Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Long ago, someone told Jiang Kai that in Destiny Calling, survival was more important than leveling up.

The "Phantomization" of the Phantom Armor, which allows immunity to one physical attack, was worth millions in alliance currency just for this effect.

The dimpled young lady was also extremely interested in this piece of equipment. As soon as she finished appraising it, she looked at Jiang Kai. "Handsome, if you want to sell this piece of equipment, I can call to report it and see if we can negotiate a higher price."

The last time he sold ores, they didn't even offer to negotiate. But now, when selling equipment, they were willing to make a phone call?

Jiang Kai thought about it. The Phantom Armor was indeed very good, and based on the dimpled girl's tone, it seemed like it wasn't hard to sell.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Kai smiled and said, "No rush, beauty. Let's look at the rest first."

The young lady seemed a bit disappointed, but being professional, she quickly continued appraising the rest of Jiang Kai's equipment.

From the remaining equipment, two pieces of Grade 6 Tier 1 Armor were found, with decent defensive stats, each appraised at around 30,000 star coins.

Unfortunately, the rest of the equipment was fairly average. There were even quite a few low-value profession-specific items—after all, elite banshees didn't really care about attributes when collecting equipment.

Among the accessories, a Ring of Spirit appeared. Jiang Kai already had one but decided to keep this one as well.

"Handsome, all the equipment has been appraised. Have you made your decision on the Phantom Armor?"

"I probably won't sell it," Jiang Kai answered directly. "Please calculate the total value of the other equipment."

The dimpled girl looked at Jiang Kai putting away the Phantom Armor and seemed a bit regretful. However, the remaining equipment was a considerable bulk transaction, so she didn't dare to be careless.

"Let me verify once more. Handsome, you kept a Spirit Sword, an Ebony Staff, the Phantom Armor, a pair of Nightfall Pants, two Iron Bear Armors, two Anger Pants, and a Ring of Spirit."

Jiang Kai nodded, confirming he kept the best items.

"That's correct."

"Alright, then for the rest: 24 weapons, 145 armors, and 26 accessories, the total is 639,400 star coins."

Jiang Kai exhaled in relief. Even after excluding the most valuable pieces, the equipment alone brought in more than enough money.

He then turned his attention to the remaining materials. "And these 11 stones, along with the banshee ashes, please check those too."

"Got it."

The Fire God Squad hadn't hunted many banshees—just 70 to 80. The ashes, being a forging material, had a fixed price of 100 star coins per 20 grams. A total of 1,480 grams of ashes was appraised at 74,000 star coins.

But Jiang Kai was far more curious about the stones' value.

After appraisal, among the 11 stones, there were:

3 pieces of Top-Grade Life Jadeite Ore,

2 pieces of Top-Grade Hard Steel,

4 pieces of Top-Grade Soft Iron.

Although all were top-grade in quality, the small sizes and light weights led to a total appraisal of 76,700 star coins.

Given the current income exceeded his needs, Jiang Kai felt quite calm.

The price was decent.

"This piece is Cold Jade, with a gem-grade quality. It weighs 0.2 kilograms and is appraised at 80,000 star coins."

Upon hearing the appraisal, Jiang Kai's previously calm demeanor was replaced with shock.

At this rate, gem-grade Cold Jade was worth 400,000 star coins per kilogram. If he managed to find a larger piece, he'd be rich overnight.

The dimpled girl then picked up the last two stones and tested them. "These two are Strong Magnetic Stones. Their magnetic strength is rare, but unfortunately, they're not very valuable. These two pieces are identical in size—one is 0.24 kilograms, and the other is 0.26 kilograms, totaling 0.5 kilograms. If you want to sell them, the price is 5,000 star coins."

Finally, the Strong Magnetic Stones didn't set any new price records. However, even being "not very valuable," they were priced at 10,000 star coins per kilogram.

"What are magnetic stones for?" Jiang Kai asked curiously.

"Oh, you can think of them as... Earth's magnets. But Ghost Star's magnetic stones are unique. They can bind to a specific metallic object and generate magnetic force only for that item. Once bound, the magnetic force is incredibly strong."

"Many experts use magnetic stones to bind their weapons, allowing them to retrieve weapons after they're disarmed."

"However, they aren't in high demand and aren't essential. That's why the price has always been low. It's just a pity that your two magnetic stones reached top-grade gem quality—actually quite rare."

Hearing this, Jiang Kai, who had asked out of casual curiosity, suddenly felt electrified.

Bind weapons? Retrieve them if they're disarmed?

What a coincidence—his weapons frequently left his hands…

"Miss, I'll keep these two magnetic stones. Sell everything else, including the banshee ashes." Jiang Kai decided immediately.

"Jiang Kai, about the Phantom Armor..." the young lady suddenly mentioned again.

"Huh? You know my name?" Jiang Kai's attention shifted elsewhere.

The young lady realized her slip and awkwardly smiled. "I heard about you—fighting one versus four and defeating the Falcon Squad outside the safe zone..."

"You never mentioned your name, so I thought you didn't want people to know. That's why I kept calling you 'handsome.' I slipped up just now.

Jiang Kai chuckled. "I don't really mind. Everyone knows anyway, so there's no point hiding it. By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Xiang Yu."

"Taro?"

"Ugh, no! Not the edible kind—it's the 'Xiang Yu' that means 'precious jade.'"

Jiang Kai nodded in half-understanding and finally remembered Xiang Yu's earlier question. "Sorry, Xiang Yu. The Phantom Armor isn't for sale."

Xiang Yu shook her head but then smiled at Jiang Kai. "Actually, keeping it is a good choice. The Phantom Armor is extremely rare—it only drops from Ghost Banshee treasures. You're lucky. Usually, we don't receive any for years."

"Oh, and since you sold us so much, we're practically friends now. Let me give you some free information."

"What is it?"

"In a week, the Black Tortoise Guild plans to hunt a King-Level Boss. It's best if you don't go out during that time—be careful of running into their main force."

Jiang Kai was surprised. This girl had just handed him a valuable piece of information.

Looks like he'd sell to her from now on.

The second transaction went smoothly, with delivery and payment finalized.

Jiang Kai received 870,100 star coins, equivalent to 8.7 million alliance currency.

"Next time you have good stuff, remember to find me," Xiang Yu said enthusiastically.

"Will do." Jiang Kai smiled and left the supply station.

The Fire God Squad's camp was close to the supply station. Jiang Kai quickly returned to their base.

Hu Yan and Ruan Yu immediately gathered around. When they saw Jiang Kai's earnings, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Whoa! Including the round trip, it's been less than ten days, and we earned this much?" Hu Yan exclaimed.

Jiang Kai smiled faintly. "This time, both of you contributed greatly. Raise your wrist devices."

Hu Yan and Ruan Yu exchanged glances but refused to raise their wrists.

"Captain, we agreed when we joined that we wouldn't take a cut. Giving us a share means you look down on us."

Jiang Kai didn't care. He grabbed Hu Yan's wrist and transferred 100,000 star coins.

"One hundred thousand? Captain, you've already given me a skill book. How can I take so much money?"

Ignoring Hu Yan, Jiang Kai grabbed Ruan Yu's wrist and transferred 200,000 star coins.

"Two hundred thousand? Captain, I can't accept this." Ruan Yu protested, trying to return the money.

Jiang Kai pressed down on both their wrists, stopping them from operating their devices. Smiling, he said, "Without you two, I wouldn't have cleared even one elite cabin."

"Don't you both want to pursue ultimate professions? How can you get stronger without money?"

"If you truly see yourselves as part of the Fire God Squad, then listen to my arrangement. Accept what you deserve and work with me to prove to everyone..."

Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes and said firmly, "That non-combat professions can also become powerful."

Perhaps Jiang Kai's words struck a chord, as the two finally stopped refusing their shares.

"Captain, no more words. Whatever you plan next, no matter the risk, as long as you don't abandon us, we'll follow you." Hu Yan declared.

"I feel the same!" Ruan Yu added.

When it came to the next plan, Jiang Kai couldn't help but smile coldly. "I heard the Black Tortoise Guild is hunting a King-Level Boss. I bet my old nemesis won't miss it."

Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes.

Those guys wanted his brother to die in the hospital because of a lack of funds?

'Fine, Huang Da. I was too busy earning money to deal with you before. Now, Grandpa has time to play.'
