‘Scales of Justice? Quite an intriguing ability…’
After observing a few transactions, Su Lu was able to understand the basic process of the exchange meeting.
Indeed, the examination of the Scales of Justice was an essential part.
It effectively eliminated the appearance of counterfeit goods, and also served as an authentication tool.
After all, those who came here to trade were all smart people; it would be difficult to complete a trade if the value of items differed too greatly.
What surprised Su Lu even more was that the scales could even examine the value of the information.
He had witnessed a transaction where someone had bought information on a second-level job for 300 Golden Dragons.
Such transactions were not common here.
Most of those who attended the exchange meeting had jobs above the second level, and their paths had already been determined.
Unless the information was about a job of the third level or above, it rarely circulated here.
The few occasional times were probably done for the purpose of collecting for families or certain powers and the prices weren’t usually too high.
After a short while, it was the turn of the cloaked woman sitting next to him.
She got up gracefully and went to the center of the salon, saying in a calm voice: “One thousand Golden Dragons, publishing a task – assassinate a third-level Occupational Person!”
‘An assassination task?’
‘A third-level Occupational Person, one thousand Golden Dragons? That’s a bit expensive, the target isn’t particularly difficult, but does have a troublesome status!’
Once the content of the transaction was disclosed, it sparked immediate discussion among the crowd.
Someone immediately raised a question.
“Detailed information will be provided after signing the contract, and I can provide some help as well. Is anyone interested in accepting the task?”
The cloaked woman looked around, only to be somewhat disappointed when seeing no responses, and she reluctantly returned to her seat.
Following her, Su Lu got up and moved to the center, facing gazes from all directions.
He cleared his throat, and in a deep, hoarse voice said: “Looking to purchase
Spirit World material – face of the Disguiser. As for the price… money, potions that enhance mental power or agility, fourth level job information, or maps to Gaosuo’s treasure can all be used as payment!”
‘What?’
At these words, the crowd suddenly became restless.
Apart from money being fairly common, Su Lu’s proposed trades – either the potions, the fourth level job information, or Gaosuo’s treasure map – were all extraordinary items.
Of course, the Disguiser was not an ordinary spiritual body that was hard to get rid of, let alone to strip its entire face off.
‘Which job does the fourth level job information belong to?’
‘Gaosuo’s treasure map? Could it be the one that has been causing a stir recently, the one related to Gered?’
Questions were continuously raised from all around.
Seeing this, Su Lu smiled.
He didn’t fear others being greedy, but he was afraid of apathy.
It seemed like his bait was enticing enough to attract a substantial number of Transcendents.
“We can discuss the details in private, but the precondition is that you must have the material I need!”
Glancing at the restless crowd, Su Lu calmly replied.
‘Damn…Disguisers, those Spirit World creatures are rarely seen!’ ‘I saw one at an auction before, but didn’t manage to acquire it…’
‘I remember…’
Even the masked old man hosting the event was startled. He stared at Su Lu with an ambiguous look.
‘I have it!’
‘I have the face of the Disguiser!’
Suddenly, two voices rang out.
One was from a man in a black robe, the other, quite surprisingly to Su Lu, came from the cloaked woman who had just returned to her seat.
‘Good! We can talk privately!’
Su Lu then turned to the old man from earlier.
There were a few stone houses by the side of the salon’s square, built specifically for this type of situation.
‘You may go.’
With a nod from the old man, Su Lu chose the cloaked woman and entered a stone house with her.
The house was enclosed on all sides and had a special effect that could prevent prying eyes.
“I need to verify the goods first!”
Su Lu said, eyeing the female in the cloak.
‘No problem!’
The woman handed over an iron box. Su Lu examined it with his spiritual power, then slowly opened it.
Inside the box was a ball of dark green gelatin.
Correct!
Once the face of the Disguiser had been stripped off, it took on the form of this gelatinous substance.
Materials from the Spirit World were often strange, and some even needed special methods for preservation, otherwise, they could easily evaporate.
‘Hmm, it indeed is!’
Su Lu nodded, looking at the cloaked woman: “So, what do you want?”
‘Would you assassinate that third-level job holder for me?’ The cloaked woman laughed, but then added, ‘Forget it, you don’t seem like the adventurous type. I just want to know the name of the fourth level job information you have.’
‘Alright, the job information I possess are the fourth tiers [Master of Combat], [Blast Master], and [Master of Alchemy].’ Su Lu slowly replied.
These three pieces of fourth-tier job information were the spoils he had pillaged last time when the Spirit of the White Tower was destroyed.
As for his own heritage, of course, he couldn’t sell it.
In the Federation, a complete heritage from first to fourth level could propel a Transcendent family to rise.
Even though these were just three fourth-tier jobs, their value was inestimable.
But Su Lu was slightly nervous inside, as it was unlikely to perfectly fit the woman’s job path.
‘It’s these three?’ The cloaked woman exclaimed, ‘This is a tough choice indeed.
The [Blast Master] undoubtedly has the highest value, but the [Master of Alchemy] is more suited to my situation…’
It seemed like she was despising the [Master of Combat].
‘[Blast Master], has the highest value?’ Su Lu was truly surprised by this.
He had thought that the [Master of Alchemy] job, which was favored by spellcasters, was the most valuable among the three.
‘Of course, haven’t you heard of the special job switch of the Green Tree Castle National Laboratory – [Mechanical Master]?’ The cloaked woman gave Su Lu a strange look, ‘[Blast Master] is the prerequisite for the job switch to [Mechanical Master]
‘What?’ Su Lu widened his eyes. He really did not know this.
But he still remembered the horror of the fourth-level [Mechanical Master]. As long as the Mecha was built, it could display power comparable to that of a legendary Occupational Person!
‘But the special job switch of [Mechanical Master] seems to have some flaws… otherwise, it should directly be a legendary level job.’
‘I’ve made up my mind, I want [Master of Alchemy]!’ The cloaked woman suddenly said, then asked, ‘Would you sell the promotion information of [Blast Master]? I’ll pay in Golden Dragons!’
‘That’s not for sale!’
Su Lu shook his head. He got the feeling that this woman was not an Alchemy Apprentice, but he didn’t care about what she wanted with it, ‘In that case… the job information of [Master of Alchemy] in exchange for the face of Disguiser. If you agree, then let’s proceed with the trade.’
‘Alright.’
The cloaked woman returned to the salon with Su Lu, each placing their items on the Scales of Justice.
The woman naturally placed the iron box housing the face of the Disguiser, while Su Lu put a piece of parchment, which he had already copied, onto the scales.
Thud!
One end of the Scales of Justice was pressed down heavily by a piece of parchment, almost hitting the stone platform.
‘It should be… job information, of the fourth level?!’
All those present were experienced and their eyes lit up, filled with amazement..
