Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Shares

After carefully reviewing the long list of equipment effects, Han Dong was left in a state of shock and bewilderment.

After a while, he noticed a paragraph at the end.

“Please offer your blood to the great Abyssal Blood God. Those with low-level blood cannot become Blood Oath Keepers, nor are they worthy of Rorg Horen’s blessing.”

Apparently,

To use this damaged item, blood needs to be dripped for ownership, and it also has relatively high requirements for blood. You can’t just use it as you wish.

“Diana, I’ll take this thing…”

...

“Hmm.”

Despite not receiving any equipment, Diana was satisfied.

This was her first involvement in a True Fate event since becoming a Formal Knight, and the early part of the “Clown Revival” had nothing to do with her… The fact that she could come here was all because of Han Dong’s groundwork.

Successfully clearing the act and gaining the first crucial Talent Point (Tree) left Diana quite fulfilled.

What’s more, under Han Dong’s guidance, she had mastered Demonization, which was the most valuable gain.

“Phew… Luck is off the charts.”

Staring at the extremely precious equipment in the chest, Han Dong struggled to contain his turbulent emotions for a while.

While chuckling madly,

He cut open his wrist, allowing a large quantity of blood to fall into the mouth of the skull accessory.

This blood was of Blood Brew quality.

He immediately received a system prompt – “Bound to the exclusive equipment ‘Master of the Blood Oath. Rorg Horen’s Skull of Dark Blood (Broken)’, Holder: Valen Nicholas.”

A layer of dense blood-red fog emerged from the pocket-watch-sized skull’s surface.

A highly resilient thin line, similar to a blood vessel, passed through the eye holes on both sides of the skull and hung on the chest.

The moment of equipping the accessory.

Blood surged, and a pure-blooded Hundred-eyed Bloodhound took form behind Han Dong, with a body length of over five meters, almost filling the entire living room of the apartment.

The Bloodhound became stronger and fiercer, additionally possessing a super strong life recovery trait, making it difficult to be killed.

However, the enhancements brought about by this accessory were far more than that.

Maybe it would play a great role in future Big Expeditions… or maybe there would be a chance to complete this damaged accessory during the Big Expedition.

“Nicholas, once we’re back in town, you have to let me play with your body… It’s too interesting! Your human Fate Space is really fascinating!

Who would have thought such high-level Fresh Blood exists here, even something comparable to Blood Brew.”

Upon learning the properties of the accessory, Count instead showed greater excitement than Han Dong…

Barely having stayed within Han Dong’s body for less than a year, he had already witnessed knowledge and novel existences beyond his decades of experience.

If Count were given another chance to choose, he would decisively choose to stay.

It was a hundred times more interesting than being the master of Scarlet Manor.

…

“Nicholas, congratulations! If you can find an appropriate opportunity to repair this damaged accessory perfectly, you might get a ‘Legend Level’ piece of equipment.

I can’t believe that a chest given by the chain event could contain such a rare grade of equipment.”

When staring at the main reward in the chest, Cass felt for an instant that the just-received hammer wasn’t so impressive.

Although repairing a damaged accessory is basically impossible, especially when its quality has reached the Epic Level, as a reward for the first True Fate, its quality is indeed very high.

Han Dong had only recently become a Formal Knight for less than a year, yet he already had two Epic Level items that matched his attributes. This was unparalleled throughout the development history of the Holy City.

“It could be the bonus effects brought by the perfect ending, plus my good luck today… Cass, Diana, I have some personal matters to attend to.

You guys leave Derry Town first and take care of the ‘Reward Settlement’.

In a few days, let’s schedule a time to have a celebration feast.”

“Hmm…”

Cass, while staring at the share transaction documents, immediately nodded.

Diana was slightly hesitant, but she eventually said: “Um… the ‘True Fate’ permit was written by Uncle Curran.

Remember to come to the Night Watchmen Headquarters… I’ll be waiting for you there.

We have to report the situation to Uncle Curran together.”

“Yep, I’ll contact you when I get back… You guys should go back and rest, you haven’t slept for almost two days and nights.”

“Okay.”

Cass and Diana disappeared.

Han Dong was the only fate participant left in Other Derry Town. He picked up the share transaction documents and headed to Professor West’s place, taking the bottled skull and heading straight for the town hall.

…An hour later.

All relevant matters had been clarified.

The town mayor also had no complaints about Han Dong taking the residents away.

“If you have 10% of the shares, naturally you can take Professor West away from me… Of course, you must offer an equivalent trade.

Fate equipment won’t do; I need something of high value.”

Han Dong, eyeing the rights he could enjoy from owning 10% of the shares, nodded slightly.

He then took out a lease agreement.

“I will use the node usage rights of the Strange Tales world to exchange for the 10% shares of Other Derry Town… Mayor, is that okay with you?”

Although the Strange Tales world is a Five-Star Difficulty world suitable for Apprentice Knights, currently it’ has not much use besides exchanging lease agreements for points… It would be better to hand it over to the mayor, who might be able to scout talents and have them promoted to come to Derry Town.

For example, Mister Aha and Origin Granny who have already touched the promotion level, or the current operator of the lighthouse – the Collector.

For both Han Dong and the Strange Tales, it’s a win-win situation.

“You actually have the usage rights to such a top-level mini-world… Interesting, indeed it can exchange for 10% of Other Derry Town’s shares.

If you’re sure, please sign here.

However, I need to remind you. I only agree for you to take Professor West, but if you want to bring him out, you still need to pay some point amounts.”

“Yes, I know.”

The mayor nodded to ensure that Han Dong was completely sure of every detail of the transaction.

After all, once the agreement is signed, Han Dong will be a shareholder of Other Derry Town. We will still have cooperation in the future.

“That’s good to know. The point amount required to take Professor West is not much since his level is not high… However, if you want to take out Miss Jane, I’m sure the points on you won’t be enough.”

“Right, I don’t intend to take Miss Jane… Staying in Derry Town will be better for her development.”

With that said,

Han Dong signed the contract.

“You have lost the ownership of ‘Node – Strange Tales’ and gained 10% shares of ‘Node – Other Derry Town’.”

Han Dong estimated that in a short while, Derry Town would probably have an additional grocery shop and a recycling center.

The transaction ended.

The mayor stood up, bowed slightly as a high-ranker, “Thank you for all you’ve done for Derry Town…”
