Mystery: Starting from the Shadow World

Chapter 56 Silver White

Soon, someone asked in a low voice:

"What about the negative effects?"

Upon hearing this, the man holding the ring tensed instinctively, then relaxed and said helplessly:

"Once the wearer puts on this ring and uses its power once, it will remain on their finger for up to an hour. If both uses are used up, it will last for six hours."

"During the wearing process, the wearer will transform into a woman in the true sense, and the ring will also exert a subtle influence, making the wearer feel like a woman."

"During this period, you must resist it. If you accept this idea, you will completely transform into a woman and become prone to losing control and going crazy."

After these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent. The two men who had been stroking their chins, seemingly deep in thought, immediately abandoned their idea and made no further move.

Losing control easily is a taboo for men. Losing control and going crazy are even more taboo for wild extraordinary individuals, making it impossible to even entertain such thoughts. There are plenty of useful extraordinary items out there.

The man gritted his teeth, finally sighed, and was about to sit back down in his chair when a deliberately lowered voice, yet still retaining traces of childishness, reached his ears:

"price."

The man's eyes lit up with excitement. He looked toward the corner and quickly said, "Yes, 720 pounds, only 720 pounds."

It was Philip who spoke. After hearing the man mention the ring's side effects, he initially felt a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly realized that this was his chance!

After all, if the Rose School only knew his approximate location as he expected, then transforming from male to female would undoubtedly be the most useful way to hide, apart from the rumored ability to transform into someone else's appearance.

As for side effects...

Philip bought it for this reason. Without this side effect, he really wouldn't have wanted to buy this extraordinary item. After selling off his assets, he would undoubtedly find a better option.

After all, this broken ring can only conceal the invisibility ability of low-sequence extraordinary individuals and can only block the magic mirror substitute ability that causes one-time damage. Once he reaches the level of "werewolf," it will seem somewhat useless in the face of that powerful self-healing and combat ability.

Philip stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then, to be on the safe side, continued, "Have you tried to see how long you can maintain the ring? Also, if you can't use your abilities after putting on the ring, can you put it back on after taking it off? Will there be any consequences?"

"Well, I've tried it, and it only lasts for three hours. Okay, actually that's just my estimate after two hours and two minutes when I didn't want to continue anymore, but after taking it off, I can probably get rid of the effects and put it back on after resting for a few minutes."

"If you haven't worn it for long, it may only take ten seconds or so to fully recover and put it back on."

Two or three hours is a bit short, but it's manageable. After all, the cooling-off period is even shorter, so spending a little more time in the restroom is reasonable. Philip didn't waste any more time and nodded directly, "Hmm, 700 pounds, deal if it's acceptable."

Upon hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly handed the ring to the waiter who was standing next to the old gentleman on the single sofa and was now gradually moving closer.

The waiter presented the ring to the old man, the organizer of this gathering of extraordinary people, the "Eye of Wisdom."

The other person took the ring, examined it carefully in their hand for a good ten seconds, and then nodded and said, "No problem."

Upon hearing this, Philip readily took out a large wad of £10 bills from his wallet, handed them to the man, and received the ring he had bought because of its side effects.

He didn't know what the "Eye of Wisdom" himself possessed, but through the other's early gatherings, it was proven that no extraordinary item of the low or mid-series could escape the other's eyes.

Speaking of which, it would be rather embarrassing for such an extraordinary item not to have a name. Philip stroked the silver-white ring, pondered for a moment, and then gave it a simple and easy-to-remember name—

"Silver-white".

As the first transaction was completed, the atmosphere at the party gradually warmed up, and there were offers and offers for extraordinary items and weapons. However, Philip no longer had enough money to buy them and could only watch from the sidelines.

When the party paused for a moment, he thought for a moment and then said, "I'm selling potion recipes: Sequence 9 'Singer' from the Church of the Eternal Sun and Sequence 9 'Warrior' from the Church of the God of War, both for 220 pounds."

Sequence 9 potion recipe.

A brief silence fell over the room as everyone contemplated whether they needed the item. After all, they were already extraordinary beings, and unless there was a better way to resell it or provide a better option for their descendants, no one would buy it.

Just as Philip thought he would have to wait until the next gathering to ask, a man sitting in the corner opposite him, who was completely covered by a robe, asked in a hoarse voice, half-asleep and half-doubtful:

What abilities will one gain after consuming the "Warrior" potion?

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Seemingly optimistic, Philip pondered for a moment, then said confidently, "Strength and intelligence beyond that of ordinary people, mastery of all fighting techniques, and proficiency in the use of all weapons and armor."

Of all the Sequence 9 paths, while no one can guarantee that "Warrior" is the best and strongest, it is undeniable that it can at least compete for a top-three spot.

Upon hearing this, and seeing that neither "Eye of Wisdom" nor the others at the gathering objected, the man nodded. "210 pounds. Deal if you agree."

"Alright, if you want to resell it in the future, you can't do it at this party." After saying that, Philip took out the formula he had prepared from his pocket, confirmed that it was the formula for the "Warrior" potion, and handed it to the waiter who came forward.

After receiving the recipe, the old man with the "Eye of Wisdom" took out a ring from his pocket and put it on. Then he closed his eyes, and after a dozen seconds of concentration, the moment the emerald on the ring shone with golden light, he touched the recipe on the table with it.

A golden light emanated from the silver ring. The golden light gradually transformed into a seal-like pattern and faded away. The old man immediately removed the ring and then said in a deep voice, "Authentic, effective!"

This is the "notary" ability that comes from the use of extraordinary items. It originates from the Sequence 6 "Notary" of the "Singer" pathway and can verify the authenticity of extraordinary knowledge. Without this ability, one is not qualified to organize extraordinary gatherings.

Unfortunately, I can't get it. This is an extraordinary item of Sequence 6, and it would cost at least several thousand pounds to acquire. As Philip thought this, he put 210 pounds in cash into his pocket to make up for some of the expenses he had just incurred.
