99: Chapter 82: Exchange 99: Chapter 82: Exchange Life always encounters cycles of repetition like this. Just after stepping out of the Secret Realm, Lu Ping’an found himself in the same embarrassing situation as he once was with Meow. He saw Wang Hai, who indeed showed a surprised look on his face saying, “How did you come out so quickly?” After pondering for a moment, Lu Ping’an helplessly sighed, feeling like he had no choice. So, just like he did with Meow back then, he gave almost the same answer. “…I ran into Li Dao’an.” “Oh.” The calm response from the other side made Lu Ping’an feel even more subtle, something like: “Did I have the same attitude towards Meow back then? That’s kind of annoying.” But the next moment, Lu Ping’an noticed that the other party didn’t seem to have any time to laugh at him. “It seems like things went bad?” “It’s fine.” Wang Hai’s condition was far from being fine. His wounds were mostly healed due to the Ghost Transformation, and his petrified skin was back to normal, but the excessive Ghost Transformation had become a new problem. The sharp fangs at the corner of his mouth and the devilish horns on his head were not something a Healer could cure, he needed to put the “evil spirits” back into their cage. “…Maybe I’ll need some time to adjust after going back. It’s too expensive to find a professional Purification Master, just staying in a quiet room for a few days will do. I was a bit impatient back then. Huh?” Lu Ping’an suddenly patted himself, and Wang Hai looked up with some surprise. “Wait a minute, don’t worry, let me think…” [Investment target’s pollution level is too high; investment failed.] It seems that Lu Ping’an still couldn’t invest in a third-tier now, and this fat leek would have to be postponed. At this time, Lu Ping’an’s expression became somewhat subtle as he looked at Wang Hai. Perhaps it was the familiar “fighting posture,” or perhaps they enjoyed their previous fights too much, but Lu Ping’an actually had some good feelings towards Wang Hai. Of course, it also had something to do with him inquiring about Wang Hai’s news and, in some sense, sharing similar experiences. “…Let’s give a helping hand, and collect some data along the way.” After making up his mind, Lu Ping’an lowered his head and whispered a few words into Wang Hai’s ear. Wang Hai’s eyes widened in disbelief, but seeing Lu Ping’an nod affirmatively, he laughed, showing a rare look of surprise. They agreed on a meeting place, and a tired Wang Hai excused himself and left. As for Lu Ping’an, he naturally went on to do the most important thing at the moment – settle the Secret Realm. [Third-tier Secret Realm ‘Everlasting Abyss’ is completed, Lu Ping’an’s overall evaluation is ‘A’] [Words of encouragement from the Secret Realm Master (Rust Knight Virtual Persona): Don your armor and wield your weapons. You have grown from weakness to strength. Young warrior, this was an exciting battle, and I will reward you for your outstanding performance.] [Host acquired 500 store coins (these coins can only be used during Rust Knight related Secret Realm settlements).] [According to the overall evaluation and the attitude of the Secret Realm Master, your Secret Realm rewards are as follows. Please make a choice within 1 minute, or the Secret Realm Master will choose randomly for you.] [A. Grant additional contamination to your body (Rust Knight’s purification).] [B. Rust Knight’s random blessing (third-tier or below).] [C. Obtain one random Taboo item or quasi-pollutant item (Lower Brass level).] [D. Obtain one additional trial opportunity (Lower Brass).] [E. Unlock shopping store (A-level evaluation).] What should he choose? After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Ping’an didn’t hesitate and chose E. Unlocking the store only appeared with an A-level evaluation or above, and it didn’t offer just one opportunity, but a privilege. Once it was unlocked, you could also shop at other Rust Knights Secret Realms later (with the same privilege level), but the currency was a bit hard to come by. “If it weren’t for the fact that we need to clear out now, choosing D and playing one more game would be great. Option C would enjoy the pleasure of drawing cards, but compared to C’s randomness, option E should be more reliable. After earning money, I have to spend it quickly,” Lu Ping’an thought. So, he started thinking on the spot while people were coming and going around. Then, suddenly, he smiled excitedly, and two new objects appeared in his hand. “Heavenly Sniper European Dog!” “Seal!” Immediately, someone started with their reflex response. Only Director Qian, who had been watching this, subconsciously muttered, “Good luck, huh? What a liar.” Facing the collective anger around him, Lu Ping’an just happily waved, picked up his new items, and left. And the joy at the corner of his mouth undoubtedly indicated that he had indeed made a fortune. “Mr. Knight is really reliable. He gives rewards without hesitating, no discounts. No, it should be said that at least three returns for every penny spent!” The two items he chose weren’t expensive, but they were precisely what he wanted the most. [Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the quasi-pollutant cursed item, “A tattered training manual (worth 217 store coins).”] [A tattered training manual (no rating, 670 pages): An Axe knight’s training manual from a certain Royal school of the Hilgon world, which is only the first part of the manuscript (translated into Chinese).] In an instant, Lu Ping’an saw the sincerity of Mr. Knight’s reward. Was it expensive? When Lu Ping’an saw the full training manual (4 chapters) costing 1500 coins, he felt it wasn’t at all expensive. If you consider what’s included in the manual, which could bring significant improvements to Lu Ping’an, then the price is simply immeasurable. At least for Lu Ping’an, not even a single piece of a Silver-level Taboo item would make him trade this unrated booklet away. However, if it were just this booklet alone, Lu Ping’an wouldn’t be so delighted on the spot. [Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Bronze Lower-level Cursed Item, “A tattered Battle Axe design (worth 244 store coins)”] [A tattered Battle Axe design (Bronze Cursed Consumable Item, Ritual Key, from the Hilgon world): With the help of a craftsman, a certain specific ritual transformation can be made on the Battle Axe.] The explanation was as always overly simplistic, but Lu Ping’an had seen the design of the Battle Axe on the design just recently. Adding the explanation of it being “from the Hilgon world,” if Lu Ping’an didn’t know that this reward was prepared especially for him, he would be quite naive. “Not bad, not bad; I felt that the Battle Axe was quite uncomfortable to use.” He felt somewhat grateful in secret, glad that he had chosen option E. Otherwise, the Lord of the Secret Realm could only act according to the rules, and choosing option C’s random item would only get him one piece at most. Thus, Lu Ping’an happily headed for his appointment with a great harvest, surrounded by envious eyes that thought, “Heavenly Sniper European Dog.” And there, in a small pavilion not far away, Wang Hai was indeed waiting for him. As soon as they met, Wang Hai asked anxiously. “You said you can help me alleviate the curse, is it true? How much will you charge?” “It’s no big deal. If it works, I won’t charge you this time…” As he spoke, Lu Ping’an summoned the Magic Plants, the last Fusion Magic Plant, which was currently a non-combat Magic Plant. The entire stone pavilion was covered in blue flowers. “They’re called ‘Lu Ping’an’s Web-Weaving Plant.’ Aren’t they cute?”
