Absolute Death Game

At that moment, Xiao Buli suddenly thought of Yi Xuan and wondered how he managed to carry so much stuff. Looking around, he saw no sign of Yi Xuan and grew anxious until he caught sight of an elderly figure nearby.

Isn't that the old man who recycles second-hand Magical Treasures? Buli thought to himself. In the Immortal Realm, there must be storage-type Magical Treasures available, but after the recent battle, none of the Immortal Families were likely in the mood to open their shops immediately. Even if he went to the shops, he doubted he would be able to buy anything. Moreover, he didn't have much time to waste here, so he quickly turned his attention to the wily old man in front of him. However, as slick as the old man was, Buli knew that he'd surely get fleeced if he approached him directly to make a purchase.

With that in mind, Buli went behind the old man and asked a servant nearby, "Young man, do you know where in this Fairy City I can buy storage-class Magical Treasures?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the old man immediately turn his head to look in his direction.

"Storage Magical Treasures? The shops here do have them for sale, but they're likely damaged by now. You could see if anyone has one they no longer use and might be willing to part with," the servant replied, unaware of Buli's intentions.

Buli thought to himself, this was perfect. With that statement, bargaining just became a lot easier. He thanked the servant and turned to leave.

As expected, the old man couldn't help but come closer and said, "Mortal, why don't you ask this old fellow if you're looking to buy a Magical Treasure?"

Buli glanced at him dismissively, as if not impressed at all, "Do you have any? Hopefully, they're not just some unwanted junk."

"What you have is a pile of junk, but this old man can turn waste into treasure. What I have here are all valuable items," the old man replied, not willing to be outdone and looking quite pleased with himself.

"You," Buli said, pretending to be angry while actually not bothered at all. Having dealt with the old man a few times, Buli had figured out his personality: the more frustrated and angry you became, the happier he was. "Then show me what you have."

The old man, all smiles upon hearing this, immediately took out three items and said:

"This first one is a Qiankun Bag, which can contain an entire Qiankun within it, for just 15,000 Spirit Stones.

The second is called a Hundred Treasures Pouch, capable of holding something as large as a mountain, for just 5,000 Spirit Stones.

The third is a storage bracelet, able to accommodate something the size of a room, for just 1,000 Spirit Stones."

After the old man proudly introduced the three items, he waited for Buli's reaction, assuming that a mortal like Buli would be impressed by the Magical Treasures. Instead, Buli just sneered, "What do I need such large storage for? I might as well ask around and see if anyone has one they don't need. I could trade some Magical Treasures for it."

Seeing the deal slipping away, the old man urgently called out, "How big do you need?"

Buli was actually worried that the old man had all sizes available, so he thought for a moment and said, "That storage bracelet might do, but it's too expensive, not suitable. The stuff I'd store in it isn't worth that much; I'd rather keep my Spirit Stones."

"Then how much will you give?" the old man asked.

"500, I guess." This was a price-cutting technique Buli learned from an ex-girlfriend: always cut the price in half when bargaining.

"500? Are you robbing me?" the old man immediately reacted as if in pain.

"Then forget it," Buli said, turning to leave. "I'll ask someone else. You're too shrewd for me."

Although he seemed discourteous, Buli actually complimented the old man, making him secretly pleased. The old man didn't want to raise the price too high and said, "If you really want it, add those junk Magical Treasures you brought, and it's yours."

Buli was ready to agree, knowing those Magical Treasures were of no use to him. Still, seeing the old man take such an interest, he hesitated a bit before replying, "It's not appropriate, not appropriate. Let's forget it."

"You, really..." The old man started, then added, "If it weren't for the few spare parts on your broken treasures that I can use, I wouldn't bother. What use do you have for them with your current strength?" With those words, Buli was struck with a realization—this old man could see through his power level. It was clear that no one in the Immortal Realm should be underestimated. Thinking that time was money and not wanting to haggle anymore, he stomped his foot as if making a big decision, "Then it's yours."

Finally smiling broadly, the old man and Buli exchanged their items. Now armed with a suitable tool, Buli waved his pickaxe and started digging toward the corpse. After digging in silence for more than an hour, he had unearthed only one corpse, but even so, it made for a handsome haul. Looking around, Buli saw the other corpses were already being taken care of by other servants. His lone corpse had turned into a mine's worth of ore in his pouch, a shame that he didn't have enough time or storage. Otherwise, he could have made a killing.

System prompt: Mission completed, clean up the battlefield. Your Prestige in Penglai Immortal City has increased by 200 points.

This was where the difference in mission rewards became apparent; for a relatively safe task, he earned only 200 Prestige points despite being busy for half a day.

The Golden Armor Guard who posted the task then rewarded Buli with 100 Spirit Stones. Looking into the distance with a somewhat melancholic expression, he said, "Some Ancient Demons have escaped, and we're not sure if they'll cause trouble later on. We're organizing a pursuit. Do you have any interest in joining?"

System prompt: Mission triggered, hunt Ancient Demons. Will you accept? Yes/No.

Buli thought to himself that joining for the experience was a no-brainer and hastily clicked 'Accept.' (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to support it by voting for it on . Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
