Main Text Volume Section 181 Valuation
"Selling alchemical weapons?" David looked at Angell in surprise, and whispered after a long while: "Is it the kind I think of?"
"The kind you think of? Which kind?" Angell was confused.
David took a deep breath: "You said you want to sell an alchemical weapon. Did you make it yourself?"
Angell nodded: "Yes."
David was choked by Angell's answer as if it was a matter of course.
"Have you already made a finished alchemical work?"
"Yeah. Didn't you make it? The technical content of the spiral aircraft is much higher than the weapon I made." Angell said.
"That's different. I studied... for five years."
Angell turned his head and smiled: "In fact, before I made alchemical weapons, I also dabbled in blacksmithing. I learned to make molds and so on, so I have experience, so it's easier to make weapons."
"Really?"
"Of course it's... true." No way. Looking at David's expression that seemed like he was about to cry, Angell decided to continue telling this white lie.
David heard Angel say this, and the sadness and jealousy in his heart calmed down a little.
"Alchemical weapons are still very different from ordinary weapons. Angel, you can make finished products so quickly. In addition to your rich experience, you must have a strong talent." David said.
"Let's go and see the sickle I made! Help me estimate the price." After Angel finished speaking, he walked to the basement first.
"Angel, you made a sickle? This kind of weapon is rare."
"Because I am most familiar with sickles. I used to weed and grow vegetables myself." This sentence is not a lie. The fruits and vegetables planted in Jon's yard were basically taken care of by Angel after he became inconvenient.
"Are you talking about the sickle for weeding? I thought it was a war sickle." David paused: "Although there are not many people using war sickles in the Savage Cave, there is still a certain market for war sickles. The sickle for weeding..."
"It doesn't matter. Whatever you can sell, it's fine. I can make money from 1 magic crystal." Angel didn't care about it.
This was David's first time in Angel's basement. The spacious basement was filled with various alchemical instruments. There were stains on the workbench, unfinished materials, and traces of metal smelting on the ground. The whole basement looked messy.
But David still looked at every inch of the place with envy. Every inch and every breath made him feel familiar and envious.
"From these alchemical traces, you have really embarked on the road of alchemy." David sighed, he also wanted an alchemy laboratory of his own.
"Are you flattering me?" Angel wiped the stains on the workbench quickly, and took out the sickle wrapped in cloth from the cabinet below.
When Angel turned around and was about to call David over for an appraisal, he found that David came to the weapon rack in the corner and looked at a series of Chinese-style weapons he had refined.
"These three weapons look simple, without any patterns, but the shapes alone are full of design and beauty." David asked, "Did you make this? Can I touch it?"
Angel made a "please" gesture.
"Is this a sword? What a unique sword. If it is designed like this, won't it break easily?" David tried to pick up the three-foot Qingfeng sword and scratched it against the touchstone in the corner, revealing a shallow mark. "It has reached the standard of a primary alchemical weapon. Although it has not yet entered the rank, it should be able to sell for a good price."
David took out the dual-wielded Emei thorns again. He waved them slightly, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This weapon is good. From the design to the power, it is very good, and it is light and easy to carry. For some female wizards, it is an excellent self-defense weapon. If this design is taken out, it will probably be sold quickly."
David finally picked up the unsheathed Tang sword. This weapon was his favorite at first sight. It had no unique patterns, but it was strangely full of awe and beauty. It was also very smooth to wield.
"This weapon should be able to sell for more than 10 magic crystals."
After testing the three Chinese-style weapons, David was obviously very satisfied: "If you sell these three weapons, you will earn back the original material costs."
David was very envious. The price of alchemical weapons has always been very high. Even those without special effects are very popular. Although the technical content of the things he refined is higher than Angel's weapons, they are not universal and the price is definitely not as high as these weapons.
"Are you going to sell these three weapons?" David asked.
"If I can sell them, of course I will sell them. But I don't have a sales channel." Angel looked at David.
David patted his chest and said: "Put them in Prome Alchemy Shop, I can help you sell them."
"Is this okay?"
"No problem, I will help you sell them, and you can give me 10% of the share. This is the rule set by Master Prome."
10% share is actually a lot, but if he takes these weapons out to sell them himself, he may not be able to sell them. The sales channel is very important. So Angel nodded: "Okay, you can sell them together with the sickle for me later."
David thought the quality of the sickle was similar to the three weapons, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
But when he saw the sickle reflecting the bright light, he suddenly felt that he was tricked by Angel again.
"You said you learned blacksmithing, so you are good at refining weapons."
"That's about what you mean."
"Then tell me, which blacksmith still teaches how to draw magic patterns? Can a blacksmith hand over such a perfect sharp magic pattern?!"
David felt terrible. He thought that the weapon that Angel asked him to appraise was a primary alchemical weapon. As long as he learned the hot melting method and added a little blacksmith experience, it would be no problem to cast a primary alchemical weapon.
But this sickle is not a primary alchemical weapon! The sharp magic pattern is clearly placed on the blade, which means that it has at least entered the level! Although it is still the lowest level among alchemical weapons, it has also entered the level! Alchemical weapons with grades are at least 100 magic crystals or more!
David took a deep breath: "I warn you, don't tell me that you are also very talented in magic patterns."
Angel recalled the "shocked" look David showed when he said he had a good talent for alchemy last time. He carefully considered the wording and tentatively said: "Maybe my memory is good?"
David looked at Angel deeply and sighed: "I was hit by you last time. I thought my tolerance had improved, but I was wrong."
David held the sickle, activated the sharp magic pattern with magic power, and then chopped it down at the touchstone in the corner.
Seeing the touchstone with a big gap, David turned his head and said: "I feel like a loser now."
Angel: "..."
David spent half an hour expressing his deep dissatisfaction, and finally returned to normal.
"This sickle has been upgraded. Although it is only the lowest level, it is enough to sell for more than 100 magic crystals. If there is an emergency, it can be even higher." David said.
"Emergency?"
"For example, when you need weapons urgently when you are going out to explore the ruins. Or when you are in a life-and-death duel with someone, and death is the end of everything, then you will spend a lot of money to buy them."
Angel thought for a while, "So there is such a saying... How about this, can you help me sell these weapons in a month and a half?"
"A month and a half later? Is this time very special?"
"It is quite special, you will know when the time comes."
After negotiating the price, the two came to Prometheus Alchemy Shop again. Angel spent 17 magic crystals to buy a new batch of materials. When saying goodbye to David, David suddenly took out something and asked:
"Is this thing yours?"
Angel looked at the golden arrow in David's hand and raised his eyebrows: "Yes, did you pick it up from the forest?"
"It was not picked up by me, but by Master Prometheus." David paused: "Master Prometheus is very interested in your long-range alchemical weapon. Can I see it?"
Angel pulled open his sleeves to reveal the mechanical wrist crossbow on his wrist.
"Is this mechanical alchemy?"
"I guess so."
David looked at the mechanical wrist crossbow carefully. It was very delicately made, but there was no magic pattern engraved on the mechanism.
"Although it has not yet entered the level, this delicate design alone is also amazing. And the lethality is also very strong. Even without the magic pattern, it can break most of the defensive spells by number." David praised.
What David didn't know was that it was not that there was no magic pattern, but that the magic pattern was engraved on the golden arrow by Angel.
"By the way, who made this ingeniously conceived alchemical weapon?" David asked subconsciously.
He raised his head and looked at Angel. When Angel was about to answer, David stopped him and said, "Don't say it. I have suffered enough today."
...
On the third day of Angel's tower climbing, he climbed to the second floor of the Sky Tower.
There is a special cableway for contestants to go to the second floor. The cableways are distributed in various areas of the underground market. Being able to board the cableway carriage is also a symbol of status here.
Non-contestants who want to watch the game can only go to the second floor by buying tickets.
Those who have money to buy tickets go to the top of the tower to watch the game, so how can they come to the second floor? Ordinary people without money can only feast their eyes on the first floor. So compared with the excitement on the first floor, the atmosphere on the second floor of the Sky Tower is much quieter. The first opponent that Angel fought against was watched by only three or two bored contestants.
The contestants on the second floor are much stronger than those on the first floor. But Angel still did not encounter too much difficulty with his rogue mechanical wrist crossbow.
The only time it was a little difficult was when he faced a junior wizard apprentice nicknamed "Lord of Darna". He was good at wind and snow, and the violent hurricane caused the golden arrows to deviate slightly after being shot out, so Angel could hardly shake Lord of Darna with just one or two golden arrows. In the end, Angel used a large number of golden arrows and indiscriminate attacks to force Lord of Darna to surrender.
After defeating Lord of Darna, Angel's reputation on the second floor spread like wildfire.
With victory all the way, Angel accumulated 40 points in just three days and successfully stepped onto the third floor of the Sky Tower.
Angel paid attention to the contestant area on the third floor and did not see any second-level wizard apprentices. He thought he could still easily sweep the field, but he encountered trouble in the preliminary round on the third floor of the Sky Tower.
