Chapter 77 - 77 Terrifying Clown
77 Terrifying Clown
“One Random Summoning Skill Crystal for 9,000 copper coins. Do you want it?”
He felt that Fang Ping would not buy it, so he did not even show Fang Ping the watch with the contract materials.
“I want one Magic Shield Blessing, one Encourage, and four Random Summoning Skill Crystals. These are 21 silver coins for payment.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll get it for you now. Do you need to choose for yourself?”
Seeing that Fang Ping had really taken out a handful of silver coins, his attitude quickly changed and he immediately became proactive.
It seemed like there was a commission or a sales requirement.
“I remember that there’s a difference between high-grade and low-grade Normal Skill Crystals. Don’t they have Excellent-grade ones?”
“Yes, but the impact isn’t big, so there’s no distinction. Whether it’s high-grade or low-grade, it’s very difficult to advance to Excellent.”
“Then I won’t choose. Help me take it then.”
He took out a small cloth bag and put the Skill Crystal and the ten copper horns for change into it. He handed it to Fang Ping and took out a piece of paper at the same time.
“Hello, this is our Superior-grade contract catalog. Take a look. Do you want to buy some?
“Excellent-grade is different from Ordinary-grade. Superior-grade summoned creatures can accompany us for a long time.”
Fang Ping took it and looked at it. There was a form on the paper.
Human soldiers: 1,000 copper coins for sentry guards, 2,000 copper coins for spear knights, 2,000 copper coins for Great Swordsmen, 1,000 copper coins for high-level mercenaries.
Elf Soldiers: 15,000 copper coins for Elf Archers, 17,000 copper coins for Elf Rangers.
Orc Soldiers: Catman Scout 800 copper coins, Centaur shortstop 1,000 copper coins.
…
The Excellent-grade form was similar to the Ordinary-grade form he had seen previously. The price was also higher.
Other than the Elves, the other prices were within Fang Ping’s acceptable range. However, Fang Ping planned to consider what to contract, so he was not in a hurry to buy it.
“No thank you, that’s all I need for today.”
Carrying the small cloth bag, he walked out of the Profession Hall. He had already bought the Skill Crystals and was just waiting to advance and become a Class 2 Forbidden Spellcaster.
Now that he had 950 energy points, he would probably be able to reach Class 2 in two to three days. Just thinking about it made him excited.
When he returned to the dormitory, it was a familiar scene. Qing Niao and Cossey were cultivating.
“Qing Niao, I found Andre.”
“What! Where is he! Is he okay?” Qing Niao got up from the bed with a thump, sounding very excited.
“Yes, it’s alright. He’s at 86 Flower Garden now and can’t come out. You can visit him when you have time…”
Before Fang Ping could finish his sentence, Qing Niao jumped off the bed, grabbed the coat hanging on the chair, and ran out.
“No. 86 Flower Garden, right? I’ll go now.”
Watching Qing Niao run out, Fang Ping rarely saw him in such a hurry.
“Is something wrong with Andre?” Cossey asked from the bed.
“Something happened to him. He’s undergoing treatment.”
“It’s good that he’s not dead. As long as he’s not dead, he can still be saved.”
Fang Ping climbed into bed as well. Andre’s recovery condition was very good. There seemed to be no problem. Fang Ping believed that he would recover soon.
They then continue to accumulate energy.
The next day, he woke up naturally again. Fang Ping sat up in bed. There was no one in the dormitory.
But what should he do now?
There didn’t seem to be anything to do. Everyone else had gone to class, and no one could find them.
Right, I should buy Skill Crystals. I still haven’t bought the Healing Circle and Holy Shock. When I go to Goby Highlands, I don’t know if I can buy them. I should think of a way to buy them here.
He would go to the black market to take a look.
However, he had to get a black robe first. Cossey was not around, so Fang Ping still had to buy a set.
He went to the Giant Cannon Plaza. The Giant Cannon Plaza in the morning seemed very deserted. Not to mention that there were not many people, there were not many shops that opened.
After searching around, he finally found a shop selling black robes. He spent a copper horn and headed to the black market.
The people from the black market were like the Giant Cannon Plaza. There were very few people. Fang Ping did not know where to buy Skill Crystals, so he just walked around to take a look.
There were many vendors selling various Magical Beasts materials in the black market. They were all used to forge weapons and equipment.
For example, the Elemental Set that Fang Ping was wearing could be used to repair it after it was broken.
“The Thunder Feather of the Extreme Speed Thunder Devil Eagle is sold cheaply. There’s a chance of forging a special lightning.”
“The shell of the Spiked Demon Armor Turtle. It’s an extremely excellent breastplate material. It has its own characteristic magic shield. There’s a chance of a characteristic stone spike appearing. Take a look.”
There were not many people on the black market, but the sounds of hawking rose and fell. When Fang Ping heard their words, he immediately felt that his Elemental Set was simply too lousy.
Out of the five pieces of equipment, there was only one additional characteristic, Magic Shield 1? This was ridiculously poor.
With this thought in mind, Fang Ping asked for the price.
“How much is this turtle shell?”
“Hey, look at this quality. You can cut it with a sword without any problem.”
“How much is it?”
“Feel it. This is the shell of a Superior-grade Spiked Magic Armor Turtle. This feeling, this thickness, try it.”
“It’s quite thick. How much is it?”
“Look, this has to be made into a breastplate. The effect is super good…”
“How much is it?”
The vendor extended a finger. “I won’t sell it to you at a high price. We’re all doing business honestly. If you’re satisfied, we’ll…”
“One silver coin?”
“Look at these good attributes. They’re so practical and the size is just right…”
“Ten silver coins?”
“The price isn’t important. Think about it. A good breastplate can save your life in battle. Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave. If the price isn’t suitable, you can negotiate. I’ll give you a copper horn cheaper. Why don’t I give you two copper horns cheaper?”
Fang Ping left quickly. Indeed, you get what you pay for. The price of this turtle shell was even more expensive than his own set of armor.
Now that he thought about what Hedge had told him in the alchemy laboratory, ‘Build a poor family for three generations and smelt it for a lifetime.’
He still did not know about the smelting, but this forging was indeed burning money.
Moreover, equipment was different from skills. After learning skills, one could use them continuously. Equipment would be consumed.
Fang Ping stopped looking at the Magical Beast materials sold by the roadside and focused on finding the Skill Crystal.
“Come on, take a look. Today’s show is super exciting! The Demon Lion jumping into the fire circle, the pumpkin turning into a living person, and the flying knives. You’ve never seen them before!
Come on, take a look!”
Listening to the sound of the gong, Fang Ping walked over. It sounded like a circus performance. Many people were watching.
A black mass of black-robed people surrounded it. From afar, it looked a little terrifying.
Fang Ping had nothing to do anyway. He covered the money bag first, then squeezed in to take a look.
It was indeed a circus performance. A person knocked on the iron basin and shouted.
The one performing was a clown. She threw cards into the air, and the cards spun in the air before she caught them one by one. Her agile movements made many people around her cheer loudly.
Moreover, although this clown had makeup on, she still looked very beautiful. She was wearing a black and red dress and had a good figure.
