Scourge Messenger

Chapter 28 Bidding
Legendary keepsake!

It is a true legendary keepsake!

The legendary token that could only be grasped through storybooks and historical anecdotes suddenly appeared before their eyes!
Yao Shiyuan, Ying Rushi and even Shang Xinlei subconsciously wanted to stand up. If it weren't for the Thieves' House forcing their buttocks to stay pressed against the chairs, they would definitely be fighting now.

They didn't want to take it for themselves, they just wanted to admire this legendary weapon from a closer perspective!
For these messengers who grew up listening to all kinds of historical legends and know the keepsakes like the back of their hands, let alone touching the legendary keepsakes, just looking at them and smelling them can make them happy physically and mentally and prolong their lives!

"Such a powerful power..." Yao Shiyuan's voice trembled. "It's truly worthy of being the sword of Emperor Taizu of Zhou... It's actually a legendary keepsake..."

"Is this a legend?" Ying Ru murmured, "Even if it's only a first-level item, it's much more powerful than the third-level tokens I've seen."

"Black Wolf, you know you're wrong now!" Shang Xinlei suddenly said, "Yellow Dog just said he would reward a legendary token, but you still didn't believe it!"

It sounded like Shang Xinlei was standing up for Yan Qing, but Yao Shiyuan and Ying Rushi immediately realized - yes, Yan Qing was very sure that he would reward the legendary token just now, how did he know?
But Yan Qing was actually more surprised than them.

"You know so much about the Thieves' House, don't you know that they transform stolen items into legendary keepsakes?" Yan Qing asked, "Hasn't anyone successfully completed this mission before?"

Yao Shiyuan and others looked at each other in confusion.

"I only know that the House of Thieves can travel the world."

"Me too. Everyone speculates that if you control the Thieves' House, you can descend anywhere in the world, including the outer regions outside the Central Plains..."

"I've never heard of a thief's house successfully stealing anything..."

Yan Qing was also shocked. According to them, the Thieves' House had appeared many times, so many people knew all the details of the Thieves' House. However, after so many theft missions, no one had successfully completed it?
But he changed his mind and realized that this might be the truth.

After all, judging by their attitude towards the legendary token logistics, if the past thief missions were successful even once, then the information that "the Thieves' House can convert items into legendary tokens" would be impossible to conceal. The messengers would definitely not position the Thieves' House as a "functional secret realm that can be teleported to any place", but as a "resource secret realm that stably produces legendary tokens."

As for why Yan Qing knew why Bingzi Jiaolin was transformed into a legendary token...

Isn't this nonsense? This copy was designed by him!
This is why he limited the level range of this copy to between levels 10 and 39 - after players have established their foundation at level 40, they can easily obtain legendary tokens, so a copy that produces legendary tokens will not be very attractive to them.

But for low-level players from level 10 to 39, it is difficult for them to obtain legendary tokens through conventional means, except for the newly designed copy of Yanqing!
In order to increase its appeal, Yan Qing suggested in the design that the power entries of these low-level legendary tokens should be drawn from the T0 entry library, rather than the T2 entry library or the T1 entry library.

传奇词条库有三个级别，从低到高分别是T2、T1、T0，绝大多数传奇信物都是T2词条T1词条T0词条各一个，毕业传奇信物是两个T1词条一个T0词条，至于一个T1两个T0词条的传奇信物是不存在的，太难平衡强度了。

But the Legendaries produced by the Thieves' House are only good for one to three turns. No matter how powerful they are, they will become useless after the player reaches the fourth turn. So, why not give the Thieves' House Legendaries three T0 attributes? After all, the first three turns are just a transition period for players. A Legendary with three T0 attributes, no matter how powerful, is just a toy.

Fortunately, Yan Qing found that his suggestion was adopted.

Each effect of Bingzi Jiaolin can be used as the main attribute of an ordinary legendary token. 'Enfeoffment' can greatly enhance the combat power of teammates, 'Pillar of the State' can greatly enhance one's own combat power, and 'Overturning the Sky' is the most outrageous. Even in the T0 attribute library, it is at the ceiling level. It increases attack power, attack distance, and an unshakable dominance state. Although it can only last for one battle, it is enough to completely reverse the situation.

The trouble is, the scene he envisioned also appeared.

The greed on the faces of Black Wolf, White Fox and Red Snake could hardly be concealed. All of them looked at Bingzi Jiaolin eagerly. Yan Qing had no doubt that once they could touch Bingzi Jiaolin, they would immediately run back to their rooms, "log off" and return to reality, and never come to the Thieves' House again.

Commonly known as Mao equipment.

As the saying goes, once the sword of the Brotherhood is drawn, there are no more brothers.

This is why Yan Qing suggested designing the quest rewards so outrageous—only outrageous enough would it cause internal strife among the players. The core gameplay of this dungeon is to make players scheme against each other, backstab each other, and become jealous of each other. It is ostensibly PVE, but in reality it is PVP.

Yan Qing really thought that his design was genius.

It would be better if he didn't have to participate in this dungeon.

"I know some information about thieves' homes from other secret realms." Yan Qing perfunctorily answered them.

"Yellow Dog," Yao Shiyuan suddenly said, "You undoubtedly made the greatest contribution in this mission."

When Yan Qing heard this, he sighed inwardly.

People like Heilang are always arguing. When she thanks you, you know that nothing good is going to happen.

"But if you want to compete with me for the Bingzi pepper forest, I will definitely not hold back." Pharmacist Yuan glanced around and said, "The same goes for you."

Ying Rushi smiled, said nothing, and just silently grasped the hilt of the General's Sword.

Shang Xinlei seemed to be frightened by Yao Shiyuan and began to tremble. However, while trembling, she took out her weapon and flew in circles, looking both cowardly and fierce.

"Put down your weapons," Yan Qing said calmly, "You won't need them."

As if to echo Yan Qing's words, new words appeared on the screen of the Thieves' House:
Bingzijiaolin theft case

"Mission Difficulty: Very Easy"

"Task completion: A great effort (evaluation from low to high is not worth mentioning, beyond my ability, a great effort, extraordinary, and a great achievement)"

"Reward for completing the mission: 30 Thief Points." "Thief Points can be accumulated but can only be spent in the Thieves' House. They cannot be traded. Once you lose access to the Thieves' House, your Thief Points will be reset to zero."

At the same time, a line of numbers popped up in front of everyone, with 30 written on it, representing the current number of thief points everyone had.

Then the light screen continued to change, but this time everyone was different, and Yan Qing could only look at his own:
Yellow Dog's Mission Completion List

"Unveiling the Secrets of the Anguo Temple Underground Prison: 5 Points"

Save the innocent: 5 points

Burning of Ankokuji Temple: 10 o'clock

Milestone completion progress is as follows: Suspect 1/10, Demolition Team 1/1

"You gain an additional 20 thief points."

Yan Qing's thief points soared to 50. He glanced at the others and saw that Chi Snake had 30 points, indicating that she had no additional points. After all, she had not helped much in this mission except for fanning the flames.

White Fox is 33 points, probably because she provided the snakeskin rope;

Black Wolf's score was 40 points, obviously because Black Wolf killed four monks head-on, completing the only battle in the mission.

Everyone looked at their own and others' thief points, then looked at the Bingzi pepper forest in the middle of the stone table, and vaguely guessed something.

Click.

The glowing 'disc' on the ceiling of the Thieves' House suddenly opened, and three items fell out: a ring, a secret book, and a bottle of medicine.

"Based on the thieves' completion of their tasks, the Thieves' House will select three items from the treasury as additional rewards."

Storage Ring

"Grade: First level ordinary"

"Effect: You gain a quick access bar, allowing you to take items out of the storage ring at any time."

"Rating: Better than nothing."

/
Random Advanced Skills Entry Cheats

「Usage conditions: Must master any one basic skill」

"Effect: Allows you to instantly comprehend a higher level of a basic skill."

"Evaluation: The master brings you in, but the practice is up to you. If the master doesn't bring you in, you'll never understand it in your lifetime."

/
"Enlightenment Pill"

Quantity: One

"Effect: Increases comprehension by 30 points, lasting seven days."

"Review: You'll regret it after eating this."

Each of these three items had its own purpose. While the storage ring was of the lowest rank, even in-game storage tokens that provided quick access were rare, let alone in this world. Furthermore, unlike players who had system warehouses, people in this world lacked such convenient storage options. Therefore, a storage ring capable of storing key items was extremely valuable.

The advanced skills referred to in the introductory secrets of advanced skills are not common commodities such as Thunder Sword Skills, but genuine and valuable "Advanced Sword Skills" and "Advanced Footwork". In the future, many high-level tokens will require advanced skills to be used, so don't miss them if you see them.

The Enlightenment Pill is the simplest and most powerful. 30 points of enlightenment means a 30% experience bonus, and it lasts for seven days. If you are willing to work hard, the value of this pill is even higher than the previous two.

But no matter how good these three things are, they can never compare to the legendary token Bingzi Jiaolin!
"All rewards for this mission are as follows: Bingzi Pepper Forest, Storage Ring, Random Advanced Skills Introductory Manual, Enlightenment Pill."

"Now is the auction phase. You can bid for items using your thief points. The minimum bid is 5 points, and each bid increment must be at least 5 points. Thieves who have already bid on an item will have priority bidding in the next round."

"The first item is the Bingzi pepper forest. Please bid, thieves."

Ying Rushi's eyes flashed after reading the rules, and he immediately shouted: "Black Wolf——"

But before Black Wolf could open his mouth, Yan Qing spoke first:
"I'll bet 36!"

"Yellow Dog bids 36 points for Bingzi Jiaolin"

"No one here can offer more than 41 thief points. The Bingzi Jiaolin belongs to the Yellow Dog."

Under the gazes of the other three people who were almost spitting fire, Bingzi Jiaolin slowly floated in front of Yan Qing and was grasped by him!
Bingzi Jiaolin, get started!
