“Magic items aren’t of much use to our settlement for the time being.”
Ji Ye snapped out of his daze and shook his head at Fatty Zhu.
The settlement of Twin Dragon Mount could be said to have history, myths, and even Daoist cultivation elements, but it really had nothing to do with magic.
Perhaps there were aliens from magic civilizations around, but magical crystals were temporarily useless at the moment.
“Hehe, that’s true!
“Then, Brother Ji, what resources did you bring? I’m very curious about what a historical novel like Water Margin has to offer.”
Fatty Zhu smiled smugly.
Although his status in the settlement was indeed inferior to Ji Ye’s, a gaming settlement like his had a very promising future.
After all, many equipment and characters in the game had the possibility of being converted!
In contrast, it was difficult to find any special resources around a historical settlement like Water Margin!
“Red Pip fruit. It directly enhances the body and blood essence power!”
“Stone Milk. It can directly enhance divine senses and mental strength!”
“Soul Fluid can directly enhance soul power!”
Ji Ye did not dawdle. He took out three items and a box containing the Soul Grass and placed them on the table!
“Oh my god, your settlement has a resource loophole, right?”
After picking up the top three items and checking their attributes, Fatty Zhu’s chubby face fell into a daze.
Initially, he had been planning to maintain his composure no matter what kind of “resources” Ji Ye offered. After all, this was an important step in many web novels he had read that allowed the protagonist to “pick up cheap deals” when making transactions.
However, he really couldn’t stay calm at the sight of those items!
The Ruby Crystals and Rejuvenation Beads in his settlement were undoubtedly useful on the battlefield, or in other words, could only be used when one was injured.
Although the effect was indeed outstanding, there were many restrictions, especially for settlements with extraordinary healing occupations such as the Church of Light and Druids. It was undoubtedly much less useful!
However, the items Ji Ye took out were definitely very attractive to any faction.
This was because these things could directly enhance one’s strength!
This was especially true for humans. At the current stage, the powers that could be used in battle were their physique, mind, and soul.
And Ji Ye alone had all three key resources in the bag.
Of course, strictly speaking, only the Red Pip fruit and Stone Milk were resources of Twin Dragon Mount. Soul Fluid was a specialty of the Soul race.
However, Ji Ye felt that he could rely on his Fusion talent to analyze its formula, so he brought some to the City of Humans.
However, Fatty Zhu obviously didn’t know this.
Isn’t Water Margin a historical settlement? The people inside shouldn’t have any extraordinary powers other than having greater strength, right?
Fatty Zhu’s narrowed eyes began to widen in confusion.
This was also what many people believed. They believed that the power system of Water Margin was extremely low.
However, in fact, Water Margin could even be said to be a low-quality version of Investiture of the Gods.
Not only were there “reincarnations of gods and devils” like the 36 Heavenly Spirits and the 72 Earthly Fiends, but there were also many unique people.
Calling the wind and summoning the rain, riding the clouds, traversing thousands of kilometers in a day, opening the third eye one the forehead, using a flying sword to kill, summoning a god… These appeared more than once in Water Margin.
Gongsun Sheng’s master, Perfected Luo, and Lu Zhishen’s master, Master Zhizhen, were special existences equivalent to the god-like Nanhua and Zuo Ci in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, when Song Gongming was in a deadlock during the battle against the Liao Kingdom, he was taught by the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens to break Liao’s strongest Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array.
However, because the 108 characters all had reincarnated bodies, most of them only had the powers of mortals. And it was also because of this that the “heroes” in Water Margin who had the potential of becoming immortals could be summoned at the current stage.
Fatty Zhu also made a huge mistake.
In this Land of Inheritance, the strength of a “hero” was mainly determined by the rank of the Soul of Civilization and their own rank.
For this reason, even if it was just a law clerk mentioned in a history book, they could still be described as capable of “imprisoning” Extraordinary creatures with the book.
It was also because of this that theoretically, even the demon kings and heavenly generals in Journey to the West would not be stronger than Perfect-level heroes like Lu Zhishen and Wu Song after their descent.
Soul Grass can actually treat soul injuries!
At this moment, Fatty Zhu noticed the attributes of the box of Soul Grass.
After dealing with the Souls, Twin Dragon Mount realized that they could plant Soul Grass in the Souls’ territory. It grew faster than in the wolf’s lair, so they brought more Soul Grass than the rest.
Many human settlements more or less had ways to treat physical damage, but special resources that could treat soul damage were definitely rare.
This was the case with Fatty Zhu’s settlement.
And it just so happened that there was an alien existence that had mastered soul attacks around them. In fact, this alien had already successfully advanced. Although there was no official declaration of war yet, there was already a conflict between the two parties. It was very likely that the battle would begin after he returned.
One of his core goals coming here was to find a way to deal with soul attacks.
As a result, the use of Soul Grass for his settlement was definitely not inferior to several resources that could enhance their strength.
In fact, it was even more important.
“How about it? The resources in our settlement are still passable, right? How do you think our transaction shall go?”
Ji Ye smiled at Fatty Zhu.
“It’s not easy to measure the value of a Civilization Coin. Let’s do a barter exchange.”
“Two Ruby Crystal for a Red Pip fruit or a bottle of Soul Fluid, or two boxes of Soul Grass.
“As for this Rejuvenation Bead, how about exchanging one for two Red Pip fruits or two bottles of Soul Fluid, or four boxes of Soul Grass?”
Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhu narrowed his eyes and grinned at Ji Ye.
His offer was a natural result of him noticing Ji Ye’s reaction. He felt that Ji Ye had his eyes on the Rejuvenation Bead and wasn’t very interested in the Ruby Crystal.
This Rejuvenation Bead was indeed very useful. It could save a life when necessary.
Furthermore, the Ruby Crystal could indeed replenish blood, but if one was injured too severely, simply replenishing blood was undoubtedly insufficient. The healing of wounds was most pertinent.
Therefore, even if Ji Ye bought the Ruby Crystals, he definitely had to buy the Rejuvenation Beads.
Therefore, he offered a higher price for the Rejuvenation Beads and reduced the price of the Ruby Crystals accordingly.
This was the transaction strategy that he had discussed with the other players in the settlement as well as the person with actual power among the natives.
Of course, Fatty Zhu deliberately placed a low price for something that he urgently needed like the Soul Grass, showing that he didn’t care about it. This was also a “transaction technique” that he had read about in some web novels where the protagonist had a 100% success rate.
“The Red Pip fruit and Soul Fluid exchange is fine.
“However, a box of Soul Grass for four Ruby Crystals or two Rejuvenation Beads!”
Ji Ye looked at Fatty with a beaming smile.
If it were anyone else, they might really have been fooled by Fatty Zhu.
However, with his pair of “eagle eyes”, Ji Ye could clearly see what Fatty Zhu really wanted even if his eyes were narrowed into slits.
