Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xia finished speaking, he noticed that Lei Sen's gaze had begun to wander slightly, clearly he was already filtering through his thoughts.

After pondering for less than a few seconds, Leisen glanced at Li Xia and suddenly asked an unrelated question.

"Have you contacted any large guilds, sir? Like, those that buy back high-tier equipment at a premium?"

Li Xia frowned, and Lei Sen across from him hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Please don't misunderstand, sir. It's just that some items are only available for limited sale."

It's a kind of tacit understanding, after all, the lone wolves and the big guilds have a mutually beneficial relationship to some extent.

This is a small perk for everyone.

Leisen then spent a little more time explaining the relationship between the trading company and the guild.

As Lisa mentioned before, the equipment acquired by the major guilds will be inventoried regularly and then sold in a unified manner to recoup Hall Points.

The four major trading companies were responsible for the sale, and the four top guilds also had close ties with these top trading companies.

The two parties are not in a subordinate relationship, but rather in a relationship similar to a strategic partnership.

The top apostles who are given 'proof of friendship' by various guilds are one of the main sources of super-tier equipment.

Enjoying certain conveniences from the four major trading companies is a tacit understanding among the major guilds.

Ordinary apostles have no right to know these things; in the world of the palace, strength reigns supreme.

Li Xia thought about it and then confirmed it with Lisa again.

Lisa gave an affirmative answer, 'full of resentment'.

In fact, Lisa was well aware that an apostle like Li Xia couldn't possibly sell all his top-tier equipment to the guild; they needed to exchange it.

Even if only two or three out of ten items can be sold to a guild, it's still a profit for the guild.

The rest will basically be replaced, and that's why.

That's why there's a strategic relationship between guilds and trading companies.

'Resentment' is merely a means, not an end.

Lisa knew it, and so did Li Xia.

He pulled out his 'ironclad friendship' note, glanced at it, and readily ordered someone to bring him something.

With just one glance, Li Xia was unable to look away.

The essence of a Zanpakuto

[Quality: Purple]

【Origin: Death】

[Type: Special Category Item]

[Effect 1: Integrates with the weapon, bringing it to life and allowing it to resonate with the user's soul, transforming it into a soul-equipped weapon]

[Note: Soul equipment will be bound to the user's soul, creating a soul resonance, and the weapon's tier will remain consistent with the user's.]

[Effect 2: After merging with the essence of a Zanpakuto, it gains some of the characteristics of a Zanpakuto; it can be upgraded but cannot be Bankaied]

[Usage Restriction: Tier 3 and below, melee weapon equipment]

[Synopsis: This is Death's masterpiece, and also a resonance of souls.]

This thing... Li Xia's heart pounded a little, but this thing seemed to be more valuable than his own Devil Fruit, right?

"Can it be exchanged?"

Leisen shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not worth it, but it's not too far off either."

He sat up straight and explained earnestly:

"Since the guest is a friend of the Brotherhood of Steel, I won't hide it from him. This thing is useful, very useful, but there's one thing we can't overlook."

That is, upgradeable equipment isn't very popular.

Li Xia frowned. Why weren't growth-enhancing equipment popular?

"The price! While upgradeable equipment does have growth potential, it consumes too many resources, so much so that even top apostles sometimes find it a headache."

The resources required to upgrade a grade by one level are likely to be several times that of the same grade, and the requirements increase as the game progresses.

Leisen held up one finger:

"Most importantly, the attributes that appear after each growth are random and may conflict with your own attributes. Once there is a conflict, the equipment is basically useless."

Those who choose upgradeable equipment are basically melee masters who use cold weapons; for them, cold weapons that they have used for a long time are very convenient.

There's an even simpler method: buy a rubbing scroll and directly rub the newly replaced equipment onto it. This will restore the appearance and feel of the equipment to a nanometer level.

No wonder... In comparison, Devil Fruits offer an immediate and significant boost, along with numerous abilities such as physical transformation and environmental manipulation.

It's like having a system right away, and the upper limit is decent; it can be used up to the fifth or sixth order without any problems.

Leisen's point was quite valid; a top-tier trading company like this wouldn't bother concealing its flaws for the sake of a Devil Fruit.

"Your Highness... it can be changed. As for the attributes, there are ways to obtain them, but our current rank is too low to do so."

A howling sound echoed in my mind.

Li Xia suddenly looked up; this was the feeling of having a powerful backer!

"Change!"

——————————————————————————————————————

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 48 Fusion!

The rest was much simpler.

Leisen brought in an appraiser from Wanhui Trading Company for a detailed assessment.

Finally, the Devil Fruit is priced at 8.7 Hall Points, while the Essence of the Slashing Blade is offered at a discounted price of 10 points.

If it weren't for the various 'flaws' that Raison mentioned in the essence of the Zanpakuto.

This item is priceless and absolutely cannot be circulated; it has been snapped up by the major guilds.

"Guest, this is an item consigned by someone else. We'll also give you a discount on the handling fee, which will be only 8%, split between us, so it's 4000 points."

Leisen carefully explained the accounts to Li Xia, emphasizing that a handling fee would definitely be charged, as the guilds and merchants were not charities.

On the contrary, everything they do is driven by self-interest; the preferential treatment given to the Mavericks is for better returns.

On the contrary, smaller unions sometimes tend to be more personal.

"Including the handling fee, the total cost will be 1.7 Hall Points—"

Aowu, standing next to him, had already silently taken out a prepaid card and handed it over.

Li Xia waved his hand, pondered for a while, and then took something out of his personal space.

How much is this worth?

It was none other than the Black Arrow. As a first-tier light purple equipment, the Black Arrow was no longer of much use to him at the moment.

The Black Arrow's strength lies primarily in its high attack rank of 6 and its 40% instant-kill probability when piercing the heart.

But they are all first-order.

Under normal circumstances, piercing the heart is enough to kill the enemy, so instant death is not very useful, and the Hole Hole Wave can also make up for the lack of mid-range range.

Now Li Xia wants energy arrows to make up for the lack of range, as bows and arrows have a natural disadvantage compared to firearms in terms of range and speed.

However, energy arrows made of energy can overcome defects by ignoring factors such as wind resistance and gravity.

"Black Arrow?"

Leisen was taken aback. Black Arrow was actually quite famous in the lower-level world, but only at the level of large guilds.

This is because it belongs exclusively to the Freemasons of Light, one of the four top guilds.

They seem to have mastered a method for consistently producing black arrows, basically producing one every two or three joint trials.

Each tier of core members is equipped with a black arrow, which is more of a symbol.

This is not surprising, just as another second-tier guild, Nightingale, has mastered the method of producing Zanpakuto essences.

Every time the Bleach world ceases to function and the overall timeline is reset, they seem to obtain the essence of their Zanpakuto.

Normally, one will be produced every 3-5 world rounds.

These are all guild secrets and would never appear in any strategy guide.

Some people have discovered the process of obtaining top-tier items and tried to sell them for profit, but in the end, they either kept quiet or mysteriously disappeared.

However, this method of fixed output is only useful at lower levels, and it is always used in derivative worlds.

The guild wouldn't care how much profit the major guilds made through such methods, because those things were far too insignificant.

It's so insignificant, like the probiotics in your body secretly taking a few extra portions of short-chain fatty acids.

Lord, I don't care.

"The purchase price of Black Arrow is fixed at 1.5 yuan per arrow, so it doesn't matter where you sell it."

Leisen quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and spoke seriously.

This is actually the price offered by the Freemasons of Light. They buy Black Arrows indefinitely, as long as they have them.

This should actually be considered a premium.

Fixed buyback price?

Before Li Xia could ask a question, he saw Lei Sen calmly point to the essence of the Zanpakuto and then to the black arrow.

After a moment's thought, Li Xia quickly realized that he was an expert at creating strategies. What is a strategy?

A strategy is one that can be replicated step by step.

At this moment, he could even recall several steps taken when the hall judged the Black Arrow, and thus deduce which chain of quests led to obtaining the Black Arrow.

The apostles were not fools; they simply had neither the opportunity nor the time to try and explore.

For ordinary apostles, derivative worlds are a one-time game, with no chance to start over.

But if the major guild discovers clues, they can continue to explore with new members, trying little by little, until they finally connect all the links.

"Okay, that's settled then."

...................

After leaving Wanhui Trading Company, Li Xia went directly to his private room.

After reaching the second tier and receiving the benefits of a one-star executioner, the personal room has reached 500 square meters, making the original three-bedroom, one-living-room layout seem inappropriate.

So I spent 500 points to choose a template that looked good in the renovation section, and then spent another 100 points to buy a window view texture.

It looks exactly like the real thing; you can even see snowflakes drifting in when you open the window.

"Oh, Your Highness, you know what, this style is quite novel."

Awoo snuggles in its fluffy cushion; interior design is probably the thing that changes the fastest.

Looking at the decorations it had never seen before, it had already decided where it would sleep.

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the soft carpet, with Ye Ji lying across his lap, holding the essence of the Zanpakuto—a small ball of light—in his hand.

Hearing Aowu's words, he looked up and glanced around.

Honestly... this decoration and the snow falling outside make you feel calm and inexplicably comfortable.

He shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present.

"Aww, how do I solve the attribute problem?"

The dragon stretched its head out from the cushion: "Your Highness, you should fuse with it first and see what kind of growth weapon it will become."

There are many types of growth, such as the raw material devouring type, the weapon devouring type, the life devouring type, the energy devouring type, and so on.

The approach differs for each type. Generally, there shouldn't be a significant difference between soul equipment and soul resonance, unless the wrong items are fed to the wrong person.

That's right, let's see how it goes first.
