Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 77 Alice (Thanks to the owner of Flowing Clouds for the donation)

"The first item up for auction: five ship spirits!"

Alice opened the first small treasure chest, inside which was a small white orb of light, and inside the orb were five adorable little figures.

The five little people all had pig noses and ears, were chubby, had big bellies, blew snot bubbles, and had one, two, three, four, and five curls on their heads respectively.

They are completely incomparable to the delicate and adorable little girl like Lu Daxuan.

Their quality is incomparable; they are merely one-star ship spirits.

Lu Chaoding could see their attribute information. They were sailor-class ship spirits, capable only of simple ship operations and had no other abilities.

Compared to them, Lu Daxuan, who can build, repair, and improve ships, is a senior engineer and will have the ability to become a captain in the future, making him much stronger.

Alice showed off the five little ship spirits, then said, "The starting price is 500 gold coins. Who's bidding?"

Jinx, disguised as a vampire, raised her hand and said, "I'll offer 600 gold coins!"

"Any more bids?" Alice asked.

A vampire stood up and said, "I'll offer 700 gold coins!"

Jinx said, "800!"

Another vampire stepped forward and shouted, "900!"

Jinx, with a confident expression, said, "1000! The actors don't need to go on stage!"

This time, as expected, no other vampires made any bids. Alice said, "No more bids? If not, then these five ship spirits will..."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Chao interrupted, looking at Alice, taking out five gold coins, placing them on the table, and saying, "I'll offer five!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

Alice's expression froze as if she had crashed.

Jinx and her three companions reacted quickly.

"Five dollars? This is an auction! This reliable swordsman doesn't understand the rules!"

"I've already bid up to 1000 yuan!"

"Hey, keep your voice down! Aren't you afraid he'll chop you up?"

They began to whisper among themselves.

To their surprise, after remaining frozen like a wooden statue for a minute, Alice actually gave Lu Chao a gentle smile and said, "Deal, these five ship spirits are yours!"

After saying this, Alice delivered the small treasure chest to Lu Chao's head and took the five gold coins he had laid out.

Jinx and the other three stared wide-eyed at the scene, completely stunned.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"Protest! How can this deal be made?"

"Has Alice gone mad? Isn't she the Vampire Duke? She used to be so ruthless!"

"It's likely that Alice succumbed to the tyranny of the Reliable Swordsman, after all, the Reliable Swordsman is a powerful evil god capable of killing a ghost warship..."

They felt very unbalanced, and Lu Chaoding also found it strange.

"It actually works? So... the unreliable system interfered with Alice? Making this vampire gathering a pleasant operation for me no matter what?"

As he was pondering this, Vampire Duke Alice had already opened the second small treasure chest.

"The second item is a special item: the blueprint for the Devil Shark Cannon. The Devil Shark Cannon is a shipborne weapon, but the Cannon King can also use it as a personal weapon. This blueprint can be used by the Captain, the Cannon King, and the Advanced Ship Spirit. The starting price is three thousand gold coins."

As soon as Alice finished speaking, before Jinx and the others on the other side could reply, Lu Chaoding blurted out, "One dollar, I'll take it!"

"Sold... Deal!"

Alice's expression changed from blank to joy, and she immediately handed the blueprints for the Devil Shark Cannon to Lu Chaoding.

"Great! Very reliable!"

Lu Chao happily accepted the blueprint. Although he couldn't use it, he figured the five-star ship spirit Lu Daxuan could.

"Once the shipborne weapons are manufactured, they should be able to be equipped on the Great Xuan Ship, right?"

Lu Chaoding pondered silently, then, seeing that Alice was about to continue auctioning the third treasure chest, he said, "The third treasure doesn't need to be auctioned off; it's mine too!"

After saying that, he generously tossed out another gold coin.

"Oh, you're such a generous vampire, deal..."

Alice's expression showed a slightly sinister glint as she spoke, placing the third small treasure chest near Lu Chao.

Knowing that the unreliable system was at work, Lu Chao was fearless and said, "I'm not a vampire, I'm a sword immortal!"

"You're quite the joker," Alice laughed. "You're a real vampire, I'm not mistaken. Alright, the items I took from the ancestral treasury have been auctioned off, now let's share the information."

A vampire immediately stood up and exclaimed, "The ghost warship on the Second Highlands has been destroyed!"

Another vampire jumped up, saying, "It seems the ones who took down the ghost warship weren't combatants from Nut Fortress!"

Then, vampires began to speak.

"I heard the whispers of the evil god tank; it's pleading with me for help!"

"I heard that A-level combatant Bruno from Nut Fortress is going to visit Afung Castle tomorrow!"

"Hey guys, I got an ancient potion that can turn my hair green!"

"Shadow Keep is a secret camp!"

"I've heard there's a mad scientist wandering around in the northwest corner of the Second Highland!"

"His Excellency the Duke is a vampire captain!"

"Your Excellency the Duke is the King of the Night!"

"Did you know that I buried 500 yuan under the abandoned iron tower east of the second hill?"

"I once killed a cannon king. His blood was delicious. I left his equipment in the northeast corner of the third high ground. You can find it at eight o'clock at night."

The vampires chattered away, some of their words were nonsense, while others were clearly clues to their treasure hunt; there was still a fair amount of valuable information.

Jinx and the others listened attentively.

In fact, their previous success was due to attending vampire parties at midnight.

This is a daily activity; you can participate once you obtain the required items.

For them, the activity was completely safe; they had interacted with the vampire duke Alice many times without any accidents.

Lu Chaoding was currently studying the third small treasure chest.

There is a two-star accessory here called the "Vampire's Fang Amulet," which grants a 10% increase to lifesteal attack, but it is restricted to the Gunner class.

"Another piece of equipment that's unusable!"

Lu Chaoding shook his head. He put away the [Vampire Fang Amulet]. When he looked up, he saw that the Vampire Duke Alice was staring at him. Lu Chaoding keenly sensed that the NPC's gaze was somewhat strange, as if it had become sentient.

"Could it be... that this vampire duke is also about to awaken?"

Lu Chaoding and Alice exchanged glances. Lu Chaoding asked, "What are you looking at?"

Alice asked, "Who are you...?"

Lu Chao retorted, "Can't you see the huge title above my head? I am the reliable sword immortal Lu Chaoding! I am not a vampire!"

"title?"

Alice's expression immediately turned distorted; her brows furrowed and relaxed repeatedly. Suddenly, she retorted to Lu Chao, "Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

"The highest-ranking executive officer of Nut Base, and also the strongest enforcer, the Weeping Angel, she's my sister!"

"and then?"

"My intuition tells me that killing her will grant me freedom, so... reliable swordsman, would you be willing to help me?"

"Hmm?" Lu Chao's mind stirred. He realized that the vampire duchess in front of him must be a very important character in the plot, and even if she hadn't awakened yet, she was probably close to it.

After a moment's thought, Lu Chao retorted, "Do you have money?"

"Money? What do you mean?"

"Give me a million, and I'll take down the Weeping Angel for you!"

"One million!" Alice shook her head. "I don't have that much!"

How much do you have?

Alice said, "One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred thousand is fine too!" Lu Chao retorted. "If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding. Give me one hundred thousand, and I'll kill the Weeping Angel for you!"
