Fifty or sixty people, each buying ten Abyss Shells, that's a whopping five or six hundred! This immediately attracted all the customers inside the shop, and even passersby outside were drawn in. Everyone looked on with anticipation and envy.
Seeing the large number of customers instantly drawn to the store, Chen Ping knew that such a commotion would definitely attract attention and bring great popularity and attention to the shop. He smiled slightly and said to the owner, "It seems our big purchase has brought you a lot of business."
The owner smiled and replied, "You're too kind, sir. It's an honor for our shop. Your generous gesture has certainly attracted a lot of customers. I'll prepare the opening of these abyssal shell-hidden areas for you now, so that everyone can successfully carry out the shell-opening activity."
Then, in a spacious area of the shop, the owner quickly arranged all the tools needed to open the clams. Fifty or sixty people stood in front of their ten deep-sea clams, the whole space filled with a tense yet excited atmosphere, everyone's face etched with anticipation and curiosity.
The three clan leaders, Deer Tree, Linafil, and Serpent Rhoga, took the lead in opening the Abyss Shells in their hands, creating a spectacular scene. With each crisp sound of the shells cracking, various precious treasures and resources appeared, drawing gasps of amazement from everyone present.
Even if only one-tenth of the five or six hundred Abyssal Shells shine with a remarkable "shell light," the reward is still considerable. Each dazzling ray of light foreshadows the birth of a divine artifact, rare material, or high-level equipment.
Cheers erupted from the crowd from time to time. They were even more excited than the original owners to see others unearth powerful artifacts. Some people obtained rare materials, and each flash of light sparked a new wave of anticipation and excitement.
Although there are many Abyss Shells, there are also quite a few people opening them. Each person only needs to open ten Abyss Shells, and soon they have opened about 70-80%. Surprisingly, about 30% of the Abyss Shells have already yielded a light, which is quite lucky.
As everyone quickly opened their Abyss Shells, the atmosphere in the store grew increasingly lively. The originally estimated one in ten chance of finding a "shell glow" had actually reached around thirty percent during this group shell-opening event, thrilling everyone present. Each time someone opened a shell shimmering with brilliant light, it drew gasps of amazement and envy.
The shop owner was genuinely pleased to see this spectacular scene and the increased customer traffic. After all, such a success was undoubtedly excellent publicity for his business.
Linafiel gazed at the enormous Abyss Shell before her, her most prized possession, one that should emit its own light. With a wave of her small hand, the last Abyss Shell was opened, and the entire shop fell into a brief silence, as if awaiting the final surprise. Then, with a crisp, melodious cracking sound, a dazzling light burst forth from the shell, eliciting enthusiastic cheers and applause.
The light lasted for a few seconds before dissipating, and as the light faded, the treasure hidden in the abyss was revealed.
A long, gleaming black spear suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The moment this gleaming black spear was revealed, it immediately drew the attention of everyone present. The spearhead was as black as night, yet it shimmered with mysterious, dark gold patterns, like stars shining in the night, exuding an extraordinary aura. Unique gemstones were inlaid at the hilt, emitting a faint, eerie glow, giving it an air of unfathomable depth.
The surroundings fell silent instantly. After a few seconds, someone exclaimed in surprise, "This, this is an Abyss Artifact! That's right, I've seen Abyss Artifacts before, they're this color, a dazzling black!"
Linafil reached out and picked up the jet-black spear, examining it closely with surprise and anticipation on her face. Someone pulled out ancient documents for comparison, confirming that the weapon did indeed possess some characteristics of an Abyss artifact, and then exclaimed in astonishment.
Chen Ping, Lu Shu, and She Ruojia also gathered around, looking at the mysterious abyssal artifact in Linafil's hand. This spear seemed to contain a powerful force, giving off a suppressive yet alluring aura simply by getting close.
Lu Shu carefully examined the runes and dark gold patterns on the gun and said in a low voice, "This weapon is indeed extraordinary. Abyss artifacts are usually closely connected with the power of the abyss and possess a power that surpasses that of ordinary artifacts."
"Moreover, judging from the aura emanating from this spear, it has probably reached the level of a main divine artifact."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping, Linafeier, and the others nodded in agreement. Indeed, the aura of this spear had reached the level of a main artifact, but it was very well concealed. Otherwise, the surrounding people would not have been filled with envy and jealousy, but with greedy eyes.
Superior artifacts are fine, but main artifacts are not uncommon in high-level sea areas. Many god-kings only possess main artifacts, let alone abyssal main artifacts.
While the surrounding customers and adventurers yearned for this Abyss Artifact, its aura wasn't overly ostentatious, so their expressions were more of envy and jealousy than greedy covetousness. After all, judging from Chen Ping and his companions, they didn't seem like easy targets. The price of this batch of Abyss Shells alone indicated that only a powerful force could possess it, so even those with greedy hearts dared not act rashly.
......
After confirming that everyone had opened all the Abyss Shells they had, Chen Ping discussed the next steps with Linafil, Lu Shu, and the others. Considering their previous successful experience in obtaining Abyss Artifacts, as well as the shop's popularity and purchase restrictions, they decided to have their companions who remained on the ship also come down to buy some Abyss Shells and bring them back to the Calamity Traveler to open.
So Chen Ping and his group left the shop and returned to the Huoyou, which was anchored in the harbor. They told the clansmen on board the news and gave them enough funds to get them moving quickly.
Chen Ping counted them; there were over a thousand of them. Even if each person was limited to ten, with so many people, they could buy tens of thousands. He didn't know if there were enough of them.
After all, the store that Chen Ping and his group bought had already been mostly sold off.
Lu Shu and Linafei were very interested in the Abyss Artifact they had obtained. As soon as they returned to the Huoyou, they immediately began to study it. After all, this was the first time they had ever seen an artifact of this type. It might be a specialty of high-level sea areas.
As time passed, the tribespeople who had disembarked to buy shellfish in the abyss gradually returned.
