132: Scrolls, purchase alchemy equipment

"What's the price of that thing you're talking about?"

Hearing the hawking in his ear, Li An immediately walked up to a stall owner and asked.

The stall owner wore a large black robe, completely shrouding his appearance, making it impossible to see his face. Li An also observed the items sold at his stall: weapons, armor, and some tools, among other things.

Clearly, this was a sundries (miscellaneous) stall, and the owner mostly sold his personal items and spoils of war.

"Which one?"

Facing Li An's question, the stall owner merely raised his head slightly to look at Li An, then asked.

"The scroll, that scroll you mentioned."

"This one?"

"One hundred thousand paradise coins."

Hearing this, the stall owner, who was sitting on the ground, first froze, then quickly reacted, picking up a scroll from the stall in front of him and handing it to Li An.

Seeing this, Li An took the scroll. The moment his hand touched the scroll, he immediately received its information.

[Targeted World Scroll] (Information View Only)

Grade: Rare

Origin: Eternal Paradise

Type: One-time use scroll

Effect: Can enter Calamity-level, Disaster-level worlds via coordinates. Entry level cap: LV.50.

Price: 49999

...One hundred thousand?

Looking at the world scroll's information, Li An's face showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly understood.

Clearly.

This item was one of the stall owner's spoils of war, and the price of one hundred thousand was set by the stall owner himself.

Of course.

This didn't mean the item wasn't worth one hundred thousand paradise coins; it mainly depended on how the person who obtained it would use it. If they found a high-return, low-danger world, then a single trip's harvest could be several times the scroll's price.

Of course, everything depended on what kind of world the user chose to go to.

"I'll take it."

Li An didn't return the scroll to the stall owner; instead, as soon as he finished speaking, he sent a trade request to the other party.

The next second, the trade was immediately accepted. Li An's panel instantly showed one hundred thousand less paradise coins, and the scroll in his hand changed from 'Information View Only' to 'Held' status, indicating that the scroll had become Li An's property.

With the scroll in hand, Li An immediately prepared to turn and leave.

But the next second, to his surprise, the stall owner suddenly spoke up on his own.

"Friend, want to add contact info?"

"If I have good stuff in the future, I can contact you right away."

Hearing this, Li An's turning motion paused. After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded and said,

"Sure."

"Alright then, accept it."

At this moment, as the stall owner's words fell, a friend request notification sounded in Li An's ear. Without hesitation, he chose to accept it.

Li An also noticed the stall owner's nickname: Isaac!

"Next time I have good merchandise, I'll send you a copy."

"If you're interested, we can cooperate again."

The next second, perhaps seeing that his request had been accepted by Li An, Isaac immediately added another sentence, then no longer paid attention.

Seeing this, Li An didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

He currently had a huge sum of over a million paradise coins in his pocket. He had only spent one hundred thousand so far, so he still had plenty left.

Moreover, he finally had enough money to buy the Alchemy equipment he had always wanted. Li An now understood that Alchemy products were always in high demand within Death Paradise. While he didn't currently plan to sell Alchemy products, as his skill improved, selling products for profit would become inevitable.

Therefore, he needed to purchase a set of Alchemy equipment as soon as possible for his daily use and research.

The trading area was the same as the last time Li An visited; the entire trading area was a giant entertainment city, with all sorts of weapons and items displayed on exhibition stands, awaiting their next owners.

Li An's gaze swept across the area. He didn't pay much attention to these items. These items had been consigned here by their original owners for so long that anything useful would have been taken away long ago. What remained were either junk or items that were extremely dangerous and expensive, beyond the means of ordinary people.

Even so, people frequently browsed in the trading area, calling it 'treasure hunting.' After all, no one knew if, with a stroke of luck, they might suddenly find a valuable item and strike it rich.

Li An was in the same mindset at this time. He could have directly filtered for the required Alchemy equipment through his panel, but he also held the hope of finding a good deal, wanting to try his luck to see if he could find anything good.

However, the facts proved that Li An's luck wasn't as good as he imagined. After an hour of browsing, Li An, gradually losing patience, decided not to continue browsing and instead began searching for the items he needed directly through his panel.

Soon, Li An found the items he needed through the filter, and among them were the three items he had seen last time but couldn't afford.

These three were the Elemental Fusion Device, Soul Extractor, and Soul Purifier. The difference this time was that Li An didn't purchase the initial models, i.e., Type I, that he had seen last time.

He was now wealthy. Since he had the money, he naturally wanted to buy higher-level models. This would not only increase the success rate during Alchemy but also result in higher product concentration.

...This time, Li An directly acquired the advanced models of these items, but this was only the beginning. These three items were truly only auxiliary equipment. He still needed other main Alchemy equipment.

Half an hour later.

Li An's wallet rapidly shrank. The original one million-plus paradise coins now only had 217,543 paradise coins left.

Although he felt a pang of heartache, Li An didn't dwell on it too much. He had purchased all the necessary items for Alchemy this time, and even most of the required materials, only lacking one extremely rare material.

This time, Li An had clearly decided what he wanted to create, but as of today, he had not yet personally performed the operation. Therefore, he was not in a hurry; he still needed to practice and accumulate some experience.
