Because of three keywords, a crowd quickly gathered near the shop.
On the trading plaza, if white-grade goods were commonplace and green-grade products were the mainstream, then blue-rated equipment was definitely the epitome of rarity.
The words "rare" and "top-quality" represented refinement. High-quality, high-rated equipment immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
"Bro, can you go a bit cheaper on this [Summoning Horn]? I'll give you 8,000 Paradise Coins."
"Yeah, yeah. Your Summoning Horn, while blue-quality, has overly harsh usage conditions! If you lower the price, I'll offer 10,000 Paradise Coins."
"But the effect is strong. Three attributes, dual determination, and it's an active skill!"
"Hmm, while the effect is indeed quite powerful, the drastic reduction in all stats, plus the permanent stat decrease and the long cooldown, it's not worth it!"
"What, you want to use it in every world if the cooldown is a little lower?"
Wang Changle listened to the bids and discussions of the onlookers without speaking. Instead, he silently increased the price by 1,000 Paradise Coins.
Although the price to activate this [Summoning Horn] was immense, it was a necklace, which was already a symbol of rarity. Coupled with its three-attribute bonus, it was even more valuable.
He hadn't intended to sell this piece of equipment to lone wanderers in the first place; it held little significance for them in solo combat.
However, for team combat or for factions and organizations with adventurer teams, this was a strategic piece of equipment.
Every adventurer team inevitably had a Charisma specialist for diplomacy or quests with plot characters, and these specialists wouldn't have low Intelligence stats.
A supportive necklace that didn't occupy weapon or off-hand slots, yet possessed a super-wide-range skill with dual attribute determination!
Once activated, as long as the team protected the Charisma specialist, the moment the horn was blown, the scales of battle would completely tip.
It even offered a decent counter against large-scale summoned creature attacks.
Wang Changle's move to increase the price by 1,000 Paradise Coins silenced those who had been trying to haggle him down.
Compared to the [Summoning Horn], the white-rare [Harden Giant Axe] sold faster, bought by a burly, dark-skinned man.
[You have received 5,000 Paradise Coins, deposited into your Mark Space]
After the weapon was sold, only the lone Summoning Horn remained on the stall. The surrounding discussions quieted down, but his private messages kept buzzing.
[You have received a message from an (Anonymous) Contractor, please check it!]
[You have received a message from an (Anonymous) Contractor, please check it!]
[You have received a message from an (Anonymous) Contractor, please check it!]
"..."
Glancing at the continuously increasing private messages and the popping Paradise notifications, Wang Changle casually closed his private messages, and the world instantly became quiet.
Most of these private messages were threats, and some were offers to buy at a low price, none of which were of any use to him.
He concealed his face. Since he was a Hunter, they couldn't see his number anyway, making these so-called threats seem utterly hollow.
Yet, the crowd of onlookers didn't decrease; it grew larger. This was naturally a good thing for him.
Onlookers represented excitement and traffic. People were prone to following the crowd. Once there was enough buzz and attention, information would spread faster, and adventurer teams would come.
This kind of equipment was a trump card for his own team, but it was a deterrent to other teams.
Many small adventurer teams, though not wanting to buy, had sent people to observe. The ownership of such equipment was clearly a matter they cared about.
In the Cycle Paradise, information was sometimes a bargaining chip.
"Move aside, move aside! None of you are buying, so why are you blocking the way?"
A man about 2 meters tall, with black eyes and red hair, resembling the fire god Agni, pushed through the crowd, allowing a group behind him to enter.
A loli with twin ponytails, a chest disproportionate to her figure, long and straight legs, a loli's face, and a mature woman's body, possessing a queenly, icy, and aloof aura with a hint of laziness.
This Contractor, who embodied multiple forms of beauty, was clearly a Charisma specialist, or rather, she had extremely high Charisma stats. She was surrounded by four or five handsome men of various types.
"It's the Flower Boat's Courtesan!"
"So these are her lovers? Terrifying, these are all from Derivative Worlds."
"Hurry up and shut up! If the Flower Boat's Courtesan is here, then Moon Princess should be nearby too."
Through the discussions of the surrounding people, Wang Changle obtained basic information about the Flower Boat adventurer team. It was an adventurer team formed by two women.
One was named Flower Boat's Courtesan, and the other was Moon Princess.
Besides the two women, all other Contractors came from Derivative Worlds, having transitioned from plot characters, and they were all handsome men.
Definitely winners in life!
Wang Changle withdrew his gaze. He had just had the urge to give the [Summoning Horn] to the woman in front of him. What a terrifying woman.
"Sir, hello. I am Anthony from Flower Boat. May I be so bold as to ask if the price can be slightly discounted?"
The young man, dressed in a white tailcoat embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, resembled a butler from Central European worlds. He politely asked Wang Changle.
Just as he was about to reply to Anthony, a group of people forcefully pushed their way in. Leading them was a man holding a long spear and clad in the hide of an unknown beast.
"We from Hunter Camp will take this horn."
[You have received 31,000 Paradise Coins with serial number 468777]
Before the fierce-looking man could finish speaking, Anthony had already taken down the horn and walked to the side of the 'Flower Boat's Courtesan'.
"Bear Knight Captain, remember to run faster next time! This is the Paradise, shouting won't help."
A young man dressed in blue, holding a folding fan, with a face as beautiful as jade, said indifferently.
He was dressed like a rich young master, but exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance, much like Hua Wuque from "The Peerless Twins".
"You leeching pretty boy, I'll definitely kill you next time!"
"If those words came from your Dragon Leader, they would be more believable!"
Anthony said, adjusting his glasses, nodded at Wang Changle, and chased after the Flower Boat's Courtesan.
As the leader, the Flower Boat's Courtesan had not spoken from beginning to end. She had only frowned slightly when the Bear Knight Captain arrived, taken the Summoning Horn, and left.
That complete laziness and indifference instantly provoked the burly Bear Knight Captain, who immediately turned his gaze to Wang Changle, his eyes clearly showing his transferred anger.
"Kid, are we taking this equipment or not? Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"
Glancing at the Bear Knight Captain, whose face had turned red with anger, he realized the man was indeed quite bear-like. He walked past the stunned Bear Knight Captain and bought the "Call of Nature".
"Oh, you don't know this is the Cycle Paradise."
After saying that, he glanced at the other party, activated the mark in his hand, and disappeared from the trading plaza.
The Bear Knight Captain, having lost face twice, had his expression turn gloomy.
He didn't dare to be too presumptuous with the Flower Boat's Courtesan, as their Hunter Camp adventure group was on the same level as the Flower Boat.
But this Contractor, whose name he didn't know and who looked like a lone wolf, dared to ignore him. This was a provocation to his status and dignity.
He was a formal member of the Hunter Camp, how could a mere lone wolf be so presumptuous?
Not only had the mission assigned by the leader not been completed, but he had also been repeatedly humiliated. It was unbearable!
"Good, good, good, good! 'This is the Paradise'! Then I'll let you know what the real Paradise is! Investigate, investigate all this person's information!"
Back in his private room, Wang Changle had no intention of thinking about anything else. He was wholeheartedly looking at the blue skill book in front of him and activated the professional compatibility test.
[Detected that the skill 'Call of Nature' has 98% compatibility with your profession, can be added to the skill slot]
[You have learned the active skill, Call of Nature]
[Call of Nature, Level 1, Active Skill]
Usage requirement: Consume 60 Magic Points.
Skill effect: Consume plants or natural energy within a certain range to summon 1 Treant to assist in combat. Cooldown: 54 seconds (1 minute), Duration: 24 (20) seconds.
Tip: When there are plants nearby, consumption is reduced by 60% (50%). The Treant will be formed based on the plants.
(Heart of Nature bonus calculated)
Although the initial consumption was high, if there were vegetation nearby, it would only cost 24 Magic Points to summon a Treant, making it a very cost-effective skill.
Low consumption, short cooldown, sustained combat capability, and damage-dealing – this was the regular skill he had found for himself.
However, this was not enough. He still needed to verify his guess.
Before long, he arrived at the [Training Ground] and used his Hunter permission to summon Kakashi Hatake again.
[Pay 4,000 Cycle Coins, activate for 4 hours].
A milky white light flashed, and it was still a jungle with dense vegetation. Kakashi Hatake sat lazily on a tree branch.
"Ah, ah, I didn't oversleep this time! Let's begin~"
