Chapter 426 New Gem: [Last Night's Stars]
These two must be satisfied with the last transaction; they definitely didn't lose out. Otherwise, why would Mistblade be sitting next to her picking on her?
Given Yu Xunge's quick wit, if she were truly in the wrong to the point that Wu Ren couldn't forgive her, she wouldn't have stayed at the alchemy shop for long, lest she be cornered by Wu Ren.
So either they both have their own ulterior motives, or they want to work together again.
Most of the things Yu Xunge has are things that Wu Ren is interested in, which the latter cannot obtain through shady means and can only be traded.
Thinking back to the question Yu Xunge asked last time, she even suspected that the Fog Blade was summoned by Yu Xunge himself.
Yu Xunge secretly glanced at Wu Ren several times and, finding no sign that he was about to attack, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When they finally finished, Hufflepuff and Little Machi went to count the gold coins, leaving a research room on the second floor to Fogblade and Yu Xunge.
Wu Ren didn't want to argue with Yu Xunge about the linguistic loopholes from their previous transaction; she felt it was embarrassing. She preferred to start a new transaction directly and get revenge. After Yu Xunge and Tu Lan sat down, she said, "I have information from other worlds. 100g of Moon Sand per piece."
“…” Yu Xunge cleared his throat. “Actually, I don’t have to buy it.”
Fogblade sneered: "I traveled all this way and wasted a whole day here, and you're saying I won't buy it?!"
Tulan, now a cat, lifted her head out of the milk cup and said, "Why are you forcing me to buy something?"
Mistblade stared at Tulan for a few seconds, thinking of the curse that had echoed across the battlefield, and silently crossed out a trade option. She took out her hamster Kabbalah and placed it on the table, saying softly, "Go play."
For a moment, Yu Xunge had the illusion that she was attending a gathering of single mothers.
But undeniably, she felt a strong sense of humanity from Mistblade.
This is very disjointed; she would wage war against a world together with other holy races for the sake of the World Tomb, yet she herself is not a bloodthirsty and cold-blooded being.
She wanted the World's Tomb Society to make a deal with Mist and would avenge Mist. She even served as the dean of the school.
Her thoughts drifted away. If one day Zaijiu developed and needed more World Tomb tombs, what choice would she make?
What would happen to the world if players from another world took all the world tombs in one world...?
Mistblade tapped the table: "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"
Yu Xunge snapped out of her daze and immediately apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry! I just thought of Zaijiu's future when I saw you... I'm worried that I can't be as good as you."
The Moon Emperor smiled.
Yu Xunge breathed a sigh of relief. She chose Mist Blade over Maple Syrup because Mist Blade was really easy to coax.
No, Mistblade Moon Empress can't be said to be easy to fool. She's not a fool who's easily deceived. Rather than being easy to fool, Mistblade's personality is more like a childlike innocence beneath her noble and gorgeous exterior.
She would get angry when the potions she made herself were carelessly thrown away at the auction house, and she would be happy when she obtained precious potion ingredients or heard others' praise. She would invent the "Moonlit Nocturne" after being cheated a few times, just to see who owed her something.
On the contrary, maple syrup... Ever since what happened with Qiu Xiong and Su Yitong, she was actually more afraid of maple syrup.
Yu Xunge took out 5g of Moon Sand and pushed it in front of Mist Blade: "I'm sorry, I really wanted to trade with you, but I can't afford the price you offered. This is an apology for making you come all this way for nothing."
Oh my god, I saw the Moon Emperor smile again.
Tulan had already run over and rubbed her head against Fogblade's hand, an action that angered Hamster Kabala, who was now jumping up and hitting her.
Mistblade shook the box of Moon Sand in his hand: "You help me curse a Candle Barbarian, and I'll tell you how to go to other worlds."
There are still three empty slots for curses. One is reserved for emergencies, and one is reserved for Dong Haisha Leng. Yu Xunge does indeed have one unused curse slot.
But she didn't need to make enemies for herself!
Yu Xunge's expression didn't change much, but he asked, "May I ask who this Candle Barbarian who wants to be cursed is?"
Mistblade said, "One of the Candle Barbarian Kings of Shattered Color City, Fat Goose."
"..." Yu Xunge thought her translator was malfunctioning for a moment, but the words "Candle Barbarian King" made her forget about whether the name was a joke. She said, "Actually, if you want to kill me, you can just do it... I currently have no intention of offending the Candle Barbarian King."
Mistblade: "Well, I have no intention of offending Fat Goose, but there are one plan after another to offend me."
Yu Xunge: "..." Look at you, you're being unreasonable again!
Mistblade: "You can pin the curse on me, say it was at my behest."
Yu Xunge still looked resistant.
Mistblade: "How to get to another world, how to create [Moonlit Nocturne], and I'll help you translate the rules of three games."
【Moonlit Nocturne】She doesn't really need it; she wishes such a gem didn't exist in the world.
Yu Xunge: "Can we change to a different gemstone?"
Mist Blade held her breath, then slowly took a deep breath: "You've gone too far..."
Yu Xunge immediately said, "I have already learned the 'Springtime Is Not Too Late' technique you invented. I want to learn more complex gems that condense even more of the beauty of alchemy!"
As she spoke, she took out a complete version of "Springtime Is Not Too Late" that she had made herself and showed it to Mist Blade.
She was betting that some people would feel offended and angry when others learned their invention, while others would be happy that their invention had found a successor.
She bet that Mistblade, who had served as the dean of the Alchemy Academy, was the latter. She bet that Mistblade, who was willing to teach "Springtime Is Not Too Late" to a strange goblin for a World Tomb, would appreciate genius rather than be jealous.
A strange light flashed in Wu Ren's eyes. She picked up the "Springtime Is Not Too Late" stone, examined it for a moment, and then put it down, her expression revealing neither joy nor anger.
After a long silence, the Moon Emperor finally took out a small, glowing blue ball that looked like a Pokémon Koffing and said, "High-grade gem, [Yesterday's Stars]. After use, it can store time inside. The stored time can be used to offset the cooldown time of any skill. The current limit is 24 hours."
After a pause, Mistblade looked directly into Yu Xunge's eyes and said, "In terms of practicality, it can't compare to Hufflepuff's [Melting Time]; in terms of level, it can't compare to [Moonlit Nocturne] and [Springtime Is Not Too Late]."
"No...no no no!" Yu Xunge frowned at first, but the more she thought about it, the more interesting the invention seemed. She sat up straight, even leaning slightly forward, and exclaimed excitedly.
"Time can be stored? At the advanced stage, it can store 24 hours, but if the research is completed to the end, what if I could store a person's entire life? It would be far more precious than [Moonlit Nocturne] and [Springtime Is Not Too Late]!"
Mistblade suddenly laughed, like a "humph," but it was a genuine smile.
