Chapter 236: Purchase of a Real Transcendent Item?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s special landing room in the Three Thousand Restaurant in the City of Humans…
Because the room made of the power of providence could freely expand, it didn’t feel crowded at all even though more than twenty people and almost a thousand spoils of war were inside.
“Old Meng, you’re quite famous among those youngsters!
“They said that you were the advisor in Xiangyang City, and you easily annihilated a great army with your plans… I almost regret that I didn’t go to the Battlefield of Providence with you.”
After Elder Jiao entered the room, he teased Elder Meng.
It was unnecessary to stress Elder Meng’s contributions in the Battlefield of Providence!
He was as good at planning and commanding as a real ancient advisor, or he wouldn’t have earned so many Civilization Coins during the checkout.
At the same time, Elder Jiao, Su Nongying, and the others had grown famous in the City of Humans too.
As the dealers of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, they were the people that the other settlements had to talk to if they wanted to make deals with the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
Also, Elder Jiao had advantages with his real ident.i.ty as an academician, so he was quite popular too.
“We’ll probably have enough people to share your job next time we go to the Battlefield of Providence. Elder Jiao, we’ll definitely take you to the Battlefield of Providence and let the enemy face the wrath of missiles.
“Well, let’s get down to business!”
Ji Ye smiled.
After that, he hinted for Su Nongying to host the meeting.
Of course, it wasn’t really a meeting, because Su Nongying simply informed everybody of the items that other settlements planned to barter with the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
In particular, she showed everybody the available items that contained Transcendent powers and let everybody see if they wanted any.
The battle partic.i.p.ants from the Twin Dragon Mount fort had each obtained more than one Transcendent item on the Battlefield of Providence.
However, the Transcendent items they got were not necessarily their perfect match.
Therefore, such deals were necessary.
It was the same for the thousand spoils of war.
Now that Su Nongying and the others had made a list of the items that the other settlements offered, it saved everybody a lot of time.
“Right, you can buy goods with Civilization Coins in the City of Humans this time.
“If the other settlements ask you to pay with Civilization Coins, don’t give them too many.”
At this moment, Su Nongying suddenly thought of something and reminded everybody.
“Huh? We can buy goods with Civilization Coins?”
Ji Ye was a little surprised.
Usually, “bartering” and “paying with Civilization Coins” were the two forms of deals in the City of Humans.
In the City of Humans last time, almost everybody had chosen bartering.
It was because they felt that the Civilization Coins weren’t really useful except when they paid for the ticket fees to enter the City of Humans and the Battlefield of Providence.
Also, as the battle partic.i.p.ants grew stronger and won Honor faster, it was inevitable that the Civilization Coins would depreciate.
Ji Ye was very curious about the new function of this item.
After all, he had altogether 100,000 Civilization Coins, which was a huge fortune!
Should he spend the 100,000 Civilization Coins, or should he save them in the Diamond Card? He didn’t need to think to make a decision.
There wouldn’t be any interest if he saved them in the card, like the money in a bank card on Earth.
On the other hand, if he were unfortunately killed before the City of Humans reopened next time, the Civilization Coins in his card would go to someone else’s pocket, exactly like what happened to the Eagle Man Boss and the beta tester.
“How can I purchase the items?” Ji Ye asked.
“Activate the purchase permission through the hostess, and then you can buy the items in our room…
“I’ll invite the hostess to come here!”
However, before Mister Bug, who had been deeply amazed by the purple-dressed manager’s beauty and still insisted that she was the real G.o.ddess after comparing her to Zhou Zhiruo and Little Dragon Maiden on the Battlefield of Providence, set off to take her back, the manager had already come to the door of the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s chamber.
“I was told that honorable guests have returned from the Battlefield of Providence.
“Congratulations. You must’ve received a lot from the Battlefield of Providence!”
Faced with Ji Ye, who invited him to enter the room, the manager smiled as warmly as before.
“We must thank you for your reminder, Manager Yu Long!”
Ji Ye expressed his grat.i.tude to the manager.
Indeed he should. Had it not been for the manager’s reminder, the Twin Dragon Mount fort wouldn’t have decided to enter the Battlefield of Providence the moment they arrived at the City of Humans.
In that case, Miss Panda’s settlement might have been faster than them, and they wouldn’t have reaped such a bountiful harvest.
According to their a.n.a.lysis, the setting of the Battlefield of Providence was probably decided by the first settlement to enter it.
For example, Elder Meng already mentioned that Guo Jing was an heir of one of the 108 generals in Water Margin and that the Battle of Xiangyang and the Twin Dragon Mount fort both belonged to the Song Dynasty…
“Okay, you only need to take out your City of Humans card to see the inventory of the items you can buy at any location in the Three Thousand Restaurant!”
After extending her finger and pointing out a dozen streaks of light to the people of the Twin Dragon Mount, the purple-dressed manager nodded.
“Check!”
The Diamond Card glittered before Ji Ye and projected a hologram in midair.
[“Your City of Humans card has activated the purchase function. Items available to you are as follows.”]
On the holograph was a list of items that had been reduced in size.
What Ji Ye saw first was a ring that emitted thick black air with a throne of bones engraved on it.
[Ring of the Undead]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-5]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: It’s from a human civilization from the kingdom of the undead. If you put it on, all the deceased souls will kneel before you.]
[Price: 88,888 Civilization Coins]
“A Transcendent item?”
The first attribute of the item was already shocking enough for Ji Ye.
This ring was not a “Special” item that contained Transcendent power, but an out-and-out Transcendent item.
Based on its description, it was clearly from human beings of another dimension, and it could control the undead creatures!
“Can we buy items that aren’t from our civilization?”
Ji Ye turned around and looked at Yu Long.
“That’s right!”
Yu Long nodded.
After Yu Long’s explanation, Ji Ye realized that the “purchase” was essentially the same as transforming items with the “Stone of Civilization” in his settlement, except that “Civilization Coins” were to be consumed instead.
On the other hand, the settlement core could only transform items that matched its background, and because the City of Humans was made of every human clan’s power of providence together, it was qualified to “exchange” for items from all those settlements.
“Items from human clans of all civilizations…”
After learning that, Ji Ye grew a lot more interested.
He kept browsing, only to find that the next item was a three-foot-tall pine tree whose rind was as twisted as scales.
[Dragon Pine Tree]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-5]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: It’s from the Nine Mystic Daoist Domain. It yields 36 fruits every hundred years, and all the fruits have the nature of dragons. If you eat them, you will get some of the dragon power!]
[Price: 88,888 Civilization Coins]
That should be from a deity cultivation civilization… The fruit could give the power of some sort of dragons.
Well… it could be easily ruled out.
This tree hadn’t yielded a single fruit yet. A wait of a hundred years would be too long. Even if it was boosted by the power of providence, it would still require a lot of time. It was definitely not the best choice.
The next item turned out to be a small translucent chip!
[Recipe to Awaken the Power of the “Immortal Phoenix”]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Perfect]
[Description: This is a drug from the Federation of SCP. It can modify one’s genetic structure and awaken the power of the Immortal Phoenix.]
[Price: 95,000 Civilization Coins]
Obviously, it was the product of a human civilization that focused on science and technologies.
There shouldn’t be many side effects, considering that the drug was developed by mankind!
Also, this was a recipe, and it would be possible to manufacture people with unusual powers with this recipe.
However, because it was a recipe, the problem was that the Twin Dragon Mount fort didn’t have any knowledge about such powers.
Even though he purchased the recipe, it would still require a lot of procedures to really create the drug.
The drug might not be able to be developed at all in the end, because the ingredients of the drug could be nonexistent in the settlements of Earth humans.
So, the recipe could only be ruled out.
After that, Ji Ye also saw “True Image of the East Emperor”, “Heart of the Apostles”, “Magic Transformative Armor”, and a bunch of other Transcendent special items
Also, they were at least Superior, and they all required more than eighty thousand Civilization Coins.
It was definitely a price that few people except him could afford.
“Few”, instead of “none”, could afford it, because “Civilization Coins” were exchangeable.
It was possible for several people to pool a hundred thousand Civilization Coins.
“However, in such a case, wouldn’t the Civilization Coins that we earned from the Battlefield of Providence be pointless?”
“No, they are still meaningful. The ‘goods’ that everybody sees are different, and so are their permissions to buy different items!”
Yu Long dropped a hint at the Diamond Card that was floating next to Ji Ye.
