Chapter 400: A Top-Tier Dragon Pet Acquires Undead Resources!
Earth-attribute natural treasures are not found everywhere.
In comparison, the transaction price offered by this student seems too meager and somewhat unequal.
Putting aside whether any of the students in the audience possess earth-attribute rare treasures, even if they did, they might not be willing to trade with this student who lacked sincerity.
After waiting for 10 minutes without any response to the transaction, the second student could only walk off the stage dejectedly, having wasted an extremely valuable opportunity to barter.
After all, transactions are about mutual benefit.
If one party's conditions are not attractive enough, it will naturally be difficult to reach a consensus.
Immediately, a third student took his place and went up to the platform.
This is a customary rule of the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
In each round, the trainees take turns going on stage in a certain order.
Each exchange of resources can only be of the same kind.
This would be more fair.
The student who stepped onto the stage this time was a tall, focused male student.
He was concise and to the point, expressing his intentions clearly in a single sentence.
"This is a dead leaf butterfly found in the fragments of the Forest of Nature. It is a lower-level insect spirit beast of the Black Iron rank, and is considered to be a kind of insect with a very strong racial talent."
I want to exchange for some special resources used for cultivating natural attributes.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he publicly displayed his wares.
He took out a small, transparent box from his pocket. Inside the box lay a brightly colored butterfly with delicate patterns on its wings, resembling withered leaves, making it difficult to distinguish.
"This dead leaf butterfly is very rare in the Forest of Nature. Its racial talent allows it to camouflage itself in any environment, making it almost impossible to detect."
This is a very useful companion for trainees who need stealth abilities.
This transaction was also successful.
However, the one who responded to the transaction was an acquaintance of Ark—the Insect Nest Walker, Gu Yueyuan.
In his previous sparring match with Fangzhou, Gu Yueyuan had exhausted all his efforts to squeeze out the life potential of his natal Gu worm, the Azure Dragon Centipede. Therefore, he had been diligently searching for a suitable natal Gu worm during this period.
Fang Zhou watched as Gu Yueyuan's usually expressionless face showed a rare hint of excitement, clearly indicating that the withered leaf butterfly that the student on stage had brought out perfectly suited his needs.
As for the natural attribute cultivation resources needed by this student, although they are relatively rare on the market, Gu Yueyuan must be quite wealthy to have been able to attend the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
Birds of a feather flock together, and the Haicheng Military Academy cadets who can get along with Fangzhou are naturally extraordinary.
It can be said that this small-scale treasure appraisal event was a rare gathering of strong individuals among the students of Haicheng Military Academy.
Immediately afterwards, one trainee after another eagerly went up on stage.
People's trading needs are incredibly diverse.
A more ordinary transaction involves trading some cultivation resources.
Some of the more unusual trades involve rare or obscure equipment and items, and some even involve trading space fragments or intelligence maps of the Beast Mountain Range.
Of course, not every transaction will be successful.
Or rather, the vast majority of transactions end in failure.
This treasure appraisal event is merely an effort to provide a fair platform for bartering among the students of Haicheng Military Academy; it has never guaranteed that everyone will get the resources they want.
The trainees took turns going on stage, and the first round was about to end.
Meanwhile, Ark, whose order is relatively late, is already getting ready to fight.
There was another burly male student who had just climbed onto the platform before him.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "I have some Dragon Feast Fruit here, which can be used by dragon-born spirit pets below the Black Iron level to accelerate their growth."
I want some equipment or rare items that can increase my combat power, preferably without any usage restrictions, so that anyone can use them.
Who is willing to make this deal?
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's eyes lit up.
Dragonfruit is an extremely rare food ingredient for dragon-type spirit beasts, and it was also listed as the best food in the dragon-type spirit pet training manual that Major General Ning Danxin provided to the Ark.
According to Major General Ning Danxin, she had previously collected some materials for raising Black Gem Baby Dragons.
It's a pity that the Black Gem Dragon is a native species of the mythical world, and there aren't many suitable resources for it to collect on Blue Star, such as Dragon Fruit. Because it cannot be bred and cultivated on a large scale, and the time is too tight, even Major General Ning Danxin was unable to find it.
She only prepared some miscellaneous substitutes for the Ark to feed the black gem dragon hatchlings that were about to hatch.
However, now that they have actually encountered Dragon Fruit, the best dragon feed, at the Treasure Appraisal Conference at Haicheng Military Academy, Ark naturally will not miss it.
Fang Zhou glanced at the students around him, and what reassured him was that these people didn't seem to have much interest in these Dragon Fruits.
That's normal. After all, for students with different attributes and professions, the value and utilization of a resource depends entirely on the specific circumstances.
The same resource is completely disregarded by some people, who discard it like worn-out shoes.
Some people, however, try every means to pursue it, tossing and turning in bed, determined not to give up, and once they succeed, they cherish it as a treasure.
"Dragon resources, huh?"
"I didn't expect that there would be a dragon resource exchange in the first round."
No matter what the resource is, as long as it's associated with the word "dragon," its value increases exponentially. It's a pity we can't use it.
The senior students in the audience sighed and whispered among themselves, but remained seated and motionless.
The burly male trainee on the stage remained calm and didn't seem to care.
He had actually anticipated this situation.
For the cadets of Haicheng Military Academy present, dragon-type spirit pets were simply too high-end.
Apart from Fang Zhou, who managed to latch onto Ning Danxin, a champion powerhouse, none of the other Black Iron or even Bronze-ranked students at the Haicheng Military Academy had the opportunity to contract a dragon-type spirit pet.
Therefore, in the expectations of this robust student, although Longjin fruit is considered a relatively precious resource, its market response at this treasure appraisal conference was far less significant.
Just as things were getting a little awkward, Fangzhou opened his personal terminal and contacted the burly student on stage.
In fact, in terms of Fang Zhou's assets, apart from contribution points, the only thing he can offer is the unique artifact, the skeleton warhorse reins.
Coincidentally, what this burly student needed were all sorts of equipment and rare items that could be used in battle.
Fangzhou still harbored some expectations.
Just as he expected, after he sent the information about the skeletal warhorse's reins to the burly student, the student was clearly tempted.
He was merely a mid-tier Black Iron professional.
For him and his team, the undead mounts summoned by the skeletal warhorse reins provided by the Ark will be of great use for a long time.
In contrast, the fact that he was willing to trade Dragon Feast, a rare dragon feed, indicates that he and his friends did not have any dragon spirit pets to raise.
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," the burly student thought to himself.
Therefore, after comparing the trading terms offered by other students, he decisively signed a barter contract with Fangzhou in his personal terminal.
Three skeleton warhorse reins traded for 100 Dragon Fruits.
This is a very worthwhile transaction for both parties.
Fangzhou stored the 100 well-preserved Dragon Fruits into his spatial storage capsule, pondering a plan for raising the Black Gem Dragon.
The Black Gem Baby Dragon can eat at least one Dragon Fruit every day.
If you do the math, these 100 Longjin fruits will only last it for three months at most.
Major General Ning Danxin had previously told him that the Black Gem Dragon, as a rare dragon spirit pet in the mythological world, has extremely powerful racial talents. As long as it grows smoothly into adulthood, it can possess terrifying combat power at the level of a champion.
Furthermore, for such gifted races, their cultivation progresses smoothly until they reach their racial bottleneck.
Generally speaking, their strength will naturally increase over time.
Of course, there is also an extremely luxurious training method, which is to feed these dragon-type spirit pets some precious resources.
As long as their digestive capacity is sufficient to absorb the abundant energy from these precious resources and transform it into their own foundation, their strength will grow at a terrifying rate.
Of course, under normal circumstances, not many professionals can afford to be so extravagant.
But Fang Zhou is different. With the support of Major General Ning Danxin and the Dragon Fruit from this successful transaction, he is confident that he can provide the best nurturing conditions for the Black Gem Dragon.
After several more trainees, it was finally Fangzhou's turn to ascend the treasure-appreciation platform.
In the past few days of trading markets and auctions, Fangzhou has exchanged almost all the resources he needs.
His purpose in attending this treasure appraisal event was actually quite simple.
On the one hand, it was to broaden their horizons and learn about the financial status of the senior students at Haicheng Military Academy;
On the other hand, the main goal is to see if there are any resources that interest me and try my best to acquire them.
In the previous treasure appraisal segment, he was already pleasantly surprised to be able to successfully exchange for the Dragon Fruit.
Therefore, Ark didn't have any expectations for this time when he went on stage.
According to the rules of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, Ark projected his skeletal warhorse reins onto the appraisal platform once again.
In the past few days, Ark has been auctioning off a skeleton warhorse rein every night, with the auction price ranging from seven or eight hundred contribution points.
Therefore, by now, the students at the Treasure Appraisal Conference were quite familiar with the valuable and expensive skeletal warhorse reins in Fang Zhou's possession.
Fangzhou didn't waste any more words introducing his masterpiece, but said directly, "I have two more skeleton warhorse reins available for trade."
What I want to trade are undead attribute resources, or special resources that can improve the soul nourishment efficiency of Black Iron-level mages.
Are any of the senior students here interested in making a deal?
The gazes of the Haicheng Military Academy cadets below towards Fang Zhou became more serious, filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.
Fang Zhou's personal charisma plays a part, but it also stems from the allure of the No. 1 seed medal from Haicheng Military Academy and the champion medal from the recruit competition he wears.
Of course, his No. 1 Seed title and King of Recruits title also play a very important role on the attribute panel.
All these factors combined made Ark the focus of everyone's attention as soon as it appeared on the Treasure Appraisal Platform.
At the same time, they also became quite interested in what the Ark wanted to exchange for.
After all, everyone has become quite familiar with the skeletal warhorse reins crafted by the Ark these past few days.
Fang Zhou had only been awakened for about half a year, and during this time he had been focusing on his training at the Haicheng Military Academy and had not gone out to gain experience.
In such a simple environment, he not only successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to become a rare Iron-level necromancer, but also took on the secondary profession of alchemist, achieving considerable skill.
What shocked everyone even more was that he could actually create his own unique artifacts.
This was beyond the wildest imagination of all the trainees present.
"After selling so many skeletal warhorse reins, how come Ark still has more?" a student said in a low voice, his tone filled with disbelief.
"This is a genius unlike any other!"
From meditation and cultivation to spell deduction, and then to alchemy and forging, Ark has almost no weaknesses.
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious!
"It's unlikely that he'll get the undead attribute resources he wants."
However, there is still some possibility regarding soul-nourishing resources; if someone were willing to exchange their share for the skeletal warhorse reins he possesses.
Some of the older students were talking privately, saying that they were all quite familiar with each other.
Fangzhou stood on the stage, feeling the complex gazes cast upon him by the students below, yet his heart remained unusually calm.
"No one?" Fangzhou waited for a moment, but no trader spoke.
However, he wasn't very disappointed.
The Dragon Fruit he obtained alone is enough to make him worthy of attending this treasure appraisal conference.
Just as Fangzhou was about to enter the fray, a voice rang out: "Wait, Fangzhou, I think—we can trade for the reins of your skeletal warhorse."
Fangzhou quickly looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it came from a female student he did not know.
Although the students watching were puzzled, they all suppressed their thoughts and watched quietly.
"There are actually students willing to exchange undead attribute resources or soul nourishment resources for the reins of the skeletal warhorse?" Fang Zhou was also pleasantly surprised.
He asked, "What is this senior sister willing to trade in exchange?"
The female student frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Use this slumbering Netherworld Soil."
She displayed her items for sale.
This is a piece of seemingly ordinary black soil, but it is much heavier than ordinary soil.
What is most striking is the faint, almost invisible aura of death on its surface, which involuntarily sends a chill down one's spine.
The students around them gasped softly when they saw the slumbering underworld.
One of them whispered, "This...this is actually the Sleeping Underworld?!"
