Chapter 105: Chapter 93: The Power Behind the Scenes Runs Deep (2)
It’s hard to imagine that someone who just became a Wizard Apprentice not long ago could know so many things.
Thinking about the numerous resources Sunan has control over, Night Owl couldn’t help but start suspecting if there’s another Wizard Apprentice organization behind him.
Wang Hai sat in silence, saying nothing.
A powerful Wizard isn’t necessarily knowledgeable, but a knowledgeable Wizard is usually not weak.
Knowledge is power; this saying is not a joke.
Originally, Wang Hai thought the player was just a newly promoted Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, and even with the achievement of killing Herb, he wasn’t really given much consideration.
But now, he realized he couldn’t see through the player at all.
After evaluating the Eye of the Rainbow, Red Heart indicated that his transaction was over.
Night Owl glanced at Wang Hai, seeing him silent, then smiled and said, “So, shall I go next?”
What surprised Sunan was that Night Owl actually took out a batch of fist-sized eggs.
“These are Red-Eyed Crow eggs.”
“Red-Eyed Crows are swift, have great endurance, and possess long-range and wide-range vision, making them suitable for patrolling and guarding.”
“I have forty-five Red-Eyed Crow eggs here, along with a breeding manual written by myself. Does anyone want them?”
Red-Eyed Crows!
Sunan’s expression changed slightly.
He knew of these Magic Creatures, indeed very suitable for patrolling and guarding the base.
Although he had Stone Golems in his base, there were too few of them, and they were somewhat clumsy, making it difficult to cover the entire base.
If there were a batch of Red-Eyed Crows working with the Stone Golems, the base’s security would be more complete.
Thinking quickly, Sunan immediately said, “I want them. What do you want in trade?”
“Magic Stones,” Night Owl said without hesitation, “forty-five Red-Eyed Crow eggs plus the breeding manual in exchange for ten Magic Stones.”
Sunan shook his head: “Six.”
They are just eggs, not mature Red-Eyed Crows. Bringing them back, he had to hatch and breed them himself. Just these dozens of eggs were not worth ten Magic Stones.
“Eight.”
“Seven.”
Night Owl hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Deal.”
Another transaction was completed.
Now, only Sunan and Wang Hai had yet to bring out their trading items.
Seeing everyone looking over, Wang Hai smirked, pointing to two small Soul Crystals on the table and said, “These are what I want to trade.”
Night Owl, Red Heart, and Rose exchanged glances.
They had already traded their items with Sunan, and what was left with them couldn’t match the value of these two small Soul Crystals.
Seeing that the three didn’t respond, Wang Hai’s face darkened, taking a look at Sunan’s faint smile, grudgingly taking back the two small Soul Crystals.
Night Owl cleared his throat and said to Sunan, “Player, do you have anything to trade?”
“Of course.”
Sunan smiled, sweeping his hand over the table, where more than ten Magic Stones instantly appeared.
This scene left Night Owl and the others silently astonished.
He had already traded away more than ten of them earlier, and now he took out another ten or so.
Just how many Magic Stones does the player have?
If it wasn’t impossible, they would have thought the player held control over a Magic Stone mine.
“I need Wizard’s Scriptures, Gemstones, and various rare metals. If you have them, you can bring them out to trade with me.”
Night Owl, Red Heart, and Rose were immediately rejuvenated.
If Sunan wanted other things, they might not have them, but Wizard’s Scriptures and Gemstones, any Wizard Apprentice would have.
The key is Wizard’s Scriptures can be duplicated many times, and Gemstones can be bought with Gold Coins.
These two items aren’t particularly rare, making them a perfect trade for Magic Stones!
Thus, the three of them swiftly brought out various Wizard’s Scriptures and Gemstones.
Sunan carefully selected, removing the Wizard’s Scriptures he already had, and accepted the rest.
As for the Gemstones, he accepted them without any worry.
What surprised Sunan was that Rose actually brought out over three hundred Gemstones at once.
Though they were all mid-to-low-grade Gemstones, it was quite a wealth.
To know that Herb only had about a hundred Gemstones on him.
“This guy is either from a noble family or has an alliance with a royal family of a certain country.” Sunan took a deep look at Rose.
Besides, Red Heart and Night Owl also brought out nearly a hundred Gemstones each.
What delighted Sunan was that Red Heart happened to have three rare metals that were materials for the Demon Pattern Core, which he lacked, so he accepted them all instantly.
In total, Sunan acquired over three hundred Wizard’s Scriptures, over five hundred Gemstones, and three rare metals.
And he gave away less than two hundred Magic Stones in exchange.
Night Owl and the others found it very worthwhile to trade Wizard’s Scriptures and Gemstones for the precious Magic Stones.
Sunan also found it worthwhile to use low-cost Magic Stones to get Wizard’s Scriptures and Gemstones.
Both parties felt the trade was valuable.
It was a win-win situation!
The only unhappy person was Wang Hai, who sat alone in the corner.
From the beginning of the gathering, he hadn’t traded a single item; Sunan had intercepted everything.
He couldn’t bring himself to approach Sunan and admit defeat.
Throughout the gathering, he seemed like an outsider.
Looking at the Magic Stones in Night Owl and the others’ hands, Wang Hai regretted a bit, wishing he hadn’t provoked the player.
After a round of trading, Red Heart and Rose showed a significantly warmer attitude towards Sunan.
After all, Sunan had already proven his formidable strength.
Taking out more than two hundred Magic Stones in a single gathering; even the recognized powerhouse of the Deep Forest Lodge, the Scepter, couldn’t do it.
The Deep Forest Lodge was overjoyed to have such a well-resourced member.
This meant more resources could be traded in the future.
The trading concluded, and so did the gathering.
Before leaving, Sunan listed a sheet of rare metals, indicating that if anyone could bring out the rare metals on the list, regardless of quantity, he would purchase them at the next gathering.
Red Heart and Rose wholeheartedly agreed, already considering how to gather more rare metals when they returned.
Soon, only Night Owl and Wang Hai were left in the log cabin.
Looking at the gloomy Wang Hai, Night Owl sighed and said, “Herb’s death was his own doing, not the player’s fault; you shouldn’t make it hard for the player.”
“You saw just now that the player’s resources are far more profound than we expected. Having him join is a good thing for the Deep Forest Lodge.”
“I advise you that if you want to trade for more resources, try to maintain a good relationship with the player in the future.”
Wang Hai was silent for a moment and then said solemnly, “Aren’t you curious about where the player’s Magic Stones came from? How many ordinary Wizard Apprentices can take out hundreds of Magic Stones?”
“And what if you knew? Do you want to take them from the player?”
Night Owl said meaningfully.
“Don’t forget that when the player was a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, he could already eliminate Herb. Now that he has risen to a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, his strength can only be stronger. Do you think you can beat the player?”
Wang Hai was stumped, unable to retort.
“Let’s say you could defeat the player, how can you ensure you get those Magic Stones? Who knows if those resources belong to the player or if he traded them from someone else?”
“If it’s the latter, we might as well cut off a channel to trade for Magic Stones.”
“Since we can consistently trade Magic Stones from the player, why risk doing something futile?”
Wang Hai fell silent again.
After a long while, he stood up and said, “I get it. Forget I mentioned it.”
As his voice fell, Wang Hai instantly vanished.
Night Owl shook his head, looking at where Sunan had just sat, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Through previous investigations, he thought he had a good understanding of Sunan, but after two interactions, Sunan’s image became more profound and mysterious.
Even now, he couldn’t gauge Sunan’s depth.
“A twenty-year-old Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, indeed has deep backing.”
