Chapter 439
In addition to fighting, the nightmare puppet didn’t have much other function, and there was no real-time voice translation function.
There were very few smart dialogue templates, though… But, It’s mostly “ah,” “oh,” “haha,” which was far inferior to artificial intelligence before the end of the world.
Tang Yu hopes to find more clues about the pre-Third Age puppets.
And now… he’s focusing on the equipment.
It’s better to have another ten or eight transcendent weapons. The top inheritance level of each cla.s.s was not very demanding, just having one for each cla.s.s is good. If you can get a full set of upgradeable equipment when you get the inheritance like Elaine, then It’s even better.
The nightmare puppet was fast, but the area that the nightmare puppet could detect was limited after all. Even if Tang Yu used the “b.u.mblebee Puppet” that he just got a few days ago, the range would only expand a little
Tang Yu immediately thought of the ma.s.ses of survivors.
Then the nightmare puppet descended from the sky and landed on this shabby gathering ground called “WildFire.”
The hunters around were speaking languages that the Nightmare puppet could not understand. Fortunately, Tang Yu possessed him… Tang Yu himself did not understand a word. Still, his thoughts immediately controlled the Nightmare puppet, spreading the enormous spiritual power, and used a little more to decipher the foreign language.
“Before the end of the world, if I could do this, why would it be a hindrance in listening every time I take CET-4 or CET-6.”
Seeing more and more hunters gathered, the treasures on the nightmare puppet’s shoulders spun, and the hunters who were still squeezing forward suddenly felt blocked by an invisible wall.
When Tang Yu saw that the time was almost right, he controlled the nightmare and slowly spoke, hoa.r.s.e and low voice.
“…… I am a wandering merchant who likes to collect strange things. As long as you can take them out, you can trade away anything from me.”
The palms under the nightmare puppet’s cloak stretched out. Magical equipment, guns, food, and other items appeared out of thin air, floating around.
“It’s 98k! It also comes with three hundred bullets!”
“Canned beef, canned fruit, oh my! How long has it been since I’ve seen these delicacies?!”
“It’s a full set of seasoning kits! With this, we can get rid of the days where we can only cook bland food!”
The hunters in the wildfire settlement were both excited and surprised. Tang Yu, however… was frustrated.
‘The focus of their attention is wrong, right?’
‘Rune swords, magical equipment, no one noticed.’
‘They only get excited from seeing canned food and…. Seasoning powder?’
The production of ordinary firearms has been discontinued now because he felt that these firearms had become obsolete. Tang Yu saw that the inventory was quite large, and there were still plenty of stock firearms and couldn’t sell them. That’s why the Nightmare puppet No.2 brought some.
Tang Yu just came here with new types of weapons, maybe…probably, the hunter here still didn’t understand what magic weapon was.
Some guns and food did not reflect the compelling character of the mysterious merchant.
The nightmare puppet waved his big hand again. In front of him, there was a battle-ax with flames, a long sword that braved the cold and condensed the surrounding air into frost, and a beautifully engraved pattern with golden brilliance in the most prestigious looking dagger.
Those items finally attracted the attention of these ignorant hunters.
Thankfully these flashy items didn’t need any demonstration to attract these hunters.
The nightmare puppet’s gaze swept away, and a low voice immediately reached everyone’s ears, “Then, is anyone planning to trade with me?”
The strongest person in the wildfire settlement seized the opportunity and took out the source crystals and strange objects in his sacks.
In the image of a mysterious merchant portrayed by Tang Yu, source crystals could be used to buy ordinary goods. But for the rarer and the more valuable items, he was only interested in trading them with another valuable material.
With a glance, the source crystal detector carried by a nightmare puppet immediately measured the energy value of the source crystal.
Up to ten thousand.
The leader of this settlement was only a level 5 awakener, not strong, but there was no large shelter nearby. No one knows how to use the source crystal-at best, slowly figure out the manufacturing method of the simple awakening device, the awakening device consumes very few source crystals. After several months of acc.u.mulation, the level 5 hunter has also become a big dog.
The nightmare puppet was expressionless and glanced at another sack with strange objects and saw the moiré stone, the iron, the black thunder iron, the red blood bronze…The weapon in his hand was polished slowly with moiré fine gold.
The gilded sword!
Used to make b-cla.s.s weapons and could make more than ten pieces!
The mysterious merchant was cold. The leader of the wildfire settlement was quite anxious at this time, not knowing how much the items in his hands were priced at the merchant’s place.
Then he heard:
“You… the things that you have… they are somewhat valuable.”
“The divine weapon is clearly out of the option, but with the knife in your hand, you can exchange it with another weapon… These source crystals can also buy some food from me.”
The nightmare puppet took out a c1-level war knife and two more d2-level ones.
The leader of the wildfire settlement tried it. Compared to his original war knife, it was multiple times sharper, although it certainly couldn’t be compared with the gilded sword covered with golden light.
The man then realized that in front of him was probably a person stronger than him.
The wildfire leader did not dare to refuse the nightmare puppet’s offer and pa.s.sed the two sacks in his hand and saw the mysterious merchant wave his hand. Then the two sacks suddenly disappeared.
…
Initially, Tang Yu only intended to give a D-3 level battle knife, which was enough for the level 5 hunter. But after careful consideration, he was the first customer after he went abroad and gave a c1 weapon for luck.
He felt that he was too kind, and he was simply a benchmark for merchants in the new century.
The transaction was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Under the nightmare cloak, there was still a face that no strangers could see. Behind it, Tang Yu was grinning ear to ear.
These areas abroad were like uncultivated maps in the game. You could pick up treasures after walking around. The total harvested tens of thousands of source crystals were successfully acquired. Some of the traded materials were advanced materials that even large shelters had difficulties getting. The most precious, it was difficult to buy these materials when trading with other large shelters.
The only pity was that the hunters in the wildfire settlement were still too weak, and their range of activities was limited. From their mouths, Tang Yu could not hear any news that would interest him.
He was just planning to leave and go to the next place.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the settlement entrance, and several hunters were beaten into the air. They rolled around on the ground a few times and pa.s.sed out.
A group of hunters wearing animal fur coats broke into the wildfire settlement and walked towards the nightmare puppet.
“Why are the people from the Honghe settlement here?!”
The leader of the wildfire was surprised. Honghe… was the most powerful settlement in their area. It was said that there were twelve warriors, and everyone was stronger than him.
Honghe doesn’t like small settlements like wildfire at all, and he doesn’t communicate with each other daily.
But today, he looked back at the mysterious merchant in the crowd and then saw the group of people in Honghe. Their faces were proud. The one who walked in the front had a much stronger aura than him. The wildfire leader was stunned. He could only watch as this group of people blasted away the people blocking the road and walked straight to the mysterious merchant.
“You are an interesting-looking merchant, excellent. Take out the best things you have.”
The nightmare puppet still had an expressionless appearance and said the exact words, “As long as you can take out the materials that I like, you can exchange anything from me.”
The hunter of the wildfire, with awe, looked at the people of Honghe.
This merchant came from nowhere and certainly did not look weak. Still, the famous Honghe settlement was the only residence in the surrounding area that could resist the demonic beasts instead of fleeing everywhere like them.
Yet the mysterious merchant didn’t feel any fear against them?
The leader of the Honghe settlement, the hunter warrior with the level 7 strength, laughed out loud.
He stared at the Nightmare puppet as if he wanted to see through the face under the hood.
“You, have you misunderstood something? We have never planned to trade. We just want you to hand over everything… Hahaha, with our strength, we can do whatever we want!”
The hunters’ faces in the surrounding wildfire settlement were gloomy, and some even fled secretly, worrying that the other party might slaughter the settlement.
At this time,
The mysterious merchant slowly raised his head, with a hint of surprise in his low voice, “Huh? If you have the strength, can you really do whatever you want?”
“In that case…”
The nightmare puppet’s sickle slowly lifted, and at the same time, he raised his head to look up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
Obviously, he’s a civilized person, but in many cases, he always tries to take some actions that convince people with reason.
In an instant,
The wind seemed to be still, and the mysterious merchant’s sickle had been raised above his head for some time. When everyone did not react, he swished and cut it down.
one second,
Two seconds pa.s.sed,
As if nothing happened, Honghe’s team leader mocked the nightmare puppet, his mouth opened slightly, and suddenly, it seemed that a gust of wind was blowing.
When the other hunter, who was only a fist away from him, turned into dust and dissipated in the wind…
Crack,
Crack.
The ground suddenly cracked, and the cracks continued to wind up in the distance.
The loud noise and violent vibrations arrived late.
The Honghe leader’s neck was so stiff that he couldn’t turn a corner, but he caught a glimpse of a crack at his feet that was hundreds of meters long… the mysterious merchant cut it out!
Among the hundreds of people of Honghe, apart from him, only a few people were not affected, and the bodies of the rest were no longer found.
Horrible!
The leader of the wildfire colony also quietly swallowed, but suddenly it appeared that the mysterious merchant’s knife seemed to have split the settlement in half… it was his settlement!
…..
It’s not that nightmare puppet missed. He was leaving the strongest in Honghe’s settlement just for questioning.
After a while, combined with the information presented by the hunters in the wildfire settlement, Tang Yu knows something about the Honghe settlement more than 100 kilometers away.
There were tens of thousands of survivors living in that settlement, and it had a city wall and opened up a planting area. Even if it was placed in the territory of the Daxia Kingdom, it was only a medium-sized shelter.
Tang Yu didn’t care about these things. He then asked for news that interested him. —Regarding the leader of the Honghe settlement, a powerful earth-type ability person.
That person was originally only level 6 or 7, although he still belonged to the category of ordinary people. After returning one day, he suddenly possessed the strength everyone looked up to and even awakened the incomparable earth element ability. In time, a city wall was built around the entire settlement.
It was considered a miracle.
Because of this, Honghe became the only settlement with the ability to defend against the demonic wave.
“The city wall was built overnight? This… seems to be the ability I had four months ago.”
Tang Yu flashed through some known treasures of heaven, material, and earth, feeling that neither the fruit of awakening nor the holy spring formed by the liquefaction of high-purity source gas could achieve such an effect.
It should be a rare material that he still didn’t know.
Maybe it was the discovery of a certain secret realm, a certain pre-Third Age relic.
After pinching the few remaining people in Honghe to death, Tang Yu took control of the nightmare puppet and set off for a settlement more than a hundred kilometers away.
In the end,
He tossed down a piece of paper towards the wildfire settlement, on which it was written in rune language:
[Mysterious Merchant Summoning Scroll]: When you have prepared a sufficient number of rare materials, you can use this scroll to meet and trade with the legendary mysterious merchant.
[Note: Please place the rare materials within ten meters of the summoning scroll before the summoning. The more materials there are, the higher the probability of successful summoning.]
The people in the wildfire settlement: “…”
