Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 494 The Final Reinforcement
After clearing out the belt, Li Xia finally found something to strengthen.

"Buy a belt!"

"belt?"

Awoo asked curiously:
"Shall we go find Lisa?"

"I'm not looking!"

Li Xia shook his head, saying that the garbage collector's kill order wouldn't kill anyone, but it could annoy people.

Although Lisa had a way to bypass the restrictions, it was too troublesome; the whole process was like gambling.

"There's not much stuff, it's not worth the trouble. We have another channel!"
The garbage collectors are beyond our control and have no way to manage them.

Li Xia waved his hand and brought up the control panel:

"Auction house!"

Auction houses are definitely a great platform, the only downside is that the items are priced very high and require bidding.

Most importantly, whether you exchange it for the universal currency used in the auction or purchase it, you will need to pay 'tax'.

If you calculate it, the premium for a single piece of equipment could reach a terrifying 30%-50%.

However, Li Xia has the reductions due to his status as an executioner and his merit rank, so the premium is estimated to be around 20%. If the price isn't too outrageous, it could be even lower.

Normal apostles would never be willing to use the auction house, and even Li Xia wouldn't use it normally.

Having many halls does not mean one can squander them.

"That's right!" The three little ones' eyes lit up. "How could we forget about this channel?"

Li Xia led the three little ones back to their private room, where each of the four heads displayed an auction house page.

Begin selecting suitable equipment.

"Boss, take a look at the blue ones too. Sometimes even blue-tier support equipment can be surprisingly effective."

"Awoo suggested while scrolling through the page."

"Okay, but only for the blue-level extreme. Blue equipment usually only has one or two attributes, and the effect is not very significant. It might even have a debuff."

Li Xia adjusted the filter to 'Blue Extreme - Orange' and started selecting again.

Soon, the voices of the three little ones echoed in the living room:

"Holy crap, are you crazy? A top-tier blue belt, +3 Strength and +1 Constitution, selling for 150,000???"

"Meow meow meow meow—meow meow! (This is even crazier—10% stamina boost for 80,000!)"

"Woof woof! (Big brother, second brother, I don't understand the attributes!)"

Various data flashed rapidly before Li Xia's eyes. With his current attributes, simply viewing the attributes was almost like a quick overview.

The auction house has a wide variety of equipment, and it updates very quickly.

Although the apostles don't like using the auction house, there are still quite a few people who like to camp out there hoping to snag a bargain.

"Ok?"

The rapidly refreshing attribute panel in front of him suddenly stopped. Li Xia examined it carefully and then chose to send the panel to the team channel.

[Evaluation: The wise men who tried this technique gained far more than expected; this belt embodies the wisdom of several great sages.]

"Hmm? This seems pretty good!" The three little ones' eyes lit up as they carefully examined the belt's attributes. Although the bonuses to each attribute weren't particularly high, the belt was exceptionally comprehensive.

Furthermore, given Li Xia's already high base stats, even a 10% bonus is definitely not insignificant.

"I see the price is 25?"

It smacked its lips in surprise.

"It's not expensive, boss!"

250,000 is indeed not expensive. In the third tier, orange equipment, no matter what it is, will all be expensive once it breaks through to purple.

Weapons are naturally the most expensive, but belts and jewelry are also not cheap, and every attribute on this belt provides a valid bonus.

“I also think it’s a good idea, but 250,000 is just the starting price, so there should be some bidders.”

The low price is likely related to the relatively high attribute requirements; the requirement of 35 points in all four stats is something most Apostles can't meet, requiring at least a top 4 ranking in the Hall of Fame.

Li Xia calculated that he still had a considerable amount of Hall Points.

The task gave me 400,000, and with the 200,000 I got from the transaction, I have 600,000 in hand.

There's also the buying and selling of medicines, which adds up to nearly a million.

The only thing to worry about is encountering a guild from the Light trying to steal it, but they can't bid indefinitely.

Not only do you need to submit an application, but some guild members who specialize in bidding will even give up when the price reaches a certain level.

To avoid having to write a lot of reports afterward to dispel the suspicions of higher-ups that he colluded with outsiders to raise prices and take kickbacks.

Employees who earn several thousand Hall Points a month, what kind of contributions are they making to the guild? They must be crazy.

He's not a leader, yet he gets a high salary, lives in a big mansion, and is surrounded by beautiful women and handsome men.

"here we go."

As it turns out, this equipment is like a delicious treat, easily attracting attention.

As the auction time ticked away, the first person tentatively added a few hundred points.

This initial test was like a starting gun; prices immediately and dramatically increased.

The constantly fluctuating numbers are comparable to the odometer of an unlicensed taxi.

In less than a minute, the original price jumped to 400,000.

"Meow!!"

Black Charcoal stared blankly at the price list, its eyes fixed on the 400,000 mark. It had previously been optimistic, expecting to get it for around 300,000.

"I see!!"

Awoo slammed its paw heavily on the table in front of it, startling Xiaotian so much that he jumped up.

"This kind of equipment is usually only worn by apostles who are about to or will soon be promoted to a higher rank."

Their most pressing need is to convert the Hall Points they possess into combat power.

Most importantly, they won't change their weapons, because a weapon they're used to is definitely better than one they switch to temporarily.

Therefore, equipment that can provide bonuses without disrupting the original equipment system will be in high demand!

If you lose after upgrading, even the best cost-performance ratio is useless! This is just last-minute cramming!

Li Xia laughed, ruffled Xiaotian's dog head, looked at the gradually slowing belt price, and looked up to enter a string of numbers.

"Half a million!"

The price, which had been rising slowly, has finally stopped!

PS1: There are still two or three chapters left before the dungeon. I've definitely designed this dungeon seriously; it's not like before where I just knew the plot two hours earlier than you guys!! I hope it won't disappoint you.
PS2: I'm asking if any readers are experts who can make a super simple panel simulator, one that allows for basic editing and adding points.

I've almost forgotten all the data. If you can do it, leave a message so we can discuss the price. If it's within my budget, I'll do one.
