I'm at Level 30, But I Can Slay Level-9999 Beasts in One Hit!-Chapter 399: Mixing the Fake with the Real

Ye Xuan started by coming to Liushi to collect information.

There were two main reasons for this.

First, as Senior Qin was a professional who hadn’t yet reached level 10,

the only way for him to obtain equipment would be from instances.

Equipment like the Explorer’s Bracers, which were clearly stripped from a person,

was obviously from Liushi.

Therefore, instead of risking exposure by confronting that useless Senior Qin,

he would rather come directly to the source, Liushi, to gather information.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan himself was very interested in Liushi.

After advancing his appraisal skill to All-Seeing Eye,

Ye Xuan had been looking for an opportunity to test every aspect of this skill.

And Liushi, filled with all kinds of bizarre items,

would undoubtedly be his perfect testing ground.

"Explorer’s Set?"

The blind old man muttered in surprise.

Then he turned away and busied himself with something.

Suddenly, he pulled out a helmet similar in style to the Explorer’s Bracers.

Leaning close to Ye Xuan’s ear, he whispered, "Take a look, is this it?"

Ye Xuan just glanced casually.

Then he scoffed, "Old man, do you really think I can’t recognize quality? Although the Adventurer’s Set and the Explorer’s Set look similar in style, their attributes are vastly different."

In Ye Xuan’s eyes, the attributes of the equipment the blind old man revealed were completely transparent to him.

[Adventurer’s Helmet]

[Quality: Green High-Grade]

[Constitution +5]

[Speed +5]

[Note: Can provide shade and block the wind, aside from that it’s pretty much useless. What more could you expect from equipment of this quality?]

[Armament Smith——Rick]

Upon hearing Ye Xuan speak like this, the blind old man also revealed a seasoned smile.

"Young man, you’ve got a good eye, eh? Right, Explorers are the great pioneers who devoted themselves to humanity, whereas adventurers... pft, just a bunch of parasites hibernating in the campus.

Apart from taking on some serious jobs when they are assigned them, the rest of the time they’re just loafing around in little taverns, living in a drunken stupor. Really, why doesn’t the administration deal with these disgusting and useless trash?"

Although the blind old man ranted, he knew full well that as someone who also operated in a grey area,

being too outspoken about his disdain for another group could attract unwanted attention.

So after making a few derisive comments about adventurers, he steered the conversation back.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that. Young man, you must have heard about the deeds of He Yalan, right? Otherwise, who would want to buy equipment worn by an official fugitive these days?"

Ye Xuan sensed an opportunity.

So he continued to ask, "Oh? From what you’re saying, do you really have the Explorer’s Set here? I didn’t hold out much hope..."

Ye Xuan did his best to disguise himself as an idiotic fanboy of He Yalan.

The mix of longing and surprise on his face right now,

would make any actor class career-changer feel inferior.

"Hah, my shop, Robert’s, lacks nothing. Not just the Explorer’s Set, even the Divine Fruit stolen by He Yalan, I also..."

At this point, the blind old man—Robert—didn’t dare to boast any further.

If he was overheard by the wrong people,

he would probably end up in jail the next day.

Therefore, he just laughed it off and said to Ye Xuan: "Anyway, whatever you want, I have it right here, just take your pick!"

With that, Robert displayed all sorts of equipment on his stand.

I have to say, in appearance, these items were almost indistinguishable from the original.

Where there are armament smiths, naturally, there are counterfeit smiths as well.

Robert is a merchant who earns his living by manufacturing forgeries and counterfeit goods.

However, although they are counterfeits, the craftsmanship of Old Walter has reached a level that can deceive even the most discerning eyes.

In fact, even Ye Xuan’s discerning eye, when viewing the inscriptions on these pieces of equipment,

saw names such as explorer boots, explorer capris, and so on.

This indicates that the equipment created by Robert is indeed an explorer’s set.

It’s just that it wasn’t worn by Yize Aier.

"Sigh..."

Ye Xuan slowly let out a sigh.

He had thought that upon coming here, he might find some clues about Yize Aier.

However, he ended up finding only a counterfeit goods merchant with excellent craftsmanship.

It seems that the gear Senior Qin used was also purchased from Robert.

At that moment, a damaged bracelet in the corner of Robert’s stand caught his attention. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Robert, let me take a look at that thing,"

Ye Xuan said, pointing at the bracelet.

A glint suddenly flashed in Robert’s eyes.

"Aiyo, young man, when I said you have a good eye, I wasn’t just being polite. This bracelet has been sitting on my stall for almost a year, and it could be said to be one of my most valuable goods!"

As he spoke, he handed the bracelet to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan closely examined the bracelet.

He noticed that the entire bracelet was strung together with red jade beads.

The style did not seem like something from Jianghai, no, it didn’t even resemble a product of the Great Xia.

And the attributes of this bracelet were completely different from anything Ye Xuan had seen before.

[Tears of Jealousy]

[Quality: None]

[(Hidden) Trait: Doppelganger, creates an illusion that looks identical to oneself, lasts for 10 seconds. Paying extra Spiritual Power can increase the number of doppelgangers.]

[Remark: Why not! Why don’t I have what you all have? Why were you standing at the finish line from the moment you were born? Why...]

Staring at this bizarre bracelet, Ye Xuan’s mind was also filled with curiosity.

Equipments with no quality rating, this was his first encounter with such.

This indicated that the equipment was made not by a professional, but by an ordinary person with no profession, like Aunt Yun.

But would a piece of equipment made by an ordinary person have special traits?

That was the point of Ye Xuan’s doubt.

However, now was not the time to consider these details. The trait of the bracelet was very much in line with his needs.

Although his damage and control abilities were impressive,

when he encountered enemies that couldn’t be controlled, Ye Xuan, as a mage, could only become a stationary target.

In the past, he managed to somewhat compensate for this weakness with the All-Seeing Eye and He Yalan’s mist.

But the appearance of this bracelet had completely resolved this issue for him.

"Alright, how much for this thing? I’ll buy it,"

Ye Xuan, now carrying over 30,000 in funds, was not really concerned about the price for ordinary gear.

Moreover, since this was a shop selling counterfeits,

how expensive could it possibly be?

Robert remained silent for a while, then said to Ye Xuan, "I feel that this piece is fated to be with you, so I won’t take your money for it. Just take it..."

"Free of charge?"

Ye Xuan instinctively exclaimed in a low voice.

Although he appeared to be a neophyte reclasser,

Ye Xuan’s psychological age was mature beyond any further maturity.
