Chapter 139 -127: Squeezing Bennett, A Big Harvest!_1

After Lin Xun finished reading the price list in the newspaper, he felt that this NPC was even worse than the ‘Fallen Blacksmith’.

After a careful calculation, he found that he only had around 34,000 spirit points in his item section.

According to Bennett’s pricing, his spirit points could only cover the cost of one pair of rare-level eyeballs.

The eyeballs had to be bought in pairs, and the prices listed were for one eyeball. The surgery cost was equivalent to half the price of one eyeball.

The listed price was 10,000 for a rare-level eyeball, but the actual cost of a full set of transplantation was 25,000, which was a full two and a half times over.

Lin Xun, grinding his teeth, was ready to turn into an Earth Giant and fight this guy to the death.

But the reason in his heart stopped him from resorting to violence.

He squinted his eyes, weighing the pros and cons.

‘Bennett’ was undoubtedly an extremely important NPC, who might even have information about side quests and follow-up game process.

According to the nature of underworld games, killing trading function NPCs like this one wouldn’t drop transaction items.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

That is to say, after killing ‘Bennett’, he probably would only get something like the ‘XX level transplantation technique’ skill, similar to the Shell technique.

He had the surgical tools for opening holes and removing eyeballs, so he could perform the transplant surgery on himself.

The craftsmanship might be a bit rough, and it lacked the ‘nerve tissue proliferation solution’ needed after making the hole.

But to kill an important NPC at the cost of getting surgical skills, Lin Xun thought it was questionable.

[Bennett seems to notice your embarrassment and signals you not to rush.]

[He pulls a “Brass Sand Hammer” from under his bird mask and black morning dress, and shakes it gently…]

[A rustling sound rings out…]

[A beautiful young girl descends the stairs next to the counter, girl’s long hair is as golden as sunshine, her curvaceous figure is under the black and white maid’s outfit, sways as she moves.]

[She carries a black box up to you.]

[Now you can see that the girl’s skin faintly shines with a brass-like luster. In the center of her spine, a brass winding key is inserted. With her slightly rigid movements, the winding key is also slightly rotated.]

[Turns out she’s a doll, but the craftsmanship is so superb that she looks very realistic.]

[Bennett tells you that the maid accidentally mixed a heap of subpar eyeballs with a particularly precious special eyeball, which made it impossible to discern.]

[If you are willing to spend a thousand spirit points and try your luck, you may get unexpected benefits.]

Again, a favorite among gamblers!

But Bennett’s ‘Brass Sand Hammer’ reminds Lin Xun of his own ‘Bronze Whistle’.

Is the maid doll also a summoned beast like the three-headed lion?

It seems like Bennett probably has a side quest on him.

After considering his options, Lin Xun temporarily drops the idea of killing Bennett.

In the options of the token badge, he chooses an 80% discount.

The prices on the price list immediately become 80% of the original price, including the gamble for the black box, which now only costs 800 spirit points per draw.

Spending most of his spirit points on rare-level eyeballs seems not very worthwhile.

He has the cheat-like ‘Lucky Coins’, and can choose to draw the black box lottery. No matter how he gambles, he won’t lose anyway.

[You spend 800 spirit points and get a chance to draw from the black box.]

[The ‘Auxiliary Maid Doll’ winks at you and manipulates the box slightly, revealing a hole that only one hand can be put into.]

[You put your hand into the black box, encountering a mass of smooth round objects.]

[You pick out one at random…]

[You received ‘Unknown creature’s eyeball’ (junk item)]

[After Bennett’s careful identification, the origin and function of the eyeball were clear.]

[‘Ordinary Citizen’s eyeball'(junk item), the eyeball from an ordinary citizen of the city of Sofia, other than simple visual function, it has little more than decorative purpose.]

[Bennett hints at you not to be discouraged, life is always full of ups and downs. Why not try again, there will always be a chance of luck.]

“Lucky coins didn’t work?”

Although the Lucky Coin doesn’t activate frequently, it does have a default BUFF that is ‘you might gain a lot of profit but I will never lose’.

How come it doesn’t work on Bennett?

Could it be…

Lin Xun squints his eyes and continues to draw.

[You spend 800 spirit points and get a chance to draw from the black box.]

…

[You picked out one at random…]

[You received ‘Unknown creature’s eyeball’ (junk item)]

[Bennett hints at you not to be discouraged, life is always full of ups and downs. Why not try again, there will always be a chance of luck.]

Again!

[You spend 800 spirit points and get a chance to draw from the black box.]

…

[You received ‘Unknown creature’s eyeball’ (junk item)]

…

[You spend 800 spirit points and get a chance to draw from the black box.]

[You received ‘Unknown creature’s eyeball’ (junk item)]

[You spend 800 spirit points and get a chance to draw from the black box.]

[You received ‘Unknown creature’s eyeball’ (junk item)]

…

After spending a total of 8000 spirit points and drawing ten times in a row, he didn’t get a single decent eyeball. They were all junk items.

It’s impossible for the Lucky Coin to fail ten times in a row. There must be only junk-level eyeballs in the black box!

At this point, Lin Xun finally confirms that Bennett is a complete scammer.
