The reason why [ Howling Pothos ] was able to obtain such a high reward of nine gold coins in the Fir City Operation was twofold: firstly, scarcity drives up prices, as players lacked knowledge of Fir City at the time, so the price of intelligence was naturally high; secondly, the intelligence was indeed very useful and helped in the later operations against the churches of all sizes.
While the [ Soaring Clouds ] team also brought confidential confessions and the confidential old Blood Corpse, the situation was quite different—
The old man was arrested by them; he won't be handed over to the Second Holy See. As for his confession...
The contents recorded here are not that important to the Second Holy See at present; they merely answer a few questions that Ed had in mind.
Therefore, after taking everything into consideration, Ed offered three gold coins as reimbursement for Soaring Clouds 'Bennett rent.
[ Soaring Clouds ] The purpose of this operation was to capture wild vampires; the intelligence from Klaf City and the Blood Corpse Memoirs were just byproducts.
Now that he knows this confession can fetch three gold coins, and that intelligence from Klaf City will be calculated separately, he is already overjoyed.
However, he also had his own ulterior motives...
Ed didn't just say he'd give me three gold coins; he said, "If you're planning to settle this with money."
In other words, you don't need to pay to settle the payment!
In " World of Disorder," what is more precious than money?
Of course there are! And lots of them!
Players have already compiled a list of valuable items on forums, featuring many well-known physical and virtual items.
Even items that were previously unknown could voluntarily participate in the election and then appear on the list.
As a gamer who combines work and play, [ Soaring Clouds ] has browsed the rare item ranking list quite a bit.
The virtual item list goes without saying. At the top are the first-clear reward badges for different Dungeon of varying difficulties. The smaller the hidden number, the more valuable the badge. In addition, there are limited-time titles obtainable in the [ Reclaim White Wax Town ] event.
It's a pity that in " World of Disorder," not only is there only one Number One person, but the trading of such titles and honors is also prohibited; otherwise, these things would definitely have been sold for exorbitant prices.
Meanwhile, the physical item rankings are truly dominated by top-tier players.
The top item on the list of valuable physical items is none other than the rare Character Blessing Card, which [ Howling Pothos ] once obtained.
That card is not only of gold quality, but it also has a special inspection animation (it can be integrated into the body), and the character it's bound to is the most popular NPC in the game.
It's a pity that the undisputed number one spot has now turned gray, meaning that this limited-edition item has already been used.
After Fir City was liberated, when everyone learned that [ Howling Pothos ] had used this possibly extinct and unique item to block Antiya Lisi, they all angrily denounced it as a waste of a precious resource.
Several wealthy second-generation players, especially those who couldn't afford to spend money on in-game purchases, were so frustrated they almost felt like they were about to be torn apart, and they all expressed a desire to exchange game tips with [ Howling Pothos ] offline.
The item ranked second is not another item that only appeared once, [ Citrus Aggregate ].
Although [ Citrus Aggregate ] is also a rare item given by Ed, it's obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that there will be a stable way to obtain it in the future, and besides, its quality is only purple.
In addition, after [ Clear Soup Master ] released the bizarre transformation animation of players using [ Citrus Aggregate ], this item completely dropped from second place.
The reason is simple: the image of six players turning into six giant wooden maggots and wriggling together on the ground is just too gruesome to look at.
Its quality is inferior to the Blessing Card, its appearance is inferior to the Blessing Card, and even its transformation animation is surpassed by the Blessing Card. As a result, the ranking of [ Citrus Aggregate ] has continued to decline.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, another item, or rather two other items, successfully climbed to second place on the leaderboard: the straight-line jump knife and the side-step jump knife that Gray had given to [ Do Some Farm Work ] and [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] before he left last time.
These two weapons were handcrafted by Gray using his discarded brass parts and weapons. Their collectible value far exceeds their practical value, and their exquisite design perfectly embodies the characteristic of collectibles that are beautiful but impractical.
The two knives were originally unknown, but [ Do Some Farm Work ] couldn't resist the temptation to show off and eventually anonymously submitted his weapons.
Thanks to the players' tireless efforts, the identity of the Blink Dagger's owner was quickly revealed. Although the vast majority of players in " World of Disorder " are well-mannered, [ Do Some Farm Work ] still frequently receives in-game chat messages from people wanting to buy it offline, which makes him somewhat regretful of his decision at the time.
Therefore, it's almost understandable that Soaring Clouds was excited at this moment. Didn't Ed mean that he could ask for three gold coins, or something else?
Even if nothing is given in the end, it should still be considered as increasing mutual trust, which is also a good thing.
Thinking of this, [ Soaring Clouds ] hurriedly shook his head and said:
"Could we exchange it for something else?"
Ed gave him a look that said, "I knew you'd think that," and nodded almost without hesitation.
"Of course, I have some experimental seeds here that I can give you as a reward; you can try planting them."
"Your team seems quite large; this should be enough."
As Ed spoke, he took out a small cloth bag that he had prepared beforehand and casually tossed it forward to [ Soaring Clouds ].
"If you encounter any problems during use, please feel free to report them to me."
seed?
[ Soaring Clouds ] subconsciously reached out to take it, but then paused slightly in surprise.
It's definitely an item reward, but why is it a seed?
According to his original plan, the reward might be Character Blessing Card, or perhaps a weapon, item, or souvenir.
But he never expected that there would be a seed option...
Considering that the previous [ Citrus Aggregate ] was a plant fruit, [ Soaring Clouds ] has reason to believe that future players will also harvest plant components such as roots, stems, leaves, and flowers from Ed.
However, since this is World of Disorder, the seeds cannot be treated as ordinary seeds.
He was just about to ask Ed what kind of Aberration plants could be grown from these seeds when a semi-transparent text box appeared before his eyes:
[ Hybrid Creation Species - Vine Dog
Species Description: An artificial organism that exists between plants and animals, possessing characteristics of both types of organisms, and capable of simple communication with humans.
Instructions for use: Plant the seeds in the soil and irrigate them with blood to stimulate germination. Once the fruit matures, it will detach from the rootstock and form Vine Dog, recognizing the individual from which the blood originated.
Note: This creature's main body is a rhizome that grows from a seed. After the movable part ( Vine Dog ) dies, the rhizome can regrow a new individual, retaining the original memories.
