Chapter 502 - 471: Thunder God Set
Da Fei led the bewildered Sain to the dock. At that moment, the Magic Eye Skin hung like a curtain high on the wall, completely covering a stretch of the high wall.
Sain was astonished, "Lord City Lord, what is this?"
Da Fei sighed deeply, "The shell of the Magic Eye, a legendary top-tier material for making hot air balloons. Originally, I intended to sell it to Mr. Sain to foster friendship with your guild. However, if your guild really doesn’t wish to trade with me, then I’ll have no choice but to sell it to the goblins."
Deirdre immediately chimed in, "And this isn’t just any ordinary Magic Eye. Its material has already acquired invisibility capabilities—completely different from standard balloons. We also know that the Mage Guild has been responding to the call of the Titan Lord to research the Divine Artifact Sky Ship. Money isn’t the issue; the problem is the lack of top-tier materials! Now, the top-tier material is right here!"
A shiver ran through Da Fei! Divine Artifact Sky Ship? What on earth is that? I didn’t know! Damn, why didn’t you tell me earlier, my precious? This is a divine artifact material! How much could it be worth!
Meanwhile, Sain was utterly shocked. The electric sparks started crackling from the twin eyes looking at the enormous skin!
He was tempted! This is promising!
Da Fei chuckled and sighed, "Mr. Sain, although I don’t know why, is my relationship with your guild truly beyond repair?"
Sain snapped back to reality and bowed deeply again, "Lord City Lord, I apologize on behalf of the guild once again, but please grant me another opportunity to negotiate. Please, Lord City Lord, wait just a moment. I’ll give it my all this time!"
Whoa! "Mr. City Lord" became "Lord City Lord," and you’ve become "you" too! As long as there’s good merchandise, this deal is hard not to make!
Da Fei burst into laughter, "It’s always been my wish to collaborate long-term with your esteemed guild. Alright, I’m looking forward to your good news!"
"Thank you, my lord!" Without another word, Sain disappeared with a pop into purple smoke!
Da Fei laughed maniacally, unable to resist hugging Deirdre and giving her a big kiss, "Oh my sweetie! This can create a divine artifact? Why didn’t you say it sooner?"
Deirdre shyly responded, "Master, please stop! I thought everyone in the surface world knew about this! Master, please let go!"
Selvia coldly chimed in, "Captain, please have some respect!"
Damn it! Da Fei reluctantly let her go, cleared his throat, and said, "So, uh, how much can it sell for?"
Deirdre chuckled, "Top-tier materials might not be quantifiable by money. Since the other party has already severed ties with you, this transaction might really be the last one, so why not open a lion’s mouth and constantly challenge his limit?"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, "Can it really be done?"
Deirdre smiled, "Well, as Lord City Lord, you should still leave some wiggle room. It’ll be inconvenient for you to say certain things, so leave it to me, alright?"
Da Fei nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright!" Last time at the trading house, Da Fei had witnessed Deirdre’s prowess; a hero without any Bargaining Skill actually achieved the effect of Master-level Negotiation Skill and finally grasped it by dickering with the manager. This is out-of-this-world! Or perhaps, it’s the innate greed of being a demon?
Alright, I’ve got faith in you!
As they spoke, the Teleportation Array flashed continuously, and three Lamp Gods appeared, one of whom was, of course, Sain.
Hahaha! Back so soon, this is efficiency! This is absolutely a business deal too big for him to handle alone, so he brought reinforcements!
Da Fei eagerly stepped up to greet, "Mr. Sain, hello!"
Sain stepped aside and introduced the two portly Lamp Gods to Da Fei, "Lord City Lord, this is our guild manager Mr. Mahir, and this is our guild accountant Mr. Temokhan. We are here to negotiate the transaction with the Lord."
Then he bowed to the manager, "Manager, this is Da Fei, City Lord of Radiant City!"
Da Fei chuckled, "Pleasure to meet you, pleasure to meet you!"
Hahaha, even brought the accountant along—this must mean they intend to settle the account on the spot, huh? So straightforward! I like it!
The portly manager came forward, beaming, to shake hands, "I’m terribly sorry, Lord City Lord, since our Seven Cities Alliance adheres to a principle of neutrality, and Radiant City is indeed a battlefield between Elf Force and Hell Power, selling items to Mr. Xiang might violate our neutrality principle. Hence, your order was rejected by the higher-ups. I sincerely apologize, but this doesn’t affect the friendly trade relations we maintain with Lord City Lord’s guild."
My goodness! Who would believe such a reason! Da Fei burst out laughing, "So, that’s how it is, fair enough! You folks also have your principles, no problem, no worries. Manager, please take a look at the goods!"
In no time, the group returned to the wall and couldn’t help but admire.
The portly manager praised, "Good stuff! This is indeed material for crafting top-notch hot air balloons. Its value can’t be measured in Gold Coins!"
Da Fei’s brow bounced! Huh? The saying goes that business is never honest. If he admits it’s good stuff from the get-go, won’t that hamper the negotiations?
The portly man continued, "—Alright, we mages value efficiency, so, I’ll make a direct offer, one hundred million Gold Coins along with any item on this order list! If you don’t want the Gold Coins, you can choose merchandise from the list with a total value of a hundred million Gold Coins instead, how about that? Even the goblins, with their notorious cunning and calculation, couldn’t possibly offer more than me! And my authority only goes this far, any higher and it would violate guild rules. I’d have to express my deep regret then."
As he said this, a magic glowing order sheet appeared before Da Fei.
Da Fei was taken aback! Damn, first devalue the goblins, then talk about guild rules; this is a preemptive move to block me from naming an exorbitant price! Are they certain I’d want to trade?
Da Fei took the order form and inhaled sharply! At first glance, it’s expensive! Damn it, without considering the function, each item is about 40, 50, 60, or 70, 80 million, meaning even if I don’t want the one hundred million Gold Coins, I could only trade for two or three items. Damn! If it weren’t for playing a game where the system’s prices have rules, who would believe such prices! How about pricing everything at one hundred million each!
The second impression, impressive! Various S-level strategic equipment, top-tier units like Titans, building blueprints for Puppet Dragon structures, blueprints for high-end functional buildings, and formulas for super red-blue status Alchemy Potions, etc., etc.! You could say that picking even one would make this Player Lord wealthy!
Wait! Suddenly, Da Fei’s eyes widened. Among these pieces of equipment, Da Fei spotted the S-level strategic equipment Thunder God Armor; isn’t this part of the Combined Divine Artifact set with the Thunder God’s Helmet from salvaging the treasure chest?
—Thunder God Armor: S-level strategic equipment, Magic Power +20, Knowledge +20, increase in Thunder Magic power +20%. A component of the Combined Divine Artifact Thunder God Set.
(Two-piece set effect, personal defense +30, personal life +100, mana +100)
Dang! Although priced at 80 million, with the requirement of the Seven Cities Alliance’s revered reputation, I remember this thing on the treasure chest’s order list as a bonus when buying the Divine Storm Tower! If even such impressive equipment is a bonus, how powerful was the full force of the Storm Tower?
Now, with the Thunder God Armor, are there more Thunder God components?
Da Fei flipped through the list and quickly found the Thunder God’s Helmet! Good grief! Ninety million Gold Coins! Yet the attributes are the same! Thankfully, I already have this item! I continued flipping!
Found it!
—Thunder God Power: S-level strategic equipment, belt-positioned, Magic Power +30, Knowledge +30, increase in Thunder Magic power +30%...
(Three-piece set effect, personal defense +60, personal life +300, mana +300)
Oh dear! The price of this component is the one hundred million Gold Coins! Meaning if I don’t want the one hundred million Gold Coins, I can only exchange for a belt and an armor! In the players’ market, is spending one hundred million Gold Coins on this worth it? Isn’t that obvious? The tycoons would go crazy!
+30 Magic Power +30 Knowledge, sixty attribute points, much better than the 10 Defense from my B-grade equipment Spider Demon Armor by several streets! A normal hero increases by only 2 attribute points per level, equivalent to a hero leveling up 30 times! How many times can someone level up 30 times in life? All of my secondary professions combined only give an extra hundred or so attribute points, and someone can match that gap with one set of God-level equipment!
Strong! Overflowing with strength!
The problem is the three-piece set isn’t complete! Da Fei couldn’t help asking, "Elf gentleman, how many pieces are in the Thunder God set?"
The portly manager smiled, "Indeed, you are keen-eyed, Lord City Lord. The set has four pieces, but we only exchange these three pieces because the crucial component, the Thunder God’s Hammer, is a Divine Artifact Level item itself. Yet even with these three pieces, it’ll still be spectacular!"
What nonsense! Do you know how annoying and frustrating it is to be three short of one? Rather stay oblivious than be so mentally troubled!
The portly manager asked, "Well, do you have your heart set on any choice, Lord City Lord?"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, indeed I have my heart set! As for the structures and units, they’re often left behind, and I’ve realized through my recent adventures that the constraints are too many. Only such Thunder God sets, which boost spell power, firm my backing in personal strength. Regardless of time and place, one’s own strength is most reliable! Say no more, whether Selvia or Anlicia uses it, with the support of so many points in Magic Power and Knowledge attributes, it’s guaranteed a God-level Hero would emerge. Then, save a few Skill Points to have them learn Master-level Destruction Skill, wouldn’t one lightning strike take down the world?
Who dares to monitor me later? What is a Phoenix Feather? In an even less credible note, there’s still a Dark Elf in the Dwarf Dungeon getting cleaned up, waiting for me! Dark Elves are the true experts in Destruction Magic!
But, is this deal really worth it for me?
Da Fei turned his pleading eyes to Deirdre, come on! Although this Wind Fatty has set a lower limit, limits are for breaking through; time for your no-limits approach!
