[Politician’s Medal (Blue Treasure): Occupies decoration slot when equipped, enhances the effect of Diplomacy Skill, reduces surrender costs by 10%.]

Looking at the [Politician’s Medal], a peculiar expression flashed in Gu Xi’s eyes, and he wanted to acquire it.

At this moment, Zuo Ya finished his conversation with the others and approached Gu Xi with three pieces of Fish Dragon Bone he had just borrowed.

Gu Xi then withdrew his gaze and looked at the Fish Dragon Bones that Zuo Ya was holding.

If Zuo Ya hadn’t mentioned it earlier, Gu Xi would have thought these three pieces of Fish Dragon Bone were made of brass; all the Fish Dragon Bones were brass-colored and shimmered with a metallic luster when held in hand.

Taking the Fish Dragon Bones, Gu Xi thought for a moment, then waved his hand towards the sky.

The Death Incarnation quickly descended, crouching before Gu Xi.

Gu Xi raised his hand, and a piece of Fish Dragon Bone was fed into the Death Incarnation’s mouth.

Gu Xi then saw the Death Incarnation’s bones slowly turning brass-colored from scorched black.

From the Death Incarnation’s actions, it was clear that its bone hardness had significantly strengthened, and its body appeared much stronger.

Estimating the volume of the Death Incarnation and the yellowing speed, Gu Xi guessed that it would take at least ten pieces of Fish Dragon Bone to turn the Death Incarnation into pure brass.

If he hadn’t encountered this now, Gu Xi might not have had the opportunity to search for it.

But now, Gu Xi turned to Zuo Ya.

"Brother Zuo, are your Fish Dragon Bones for sale?"

"Sorry, but we have our plans for the Fish Dragon Bones and aren’t selling them. However, you can check the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon shop in the city; Copper Bone is not a restricted item and is available for purchase there."

It would be impossible for Gu Xi not to feel a bit disappointed with such a response.

But he didn’t insist.

After all, this concerns the key to Undead Mages reaching Level 10.

Gu Xi already has the Death Incarnation, so he doesn’t need to worry about this, but the Undead Mages in front of him don’t have it.

They are all preparing to reach Level 10 right now.

Zuo Ya must have promised to return the borrowed Fish Dragon Bone shortly after.

It was almost impossible for Gu Xi to buy other Fish Dragon Bones.

With this in mind, Gu Xi calmed his desire to purchase and focused on the [Politician’s Medal].

"I plan to bid on this item."

"Sure, I’ll refrain from participating."

Zuo Ya said, withdrawing from the bidding.

Having just bought a piece of purple equipment, his hands were empty; he feared he had no money for another blue treasure. Moreover, it’s not something an Undead Mage must have, so he decisively chose to abandon it.

The other players glanced at each other, deciding to forego or offering a reasonable bid to indicate their stance.

They didn’t intend to compete with Gu Xi for the blue treasure.

After two rounds of bidding, Gu Xi bought the [Politician’s Medal] for 2500 units of Negative Energy.

After receiving the [Politician’s Medal], Gu Xi immediately pinned it to the [Medal of Valor Ribbon].

This move made Zuo Ya somewhat confused, prompting him to ask.

"Do you have Leadership or Morale-type skills?"

"No, but I want to learn the Death Decree."

Hearing this, Zuo Ya understood Gu Xi’s intention.

Death Decree allows all neutral creatures that surrender and join the Undead Mage’s army to be automatically converted into corresponding Undead Creatures according to their troop level and upgrade status.

This is a new route for replenishing troops for Undead Mages.

However, few Undead Mages are willing to take this path because one must have Leadership skills first to pursue it.

Only players with bad luck at the start would make this choice, while most Undead Mages prefer the orthodox path; whether it’s Summoning or replenishing troops, it’s smoother than this route.

Zuo Ya didn’t mock Gu Xi, as Gu Xi’s choice didn’t concern him.

After dividing the money, Zuo Ya and his team brought out the green and blue equipment they gained, along with various information and world-exclusive treasures.

Earlier was the bidding phase, and now it’s time for distribution.

Zuo Ya straightforwardly divided half of the white and gray items directly with Gu Xi.

Gu Xi politely accepted, having the Ghost Squad deliver them back to Yalidu City.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi focused on the blue and green items.

This battlefield cleaning yielded over forty blue and green items.

Some were found on players, some left behind by powerful enemies who perished, and some were produced by the mysterious forces of the game world.

Regardless of how they were obtained, these items were now displayed before Gu Xi, who had the right to choose three items first, after which players would take turns selecting.

Scanning the items on site, Gu Xi immediately pointed at a few things.

"This one, this one, and this one."

This time, Gu Xi was not polite and chose three blue items instantly.

One item was an equipment useful for an Undead Mage, another was a tool applicable to Yalidu City, and a piece was an ’gem’ intended for inlay.

These were all items that could be quickly utilized to boost Gu Xi’s combat power.

So Gu Xi made his choice right away, without fear of being called greedy.

The most eye-catching among the three items was the ’gem’ intended for inlay.

Calling it a gem, it was actually a painting that depicted the battle they just had.

Undead battling Demons and Demon Corps.

This painting was a mess, and from a distance, it appeared like gray, black, and red paint haphazardly smeared on a canvas.

[Blood Battlefield (Blue): The aggregation of power after a major battle with over ten thousand participants, containing random undead, demon, mysterious, or other undetermined forces, can provide two to three random traits to the item it is inlaid into.]

Then there was a piece of equipment created from some unknown slain strange entity, a pair of white gloves.

[Twisted Human Hide (Blue, Gloves, Cloth Armor)]

[Defense: 3]

[After equipping: Intelligence +4]

[Equipment Requirement: Intelligence 4]

[Special 1: Twisted Rules, randomly reduces the special effect of one piece of purple equipment each day, duration one day (can only reduce, not completely negate the special effect).]

[Special 2: Amplify Desire, 30% chance to double the power of attacks (includes magic and ranged attacks, but not commanding troops’ attacks).]

[Note: Is the twisted power from the spirit or from the mysterious?]
