28: The Trading Bureau is specifically designed to rip off Su Lie! Flying sword crafting blueprints!
"Boss Su Lie! I have a Flying Sword Manufacturing Blueprint here. This blueprint creates a Flying Sword of green fine quality."
"...Based on the requirement of a single filling meal, I need to trade for a minimum of 1,000 meals worth of food, plus 1 Flying Sword crafted according to this blueprint!"
"If you need it, please enter through the entrance below!"
"I invited a Survivor with the Auctioneer class from the Chat Channel to help me set this up!"
"Entering this window, every person participating in the auction must pay 1 Mist point!"
Su Lie's eyelid twitched as he looked at the content of the private message: "A Flying Sword! I must go check it out!"
What caught his attention, however, was this.
The Auctioneer class could actually gain partial administrative authority through the Chat Channel.
They could also earn Mist Points this way.
This truly is a good profession that provides lasting benefits!
[Buzz!]
[You need to spend 1 Mist point to enter a private auction group. Do you wish to enter?]
[Warning: This private auction group was established by a god-tier professional Auctioneer using their own authority! It is not an official mist rule group, and the mist rule is not responsible for any fraudulent behavior that occurs!]
[Warning: private auction groups carry a certain risk of being located. Please use with caution!]
[Warning: private auction groups possess functions such as video chat, virtual auction, face-to-face trade, and asset verification!]
[Warning: private auction groups are not regulated by the mist rule.]
Looking at the prompt below.
Su Lie made his choice: "Yes!"
Buzz!
The next second, he entered a page with only seven or eight people.
Then, an invitation prompt appeared before Su Lie.
[Zhang Hao invites you to join the video auction. Please choose between joining via voice or joining via video?]
"join via voice!"
Su Lie replied without hesitation.
Video could leak too much intelligence information.
He would absolutely not use this method.
The next second.
He entered a page.
On the page, there were 5 participants, 1 auctioneer, and 1 initiator.
All eight of their names were replaced by codenames.
Su Lie's side was Number 6.
Everyone here had chosen voice chat.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the auctioneer began displaying the blueprint.
[Flying Sword Manufacturing Blueprint: green fine quality. Requirements: Spirit 500; Damage +500 points; 1 Random Effect; Flight Speed: 10 meters per second; Limit Speed: 50 meters per second; Maximum Flight Distance: 50 meters;]
[Requirements: 500 units of iron, 1,000 monster crystals.]
"Everyone, the reserve price for this auction should already be clear: 1,000 portions of filling food plus 1 Flying Sword! bidding will only increase the food quantity, and each bid increase must not be less than 100 portions of food. Those who agree to this the rules, please start bidding!"
The auctioneer said solemnly.
"2,000!"
"3,000!"
..."Give me a break! You're a bunch of damn scammers!"
Number 4 couldn't help but speak up.
The auctioneer said sternly: "Friend! If you don't have resources, please watch in silence! Otherwise, I will have no choice but to forcibly expel you!"
"Damn it! Do you really think you're hot stuff? I'm a Classifier, I can distinguish true from false! It's understandable if you use two scammers to raise the price, but isn't this too ruthless? At this stage, who the hell has this many resources!"
Number 4 swore under his breath.
Seeing this, the auctioneer quickly expelled Number 4.
As soon as Number 4 left.
Number 3 and Number 5 also left the auction group one after another.
The atmosphere at the auction instantly became stifled.
Only then did Su Lie realize that this was a damn scam targeting him.
However.
He genuinely wanted this Flying Sword.
After a few seconds of silence, Su Lie said: "Your blueprint is indeed good! If you want to sell it, list it on the Trading Center for 500 big hairy chestnuts! That's the maximum I can offer!"
After speaking.
He immediately logged out.
A Flying Sword is every man's dream.
But he could still distinguish between reality and dreams.
He would never willingly step into a trap and let others fleece him.
Anyway, he had resources when he needed them, and strength when he needed it, so he didn't lack a Flying Sword.
After Su Lie exited the auction group.
A message was sent over again.
This time it was sent by the auctioneer, Zhang Hao.
"Boss Su Lie, please don't blame me! I was entrusted by someone and signed an auction agreement, which led to this setup! Please don't hold it against me! I will specially return 10 times the Mist Points as compensation! Please forgive me!"
This private message also included a gift attached.
After Su Lie accepted the gift, he received 10 Mist Points.
"What kind of 'feigning reluctance to get what you want' is this?"
Su Lie no longer trusted the other party.
Just then, a targeted trade appeared in Su Lie's view.
Immediately following that.
He saw someone in the Chat Group directly calling out to him.
"Boss Su Lie! I apologize! I have initiated a targeted trade with you, using the price you mentioned!"
Next, that Classifier started swearing loudly.
"Damn it! Stinking scammers! Trash! You're utterly disgusting! Today, I'm going to expose the true faces of you despicable villains..."
This person posted a long exposé, causing a large number of Survivors to curse them out.
The instigator did not appear.
Su Lie glanced at the message, entered the Trading Center, and found the order.
He looked at the Flying Sword blueprint in the order.
[Flying Sword Manufacturing Blueprint: white common quality. Requirements: Spirit 100; Damage +5 points; Flight Speed: 1 meter per second; Maximum Flight Distance: 3 meters;]
[Requirements: 100 units of iron, 100 monster crystals.]
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn! They can even fake this kind of thing? I think that auctioneer shouldn't be called an auctioneer anymore; they should be called a Faker!"
This was simply the difference between heaven and earth compared to what was displayed earlier.
It was too much trash!
No wonder the other party wanted to auction it off!
Saying this.
He immediately completed the transaction.
Cursing is one thing!
But the Flying Sword was indeed what he wanted.
And it met his psychological expectation.
The next second.
A white quality Flying Sword Manufacturing Blueprint appeared in his hand.
Subsequently, Su Lie performed Enhance on the blueprint.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
After five instances of Enhance.
The Flying Sword Manufacturing Blueprint had transformed into Red God-level Quality.
Its usage requirements became Spirit 2,000 points; Damage +1,000 points; Flight Speed: 100 meters per second; Maximum Flight Distance: 100 meters;
Requirements: 1,000 units of iron, 1,000 monster crystals, 10 sheets of any kind of insect molting, 1 sheet of mist fierce beast hide, and 3 liters of mist fierce beast blood.
"This really seems tailor-made for me!"
Su Lie couldn't help but laugh; he actually possessed all these materials.
Subsequently.
He took out the exchange voucher rewarded for completing the Opportunity Mission.
[Buzz!]
[Do you wish to place wood*5000, Stone*5000, and iron*5000 in your designated location?]
"Yes!"
Su Lie pointed the storage area towards the corner directly opposite the iron door.
Buzz!
A flash of light appeared inside the Shelter.
Massive amounts of resources were neatly stacked on the open ground, orderly piled up to be level with the Shelter's roof.
In the blink of an eye.
Su Lie's Shelter became crowded.
The Little Skeletons watched this scene in shock.
They all turned their heads and kowtowed and bowed down to Su Lie.
Su Lie gave instructions to the Little Skeletons, telling them to transport the corresponding materials to the open ground opposite the bed.
Very quickly.
The Little Skeletons finished transporting the materials.
Su Lie then brought 10 sheets of Heart-Drilling Insect Molting, 1 sheet of White Wolf Hide, and about 3 liters of White Wolf Blood, placing them next to the iron and monster crystals.
After he used the Flying Sword Manufacturing Blueprint.
Buzz!
A beam of light enveloped all the materials.
About 3 seconds later.
A hiltless flying sword, about 30 centimeters long, appeared in Su Lie's view.
Seeing this, Su Lie reached out and grasped the Flying Sword.
The moment his fingers touched the Flying Sword, a sharp pain appeared on his fingertip...
