Chapter 100

"Four Soul Crystals!"

The registrar whispered in surprise, then immediately said to Qin Ran in a low voice, "Sir, I can buy these Soul Crystals at a high price!"

"20,000 points and 4 skill points, how about that?"

And the other party immediately quoted a price.

"Not good enough!"

"Although the price of a Shattered-level Soul Crystal is 5,000 points and 1 skill point!"

"But that's for a single one!"

"Once the number of the same level reaches four, this price won't do!"

"You should know, this can affect the grade of a magical equipment!"

"Zoel, you're too cunning!"

Without waiting for Qin Ran to respond, Wufa Wutian, who was standing behind Qin Ran, interjected.

"Wufa Wutian?!"

"You two are together?"

The registrar looked at Wufa Wutian, then at Qin Ran, and his expression became somewhat unnatural. But the next moment, he said again, "25,000 points and 6 skill points!"

"Not bad!"

"But it's still not enough!"

"Just such a quote, we don't need to come to the Black Market!"

Wufa Wutian, holding a cigar, smiled at the other party.

"Don't be too greedy!"

"27,000 points and 6 skill points!"

The registrar glared at Wufa Wutian, but then quoted another price.

"Add 500, and we have a deal!"

Wufa Wutian raised his hand and made a gesture of five.

"Deal!"

The registrar gritted his teeth and looked at Wufa Wutian, but finally nodded.

Wufa Wutian immediately stepped aside to let the other party transact with Qin Ran.

Qin Ran looked at the 27,500 points and 6 skill points that were traded over and did not hesitate, directly confirming the transaction.

He came to the Black Market to get a good price for the items in his possession.

And the current price was undoubtedly very satisfactory to Qin Ran.

The average price of a Shattered-level Soul Crystal is 5,000 points and 1 skill point. If the number of the same level reaches four and can complete a special magic array, the price will increase again—this was the price the craftsman told Qin Ran after he privately messaged him about whether he needed Soul Crystals.

And the other party frankly stated that he specialized in inlaying and did not need Soul Crystals for enchanting.

With the craftsman's quote, Qin Ran naturally had a good grasp of the price for four Shattered-level Soul Crystals.

As for keeping the Soul Crystals?

Qin Ran had certainly considered it, but considering the huge investment required for enchanting in the early stages and his current situation, selling was undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, 27,500 points and 6 skill points, even if auctioned, would be about this price.

Although four Shattered-level Soul Crystals are good, no one is a fool and would not pay a higher premium to buy them.

Unless the situation was special.

For example, when Qin Ran sold the [Panzerfaust-2] rocket launcher on the forum.

"2567?"

"Lucky guy!"

The registrar saw Qin Ran's nickname during the transaction and couldn't help but look at him again, giving a straightforward evaluation.

Clearly, the sky-high price of the [Panzerfaust-2] rocket launcher on the forum made many players familiar with Qin Ran's nickname.

However, the registrar in front of him was not just because of this matter.

"The boss has instructed that you will not be charged any handling fees for any auction today!"

"Will you auction everything at once, or separately?"

"I suggest you auction them separately; many team firepower specialists and lone wolves really like light machine guns!"

The registrar pointed to the two [wk-22] light machine guns in front of him and gave his professional advice.

"Then, let's auction them separately!"

Qin Ran was good at listening to the advice of professionals.

After signing a contract with the 'broker' represented by the other party, he walked to the side of the auction stage with Wufa Wutian.

Standing below the auction stage, waiting for the auction to start, Qin Ran did not intend to waste time.

He looked at his points and skill points, silently calculating.

[Points: 61,190; Skill Points: 17; Gold Skill Points: 1; Gold Attribute Points: 1]

"Two [wk-22] light machine guns can bring at least 6,000 points and 4 skill points, so I will have 67,190 points and 21 skill points!"

"Following the optimal attribute growth method, with the gold skill points insufficient and [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] unable to be upgraded, [Unarmed Combat] and [Tracking] are the first choices, requiring 20,000 points and 12 skill points!"

"Then, the balanced choice: [Firearm. Light Weapons], [Dodge], [Stealth], also requiring 20,000 points and 12 skill points!"

"In other words, I need 40,000 points and 24 skill points to meet such a choice!"

"According to the ratio of 3,000 points for 1 skill point, the remaining 27,190 points are enough for me to exchange for the required skill points!"

"But there is [Mystic Knowledge]!"

Thinking of this special skill, Qin Ran's expression was somewhat serious.

Participating in the fourth-level group dungeon in advance was enough to make Qin Ran understand what he would encounter in future dungeons.

To better deal with such situations!

Or, to put it simply: to survive in special situations, Qin Ran must raise the level of [Mystic Knowledge] to a considerable degree.

Qin Ran did not want to lose his life in future dungeons because he could not recognize special texts or symbols written as warnings.

Of course, there was also the possibility of missing out on certain treasures because he could not recognize special texts or symbols.

If such a situation really occurred, it would be terrible for Qin Ran!

Therefore, improving [Mystic Knowledge] was necessary.

"Based on the special skill [Tracking], to roughly estimate, to raise [Mystic Knowledge] from basic to master level, at least 22,000 points and 14 skill points are needed!"

"The skill points are far from enough!"

The final conclusion made Qin Ran frown.

Then, he thought of [Gaze of the Half-Dead]!

This special equipment, to fully unleash its power, requires high mental attributes.

Without the corresponding skills, he would inevitably need to spend points and skill points to buy skills.

This was another significant expense.

Although with the [Key of the Deceiver], Qin Ran could sell the set of [Lockpicking Tools] with covered attributes, this was far from enough to make up for the skill points he needed.

After all, according to the price Qin Ran understood before, the [Lockpicking Tools] were not expensive. Considering the attribute [Delicate lv1], 1,000 points and 1 skill point was the limit.

"I have to make a choice!"

Qin Ran thought to himself.

Then, based on the situations he might face in the future, Qin Ran listed [Unarmed Combat], [Tracking], and [Mystic Knowledge] first.

Qin Ran chose [Unarmed Combat] because of attribute growth and the performance of the equipment [Plus Arm] and [Lightning Knuckle].

Especially [Plus Arm], which Qin Ran listed as a secondary core for current growth and a primary core for attacks.

After the battle with the Half-Dead, Qin Ran confirmed this view even more.

Choosing [Tracking], besides attribute growth, was mainly due to the special nature of the skill, which not only has observation but also allows him to see special entities, which is essential for Qin Ran.

As for [Mystic Knowledge]?

It was also essential due to the special nature of the skill itself.

Then came [Dodge]!

The reason for choosing it was entirely to better complement [Unarmed Combat] for close combat.

"51,000 points and 30 skill points!"

"Exchanging the remaining points for skill points, I still need 4 more skill points..."

"Even after selling the [Lockpicking Tools], there is still a gap of 3 skill points!"

Qin Ran calculated.

The result was naturally unsatisfactory for Qin Ran.

While Qin Ran was thinking about how to better use the points and skill points to improve himself, he suddenly felt a gaze measuring him.

With a hint of malice.
