Pretty Lucky

Compared to Jeston's excitement, Feng Xue remained calm and collected. He was even selecting the least useful items from his resource pool—he didn't want to create anything good that would become an obstacle to his escape.

However, his element pool was mostly the result of his own careful selection. Apart from the batch of death elements he obtained from corpses and Omen, most of them were more or less useful.

After thinking for a very short time, Feng Xue simply selected a [Furniture] element and threw it in, then symbolically added a little [Knowledge], and clicked the Reforge button.

The iron ore twisted rapidly, as if an invisible hand was kneading and shaping it. Jeston, who was behind the transparent wall, was almost pressed against it, his eyes seemingly trying to pierce through the wall.

Unfortunately, Feng Xue's Golden Finger didn't have any lighting effects, otherwise the scene would have been even more perfect.

But it doesn't matter, because in just a few seconds, the iron ore has completely changed. What appears in the center of the magic circle is a fist-sized, translucent crystal.

It looks somewhat like crystal, but with slight differences. Judging from its appearance alone, it's difficult to determine exactly what it is.

However, after Feng Xue aimed the Golden Finger at the target, its information finally emerged—

Name: Phantom Object Illuminating Crystal

Elements: [Furniture], [Minerals], [Lighting], [Storage] (The extracted results are [Lighting], [Storage], and a black ball)

Description: A crystal that stores special power; when placed in water, it emits a bright light.

Note: No radiation, healthier.

"Nice!" Feng Xue cheered inwardly, but immediately feigned exhaustion and weakness, using the skill of playing dead he had learned from the Assassin's Tag. He slumped to the ground, looked at Crystal with expectant eyes, then slowly furrowed his brow, his expression becoming slightly serious, and even shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

Jeston was initially overjoyed to see the iron ore turn into crystal, but upon seeing Feng Xue's expression, he hesitated for a moment, then pulled out his phone and opened a translation app.

"It failed?"

"No, no good." Feng Xue shook her head with difficulty and responded in a weak voice with broken Victorian that the other party might not be able to understand. Then she searched through her vocabulary cards, found a few words, and showed them to the bodyguard not far away.

"Boss, it's 'no,' 'perfect,' 'functionality,' 'useless.'"

The bodyguard faithfully repeated the words to Jeston, Jeston then understood that it probably meant the thing they had made was useless. However, he didn't care about that. As long as it was a real Phantom Object, no matter how useless it was, it was still valuable!

So he immediately fiddled with his phone for a bit and sent a machine-translated Chinese Language:

What is the use of this crystal?

"Rotten!" Feng Xue uttered a word she finally remembered, but after thinking about it, she realized that it would be really hard to guess just from the pronunciation, so she said it again in rather broken Victorian:

"Can I have a glass of water?"

"Water! He wants water! Give him water!"

Jeston was now blinded by greed, and he practically shouted at the bodyguards opposite him.

Hearing this, Fran finally couldn't help but speak:

"Be careful, that's an explosive that needs water to detonate."

"Wouldn't that blow him up too?" Jeston wasn't buying it. The bodyguard was, after all, someone Jeston had brought from home, so his loyalty was unquestionable. He quickly brought a glass of water and handed it to Feng Xue.

Fran's face grew increasingly grim as he watched, and he even slowly started the motor on his Wheelchair and moved it to the doorway—he always viewed these demons with the utmost malice, so if anything went wrong, he could escape immediately. And with this success, even without Jeston, he could find another sucker.

It's just a little bit troublesome.

Although Jeston was somewhat blinded by greed, he did not let his guard down. As Feng Xue reached out to take the water glass, the bodyguards in the corner of the room simultaneously raised their guns, ready to shoot at the slightest movement from him.

Feng Xue slightly opened her arms to indicate that she was not in danger. At the same time, she slowly walked to the center of the magic circle and carefully poured water onto the crystal. As the liquid flowed down the crystal, a gentle and bright, yet not dazzling, light shone from the crystal, making even the originally bright white light appear soft under the crystal's radiance.

"That's it? That's all?" Fran, who was already prepared to run away at the door, looked at the crystal that had only lit up briefly and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but Jeston was overjoyed.

This isn't some useless Magical Item; it's one of the most valuable Magical Item ever made!

Ultimately, who is the biggest buyer of these Magical Item?

Perhaps some wealthy mercenaries qualify, but they are definitely not the main players. The real buyers are Rich Person like their fathers, who have so much money they don't know what to do with it.

They don't want Magical Item for war. Aside from clothing that can be used as bulletproof vests, the most valuable things are those they can use and play with in daily life. Especially things that are somewhat useful but not particularly useful are the capital worth showing off. In a sense, it is precisely because they are useless that they are harder to collect. After all, most of these Magical Item are brought by ghosts, and ghosts rarely carry useless things. Only by killing ghosts is there a very small chance of obtaining such useless little things.

This crystal, which sparkles when it comes into contact with water, is undoubtedly the most useful of all useless items. Just make a transparent hanging container and hang it in a ballroom, and it will be the most luxurious chandelier. Those crystal chandeliers worth tens of millions of dollars will have to take a backseat!

"Good! Very good! You're very good!"

The phone emitted broken Chinese Language; if it weren't for the excited tone in Jeston's voice, Feng Xue would have almost thought he was being sarcastic.

However, the Tag he was waiting for didn't appear... well, here it is!

Just as Feng Xue was feeling somewhat disappointed, his body suddenly began to change. It wasn't as obvious as the Tag given to him by the Infinite City, but it had a completely different "presence" from the Infinite City.

Perhaps because of the difference between her current physical structure and that of the Infinite City, Feng Xue could easily sense that something was being extracted from her flesh and blood, then reforming into individual Trait, which finally converged and formed another Tag next to [Chef].

However, this Tag was not the craftsman he had envisioned, but rather...

[Money Printer].

"Damn! Is this a legitimate Money Printer?"

Regarding how the protagonist became nothing...

It's simple, because he's dead.
