Chapter 399 Treasure Appraisal Conference Admission Tickets: Rare and Precious Materials Reappear!
These mutated skeleton warriors will secretly accumulate power, waiting for the right moment to challenge the skeleton lord and seize control of the Corpse Hills.
Or hide forever and never be discovered.
However, once they are discovered by the skeleton horde under the Skeleton Lord Mo, a war will break out.
These hidden, mutated skeleton warriors often instigate large-scale conflicts.
Because their existence poses a threat to the Skeleton Lords' rule.
Unless they have the strength to fight against the Skeleton Lord, they will still face the fate of being devoured by the Skeleton Lord.
This brutal competitive mechanism makes the evolutionary path of the skeleton race exceptionally difficult.
Over the long course of time, in this region, only the eight great lords, the eight skeleton commanders, survived on the path of the skeleton race's evolution.
In the memory of this skeleton commander who had just been killed by the Ark—
The mutated skeleton warriors are mostly stationed in the skeleton lord's habitat—the Bone Castle!
"So that means—"
"The difficulty of challenging the Skeleton Lord seems to be easier than I imagined."
Fangzhou meticulously processed the information he had obtained from the Skeleton Commander, the soul fire in his eye sockets flickering slightly as his thoughts gradually became clearer.
Bone Castle is not only the habitat of the Skeleton Lords, but also a gathering place for mutated skeleton warriors.
This means that the Ark can obtain a large amount of evolution materials without directly confronting the Skeleton Lord.
If the plan succeeds, he will be able to obtain enough racial evolution materials to raise his rank from the Iron rank to the Bronze rank without having to face that terrifying Skeleton Lord!
Once he reaches the Bronze rank, his terrifying strength as a Bronze Undead will make defeating a Skeleton Lord who is only at the Iron rank a piece of cake.
This is the fair and square way of fighting that Ark prefers, one that uses overwhelming force to dominate.
In Ark 007's training mode, time quickly passed until the last night of the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
Inside the auction house, Fang Zhou strode confidently to his private box, seemingly familiar with the place.
As soon as Fang Zhou entered the private room, a graceful female student knocked on the door and came in, handing him a copy of the treasure appraisal rules, saying, "Fang Zhou, the rules for the upcoming treasure appraisal event are a little different from those of the previous nights' auctions."
This is a stage for our elite students to showcase themselves and promote their talents.
Please read these appraisal rules carefully before the appraisal event begins, so as not to miss this opportunity.
"Thank you, senior sister," Fang Zhou replied politely, accepting the appraisal rules.
He quickly flipped through the documents and found that the rules of the Treasure Appraisal Conference were indeed very different from those of previous auctions.
-
This treasure appraisal event places greater emphasis on individual presentations by the participants. Everyone can showcase their treasures or resources to attract the attention and interest of other participants.
The senior sister smiled slightly and said to Fang Zhou, "Junior brother, if you are ready, I can take you to the venue of the treasure appraisal meeting."
This time, our venue is in the basement of this hall, a very spacious area.
Fang Zhou held the Treasure Appraisal Rules in one hand, nodded to her, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."
The female receptionist walked to the window of the private room, gently pulled open a control panel, and skillfully pressed a few buttons.
Soon, a small elevator entrance appeared on the wall.
The female student who was there to greet the student stepped into the elevator and waved to the Ark.
After he came in, she started the elevator, which slowly descended into the ground.
The elevator descended slowly. In the cramped space, the female student would occasionally turn to Fang Zhou to introduce the upcoming treasure appraisal event.
Soon, the elevator stopped at the basement level, and Fangzhou followed the senior student to the Treasure Appraisal Hall.
As she said before, due to time constraints, this treasure hall was unremarkable, but it was spacious.
In the center of the hall is a high platform, with dozens of large stone chairs arranged below it.
Each stone chair is carved with flowing patterns, as natural as flowing water, adding a touch of artistry.
After Fang Zhou took his seat, he closed his eyes to rest and focused his mind on the corpse clone, while his main body quietly waited for the other students participating in the treasure appraisal meeting to arrive.
A moment later, the once empty treasure appraisal hall gradually filled with people.
Due to limited space, only elite students who have undergone rigorous background checks are eligible to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
When such outstanding individuals gather in this group, they naturally have countless pieces of information to exchange.
Fangzhou had not informed the other students beforehand, so he simply sat quietly in a corner, subtly listening to the conversations of the students around him.
Unbeknownst to him, he had gained a lot of valuable information.
However, soon, a term that Fangzhou found very interesting jumped into his ears.
"Have you heard? The Nature Forest space fragment that's been all the rage these past few months has finally achieved a successful energy level leap."
"Now it can accommodate lower-level Black Iron professionals freely coming and going." A student said in a low voice, with a hint of regret in his tone.
"Yes, I heard there are many precious resources and treasures inside, especially for low-level professionals. It's a godsend. It's a pity I'm already at the mid-level Black Iron, so I really don't have the chance to go in. Maybe I'll have to wait until the next energy level leap." Another student chimed in, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Yes, I guess I'm just not meant to be with the Forest of Nature."
However, I heard that those feudal and closed-minded flower fairies have had a really bad time lately.
The sudden energy level jump caught them off guard.
Their previous defense forces were only at the apprentice level.
If the military academy hadn't observed the energy fluctuations and urgently dispatched a Black Iron-rank rescue team, these precious flower fairies might have been completely wiped out by the invading Black Iron-rank monsters.
"Indeed, it is sometimes hard to imagine how a creature like a flower fairy, who has no power to protect itself, could survive in a mythical world where racial conflicts are extremely cruel."
I've heard that the number of monsters invading the space fragments of the Forest of Nature has been increasing recently, and they've even formed several monster lairs.
The Haicheng Military Academy is preparing to assemble a wave of elite cadets to raid the monster's lair and help the Flower Fairy allies eliminate this major threat.
"Oh, is this news really true?"
Although my current strength has exceeded the limit, I have a few junior students who have always wanted to find opportunities to go out and hone their skills.
If the military academy really intends to do this, I will notify them in advance so that they can prepare and purchase some supplies that can be used on the Natural Forest space fragments.
This would greatly increase the chances of being selected by a military academy.
Fangzhou listened silently, a deep interest growing within him.
After obtaining Moon Spring Water, an apprentice-level soul nourishment resource, from his senior brother Zhang Wu, he developed a great interest in the fragments of the Natural Forest space where the flower fairies resided.
He had originally planned to take the opportunity to gain experience while working his way up from apprentice, and see if he could obtain more and more valuable resources from the flower fairies.
However, he learned from Instructor Su Xinyan that the space fragment of the Forest of Nature had undergone an energy level leap for unknown reasons, and the environment inside was now in a state of chaos.
Due to his cautious and conservative nature, Ark naturally shelved this expedition plan.
However, judging from the discussions among these senior students, it seems that the energy concentration of the Natural Forest space fragments has finally stabilized at the lower level of Black Iron.
This was naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ark.
With his spirit attribute now approaching 50, he's just one step away from reaching the mid-tier of Iron.
If he could accept the military academy's expedition mission and go to the Natural Forest space fragment for training before breaking through to the middle level of the Black Iron, it would fulfill a long-held dream of his.
After all, with Ark's current terrifying combat power, there are almost no monsters of the same level that can pose a threat to him.
The military academy and the flower fairies would surely be delighted to have such a powerful ally as the Ark.
With this in mind, Fang Zhou couldn't help but join the discussion among the senior students around him, and learned more about the fragments of the Forest of Nature from them.
Time passed quickly amidst the discussions, and all the participants had taken their places. The treasure appraisal conference officially began.
As per the agreed-upon rules, the participants in the treasure appraisal event ascended the platform in order of their assigned numbers.
A petite and charming female student was the first to ascend the treasure-appraising platform.
She opened the information she had prepared in advance and introduced herself with a smile: "My random number is one, so I'll go on stage first to throw out a brick to start the discussion and pave the way for all of you big shots."
The resource I'm offering for exchange this time is [Burning Heart Grass], which I discovered by chance while exploring the Beast Mountain Range.
It contains extremely strong fire elements and can release intense fire-attribute energy.
This is a Black Iron-grade rare treasure that fire-attribute professionals dream of.
The moment the information about the Burning Heart Grass was displayed, the entire Treasure Appraisal Hall erupted in excitement.
"Wow, Burning Heart Grass! This is a rare and precious natural treasure, practically priceless for fire-attribute professionals!"
"Yes, I happen to be a fire-attribute user, and this Burning Heart Grass is extremely important to me. I wonder what this senior would be willing to offer in exchange?"
Even Fang Zhou was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that the Treasure Appraisal Conference had just begun when a rare and precious natural treasure like the Burning Heart Grass, a black iron-grade material, would appear.
After all, there are quite a few fire-attribute professionals among the students of Haicheng Military Academy.
Among the students qualified to participate in the final treasure appraisal meeting tonight, apart from a dozen or so bronze-level professionals, most of the other participants are at the iron-level.
It can be said that the appearance of this Heart-Burning Grass directly ignited the passion and anticipation of all the participants.
The Ark was no exception.
Once the commotion in the room had subsided, the female student on the stage calmly and slowly made her request.
She was a dark-attribute professional, so the Burning Heart Grass had no effect on her.
Therefore, she most wanted to exchange this Burning Heart Grass for a rare and precious material with dark attributes.
In addition, she proposed several other alternatives, such as exclusive equipment for dark attribute mages, ancient artifacts, and precious alchemical materials.
According to the rules of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, students who have these resources and are willing to exchange them can conduct one-on-one transactions with her according to their serial numbers.
After stating her requirements, the female student looked expectantly at the audience, waiting for their trading requests.
Those students who were interested in participating in the transaction silently opened their personal terminals and sent transaction requests to the female student.
In an instant, notification sounds from personal terminals rose and fell, making the atmosphere in the entire appraisal hall even more lively.
Whether a specific transaction can be reached, whether both parties are satisfied, who the buyer is, and what the consideration is, these details will naturally not be disclosed to the public.
Only the buyer and seller truly know the facts.
Fang Zhou sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat envious of the senior student on stage.
After all, rare and precious materials of any type are not easy to find.
Even now, he still possesses the rare and precious [Breath of Decay], a necromantic treasure, but he doesn't know where to find it.
Fang Zhou himself had no need for the Burning Heart Grass, nor did he have any valuable treasures to exchange for it, so he wisely did not participate in the transaction.
From this first item auctioned, Fangzhou also gained some insight.
This treasure appraisal event was considered a very high-profile event among the students of Haicheng Military Academy.
Given that Fang Zhou has only recently broken through to the Iron rank and has not accumulated much wealth through actual combat training or raids, this trip might broaden his horizons significantly, but it's uncertain whether he will actually gain anything that satisfies him.
After all, apart from the skeletal warhorse reins, he didn't have many other treasures that would be attractive to the senior students.
About 10 minutes later, the female student on the stage showed a look of surprise.
She then looked in the direction of the audience and said in a relaxed tone, "Gentlemen, I have found a suitable buyer."
Thank you all for your support. See you next time!
After saying that, she hurriedly stepped down from the platform, her face filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
Fang Zhou watched coldly from the sidelines, naturally understanding that this senior had met an extremely suitable buyer, and might be able to exchange it for the dark attribute rare treasures she needed most.
The first transaction was completed, and the two parties handed over the goods on the spot, which was very quick.
The second student took the stage.
He was a muscular male student with a resolute face. After stepping onto the platform, he cleared his throat and said confidently, "I want a black iron-grade natural treasure with earth attributes."
I am skilled in forging and have a large collection of fine ores. I can craft custom-made equipment for your class, or modify or remelt it according to your requirements.
Clearly, the resources this student used for trading were his blacksmithing skills and those valuable ore resources.
After explaining his trading terms, he stood on the stage, looking at the students with expectant eyes.
However, an awkward silence ensued.
The trainees below the stage looked at each other, seemingly uninterested in his proposal.
