After leaving the parrot, Angor looked at Luigi.
"We got the music sheets. Do you want to keep looking around the stalls or head to the main station?"
Luigi thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look. I personally think that these two scores are alright, but they don't feel too different from 'Black Sheep Confession.' If they can't, I don't think 'Blood Purification' or 'Dark Alley Codex' are good enough for Uriel. "
To clear Uriel's dungeon, Luigi had to be prepared.
Even if he already bought two music sheets, he still needed to see if he could find more.
So, Luigi left the group again to look for more.
Just like before, Angor and Laplace wandered around the stalls area for a while. They also wanted to see if there were any suitable items.
While "strolling", Angor noticed that Laplace seemed to be a little absent-minded.
Sometimes, she would even let her mind wander.
"What's on your mind?" Angor finally asked after Laplace was done talking to him. "What's on your mind? Did Glaipnir send you a message? "
"Glaipnir hasn't replied yet. But … "Laplace paused as if she was thinking about how to phrase her words or whether she should continue.
After a while, Laplace slowly said, "I'm wondering if I can use Bloodbait for … fishing."
"???"
It took Angor a while to understand what Laplace was trying to say.
It turned out that when she was looking at the parrot's list of "tools", she saw a lot of alchemy tools. Not only were there tools for Tooling, but there were also some for Pharmaceutics. Among them, there was a potion called "Blood Alluring Powder".
It was a potion from the Vander Waals School. By mixing the blood of certain monsters with special effects, one could extract, transform, refine, and dry the blood to create a powder that could attract monsters.
Yes, the effect of the Blood Powder Decoy was to attract demons.
What kind of monsters it attracted depended on which blood was used to make the powder.
The blood powders that Laplace saw on the list attracted "sea slugs."
When she saw the word "ocean", a certain string in Laplace's body was moved. She subconsciously thought of the time when she was fishing on the Silver Coral Island.
If the Blood Lure Powder could attract certain marine creatures, then wouldn't she be able to catch a big fish easily if she used some when fishing?
That was what Laplace was thinking.
Angor's mind was filled with questions after hearing the whole story.
Bloodbait was a very popular item among wizards. It was an essential item for those who hunted for monster bloodlines. Even though it might attract powerful magical creatures and cause the user to be unable to escape in time, be heavily injured, or even die, this did not affect the strong market appeal of the Adepts, or more specifically, the Bloodline Adepts.
Because of this, the blood-inducing powder was often sold out before anyone could react to it.
Moreover, there weren't many alchemists who could refine Blood Lure Powder, which made it even more popular. Bloodbait Bloodbait in the market.
And Laplace was also thinking about the Blood Decoy, but not to hunt bloodlines. Was it purely for fishing? What would those Bloodline Adepts, who specialize in hunting bloodlines, think?
Also, have you forgotten that when you were fishing in the Dream Wilderness, the fishing boat was surrounded by fish, but they just didn't eat your bait?
Even if you attracted monsters from the sea, are you sure they'll eat your bait?
Of course, he couldn't tell Laplace about this directly. He thought about it and decided to change his words a little.
"Your idea is good," Angor said as he wanted to confirm Laplace's opinion.
"But there are some things you need to be careful about." Next, he used a gentle tone so that Laplace wouldn't think that he was trying to deny her idea.
"Bloodbait Bloodbait has a special property. It can attract certain types of monsters, but it's not always the case. What if it's a different type of monster?
"Of course, I'm not saying that those monsters are scary, but many of them are very large in size. Your fishing rod might not be able to handle them." Finally, he said his thoughts, but he still had to be tactful.
Laplace fell into deep thought again.
She nodded. "You're right. I need to upgrade my fishing rod."
Angor didn't know what to say. It's not the fishing rod's problem. It's your fishing skill! Do you know that poor students have a lot of stationery?
"Yes, I do need a new fishing rod. How about I make one for you?"
Laplace considered for a moment. "Don't worry about it. Maybe there's a fishing rod that can handle a large monster."
Seeing that Laplace was serious about buying a fishing rod, Angor hesitated for a while. "Even if the fishing rod can handle the monster, using Bloodbait Bloodbait as an external force isn't a good idea."
Laplace considered for a moment. "You're right. I can just jump into the sea and catch the monster. But the fishing rod doesn't count as an external force, right? "
"No, it doesn't."
Next, Angor's stroll was no longer aimless. He now had a specific goal: a fishing rod.
Laplace was still reluctant to admit her mistake. She only fished because she couldn't swallow her anger. As long as she caught a fish, she would stop fishing in the future. However, buying a fishing rod just to catch a fish? He didn't believe it.
Unfortunately, they didn't see anyone selling fishing rods even after half an hour of strolling.
This was normal. Most of the items sold in this gathering were the specialty products of different races. A tool like a fishing rod was hardly considered a specialty item. Besides, there weren't many places to fish in the Mirror Realm. The Mirror Sea might be called a "sea", but there were no fish in it.
Laplace wasn't too disappointed. The gathering was big, and she didn't see any brochures. Maybe there were related products in the brochures? Or maybe there were fishing rods in the main station?
They didn't find any fishing rods, but they did see a "fish".
It wasn't a real fish. It was a small shop owned by someone from Charlie's Palace, called the Bread House.
The "fish" was a kind of fish-shaped bread.
Of course, Laplace wasn't interested in fish-shaped bread. They stood in front of the Bread House and waited for Luigi.
Luigi had also walked through more than half of the stalls. After confirming that there were no other music scores, he sent a telepathic message, saying that he would go to the main station first to take a look at today's showcase. After that, he would go to the other stalls to see if there were any music scores.
They happened to be standing near the Bread House when Luigi sent the message, so they waited for Luigi.
Soon, Luigi came to them.
Luigi first expressed his regret and glanced at the Bread House nearby.
Laplace wasn't interested in the Bread House, but Luigi was very interested in it. However, he wasn't interested in the Bread House. Instead, he was interested in Angor.
When he saw the Bread House, he thought of the "Granny Coco's Secret Instrument Box" Angor bought.
Since Angor dared to buy it, it meant he had the skills to make it.
Luigi didn't want to try the desserts from the Bread House. Instead, he wanted to see Angor's "food".
Angor declined without hesitation.
For the sake of everyone's safety, he didn't want to show off his skills.
Still, Angor didn't want to admit that he wasn't good enough. "The Secret Instrument Box needs four elements to open. That's not enough for now. Let's talk about it later …"
Luigi wanted to say that Laplace alone could handle four elements.
But Angor insisted that at least four people should work together. This was his first time using the Secret Instrument Box, so he had to be careful.
In the end, Luigi didn't argue with Angor.
The matter of using the secret ritual box to make "delicacies" could be considered to have come to an end.
…
After leaving the Bread House, Angor and the others walked into the spacious crystal tunnel and headed to the main station.
On their way, Angor thought of the booklet. They didn't have the chance to check it out since they got it.
Since they had nothing else to do, they might as well check out the products of different races.
With that in mind, Angor opened the booklet.
On the first page, he saw the main product of the "Crystaleye Race".
[Mimic Crystal Shell: Can change its shape at will. ]
[Crystal Shell is now available for purchase. See the image below. ]
[Red Danmao: Pink Crystal Shell. Has decent fire resistance. 80 crystals per si. ]
[Green Spirit: Dark green Crystal Shell. Natural resistance against all ghosts and spirits. 130 crystals per element. ]
[Sapphire: … 180 crystals per element.]
[…]
[Jellyfish: Dark blue crystal shell. Extremely malleable. Extremely precise moldable. One unit costs 1,800 crystals. ]
[Wind Crystal: Green Crystal Shell. Can float and move quickly with the help of wind. Can transform into a flying vehicle. 2,900 crystals per element.] ]
[Rock Crystal Cluster: Flaxen Crystal Shell. Good defense. 5,000 crystals per element.] ]
"What does' per element 'mean?" Angor looked at the crystal shells with different colors and effects and asked curiously.
"It's the Crystaleye Race's unit of measurement. You have to measure the size of a crystal shell. But if you look at it, one element is about the size of a fist …"
"So expensive for the size of a fist?" Angor frowned. If Angor wanted to buy a Wind Crystal that could transform into a Gondola, it would cost at least a thousand fists. That was close to three million crystals!
Angor told Luigi his idea, but Luigi shook his head. "That's not how it works. Different crystal shells have different malleability. For example, a fist-sized Wind Crystal can transform into a disk with a diameter of one meter."
"Didn't we see Casata, the elder of the Crystal Eye Race in the circular castle, come out on a floating crystal seat? That seat was definitely not made of wind crystals. However, if wind crystals were used to construct a similar seat, it would only need seven or eight layers at most."
To put it simply, one couldn't just look at the size of a crystal shell. One had to pay more attention to its malleability and malleability.
For example, a "jellyfish" with both malleable and malleable crystal shell could be made into a large water bed with one or two elements. More than five elements could be used to create a pond.
Based on this ratio, a Wind Crystal could be used to make a Gondola in less than 50 elements, let alone a thousand elements.
Moreover, the Gondola could move as fast as a real one.
In other words, the crystal shells produced by the Crystal Eye Race were all semi-finished products. They could be used as soon as they were molded.
"But I didn't expect the Crystal Eye Race to put up defensive crystal shells for sale this time. This is their trump card." Luigi couldn't help but exclaim as he pointed at the picture of the "Rock Crystal Cluster" in the exhibition booklet.
There were many different kinds of crystal shells on the display booklet. However, the only ones that attracted the attention of the major races were defensive crystal shells. The defensive crystal shells of the Crystal Eye Race allowed them to withstand all kinds of attacks. Some of the elite crystal shells could even withstand the impact of the Eternal Mirror Ocean … Perhaps they could not withstand it for too long, but even if they could withstand it for a minute, it was already very powerful.
In the past, the Crystal Eye Race would also sell some crystal shells to the outside world. However, these shells were only for show. They were highly malleable, but their defensive capabilities were terrible.
But this time, even if the Crystal Eye Race only sold a "low-defensive" Rock Crystal Cluster, it was still a great achievement.
"Rock Crystal Clusters aren't useful to us, but they're a great choice for the weaker races." While speaking, Luigi pointed at the picture of a Rock Crystal Cluster.
As Luigi's finger touched the picture, it slowly turned into ripples. Next, a new line of text appeared on the display booklet.
[Waiting in line. Current queue number is 369. Average time per queue is 10 minutes. ]
[Approximate queue time is:??? (Not shown after 24 hours)]
Angor looked at the new line of text with a strange expression. "What's this?"
Luigi said, "Asking for crystal shells. Our queue is number 369."
"I can read," Angor said, "I mean, this is the communication system mentioned in the booklet?"
Luigi nodded. "Yes. If you want to buy something, just click on the picture and wait for the merchant to talk to you. Or you can just click 'Crystal Eye Race' at the top of this page. You'll be able to get in touch with them. But you'll need to have a certain level of clearance to contact the Crystal Eye Race. This display booklet doesn't have that kind of clearance right now. "
So, if he wanted to buy something, he had to click on the picture and wait in line with the others.
Angor didn't know what to say.
"I told you there are a lot of people asking for Rock Crystal Clusters. At this rate, we'll have to wait for two days." Luigi sighed and clicked on the picture again.
Several new lines of text appeared on the display booklet.
[Cancel queue? ]
[Yes, please click on the picture again. If you don't click on the picture, the queue will not be canceled after ten seconds. ]
[Merchant's Reminder: There will be more lines in the near future to optimize the current queue. Please wait patiently. ]
Looking at the new text, Angor finally understood what it meant to be in short supply.
At the same time, he also gained a better understanding of Pilucci's communication system. Peluxiu's idea of "online trading" was quite advanced. There were still some flaws, but it was much better than what Angor saw in Floating Mech City.
I can learn from this.
While Angor was thinking, Luigi quickly left the line and flipped through several pages until he came to the next page.
As expected, the second page was Pilucci's product.
Pilucci was the real supporter of this gathering, so it was a bit unfair for him to be ranked second. Usually, Pilucci's product would be ranked first. It couldn't be helped. After all, Pilucci had a bad reputation.
"Didn't Parrot say there's an Inventor Mouse for sale? Let's see how much it costs." Luigi quickly browsed through the display booklet while muttering to himself.
Angor also looked at the display booklet. He didn't look for the so-called Inventor Mouse. Instead, he looked at the first item, which was Pilucci's main product this time.
Eye of Thunder.
