Chapter 207 Invitation from the Botanical Garden
Chapter 207 Invitation from the Botanical Garden
"Brother Prisoner, sorry to have kept you waiting."
Titan pushed through the crowd and walked forward, directly initiating a trade with Lu Li.
Lu Li did not delay and after confirming the amount was correct, he directly traded the Tyrannosaurus Rex Fruit.
"By the way, have you been buying more goods while I'm away?"
Titan was a little surprised when he saw the extra devil fruits on Lu Li's stall. He originally thought that there were only these few.
But he did not regret not taking a closer look. This ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex fruit was the best besides the Thunder Fruit, and most importantly, it was very suitable for his combat style.
"It's just been certified. Do you like any of them?"
Lu Li explained casually.
Tai Tan shook his head. "How can I afford it? Brother Gong, do you think there is anything that catches your eye?"
The man standing next to Titan looked a bit honest, neither tall nor short, a little fat, with a warm smile on his round face, like a businessman who makes money by being friendly in the real world.
But seeing that Titan was very respectful to him, he knew that he was definitely a tough guy in this space.
"There are quite a lot of fruits, and they are of good quality. Let me take a look."
Brother Gong leaned over and scanned the stalls. "Is the marked price the selling price?"
Lu Li nodded. The stall had a pricing function, and he could see it below by just checking the details.
"The price is right. I want all of them."
Brother Gong pointed at five devil fruits with a calm expression, as if he was buying vegetables on the street.
Lu Li looked at this 'Brother Gong' in surprise, then looked at Titan, his eyes seemed to be asking, who is this Lord?
"Brother Gong is a fourth-level player. He came down to help the newcomers in the group purchase some things."
Titan introduced vaguely, obviously not being able to say too much.
Lu Li suddenly realized that explorers could not go to other levels at will, but could move around the three levels above and below their current level. He was jumping levels to the third level to sell, while the other party was buying from the lower level.
What surprised Lu Li even more was that when they were making the deal, Brother Gong said, "One million and eighty thousand, that's not very auspicious. I'll pay you one hundred and ninety."
Lu Lixin said, what's so unlucky about this? Is it so particular?
It turns out that advanced explorers are rich and inhumane.
Of course he wouldn't have any objection. If the other party offered an extra ten thousand, what else could he say? Just make the deal directly.
After the transaction was completed, Brother Gong put away the five devil fruits with a smile, "Not bad, this way the shopping is faster, Titan, call me when you need such convenient things in the future."
Having said that, Brother Gong turned and left, leaving everyone with a mysterious back.
The onlookers present were still in shock as they were truly stunned by the transaction price. A wave of transactions worth millions was an astronomical figure even for a third-level explorer.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Li with envy, thinking that he was probably the richest third-level explorer.
But if Lu Li knew what they were thinking, he would probably say that they were wrong. He was not the richest third-level explorer, but the richest second-level explorer.
There are only three fruits left on the stall. After seeing the excitement, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Lu Li was holding a tablet made from space and watching anime all the time. When it was almost evening, Black Lily came to Lu Li's stall, accompanied by another woman who looked very gloomy.
The reason I say this is because that woman has the same vibe as Black Lily, she is wrapped tightly in black, with a dark red, almost black mask on her face, and tight black clothes on her body. She looks tall, but gives people an uncomfortable feeling overall.
If I have to say something, it's the look in her eyes. When she looks at people, it's like an experimenter looking at animals on the dissection table.
"Who is this?"
Lu Li had previously sent an email to Black Lily, asking her to come and get the scroll. He had previously selected a random master-level scroll, and when it was opened, it happened to be for melee combat specialization. It was unclear whether he was lucky or Black Lily was lucky.
"Mandala from the group."
Black Lily introduced herself briefly. Her voice was still sweet, but it lacked emotion. With her makeup, her appearance on a horror movie set would definitely add to the atmosphere.
Lu Li mentally complained about the people in the other party's adventure group. Since they had an adventure group, why did they always act alone?
"I want the Hidden Fruit."
Mandragora glanced at the fruits on the stall and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Unlike Black Lily, her voice was extremely unpleasant, like a drake shouting through a leaky bellows.
Lu Li picked up the fruit, and the other party had already initiated the transaction. There was no bargaining or asking for the price during the whole process. He just paid the marked price, 230,000.
When Lu Li called out Black Lily before, he also reported the fruit in his hand, just to see if there was a market for it. Mandragora was obviously an assassin-type explorer, so it was reasonable for him to be interested in this fruit.
After selling this fruit, Lu Li prepared to close the stall. He planned to keep the remaining two fruits to feed the Chaos Spirit Seed.
Black Lily was not surprised to see Lu Li put away the fruit. She already knew that the Divine Spring had a spiritual seed. Now that the Divine Spring was dead, the spiritual seed naturally went to Lu Li.
Those are spiritual seeds related to bloodline, so it's normal for Lu Li to keep a few devil fruits.
After completing the transaction, Mandragora put away the fruit and looked at Lu Li with emotionless eyes, "This time, in addition to buying fruit, the deputy leader also asked me to bring a message."
Lu Li was a little confused and didn't know what was going on with the other party's adventure group, but he noticed from the beginning that since Black Lily and Mandragora came over, everyone around the stall had run away.
It seemed that these explorers were very afraid of Mandragora and the other person, more than they were afraid of Futianmo during the day. This was obviously not a problem of one person's reputation, but a problem of their adventure group. This made Lu Li begin to be curious about the other party's adventure group.
"Please say."
Lu Li said politely that Black Lily was a strong person, and so were the members of the other adventure group. They would have to deal with each other in the future. "Join the botanical garden. You have valuables with you. If you lose them, it will be a loss for us."
Mandragora said, and Black Lily was a little surprised by the content of her words, because before coming, she had no idea that the deputy captain asked Mandragora to bring such words.
What surprised her the most was that everyone had returned to the space for only one day, and she was the only person in the End Space who knew that there were spirit seeds in the Divine Spring. After she came back, she did not talk nonsense to others about the spirit seeds.
The deputy captain should not have known that Lu Li had a spiritual seed, but he seemed to have a clairvoyance that could see through the heavens and knew Lu Li's condition accurately.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li frowned slightly and looked at Black Lily, wondering if the other party had leaked his information. However, Black Lily had her face covered and her eyes were calm, so he couldn't tell anything.
He thought about it and realized that he couldn't hide the fact that he had a spiritual seed. The origin spiritual seed was in him, and everyone who had entered the Kengan world knew about it. It wasn't necessarily Black Lily who told it, as the other party didn't seem like the kind of person who would talk nonsense.
"Sorry, I have no intention of joining the adventure group for the time being. I am more suitable to act alone."
Lu Li rejected the other party's invitation. Although this "botanical garden" looked powerful and mysterious, he did not want to be controlled. As a pioneer, it was not convenient for him to form a team with others for a long time.
After all, he will have special pioneering missions and may have to wipe out team members in certain situations.
"Well, so be it."
Mandragora did not continue to invite him, as if he was just delivering a message. When he saw Lu Li refused, he turned around and left.
Lu Li saw Black Lily still standing there. He glanced at Mandragora's back and asked, "Are all the people in your adventure group so weird?"
"Just like you are not to blame, although I don't know why the deputy leader invited you, but she is right. The news that you have valuables on you cannot be concealed. It will soon spread among the elite circles of the space, and you will become everyone's prey."
Black Lily said, "So you really don't consider joining the group?"
Lu Li didn't expect that someone like Black Lily would be a lobbyist, "Joining the group will guarantee your safety? But I didn't see Shenquan show mercy to you."
Black Lily was silent for a few seconds. "...It's not what you think. You can get intelligence after joining the team, but our team never acts as a group. The only one who can save you is you after you become stronger."
After saying that, she took the scroll that Lu Li had promised her and turned to leave. Obviously, she was not very good at chatting.
Lu Li looked at Black Lily's back and touched his chin, wondering what kind of weird adventure group the Botanical Garden was. If they were not going to form a team to enter the world, then what was the point of forming an adventure group?
He closed the stall and counted today's income. He initially earned 45 End Coins when he sold the Thunder Fruit. After that, he used 15 to authenticate five Devil Fruits, leaving him with 147. With Brother Gong's large purchases and Mandragora's spending, he still had million End Coins on hand!
"He really became a millionaire."
Lu Li muttered to himself, and after standing up, he prepared to visit the trading market like a wealthy man.
But the epic bloodline he had in mind was hard to find. So far, he had only seen a few devil fruits being sold by other explorers. Seeing that there was no chance, Lu Li went back to his room first.
The next day, Lu Li walked around the trading market again, but still had no gains, which made him very distressed. He found that the third-level explorers were too poor and it was difficult for them to obtain top-quality bloodlines.
Generally speaking, if there are really good bloodline props, they are either used by themselves or sold domestically by the team. Only a lone ranger like him who really doesn't need them will sell them.
Helplessly, Lu Li could only change his mindset and contact Black Lily in his friend list to ask if the other party had any solution.
After all, he felt that the botanical garden was like a large-scale cross-level adventure group, and perhaps there would be bloodlines obtained by high-level explorers that he would not need and would not keep.
"excuse me, may I ask."
After Black Lily gave a brief reply, she gave Lu Li feedback not long after, "I have a bloodline item. It's quite expensive. See if you like it."
As she spoke, she used the display function in the email system to send the details of the bloodline item.
[Bloodline Item: Clarity of Mind]
Origin: Native World No. 21870
Quality: Epic
Usage: Only available within the space
Requirements: Spirit 50 points, Constitution 50 points
Details: The bloodline comes from the mysterious race Chengxin clan of Luotian Continent. After using this item, the pioneer will obtain Chengxin bloodline, mental attribute +5 points, physical attribute +5 points.
Those who possess the Chengxin bloodline will have extremely strong immunity to mental control and relatively strong immunity to physical control.
For details on bloodline skills, please check them in the bloodline menu after using the bloodline item.
Rating: 700+
Evaluation: With a clear mind, one can reach the limitless level and move forward courageously.
After reading the brief introduction of the bloodline item, Lu Li's eyes lit up. This was exactly the bloodline he needed at this stage.
As for numerical values, he has the talent to remove limiters, and because Chaos Spirit Seeds can have multiple bloodlines, it will be easy for him to improve in the future.
However, it is difficult to bring about a qualitative change in the mechanism. He currently has almost no shortcomings in combat. The only drawback is that he is a lone ranger. If he is controlled by a powerful control skill, he may be killed instantly by concentrated fire.
This Pure Heart bloodline can perfectly solve this problem. As an epic bloodline item with a full score, the so-called immunity should be more than just reducing the control effect.
Moreover, this bloodline comes from the native world with a smaller numerical number, and it probably has a higher potential for development. It is not inferior to his Thunder God Fruit and is worth eating.
"how much is it?"
Lu Li inquired.
"She said five hundred thousand, no bargaining."
Black Lily relayed.
