Everyone's a Hunter? I'm a Hunter x Hunter!

Not long after parting ways with Ma Qilin, Lü Xiu regretted it.

I regret not asking him if there were any familiar shops nearby.

There were so many shops at the Golden Gathering that Lü Xiu was dazzled. As a consumer, he naturally hoped to buy things that were both good and cheap.

However, the Mirror of Spiritual Flow can be used to contact Ma Qilin.

But thinking about Ma Qilin's infatuated look when he went to see Jiao Jiao, Lü Xiu decided not to bother him.

I'll have to browse through each stall myself.

It seems like this was the case when I played games in my past life. When I arrived in a larger city, I would always browse the stalls in the city to find out the prices in that city.

However, rather than spending time browsing stalls, Lü Xiu prefers to use that time to practice his skills.

Therefore, as long as the price is about the same, Lü Xiu is not prepared to waste time buying things.

Upon seeing a booth sign for the "Floating Clouds Chamber of Commerce," Lü Xiu suddenly stopped.

I remember in my previous life's "Hunting World," the Floating Cloud Merchant Guild was the largest NPC merchant guild in Cloudwalker State. Whether it was buying or selling, the prices were in the middle range in Cloudwalker State, making it a relatively practical merchant guild.

Have a look.

"I want to sell materials for magical beasts," Lu Xiu said to the saleswoman at his stall.

"What grade of the magical beast materials you wish to sell are you asking?"

"They have both fine and precious items."

"Please come in~~" The saleswoman gestured for Lü Xiu to go to the merchant guild tent behind him. Since it involved precious materials, she couldn't directly judge their value.

Lü Xiu moved to the Chamber of Commerce tent at the back.

This was a temporary trading point where the guild's appraisers conducted one-on-one transactions with the hunters. When Lü Xiu arrived, there were more than ten hunters trading, and various magical beast materials were piled up on the ground.

"Hello sir, my surname is Xiao, you can call me Lao Xiao, I am an appraiser from the Fuyun Chamber of Commerce."

"You can place the materials of the mythical beasts you wish to sell on the table." The person in charge of the transaction with Lü Xiu was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing thick-rimmed black glasses and a thick brown cloth hat, who looked rather simple and honest.

So, Lü Xiu opened his spatial backpack and laid out the materials he was prepared to use.

First, there's the rock rhinoceros's horn.

"The Rock Horn of the Rock Horn Rhinoceros, which is about to evolve into its ultimate form, has reached the Treasure level. Although its quality is only 1 point, it is indeed very rare. As a highly concentrated rock element with such a huge volume, it is a very good material for crafting elemental weapons." Old Xiao picked up and played with the Rock Horn in front of him, observing it and speaking eloquently.

Putting everything else aside, Lü Xiu had already gained some recognition of his abilities.

"Our chamber of commerce can offer 70,000 Alliance Coins," Lao Xiao stated his price.

"For ordinary Treasure-grade 1 quality materials, we usually only offer around 50,000, but your material is quite large and relatively rare, so 70,000 is almost the highest price we can offer."

Lu Xiu was satisfied with the price offered by the Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce. He had expected the price to be around 50,000, so this was 20,000 more than expected.

However, Lu Xiu did not rush to agree, but continued to take out materials for magical beasts from his spatial backpack.

Next is the entire body of the Crimson Fighting Rabbit, with its Thousand-Fighter Armguards placed separately to one side.

"The rare mythical beast Crimson Fighting Rabbit? That's quite unusual."

"A treasure-grade Thousand-Fighter Armguard. It seems this Crimson Fighting Rabbit has already met the requirements for its first evolution, but unfortunately it hasn't evolved yet."

After considering it for a long time, Lao Xiao finally gave a price.

"Considering the scarlet fighting rabbit is quite rare, we can offer 30,000 for its entire body, and as for the pair of Thousand-Fighter Arm Armor, we can offer up to 130,000."

Lu Xiu remained silent, focusing solely on shipping goods.

Then, the already cut-up golden sand scorpions were placed on the table.

"Golden Sand Scorpion? This is not common in our Yunxing Prefecture. It is mostly used as a material for magical beasts in the western Mo Prefecture." Old Xiao pushed up his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and observed carefully.

"This is not a wild golden sand scorpion; judging from its carapace, it has likely been bred by humans."

"Excellent defensive capabilities. Even before completing its first evolution, its entire carapace possesses the quality of a treasure. The person who cultivated the Golden Sand Scorpion must be a master," Old Xiao muttered to himself.

How could he not be a master? Du Shixin is a title hunter, and a title hunter of the [Nest] organization at that, making him several levels stronger than ordinary title hunters.

"We can offer 300,000 Alliance Coins for the entire Golden Sand Scorpion," Old Xiao finally offered. "It's a pity it's missing its scorpion stinger; the Golden Sand Scorpion's venomous stinger is worth at least 200,000 Alliance Coins."

After saying that, Lao Xiao looked at Lü Xiu expectantly, hoping that he would also take out the venomous scorpion tail hook of the Golden Sand Scorpion.

Unfortunately, considering that he might master whip techniques in the future, Lü Xiu felt it necessary to keep the scorpion tail hook, as it was a good material for forging whip-type weapons.

Seeing that Lü Xiu hadn't made any move, Lao Xiao was basically certain that Lü Xiu didn't have any more magical beast materials to sell, so he started to compile a summary.

"70,000 for the Rhinoceros Horn, 30,000 for the Crimson Fighting Rabbit's body, 130,000 for the Thousand-Fighter Arm Armor, and 300,000 for the Golden Sand Scorpion, totaling 530,000. This is our first time doing business, let's make friends. The total is 550,000 Alliance Coins. What do you think, sir?" Old Xiao was quite good at dealing with people and doing business.

Lu Xiu nodded slightly. The price Lao Xiao offered was higher than he had expected, so he had no reason not to sell.

"Does your chamber of commerce sell skill books?" Lu Xiu asked knowingly.

"Of course we have them. Our Floating Cloud Merchant Guild has brought a lot of skill books, covering all hunter professions. Even if we don't have them in stock, we can quickly send them from nearby cities." Seeing that Lu Xiu did not put away the materials on the table but directly inquired about other business, Lao Xiao understood.

He called out to the people around him, instructing them to gather the materials for the magical beasts in front of them.

He then turned back to ask Lü Xiu.

"What profession's skill book do you need?"

"The skill of the Beast Hunter enhances eyesight," Lu Xiu replied. He planned to buy the skill book that enhances eyesight first, and then consider purchasing other skills to strengthen himself.

Lao Xiao quickly took the roster labeled "Fantasy Beast Hunter" from a colleague.

He then turned to a different page before handing it to Lü Xiu.

Lü Xiu picked it up and examined it carefully.

The Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce did a more meticulous job, grouping skill books with the same function together, summarizing their main effects, indicating their prices, and then arranging them from low to high quality.

Monster Hunters have many skills that enhance their eyesight.

The lowest level is the standard one, which is called "Visual Enhancement." It can enhance vision by about 2-3 times and is priced at two thousand.

The highest-level pet skill is the Perfect level, named "Penetrating Vision," which enhances vision by a hundredfold and allows the user to see the elemental flow in the air and dispel illusions. It costs ten million Alliance Coins.

Lu Xiu naturally wanted a perfect-level pet skill, but it was too expensive.

Five hundred and fifty thousand is still far from ten million.

Let's lower the standard a bit. We can always upgrade to something better later when we become stronger.

However, the ordinary and excellent skill levels are too low, and given one's own strength and rate of improvement, they are too easily replaced.

For basic swordsmanship and archery skills, Lü Xiu could learn them to hone his skills. But for enhancement-type books, higher-level ones should be prioritized.

Go straight to the treasure-level skill books.

After flipping through a few pages, Lü Xiu quickly found several skills he liked.

Extreme Vision: Enhances eyesight eighty times. 200,000 Alliance Coins

Flowing Cloud Eyes: Enhances vision by fifty times, with enhanced dynamic vision. 250,000 Alliance Coins.

Eye of Truth: Enhances vision thirtyfold and can break illusions. 300,000 Alliance Coins.

Purple Lightning Eyes: Enhances vision by forty times, allowing for lightning-attribute attacks to be emitted from the eyes. 400,000 Alliance Coins.

From more than a dozen rare vision enhancement skills, Lü Xiu selected four representative skill books that were also cost-effective.

Analyze them one by one.

"Perfect Vision" boasts the highest vision multiplier among all treasure-level skills, only twenty times away from the perfect vision enhancement skill. However, it has no additional effects.

The vision enhancement effect of "Flowing Cloud Eyes" is decent, reaching fifty times, and it also comes with a dynamic vision enhancement effect.

"Dynamic vision" refers to the eye's ability to clearly capture and distinguish details when observing fast-moving objects. This ability is extremely important in sports and combat.

Vision enhancement itself improves dynamic vision, but since Liuyuntong specifically points this out, it means that its dynamic vision will be improved to another level.

The "Eye of Illusion" has the lowest enhancement of vision, only thirty times, but it possesses a powerful and rare effect in dispelling illusions.

It can be described as a low-end version of the "Insightful Gaze".

As for the final "Purple Lightning Eyes," in addition to having their vision enhanced forty times, they can also launch attacks.

It's quite frightening when lightning suddenly shoots from the eyes during close combat, often catching the opponent off guard.

The four books on vision enhancement each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and their prices also vary.

In conclusion, Lü Xiu ultimately decided to buy "Flowing Cloud Eye".

The eighty-fold increase in vision from the ultimate gaze has little significance for one's archery skills and attributes in the short term.

The Eye of Illusion is designed to counter illusions. First of all, there are not many masters of illusions, and there are many ways to deal with illusions. You can find other skills or items to counter them.

As for launching an attack using the Purple Lightning Eyes...

Yes, but it's not necessary.

In comparison, the 50x vision enhancement of the Flowing Cloud Eye is sufficient. Sacrificing 30x vision enhancement to specifically improve dynamic vision is to enhance its close combat ability when it is in Beast King Transformation.

Furthermore, dynamic vision is a skill that is difficult to enhance through other methods.

"I want this Flowing Cloud Eye skill book," Lu Xiu bought it directly.

It's only 250,000 Alliance Coins. That's still within my acceptable range.

"Okay, we'll send someone to the warehouse to get it right away." Old Xiao was all smiles. Today, he not only received some good materials, but also sold a treasure-level skill book. His commission would only increase.

"Does your business offer custom equipment services?" Lu Xiu asked. Since he was already shopping here, he might as well get all his gear at once, saving himself the trouble of looking for another store.

"Of course, our Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce has brought many skilled craftsmen to this Gold Gathering. We absolutely guarantee your satisfaction!" Old Xiao's eyes brightened; he had encountered a major client this time. He quickly called out, "Qiaoqiao, take this gentleman to have his clothes taken and tailored."

"Coming!" A girl dressed as a maid ran over from a distance.

As he got closer, Lü Xiu realized that this was a beastman, a cat-man among beastmen.

The orc is characterized by a pair of fluffy yellow cat ears on its head and a small golden bell hanging from its tail, which jingles as it walks.

Orcs are rarely seen in small places like Sunny Town on ordinary days, but they are quite common in Golden Gathering.

Just now on the street, Lü Xiu also saw tiger-men and minotaur among the orcs.

These are all masterpieces created by the Nest organization over the past millennium.

"Hello, guest, my name is Qiaoqiao!" The catgirl Qiaoqiao greeted Lü Xiu with a sweet smile. "Please follow me!"

Lü Xiu followed Qiaoqiao to another tent.

There are more staff members from the Floating Clouds Chamber of Commerce here. Some are recording customers' needs, while others are already taking measurements for customers.

"Hello, customer, what kind of equipment would you like to order? You can tell me the quality of the equipment and your budget." Qiaoqiao took out a notepad and pen from behind her back, ready to take notes.

A human girl took a measuring tape and began to measure Lü Xiu's dimensions.

Since it's custom-made, measurements like shoulder width, waist circumference, and leg length are required.

"I want to commission a set of premium leather armor."

"Top, bottom, boots, hat, and gauntlets, all at level 20, budget 300,000," Lu Xiu stated his requirements.

Use a level 20 Treasure set until level 40 to complete your first job advancement. After advancing, depending on your financial resources, you can exchange it for a level 40 Treasure set or a higher quality set.

"Meow~~" Qiaoqiao wrote furiously, making the sound unconsciously.

Realizing what she had done, her cheeks flushed, and she repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry."

"I've already written it down!"

A treasure-level leather armor set is a bit tight with a budget of 300,000, but the good thing is that it only requires level 20.

"What attributes, elements, or styles do you require?"

"No requirements for elements, just a balanced range of attributes is fine. As for the style, black or cyan is preferred." Because his plan was to develop all attributes in a balanced way, Lü Xiu did not have any special requirements for attributes.

Lu Xiu could request that it have dark and fire elements.

But that was only for the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Tiger. Without transforming into a Beast King, he wouldn't need to use dark or fire elements.

It would be better to use all the money spent on amplification elements to improve the attributes of the equipment.

Qiaoqiao continued taking notes. "Any other requests?"

"there is none left"

After taking the measurements, Qiaoqiao brought Lü Xiu back to Lao Xiao.

By this time, Lao Xiao had already obtained the "Flowing Cloud Eye" skill book that Lü Xiu wanted.

A Flowing Cloud Eye skill book worth 250,000 + a custom-made treasure-level set worth 300,000.

I just happened to have earned 550,000 from selling the materials.

It's just right; the budget of 300,000 for a custom-made treasure set was deliberately given by Lü Xiu. If Lao Xiao offered a lower acquisition price, then his own budget would naturally be reduced, and vice versa.

However, not all 300,000 were paid for.

"Custom-made equipment requires a 30% deposit, so please accept this 210,000 Alliance Coins first. Also, please leave your address and name, and we will deliver it to you as soon as it is made. You can pay the balance then." Old Xiao took out a card and handed it to Lü Xiu.

This is the Hunting League's debit card, which can be used to withdraw League coins at any Hunting League bank.

"How long will it take to finish?"

"Ten to fifteen days"

Lu Xiu nodded and wrote down the address of the [Golden Gathering] headquarters.
