Chapter 31 Equivalent Exchange

"Then what should I do?" I asked Clark anxiously! I finally got such an exaggerated artifact set, but now it has become inexplicably unusable. Can you tell me if I can't be in a hurry!

"Remember I told you to go to Dragon Valley to find the dragon soul?"

"Remember!"

"This magic dragon suit is driven by the soul of the magic dragon, but we didn't inject the soul when we first repaired it, so it became what it is now! The weight of the armor without a soul becomes unbearable by humans. Got it!"

"Then can it return to normal as long as the soul is injected into it?" I asked excitedly when I saw a glimmer of hope.

"It should be! But there are some problems! First of all, you haven't found the Dragon Valley yet, haven't you? And then you can't seem to be able to inject soul, right? I'm just a blacksmith. It's no big deal to make a hole and insert a gem, but you want me to Injecting souls is too difficult!"

"then what do I do?"

"Of course we still need to find the dragon soul, but it will take a while, so there is no point in worrying now. We can go to the exchange to restore your magic dragon armor to use first, but you will definitely lose the level!"

"Exchange? The exchange you said at the beginning is the place where equipment can be used without repair?"

"right!"

“But isn’t the exchange selling things?”

"Yes, the exchange sells things, but the exchange here sells wishes. As long as the conditions are given, any wish can come true!"

I said with a guilty conscience: "Why does it sound more and more like I signed a contract with the devil to sell my soul?"

"Do you think your soul is valuable? The exchange requires experience points. Different experience points are required in exchange according to different conditions! If you just want the soulless armor to regain mobility for a short time, it should only drop two or three levels. nailed it!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly!"

At my urging, Clark took me to the exchange. The exchange was not far from the city gate, and I arrived in a short time. The huge building in front of me surprised me! Although the buildings in the Lost City are all tall and majestic, the building in front of me that looks like a papal palace in a Greek sanctuary still shocked me! On the front of the building are eighteen tall stone pillars that can only be embraced by two people. In the middle of the three-meter-high gate, a huge scale is carved with Yang characters (the protruding lines are called Yang characters, and the concave ones are Yin characters)!

We walked up the stairs leading to the main hall, and as soon as we reached the door, the door opened automatically. Unexpectedly, the inside was quite bright, without the usual dark style of the Lost City. When the door opened, dozens of pairs of eyes inside were all staring at me. Looking at them, I felt like I was disturbing their work, because some people were standing in the aisle holding a pile of documents and the like.

Clark stepped in front of me to break the ice. "This is my friend, he needs to trade something!"

Clark's voice was like throwing a boulder on the calm lake, and the entire exchange was in chaos in an instant. Everyone started running, everyone screaming as if the end of the world was coming. The originally bright and tidy hall suddenly turned into an early morning vegetable market!

A few minutes later, an old man with a long beard suddenly jumped onto a podium-like thing in the middle of the hall and shouted: "Stop all of you! The official document department immediately packed up the documents, the reception department prepared meals, and the trading department went to draw up plans. The planning and implementation departments are preparing to gather strength for me!"

As expected, the hall fell silent after he called him like this. In a blink of an eye, the hall returned to normal. Everyone lined up on both sides of the door and shouted in unison: "Welcome!"

I looked at Clark to see what was going on, but he didn't seem to have been here either! The old man in the center of the hall said: "Young man, come here quickly, I will receive you!"

Although the atmosphere here was weird, the old man seemed relatively normal, so I walked over carefully and asked, "Can you trade wishes with me?"

"Of course!" The old man smiled as if he was having fun. "That's what I do! Tell me your wish, and I'll evaluate the price. Then you can see if it's acceptable. If not, we can still discuss it. As long as you agree, we can trade."

"Is it that simple?" I didn't believe him! This guy is also very talkative!

I took out the magic dragon suit from the space wrist wheel and placed it in front of him. "This is my equipment!"

The old man just glanced at it and said: "Artifact? Lost your soul? Do you want us to help restore it?"

Sure enough, as people mature, they know everything at a glance! "That's right. What price do you want?"

"Wait a moment!" The old man's face was no longer as smiling as it was at the beginning. Now he looked very serious. He turned around and waved, and several people dressed as mages in robes ran next to him. They whispered together for a while and the mages ran away again. The old man turned around and continued to face me. "We discussed it and found that your situation is a bit special! Repairing the artifact was not a price you could afford, but now that it has been repaired and only the soul is missing, it is different!" After a pause, the old man suddenly turned into a smile. "I recommend you to buy our diamond membership card first. If you have a diamond membership card, you can enjoy a 50% discount. In addition...!" The old man took out another red crystal stone. “Using your membership card can also participate in the lottery for this top-notch fire diamond!”

I interrupted his sales pitch and pointed to the fire diamond in the middle of the armor's helmet: "I already have one!"

"That's okay! There's no harm in having more things!" The old man still refused to let me go: "You can introduce others after you have a diamond membership card. We will give you points every time you successfully introduce a member. If you have high points, you can exchange them for prizes. !”

Really unable to do anything because of the noise from the old man, he made a pause gesture. “How much does a diamond membership card cost?”

The old man held out five fingers.

"Five diamond coins?"

Lao You shook his head: "We don't want money! We just want experience points. If you drop 5 levels from your current level, we will give you a diamond membership card if you drop 5 levels!"

"Go to hell!" I couldn't help but explode. "If I lose level five, my magic pet will also lose it. You guys will definitely settle the score!"

"Do you have a magic pet?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Nonsense!" I interrupted him angrily. "I won't care if I don't have a magic pet!"

"You can't blame me, you didn't make it clear!" The old man explained: "We thought you didn't have your magic pet when you came in!"

"My magic pet is quite big, so it's not convenient in the city!"

"Then we can calculate the experience value of the magic pet separately. Our magic pet experience here also counts, but it is only one-tenth of your effect. In other words, you need 10 times the experience to buy a diamond membership card!"

"Is this okay?" I began to plan how to arrange it better. It is much more difficult to level up than a magic pet, so it is relatively faster to get a magic pet to level up. However, I have always relied on magic pets to conquer the world. If they all disappear, I will be finished. "I have 5 magic pets. I'll drop two levels myself, and let them help me divide the rest. How about that?"

The old man immediately said: "No problem! As long as there is no discrepancy in the quantity, it doesn't matter how you give me!" The old man immediately gave me a transparent crystal piece. "This is a diamond card. It cannot be lost, traded, or abandoned. Remember to show it when you have transactions in the future!"

I ignored the old man and looked at the level. Sure enough, I had gone down two levels, and there was still level 261 left! "What about my armor?"

"According to our calculations, you will need to drop 40 levels to completely restore it to normal state. If you are a diamond member, you will get the half-price level. If you agree, we will seal the deal immediately."

"No! I don't need to completely repair it, I just need to use it twice (if I have to change jobs first, I have to rush to the city once), just twice, and then I'll find a dragon soul to repair it myself!"

"Is that so?" The old man thought for a moment. "It's actually a disadvantage for you to do this, but since you need it urgently, there's nothing you can do! Every time you level 4, it's level 2 at half the price!"

I was about to agree when Clark ran up and grabbed me. "Just fix it. You level up quickly. If you don't care about this level, even if you find the dragon soul in the future, you may not be able to inject it. It's better to finish it all at once! Besides, you have many magic pets, just ask them to help share some of the burden. !”

After listening to Clark's words, I really think it makes sense. "Okay! Level up! Deduct 10 levels from me and divide the rest equally."

"Okay!" The old man smiled happily and hugged my armor and ran to the back. How could he move such an old and heavy thing!

I stood in the main hall and looked at my level of 251. Fortunately, they fell worse than me. I felt dizzy! From now on, the less time you come here, the less time it takes. If this continues, it will be okay. If I come here a few more times, I plan to be a newbie for the rest of my life!

"Alright! Alright!" The old man ran out holding the armor as before. "It's fixed, let's try it!"

I wiped away the unhappiness in my heart, and the excitement of repairing the armor was enough to offset everything. He quickly put on his armor and felt a strange feeling spread throughout his body. Clark and the old man both took a few steps back in fear. I looked at the mirror brought by the staff next to me, and finally understood why they backed away in fear. There was a black divine dragon condensed into black mist around my body. At first glance, I thought the little dragon girl had run out. But after a closer look, it was wrong. The little dragon girl was not that small and she was black. The 'color' Shenlong has a frightening evil aura that is very scary!
