A Level 6 Treasure Hidden Inside Level 4 Supplies

"A level 3 item that increased an attribute by two points was generally worth one soul."

Xiao Youya opened the Xiao Gallbladder Wine with her fair, jade-like hand and examined it, then looked at him. "The Blue-Patterned Robe costs 20 souls. Yours can count for 15."

"That..."

Cao Fengqi frowned slightly. "Deputy County Magistrate Xiao, you can't calculate it that way. There's a huge difference between level 3 and level 4 items, and the limits on their constitution increases are different too. Besides, you set the price for the Blue-Patterned Robe yourself. I was planning to sell this Xiao Gallbladder Wine for 30 souls."

"30 souls?"

Xiao Youya smiled in amusement and said without bargaining, "Add the three strands of spider silk you have, and I'll agree to the trade."

"Spider silk?"

Cao Fengqi looked at the backpack in his hand, his face darkening.

Damn it, I hid the spider silk in my bag, and she can still sense it?

She knew I brought spider silk, so she wants to squeeze everything out of me?

Does she have to be this shady?

And Dad said she was pretty decent. She's only decent-looking, if you ask me.

"I'm afraid that won't work. I wanted to use those three strands of spider silk to have you help me repair this piece of armor, Deputy County Magistrate Xiao."

Cao Fengqi hesitated, but ultimately shook his head. He took out the Evil Concealment Armor and continued, "Sorry for the trouble, Deputy County Magistrate Xiao, but could you take a look? What would I need to pay to have this repaired?"

The Blue-Patterned Robe was indeed very important to him, but in his view, the Evil Concealment Armor was more important.

If he could repair the Evil Concealment Armor and eliminate its side effects, he could give up the Blue-Patterned Robe.

"Oh? Let me see."

Xiao Youya raised her delicate brows. With a movement of her hand, strands of thread wrapped around it and pulled it in front of her. She examined it. "A good item. It can indeed be repaired."

Cao Fengqi was delighted to hear that, but he looked at the unscrupulous merchant with some concern.

"How about this? Add the necklace around your neck to those items, and I'll give you the Blue-Patterned Robe."

Xiao Youya thought for a moment, then looked up at him. "And I'll help you repair this Evil Concealment Armor."

"..."

Cao Fengqi looked at her, somewhat speechless.

Generally speaking, other people couldn't see the attributes of items he had equipped.

This "unscrupulous merchant" had clearly relied on her supernatural power or a special item to discover the Arcane Necklace's value.

There really is no merchant who isn't crooked. Want me to give you my underwear too?

Of course, those were just his private complaints. He didn't dare say them out loud.

"All right."

He deliberated for a moment, but ultimately agreed.

With the Blue-Patterned Robe, his Crude Arcane Necklace really would be useless to him.

Although he felt he was taking a big loss, he could accept it.

"Hehe, don't worry, little fellow. You won't lose out."

Xiao Youya smiled faintly at his reaction. "Wait here for three hours, or come back for it in three hours."

Those are an unscrupulous merchant's standard lines.

Cao Fengqi naturally didn't believe her nonsense. He forced a smile. "I'll wait here."

"All right. There's tea here, so help yourself."

After saying that, Xiao Youya slowly stood up, her slightly loose robe concealing her figure completely.

She turned, opened the door to the workshop behind her, and walked inside.

Cao Fengqi watched her graceful figure and felt slightly annoyed when he thought of her ability to spy on him.

A thought stirred in his mind.

Let's see what this Brahmin supernatural being has to her name.

[Cheat activated.]

[Scan complete within a one-kilometer radius: 15,211 level 1 supplies, 7,752 level 2 supplies, 952 level 3 supplies, 177 level 4 supplies, 43 level 5 supplies, and 9 level 6 supplies.]

In an instant, information flooded in, and densely packed supply information appeared in Cao Fengqi's field of vision.

The cheat could naturally be activated on Blue Star too, but he generally kept it turned off.

The reason he turned it off was the scene before him.

The densely packed information practically covered his vision in a mosaic.

"Hm? Information on level 6 supplies? This unscrupulous merchant actually has three of them on her."

When Cao Fengqi looked in Xiao Youya's direction, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

He was still risking his life for level 4 items, yet she had three level 6 supplies on her.

Besides that, he gleaned some information from this scan by the cheat.

He was currently in the central area of the entire Liangmin County group, and there were definitely other supernatural beings within one kilometer.

Yet the other supernatural beings had fewer treasures than she did?

Is it because she can craft level 6 supplies herself? That can't be possible, can it?

Cao Fengqi was somewhat shocked. Then his gaze suddenly sharpened. "No, no. Of these nine level 6 supplies, another one belongs to her."

He stared fixedly at the desk where she had just been sitting.

On the desk sat a fist-sized blue crystal pearl, dreamlike and illusory.

"Strange."

He raised his brows again, looking puzzled.

In his field of vision, two pieces of information appeared over the blue crystal pearl: one for a level 4 supply and one for a level 6 supply.

The two almost overlapped.

Cao Fengqi hesitated, then stood and went over to the desk, fixing his gaze on the blue crystal pearl.

[Iceheart Crystal Pearl: level 4 quality]

[Effect: increases the recovery speed of one's mental power.]

He was slightly surprised as he looked at the attribute information.

Staring at the Iceheart Crystal Pearl displayed only that one piece of information.

Could it be...

A possibility flashed through Cao Fengqi's mind.

A level 6 supply was hidden inside the Iceheart Crystal Pearl.

He hesitated, then picked it up and examined it.

[Cheat supply display-]

A piece of information appeared. Cao Fengqi froze for a moment and immediately looked at it.

[Worldweaver's Advancement Information: level 6 quality]

[Effect: contains advancement information and class knowledge for Worldweavers. Usable by Worldweavers only.]

"Worldweaver's Advancement Information? Only usable by Worldweavers? I can't use it?"

His face was full of disappointment, but his mind soon began working.

This was displayed by my cheat's supply display. That unscrupulous merchant probably hasn't discovered it. Otherwise, there's no way she'd leave such a precious level 6 item here casually, let alone let me pick it up at will.

Cao Fengqi speculated inwardly, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Although I can't use level 6 supplies, if I can buy it, then wait until I'm stronger or find a chance to sell it back to her, couldn't I make a huge profit? This will definitely work. When the time comes, I'll show that unscrupulous merchant what a real unscrupulous merchant is like.

Thinking this, he put it back on the desk, his eyes flickering, then sat to one side and waited quietly.

Click!

Time passed little by little, and three hours soon went by.

As the door opened, Xiao Youya walked out with the Evil Concealment Armor in her hand.

"It's repaired."

She walked over to the chair, picked up the robe, and held it out. "Put the Blue-Patterned Robe away too. You can wear both pieces together, but it's best to wear the Evil Concealment Armor on the outside."

"All right. Thank you, Deputy County Magistrate Xiao."

Smiling, Cao Fengqi immediately walked over, reached out to take it, and examined it.

"Hm? What's this?"

His gaze fell on the Evil Concealment Armor's attributes, and shock appeared on his face.

[Evil Concealment Armor: level 4 quality]

[Effect: armor infused with an evil spirit's soul. When worn, it can emit an evil spirit's aura, greatly reducing the chance of being sensed by evil spirits.]

Level 4 quality. The repaired Evil Concealment Armor was actually level 4 quality!!

"Little fellow, don't assume everyone is a black-hearted merchant. Keep your eyes open from now on."

Xiao Youya folded her arms and looked at him calmly. "Take them. You won't get a deal like this again."

"???"

Cao Fengqi was full of surprise when he heard his words, and he also felt a little embarrassed.

He had judged a gentleman by a petty person's standards and mistakenly thought she was an unscrupulous merchant.

She had repaired his Evil Concealment Armor and raised it to level 4, and there was also the Blue-Patterned Robe. Compared with what he had paid, his gains were simply enormous.

"Ahem."

A thought stirred in Cao Fengqi's mind, and he coughed.

He raised his head slightly and looked at her exquisite face while holding the Evil Concealment Armor and the Blue-Patterned Robe.

Then he pointed at the Iceheart Crystal Pearl and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Xiao, would you trade that for these two pieces of clothing?"

"Oh?"

Xiao Youya looked at him in surprise and raised her brows. "Are you sure you want to trade?"

"I'm sure."

Cao Fengqi nodded. "I have a great use for this Iceheart Crystal!"

"Hehe, it's a deal!" Xiao Youya chuckled and promptly took the two pieces of clothing, handing him the Iceheart Crystal Pearl.

The corners of Cao Fengqi's mouth rose slightly as he looked at Xiao Youya teasingly. "Deputy County Magistrate Xiao, I don't actually think you're an unscrupulous merchant. I just think that spying habit of yours isn't very good."

"An upright gentleman like me would never spy on you, and I certainly wouldn't know you have three level 6 treasures on you."

"Still less would I know-"

As he spoke, he placed the Iceheart Crystal on the desk, pointed at it, and said calmly, "There's a level 6 treasure hidden inside this Iceheart Crystal Pearl!!"
