Chapter 241: Selling Masks
The Shadow Cheetah can speak human language. Although its intelligence is only equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child, it can still be considered an intelligent creature.
A higher-level Shadow Cheetah would be able to communicate like an adult, but that's not something you can get at this price.
The apprentice seemed a little hesitant, but after seeing that no one made a bid, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
However, the two have only reached a preliminary intention, and specific bargaining will be carried out after the exchange meeting. After all, no one wants the specific exchange information to be leaked.
Then, a few seats later, it was Thor's turn.
"I don't need it right now." Thor had no intention of looking for anything from these apprentices and planned to skip it.
But at this time Luo Kai encouraged him, saying: "If you don't want to buy anything, you can sell the things you don't need. We have many rich people here."
Thor didn't want to sell anything he owned, after all, all he had were top quality items.
But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he really had a prop that he had not used for a long time. It was sealed in the warehouse and he usually didn't even dare to open it.
It was a mask made from the skin of a young girl’s thigh—a necromancer’s mask of intimidation.
When he was still a rookie, he was tricked by a second-year senior into the first morgue and was nearly possessed by an evil spirit. In order to save himself, he accidentally created this mask.
However, because it was contaminated with the extreme filthiness of fairies, it had an extremely disgusting odor that could not be removed and could not be worn at all. Even if you held it in your hand, your body would be stained with the stench that could not be removed in the short term.
So, Thor put the mask aside and almost forgot about its existence.
The biggest use of this mask is that it can prevent you from being possessed by evil spirits.
But Thor is not really afraid of being possessed by ordinary evil spirits now.
It’s not certain who will eat whom!
If it is a high-level evil spirit, this mask will not work, and it is not as effective as Thor's own fight.
"I have a mask that can prevent you from being possessed by common evil spirits. Even if you are possessed, it can still repel evil spirits to a certain extent. If anyone is interested, you can make an offer."
Sol had never exchanged things at an exchange meeting, so he wasn't very clear about the prices. It would be better to let these rich people set their own prices.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately became interested.
"What level of evil spirits can be dealt with?" The first person to ask was Ku Jin.
"I haven't tried it specifically, but I have exorcised an evil spirit that even a second-level wizard apprentice couldn't handle."
"How long did it take?" This time it was the female apprentice who had mocked Mentor Kaz.
"It's very quick, just a few seconds." Because Thor was the one who was possessed at the time, he was a little fuzzy about time. He could only roughly know that it was not long, but he could not tell exactly how many seconds it was.
The female apprentice's eyes immediately lit up.
But before he opened his mouth, Wright suddenly shook the little maid in his hand, and the mechanical joints on the little girl's neck were revealed during the shake, and she turned out to be a lifelike doll.
The shaking of the puppet caused a sound of friction between joints, interrupting the female apprentice's words.
"I want the mask." Wright said directly.
The female apprentice immediately glared at him, "Wright, didn't you hear that we are still asking him?"
Light smiled and said, "I heard you. You can ask whatever you want. I want that mask."
Wright was determined to buy the mask no matter what.
"His performance today was very eye-catching. It seems that he is one of the people who returned with a great success as Luo Kai mentioned." Sol supported his chin.
He was in no hurry to make an offer.
Apprentices who often go out on missions seem to be very interested in items that can ward off evil spirits.
In the end, Wright was the winner among the three.
Wright had just exchanged his former mount for a large sum of money and was now very wealthy.
But when he looked at Thor with pride of victory, the smile on his face suddenly turned awkward and he shrank back behind the doll maid.
This exchange meeting is only responsible for conveying information and reaching a preliminary agreement. The final transaction will still be carried out by everyone after the exchange meeting.
As for whether there will be any accidents along the way, Luo Kai and his mutual aid group will not take care of it.
After Thor it was the turn of the third-level apprentice, Jero.
"Well, I don't have anything to sell, but I have accepted an outbound mission. This mission is not very dangerous, but the journey is a bit far. We have to go to Baidong College for exchange. Everyone here is the best in the Wizard Tower. If you are interested, you can go together and earn some extra money on the way."
When Jero said this, his eyes were on Thor, obviously inviting him.
But Thor remained unmoved.
Not to mention that he already has a lot of things to do, and he is not familiar with Jero.
The last experience with Bill was not a good one. Thor would rather act alone than go out with someone who might cause trouble at any time.
However, although Thor had no intention of responding, many third-level apprentices expressed their interest.
Some second-level apprentices even wanted to participate because they heard that the mission was not dangerous.
Jero had a smile on his face the whole time and agreed to everything.
In the following rounds, almost every apprentice had news, tasks, and props to buy and sell.
The most exaggerated one was Wright. What he wanted to sell was actually a life-like doll sitting on his lap.
This doll really looks like a living person. Except for some key joints, the rest of the doll is covered with a layer of artificial skin. It can also detect heartbeat and breathing.
"Has your hobby evolved from real maids to fake maids?" asked a man who had a good relationship with Wright with a smile.
Light raised his eyebrows, "This puppet's outer shell is indeed nothing special, but the inside is very special."
Wright said, turning the doll around so that everyone could see her back.
The clothes on the back of the puppet maid are specially made, with very few pieces of fabric. When her hair is parted, a large area of white skin is revealed.
However, in the middle of the simulated back skin, there was a crack strung together with a rope.
Wright untied the rope, reached into the crack, and pulled out a beating green heart.
There is a hose on top of the heart that is still connected to the puppet's body.
"This is a living puppet that Land Cruiser recently put on the shelves. It is powered by some vengeful spirits and plant spores. As long as it is activated with magic crystals, it can almost behave like an ordinary person."
"What's the use of this?" asked a female apprentice with a frown.
"It's very useful. It can be used for exploration, camouflage, ambush... It all depends on whether you have enough brains."
The female apprentice said coldly: "I am asking you what is the use of being a maid?"
Leta rolled her eyes, "This is just my personal hobby. I'm not selling her anyway, I'm just selling the news. If you want to buy it, I can sign a line."
Hearing this, Thor leaned forward slightly, "How many dolls are produced? What's the price per unit?"
When Wright saw someone interested, his eyes lit up and he looked over. When he found out it was Thor, he immediately said seriously, "This also needs to be customized. The fastest time is ten days and the slowest is three months. It depends on the customization requirements."
"How long can a doll be used?" Unexpectedly, Haywood was also somewhat interested.
No one expected that the first people to ask the price would be Thor and Heywood.
For a moment, everyone began to wonder if they hadn't thought of the real purpose of this seemingly useless doll? So a few people began to consider whether to buy a few to study.
Wright also noticed that there was business coming, and couldn't help rubbing his hands. "If it's just simple communication or non-physical activities, like what I have here, a heart can last for half a year. But if it's involved in a battle, it can only last ten days. If it involves consuming mental energy, it may not last for a few hours."
"I'll order ten."
While Thor was still hesitating, Haywood didn't even ask the price and directly ordered ten.
There was a commotion in the activity room.
No one knows why Heywood, a man who never goes out, buys so many dolls? It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket, and I will add more today.
