YM778.TV Chapter 302 - 302 Purchase
Staring at the face on top of the demon statue, Song Jian couldn’t help but complain: “Why do you hate me? Your men weren’t killed by me, and you weren’t trapped by me. Injustice has its source, debts have their debtor…”
Just at that moment, Song Jian suddenly felt two ill-intentioned gazes on him. His voice suddenly diminished and he awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Having sealed the Great Demon, the Goddess Priestess also showed a hint of fatigue with fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
“Alright, it is now sealed. After a hundred days, the divine text chains will have absorbed all of its Origin Power. At that point, it will perish completely once killed and won’t resurrect again.” The Goddess Priestess said.
” What about this statue, do we just leave it here?” Song Jian pointed at the ferocious face in the air above the statue and said, “Are you sure you’ve completely sealed it?”
“That’s just the last vestiges of its demonic aura, coalesced together. It will dissipate slowly, there’s no need to worry.” The Goddess Priestess glanced at Song Jian, “The statue can only be left here, but don’t worry, if anyone with malicious intent tries to free the demon, the divine text chains sealing the demon will automatically attack, there’s no|”5]?!”
Song Jian took a look at the Goddess Priestess. Although her level wasn’t high, only around thirty, her strength was extraordinarily formidable. He wondered how she had cultivated her powers. Could it be that the Dawn Priest could evolve into a Dawn Officer in the future?
“I’m leaving, stay vigilant!” The Goddess Priestess gave Song Jian a meaningful glance before disappearing into the shadows.
“Stay vigilant? What should I be vigilant about? The Great Demon has been sealed. It can’t come out…” Song Jian found it odd.
Right at that moment, Song Jian received two system notifications:
System: You have received the Abyss Demon’s Evil Curse, your Luck -3;
System: The Abyss Demon has started looking at you. After a hundred days, the seal of the Abyss Demon will be broken, and it will come looking for you. If you are killed by the Abyss Demon, your body will be seized by it!
“Damn, what the hell, are you crazy!” Song Jian couldn’t help but swear, “Injustice has its source, debts have their debtor. Go find whoever sealed you! Why are you coming after me, do I look like an easy target to you?”
This Abyss Demon was clearly trying to bully the weak, most likely feeling that it wouldn’t be able to defeat the Goddess Priestess. As a result, all its hatred was targeted at Song Jian, especially since Song Jian had taken its Sacred Spirit, it naturally became the Demon’s priority.
In the daytime, the Rune Chains will fully drain the Abyss Demon’s Origin Power, and it will no longer be able to resurrect. It only needs to be killed once to eliminate it completely. For the Goddess Priestess, this Abyss Demon no longer has the qualifications to be an enemy anymore, so might as well just hand it over to this human in front of her.
Song Jian is now cursed by the Abyss Demon and his Luck has decreased by three. This means that the likelihood of triggering any skills with a certain chance will decrease by 3%. The drop rate for defeating monsters will also decrease by 3%, and opening any chest or such drops by 3%. It’s truly an unlucky predicament.
Only after killing this Abyss Demon can the evil curse be broken. Hence, a battle between Song Jian and the Abyss Demon is inevitable!
The grotesque face on the statue of the Abyss Demon continually howled and shouted at Song Jian, but soon dissipated into the air due to a lack of energy.
The entire Shadow District went quiet, devoid of a single human figure. Song Jian looked left and right before walking towards the district exit.
He went to the auction house and listed the Stealth Skill Stone. Then he checked the silver-grade shield he’d put up for auction earlier. It had reached a price of 18,000 Doomsday Coins and seemed to not rise any higher. This price had far exceeded Song Jian’s initial estimate. Even if he split this with Li Ke’er, they’d each get close to 10,000 Doomsday Coins. It was a pretty good deal.
Now, his bag held more than 15,000 Doomsday Coins. Adding the price of the shield and the stealth skill stone, Song Jian’s final Doomsday Coins might exceed 30,000.
Even the alliances in the city probably didn’t have as many Doomsday Coins as Song Jian. Storing this many Doomsday Coins in his bag was a waste, he needed to convert it into his own strength as soon as possible.
After using the Sacred Spirit, all of Song Jian’s stats increased by 2 points. Now, his highest stat was not Strength but Agility. Not counting the additional attributes from the “Flame Skeleton Repeating Crossbow” and the “School Flag”, his Agility had already reached 16, and with equipment bonuses, it could reach 19. Even counting the equipment, his Strength was only 16.
He was only 2% Experience Points away from reaching level 15. His Sword Finger Skill had the highest proficiency, already reaching 97% at level 2. It seemed that he would spend his next Skill Point on Sword Finger Skill.
Song Jian opened the auction interface and started searching. After a long while, Song Jian shook his head. The equipment listed couldn’t even compare to what he had, which is why a silver-grade shield could reach such a high price. It seemed that there was a shortage of good equipment. How could anyone put it up for auction when they were using it themselves?
Closing the equipment auction interface, Song Jian opened the skill interface. There were even fewer skills listed than equipment, only two pages and just over a dozen skills.
These skills were weak. Either they were attack skills with too little damage, had too severe of side effects, or required a special lineage or special weapon. And the prices were high. The cheapest skill started at 5,000 Doomsday Coins. They were just treating the other players like fools.
Hence, none of these skills listed had received any bids. They were hanging there alone, waiting to be delisted when the time ran out. The auctioning player would even have to pay a listing fee for this. It was simply a major loss.
Next, Song Jian opened the materials interface. This interface was much richer, filled with an array of materials. The most common were wood and stone materials. Since they were so abundant, the prices were very low, only slightly higher than selling to the system store.
The rest were various types of ores, which were quite costly, followed by numerous materials dropped by monsters. Cooking, Alchemy, Pharmacy, Blacksmithing, Engineering, all kinds of materials were available.
Besides, there were some rare and odd items. Players didn’t even know what they were used for. These were classified as special materials by the system and thrown into the auction house, priced ridiculously high, which deterred buyers.
Song Jian searched for the materials needed for the high explosive grenades. Surprisingly, he found seven to eight kinds. Although they weren’t cheap, they saved Song Jian a lot of time and energy, so Song Jian bought them all.
He then purchased a large pile of materials needed to make the Self- destructing Robot. In an instant, the over 15,000 Doomsday Coins in his bag was halved, leaving him with less than a thousand.
However, once the shield and Stealth Skill Stone were sold, Song Jian’s purse would be filled again, so he wasn’t worried.
After buying a huge amount of materials, Song Jian headed towards his Manor Castle.
