Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 666 A Corner of an Old Dragon Bun
"Only two trial worlds and my basic skill level is already more than halfway up." Chu Danqing's gaze fell on his basic skills.

Before returning from the trial, it was 11; before entering the training room, it was 15; and now it is 22.

[Summoning Studies/Summoning Spells/Summoning Contracts/Nurturing/Harmonizing/Cultivating/Maintaining/Spirit Control/Command Expert: LV.22]

[Skill Effect: Increases all attributes/talents, skill effects/intimacy/bloodline effects/affinity/growth efficiency/potential strength/resource conversion rate/absorption rate/spirit/summoning consumption of summoned creatures, 66%×7/66/-66]

While it can't compare to the speed at which I leveled up ten levels at once, a seven-level increase is still quite remarkable.

Chu Danqing only did a rough calculation, and the sum of the three levels—basic, proficient, and expert—already amounted to 116% of the effect.

"The basic skill cap for expert level is level 40. Based on the current situation, it will be reached in a maximum of 3 more attempts."

"It seems that increasing one's aptitude, combined with the SSS training room, knowledge-based items, and Li Qingying's Wonderful Voice Eloquence, is indeed very powerful," Chu Danqing muttered.

It's normal that Chu Danqing can improve so quickly. If she couldn't improve even with so many resources poured into her, wouldn't that be bizarre?

He's not so badly qualified that he's unbearable to look at.

Now he's a genius, both in his youth and now.

Chu Danqing glanced at the progress inside Longmen Pass again; it would still take a little more time.

The subsequent banquet and Crystal Palace will probably also take some time.

"Perfect timing, time to use the Divine Ruins Sword in my hand," Chu Danqing muttered.

He has two goals, one of which is trial-type consumables.

In other words, he can lock onto a specific trial world and change the trial. His requirements are simple: trial worlds of Eastern fantasy or classical mythology that are of a higher rank than his own.

Yes, he doesn't intend to continue with the park's regular tasks.

The rewards from the previous trial world weren't low, but that was because a Fei Hong with the Ascension Pill appeared.

In addition, Chu Danqing deliberately used divine weapons to feed the Dragon-Slaying Sword, otherwise there would have been so many gains.

As for getting two Destiny Chests? The Destiny Chest for the Dragon Slayer Sword was more of a filler item.

Fei Hong was also waiting for Chu Danqing to fuse the Cloud Ascension Pill to level 5 before the reward would explode.

Chu Danqing's requirements weren't high; he just wanted a trial world that was one or two levels higher than his own.

It's not necessary to go to the trial worlds like the origin of the Great White Bloodline or Chai Jungui, where there are already 6th-level beings from the start.

These kinds of trials are really difficult. The former was only accomplished because the immortals and gods could reason with each other, and the latter was only completed by cooperating with Cunbai and complementing each other's strengths.

Otherwise, not only Chu Danqing, but Cun Bai would also be in trouble.

His promotion assessment was also blocked; Zhao Yuanlang just wouldn't take the bait and couldn't be forced to.

As for the second option, let's switch to another strategic resource that can grant random passive job skills.

According to his estimate, that's about all the value there is.

Talent and skills are an important part of how apostles build their own systems.

While professional talents are relatively difficult to acquire, professional skills are much easier to obtain.

Chu Danqing is indeed short of money, but once Da Hua returns, he can have it produce more Five Qi Lotus Seeds.

This time, the lotus seeds are of the highest quality; we'll just barter them together.

You can also exchange some amusement park points.

He first messaged the broker privately, sending a screenshot along with a thousand amusement park points.

When they arrived, the other party had been waiting for quite some time.

"So, have you found a buyer yet?" Chu Danqing asked as soon as she arrived.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, the broker immediately replied, "Yes, yes."

"However, after assessing the guest's equipment, I think the guest's asking price was too low."

"You can exchange two of your random passive class skills for strategic resources."

"If I'm not mistaken, the customer got this equipment from the Destiny Chest, right?"

In matters involving buying and selling, brokers usually discuss these things face-to-face.

"That's right, so the 'Man and Soldier as One' attribute, which allows equipment to enjoy melee and swordsmanship bonuses, is more valuable than I imagined?" Chu Danqing asked curiously.

He doesn't believe that strategic resources have become less expensive; he only says that equipment is more valuable.

“That’s right, and it’s not just that one entry, but also the Thousand Blade Furnace entry that increases sharpness.” The broker continued, “Although it has prerequisites, such a high ceiling for bonuses is extremely rare in the Glorious class.”

"But the prerequisite is too simple. As long as you have 100 weapons in your storage space and there are no quality restrictions, you can meet the requirement. It's practically nothing."

"Secondly, there's the 'Soldier's Bane Corrosion,' which ignores 20% of defense and causes 10 times the durability loss to equipment. Its value lies in these three attributes."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately understood the broker's meaning: "You mean this is an extremely precious material?"

He understood what the broker meant: to extract these three attributes and then attach them to other equipment.

Just like when Chu Danqing transferred the Rainbow Radiance from the Seven-Colored Radiance Staff, which could enhance the skill effects of summoned creatures, to the Thousand Chariots Play.

“That’s right, I’m not selling it as equipment,” the broker said. “You should know yourself, sir, that the ‘every transformation’ attribute of this equipment is just a useless attribute.”

"It will not only fail to increase value, but will actually decrease it."

"Secondly, 99% of Tier 3 Apostles already possess professional equipment."

"The professional equipment of sword-wielding apostles is basically swords. In the future, the value of most melee weapons and equipment will drop, while the value of off-hand equipment will increase."

"So even with two discounts, the price won't be low, but it definitely won't meet the customer's expectations, so we have to change the way we sell it." "However, it's thanks to the customer's three unusual equipment attributes that we were able to get a good price."

Listening to the broker's explanation, Chu Danqing realized, "Does that mean the prices of all kinds of equipment will continue to fall in the future?"

You can't just have one piece of class equipment. Most apostles' first piece of class equipment is a weapon.

The second item will be armor, and the third, fourth, and so on will be added gradually.

Compared to professional equipment that never goes out of style, the demand for equipment that is constantly being replaced and phased out will definitely decrease.

"Currently, only weapons and equipment in the Tier 3 area have been affected to some extent, but not significantly, considering the demand is still considerable." The broker only spoke what he knew.

He didn't know about the higher-level areas either, after all, he was only a Tier 3 broker.

"Alright, let me see the item." Chu Danqing didn't press further but opted for a transaction.

After he finished speaking, the broker showed Chu Danqing several consumables.

It is obviously something that can be obtained in the shortest amount of time.

Chu Danqing glanced around and immediately chose a consumable that seemed capable of recharging the Dragon Gate Pass from the Emperor Star.

"Let's go with this one," Chu Danqing said.

As for items that can randomly grant passive class skills, that's not important.

Because as long as it has an effect, it's fine, unlike trial consumables which are locked to a specific trial world.

"Alright, please wait a moment while I make a contact." The broker said, then refunded Chu Danqing another thousand Paradise Points: "Sir, the seller of this consumable item is a faction within the Paradise."

"Therefore, this time we will not charge customers any agency fees; they will be paid by Hongxiu Pavilion."

Chu Danqing was naturally happy to agree.

As for the Red Sleeve Pavilion, it is not an organization composed entirely of women.

Anyway, he had never heard of this type of force or adventure group.

The so-called Red Sleeve Pavilion means "a beautiful woman adding fragrance to one's sleeves," and its members are mostly scholars and talented women.

Those who join need sufficient cultural refinement, because their system itself is based on this.

The kind of person who can't even complete a trial mission because they're uneducated.

Therefore, some people have a demand for sword-type weapons.

Besides swords, there are also fans, pens, and other similar items.

Chu Danqing knew nothing more, and the Red Sleeve Pavilion wasn't a major power.

He was a lone wolf, and the park rarely arranged for him to participate in trials with other factions.

The two are like two lines that occasionally intersect, rather than frequently meeting.

The park certainly understands that the development of power and individuals differs, so it would never intentionally create conflict.

This is not beneficial to the development of either side.

Only when it is a trial against external forces, such as a war mission, will they mobilize their forces together.

Just then, a scholar dressed in a somewhat pretentious manner arrived.

A simple bow conveys a sense of politeness and respect, like a gentle breeze.

I introduced myself. The other person's name was Ling Yun, and he was one of the third-level regional managers of Hongxiu Pavilion.

Then the transaction phase began.

There's really no process; it's just that a middleman helps both parties complete the transaction.

Chu Danqing obtained the consumable item called "A Corner of an Old Dragon Cloth" and two strategic items with random passive class skills.

The other party exchanged a few words with the Divine Ruins Swordsman and then left in a hurry.

Regional managers are not idle people; they have a lot of things to deal with.

[A corner of an old dragon-patterned cloth]

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Brilliant]

[Effect 1: After use, the next trial will be locked to a specific trial world]

[Effect 2: After entering a specific trial world, your identity will be upgraded based on your selected identity]

[Effect 3: Upon entering a specific trial world, you may obtain a fortuitous opportunity.]

[Effect 4: After completing the trial and returning to Paradise, you will randomly receive one strategic resource that is compatible with the Apostle, based on the trial evaluation.]

[Effect 5: If the trial mission fails, the Apostle will lose 10 points of each of the five attributes upon returning to Paradise]

(Note: This opportunity is not created in Paradise, but is native to the Trial World. Please obtain it as soon as possible to avoid missing out.)
"If I'm not mistaken, this trial world must have been experienced by a member of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, who also participated in the major events within it," the broker said after glancing at the attributes.

Chu Danqing immediately understood what the broker meant, and transferred another thousand amusement park points, saying, "Then help me find out."

“No problem,” the broker said immediately. “If the intelligence standards aren’t met, I’ll give you a full refund.”

He successfully secured business for himself, but he also had to ensure quality and abide by the park's rules.
