Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

I glanced at the cover briefly; the black leather was completely devoid of any patterns or descriptions.

Luo Xuan didn't mind and started flipping through the pages on his own.

Flipping through the catalog, all the items were for exchanging props for other props; there wasn't a single item that could be exchanged for cash.

After all, as long as the latter's asking price isn't too outrageous, there are plenty of wealthy people willing to buy them, and some groups and organizations even use cash to buy any game items for a long time.

Luo Xuan skipped the first part about troop cards. At this stage, the drop rate of his troop cards is pretty good, which is basically enough to meet his needs for troop evolution.

Furthermore, after Azathoth evolved to Legendary quality, the limited Leadership stats no longer supported Luo Xuan in further evolving Azathoth.

After skipping the unit cards, there are some unit building blueprints, all of which are building blueprints for the four basic races.

Moreover, not only are they expensive, but they also lack any highlights; they are all the most common and basic low-tier units.

Next was the equipment section, which Luo Xuan was looking forward to. He hoped to find some items that could increase leadership value, just like the [Commander's Badge].

Because of the forum post titled "Try not to upgrade your territory!!!", items like Cold Moon Fruit and Blood Moon Fruit, which can permanently increase leadership value, are now highly sought after in the market.

In contrast, some equipment that temporarily increases leadership value has been met with a lukewarm reception from the market.

However, Luo Xuan didn't care, as long as he could increase his leadership value so that he would have room to evolve his troops.

After some inspection, Luo Xuan actually found a few decent pieces of equipment.

[New Recruit Ribbon]: Increases leadership by 1 point. Requires 5 Tier 1 troop cards to trade.

[Camp Horn]: Increases leadership by 3 points. Trade requires 1 Tier 1 Rare Troop Card.

[Legion Token]: Increases leadership by 10 points. Requires 2 troop building blueprints to trade.

These are the three pieces of equipment that Luo Xuan selected, and the sellers' prices weren't too outrageous.

In particular, the Legion Token can directly increase leadership value by 10 points, which made Luo Xuan almost drool when he saw it.

Of the three pieces of equipment that Luo Xuan has his eye on, only the [Recruit's Sash] meets his requirements.

Luo Xuan currently has 3 Forest Spider cards and 2 Skeleton Soldier cards in his hand.

A direct transaction isn't out of the question, but Luo Xuan felt the other party's asking price was too high.

Moreover, since the other party is trading unit cards, they obviously have a great and urgent need for immediate combat power.

Therefore, Luo Xuan believes there is room for negotiation.

"How long has this [New Recruit Sash] been on consignment?" Luo Xuan asked the bartender.

Seeing that Luo Xuan intended to make a purchase, the bartender became extremely attentive. He checked the information registered during the consignment sale and then quickly replied:

"This recruit sash has been on consignment here for over a month."

After saying that, the bartender seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, I remember it used to be sold for 10 unit cards, but it was reduced to 5 cards half a month ago."

The bartender said, "Because it wasn't long ago, I remember it quite clearly."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan nodded, feeling even more confident in negotiating the price.

"Could you please contact this seller for me and ask if three cards would be acceptable?"

Luo Xuan spoke.

Upon hearing this, the bartender quickly went to take care of it.

"They don't agree; they need at least four." The bartender returned to relay the message.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan smiled slightly. Since the other party had actually accepted the concession, the matter was probably pretty much settled.

Luo Xuan had spent several years navigating the social world in his previous life, so he knew a thing or two about the ins and outs of trading and bargaining.

People who insist on a fixed price and refuse to budge are mostly stubborn or opinionated, and are difficult to sway or negotiate with. Don't waste your time dealing with such people.

As long as the other party is willing to make concessions, whether big or small, it means they are willing to make a deal. The rest is just a matter of negotiation and bargaining over the price.

"Go tell him that his sash bonus isn't high and it's not permanent, so I can only offer a maximum of three cards."

"If you agree, I can give him three cards immediately and compensate him with 1 yuan in cash."

"If that doesn't work, then forget it, I'll look for something else."

Luo Xuan spoke calmly to the bartender, without the slightest hint of impatience.

The bartender nodded and left again.

Soon, the bartender brought back good news: the other party had agreed.

Luo Xuan handed over one Skeleton Soldier card and two Forest Spider cards to the bartender, along with 10,000 in cash and a brokerage fee.

. . . . . .

Luo Xuan left the gathering area satisfied. He had gained a lot this time, increasing his leadership value by a total of 4 points.

As for the remaining two items, Luo Xuan didn't even have the leverage to negotiate, so he didn't waste any time.

The last part of the consignment catalog consists entirely of rare and precious items such as Cold Moon Fruit, Blood Moon Fruit, Radiant Sun Fruit, and Moonlight Coral, all priced far beyond Luo Xuan's current means.

Therefore, Luo Xuan only took a quick look to get a general understanding of the prices. He was already very lucky to have managed to snag a mutated Cold Moon Fruit at a bargain price.

On his way back, Luo Xuan had lunch and went straight into the game as soon as he got home.

The seller of the [Camp Horn] wanted a rare card. Although the price was a bit high, it wasn't too much, and Luo Xuan could accept it.

Actually, the main problem is that we can't negotiate the price.

Of the 5 common cards, Luo Xuan was able to cut down 3 of them.

How do you reduce a rare card to 0.8? That's definitely not realistic.

If you were to exchange it for multiple elite cards, not to mention whether the seller would accept it, the value of different elite cards and rare cards would be completely inconsistent.

Therefore, instead of getting bogged down in haggling, Luo Xuan should figure out a way to take down the demonized spiders again, get another troop card, and everything will be solved.

As for the Legion Token, which can increase leadership by 10 points, Luo Xuan was envious, but there was really no good way to obtain it.

We can only let things take their course and see if there are any opportunities later.

After sorting out his goals, Luo Xuan entered the game and went to the eastern forest to meet up with Azathoth and the others.

After leveling up for a while, Lilith has reached level 2.

According to Azathoth's report, there are still only four enchanted spiders near the lumber resource point in the forest, and no new ones have spawned.

After listening, Luo Xuan roughly judged that these demonic spiders were probably story monsters similar to those in other games. Once killed, they would not regenerate, and their mission was probably to guard the wood resource point.

Luo Xuan was confident, but now he was worried that there were too few demonized spiders and that he wouldn't be able to get any troop cards.

Aside from the demonized spider Luo Xuan, no other rare monsters have been found near the territory.

Without further ado, Luo Xuan directly commanded Azathoth and Lilith to attack the remaining four demonized spiders.
