price of the Force of Nature Staff was 180000 gold coins. The fact that [Divine Wrath] was a rare percentage - based damage - increasing trait raised the value of the entire equipment by a significant level.

Of course, what Kai Blake valued the most was the 12 - time advancement limit!

With each advancement, the equipment's level and attributes would see a qualitative leap, and there was also a certain probability of adding new traits!

As for the [Twin] trait, it was a bit of a letdown.

Kai Blake had transferred to the Thor Fury Mage (Thunder - type) class, and currently, he only mastered thunder - type skills and had few other means.

As for the advancement condition of [Death and Rebirth], dealing a million points of thunder - type damage was a piece of cake for Kai Blake.

Stacking [Ready to Strike] a dozen times and then releasing a Lightning Arrow would be enough.

"Unfortunately, on the first day of entering the Tower of Eternity, I can only try the newbie dungeon."

Kai Blake put the Force of Nature Staff back into his backpack and looked down at the tower mark on his arm.

Under the effect of Kai Blake's consciousness, the tower mark emitted a white light, once again enveloping Kai Blake's entire body.

The next second,

he was back in his home.

"Whoosh——"

"Finally back!"

Kai Blake picked up the water cup on the table and drank it all in one go.

Looking back on his first journey in the Tower of Eternity, Kai Blake felt that everything was so dreamy and unreal.

Awakening an SSS - rank talent, killing Cerberus, clearing the hidden level, achieving an SSS - rank clearance, and buying the Force of Nature Staff...

In just a few hours, Kai Blake's strength had undergone a qualitative leap!

Now, even if he encountered a slightly weaker battle soldier, he would be able to put up a fight!

Stretching his limbs, Kai Blake felt the changes in his body. The attributes from the Tower of Eternity were synchronized to the real world!

His five - dimensional attributes had all exceeded 100, and his physical fitness had been strengthened more than ten times!

Kai Blake did a simple test in the room.

He held his breath in a basin of water for 10 minutes without any discomfort. He even felt he could keep going.

Before the Tower of Eternity appeared, the world record for holding one's breath by a human was 24 minutes, and only a very small number of people could achieve such an extraordinary feat.

With the enhancement from the Tower of Eternity, Kai Blake could easily break various old - world records.

He even ran the 100 - meter dash in less than 10 seconds without warming up!

Of course, the enhancement of the Tower of Eternity was fair. Everyone on Blue Star was on the same starting line, and the old - world records had long been put aside and were no longer relevant.

Feeling the huge changes in his body, Kai Blake, who had just left the Tower of Eternity, was even looking forward to his next journey in the Tower of Eternity!

After excitedly finishing all the tests, Kai Blake took a cold shower and gradually calmed down.

Only then did he have the time to pay attention to the outside world.

He turned on his phone, and what greeted him were countless news headlines!

"This is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Kai Blake was still a bit shocked at this moment.

On Weibo's trending search, 34 out of the top 50 entries were related to Shurason!

The number - one trending topic: [Will Shurason be the next supreme powerhouse?]

The number - two trending topic: [[HADC] destroyed the fourth Demon Sect's main altar and killed three deputy leaders!]

The number - three trending topic:.....

"Demon Sect?"

Looking at the second item on the trending list, Kai Blake moved his finger and clicked on it.
