Chapter 409 Dragon Bone Products
The display cabinets had a total of four rows, as if the grades had already been divided.
When Su Jiu displayed the alchemical items in the first row, the disdain in the eyes of the senior students had turned into astonishment. The freshmen who didn’t understand the situation suddenly became excited, completely surrounding the crystal cabinet. They seemed impatient looking at the labels.
“Damn, this major set only costs four million. Although the additional effects are only defensive and offensive, these are Initial Stage Battle General level set items.”
A Dun happily picked up the heavy tailbone large battle axe, stroking the patterns on it. He could feel the power contained within, as if its former owner was not just an Initial Stage Battle General…
Soon, discerning disciples from prominent families discovered the trick. It was a thin young man wearing frameless glasses. He wore white gloves and picked up a beast bone bracer, suddenly exclaiming, “These Initial Stage Battle General level items are not made from Initial Stage Battle General as raw materials. The bones used, I’ve seen them before – these are High-Rank Battle General level Demon Abyss Eagle leg bones.”
“The hardness of High-Rank Battle General monster leg bones is far higher than that of low-rank battle generals. This is likely due to the crude refining techniques, leading to high-grade materials being used to forge low-grade equipment. However, the attributes contained within are incomparable to equipment forged from low-grade materials!”
As his voice rang out, more gazes were drawn over. Among the senior students, there were naturally those with discerning eyes. A glimmer of sharp light appeared in their eyes. After exchanging glances, seeing the determined intent to acquire in each other’s eyes, they quickly reached a conclusion:
“This junior schoolmate obtained these items through some channel, possibly from a relic similar to a strong person’s. However, she doesn’t recognize their value, causing a large number of these exquisite items to be sold to freshmen at prices below market value.”
Many people began discussing arrangements for some junior schoolmates to make purchases on their behalf. At this point, they were beginning to realize that this flea market might not actually be a flea market.
However, Su Jiu ignored them and continued to place alchemical artifacts onto her hands. The levels gradually increased from Initial Stage Battle General level to Middle Stage Battle General level. Exquisite pieces of equipment, like elves, danced lively at Su Jiu’s fingertips.
Under the dance of these elves, the second row was also quickly laid out. The entire row consisted of Initial Stage Battle General level alchemical items, and even Middle Stage Battle General level alchemical items appeared at the end.
This made the senior students’ eyes turn red. Seeing students wearing freshman school uniforms, they grabbed them and, pointing at their preferred items, wanted to purchase them at the cost of some money. However, this behavior was quickly and openly stopped by the counselors called by Dean Zi.
Another restriction was added – it had to be suitable for oneself.
“Why are you, a 1.58m tall girl, buying this armor that requires at least a 1.9m height to wear? Purchasing on behalf of others is not allowed!”
“Wait, isn’t this a skirt? Junior schoolmate, why are you buying this?”
…
Afterwards, the counselors also began to act as salespeople. It seemed that Su Jiu had promised something to these counselors who had barely reached High-Rank Battle General, as they went from initial impatience to beaming smiles.
Hu Ling also felt a stir of desire looking at the fan-shaped weapons of Middle Stage Battle General level. With her eyesight, she could naturally tell that these were made from the tailbones of Battle King Level monsters, woven with Battle King Level spider silk.
“This con artist has probably made a killing again this time. The most infuriating thing is that they won’t let me buy it!”
Glancing at that familiar face again, she rolled her eyes, a hint of helplessness appearing in her eyes. She guessed that the other party wouldn’t sell to her, so she took out her phone and began to think about more discreet methods of purchasing on behalf of others…
Su Jiu’s ostentatious behavior gradually attracted the attention of some teachers in the academy. Although they were all Half-King Level, few possessed higher-grade alchemical artifacts. After all, they were engaged in education and naturally didn’t earn as much as those on the front lines.
Many of them scanned the first row; they had some thoughts of purchasing, but not many, as they were just Initial Stage Battle General level alchemical items. However, they did develop some interest in the accessories at the end, but due to their status, they did not descend to the floor.
Later, as some Middle Stage Battle General level accessories appeared, some teachers began to feel restless. After glancing at each other, they started contacting freshmen they usually had good relationships with, lowering their faces to beg for their help.
However, while their gazes were still fixed on the second row of display cabinets, the third row of display cabinets had already been filled. Except for the first few items being Middle Stage Battle General level alchemical artifacts, the rest were a direct repetition of the second row’s appearance, all High-Rank Battle General level items, with over a dozen individual pieces.
“No way, could this first-year student have dug up a War God’s tomb? How can there be so many things?”
This was a major event, directly drawing many school leaders who were watching into the purchasing team. However, some also noticed the fourth display cabinet. They swallowed their saliva, suddenly realizing that Su Jiu’s previous words were not just empty boasts.
What came after High-Rank Battle General level alchemical items… many dared not imagine.
At this time, several people who seemed to be of Dean level were also alerted. They examined the exhibits inside and then began to whisper amongst themselves.
And at the very back, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a frost-patterned mage robe walked over slowly. With his hands behind his back, he had an academic demeanor. His gaze fell upon the stage, revealing a hint of surprise. He murmured, “Is it the top student from the first year? I didn’t expect that in just half a year, she could produce such things?”
“I was a bit overconfident when I wanted to teach her.”
He then gave a self-deprecating smile and shook his head, his gaze also looking expectantly towards the last row of display cabinets.
He was the Vice Dean Yan, who had previously gifted Su Jiu the “Ice Control Technique”…
The arrival of these Dean-level figures naturally did not escape Su Jiu’s mental power perception. She cast a sideways glance and saw Vice Dean Yan’s figure. The speed at which she placed alchemical items slowed down considerably. She then put away a Dragon Finger bracelet, put it into her pocket, and successively continued to pile the remaining items into the fourth display cabinet.
“Hey! Do you guys feel an inexplicable sense of pressure from the bone products in the fourth display cabinet?” Some students’ eyes fell on the items in the fourth display cabinet. Looking at the bone swords, from rings to larger ones, they could feel their beast pets conveying an inexplicable emotion—
Fear!
“What exactly are those things? They don’t have unique attribute glows, so they shouldn’t be Battle King Level alchemical items. However, they seem to have much more pressure than ordinary High-Rank Battle General alchemical items.”
Even some teachers could feel their beast pets becoming restless after the fourth display cabinet appeared. The previously knowledgeable students were also momentarily perplexed. However, unlike these people, the Dean-level figures all had solemn expressions…
Exhaling, Vice Dean Yan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. An unprecedented sharpness erupted in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, “This is dragon bone, made from the most essential bones of Western dragons…”
