Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After collecting the items in the Moon Girl's Treasure Chest, Lin Yi took out the [Epic Optional Treasure Chest] that was a hidden mission reward.

This treasure chest allows you to choose the type of equipment you need. Its greatest value lies in being able to choose the most suitable type of equipment based on the professional characteristics of the holder - for example, a fire mage can choose a top-quality staff that amplifies the power of fire.
Lin Yi took a look at the equipment he was wearing. He didn't need to think about clothes for the time being. The legendary suit could still be used to fight and could at least last until the peak of level six. It would be completely unnecessary to change it now.

The special equipment [Unicorn Feather] is powerful enough that there will be no problems even if it is used at a high level.

Not to mention the accessories, [The Mad King's Desire] has been bound to Lin Yi, and it won't be long before Lin Yi has to go to the Mad King's world again.

After looking around, Lin Yi actually hadn't thought about what equipment to choose.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi sent a message to Su Xiao, asking Su Xiao for help.

At this time, Su Xiao was arguing with Yin Luo. Since the last world, Yin Luo had been preparing for the [Grandmaster of Spearmanship] scroll in Su Xiao's hand.

Seeing the message sent by Lin Yi, Su Xiao made a gesture, indicating to wait a moment.

Yin Luo waved her hand to indicate that it was okay. She was so angry at Su Xiao's stubborn attitude that she was almost out of breath. She was ready to continue bargaining with Lin Yi slowly.

Su Xiao: "I suggest you give priority to the scabbard that is compatible with the Black and White Rose. Although your weapon has the ability to transform into two forms, the rarity of the exclusive scabbard far exceeds the weapon itself. Take me as an example. The scabbard I am using now was obtained from the treasure chest this time, and the last time I got a suitable scabbard was when I exchanged it with other contractors when I was at the first level."

Su Xiao sent a series of messages to Lin Yi. After reading them, Lin Yi's eyes lit up and he felt that Su Xiao's suggestions were indeed very reasonable.

[Black and White Rose] is his main weapon. Although it has the ability to switch between two forms, it has always lacked a suitable scabbard.

Ordinary scabbards are simply unable to carry the special properties of these two weapons, and may even affect the smoothness of switching.

If you can get a suitable scabbard through the [Epic Optional Treasure Box], it will not only improve the stability of the weapon, but may even unlock new abilities.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi no longer hesitated and directly opened the treasure chest.

[Ding! Please select the type of equipment you want——]

The system interface expanded, and countless equipment categories appeared before our eyes like a galaxy.

Lin Yi's eyes quickly swept across options such as armor and accessories, clicked on the [Weapon Accessories] category, and accurately locked onto the [Scabbard] column.

[The selection has been completed. The selected equipment type is: scabbard. ]

In an instant, a dazzling white light burst out, and with the blessing of the goddess of luck, Lin Yi's luck reached its peak at this moment.

[You opened an epic treasure chest. ]

[You have obtained the Soul Forging Oath (Epic Level).]

[Soul Forging Oath]

Place of Origin: Samsara Paradise

Quality: Epic
Category: Scabbard (Adaptive)

Durability: 150/150
Equipment requirements: Can only carry "Legendary" and above sword weapons.

Gemstone setting: No
Equipment Effect 1: Accumulated Soul Forging (Passive): When the long sword is sheathed, the scabbard will automatically accumulate "fighting will" and "soul energy", increasing the power of the next sword over time. Every hour, in the first 1 minutes of the next battle, the blade's lethality is increased by 10% (can be stacked).

After 10 hours: Enters the "overflowing" state, with a +10% damage in the first 100 minutes of the next battle, and an attached "soul-chopping" effect (causing an additional 10% soul damage when attacking).

After the battle, the charging progress will not be reset, but if the battle continues for more than 10 minutes, the bonus effect will decay over time.

Equipment Effect 2: Eternal Repair (Passive/Active): When the sword is sheathed, the sheath will slowly repair the damage to the sword. If the weapon is too damaged, you can consume "Soul Crystal" to speed up the repair.

Tip: Weapons whose durability has reached zero cannot be repaired.

Rating: 700 points

Introduction: The sword is a warrior's oath; the sheath is a guardian on the way home.

Price: 388000 Paradise Coins.

……

A very powerful scabbard, which can not only perfectly carry the dual-form energy of [Black and White Rose], but also has a unique "accumulating power" feature.

If the energy is fully charged before the final battle, the sharp edge of the sword will surely bring a fatal surprise to the BOSS when it is unsheathed.

What made Lin Yi even more satisfied was that the scabbard had its own [Eternal Repair] effect.

The inevitable minor wear and tear in battle can be slowly restored under the warmth of the scabbard, just like carrying a tireless swordsmith with you.

Although the natural repair speed is slow, the repair efficiency can be increased exponentially by simply investing soul crystals. This function just makes up for Lin Yi's shortcomings in a protracted war.

Lin Yi took a look at the gem column of [Soul Forged Oath] and found that there were a total of 9 inlay positions.

"We have to fill these vacancies as soon as possible..." He thought to himself and immediately sent a message to Gu Lao, asking for help in contacting the gem merchant.

Although Lin Yi had heard of the gem merchant, he had never come into contact with him.

Gem merchants only cooperate with contractors above level six. It is difficult for contractors at level five to get in touch with each other without connections.

Not long after the message was sent, an ancient reply popped up: "Oh, it looks like you've made a fortune. Don't worry, I'll help you contact the gem merchant."

Lin Yi: "It's troublesome."

Gu Gu: “Small things.”

After contacting Gu Lao, Lin Yi took out the epic treasure chest dropped by three gods.

Although the value of the treasure chest has been weakened due to special reasons, Lin Yi is still very confident in his current luck.

Rating: 684
Introduction: Light is both the wings of salvation... and the shackles of judgment.

Lin Yi looked at the [Basic Lightning Skill Scroll] in his hand and knew only one thing, that is, he was going to become rich.

The value of this [Basic Lightning Skill Scroll] even exceeds the total value of ten pieces of epic equipment!

Basic skill scrolls are valuable because they can fundamentally enhance the potential of professionals.

At low levels, everyone has limited resources and can only prioritize learning powerful skills, while basic skills are often directly ignored.

But when you really step into the advanced level, you will understand that the strength of the contractor has been foreshadowed at the very beginning.

Just like building a skyscraper, if the foundation is only three stories deep, no matter how magnificent the floors you pile up are, it will eventually collapse.

For example, for a fire mage, if the level of a basic skill like [Fireball] is too low, then the power of subsequent advanced skills like [Flamestorm] and [Pyroblast] will also be limited.

When you want to go back and improve your basic skills at a high level, you will find that the drop rate of low-level scrolls is too low and you cannot buy them without spending a lot of money.

As for [Dreamland] and [Spear of Holy Judgement], they are nothing but useless in Lin Yi's eyes.

[Spear of Judgment] looks like a big move, but it is actually a control skill.

[Dreamland] is suitable for mage-type contractors. After all, their attack skills and mental strength are closely related to elemental affinity. The higher these two attributes are, the stronger their attack power will be.

After casually putting the three items into the storage space, Lin Yi took out the last epic treasure chest.

[You have opened the Skill Scroll Treasure Box (Epic Level).]

The moment it was turned on, Lin Yi only felt a blinding white light flash by, and the goddess of luck suddenly felt that Lin Yi's fortunes had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and finally slid to a critical point before stopping falling.

This level of overdraft of fortune only means one thing, the item Lin Yi opened this time is so valuable that even fate has to pay an extra price.

[You obtain the 'Abyss Basic Scroll']

[Abyss Basic Scroll]

Type: Passive skill

Skill Effect: All Abyss Skill Damage +5%.

Mastering the prerequisite 1: Abyssal occupation. (Hunter has met the requirements)

Mastering prerequisite 2: Abyss resistance is greater than 1 point. (Hunter has met the requirement)

Rating: 30
Summary: The Abyss is not all chaos.

Lin Yi stared at the [Basic Scroll of the Abyss] in his hand, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

I was happy because Lin Yi opened the [Abyss Basic Scroll]. As a necessary foundation for Abyss professions, its value is self-evident.

The difficult part is the skills related to the Abyss, none of them are easy to use.

The staggering upgrade cost is like a bottomless pit. I don’t know how many resources it will take to fill it.

But now that the information has been revealed, Lin Yi can’t possibly not learn it.

Lin Yi sorted out his belongings and then headed directly to the [Fire-Chasing Moth].

If these high-quality equipment were sold through the Blue Chamber of Commerce, it would take too much time just to wait for the right buyer - after all, their network of contacts is mainly concentrated in the circle of contractors at level six and below.

After entering [Fire Moth], Lin Yi planned to ask for a private room this time.

"Oh, what a rare guest~" Alicia was surrounded by several high-level contractors who were asking for business advice. She winked at Lin Yi, then signaled with her eyes to Padufils who was tidying up the wine cabinet.

The cat-eared girl pricked up her ears in understanding and hopped over to Lin Yi in two or three steps.

"Boss, please come this way!" As Padufils led the way attentively, the golden cat's tail unconsciously formed an arc of joy.

As soon as the sandalwood door of the private room closed, she leaned in and lowered her voice: "Looking at your aura, have you got some good stuff recently?"

Lin Yi laughed and shook his head: "Indeed, I have made some small gains, but this time I came to discuss serious matters with Gu Lao."

"I know, I know~" Padufils pretended to cover her ears, but her tail honestly wrapped around the door handle, "I'll go prepare some refreshments right away!"

Before she finished her words, the orange figure had nimbly slipped through the crack of the door, and only the slightly swaying bead curtain proved that she had been there.

Not long after, Gu Lao pushed open the door and walked in.

After Gu Lao entered the room, Lin Yi immediately looked at him and asked, "Did he level up?"

Lin Yi felt the aura of an eighth-level on Gu Lao's body. Although Lin Yi himself was only a fifth-level, he had come into contact with many eighth- and ninth-level people during missions, so Lin Yi could still tell the difference between the two.

"I'm lucky. I found some ruthless people to help me with missions in the last world, so I managed to jump out of the seventh-level pit." Gu Lao had a very happy smile on his face at this moment. As a businessman-type contractor, it was not easy for him to gain a foothold at the seventh level. Now that he has broken through to the eighth level, it is indeed an unexpected surprise.

"Congratulations, Gu Lao."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. The jewel merchant will be here in an hour. He just sent me a message telling me that he is in the witch's shop and is trading with someone. He will be here soon."

While chatting, Lin Yi took out several equipment items with ordinary effects, such as [Embrace of the Lunar Eclipse], [Grip of the Wild Beast], and [Oath of Holy Light], and placed them on the table in front of him.

"Let me see. The special effects of the equipment are pretty good, especially the gloves. For some people who choose the technical route, it can be regarded as top-notch equipment, but the other equipment is just average."

Gu Lao took a look at the items in front of him and knew that what Lin Yi had taken out now were probably the more rubbish ones, and the good stuff probably had not been taken out yet.

"I can offer 70 soul coins for this glove [Wild Beast Grip], 25 soul coins for [Embrace of the Eclipse], 50 soul coins for [Holy Oath] which is a higher value accessory, 20 soul coins for [Dreamland], and 35 soul coins for [Spear of the Judgement]. What do you think of this price?"

Gu Lao counted the items on the table and then quoted a price.

Lin Yi estimated in his mind and found that except for the two epic potions [Embrace of the Lunar Eclipse] and [Dreamland] which were relatively low in price, the prices of other items were basically within his estimated range.

"can."

Gu Lao took out 180 soul coins and handed them to Lin Yi, and at the same time collected all the items in front of him.

At the moment when the two of them completed the transaction, the door of the private room where Lin Yi was was pushed open again.

A figure wrapped in thick cloth appeared in front of the two people. The other person was wrapped tightly, wearing a pair of goggles and carrying a wooden box on his back.

Gem merchants are an unnamed guild that only purchases or sells gems. Their members are collectively called gem merchants. Buying gems through other purchasing channels is too shady.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Doctor, I've kept you waiting for so long. As an apology, I'll give you a discount of 2 Soul Coins for the first gem you trade."

After the gem merchant came in, he apologized to Lin Yi. Don’t underestimate these two soul coins. Converted into Paradise Coins, it is equivalent to a direct discount of 2 on the other party. It can be said to be very affordable.

The jewel merchant skillfully untied the wooden box, and the moment the lid opened, the entire private room was flooded with colorful light.

There were eight rows of gems in the wooden box. The six rows of epic gems on the bottom layer sparkled brightly, and the two rows on the top were ? ? level gems. The total number of gems was over 50.

Lin Yi did not look at the epic gems below, but instead looked at the gems above first. Although he was unable to identify their levels, the exaggerated values ​​in the attribute column said it all. Any gem was equivalent to half a piece of epic equipment.

"Which gemstone do you like, Doctor?" The gem merchant smiled when he saw Lin Yi's gaze.

The most fearful thing in doing business is that the other party is not interested in your products. As long as the customer shows interest in your products, there is great potential for business.
