“An opportunity to exchange treasures?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. He had already been reminded of this by Inspector Liu.
Inside the pitch black room.
The black haired man waved his hand. Outside the original twelve plant origin spirit projections, an even larger three dimensional virtual projection appeared. This new projection was divided into categories such as “manuals”, “intelligent aircraft”, “battle suits”, “weapons”, “elixirs”, and more.
Under each category were numerous item projections. The wide variety of treasures was dazzling.
“There are 62 types of treasures on this exchange list that you are allowed to choose from,” the black haired man said.
“Elixirs,” Luo Feng said immediately, ignoring everything else and focusing on that category. There were over ten types of elixirs, each with astonishing effects. “There is no Life Water?”
What Luo Feng cared about most was Life Water, the item that could help his younger brother stand again.
“Life Water?” Hong looked at him in surprise, then shook his head. “Luo Feng, every item on this list is already of absolutely astronomical value in human society. Many of them cannot even be bought by major countries or organisations no matter how much money they offer. Life Water is not qualified to appear on this list.”
Luo Feng froze.
Not qualified?
“You want Life Water to help your younger brother stand again?” Hong pointed at one of the twelve plant origin spirits. “Did you not see the effects of the Hundred Dew Grass? If consumed by chewing, it can heal any injury. Naturally, it can also restore your brother’s ability to walk.”
Luo Feng quickly looked again.
Hundred Dew Grass. Can cure any poison, and heal any injury. Chewed and swallowed, it restores the body…
“Mm.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Are you planning to use the Hundred Dew Grass for your brother?” Hong asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Haha…” Hong laughed. He had not laughed like this for a long time. “Luo Feng, the value of this Hundred Dew Grass is ten times that of Life Water. If you used it to trade with the United States government, they would probably be willing to exchange ten portions of Life Water for it.”
“You are going to use it just to let your brother’s legs regrow and stand again? That is too wasteful,” Hong shook his head.
Hundred Dew Grass was far too precious.
Good steel must be used on the blade, and the same applied to such treasures.
“In one or two months, the United States government will hold an auction for Life Water. You can just go and buy it then,” Hong instructed. “Do not waste plant origin spirits like this.”
Luo Feng blinked.
Hundred Dew Grass is worth ten times Life Water?
“Look carefully,” Hong said, waving his hand.
Beep.
Numbers appeared beside each of the twelve plant origin spirit projections. “2 Star Units”, “2.5 Star Units”, “3 Star Units”, and so on. The lowest was 1.5 Star Units, the highest was 5 Star Units. The total value added up to 36.5 Star Units.
“This is…” Luo Feng was slightly stunned.
“This is the value I assign to your plant origin spirits,” Hong said calmly. “In this world, many treasures cannot be measured with money. No one would be foolish enough to sell such items for RMB or US dollars. They are exchanged only for other treasures.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Indeed, most items on the list were things he had never even heard of being sold anywhere.
Which meant, even if you had money, you could not buy them. For example, the Black God Suit.
“Star Units is just a unit I defined,” Hong said.
Luo Feng nodded again.
“The value is determined by my judgement.”
Hong pointed at the projection again. The exchange list now showed prices beside every item: 1 Star Unit, 1.5 Star Units, 3 Star Units, 2 Star Units, and so on. Most were around 2 Star Units.
“You have 36.5 Star Units worth of plant origin spirits. You may exchange for anything here, as long as the total does not exceed 36.5,” Hong said.
Then he fell silent, letting Luo Feng think.
Luo Feng immediately noticed intelligent aircraft.
King class intelligent aircraft: 2 Star Units.
Kun Kun class intelligent aircraft: 15 Star Units.
Hong Huang class intelligent aircraft: 60 Star Units.
“That Hong Huang class is so expensive,” Luo Feng thought bitterly. He had thought he was very wealthy from this harvest, but seeing this price made him realise how terrifying it was. No wonder only Hong possessed a Hong Huang class aircraft.
He then turned to battle suits.
The Black God Suit stood out.
Black God Suit, 5 Star Units.
“Quite expensive,” Luo Feng thought, but still within reach.
“Hall Master, I will take the Black God Suit,” Luo Feng said.
Hong looked at him. “The Black God Suit is special.”
“In the entire world, Black God Suits are extremely rare. Only those who enter ancient civilisation ruins and succeed can obtain one. Each person only has one chance. Even I cannot obtain more. That is why they are so scarce.”
Luo Feng listened carefully.
Hong continued, “According to the Extreme Limit Martial Arts Hall rules, anyone who receives a Black God Suit as a reward must later enter the ruins again and obtain another one, then sell it back to the Martial Arts Hall.”
Luo Feng understood.
This ensured circulation of rare equipment.
“There are two options,” Hong said.
“First, you spend 5 Star Units to obtain the Black God Suit. Later, you must enter the ruins and obtain another one, and sell it to the Martial Arts Hall.”
“Second, you receive the Black God Suit now, and in the future when you obtain another, you give it to the Martial Arts Hall for free.”
Luo Feng immediately brightened.
“I choose the second option,” he said without hesitation.
It was basically an interest free loan.
Hong smiled. “Clever.”
After that, Luo Feng continued browsing.
Hong recommended: “You should buy the Spirit Reader Basics. 3 Star Units.”
“I will buy it,” Luo Feng agreed.
Next, Hong advised him not to waste Star Units on elixirs, as his body still had residual effects from Dragon Blood and Millennium Willow Heart.
“There is only one more item suitable for you,” Hong said. “The rest, choose freely.”
Luo Feng immediately perked up.
He had already decided on the Black God Suit and Spirit Reader Basics, and now there was one more recommended item.
“Which one?” Luo Feng asked.
“If you find it, it is your luck. If not, forget it,” Hong said calmly.
He would give no more hints.
Luo Feng stared at the list intensely.
Something Hong did not want to point out, something expensive, something special.
He scanned the highest prices.
Hong Huang class aircraft: 60 Star Units.
Phoenix Strike technique: 36 Star Units.
Sky Escape Shuttle weapon: 30 Star Units.
Lightning Flash technique: 25 Star Units.
Hong said techniques were useless for him now, and aircraft was too expensive.
So…
Sky Escape Shuttle?
Luo Feng looked at its description.
Sky Escape Shuttle: weapon for Spirit Readers, efficient use of spiritual force.
That was all.
But it cost 30 Star Units.
Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
“I choose the Sky Escape Shuttle.”
Hong looked slightly surprised. “You actually found it. Tell me, how did you choose it?”
“You did not want to tell me, so it must be something extraordinary. That means it must be expensive. So I just looked from highest to lowest price,” Luo Feng said.
Hong laughed.
“I suppose I was being stingy,” he said. “You and this Sky Escape Shuttle are indeed fated. Its true value is far beyond 30 Star Units. Once you become a being beyond the God of War level, its power will become even more obvious. For now, it is already the best weapon for you.”
And it was only because Hong had obtained the Moyun Vine that he casually added the Sky Escape Shuttle to the list.
Otherwise, he would never have included it at all.
