The [Transfer Hall] is made of pure Hell Gold.

The walls are carved with various forms of golden skulls, beneath which grow bodies like those of infants.

A golden skeleton stands in the center.

The skeleton has four arms, each pointing in a different direction, and each arm has related text engraved on its surface.

"Construction Area" - Special construction related to the body can be performed. Customers who seek special construction at the physical level, or those whose bodies are missing and need to be supplemented with special external equipment, can go to this area to make purchases.

"Customization Area" - a high-end area where customers can purchase raw materials for Customization Area and pay extra fees to hire artisans from the Chamber of Commerce to create custom designs for individual consumers.

"Agreement Area" - Individuals who are allowed to enter the Chamber of Commerce but whose contributions are insufficient need to go to this zone first to sign agreements related to loans, contribution exchanges, etc.

The Gate Manuscript recovered from Luo Di, and the black scimitar used by Korlion, can be exchanged here for a certain percentage of "Temporary Contribution (valid only for the day)".

The "Merchandise Area" - the finished product sales area - is the area most consumers choose.

After exchanging Temporary Contribution in the Agreement Area, Luo Di quickly headed to the Merchandise Area.

As for the Customization Area, there's no need to think about it; it's not something he can afford right now.

All that's needed now is to find a somewhat suitable weapon. Luo Di isn't picky; he can use either a knife or an axe.

Stepping into the Merchandise Area feels like entering a golden market.

However, there are no stalls or counters here; all the goods for sale are placed on "human mannequins," which are actually skeletons.

These skulls were arranged neatly between the chambers of commerce, spaced five meters apart.

Or holding weapons,

Or they might be wearing armor or special leather clothing.

Or wearing jewelry,

Or perhaps they are holding some mysterious props of unknown purpose in their hands.

If consumers are unsure of the exact price, they can simply ask the skulls or place the back of their hand on one of them.

If it turns red, it indicates that the consumer's contribution is insufficient and they are unable to make a purchase.

Blue indicates that the consumer's contribution has just met the target, and once they make a purchase, they will exhaust all their assets and have to leave.

Green indicates that consumers have made ample contributions and are able to continue shopping after purchasing items.

"Is this what they call ' Hell Weapon '?"

Luo Di arrived at the section labeled with weapons. The skeletons here were all holding weapons with relatively exaggerated designs, some of which deviated from Luo Di's understanding of weapons.

In addition to conventional cold weapons, there are also firearms specially made for hell, which are similar to human firearms.

Special bullets can be fired by pulling the trigger, and some bullets even require the flesh and blood of the person holding them to be supplied.

Luo Di's gaze was quickly drawn to a distinctive battle axe.

The battle axe itself exuded a strong murderous aura, and even trembled slightly as it smelled the blood and flesh of passing customers, as if it wanted to chop everyone down.

A closer look will reveal the unique construction of this battle axe.

1. The "axe handle" is made from the condensed tail vertebrae of several Wanted Criminal.

2. Using the Chamber of Commerce's special Smelting technology, the cervical vertebrae of a large number of Wanted Criminal were Smelting alive, preserving their bloodthirsty consciousness in life, and were melted into the final "axe". A certain proportion of high-purity volcanic rock was added to enhance its hardness.

The decorative carvings with serrated edges are used to highlight the features.

Spine, metal, bloodlust, slaughter.

All of these characteristics perfectly match Luo Di's.

Although Luo Di has never used an axe before, his background as a serial killer and his talent will surely allow him to quickly adapt to axe-type weapons.

certainly,

These weapons, made from the corpses of Wanted Criminal, have also attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the Spine Cult.

As Luo Di stepped forward, his back began to twitch, as if resonating perfectly with the axe.

But when Luo Di placed his right hand on the skull's arm, it turned red.

Agatha was also somewhat surprised. "Luo Di, your contribution should be more than enough. It's just that this axe is probably of very high quality and will be much more expensive than ordinary weapons."

If you're really keen on it, you could try applying for a loan; with your talent, getting a loan from the Chamber of Commerce shouldn't be a problem.

"No need, let's look at something else."

When Luo Di saw the red indicator, his previously feverish brain instantly calmed down, and upon careful consideration, he realized that this axe might not be suitable.

It's too big; you need to use both hands to use it.

He's more suited to the berserker on the battlefield than a murderer like him.

His gaze continued to sweep over the remaining equipment in the venue.

A butcher's knife of suitable size and weight, and priced within Luo Di's budget. But the knife was biased against the tumor-ridden people, its blade constantly dripping corrosive pus.

Other weapons, such as spears, cannons, and hammers, which are related to killing, do not meet Luo Di's requirements for weapons.

The initial excitement of arriving at the Chamber of Commerce gradually faded. Despite its seemingly large scale, finding a weapon that met one's expectations and was reasonably priced was actually quite difficult.

Hell Demon mostly prefer large and thick objects, while Luo Di's choice leans towards the one-handed weapon used by the movie serial killer.

Just as Luo Di was about to reach the end of the weapons section, he unexpectedly discovered a special area extending out from there, where the skulls on display were all painted black.

"Agatha, what do those black skulls mean?"

Agatha, who was carefully observing a certain stick, immediately turned her gaze over, jogged over, and looked at the dimly lit extended area behind her.

"In layman's terms, it should be classified as the ' Second-hand Area."

The weapons sold there were not brand-new products made by the merchant guild, but rather used ones, and the marks left on the items could not be erased.

These goods are the relics of powerful beings who died in hell.

Their consciousness may still remain on it, or the weapon itself may have a cognitive seal.

Most of them are first sold at low prices by Taobao sellers to the Chamber of Commerce. After the Chamber of Commerce determines the completeness and specific value of the weapons, they are then sent here for resale.

Because this weapon is difficult to control, its price will be discounted.

Some extremely difficult-to-handle techniques will be significantly less effective.

If these relics and weapons cannot be sold within a certain period of time, they will be destroyed and recycled as raw materials.

Luo Di, you can go take a look; you might find some treasure. Of course, you must never force these things. If a weapon shows any resistance to you, even just a slight one, it cannot be used.

When it comes to a true life-or-death struggle, even the slightest mistake can lead to your death.

"Um."

Luo Di went around to the so-called Second-hand Area, where there were noticeably fewer customers.

Most the Devil had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, or rather, they were well aware that it was difficult to gain any advantage from the merchant guild.

At first, Luo Di still didn't see any good weapons. It was still a matter of size; the large ones were too big, and the small ones were more suited for assassination.

Just as he was about to finish browsing the Second-hand Area, a strangely shaped object caught his eye; it couldn't even be called a weapon.

"Huh? The Chamber of Commerce sells defective products?"

In the hand of a blackened skeleton, there was a knife handle wrapped in a flesh-colored rag; that was all there was, nothing else.

The rag seemed to be covered with strange Curse Seal drawn in blood, and it exuded an inexplicable aura of danger.

Luo Di noticed it not only because of the incompleteness, but also because he sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

As he approached, his tongue slowly curled up and seemed to bounce.

Curiosity urged Luo Di to approach the skeleton in the corner, wanting to observe it closely and even touch the hilt-shaped object.

Just as he leaned forward,

The mannequin skeleton used to display weapons suddenly opened its mouth, and a drafty sound came from inside:

"This weapon is cursed; touching it is risky! Please review this document carefully before deciding whether to touch it."

Once affected by the curse, this guild will not bear any responsibility. If you die within the guild, your body will be donated by default.

"Huh? It can talk?"

"I'm an employee of the Chamber of Commerce, of course I can speak up. Hurry up and take a look! I hope you can buy this; I just want to get off work early."
