107: Reject Akaashi!

“I probably understand what’s going on now.”

As soon as Cheng Zhen spoke, the two brothers next to him immediately turned their heads.

How long had they been looking? And he already understood what was going on?

The brothers were a little surprised, but considering Cheng Zhen’s great achievements, it seemed quite reasonable?

“I believe that to get the Snow Condensation Essence to drop, it’s not necessary for the BOSS to devour two teammates, but rather to devour ‘humans’,” Cheng Zhen said. “It’s also possible that the more humans devoured, the higher the chance of it dropping.”

“?!”

Seeing the expressions on the two brothers’ faces change, Cheng Zhen quickly waved his hand and said, “Don’t get the wrong idea, my two teammates are still alive!”

“This ‘human’ doesn’t necessarily have to be a Raiders; it can also be a summoned creature!”

The brothers: “!!!”

Now their expressions weren’t solemn; they were excited.

Sacrificing a Raiders and sacrificing a summoned creature are two completely different things!

One less Raiders means one less, but summoned creatures can be summoned repeatedly!

There are quite a few summoners and titles that come with summoning skills. For example, there’s a person named Xiong Da whose skill is called [Your Strong One Has Arrived], and after activating the skill, he can summon a bald man wearing a felt hat and a vest uniform to secretly cut down trees.

If this could also be sacrificed, wouldn’t it be a huge profit for exchanging epic materials?

“However, I’m not sure how many summoned creatures need to be fed to guarantee the material drop,” Cheng Zhen reminded them.

He couldn’t remember how many times he had fed that Snow Giant Beast; he even seemed to have made the guy throw up once during that time.

If Men Lei enthusiastically sent people to feed it twice and it didn’t succeed, wouldn’t that be a waste of attempts and skills? So it’s definitely better to feed it more!

(Summoned Creature: benevolent king, heh…)

Team Leader Men? At this moment, he was already very tempted.

Only a fool would hesitate to use easily expendable items to try for precious materials!

Team Leader Men immediately activated his skill to find skill users who met the criteria.

First, he excluded skills that could only be summoned once per dungeon, then excluded non-human summoning skills…

Although the scope was narrow, fortunately, there were many Raiders, so some suitable ones were still selected.

Afterward, Team Leader Men and Cheng Zhen went over some dungeon details and discussed for a while.

“Brother, Cheng Zhen just finished the dungeon and came all this way to help you, and he gave such important information. Aren’t you going to show some appreciation?”

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Men Hao didn’t immediately activate his skill. Instead, he pulled Cheng Zhen with his left hand and his brother with his right, pushing both of them back into their chairs.

“What are you saying? How can I just take advantage of him for free?” Team Leader Men was speechless, feeling a strange sense of his own family turning against him.

I was the one who introduced Cheng Zhen to you!

You took him, and now you’re trying to exclude me in return?

“Cheng Zhen is young and doesn’t understand the market, but I do!”

Men Hao tapped the table, “If you still offer those points and rare items from before, don’t blame me for disregarding our brotherhood and exposing your secrets!”

Team Leader Men: “…Then tell me, what do you want?”

“Hmm, Cheng Zhen, what equipment are you still lacking now?” Men Hao asked.

Cheng Zhen knew his information was quite valuable, so there was no need to be polite. He directly said, “I need a torso armor. Other slots are fine too, but preferably equipment that can restore mental energy.”

“Alright, that’s how it is!” Men Hao looked at his brother, “Give us ten or eight epic pieces of equipment, and then just give us a few dozen of the Snow Condensation Essence that drop!”

Team Leader Men’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot: “I’m your brother, not a turtle in a wishing well!”

A few dozen? Why don’t you just dream, you’ll have everything in your dreams!

Cheng Zhen naturally knew Men Hao was joking, but his subtle reminder also got through to Cheng Zhen.

So, Cheng Zhen and Team Leader Men agreed that if his information was correct and could help the official Raiders consistently farm Snow Condensation Essence, Team Leader Men would reward Cheng Zhen with one epic torso equipment, plus two Snow Condensation Essence.

And Men Hao, through persistent persuasion, also got a few material trading slots from his brother to take back and hand over to the school.

The school was truly blessed to have him!

Men Hao hummed a song as he opened the door and escorted Cheng Zhen back to his dormitory.

“Thank you, Director Men!”

Cheng Zhen thanked him, and Men Hao just waved his hand, saying, “These are all minor matters; I should be thanking you for contributing to our school.”

“After your guides are published, our school will also have an extra contribution and honor with the officials; we’re benefiting greatly from you!”

“Director Men, how exactly should this Snow Condensation Essence be used? Is it for enhancing equipment, or is it an item or something?”

Knowing his personality, Cheng Zhen stopped being overly polite and asked about the specific use of the Snow Condensation Essence.

Those unsellable sandals were used to increase evasion probability with wind-attribute items and materials. If this epic material also had that use, Cheng Zhen didn’t seem to have any similar items or equipment in his possession.

“Its uses are many!”

Men Hao smiled, “High-level essences like Snow Condensation Essence can not only be used to enhance items and equipment, but even…”

“They can also enhance skills!”

Enhance skills?!

Cheng Zhen’s eyes widened instantly. Can skills also be enhanced?

“Of course they can.” Men Hao patted Cheng Zhen’s shoulder, “Originally, these things should be taught in freshman and sophomore year courses, but… ”

Who would have thought that Cheng Zhen, this child, would already be taking down BOSSes and getting epic materials before even enrolling…

Was the school’s curriculum problematic? No, it wasn’t. Of course, you have to teach people how to walk before you can teach them how to run and jump!

But Cheng Zhen, after only two steps, was already doing Thomas flairs and 360° front flips…

“However, the enhancement material must correspond to the skill’s attribute, otherwise, it will fail.”

Men Hao paused, then added, “Um, Cheng Zhen, I’m not very clear on what attribute your skill is, so it’s better if you don’t use it for now…”

This was said quite tactfully.

Cheng Zhen’s skill was simply silent; anyone who saw it was speechless.

“Understood.”

Cheng Zhen didn’t dwell on it. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, “Then, Director Men, can title skills be enhanced? The title skill I obtained in Misty Snow Ice City should be compatible with the material, right?”

“Of course, things from the same dungeon are naturally compatible!” Men Hao nodded.

Cheng Zhen was delighted: “Then, how should I use it?”

Men Hao pointed to his mouth: “Just eat it!”

Cheng Zhen: “?”

He looked down at the material, then at Men Hao, whose eyes were full of affirmation.

Eat???

Thinking of the material’s origin…

Cheng Zhen’s face turned green.

Who wants red stones, seriously!!!
