Chapter 17 - #39Chapter 17: The Figure of an Old Friend

Finally, Mu Yang turned his gaze to the blue treasure chest, which was dropped by Puppet Life, so its value was naturally the highest.

Taking a deep breath, he first praised the beauty of the Goddess of Luck in his heart a few times before opening the treasure chest.

At this instant, the room was immediately filled with blue light; it was a flash!

"You opened a treasure chest (blue) and obtained the following items:"

"Obtained 'Emotion Incitation Lv.1' (Blue · Rare)"

"Obtained soul crystal (small)"

"Emotion Incitation"

"Origin: Fairytale Kingdom"

"Quality: Blue · Rare"

"Category: Active Skill Scroll (Mental Type)"

"Prerequisites for Learning: Intelligence 15 or above, Charm 8 or above."

"Effect: Continuously consumes mana to subtly influence the emotions of creatures within a certain range. Targets can be selected."

"When emotions are incited to a certain degree, some positive buffs and negative debuffs will be gained."

"Rating: 70"

"Description: Joy, anger, sorrow, fear. Which do you want to experience first? Or all of them... User, remember not to get lost in the deep sea of manipulating others' emotions."

"Price: 20000 paradise coins"

"It's another mental skill, subtly influencing people's emotions? Seems pretty good."

The moment Mu Yang saw this skill, he thought of some good maneuvers.

This skill is area-based and allows for free target selection, meaning it can be used not only on enemies but also on allies.

For example, when allies are insulted, using the skill to influence the emotions of other members of the adventure group, fostering a shared hatred for the enemy, can increase team cohesion.

Looking at it this way, this skill seems to have a good market.

Selling three mental-related items as a bundle for 80,000 paradise coins wouldn't be too much, right?

He organized the items he planned to sell, which included:

"Emotion Incitation (Blue · Rare)", "Screaming (Green)", and "Negative Emotion Shard (Green)", forming a mental-type three-piece set.

"Forest Witch's Notebook (Green · Rare)" and "Ring of the Forest (Green)", forming a wood-magic two-piece set.

"Demon's Claw" and "Demon's Horn", two pieces of scrap material.

And the most precious of all—the professional inheritance, "Blood Soul Orb."

There were quite a few things, and selling them for 300,000 paradise coins should be no problem. Besides that, he definitely had to keep the 4 soul crystal (small) for himself.

However, precisely because of their high value, selling them all at a stall would take a long time, so Mu Yang had other plans.

After putting away all the items, Mu Yang pushed open the door of his exclusive room and stepped out into Reincarnation Paradise.

As soon as he opened the door, there was a cacophony of shouts and arguments.

"Latest intel, various derivative world guides! Also, all kinds of Mickey Mouse tools that might be used in derivative worlds, come and buy!"

"Wait, how many paradise coins did you say this unranked eyebrow pencil is?"

"It's a Hua Dongzi brand! Even if it's unranked elsewhere, it's at least 100 paradise coins each. I'm selling it for only 79, which is already cheap enough!"

"If you can't afford it, then you should reflect on whether you've diligently explored the derivative worlds and worked hard to kill monsters and open treasure chests."

Mu Yang usually didn't stop at the stalls on either side of the street, but this time was different; there was clearly some drama to watch.

Including him, over a dozen Contractors stopped to see how that Employee would defend Hua Dongzi.

But that Employee's psychological fortitude was really not good. Seeing more and more Contractors gather, he directly packed up his stall and ran away.

Seeing the good show end just as it began, many Contractors cursed and grumbled, saying that if they saw that Employee in a derivative world, he wouldn't have a good time!

Mu Yang was also a bit helpless. He had finally stopped his busy steps to rest for a bit, but he didn't expect that Employee to just slide and run away.

Continuing towards the central area of the Paradise, he passed by the trading market, where he seemed to catch a glimpse of an old acquaintance.

Arriving at a stall named "Boutique Stall," many people had already gathered there. The allure of three blue-quality items was still very strong.

"Big brother, are you selling this bottle of [First Generation Rc Cell Original Solution] for ten thousand paradise coins?"

A New Contractor standing in front of Mu Yang asked weakly.

"Pfft."

A burst of laughter came from the surroundings, and the New Contractor retreated awkwardly.

"Ten thousand is too little, starting from fifty thousand."

Unlike the sarcasm of others, the stall owner, who owned the items, did not mock the New Contractor's overestimation of himself. On the contrary, his tone was relatively friendly.

As soon as the New Contractor heard this, he immediately decided that this stall owner was definitely a good person, even though the other party's charm attribute was very low and his demeanor was very cold...

Attracted by the three blue items, more and more people gathered in front of the stall, and some Contractors were even calling friends to join the fun.

"So many Kagune bags, did this guy clear the Ghoul world or something?"

"Who knows, but that bottle of [First Generation Rc Cell Original Solution] is truly excellent. Not only does it have no side effects, but even if it fails, it can still increase some attributes."

Many Contractors discussed animatedly, but there were very few price inquiries. The threshold of fifty thousand paradise coins was still too high, beyond the affordability of most first-tier Contractors.

Mu Yang weaved through the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the stall, and he found his target.

"Coin of Fate"

"Origin: Can be produced by Children of the World"

"Quality: Blue"

"Type: Consumable."

"Usage Effect: After use, a random judgment will be made, granting one of thirty effects such as 'Misfortune', 'Good Fortune', 'Death Omen', 'Life Revival', etc."

"Hint: The chance of granting a beneficial effect is 50%, and the chance of a detrimental effect is 49%."

"Hint: The granted effect lasts for 30 minutes."

"Rating: 32 (Note: Blue items are rated from 30 to 70. The higher the rating, the more valuable the item.)"

"Description: Fate is unpredictable. Good luck or bad luck? Or perhaps..."

"Price: 3000 paradise coins."

"Hey, friend, a kind reminder, this thing is dropped by a pseudo-protagonist. If you draw a buff, it's very strong, but if you draw a debuff, you'll be in trouble, and that 1% chance can result in anything."

A kind Contractor spoke up to remind him.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I consider my luck to be pretty good."

Mu Yang paid 3000 paradise coins and put the "Coin of Fate" into his pocket.

Just as Su Xiao finished packaging all the Kagune bags and selling them to a dark-faced big man, he noticed that the "Coin of Fate" had been sold.

He turned his gaze to the buyer and found that the other party was emitting a strangely warm glow, like a flame.

For some reason, Su Xiao suddenly felt an urge to befriend the other party. As soon as this feeling appeared, his heart tightened.

He was certain that the other party's charm attribute was definitely very high, making him even have the illusion that a man might not be out of the question.

"It's the side effect of high charm attribute, I forgot to rein it in."

Mu Yang saw Su Xiao's vigilant expression and knew that he was too charming.
