"Wow, Er Gou, youâre so amazing."
Jiang Nan crouched down to pat the dogâs head. "Youâre even using new skills to help the Great God sell equipment!"
"Woof woof, itâs Jiang! Havenât seen you for a few days, how have you been?" The Husky Spirit grinned and wagged its tongue happily after the compliment, waving its paw grandly and saying, "Iâm a versatile dog, thereâs nothing I canât do. Come take a look at the bossâs new equipment. For an old friend, Iâll give you an extra discount."
Jiang Nan scratched her face.
Feeling a bit awkward.
There are quite a few good things among this equipment, but theyâre mostly Level 6 or 7.
Jiang Nan had just recently leveled up to 5, so she couldnât use this equipment yet.
Moreover, sheâs quite broke at the moment, and Crystal Stones are really not enough.
She thought it over a bit and took out an item: "Although Iâm short on Crystal Stones, I got something good today. I wonder if the Great God is interested."
Something good?
Is it equipment, a Skill Stone, or something else?
When Jiang Nan took out the item, Hang Yuâs eyes immediately showed surprise.
[Gray Space Crystal], Gray Upper Grade Quality, can be used for soul fusion to increase the volume of the Soul Space.
Ehh?
It turned out to be a rare Soul Space Crystal!
The Soul Space is essentially Storage Space.
Not every living being in the Spirit Realm has a Soul Space.
The Spirit Realm natives can only unlock it later, but humans are somewhat special; they come with a complimentary Soul Space, though itâs not very big, at most just the cargo space of a regular van.
Is there a way to acquire or expand the Soul Space?
The answer is definitely yes. The main method is to find Space Crystals.
However, Space Crystals are extremely rare, with no known fixed ways to obtain them, only a very slight chance of finding them in some Treasure Chests.
This is the lowest level Gray Space Crystal.
It can increase the Soul Space by about one cubic meter.
Although the volume increase is small, the effect is permanent.
Considering the rarity of Space Crystals, its value is no less than any current Skill Stone.
"This item of yours is nice. It can increase Storage Space volume by about one cubic meter." Hang Yu, who was quite familiar with Jiang Nan, didnât want to take advantage of her, so he explained the specific effect to her, "What do you want in exchange?"
"Only one cubic meter? Thatâs so small!"
Jiang Nan felt that one cubic meter didnât seem to make much difference.
She wasnât yet aware of the rarity of Space Crystals and was a bit unsure about their value.
"I think you should just skip choosing from these; they donât serve much purpose for you. I have something better here." Hang Yu took out a Skill Stone from his Storage Space and handed it to Jiang Nan: "This is the âJudgmentâ Skill Stone I got today, one of the most potent skills for a Holy Professional in the early stages."
"A Skill Stone? An Attack Skill at that!"
Jiang Nanâs clear, bright eyes instantly widened.
For a moment, she was at a loss, "This... this is too precious!"
Hang Yu could have traded the crystal at a lower cost, especially since Jiang Nan knew nothing about the rarity and value of Space Crystals, but he didnât find it necessary to do so.
This girl is quite dependable.
Hang Yu wasnât someone to disregard all ties purely for profit.
Besides, he needed a capable Holy Professional to master this skill, which would help with his upcoming plans, and Jiang Nan was a suitable candidate in terms of both level and relationship.
"Take it!"
The value of the two items was roughly equivalent.
In terms of rarity, the Space Crystal was higher.
So, purely based on the items themselves, Hang Yu gained in this trade, but the Judgment skill held significant meaning for Jiang Nan, so from her personal perspective, she certainly wouldnât lose out.
He acquired the Space Crystal.
But he didnât keep it for himself.
Hang Yu handed the Space Crystal to Er Gou.
The Husky Spirit tilted its head in confusion, "Woof?"
"Use it. The Space Crystal can open up Soul Space or expand its volume. For me, an extra cubic meter or less doesnât really matter, but you, as a sentient being, meet the conditions to open a Soul Space."
Upon hearing this, Er Gouâs eyes lit up!
Doesnât that mean even a dog without Soul Space can create one just by using this crystal?
For Hang Yu,
This crystal was merely an embellishment.
But for the dog, it meant creating something from nothing.
The value and significance were entirely different for the two.
Without hesitation, the Husky Spirit used the crystal. The gray Space Crystal transformed into a light and merged with the bodyâs of the Husky. Er Gou suddenly found he now had the ability to open a Storage Space.
"Woof woof!"
"This is great!"
"Thank you, Boss, for your great kindness!"
Er Gouâs Storage Space was quite small, but with it, the dog could become a treasure-picking dog at critical moments, helping Hang Yu pick up items that were inconvenient to retrieve.
After all, Er Gou was Hang Yuâs Contract Spirit Beast.
Wasnât its Storage Space ultimately tied to Hang Yuâs Storage Space?
Sometimes having eggs in different baskets can also minimize risks.
Of course, Hang Yu also needed to be cautious, ensuring Er Gou didnât easily die, as items stored in the Storage Space could potentially drop upon death.
Jiang Nan had already used the Judgment Skill Stone.
Seeing the effect of the Judgment Skill Stone, she couldnât suppress her excitement.
This is truly an impressive attack skill. With this skill, Jiang Nan wasnât just someone providing support; she could offer decent offensive capabilities.
Back in the beginning.
It was Hang Yu who decided to give her the Light Injury Healing Skill Stone.
Turning her from a useless layabout to a healer.
It was also because of Hang Yu.
That Jiang Nan acquired the Judgment Skill Stone.
Transforming her from a powerful healer into an aggressive healer.
Jiang Nan felt grateful to Hang Yu from the bottom of her heart for his care.
Zhao Ming and the others had already reached Hang Yu by this time. When they saw Jiang Nan acquire such a powerful Skill Stone, everyone expressed a bit of frustration, as they had missed out on a great skill stone by arriving just a few minutes late.
"Awooo!"
"Hey everyone, look over here."
"Check out the new equipment."
"All freshly crafted equipment!"
Even though Zhao Ming was still Level 5 at the time.
However, his Spiritual Qi had already accumulated to about 60 to 70 percent, and he wasnât far from Level 6.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, Chen Yu, and several other leading Level 5 individuals were roughly about the same.
Xu Tianhua was a special case; he had already reached Level 6, and his progress was very fast. After all, he was one of the key figures being cultivated by the military, so it wasnât surprising for him to grow at such a pace.
Xu Tianhua frowned slightly, "Where did you get all this Level 6 and 7 equipment from?"
"I explored the outskirts of the World Tower Labyrinth, where there are many Level 6 and 7 elite monsters."
Hang Yu sized Xu Tianhua up and down.
He already had two pieces of Green Equipment, covering all parts, and looked like a top-grade ensemble, likely making him even stronger. "I plan to form a team next; if Boss Xu is interested, we can take on the Labyrinth together."
Xu Tianhuaâs eyes gleamed.
He was already Level 6 and had mastered five attack skills.
His current strength could clearly be considered outstanding.
The Labyrinth perimeter had numerous Level 6 and 7 elite monsters, which also suited him.
"Alright, count me in next time!" Xu Tianhuaâs gaze drifted over the stallâs equipment and finally settled on a Level 7 Light White weapon, "How much for this giant sword?"
"Oh, Boss Xu, you certainly have an eye for value. This giant sword is the highest attack power weapon among this equipment, though itâs still slightly inferior to our bossâs long spear. However, as a White Weapon, itâs already exceptional, and it only costs sixty White Crystals!"
Only sixty White Crystals?
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianhua couldnât help but wish to strangle a certain dog.
Xu Tianhua intended to skip the Husky, "Hang, give me a fair price. I can use this weapon."
Everyone knew that Xu Tianhua had the "Weapon Master" talent, allowing him to equip weapons one level higher than his own, making it entirely feasible for him to wield this Level 7 giant sword with his current Level 6 strength.
"Oh, Boss Xu, thatâs not right to say."
"This dogâs pricing is the bossâs price."
"Selling such a fine weapon for just sixty White Crystals is already a favor due to your partnership with the boss; otherwise, it would be at least eighty White Crystals."
Three Huskies immediately surrounded him.
They separated Xu Tianhua and Hang Yu.
Facing three talking, money-grabbing Huskies, Xu Tianhuaâs forehead veins bulged, nearly drawing his weapon several times against them.
"Right now, Crystal Stones are pretty scarce, and Iâm not exactly flush. Can we do half-credit?"
"Once I get this weapon early, I can make a bigger impact while we work together."
"Oh, our boss often teaches me, this dog, to be a good dog of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, not to casually owe favors or borrow things."
The three Huskies all looked at him disdainfully, with expressions suggesting he was worse than a dog: "Itâs not that this dog and the boss donât agree; itâs just that, given Boss Xuâs status, itâs unbecoming to have debts spreading around."
Damnit.
Youâre just a dog.
And you pretend to be about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.
You want to borrow things and owe favors, but who would lend to a dog!
Xu Tianhua clearly knew that Hang Yu was hard to fool and that the Husky was even craftier. Bargaining with Hang Yu was one thing, but haggling with a Husky was humiliating.
And with the Huskyâs personality and sharp tongue,
he truly might not get the better end of the deal.
Xu Tianhua didnât waste more words.
He pulled out his trump card.
"I have an Archer Skill Stone here."
"Since youâve learned Assault Arrow, you should be interested in archer skills."
"You also understand the value of a Skill Stone. Besides this giant sword, I want to pick a few White Equipment more."
"Oh, Boss Xu is generous, unexpectedly pulling out a Skill Stone to turn the tables on this dog, leaving this dog no choice." The Husky turned to face Hang Yu, "Boss, what do you think?"
Hang Yu first looked at the Skill Stone.
Then he nodded, "Boss Xu is a part of our team, dog, donât make it hard for him. Since Boss Xu is so sincere, we must meet his requests."
Nonsense.
Exchanging equipment you donât need for a Skill Stone.
Only a fool would refuse such a trade!
