166. Trade

' The Scale of Justice? What an interesting ability...'

Sulu observed the exchange with a detached eye, and after watching several transactions, he roughly understood the process of the exchange.

Among these, the verification by the Scale of Justice is indeed a crucial step.

It effectively prevents the appearance of counterfeit goods and also serves as an authentication tool.

After all, those who come here to trade are shrewd people; it's difficult to complete a transaction for items whose values differ too greatly.

What surprised Sulu even more was that this scale could even determine the value of information.

He had only seen one transaction where someone used 300 Gold Dragon to buy information about advancing to a second-tier profession.

Such transactions are rare here.

Most of those who can attend the exchange meeting are professionals at level two or above, whose paths have already been chosen.

Unless it's information about professions at level three or higher, it rarely circulates.

On rare occasions, they are probably collected for the sake of a family or certain forces, and the price won't be too high.

Before long, it was the turn of the cloaked woman beside him.

She stood up gracefully, walked to the center of the salon, and said in a calm voice, "One thousand Gold Dragon, issue a mission—assassinate a third-tier professional!"

"An assassination mission?"

"A third-tier professional, a thousand Gold Dragon? That's a bit expensive. The target isn't particularly difficult to deal with, but he has a troublesome identity!"

As soon as the details of the deal were revealed, people around started discussing it.

Someone immediately raised a question.

"I will provide you with more detailed information after the contract is signed. I can also offer some assistance. Is anyone willing to take on this role?"

The cloaked woman looked around, and seeing with some disappointment that no one responded, she sat back down on the sofa, feeling rather dejected.

Sulu then stood up and walked to the center, facing the gazes coming from all directions.

He cleared his throat and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I'm looking to purchase materials from the Spirit World — the Face of the Face-Snatcher. As for the price... money, potions to enhance mental strength or agility, information on fourth-tier professions, or even Treasure Map of the Gaosuo, are all acceptable!"

"What?"

These words immediately caused a stir among the people around.

The price Sulu offered, aside from the relatively ordinary monetary value, included anything far from ordinary: potions, information on fourth-tier professions, and even the Treasure Map of the Gaosuo.

Of course, the Face-Snatcher is not an ordinary spirit; it is difficult to destroy, let alone have its complete face peeled off.

"Tier 4 job information, which job is it?"

"The Gaosuo's Treasure Map? Could it be the one that's been making headlines lately, the one related to Grede?"

People kept asking questions from all around.

Upon seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Sulu's lips.

I'm not afraid of someone Greed; I'm afraid of someone lacking curiosity.

It seems his bait is still sufficient to attract a enough number of extraordinary individuals.

"We can discuss the details privately, but only if you have the materials I need!"

Glancing at the restless crowd, Sulu answered calmly.

"Damn it... Face-Snatcher, those Spirit World creatures are rare!"

"I saw it at an auction before, but I didn't buy it..."

"I remember..."

Even the masked elderly host was startled, his gaze fixed on Sulu with a cryptic expression.

"I have!"

"The Face of the Face-Snatcher, I possess!"

Suddenly, two voices rang out.

One was a man in black robes, and the other, to Sulu's surprise, was the cloaked woman who had just sat back down.

"Okay, we can discuss this privately!"

Sulu greeted the old man.

In the square next to the salon, there are several stone houses prepared for this situation.

"Can!"

The old man nodded, and Sulu chose the cloaked woman, entering the stone house with her.

This place is enclosed on all four sides and has a special effect: it can prevent peeping.

"I need to inspect the goods first!"

Sulu stared at the cloaked woman.

"No problem!"

The cloaked woman handed over an iron box, which Sulu scanned with his Inspiration before slowly opening it.

Inside the tin box was a lump of dark green jelly.

That's right!

Once the Face of the Face-Snatcher is peeled off, it looks like this jelly.

Most of the materials in the Spirit World are strange, and some require special preservation methods, otherwise they easily evaporate.

"Yes, that's right!"

Sulu nodded and looked at the cloaked woman. "What are your needs?"

"Kill that third-tier professional for me?" The cloaked woman smiled, then said, "Never mind, you don't seem like the kind of person who likes adventure. I need to know the names of the fourth-tier professionals you possess."

"Okay, the profession information I have is for the fourth tier: [Brawl Master], [Demolition Master], and [Alchemy Master]!"

Sulu said slowly.

These three fourth-tier profession information were all spoils he had plundered during the destruction of the Spirit of the White Tower.

As for his own legacy, he certainly wouldn't sell it.

Within the Federation, a complete inheritance from the first to the fourth tier is enough to enable an extraordinary family to rise to prominence.

Although there are only three Tier 4 professions here, their value is immeasurable.

But Sulu felt a little uneasy, after all, it was unlikely that it would be a perfect fit for this woman's career path.

"It's these three!"

The cloaked woman exclaimed, "It's such a difficult choice! [Demolition Master] is undoubtedly the most valuable, but [Alchemy Master] is more suitable for my situation..."

As for the [Brawl Master] title, it seems she disliked it.

"[Demolition Master], the most valuable?"

Sulu was somewhat surprised.

He also believed that the [Alchemy Master] profession, which spellcasters preferred, was the most valuable of the three.

"Of course, haven't you heard of the special job advancement in Green Tree Castle National Laboratory— [Mechanic Master]?"

The cloaked woman gave Sulu a strange look. "[Demolition Master] is the prerequisite for becoming [Mechanic Master]!"

"Um???"

Sulu's eyes widened; he really didn't know that.

But he still vividly remembered the terror of the fourth-tier [Mechanic Master]. As long as he could assemble a mecha, he could unleash power comparable to Legendary Professional!

'However, the [Mechanic Master] special job advancement seems to have some flaws... otherwise, it should be a legendary job directly.'

"I've made up my mind, I want [Alchemy Master]!" the cloaked woman suddenly said, then asked, "Will you sell the [Demolition Master] advancement information? I'll offer Gold Dragon!"

This is not for sale!

Sulu shook his head. He sensed that this woman wasn't Alchemy Apprentice, but he couldn't be bothered to care what she wanted it for. "Then... [Alchemy Master]'s professional information, in exchange for the Face of the Face-Snatcher. If you agree, let's go make the trade."

"OK."

The cloaked woman and Sulu returned to the salon and each placed their items on the Scale of Justice.

The cloaked woman placed down the iron box Face of the Face-Snatcher, while Sulu placed a pre-copied parchment on top.

Snap!

One end of the Scale of Justice was suddenly pressed down by a piece of parchment, nearly striking the stone platform.

"It should be... job information, level four?!"

Those present were all seasoned veterans; their eyes lit up with surprise.
