Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

The materials needed for Chapter 570's +12 enhancement have been found!
[Transformation complete. You have acquired the class talent: Beast in Human Clothing]

Chu Danqing stared in silence at the broken professional talent extraction converter and the displayed prompt.

Why is "professional talent" called that?

Could it be that it's been corrupted by the effect of the Owl Jade Seal?

Suppressing the urge to complain, Chu Danqing opened the panel to take a look.

【A beast in human clothing (profession)】

【Effect 1: Charisma + (Rank x 10)】

[Effect 2: Initial favorability with native inhabitants + (rank x 10)]

【Effect 3: Personal Aura + (Rank × 10)%】

【Effect 4: Self-affinity + (Rank × 10)%】

【Effect 5: When negotiating with natives of imperial or noble status, gain an additional +(rank x 10)% charm】

[Effect 6: When facing civil and military officials.]

[Effect 7: Facing aristocratic but impoverished families.]

[Effect 8: Facing displaced people]

[Effect 9: Facing bandits and rebels.]

The moment Chu Danqing saw the number, he knew it was a talent for growth.

The numbers following can be invested in growth talent crystals for further growth.

Of course, if you don't have this, there are other items and consumables that can enhance your talent growth.

You can also cultivate yourself or grow through other means.

However, this requires qualifications and resources. In addition to these two, most people who want to grow independently also need enough time.

"So you're such a hypocrite." Chu Danqing finally understood.

The birds associated with civil officials and the beasts associated with military officials, when combined, constitute the term "beast in human clothing."

"But it's still a derogatory term," Chu Danqing remarked.

After getting up and stretching, Chu Danqing realized that Guo Ming and Da Bao were currently having a celebratory banquet, while Chu Danqing was planning to meet the broker.

For no other reason than that the broker had found the +12 enhancement pad that he had previously messaged him about.

Chu Danqing couldn't leave because of the talent extraction converter, so he asked them to wait a while.

Now that everything's settled, I'll go check it out.

Upon arrival, an elderly man was chatting with the broker.

Upon seeing Chu Danqing arrive, the broker quickly stood up and said, "Guest, this is Jin Zhong, and this is his equipment."

Upon seeing this, Chu Danqing asked, "Hello sir, may I take a look at your equipment?"

He didn't care what kind of equipment it was, he only cared about the +12 enhancement.

The old man, codenamed Golden Bell, did not hesitate and directly showed the equipment to Chu Danqing.

[Bloodless Sword +12]

[Type: Equipment·Long Sword]

[Quality: Ordinary]

Durability: 600/600 (increased by 500 points)

[Attack Power: 105~210 (Increases by 100~200 points)]

【Sharp as a Cutter (Passive): Sharpness +125 (+120)】

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 5 points, Constitution 5 points]

Even if this longsword is of ordinary quality and not upgraded to +12, it would still be a top-tier weapon in the preparatory level.

However, at Chu Danqing's level, the equipment itself is worthless; what's truly valuable is the enhancement level.

"You called me here because we couldn't agree on the price, so you want to raise it a bit more?" Chu Danqing knew exactly what the other party's purpose was.

If the deal goes through, the broker will notify him to pick up the goods.

Therefore, Chu Danqing took the initiative and won the argument.

Whether or not we can win it depends on how much the other party wants.

If it's a good fit, Chu Danqing will definitely take it.

There was nothing that could be done if it wasn't a good fit, as Chu Danqing was also destitute.

“That’s right,” Jin Zhong said. “I need you to protect me as I complete my rank advancement assessment. With your strength, that shouldn’t be a problem.”

Upon hearing the other party's request, Chu Danqing refused without hesitation: "I can't do it."

As he spoke, Chu Danqing took out the Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon Robe, the Dragon Pendant, and the Phoenix Pendant and gave them to the broker, saying, "The price difference is this much. If it's acceptable, we can trade; if not, we won't exchange them."

Do you really think he's a fool?

It's important to know that he didn't get something for nothing; he also used the Butcher Shop in Azkhiri, a regular skill with an unknown potential.

After taking the items, they wanted him to act as their bodyguard and nanny.

Moreover, the other party is most likely to have ill intentions.

Either he's plotting murder and robbery, or the item has a shady origin and he's being targeted.

As for the rank advancement assessment task? Although the other party is not a top apostle, being able to obtain equipment enhanced to +12 means they are definitely not an ordinary person.

"These two pieces of equipment are quite valuable, especially this jade pendant set," the broker explained. "A set of equipment that combines charm and luck is very rare on the market."

"The Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon Robe offers low-cost, low-cooldown spatial displacement and shield enhancement."

"Although there is no percentage bonus, the fixed bonus is extremely high, making it very suitable."

"Add two superior-grade equipment quality enhancement items to upgrade the jade pendant to superior grade. It's not difficult to exchange these three superior-grade equipment for a satisfactory brilliant-grade equipment."

"True Spirit equipment is fine."

The broker's meaning was clear: he was willing to accept the possibility of cash flow.

If it doesn't work, just move on to the next one.

He was hired by Chu Danqing, and Chu Danqing paid him a commission. Now Chu Danqing has rejected the other party's request and stated his own requirements.

Then he will definitely prioritize Chu Danqing's ideas.

As for the other party's unwillingness, he continued to keep an eye out for news in this area for Chu Danqing.

Jin Zhong squinted, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

A piece of equipment of the Brilliant quality that suited his taste was indeed very tempting to him.

Even if the Bloodless Sword is enhanced to +12, it is still only of ordinary quality.

Not to mention that this isn't even a growth-level item; it's basically the limit.

“Protect me three times, and I’ll…” Kim Jong-il gritted his teeth and gave up this extremely attractive offer.

Without saying a word, Chu Danqing took back the Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon Robe and the Dragon and Phoenix Playing Pendant, and got up to leave.

"Wait, let's talk it over, let's talk it over!" Jin Zhong quickly stood up and said upon seeing this.

"There's nothing to discuss. The butcher shop in Azkus and these three pieces of equipment—you can agree if you want, or forget it if you don't," Chu Danqing said, stopping in his tracks.

Chu Danqing didn't know how much the butcher shop in Azkus was worth, but thanks to its excellent quality and extremely low learning conditions...

There are definitely hidden dangers, but as long as you don't go to that trial world, there shouldn't be too many problems.

He simply couldn't determine the value, not that he didn't know how valuable the skill book was.

Putting everything else aside, once the other party finishes learning, as long as they don't choose the SS-level difficulty rank advancement assessment, they might even pass at the S-level.

Not to mention those below S-class, the possibility of danger is very small.

Even if he can't learn it, he can still obtain a large amount of resources by having a middleman sell it after he gets his hands on it.

Not to mention that Chu Danqing also took out three more pieces of equipment.

Chu Danqing had his reasons for being willing to take more.

Once we reach Tier 3, the price of +12 enhancement pads will definitely go up again. What if we can't afford to buy them from the butcher shop in Azkus then?

It's good that these three pieces of equipment are no longer needed; it would be great if they could be put to good use again.

Of course, if the other party is unwilling, then there is nothing Chu Danqing can do.

He can make concessions, but he cannot compromise his core interests.

The rank promotion assessment is the core interest.

Regardless of whether the other party had other intentions, Chu Danqing said that he would go to the 3rd tier area after the assessment was completed.

And then he's a Tier 3 player leading a Tier 2 player? Even if he were willing, the amusement park wouldn't allow it.

This thing is called an assessment, so it's not going to be easy for you.

With Chu Danqing's entry, the difficulty level will skyrocket.

As for taking the assessment together with Chu Danqing...

That just shows how reckless the other person is.

He is at the SS level of difficulty, and then he needs to undergo a rank assessment to advance and enhance his authority, which increases the difficulty.

If the opponent has the skill level of a top ten player in the arena, then there's no problem. But if the opponent has that skill level, then there's no need for them to ask for help.

I have no problem passing the SS-level difficulty rank promotion test.

Let alone the top ten, even the top one hundred is within my reach.

“I’ll trade, but could you give me some more amusement park points? 100,000, I only need that,” Jin Zhong continued.

But before he could finish speaking, Chu Danqing interrupted him: "No, that's all."

He said this very seriously, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

The main reason was that Chu Danqing realized that the Golden Bell was just trying to make a quick buck.

If you back down, the other party will take advantage of you.

On the contrary, if you take a hard line, the other party will not dare to say anything.

It is now certain that Kim Jong is most likely after the butcher shop in Azkus.

The main problem is that the learning conditions are indeed very poor.

You must have a rationality attribute of over 200 points, and you must have completely dissected a human.

The most difficult part is getting the advanced attribute of rationality to 200 points.

However, once the special skills are unlocked, and with the combination of talents and skills, it is not difficult.

Especially if the job you switch to is related to this, you can not only gather all the necessary materials, but also have some to spare.

“Fifty thousand, or thirty thousand if that doesn’t work,” Jin Zhong continued.

Chu Danqing sighed, "Ten thousand? If that works, let's make a deal. These are all the Paradise Points I have."

He still had 80,000 points, but in reality he only had 79,950.

Actually, if they negotiate a little further, they could probably keep pushing the price down, and might even cut off the amusement park's points altogether.
But Chu Danqing didn't want to continue gambling; who knew if the other party would lose their temper?

You can't keep pressing down, otherwise he'll suffer losses when the price rebounds.

Ten thousand amusement park points is a reasonable expense.

"If you raise the amusement park points by one more, you can sell it to someone else," Chu Danqing said before the other party could speak.

After Chu Danqing said that, Jin Zhong had no choice but to swallow his words about wanting 15,000.

"Let's switch," Kim Jong agreed.

“No rush, let’s notarize it first, and then we’ll make the transaction.” Chu Danqing looked at the broker: “Could you please draft the notarization details for me?”

“No problem,” the broker immediately agreed.

He knew what Chu Danqing was thinking; he was simply worried that the equipment might be defective or unclean.

Therefore, notarization is required for the guarantee and registration at the amusement park.

Even if there are any disputes later, they will have nothing to do with Chu Danqing.

If there's a real problem, don't blame Chu Danqing for being ruthless if she keeps pestering you.
