After sending out the server-wide announcement, Wu Shaozhen enabled private messages from strangers...
He had disabled that feature back when he killed his first boss, the Boar King, in the Novice Village, and had never turned it back on.
Now he had no choice. Otherwise, people wouldn't even be able to contact him...
But the moment he enabled it, Wu Shaozhen's head began to ache. The message alerts practically never stopped...
He patiently read through them for a while and nearly lost his mind. It was all useless chatter: people begging him to carry them, add them as friends, or be their sugar daddy. None of it had anything to do with what he wanted.
Just as Wu Shaozhen was about to close the chat window, one message caught his attention.
Maka (M Country): "I know where you can find that item. If I give you the information, can I get a Sacred Artifact in exchange?"
Wu Shaozhen rolled his eyes and replied, "I said I'd trade a Sacred Artifact for a shard, not for information."
Maka (M Country): "Then there's nothing I can do. But I can tell you for certain that the person who has it won't trade with you. In other words, you'll never get the shard he's holding."
Wu Shaozhen frowned at the reply. After thinking it over, he said, "One Immortal Artifact for the information."
Maka (M Country): "I only want a Sacred Artifact!"
"Heh, then keep waiting. It's not like there's only one of these things. If he won't trade, someone else will. You want a Sacred Artifact just for a tip? What are you thinking?"
Wu Shaozhen wasn't the sort to let others lead him around by the nose. He was confident that nobody but him knew exactly how many of these things
