"The limit for True Spirit Awakening was actually five times. As expected of equipment from a Cave Beast Priest's treasure chest..."
Chu Danqing looked at the appraisal results, delight written across his face.
This long saber, Regret of the Kin-Eater, had a full five awakenings. The final one could even directly promote it into Fine Grade equipment.
After Common and Excellent Grade came Fine Grade. That was within expectations.
Regret of the Kin-Eater True Spirit List
First Awakening · Hunger of the Kin-Eater (Passive): Sharpness +10
Second Awakening · Pain to the Bone (Passive): When attacking skin, deal an additional 10 damage.
Third Awakening · Attack Power attribute +5
Fourth Awakening · Claws of Resentment (Passive): Sharpness +20
Fifth Awakening · Quality promoted to Fine Grade
"Looks like I can trade it for some decent Summoning System resources." The joy on Chu Danqing's face was impossible to suppress.
However, the cost of awakening a True Spirit made his teeth ache. The first True Spirit Awakening alone required 1,000 Paradise Points. The price was simply too high.
Good thing he was planning to sell it. If he had to awaken it himself, the little Paradise Points he had left probably would not be enough for many awakenings.
Compared to the Horse Pike, the long saber would be easier to sell.
After putting away Regret of the Kin-Eater, Chu Danqing continued appraising the other equipment. Appraisals were free.
Chu Danqing could only say that Dimension Paradise was truly generous.
Just as he had expected, the Wolf Fang Necklace, White Wool Robe, and Silver Scale Cloud Brocade had no True Spirits.
But White Dragon Fish's Roar actually had one.
"What a pity. My contribution and participation back then were too low, so the White Dragon Fish treasure chest was low quality." Chu Danqing sighed.
"Otherwise, the equipment it dropped should have had the same five-awakening limit as Regret of the Kin-Eater."
The information he had bought earlier explained that the quality of dropped treasure chests changed according to an Apostle's participation and contribution.
If the natives participated too much, the quality would drop sharply.
The value of items obtained from such treasure chests would also be heavily discounted.
White Dragon Fish's Roar True Spirit List
First Awakening · White Dragon Fish Body (Active): Consume 10 Energy to gain the White Dragon Fish's physical enhancement. Gain 5 Constitution for 1 minute. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Second Awakening · Minimum Attack Power +5
Third Awakening · White Dragon Fish Soul (Active): Consume all Energy to deal damage equal to (Strength × Constitution + Energy consumed). If White Dragon Fish Power is held and White Dragon Fish Body is active, it becomes area-of-effect damage. Cooldown: 72 hours.
"The Horse Pike will be hard to sell."
"It might even end up gathering dust in my hands." Chu Danqing looked at the True Spirit list. Although the first awakening only cost 500 Paradise Points, its Energy consumption was high.
And in terms of enhancement, it was far inferior to Regret of the Kin-Eater.
That one directly increased Attack Power by 5. After awakening, it would have 20–25 Attack Power, while White Dragon Fish's Roar only raised the lower limit. Even after awakening, its 15–20 Attack Power merely caught up with an unawakened Regret of the Kin-Eater.
Not to mention that the third awakening directly emptied all Energy and had a cooldown of seventy-two hours, while also requiring two statuses as prerequisites.
It had far too many flaws.
"Only a specific group of people would need it. I wonder if I'll run into any."
"If not, I can only keep it as a buff machine."
If he could not sell it, he planned to give White Dragon Fish's Roar its first awakening. Five points of Strength and Constitution did not last long, but for Da Bao, it was indeed a considerable boost.
After that, Chu Danqing went to set up a stall at Apostle Plaza.
He did not set a price. Instead, he specified barter only, limited to Summoning System and healing-related items.
After listing Regret of the Kin-Eater and White Dragon Fish's Roar, he thought for a moment and added the Wolf Fang Necklace as well.
In his eyes, this Common Grade equipment was somewhat useless.
Da Bao relied entirely on instinct and intuition when killing, so there were very few chances to use it.
As for Chu Danqing, one second was too short for him and offered barely any help.
He might as well trade it for something useful.
After setting up the stall, Chu Danqing had Da Bao watch it while he went to find a Life Apostle with a tailoring Basic Skill, asking them to sew the Silver Scale Cloud Brocade lining into the White Wool Robe.
Previously, when it was not equipment and merely ordinary clothing, Chu Danqing could mess around with it himself. But the White Wool Robe was Excellent Grade equipment. He did not dare take the risk; if it got damaged, he would have nowhere to vent his tears.
He quickly found the right Life Apostle. After some discussion, it would only cost 100 Paradise Points, and he could collect it the next day.
There was no need to worry about the other party damaging it either. Once a deal was made with a Life Apostle, Dimension Paradise would notarize it. If the equipment was damaged due to the other party, they would have to compensate him at full value.
Even if they had no Paradise Points, it was fine. Dimension Paradise would pursue compensation on his behalf.
Before that, there would be discussion first. For example, if the other party could not provide Paradise Points, they could compensate him with equipment or items to reach a settlement.
Only if no settlement could be reached would there be subsequent matters such as third-party recovery.
By the time Chu Danqing returned to his stall, Da Bao was struggling to communicate with an Apostle wearing Cataphract Armor.
"Sorry, I had something to take care of just now. You want this Horse Pike, right?" Chu Danqing hurriedly took over.
"Next time you have someone watch your stall, find a smarter summon." The other party spoke stiffly. "3,000 Paradise Points. I'll take it."
"I'm afraid that won't work. I only trade for items of equivalent value from the Summoning System or healing-related items." How could Chu Danqing agree?
Judging by the other party's appearance, he was undoubtedly a heavily armored knight.
In that case, every flaw of White Dragon Fish's Roar became an advantage at this moment.
How he had found Chu Danqing was simple. The center of Apostle Plaza could search every stall, with both custom and fuzzy searches available.
Selling things was convenient, but buying things was even more convenient.
Not everyone chose to wait for a rabbit by a tree stump like Chu Danqing. Apostles with thicker wallets would take the initiative.
"Other than me, no one else will buy your Horse Pike. Three thousand isn't low," the other party said.
Chu Danqing shook his head. "It has a three-awakening limit, three Active Skills, and they're even combination skills."
"Even if I can't sell it, I can use it as a buff."
The buff duration was short for Chu Danqing, but if a heavily armored knight activated it during a charge before reaching the enemy, the effect would be entirely different.
Holding firm and refusing to loosen his grip was what mattered now. As for negotiations falling apart, that did not matter either. He could use it himself.
"I can tell you've got me over a barrel." The other party's voice carried helplessness before he said, "Trade it for this."
"You're getting a bargain. If my promotion trial weren't about to begin, I'd definitely haggle with you properly."
The other party took out a token and showed its attributes to Chu Danqing.
Being able to find White Dragon Fish's Roar through the search at the center of Apostle Plaza meant he had seen Chu Danqing's requirements. Naturally, he had come prepared.
He had offered Paradise Points only to bluff and see whether he could pick up a bargain.
