The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 828 - 560: The Shrunken Pyramid and Doctor Nile’s Request_2
CHAPTER 828: CHAPTER 560: THE SHRUNKEN PYRAMID AND DOCTOR NILE’S REQUEST_2
The projector introduced.
"This is a great thing."
Liu Zheng’s eyes lit up.
The average values in the Metropolis were strange; as long as he found an opponent with noticeably high values to duel, and then used an item to take them down, he could easily gain a lot of attributes for free.
"In the extraordinary space, both parties’ Extraordinary Items are prohibited, unless they can break through the power of the space’s creator."
The projector continued.
"Who is the creator of this extraordinary space?"
He asked.
"Jack Engli. A gentleman among demons, a demon among gentlemen. After causing multiple major bloodshed incidents, he was pursued by the security department and then disappeared."
"But a Travel Mage claimed to have seen him in the Bottomless Abyss, and he had become a Demon Lord of some layer."
The projector replied.
"Forget it, pretend I never asked."
It was impressive enough to escape pursuit by the security department, and to then flee the Metropolis and become a Demon Lord was not something he was capable of breaking through.
And once Extraordinary Items are banned, his power would only be on par with those fish killed by the salmon, and there are some species he couldn’t even defeat.
"I’ll offer this."
The second buyer immediately raised a sign as well.
This collector was an octopus as tall as a person, wearing a white chef’s hat on its head and a white chef’s coat on its body, clearly a chef.
And the item it brought out was also kitchen-related, but it wasn’t a kitchen knife; it was a cutting board.
The cutting board looked like it was made from a single piece of wood, with natural wood grain on it, but without the knife marks or dents typical of long-term use.
"Master Chef’s Cutting Board. Can be used as a shield, and any weapon that fits the definition of a kitchen knife cannot penetrate it. It’s highly resistant to sharp weapons, but slightly less effective against blunt weapons."
"When used as an item, it can turn an enemy in an ’unable to control their own actions’ state into a random fish on the cutting board and seal their Extraordinary Abilities and Extraordinary Items."
The projector introduced.
"Man is the knife and I am the fish, right?"
Armor plus a control item, interesting, but not very much.
If the enemy is in an "unable to control their own actions" state, he can already take the opportunity to kill them without needing to transform them into a fish on a cutting board.
Seeing the timing was right, Liu Zheng raised his sign as well.
He took a parchment from the system space and handed it to the projector.
"Name: Death God’s List"
"Type: Equipment"
"Quality: Perfect"
"Effect one: Generate a kill list based on the current instance’s situation. Completing the kill list grants a random reward (including but not limited to attribute increase, Hell points, random quality items, etc.)."
"Effect two: The kill list will refresh after completing the previous list or after instance switching."
"Effect three: In every instance, at least one kill list must be completed, or the Death God will personally oversee it."
"Effect four: Once equipped, this item cannot be removed by conventional means."
"Remark: Aren’t you going to work? The Death God is here to take you!"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
Although this item has very powerful effects, and if operated well, can even surpass the effects of Legendary or even Epic-level equipment.
But the downside is also quite strong, making him hesitant.
Just handling familiar tasks had Liu Zheng busy enough, and if the Death God were to supervise him as well, how would he survive?
With both being operational items and of Perfect quality, using the Legendary Takeout Box is simply more straightforward, safe, and environmentally friendly.
Think about the set items of those Legendary delivery men; the effects are also very simple and practical.
Truly, a product from a Legendary delivery man must be a top quality item.
After Liu Zheng raised his sign, more people continued to raise their signs.
This round of bidding was as intense as the first round for the mermaid princess’s initial tears, but whether these bidders were aiming for the Pyramid or the three mummies inside, it was hard to say.
However, with his Death God’s List setting the standard, the subsequent competition items were increasingly high-end.
Finally, just as the Penguin Captain was about to announce the closure, another heavyweight item entered the auction.
It was a leather pouch, and opening it revealed a bunch of Gold Coins with one half missing.
The coins were engraved with many mysterious characters, and the characters constantly changed, disappeared, and reappeared.
"Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag, using the coins allows you to summon Spirit Realm beings to serve you. The more coins used, the stronger the Spirit Realm beings summoned, the more they are willing to do for you, and the longer they stay in the physical world."
"At the same time, every Spirit Realm coin used requires ’flesh’ to compensate for the coin’s deficiency; using one’s own ’flesh’ is more effective than using someone else’s."
"If the user’s charm is high enough, and persuasion strong enough, they can even convince the Spirit Realm beings to do more than the coin’s worth."
"Currently, the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag still contains 32 Spirit Realm coins."
The projector voluntarily introduced.
"What level of Spirit Realm creature can be summoned with one Spirit Realm coin?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"That, I don’t know. But as far as I know, Spirit Realm creatures are particularly adept at stealth, tracking, ambush, and curses. Even the lowest level Spirit Realm creature is quite the helper."
The projector said.
"Is that so?"
He was tempted once more.
However, just like with the vampire knight’s heart before, he would have to wait until it was up for auction to have a chance.
After the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag, the sixth round of the auction entered the closing phase.
The Penguin Captain brought out the timer and began counting down immediately.
But when the timer was counting down to the last ten seconds, the seller still hadn’t made a decision.
"Is it going to be a no-sale?"
Liu Zheng’s heart tightened.
At this moment, the Penguin Captain suddenly made a gesture of listening attentively.
"The seller has requested that I give you all another opportunity to add items to the auction, and considering the poor outcome of the last auction, I have agreed to their request. Now you may each add one auction item, but only one opportunity and one additional item per person."
The Penguin Captain pressed the pause button, and the timer stopped at 00:05.
"Add auction items?"
Liu Zheng looked at the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag projection on the auction table, and his intuition told him that the seller was hesitating between the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag and his Death God’s List.
If aiming for stability, then of course it would be wise to add another Perfect quality item.
But he didn’t have many Perfect quality items left, and he was reluctant to just use one up like this.
Moreover, Liu Zheng didn’t think his opponent would add another Perfect quality item.
After all, if they were truly so wealthy, they wouldn’t have joined the auction at the last moment.
So, if he needed to add an excellent quality item, he would have to choose carefully.
He rummaged through the system space for a while and finally had a breakthrough.
A bamboo back scratcher, except the hand is not a fake hand made of bamboo, but several human fingers twisted and entangled together.
"Name: Endless Joy for the Elderly (Disposable)"
"Type: Item"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect: Upon contact with a target, the target will enter a state of persistent intense itching, even targets without the corresponding sensory system will feel discomfort on a spiritual level. Duration is inversely proportional to the target’s Spiritual Attribute, minimum of one second."
"Remark: The more you scratch, the itchier it gets, the itchier it gets, the more you scratch."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Isn’t this the thing you used Masticated Wine to trick me into trading the last time?"
The French Plane Tree exclaimed.
"What do you mean trick? It’s called a trade."
Liu Zheng corrected.
"Call it whatever you want. I can’t believe you haven’t used it yet; it’s a miracle."
The French Plane Tree smirked.
This foolish human tricked so many things out of it, beside equipment, nothing could be kept, and it was used up immediately.
"I think so too. Maybe there were just too many items, and I forgot about it. But it’s just as well, now it can be put to use. Honored Mr. Delago, do you think using this to bid will win it?"
He humbly asked.
"I’m just a collector, not the god of collections. How would I know what the seller values?"
The French Plane Tree rolled its eyes.
"However, this ’Endless Joy for the Elderly’ is indeed a very interesting collectible. At first, someone even wanted to trade three excellent quality items for it."
"Then it’s decided."
Liu Zheng made his decision.
If the bid fails, then even if he has to figure out a way to leave the country, he will bring back some members for Doctor Nile.
