My monster cards can evolve infinitely.

"Forged Steel Hammer," one of the largest blacksmith shops in Summertown.

This blacksmith shop offers the widest variety and style of weapons and equipment in town, and there's another important reason why it's so popular with adventurers.

We sell and buy second-hand weapons and equipment, regardless of their origin, only focusing on their quality.

While talking with the scribe Erwin in the carriage, Shuki asked about the sale of second-hand equipment and recommendations for purchasing weapons.

The enthusiastic clerk recommended the restaurant to him;

"This shop has the widest variety of weapons and equipment in Summertown; feel free to choose."

"Boss Barr is a good guy, just... a bit of a nag!"

At this moment, Xiu Qi was standing at the entrance of "Forged Steel Hammer", holding three old cloth armors, a large axe and a longbow in his hands, with the longsword hanging at his waist.

Beside him, the "princess" held a thick wooden club and a bandit's dagger. She was also wearing the leather armor of the bandit leader, and because of her short stature, the hem of the leather armor was in close contact with the ground.

A large, dark oak door reinforced with heavy iron bars stood open in front of them, with a life-sized, giant black iron warhammer hanging above the lintel as a sign.

The large, open window beside the door served as a stage for the shop, displaying several exquisite samples: a longsword with cloud-like patterns on its blade, and a set of chainmail shimmering with blue light. The stone windowsill was polished smooth as a mirror, as if countless customers and travelers had paused here to touch it.

Soon Xiuqi met Baal, the owner of "Forged Steel Hammer".

To put it bluntly, he was like a small mountain forged from muscles and steel. His height was no more than the chest of an average person, but the width and thickness of his shoulders were enough to command the respect of even the strongest warriors.

Just as the scribe Erwin had described, the dwarf Baal was enthusiastic and talkative.

The moment he saw Xiuqi approaching, he jumped off his chair and rushed over to greet him.

"Welcome to our store, distinguished guests who have traveled from afar!"

"You've come at the perfect time! If you'd been any later, I would have closed the shop and gone home to drink two huge kegs of ale!"

"..."

After the dwarf Baal had been rambling on for a while, he finally remembered the important matter. He glanced at Xiuqi, who was holding several pieces of equipment, and began to ask:

"Sir, are you looking to purchase weapons or equipment?"

"Or perhaps selling weapons or equipment?"

Xiuqi piled everything he was holding, hanging, and even the "princess's" equipment (except for the big stick) onto the table, making no attempt to conceal his intentions:

"I want to sell this equipment first, and then see if there's a longsword that suits me!"

"Let's get an estimate for these pieces of equipment."

The table was piled high with the spoils he had won for his heroic act, laid out one by one.

Baal approached the table, picked up the leather armor, and carefully stroked it with his hand, as if it were the delicate skin of a lover.

"This leather armor is in good condition, with no scratches or damage. It's of good quality! I can offer 1 gold and 5 silver."

"The three pieces of cloth armor are too worn out and have many patches. The price should not exceed 5 silver per piece."

The leather armor costs 1 gold and 5 silver, which is almost half the market price, a fair price for a piece of equipment that is still in relatively good condition.

The cloth armor only costs 5 silver, which is only 20% of the market price. However, considering its pitiful appearance and the patches that look like weeds, the price is acceptable.

Seeing that Xiuqi nodded, the dwarf Baal continued to examine the other weapons.

"A fine longbow, I really like it. I'll give you a fair price; with the arrows, it'll be worth 7 gold coins!"

"This sword is of decent quality, but it has some wear and tear. It will need to be re-polished before it can be put on the market. I can offer 1 gold and 14 silver."

"This axe and dagger are junk and need to be melted down and reforged. They're worth at most 10 silver coins."

"All the equipment costs 10 gold and 14 silver in total. For guests who have come from afar, you can go to other shops to compare and see if my price is fair."

Baal put down the rusty dagger in his hand and looked at Xiuqi with a smile;

"Everyone in town knows that my shop, Bal Steelhammer, always offers the fairest prices!"

The selling price was basically within Xiuqi's expectations.

A few pieces of equipment that look decent are probably worth about 50% of the market price, since secondhand weapons don't sell for much anyway.

Ten gold and fourteen silver medals may not seem like much, but they represent the fruits of an ordinary person's hard work for a year.

No wonder adventurers are a popular profession, because danger and fortune are always intertwined, and you never know which will come first.

他的钱袋里还躺着12金8银，售卖后修奇的总资产将突破20金，达到23金2银的资产新高。

Of course, there's also a credit statement for 97 gold coins, and royalties for the [Basic Deflection Field].

However, this did not affect his good mood at the moment.

He consulted the dwarf:

"Mr. Baal, I would like to choose a knight's longsword!"

"I want the best one!"

"Of course, come with me!"

After passing through the wooden door, Xiuqi followed the dwarf into the room inside.

Compared to the goods on the outer shelves, the weapons and equipment inside were clearly a grade higher in appearance.

The dwarf tiptoed and took a jet-black longsword from the top shelf, carefully handing it to Xiuqi.

Xiu Qi took the longsword with both hands, held it in his hands, and began to stare at the blade.

One second, two seconds...

......

"good!"

"Green and high-quality!"

Xiuqi was very satisfied. The quality of this longsword was much better than that of the bandit leader. He never expected that this dwarf blacksmith was actually a master forger.

However, he didn't make a decision immediately, since he understood the importance of comparing prices from different vendors.

Xiu Qi paced back and forth in the not-so-large room, his gaze quickly sweeping over every longsword on the shelf.

Since awakening the [Monster Card Maker System], he has possessed the ability to see through the essence of items and equipment.

Suddenly, his piercing gaze froze.

On a high shelf in the corner, a long sword with an ancient design seemed to have a cold, gleaming light surrounding its blade in the shadows.

Without hesitation, Xiuqi reached out and took the longsword.
