Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 431 - 46: The Legend of the Demon Star Tower

Xiao Jie glanced over the loot this time, which included five items dropped by Li Jinlin: three top-grade items, among which there surprisingly was a magic artifact, bringing joy to Xiao Jie’s heart.

Not bad, the loot from this battle was well worth the tough fight.

It’s just a pity there was no epic equipment dropped, which was somewhat regrettable.

It seemed that epic equipment wasn’t so easy to come by.

Looking at the loot list that popped up, Xiao Jie nodded in satisfaction.

The others also immediately saw the item information in the team channel.

An Ran said, "Not bad, Sui Feng, you even got a magic artifact, pretty lucky, huh."

"Hahaha, not too bad."

Only I Want to Be Immortal was a bit puzzled. Was that really lucky? Not even a piece of purple equipment had dropped.

But Xiao Jie was already fairly satisfied, and although there was no purple equipment, managing to get three top-grade items in one go was pretty good.

He guessed it was probably because the BOSS had evolved this time; otherwise, if it had been only level 22, it probably wouldn’t have dropped so many good items.

It looked like there were some benefits to letting the BOSS transform before defeating it.

Since there was no need to sell any gold or jewels for money, they simply started an auction right there.

The first item was naturally the BOSS’s head, although it was a bit different from the last one.

[Monster Jiao’s head (Task Item).

Use: Submit to the Canglin State Mansion to collect a bounty of 300 taels, 1000 Canglin State reputation points, and the title of ’Demon Suppressing Brave Warrior.’

Item Introduction: The head of a monster Jiao that seems to have once been a carp demon called Li Jinlin, but due to some unknown reason, this demon underwent a peculiar evolution and became a higher-class Jiao demon. Master Xiao Yue might be interested in this item.]

It turned out not to be Li Jinlin’s head but the Monster Jiao’s head; it seemed this item should satisfy Master Xiao Yue’s requirements.

Hao Mie, as usual, was in charge of the auction, "Monster Jiao’s head? Starting bid 300 taels, let’s hear the offers."

"350," Xiao Jie immediately added 50 taels.

"360."

"370!"

"380!"

As expected, no one placed any more bids here.

"380 once, 380 twice, 380 three times—sold, Hidden Moon Following Wind come over to make the trade."

Just like usual, he successfully acquired it with an excess payment of 80 taels.

That was the right price for this item, any more would be pointless.

Looking at the barely over 20 taels of silver remaining in his bag, Xiao Jie thought that getting the next head wasn’t going to be easy.

Though submitting it later would yield a reward of 300 taels, the next target head, belonging to Ying Baiyu, had a bounty of 400 taels. By then, the final price might well be 480 taels, meaning he would need to scrape together another 150 taels. Luckily, he was the MVP this time around, so he should receive a larger share of the money.

"Second item: Overturning River and Sea Leg Armor, starting bid 50 taels, let’s hear the offers."

Xiao Jie found this item somewhat familiar; a piece of arm armor had dropped when they were fighting the Catfish Spirit.

[Overturning River and Sea Leg Armor (Leg Guard/Top-Grade)

Leg defense +22.

Equipment Effect: Water Control +1. Increases the power of all water-based skills by 10 points.

Item Introduction: A magical guard forged by the merfolk—part of the Overturning River and Sea Set that slightly enhances the ability to control water currents, often used by water spirits.]

There were not many bidders for this item, mainly because water magic was rather unpopular and neither of the Magic Masters present practiced this type of magic.

The set effect was good—two pieces increased swimming speed by 20%, and four pieces allowed the activation of Water Shield Skill with a 30-minute cooldown, but it was still quite hard to collect a complete set.

Eventually, it was bought by I Want to Be Immortal for 50 taels, who had a protective bracelet that could complete a two-piece set effect.

"Third item: Golden Scale Arm Guard, starting bid 50 taels, let’s hear the offers."

[Golden Scale Arm Guard (Arm Armor/Top-Grade)

Body defense +8.

Equipment Effect: Reverse Scale Defense. When you receive a long-range magic attack (only direct damage spells), you can neutralize it at the moment of impact, absorbing up to 300 points of damage. Cooldown time 30 minutes.

Item Introduction: A gorgeous glove made with golden fish scales, said to be a feature of dragons, boasting strong magic resistance, capable of effectively defending against magic attacks. Despite transforming into a monster Jiao, Li Jinlin still retains memories from his time as a carp demon—Li Jinlin once encountered a fortune teller who granted him an omen: ’A golden scale is not common in the pond, once it enters the worldly society it transforms into a Jiao dragon.’

The prophecy was eventually fulfilled, however, not quite as he had anticipated.]

This was indeed a valuable item. Although it could only defend against one attack and seemed to require extremely high precision, only effective at the moment of attack, such a level of operation was not a problem for experts.

After all, it was an equipment that could counter magic, which was quite valuable.

Physical Professions usually had a disadvantage against Magic professions, and having this item could somewhat offset that weakness.

The key was that there were no professional restrictions. Although it was scale armor, because it was a small piece, the weight wasn’t too absurd, and anybody could use it.

As a result, it immediately sparked a bidding war.

"60 taels!"

"70 taels!"

"80 taels!"

"100 taels!"

The price climbed step by step.

Eventually, it rose to 180 taels and was finally bought by Hao Mie.

Everyone had money, but after all, it was only top-grade equipment, and the equipment effect was specifically for magic attacks, not offering many opportunities for use.

taels was already the limit.

"Fourth item: Twisted Jiao Spirit Talisman, starting bid 100 taels, let’s hear the offers," Hao Mie said, looking quite expectant at everyone.

Xiao Jie was also very expectant, for he had a 50% extra share; the more it sold for, the more he would earn.
