Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 240 Dragon Blood Couple and the Scavenging Skeleton Man
Good news! The four pieces of equipment—the Python Pattern Robe, the Corpse Dragon Jade Bead, the Dragon Soul Armor, and the Punishment Dragon Eye—are all True Spirit equipment.

The first two are of the excellent grade, but can be upgraded to the superior grade.

The latter two are similar, with the last True Spirit attribute being able to be upgraded to the next quality level, and there are as many as fifteen True Spirit attributes.

It can be said to be the top-tier equipment in Tier 1.

Unfortunately, it has bloodline requirements, and I don't know if anyone can afford it.

Anyway, after confirming the True Spirit attribute, Chu Danqing found a place to set up a stall and even packaged the Corpse Dragon Transformation skill book and the Corpse Dragon Jade Bead together for sale.

These two can complement each other. Several subsequent entries for the Corpse Dragon Jade Pearl are all related to the Corpse Dragon Transformation.

After stating his conditions, Chu Danqing continued to read and review his books.

The market is huge, but the region is also huge. Even if someone is interested, it will take time for them to come over.

About three hours later, someone finally arrived with the things Chu Danqing needed.

It was a woman with a pair of deer antlers on her head.

But if you look closely, you'll realize that these are not deer antlers at all, but dragon antlers.

One of the characteristics of the Eastern dragon is that its antlers resemble those of a deer.

This means that the opponent has dragon blood and is targeting the Dragon Soul Armor and the Punishment Dragon Eye.

"Where did you get these things?" The apostle's expression wasn't pleasant after examining the attributes of the two pieces of equipment.

Chu Danqing also noticed the change in the other party's emotions; it seemed that the other party was angry.

He understood immediately why; it was simply because he had realized the origin of the dragons' resentment.

"It came from a treasure chest," Chu Danqing replied, not obligated to explain in detail.

If you don't want it, someone else will.

"I want it, let's make a deal." The other party said with an attitude of "I'm letting you off the hook, you're getting a good deal."

Chu Danqing didn't understand: "No, what about the items being traded? I haven't even seen them yet, how can we trade?"

"Heh, do I need to tell you where you got this stuff?" the other person said arrogantly. "If I saw these two pieces of equipment from you, I would be doing you a favor by not chasing you down. And you still dare to ask me for money."

She had barely finished speaking when another person interrupted.

"If you don't have money, you don't have money. Why are you acting all high and mighty here?" The newcomer had eyes like a dragon's pupils and exuded a faint dragon's might. "Dude, this woman is just here to cause trouble."

“I really want it, look at this.”

Chu Danqing first sized up the man with dragon eyes, and then turned to look at the woman with dragon horns.

Then, speechless, he said, "Is it fun to put on a show? Give me a fair price; it's not like I'm refusing to sell to you."

Do you really think Chu Danqing is a fool? With his LV.4 level of command proficiency, he can easily tell that these two are completely staging their own performance.

Especially the dragon-horned woman, her acting skills are good, but she never actually intended to get something for nothing. She just wanted to accumulate badwill first, and then let the dragon-eyed man come out to win favor in order to lower the price.

Although the two arrived one after the other, the concept of "couple resemblance" refers not only to facial features but also to their temperament and subconscious behaviors.

Moreover, they're already at Tier 1; where would you find such a foolish apostle?

Well, they will still happen, it's just that Chu Danqing didn't encounter them, after all, the survival rate in the amusement park is indeed high.

But these two people in front of me are definitely not fools.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, the two remained expressionless.

"Here are my conditions: a superior-grade equipment synthesizer and a superior-grade passive skill that can provide a shield for all summoned creatures."

"There is also a specific palanquin-type excellent-grade equipment with full True Spirit, plus an excellent-grade passive skill that buffs self-harming summons."

"If you have them, you can take these two pieces of equipment; if not, wait for the next one."

"You can see the value of these two pieces of equipment; they have a total of fifteen True Spirit Awakenings."

"Even among the superior-grade equipment, it is the most top-tier True Spirit equipment, not to mention that the final attribute is to improve quality."

"So don't try to play any tricks on me, it's pointless," Chu Danqing said.

He didn't have time to watch these two put on a show; everyone's time was precious.

"The only difference is the excellent-level passive skill you wanted; what I have here is an active skill." The man with the dragon eyes awkwardly showed Chu Danqing a skill book.

Chu Danqing was somewhat tempted upon seeing this.

Although it is an active skill, it is similar to Da Bao's Tear Claws, and it can remain active as long as it consumes mana after activation.

It's similar to a passive skill, except it requires mana.

However, the results are indeed quite good.

"You'll have to pay the difference," Chu Danqing said.

Under the same conditions, the benefits provided by active skills are naturally stronger than those of passive skills, since they consume resources.

“Okay, I’ll add a superior-grade self-harming summon buff for you.” The man with the dragon eyes was clearly prepared, having anticipated that Chu Danqing would raise the price.

He then displayed all the items he had traded.

Chu Danqing glanced at it and then immediately chose to make a deal.

You sold: Dragon Soul Armor and Dragon Eye of Calamity, and obtained: Equipment Synthesizer (Superior Grade), Skill Book (Array Defense), Flying Cloud Chariot, Skill Book (Sacrifice Bone Armor), Skill Book (Last Stand Burst)

The first two are of the Excellent grade, while the last three are of the Fine grade. At first glance, it seems like the other party is at a disadvantage, after all, they traded two Excellent and three Fine grades for Chu Danqing's two Excellent grades.

However, it cannot be calculated that way; we still need to look at the value.

If quality alone is enough to determine the equivalent, wouldn't that mean even a mediocre, superior-grade material could be exchanged for a top-tier, superior-grade True Spirit equipment?
Others having such thoughts certainly won't bother Chu Danqing, but if they want his equipment, they either have to accept his pricing or not buy it at all.

Equipment synthesizers aren't exactly rare; it's just that Chu Danqing needs the superior grade, which is scarce at Tier 1.

It's similar in nature to the advanced equipment synthesizer in the reserve force.

Therefore, you can't exchange it for a superior quality True Spirit equipment; you can only pay the price difference.

The transaction was completed. The dragon-horned woman happily accepted the Dragon Soul Armor and put it into her storage space. She and the dragon-eyed man ignored Chu Danqing and headed towards the True Spirit Hall.

As for considering Chu Danqing's feelings? There's absolutely no need.

Their act was simply to acquire these two pieces of equipment. Now that they've got them, it'll be difficult for them to see Chu Danqing again, so why bother caring about his feelings?

Chu Danqing didn't care; the transaction was settled, and he hadn't lost anything.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Chu Danqing is considering whether he should pack up and leave.

The remaining items, such as the python-patterned robe, the corpse dragon jade bead, and the corpse dragon transformation, are not urgent and can be sold slowly.

Just as they were about to pack up and leave, a slightly hoarse voice came over.

"Don't rush off. These three items look pretty good to me." A person wearing skull armor picked up the Corpse Dragon Jade Bead: "A self-harming passive skill that meets your requirements, of excellent quality. You can trade one for three and make up the difference."

Upon seeing this, Chu Danqing put his things down. He could sense an interesting aura emanating from the skeleton man.

It is both an undead life form and a mechanically modified form.

"No money, no trade." Chu Danqing refused directly.

He certainly knew that the superior grade was better, but the problem was that he had limited resources, so it was impossible to give it to him.

This made the skeleton man smile: "You can take the equipment."

"Get lost," Chu Danqing said bluntly.

"Either get low-barrier detection equipment, or get the two skills I need."

The item is in his possession; whether or not to sell it is entirely up to him.

Seeing this, the other party stroked the Corpse Dragon Jade Bead and finally said, "You don't need to make up the difference for the one-for-three exchange."

Chu Danqing was somewhat surprised. What was this all about?

He immediately became alert and continued, "I won't sell it to you."

There will be no pie in the sky.

Chu Danqing thought to himself that these two pieces of equipment and one skill book were very valuable at the excellent level, but he didn't think that the three of them could be exchanged for a passive skill of superior quality.

"Oh, don't worry, no problem, we can have it notarized."

"I just happen to need your Corpse Dragon Jade Bead and Corpse Dragon Transformation; the python-patterned robe is just a bonus," the skeleton man said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing understood that the real extras were probably these two; what the other party wanted was the python-patterned floral dress.

This is a prince's robe, which is not only a piece of equipment but also represents power.

Perhaps the other party needs this robe to perform certain actions.

As for the type of shroud? The other party is already a mechanically modified undead, so it's not unusual for them to use a shroud.

"Okay." Chu Danqing agreed. Since the other party was willing to notarize it, what was he afraid of?

As for the other party's willingness to sell at a discount, that has nothing to do with Chu Danqing.

The notarization begins, and then the transaction proceeds.

You sold: Python Pattern Robe, Corpse Dragon Jade Bead, Corpse Dragon Transformation, and obtained: Skill Book (Blessing of the Dead)

"You know what? This thing is in hand," the skeleton man said with a mechanical laugh, as if he wanted to say something.

Chu Danqing completely ignored him, simply cleared away her stall, and turned to leave.

If the other party is able to take advantage of a loophole, that's their skill.

In the eyes of the skeleton man, Chu Danqing suffered a loss, but for Chu Danqing, it couldn't be calculated that way at all.

Trading three Excellent-grade items for one Superior-grade item seems like a win for him.

What? Two pieces of equipment can be upgraded to Excellent quality? Does that not cost money?
If you really calculate it that way, he won't be able to sell a single one of these things.

Seeing Chu Danqing leave, the skeleton man's words were stuck in his throat, and a human-like helplessness appeared on his face.

Chu Danqing hurried back to his room and took out the superior-grade equipment synthesizer to begin the synthesis process.

As for self-damaging summoning active skills that do not reduce combat power, the difficulty of these skills lies in not reducing combat power.

After all, a drop in health points almost always leads to a decline in bodily functions.

Then, if it's limited to the summoning category, there are even fewer.

It's not that these skills don't exist in the market, but rather that there's no demand for them.
