Chapter 94: The Water Behind It Is Indeed Very Deep

Though not one hundred percent certain, Su Nan guessed that the code names of the people in the mysterious wooden hut were likely related to their abilities in some way.

For instance, Night Owl, when he last came to see Su Nan, used a substitute that was an owl.

Rose traded either magic plant seeds or potions, suggesting she was skilled in magic plant cultivation and potion brewing.

As for Corpse, his abilities were likely related to the necromancy school.

His eagerness for the thorny wingless dragon’s bone骸 was a testament to this.

Su Nan was determined to give Corpse a taste of his own medicine, the guy who had been intentionally picking on him since the beginning of the gathering.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With him present, Corpse wouldn’t be able to trade for anything at this gathering.

Su Nan was confident in his ability to do this.

In terms of abundant resources, he believed that no one present could compare to him.

Of course, he didn’t trade the thorny wingless dragon’s bone骸 purely out of spite.

Thorny wingless dragons were a subspecies of sub-dragons, and their bones had benefits for Infiltrators, strengthening their bone density after refining and promoting bloodline concentration.

Putting away the bone, Su Nan suddenly asked Red Heart, “Do you have any dragon blood? Or perhaps the blood of a sub-dragon species?”

Red Heart was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, “I do have some.”

He flipped his wrist, and a clear glass bottle appeared in his palm, filled with bright red blood.

“This is the blood of a thorny wingless dragon.”

Su Nan’s eyes lit up.

Infiltrator’s bloodline concentration was already approaching 90%. If he could obtain this bottle of sub-dragon blood and refine it with the thorny wingless dragon bone, then perhaps he could directly advance Infiltrator’s bloodline to sub-dragon bloodline.

This was something he absolutely had to get his hands on!

Su Nan asked in a deep voice, “What do you want to trade for it?”

Unexpectedly, Red Heart shook his head, “I don’t plan to trade this bottle of blood for anything.”

Red Heart spread out his other palm, revealing a yellowish-brown eyeball.

“I found this by chance. It seems like a magic item, and it contains a concentrated amount of energy particles, but no matter how I try, I can’t activate the energy within.”

“If any of you can help me identify this object, I will give him this bottle of sub-dragon blood.”

Upon hearing Red Heart’s words, everyone present immediately displayed curious expressions.

Night Owl said, “Can I take a look?”

Red Heart directly handed the object to Night Owl.

Night Owl held the eyeball, carefully examining it back and forth. He even tried injecting spiritual power into it, but the eyeball remained unresponsive.

After a while, he sighed, shook his head, and returned the object.

“Sorry.”

Seeing that even Night Owl, who had extensive knowledge, couldn’t recognize the eyeball, Rose and Corpse quickly abandoned their attempts.

At this moment, Su Nan said, “Let me try.”

Red Heart looked at him, then handed the object over.

Corpse sneered, “Even Night Owl couldn’t figure it out, what are you pretending for?”

Su Nan ignored him and focused on examining the item in his hand.

Night Owl, Red Heart, and Rose didn’t say anything, but they didn’t believe that Su Nan could make sense of it either.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Su Nan quickly put the item down, smiling, “Not so coincidentally, I happen to recognize this thing.”

Everyone was taken aback.

Red Heart immediately reacted, saying with delight, “Really?”

Su Nan returned the item to him, speaking leisurely, “This is called the Rainbow Eye, the eye of the Rainbow Monster. It can emit a light similar to rainbow spirit radiance. You could call it a magic item, as it’s considered a natural magic item to some extent.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had never heard of the Rainbow Eye or the Rainbow Monster.

The Rainbow Spirit Radiance, however, was a second-ring spell that could cause the target that it shines on to fall into an illusion.

Though none of those present had mastered it, they had seen it in books.

“How do we know you’re not lying?” Corpse scoffed.

Su Nan glanced at Corpse, his gaze like that of someone looking at a clown, making Corpse incredibly annoyed.

Before Corpse could speak, Su Nan turned to Red Heart, saying calmly, “You can try soaking the Rainbow Eye in a mixture of dream flowers and animal blood. Five minutes should be enough.”

Night Owl said at the right moment, “I have some owl blood.”

Rose followed by taking out a light purple flower, “I have a dream flower as well.”

Seeing this, Red Heart no longer hesitated and immediately started trying.

Since he couldn’t use this thing now, he might as well try what Su Nan said.

The mixture of owl blood and dream flowers quickly submerged the eyeball. Everyone patiently waited five minutes. When Red Heart took the eyeball out of the mixture, its appearance had completely changed.

The original yellowish-brown color was gone, replaced by a rainbow-like iridescent glow.

Looking at the beautiful iridescent glow, the few sorcerer apprentices present all experienced a brief moment of bewilderment, followed by rapidly snapping back to their senses. They looked at Su Nan with stunned expressions.

It was actually true!

Exactly as he said!

Corpse was speechless. He didn’t expect the player to actually recognize this thing, and even knew how to activate it.

It was uncanny!

This guy was more knowledgeable than Night Owl?

Red Heart looked at the Rainbow Eye in his hand with a joyful expression. Coming back to his senses, he immediately handed the thorny wingless dragon blood to Su Nan.

“Thank you. As agreed, this bottle of sub-dragon blood is yours.”

Su Nan accepted it with a smile.

“Player, you truly are knowledgeable.” Rose said with a smile.

Night Owl nodded in agreement.

When he saw Su Nan immediately recognizing the trading house, he thought Su Nan had just happened to come across it in some book. But now it seemed that Su Nan was undeniably well-versed in many things.

It was hard to imagine someone who had only recently become a sorcerer apprentice knowing this much.

Coupled with the resources Su Nan possessed, Night Owl even began to wonder if there was another sorcerer apprentice organization behind Su Nan.

Corpse sat in silence, not saying a word.

A powerful wizard might not be knowledgeable, but a knowledgeable wizard usually wasn’t weak.

Knowledge is power, and that phrase wasn’t just a joke.

He had originally thought the player was just a newly promoted third-rank sorcerer apprentice. Even with the achievement of killing Herb, Corpse didn’t really take him seriously.

But now he found himself unable to see through the player.

After identifying the Rainbow Eye, Red Heart signaled that his trade was finished.

Night Owl looked at Corpse. Seeing him remain silent, he said with a smile, “Then it’s my turn.”

To Su Nan’s surprise, Night Owl brought out a batch of fist-sized eggs.

“These are red-eyed raven eggs.”

“Red-eyed ravens are fast, have incredible stamina, and have ultra-long-range and wide-area vision, making them suitable for patrolling and guarding.”

“I have forty-five red-eyed raven eggs here, and I’ll also include a cultivation manual for red-eyed ravens that I wrote myself. Does anyone want them?”

Red-eyed ravens!

Su Nan’s expression moved.

He knew about these magic creatures, and they were indeed perfect for patrolling and guarding his base.

Although his base had stone golems, their number was limited, and their movements were slow, making it difficult to cover the entire base.

If he had a group of red-eyed ravens working with the stone golems, his base’s security would be even more comprehensive.

His thoughts racing, Su Nan immediately said, “I’ll take them. What do you want to trade for?”

“Magic stones,” Night Owl said without hesitation, “Forty-five red-eyed raven eggs and the cultivation manual for ten magic stones.”

Su Nan shook his head, “Six.”

They were just eggs, not adult red-eyed ravens. He still had to hatch and cultivate them himself. These dozens of eggs weren’t worth ten magic stones.

“Eight.”

“Seven.”

Night Owl hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Deal.”

Another trade was completed.

Now only Su Nan and Corpse hadn’t brought out their items for exchange.

Seeing everyone’s gaze on him, Corpse twitched his lips and pointed to two miniature soul crystals on the table, “This is what I want to trade.”

Night Owl, Red Heart, and Rose remained silent.

They had already traded with Su Nan for the items they brought. The items they could still bring out weren’t as valuable as these two miniature soul crystals.

Seeing that Night Owl and the other three didn’t react, Corpse’s expression darkened. He glanced at Su Nan, who seemed to be smiling faintly, and angrily put the two miniature soul crystals away.

Night Owl coughed lightly and said to Su Nan, “Player, do you have anything you want to trade?”

“Of course.”

Su Nan smiled, his hand sweeping across the table, instantly adding more than ten magic stones.

This sight made Night Owl and the others gasp in astonishment.

They had already traded away more than ten magic stones earlier, and now he was taking out another dozen or so.

How many magic stones did the player have?

If it wasn’t impossible, they would have thought the player had a magic stone mine.

“I need wizard books, gems, and various rare metals. If you have any, you can bring them to me.”

Night Owl, Red Heart, and Rose were all energized.

If Su Nan needed something else, they might not have it, but they all had wizard books and gems, being sorcerer apprentices.

The key was that wizard books could be copied, and gems could be purchased with gold coins.

These two things weren’t particularly rare, and trading them for magic stones was incredibly beneficial!

Thus, the three of them all brought out various wizard books and gems.

Su Nan carefully selected them, removing those he already had. The rest he accepted without question.

As for the gems, he took them all.

To Su Nan’s surprise, Rose actually brought out over three hundred gems at once.

Although they were all low-grade gems, it was still extremely wealthy.

Remember that Herb only had a little over a hundred gems on him.

“This guy is either a noble from a major family or has a partnership with the royal family of some country.” Su Nan took a deep look at Rose.

Besides that, Red Heart and Night Owl also each brought out nearly a hundred gems.

To Su Nan’s delight, Red Heart happened to have three rare metals that were materials for the magic emblem core, which was what he lacked, so he immediately took them all without hesitation.

In the end, Su Nan acquired over three hundred wizard books, over five hundred gems, and three rare metals.

And all he paid was less than two hundred magic stones.

Night Owl and the other three felt it was extremely beneficial to trade wizard books and gems for precious magic stones.

Su Nan felt it was also very beneficial to use low-cost magic stones to exchange for wizard books and gems.

Both sides felt that this trade was worthwhile.

It was clearly a win-win situation!

The only one who wasn’t happy was Corpse, who sat alone in the corner.

From the start of the gathering until now, he hadn’t traded for a single item, all of them had been snatched by Su Nan.

He couldn’t bring himself to go to Su Nan and beg for mercy.

Throughout the entire gathering, he felt like an outsider.

Looking at the magic stones in Night Owl and the other three’s hands, Corpse felt a hint of regret. He wished he hadn’t provoked the player.

After the trade, Red Heart and Rose’s attitudes towards Su Nan became noticeably more enthusiastic.

After all, Su Nan had already proven how powerful his resources were.

Taking out over two hundred magic stones in one gathering, even the recognized richest member of the mysterious wooden hut, the Staff, couldn’t do that.

Having such a wealthy member join the mysterious wooden hut, they were naturally delighted.

This meant they would be able to trade for even more resources in the future.

The trade was finished, and the gathering ended.

Before leaving, Su Nan listed a list of rare metals, stating that as long as they could bring out the rare metals on the list, no matter how much, he would accept them all at the next gathering.

Red Heart and Rose agreed readily, starting to think about how they could collect more rare metals after they returned.

The wooden hut was quickly left with only Night Owl and Corpse.

Looking at Corpse, who was enveloped in gloom, Night Owl sighed, “Herb’s death was his own fault, it wasn’t the player’s fault. You shouldn’t have gone to bother the player.”

“You saw it yourself. The player’s resources are far deeper than we initially thought. Having him join is good for the mysterious wooden hut.”

“I’m giving you a piece of advice. If you want to trade for more resources, try to get along with the player as much as possible.”

Corpse remained silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “Don’t you want to know where the player got those magic stones? How could an ordinary sorcerer apprentice have hundreds of magic stones?”

“What difference does it make if you knew? You still want to take them from the player?”

Night Owl said with deep meaning.

“Don’t forget, the player was already able to kill Herb when he was just a second-rank sorcerer apprentice. Now that he’s been promoted to a third-rank sorcerer apprentice, he’ll only be stronger. Do you think you have a chance of beating him?”

Corpse’s words faltered, unable to retort.

“Let’s say that you could beat the player. How can you guarantee that you can get those magic stones? Who knows if those resources are the player’s or if he traded them from someone else?”

“If it’s the latter, we’d actually be cutting off a channel to trade for magic stones.”

“Since we can trade for magic stones from the player peacefully, why take risks and do something thankless?”

Corpse fell silent once more.

After a long time, he stood up and said, “I understand. Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything.”

With those words, Corpse instantly vanished.

Night Owl shook his head and looked at the spot where Su Nan had been sitting, a thoughtful look crossing his eyes.

Through his previous investigation, he thought he had a good understanding of Su Nan. But after interacting with him twice, Su Nan’s image had become even more enigmatic and elusive.

Now even he couldn’t fathom the depths of Su Nan.

“A twenty-year-old third-rank sorcerer apprentice, the water behind him is indeed very deep.”
