Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1027 The Two-Faced Businessman
The old man in the felt hat had a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Am I human, or a demon? Let me think..."

The old man in the felt hat thought for a moment and then gave his answer: "Before humans, I am human; before demons, I am demon."

"So you are a human now."

Bai Pu nodded and actually put away the Doomsday Spear.

The old man in the felt hat looked up at Bai Pu and asked, "You've come to me because you want to buy something?"

"That depends on what you sell here."

Bai Pu had already made a deduction: the old man in the felt hat in front of him was probably a "merchant," or a broker, who moved between the human and demon factions.

In a flash, a purchase list appeared in front of Bai Pu, and at the same time, time around Bai Pu temporarily froze.

[Demon Soul: A forging material that imbues equipment with a demon as a spirit, increasing the equipment's grade. This requires the target equipment to not already have a spirit. Purchase Requirement: 30 Demon Remains]

[Flesh and Blood Demon Heart: Food. Consuming this item increases total attributes by 60 points, randomly distributed. This item or similar items can only be used once during the low-level Evolver stage. Purchase Requirement: Demon Remains *100]

[Orb of Hatred: Only available in the Holy Demon: Hatred world, it transforms you into a demon. Purchase Requirement: 50 Demon Remains]

[Contaminated Fel Fountain: Beverage. Restores 4000 class energy over 20 seconds upon consumption. Warning: Frequent consumption may lead to aberration. Purchase Requirement: 10 Demon Remains]

【…】

In the list, Bai Pu could only see the first layer.

He quickly exited the purchase interface, and the time flow returned to normal.

"Is that all?" Bai Pu suppressed his surprise and asked calmly.

The old man in the felt hat chuckled and said, "There are even better and rarer things to come, for big clients. Once you and I have done business together more often and built a relationship of mutual trust, you'll naturally see them."

"You seem to have a lot of books here."

Where would Bai Pu find any demon remains? The remains of the few demons he killed had all been swallowed up by the Dark Gold Tower Shield. He wasn't willing to leave so easily, so he decided to chat a bit longer.

The old man in the felt hat didn't mind chatting: "I'm a learned businessman, and selling intelligence is also part of my business."

"Do you know about the Immortal Throne?" Bai Pu asked.

The old man in the felt hat looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"The Immortal Throne? What are you going to do in that godforsaken place? Don't you want to live anymore?"

“I’m just curious; I’ve heard of this place,” Bai Pu said.

The old man in the felt hat snorted: "You want to buy information about the Immortal Throne? One hundred human eyeballs."

"Human eyeball?"

Bai Pu was startled, his scalp tingling. "Aren't the things you need for your trade all demon remains? Why are you bringing human eyeballs into this again?"

"Because you are human, I am showing you a human sales order."

The old man in the felt hat seemed to sense Bai Pu's lack of money. "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, leave. Don't waste my time!"

"Can we exchange the information on the Immortal Throne for the remains of a demon?" Bai Pu asked.

The old man in the felt hat said impatiently, "Wait until you have enough demon remains!"

……

Bai Pu found the room where the two witches were and called them out in the team channel.

"It's so eerie outside, completely different from daytime."

Wu Qingyun was a little scared. She had violated the first rule of survival because she trusted Bai Pu.

Wu Mingyue asked, "Xiaobai, have you discovered anything?" "Yes, I met a merchant who travels between the human and demon factions. I want to buy some things from him, but I need to exchange them for a sufficient number of 'demon remains'."

Bai Pu slowly said, "Let's set off now to go outside the city... to grind monsters."

The last two words ignited Wu Qingyun's passion.

The three of them walked along the deserted street.

The city of Zatuq was deathly silent under the cover of night; even the gates looked different from those during the day.

It was withered and covered with cobwebs, as if it hadn't been opened for many years.

After leaving Zatuk City, the three looked at the open field ahead.

"As expected... nighttime is the best time to grind monsters."

In the open field ahead, several little imps suddenly appeared, hopping and skipping.

Further ahead, more red eyes could be vaguely seen. Groups of demons roamed the outskirts of Zatuk City.

Several lesser demons spotted Bai Pu and his companions, squawking as they pounced on them.

They were about half a person's height, with bloodshot eyes, and held weapons such as spiked wooden clubs.

Wu Qingyun sent over the information.

[Little Imp (Normal Level 11)]

[Race: Demon/Demon]

[Attributes: Strength 120, Agility 150, Stamina 100, Spirit 50]

[Skill: Charged Strike, Sulfur Scent, Backstep]

[Weaknesses: Holy damage, Water damage]

"Mingyue, give Qingyun a shield. Qingyun, go lure the monsters, and I'll take them all down in one go."

Both the great and small witches agreed.

A protective aura of reverse life appeared around Wu Qingyun. She lowered her body, gripped the Winged Tiger Blades, and swiftly ran towards the distant wilderness.

Before long, a large group of lesser demons followed behind Wu Qingyun, their squeaking and creaking so loud it made one's head spin.

Wu Qingyun has an exceptional talent for attracting monsters. Even though she's facing away, it's as if she has eyes in the back of her head; whenever a lesser demon tries to attack, she can always nimbly dodge it without slowing down her monster-attracting speed.

“I lured three groups of monsters, forty or fifty in total,” Wu Qingyun said.

"Alright, you can rest now. If possible, bring more next time."

Bai Pu opened his palms forward, unleashing the Four Symbols Domain - White Tiger True Meaning, and a white tiger totem lit up.

The fighting spirit transformed into a raging blue wave, sweeping outwards.

The group of lesser demons that attacked Wu Qingyun were enveloped by the battle aura domain, as if they were trapped in deep water. The gravity of the water pressure and the chaotic force of the water flow made them very uncomfortable, and their combat power was greatly weakened.

Specifically, this manifests as a significant reduction in attack accuracy, a significant reduction in evasion ability, and a corresponding reduction in movement speed.

For specific details, you can refer to the difficulty of movement in water for an average person.

The water-attribute damage from the White Tiger's True Intent Domain is particularly effective against these lesser demons. One of their main skills, "Sulfur Breath," is supposed to spew hellfire, but in their erratic state, they simply can't unleash it.

Wu Mingyue raised her hand, and the power of water quickly outlined a form. The True Water Transformation Spell conjured three sharks, which rushed into the little demon and devoured it.

With her 540 points of agility, Wu Qingyun moved like a phantom through the horde of lesser demons, her winged tiger blades generating a reverse vortex of power, frequently unleashing the [Vortex Strike] effect.

Without Bai Pu even lifting a finger, the fifty-odd lesser demons were quickly slaughtered.
