Chapter 530: Chapter 529: Light Gold Weapon [Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword]

"Well, this Scroll Dragon Desilia really popped up again, and in just three sentences, it made the Beastman spend 180,000 for it. Since you’re so adept at understanding human nature, why do you still need to make money by selling blood?"

Although this point was quite worth ridiculing, considering that Desilia was one of those Scroll Dragons who devoted all its energy to researching spells, Zhang Yanhang somewhat understood. After all, selling blood was truly a fast way to make money, and it wasn’t the least bit troublesome.

And fooling customers would definitely waste a lot of time, resulting in less time for spell research. In that case, although it was indeed possible to make money, it would be somewhat counterproductive for Desilia, since to him, nothing was more important than studying spells.

"Sigh, I actually thought that this Red Dragon Salcano might give up on becoming a major capitalist this time, but I didn’t expect it to be saved by Scroll Dragon Desilia in the end. So, it seems that those two Angels probably really can’t escape the fate of being squeezed dry.

Although it wasn’t mentioned in the summary, during the times when there was an overstock of goods, the extent of exploitation of those two Angels should’ve been reduced a bit, since there was no need to create new products.

Regrettably, the temporary reduction will probably be doubly compensated during the later completion of the large orders, and I fear that they are already on the verge of sudden death."

Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but mourn for those two unknown Angels for 0.2 seconds.

"Speaking of which, the previous introduction at least mentioned the development of new products, with at least a dozen or so words, but when it came to this Magic Totem Pole, only ’other similar products’ which consisted of seven words remained, the proportion seems to be getting lower and lower.

If other related items continue to be produced afterward, it’s possible that the introduction won’t even bother to mention anything related to the items."

According to the contents of the options, Zhang Yanhang figured that Red Dragon Salcano must have taken on another large custom order afterward, thus developing two advanced products, the Chieftain Totem Pole and the Magic Totem Pole, on the basis of the Lightning Totem Pole.

"The Lightning Totem Pole, which had only reached Dark Purple quality through fusion and even after upgrading to +3, only had a bonus of 60% Energy Value Recovery Speed.

But this Light Golden Quality Magic Totem Pole starts with a bonus of 90% Energy Value Recovery Speed, which is 1.5 times that of a Lightning Totem Pole +3—no wonder it, like the Scroll Dragon Essence Blood, is a top score Light Golden item. The scale of the bonus indeed is too great.

Although no specific tests have been run yet, once equipped with this Magic Totem Pole, the speed at which I recover my full Energy Value may become even faster than before."

Although it was neither an Equipment enhancing Power Effect nor Movement Speed or Attack Speed, Zhang Yanhang was quite satisfied with the Magic Totem Pole overall.

After reviewing the Light Golden Quality Magic Totem Pole, Zhang Yanhang then clicked on the last item.

[Item Five]

[Option One: Shaman Mountain Cutter, Purple Quality, Weapon]

[Option Two: Lightning Slash Horse Saber, Dark Purple Quality, Weapon]

[Option Three: Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword, Quality Light Gold, Weapon]

"I didn’t expect weapons to be rolled out? And a Light Golden quality weapon at that? In this case, I indeed seem to have rolled out three Light Golden items, and the loot from Goblin Chief Nu Shan’s Treasure Chest is surprisingly good."

Although the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword had the highest quality, Zhang Yanhang still first checked out the Shaman Mountain Cutter that had suddenly appeared, as he had never seen it before. "I distinctly remember that all Goblin Shamans used Shaman Totem Poles, yet a Shaman Mountain Cutter has come out of nowhere here..."

After briefly reviewing the attributes of the Shaman Mountain Cutter, Zhang Yanhang was astonished to find that it actually belonged to Chief Shaman Maka Baga. "Maka Baga’s weapon didn’t show up in his own Treasure Chest but appeared in Goblin Chief Nu Shan’s Chest instead; that’s ridiculous!"

Counting the Shaman Mountain Cutter and Maka Baga himself, two of the five slots in the Goblin Chief’s Treasure Chest were somehow related to it. It could only be said that Maka Baga probably was indeed of great importance to the entire Nu Mountain Tribe, or else it certainly wouldn’t be reflected even in this regard.

Incidentally, on the Shaman Mountain Cutter, Zhang Yanhang finally saw a Lightning Combo Skill not found on other Dragon Vein Goblin weapons, although it was just a weakened version, Lightning Double Strike, compared to Maka Baga’s own Lightning Four-Strikes.

After quickly reviewing the attributes of the Shaman Mountain Cutter, Zhang Yanhang proceeded to check out the attribute list of the Lightning Slash Horse Saber. As expected, this was previously the Horse-slaying Blade in the hands of the Goblin Chief.

However, the genuine Horse-slaying Blade he had was directly shattered by Zhang Yanhang, so this Lightning Slash Horse Saber in the Treasure Chest must be an optimized version.

Despite being an optimized version, the Lightning Combo Skill on the Lightning Slash Horse Saber was still weakened compared to Goblin Chief Nu Shan’s own Lightning Five Strikes, missing two strikes, and only featuring Lightning Triple Attack.

"A Purple Quality Shaman Mountain Cutter comes with Lightning Double Strike while a Dark Purple Quality Lightning Slash Horse Saber comes with Lightning Triple Attack. If we follow this trend, the Light Golden Quality Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword wouldn’t have a full Lightning Five Strikes, would it? Oh, wait, let’s not say ’strikes,’ let’s be civilized, you and me."

After looking over the attributes of the Shaman Mountain Cutter and Lightning Slash Horse Saber, Zhang Yanhang promptly started to review the attributes of the most important Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword.

[Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword]

[Score: 295 (Quality Light Gold items score between 261 to 350)]

[Summary: Last time, Scroll Dragon Desilia introduced a Beastman customer from a distant land, who not only helped Red Dragon Salcano sell out the inventory of Lightning Totem Poles, but also brought in a new order. This prompted Red Dragon Salcano to subsequently develop advanced versions of the Totem Poles - the Chieftain Totem Pole and Magic Totem Pole - and make another large shipment.

However, while this targeted selling did indeed generate a decent profit and helped Red Dragon Salcano cover most of the financial gap, after fulfilling the order quantity, these two new products fell into the same situation as the previous Lightning Totem Poles and became unwanted, completely unsellable.

Fortunately, Red Dragon Salcano had long known that these items would not sell through conventional sales channels, so he made only a small number of them beyond the order to diversify the product range. Although indeed unsellable, having more items on the counter is always better, as it’s more likely to attract customers than an empty space.

Since this big order was introduced by Scroll Dragon Desilia, out of the friendship between the two, Red Dragon Salcano decided to give Scroll Dragon Desilia a 10% share of the profits as an intermediary fee. This made Scroll Dragon Desilia realize that apart from selling his own blood, earning intermediary fees seemed to be an easy and quick way to make money.

Half a month later, as Scroll Dragon Desilia’s spell research entered a crucial phase and he was rapidly running through money, he brought another new big client to Red Dragon Salcano, seeking to earn another sum of intermediary fees.

Red Dragon Salcano, looking at the Bald Monk from the distant Eastern lands before him and the large bag of Gold Coins he casually threw out (Spatial Bag), felt that if he could fulfill this new order, he might not only cover the losses caused by the ’Big House’, but would also make a substantial profit, thus increasing the wealth of his bed treasury.

With this thought in mind, Red Dragon Salcano immediately asked his Alchemists to provide the recently somewhat balding Angels with a nutrient solution triple the normal concentration. Moreover, he also promised that if they could complete the manufacturing task for this order, he would graciously give the Angels an extended leave of two hours so they could have a proper rest.]

"I’m stunned, this introduction actually doesn’t mention the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword at all, with the most it could be related to being the three words ’new order’.

Even though I had predicted this before, I never expected such a situation to really exist. It’s supposed to be an item description, yet it doesn’t introduce the item in the slightest. Can this even be called an item description?"

Zhang Yanhang felt that the descriptions were becoming increasingly contradictory, but luckily, the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword should be the last item related to Red Dragon Salcano that he could acquire. Now that he had cleared the whole Goblin Plain, there would no longer be any new products from Red Dragon Salcano.

"But even though I indeed won’t encounter any new products from Red Dragon Salcano in the future, I suspect that Red Dragon Salcano is still continuously developing new products by exploiting Angels to earn wealth. Of course, there is also the possibility that the Angels have already died suddenly.

After all, judging from this introduction, even the feathers on the wings are going bald. That means it must be nearing sudden death. A stimulation from a triple concentration nutrient solution could make sudden death seem quite normal under such over-nourishment."

Compared to the Angels who were almost certain to die suddenly, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned about Red Dragon Salcano. He had thought that his journey as a capitalist in another world might come to an end, but now it seemed that with the help of Scroll Dragon Desilia, he might rise to an even higher level.

"Now I see, the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword was custom-made for a martial monk, no wonder it has such a chuunibyo and heavily Eastern-themed name. But I thought monks usually don’t use weapons?"

Zhang Yanhang remembered that monks seemed to acquire a skill similar to Natural Weapon early on, making their bodies as hard as weapons, thus eliminating the need for them.

Of course, there are many different sects among monks, and not all of them refrain from using weapons. So, perhaps this monk who ordered the custom Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword is one of the minority who needs a weapon to enhance their attacks.

"But although the name is very Eastern, the weapon skill is completely a clone of a Dragon Vein Goblin. The Alchemist must have slacked off while developing new products.

And although it’s a pity that there is only Lightning Four-Strikes, the bonus from Lightning Four-Strikes has increased by ten percent compared to the Goblin Chief."

Zhang Yanhang quickly calculated that just the basic Physical Attack multiplier added up to 640%, and the skill itself carried an additional 240% Lightning Attack, which totalled an 880% damage multiplier.

"And moreover, once I activate the Activated Muscle Skill, each attack can further increase Lightning damage by 45%. If all four strikes hit, that’s 180% Lightning damage, bringing the total to a 1060% damage multiplier."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that the Goblin Chief’s Lightning Five Strikes seemed to have a total multiplier of 1200%. So, this Lightning Four-Strikes is indeed quite impressive, falling short by only 140% damage multiplier compared to Goblin Chief Nu Shan’s Lightning Five Strikes.

"So, I choose ’40000 Soul points’, ’Scroll Dragon Essence Blood (Holy Spirit Blessing)’, ’Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)’, ’Magic Totem Pole’, ’Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Sword’." After reviewing all five items, Zhang Yanhang immediately made his final choice.

With the end of Time Pause, Zhang Yanhang didn’t immediately start organizing his things, but instead extended his hand towards another Treasure box. Although he had finished opening the two most important Maka Baga’s Treasure boxes and the Lord’s Treasure Chest, he still needed to open five more Treasure boxes dropped by Zombies.
