Zheng Yichen, playing mahjong with Arno, felt like Dusk on this side was pretty slack too?
"So they really don’t care about anything that doesn’t happen on their own doorstep, huh."
Arno looked at Zheng Yichen’s reaction and couldn’t help but smile, "That’s just how it is, as long as the local Dusk Cathedral’s associated worlds aren’t affected, the local Dusk won’t interfere."
As he said this, he glanced at the other Dusk rcenaries present and continued, "As far as I know, although there are many Dusk rcenaries on our side, the number of Proxy Agents is not so great, probably no more than five."
It’s normal for there to be relatively more Proxy Agents. In other worlds, it’s difficult enough to find a few Dusk rcenaries, let alone a Proxy Agent. It’s easy to understand why Proxy Agents frequently appear in Hazy City. There are simply more anomalies, more people courting death, encountering Boundary Breakers or people from the Equilibrium Faction.
And they turn out to be Proxy Agents? Eh, if it’s a Boundary Breaker, they’re more likely to silence them.
"Moreover, these Proxy Agents seem to be all greenhorns, none of them have appeared for more than two years, and you’re the latest."
"Uh, well, I didn’t really want to beco a Proxy Agent. Being a Dusk rcenary is quite good," Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched, to be honest, this identity wasn’t comfortable: "The Great World of the Boundary Breakers doesn’t have Dusk rcenaries?"
"That place? Dusk rcenaries wouldn’t survive there." Arno smiled helplessly, "I’ve encountered so peers who know a bit about it. Over there in the Great World, Dusk has tight surveillance, and if Dusk rcenaries go to that world, they either hide in the Dusk Territory and never leave, or if they go out, they’re done for."
When the ti ca and they had finished this round of mahjong, they all prepared their own stuff. The Zero Point Marketplace was about to start, and Zheng Yichen took out the items he’d prepared from his storage locker, so amulets and the like, mainly for recovery, protection, and blessings.
There were so curses, too, but those weren’t made with his hair.
Besides that, there were so Magic Potions...
Developed by the witches, these unstable Magic Potions, like a bottle of potion the color of magma, were nad Dragon’s Breath Magic Potion. Drinking it would allow the user to spew a Dragon Breath once, but it tended to scorch the user’s stomach, lungs, and throat.
And if not expelled within a certain ti fra, it would severely harm the user themselves.
There were also various other Magic Potions. Once the resources were sufficient, the two witches at ho had done plenty of experinting, and those things needed to be dealt with.
So needed destroying, so they planned to trade indirectly through provided trade channels with the Ahn family, while others were brought by Zheng Yichen, as these potions were quite suitable for animal testing.
If so animals could withstand it, surely humans could too.
"You went to a world of magic?" Arno was a bit surprised as he looked at the items Zheng Yichen had taken out. He briefly checked an amulet and then fell silent.
Items from the world of magic had their own characteristics, and the amulet in his hand looked very magical, but so parts of the materials seed like the products of modern industrialization: "What’s this do?"
"It enhances the carrier’s recovery rate, allows breaking through the carrier’s biological limits, but the downside is getting very hungry after being injured," Zheng Yichen looked at the amulet as he spoke.
"Nice gadget." Arno nodded, breaking through the carrier’s biological limits could be interpreted as regrowth of limbs: "How efficient is it?"
"Missing an arm or leg definitely won’t recover that fast, it would probably take at least half a month? But ordinary injuries can heal quite quickly."
"That’s pretty good too. Are you selling this thing for money or trading for other items?" Arno didn’t ask about rit points, this thing wasn’t worth them.
"So special materials, items imbued with power are both okay for trade."
Arno nodded, raw material collection, huh? That was perfectly normal. Dusk rcenaries could indeed process and produce various items through the Dusk Territory, but that kind of processing didn’t need money. But if it exceeded certain standards, it then required rit points.
And for things below a certain level, there wasn’t much difference between getting them made by Dusk or by hiring soone else.
But it would cost more money with Dusk.
In any case, materials, unless they’re really top-notch or needed for transitional use, if not necessary, looking for so professionals to make them was also a good option. Every Dusk rcenary had so materials in their possession, especially those who already had a full set of equipnt.
To strengthen their own equipnt, they should add better materials, not lower-grade ones, which wouldn’t be of much use. Not to ntion, once making equipnt was involved, the starting price would be one rit point.
"Speaking of materials, I’ve got quite a few as well. I think a lot of Dusk rcenaries would be willing to trade for a nice and useful little gadget like this." Hunter Arno then inquired about the effects of the other amulets.
The specifications of these amulets weren’t large; they conford to the standard of small ornants, and if possible, one could hang a bunch on oneself. However, after having the sa effective properties, the stacking potential of amulets was rather low. The benefit wasn’t additive in a 1 1 fashion, but rather you’d get additional percentage increases based on the best amulet you had.
It seed that wearing a bunch could produce a strong cumulative effect, but in reality, this additional increase would diminish with the number of amulets, reducing the rate at which benefits improved.
Most of the ti one amulet was enough, of course, different effects wouldn’t have this problem.
Portable, with decent effects, preparing a combination when going out was quite good. Recovery goes without saying, it’s always useful. Protection could resist weak physical attacks and certain degrees of elental attacks, while blessing amulets could counteract curses, resisting so abnormal influences.
And with their small size, they were a must-have when stepping out!
"They’re just a bit pricey!" muttered a Dusk rcenary, who had assud these trinkets wouldn’t cost much. But when it actually ca to trading, he discovered the price exceeded his prediction by several tis over.
This Dusk rcenary was rely voicing a complaint; he would definitely still buy the item. Such auxiliary small items were very useful. They weren’t particularly strong, but they were of high quality. Besides, Zheng Yichen had pointed out that the material of these amulets was quite special, possessing regenerative properties.
That is to say, unless directly destroyed, the power bestowed upon these objects wouldn’t easily fade. As long as they weren’t malevolently damaged, they could easily resist the effects of ti, eliminating concerns of needing extra charging after prolonged use.
Under the watchful eyes of Dusk, they knew Zheng Yichen was speaking the truth.
That made them worth purchasing. Not to ntion the recovery ones, protection and blessing amulets that could provide special protections naturally involved so consumption, but these amulets could avoid that to so extent. How could they not buy as many as possible?
There were also those magic potions with sowhat unstable effects. Initially, Zheng Yichen was selling them, but later on, they pretty much beca giveaway items. After purchasing an amulet, throw in a little extra and you could walk away with a bottle or two.
Of course, the ones with better effects were still separately priced.
By the way, when these Dusk rcenaries exchanged amulets, they mostly aid for sets of three. Arno did the sa; his reasoning was simple: since these items didn’t take up much space, stringing them on a cord and wearing them around the neck as a necklace would suffice.
No need to stop at three, one could even wear thirty if desired. If not for the diminishing returns of stacking these types of items, soone would indeed consider wearing thirty.
Zheng Yichen also found so suitable items here.
"This is a branch from the Tree of Death. If you want it, it’s yours for 2 rit points," said a Dusk rcenary with grizzled hair and a beard, looking exceptionally weathered.
"That expensive?" Zheng Yichen was taken aback by the pricing of the item. If it was really sothing good, he wouldn’t mind spending twenty million to obtain it, but rit points... those were truly hard to co by.
"You think it’s expensive? I think it’s expensive too. You see how old I look?" The Dusk rcenary complained, his grievance not directed at Zheng Yichen but at a different issue.
Zheng Yichen sized up the Dusk rcenary before him uncertainly. "Nine... seventies? Sir, you’re indeed aging like fine wine."
"Pah! I’m not even thirty yet!" The Dusk rcenary retorted irritably, "It’s this thing that made like this. To be completely healed on the side of Dusk, you need rit points, so tell , is this thing worth it or not?"
"That also depends on how this thing is used." Zheng Yichen glanced over at Tia not far away; these nuns were what they called witnesses of Dusk.
You can ask the nuns to witness, but it would cost money.
"Hmph, this thing cos from Hell. If I had known that snapping off a branch from that tree would cost this much, I wouldn’t have done it," grunted the Dusk rcenary. Apart from the draining of life force, he was also afflicted with a curse that stripped him of his lifespan. The normal draining of life force wouldn’t cost so much to treat in Dusk.
If he could offer so materials containing life force, the price could be reduced, but lifespan stripping was different; it was a very powerful curse.
Either he needed to prepare stronger items targeting curses or other things, or he had to solve the problem by spending rit points. Such a curse could directly reduce his upper limit of lifespan.
If he didn’t resolve this issue quickly, he wouldn’t have much longer to live, perhaps only another three to five years.
"But this item isn’t easy to sell either, right? Buying it and then processing it further would also require the expenditure of rit points."
Zheng Yichen weighed the item in his hand, feeling a slight draining of life force, sowhat similar to the initial Sword of Hell. This item was undoubtedly valuable, but the question was how to make the best use of it?
Although there were many Dusk rcenaries in the world of Hazy City, it seed that none of them knew magic. Trading with Dusk rcenaries from other worlds? That depended on whether he encountered soone who needed this item and if he could also complete tasks during the transaction.
Zheng Yichen began to haggle. He was quite keen on the item, but he wasn’t necessarily willing to spend 2 rit points to get it. Arno noticed Zheng Yichen’s situation but didn’t co over to interfere. It was one of the rules of the Zero Point marketplace.
