Having figured out what was happening, Du You also felt at ease. Ahead, a party wanted to buy but couldn’t meet the conditions, while the other side remained firm in not accepting other conditions, resulting in a standoff. This big man, stubborn as a mule, wouldn’t back down. "Hmph, I’d like to see who can meet your high conditions today." Finally, the haggling young man gave up, but sat across from the stall, glaring at him in resentment. Seeing the man step aside, Du You walked forward and said, "Can I take a look?" The big man said grumpily, "Look all you want, but don’t talk to me if you can’t meet the conditions." It seemed such incidents were not uncommon, and the big man found these people extremely annoying. Du You picked it up, and the panel’s prompt indeed wasn’t incorrect. "Hehe, of course this thing is real, but who can fulfill such conditions. Heavy Weapons? The ones capable of using Heavy Weapons are at least level 4 to 5. Their combat styles are already formed; who would buy such things? Heavy Weapons still have value in the market. Even if melted down, they yield a lot more material for other weapons." "Can Heavy Weapons be melted down into other weapons?" Du You’s eyes widened in surprise, as this was his first time hearing of such a thing. "But can weapons re-forged after melting be taken to other Derived World? Wouldn’t they no longer be recognized as equipment from the Derived World? Whatever, this has nothing to do with me." Du You removed the cloth strip tied to his body: "What about this?" As he unwrapped the cloth, a white glow emanated from it, dazzling those around. "A chain weapon in white, really rare. This kind of weapon is not for everyone, given its substantial weight." "Yeah, yeah, I didn’t expect someone to bring out something of this sort. However, I suppose its main function is not as a weapon. If used as a chain, it has quite a wide range of applications." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 A knowledgeable onlooker shouted to Du You, "Young man, don’t exchange this thing, sell it to me at a high price." "You, you guys, you’re certainly in cahoots! I knew it. You can’t fool me," exclaimed the young man who had been haggling, his eyes bulging incredulously and his face flaring up with anger, thinking he had been conned. "Hmm, don’t try to cheat me. Go on with your transaction if you dare." The young man sneered, watching the two of them. Neither Du You nor the big man paid him any heed. The big man picked up the chain, assessing its weight, a satisfied look in his eyes. White weaponry, especially of the heavy kind, was just what he needed. Even though it was a chain, with a bit of practice, it could still be wielded smoothly. "Not bad, it’s a great weapon, but its value is a bit low to be compared with my Skill Crystal Stone." Du You remained calm: "Although its value is a bit low, what you’ve got isn’t that easy to sell either. I see that you’ve been running this stall for a while." "Raise the price a bit then; otherwise, I won’t agree." The big man looked at the chain in his hand, reluctant to let it go, but also reluctant to sell it for cheap - it would be such a waste of his Skill Crystal Stone. Du You smiled faintly - he saw an opportunity. "In that case, I’ll add twenty white Crystal Coins." The big man shook his head: "Fifty. Add fifty." Du You expressed his dissatisfaction: "You’re asking too much. My white Crystal Coins still have uses; I can’t give them all to you. If this is the price, then I can only give up. Although this skill is useful, its impact is not significant, and you should know that." As a Magic-class entity, many people were familiar with the basic skill of Spiritual Lock. But, very few trained in it. People just knew that this skill could be useful in the future, but it wasn’t of much use initially. They believed that when it becomes useful, they could cultivate it then instead of purchasing it at a high price now. The big man’s eyes finally softened, and after a while, he held up three fingers: "Add thirty white Crystal Coins, not a coin less." It was clear that this was the big man’s bottom line. Du You thought for a moment and decided to agree: "Alright, then I’ll add thirty." Du You took out the twenty-two white Crystal Coins from the previous transaction and added another eight from his pocket. These were eight white Crystal Coins he had won himself. Although not many, Du You felt somewhat sad parting with them. "Keep pretending, just keep pretending! Let’s see how long you can keep this up." The young man sitting in front disbelievingly watched the two of them as if they were two great actors. His attitude made the surrounding people uncertain about who was genuine and who was acting. They just decided to watch. Du You didn’t bother with the others; as long as it was good for him, and proceeded with the transaction through the panel. He immediately opened the Crystal Stone. As soon as he did that, the Crystal Stone turned into light dots and merged into Du You’s body. Simultaneously, new knowledge and experiences appeared in Du You’s mind, and a new basic skill – Spiritual Lock level 6 – was added to the panel. Du You smiled; his perception of his surroundings had become more sensitive. Even though the direct locking range was not very far, he could still make his magic far more accurate. Previously, the method used by the Goblin Sacrifice to intercept Magic Missiles with Magic Missiles, Du You felt he could now do that as well. This was the effect of Spiritual Lock, and it seemed not to be a bad deal. There sat the young man, his eyes wide open in disbelief. Since the Crystal Stone was already used, it proved that it was not a pretense. Who could pretend to use something up? The young man looked on regretfully, his gaze full of hostility towards Du You. But Du You absolutely ignored him, as the man couldn’t see his true appearance anyway. Let’s see if you dare to start a fight in the market. People who dared to start a fight here would be asking for trouble. Did he really think that those who maintained order were fake? Paying no mind to the trembling finger of the guy, Du You turned around and disappeared into the crowd. Soon, no one knew where Du You went - he was simply untraceable. There were just too many people wearing Ultraman masks in this place. Du You was delighted. Coming to the market was indeed a great choice, he had reaped quite a lot. Two skills, one general skill, one basic skill - just like that, his power increased significantly. Even without leveling up, Du You knew his combat strength had improved a lot. Looking around to see what else good the market had to offer, Du You wandered around, searching everywhere. However, it seemed his luck had run out. Despite spending half the day looking, Du You didn’t find anything else of interest.
