The new rules were announced, and the room fell silent.
Mu You waited for about ten seconds to confirm that no one had any queries, then he continued.
“Next, we’ll go in the order of seating to propose your trading items.
No one is allowed to interrupt until the others finish speaking.”
“I’ll begin.”
Mu You pulled out an engraved Mystical Skills Card and held it between his fingers.
“This is the ‘Rejuvenation’, an Intermediate Level Black Magic, that allows you to adjust your appearance and physical condition to any previous point of time, lasting for 24 hours, with a cooldown time of 20 hours.
Therefore, theoretically, this spell can have the effect of eternal youth.
Besides, this spell also has healing effects; no matter how severe the injury is, it will be completely healed after use.”
As soon as Mu You had finished his words, he found that everyone was burning with desire for the card in his hand.
In particular, Sagittarius and Aquarius, both females, longed so eagerly for the card that even through the hazy gloom, he could clearly feel it.
Yet it was only because of the rule he had just made that ‘no one shall interrupt others’ speaking arbitrarily’ that they managed to restrain themselves from speaking up.
“Indeed, the phrase ‘eternal youth’, is exceptionally effective on females…”
Mu You secretly heaved a sigh, then signaled that his presentation was finished, next one, please.
Next, it was Leo’s turn.
Leo stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, then dismissed it with a bitter grin saying, “Big Aries’ card is indeed very good, but it’s a shame that I already have a healing magic, and I don’t have anything of equal value for trading.
So, it seems I’m going to miss it.”
“As for my trading item today, it’s not a Magic Card, but an intel…
umm, which, to me, seems pretty valuable.”
Leo tapped a few times on the table, had made up his mind, nod and explained, “Alright, considering today we have an overseer who kicked out those two power abusers and brought the Sorcerer Association back on track, I will not trade this intel; it’s a gift for everyone on the house!
Big Aries, that should be fine, right?”
Mu You looked at Leo, a bit surprised, and nodded, “Sure, as long as you are willing.”
“Good.”
Leo continued with a nod, “On July 4th, which is today, between 6 and 7 AM, ‘the wall’ will experience its first large-scale crack, causing a massive influx of Star Spirits Creatures into Earth.
If anyone is interested, pay attention ahead of time; there should be obvious signs worldwide, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, thunderstorms, and so on.”
Magical creatures will swarm into the Earth?
This news took Mu You by surprise and caused astonishment amongst everyone else.
“Does that mean…
the end of the world is coming in a few hours?” Aquarius girl asked with a hint of fright.
“Hehe, not quite the end of the world.
Actually, there’s no need to worry, though there will be a magical creature outbreak, any highly advanced creatures wouldn’t be able to pass through the crack.
In my estimate, this time the highest-level creatures coming through won’t exceed level ten!” Leo laughed and answered.
“What’s your source for this information?
Can it be trusted?” Mu You asked, frowning.
“I can’t say where it’s from, but it is at least 95% likely to be true,” Leo said.
Mu You didn’t ask any more questions and nodded, “It’s valuable information.”
“Hehe, I’m glad if I can help everyone.”
Leo put his hands behind his head with a carefree look, then gestured to Scorpio on the other side of the table, indicating that it was his turn.
Now it was Scorpio’s turn, but he looked awkwardly at Mu You saying, “I’m sorry, I only became a Sorcerer yesterday, I haven’t had time to prepare any cards or valuable items for trading yet, so…”
“That’s alright, the new rules will start next week, just remember to bring the trading items next week.” Mu You nodded understandingly.
In truth, if he hadn’t had the Time Pocket Watch, he wouldn’t have any cards to bring either.
“Next.”
And next up was Sagittarius.
Being a player of one year, she was well-prepared.
She casually pulled out a card.
“This is ‘Summon Battle Eagle’, an Intermediate Level Black Magic, upon use, it summons a thunderous battle eagle.
The more natural magic power you provide, the stronger the summoned eagle will be.
Depending on the eagle’s strength, it can unlock True Sight, Remote Thunder Attack, and Invisibility abilities.
It can assist in battles or be used for reconnaissance.
The eagle’s duration is infinite, but only one can exist at a time; if a new one is summoned, the old one will disappear.”
After introducing her card, Sagittarius girl quickly turned to Mu You, “I want to exchange it for the ‘Rejuvenation’.
Of course, I know that even though both are Intermediate Level Magic, mine is slightly less rare, so if there are other items you want, you can also mention them, I’ll try my best to satisfy.”
“Sure, let’s wait until everyone has a say, then trade.”
Mu You nodded, feeling quite pleased.
The summoning spell Sagittarius brought out was quite impressive.
It encompasses monitoring, anti-invisibility, tanking, and damage dealing.
The utility is comprehensive.
Nevertheless, he didn’t rush for a swap, as he obviously had the upper hand in the seller’s market.
Besides, Sagittarius also mentioned that the value of both sides was unequal, so he could make additional requests.
Just in time, he could ask her about a medicinal concoction.
“Alright.”
Sagittarius girl also nodded.
After she had finished speaking, it was finally Aquarius girl’s turn.
Aquarius girl first looked reluctantly at Sagittarius, then at Mu You, before taking out a card, “This is the ‘Shockwave’, a low-level black magic that allows you to fire an invisible air cannon forward.
It doesn’t deal damage, but can blow away the hit target…
um…
I also want the ‘Rejuvenation’, I don’t know if…
this…
is enough for a swap?”
As Aquarius spoke, her head lowered, and her voice got softer.
She surely didn’t think that she stood a chance.
Compared to Sagittarius next to her, Aquarius’ offer was far behind in both value and usefulness.
It was clear who Mu You would choose.
Now that everyone had spoken, there were only Mu You, Sagittarius, and Aquarius left to trade.
Mu You manipulated the control on the table surface, setting the three of their voice settings to ‘only visible to each other’.
“Alright, only the three of us can hear the content of the trade.
Let’s discuss.”
With that, Mu You looked at Sagittarius and Aquarius, and pulled another card from his body, then said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I have two ‘Rejuvenation’.
As long as you can match the price, you can both get one.”
As expected, both Sagittarius and Aquarius heaved a sigh of relief at his words.
This way, it’s more of each player bidding.
They might not be able to make a purchase, but at least this would not cause any discord among them.
“Here, I have some materials I need.
Let’s see if either of you can provide.”
Mu You pointed at the table, and a pen and paper appeared automagically.
He wrote down, on the paper, the names of the six required materials for the Spirit Calling Potion, then pointed at the tabletop surface.
The next second, the paper disappeared and appeared in front of Sagittarius and Aquarius, respectively.
As anticipated, Aquarius’ girl ‘Little White’ had a bewildered look on her face, clearly unfamiliar with the content.
Sagittarius, on the other hand, picked up the paper and scanned it before raising her head, surprised, “All of these…
seem to be Advanced Magic Potion Ingredients…
doesn’t that mean Big Aries, you are a high-level Magic Potion Master?”
“Err… fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
somewhat…”
Mu You answered, feeling a little guilty.
Strictly speaking, he only had a dream to become a Magic Potion Master.
However, on this path, he hadn’t even made the first step just yet!
