Demon Bear Douluo was indeed tempted.
Lin Xiao's words were absolutely right.
Compared to other people, coming up with a million Gold Soul Coins really wasn't difficult for him.
And why had he worked so hard to amass all that wealth?
Wasn't it so he could live comfortably and cultivate smoothly?
Now that a chance to improve his strength simply by spending money had appeared, what was there to hesitate over?
With Snake Lance Douluo's shining example before him, even if he returned to Spirit Hall to think it over, wouldn't he still have to come back here?
In the end, he would have to open these jars no matter what. Demon Bear Douluo himself wouldn't be satisfied otherwise.
"Boss, give me another eight jars, starting after the ones I picked before. Since I can only open ten jars a week, I might as well finish them all at once and save myself the trouble."
With a sweep of his hand, Demon Bear Douluo took out two more Space Soul Tools and produced eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
This fellow knows how to play along.
After putting away Demon Bear Douluo's money, Lin Xiao quickly placed the eight jars he wanted on the counter.
"I hope these eight jars won't disappoint me."
Demon Bear Douluo pressed his palms together and bowed slightly before picking up the Lucky Magic Hammer to open a jar.
Well now, we're turning to mysticism, are we?
Lin Xiao couldn't help silently snarking at the sight.
Crack.
Blue light flashed, and a red fruit appeared inside the jar.
Did the mysticism work?
Lin Xiao paused, then looked over.
Item: [Mutated Strawberry] Grade: [Advanced] Type: [Tradable] Description: [Restores HP and removes the user's bleeding status, converted into healing the user's injuries.] Effect: [Heals all wounds on the surface of the body and restores some stamina.]
"Boss, is this wild fruit even worse than the Rusty Samurai Sword?"
"It's all right. Just tell me the truth. I can take it."
Demon Bear Douluo asked Lin Xiao with a dark expression.
To be honest, deep down, he felt this tiny wild fruit didn't deserve to be classified as an advanced item at all!
A hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. What a crushing loss.
"It's not what you think."
After hearing Demon Bear Douluo's words, Lin Xiao shook his head slightly. "This red fruit is called a Mutated Strawberry. Once eaten, it grants your body extremely powerful healing abilities. Even wounds so deep they expose bone can heal instantly. It also restores some of your stamina, allowing you to fight again."
"This little fruit is that miraculous?"
At Lin Xiao's explanation, Demon Bear Douluo's eyes lit up, and he immediately saw the red wild fruit in a whole new light.
A hint of delight also appeared on his face.
Without a doubt, this was something that could save his life at a critical moment. A hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins wasn't a loss after all.
It was leagues better than something like the Rusty Samurai Sword.
"Oh, and one more reminder: this Mutated Strawberry is tradable. That means you can give it to anyone, or sell it to someone who needs it."
Lin Xiao added another explanation.
"That makes it even more valuable!"
Demon Bear Douluo was even more delighted.
Let's keep going!
Putting away the Mutated Strawberry, Demon Bear Douluo felt much better and opened the second jar.
White light flashed.
Lin Xiao got a clear look at the item inside.
The familiar little blue bottle.
Item: [Magic Juice]
Before Demon Bear Douluo could ask, Lin Xiao explained directly, "The liquid in this little blue bottle is Magic Juice. Drinking it restores thirty percent of your maximum soul power. If you use it together with the Mutated Strawberry you just obtained, you should get some unexpected results."
They can even work as a combo?
Demon Bear Douluo hadn't expected this additional windfall.
"They're a perfect match! Having these two things is like gaining half an extra life!"
At this point, Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke. He had recognized the value of these two items. Used together, they were simply must-haves for staying home, traveling, murdering, and looting.
"This haul is well worth it. For Soul Masters who often walk the edge between life and death, items like Mutated Strawberries and Magic Juice are especially important."
"Has my luck finally turned?"
No child cried every single day. Demon Bear Douluo felt considerably better.
This time, he opened three jars in succession.
Two bursts of white light flashed and vanished, followed by a flicker of blue light. Only then did Demon Bear Douluo stop.
Then he looked eagerly at Lin Xiao.
He hoped Lin Xiao would tell him... this haul was worth it.
Item: [Magic Juice]
Item: [Magic Juice]
The first two jars both contained little blue bottles, so Lin Xiao skipped them and turned his attention to the third item.
It was another potion.
That was perfectly normal. Among Dungeon City's products, potions came in a dazzling variety.
As a professional player in Dungeon City, anyone entering a raid without four rows of buffs would be too embarrassed to leave home.
More than half of those buffs came from various potions.
And now, the potion left inside the jar was in a bottle patterned in gold and red.
Item: [Super Armor Potion] Grade: [Advanced] Type: [Untradable] Description: [Just charge in.] Effect: [After use, enters the super armor state for ten seconds. While in the super armor state, grants immunity to all control effects.]
"The first two are Magic Juice. You already know their effects, so I won't repeat myself."
"As for this advanced item, as you can see, it's a potion."
Lin Xiao pointed at the Super Armor Potion as he spoke.
"Another potion?"
"I wonder what this one restores?"
Demon Bear Douluo was very curious.
Beside him, Ghost Leopard Douluo also wore a questioning look.
"No, this potion has no restorative effects whatsoever."
Lin Xiao explained slowly, "This potion is called the Super Armor Potion. After using it, you'll enter the super armor state for ten seconds. In that state, you're immune to all control effects. As long as you can stay on your feet, you can dish out damage without restraint."
Super armor!
And for a whole ten seconds!
At those words, Demon Bear Douluo's breathing quickened.
He hated agility-attack Soul Masters, but he hated control-type Soul Masters even more.
Fighting those fellows who did nothing but kite him left him bound hand and foot.
But now.
With the Super Armor Potion, dealing with them would become much easier.
With their control effects rendered useless, wouldn't they be at his mercy, free for him to batter and crush however he pleased?
Ten seconds was definitely enough for him to do a great many things.
Thinking again of the artifact in his hands, things seemed to be gradually falling perfectly into place...
Beside him, Ghost Leopard Douluo was also stunned.
Could a state like super armor really be granted by a potion?
That was far too heaven-defying!
"Open more!"
Putting away the items he had obtained once again, Demon Bear Douluo smashed the final two jars.
Blue light flickered inside the ninth jar.
The tenth jar also shone with blue light.
"What a pity... the double jar yielded two Super Armor Potions..."
Demon Bear Douluo felt a little wistful.
Snake Lance Douluo's feat of defying heaven and changing his fate hadn't been repeated for him after all.
"Boss, what is this advanced item?"
As he spoke, he had already picked up the item inside the jar.
It was a transparent crystal orb. Sealed inside was a scrawny-looking, green-skinned monster with a pointed nose and pointed ears.
It's a little ugly, Demon Bear Douluo muttered inwardly.
Lin Xiao was also slightly taken aback. It looked like a Goblin Costume?
You folks reading in browsers are going a bit too far.
A chapter with over two thousand characters is perfectly fine. That's no reason to give me one star.
