Chapter 207 Invitation From the Botanical Garden
"Brother Qi Mo, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Tai Tan pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, directly launching a deal with Lu Li.
Lu Li did not delay. After confirming that the amount was correct, he directly traded the Tyrannosaurus Rex Fruit.
"By the way, are you taking advantage of my absence to purchase more goods?"
Tai Tan was a little surprised to see the extra Devil Fruits on Lu Li's stall. He originally thought they were just a few.
But he didn't regret not looking more. This ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex fruit was the best after the Thunder Fruit. The most important thing was that it suited his fighting style very well.
"You've just been certified, are you interested in it?"
Lu Li explained casually.
Tai Tan shook his head, "How can I afford it? Brother Gong, do you like it?"
The man standing next to Tai Tan looked a bit honest, neither tall nor short, a little chubby, with a warm smile on his round face, like a businessman who could make money in a friendly manner in the real world.
But seeing that Tai Tai respected him very much, he knew that he was definitely a ruthless character in the space.
"There are a lot of fruits and they are of good quality. Let me take a look."
Brother Gong leaned down and scanned in front of the stall, "Is the listed price the selling price?"
Lu Li nodded. The stall had a price marking function. You can see it below just by checking the details.
"The price is right. I want these."
Brother Gong ordered five Devil Fruits with a calm expression, as if he was buying groceries on the street.
Lu Li looked at this 'Brother Gong' in surprise, and then looked at Tai Tan, his eyes seeming to say, What kind of master is this?
"Brother Gong is in the fourth level. He is here to help the newcomers in the group buy some things."
Tai Tan introduced vaguely, obviously it was not convenient to say too much.
Lu Li suddenly realized that the explorer could not go to other floors at will, but he could act on the three floors above and below his current level. He went to the third floor to sell, while the other party bought from the lower level.
What surprised Lu Li even more was that during the transaction, Brother Gong said, "One million and eighty thousand, it's not very auspicious. I'll pay you one hundred and nine."
Lu Lixin said there was something unlucky about this, was it so particular?
Sure enough, advanced explorers are inhumane.
Of course he wouldn't have any objection. If someone wanted to give him an extra ten thousand, what else could he say? Direct transaction.
After the transaction was completed, Brother Gong put away the five Devil Fruits with a smile, "Yes, it's faster to scan the goods this way, Titan, call me if you have such a convenient thing in the future."
With that said, Brother Gong turned around and left, leaving everyone with a mysterious figure behind him.
The onlookers present had not yet come to their senses. They were really shocked by the transaction price just now. The transaction amounted to millions, which was an astronomical figure in the eyes of 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, I'm afraid they would have thought wrong. He was not the richest third-level explorer, but the richest second-level 'explorer'.
There are now three fruits left on the stall. After seeing the excitement, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Lu Li was holding a tablet of space specialties and kept refilling the content. When it was almost night, Widowmaker came to Lu Li's stall, followed by another woman who looked very gloomy.
The reason why I say this is because the woman has the same atmosphere as Widowmaker. She is wrapped tightly in black, with a dark red and almost black mask on her face, and wearing close-fitting black clothes. Her figure looks tall, but overall she looks tall. An uncomfortable feeling.
To put it bluntly, her eyes looked like an experimenter looking at animals on the dissecting table.
"Who is this?"
Lu Li had previously sent an email to Widowmaker, asking her to pick up the scroll. He had chosen a random master-level scroll, and it happened to be a melee combat specialization. He didn't know whether he was lucky or Widowmaker was lucky. .
"In the group, Mandala."
Widowmaker introduced briefly. Her voice was still sweet, but without emotion. Paired with her makeup, it would definitely enhance the atmosphere on a horror set.
Lu Li complained in his mind about who was in the other party's adventure group. Since there was an adventure group, why did he always act alone?
"I want the Hidden Fruit."
Mandala glanced at the fruits on the stall and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Unlike Widowmaker, her voice is extremely ugly, like a drake shouting from a leaky bellows.
Lu Li picked up the fruit and saw that the other party had already initiated the transaction. There was no counter-offer or asking about the price throughout the process and he paid the price directly, which was 230,000.
When Lu Li called Widowmaker before, he also offered him the fruit in his hand, just to see if it would be marketable. Mandala looked like an assassin-type explorer, so it made sense that he would take a fancy to this fruit.
After selling this fruit, Lu Li was ready to close the stall, and he planned to keep the remaining two fruits to feed the Chaos Spirit Seeds.
Widowmaker was not surprised to see Lu Li put away the fruit. She already knew that there was a spiritual seed in Shenquan. Now that Shenquan is dead, the spiritual seed has naturally reached Lu Li.
It was a spiritual seed related to bloodline, so it was normal for Lu Li to keep a few Devil Fruits.
After completing the transaction, Mandala put away the fruits and looked at Lu Li with emotionless eyes. "In addition to buying fruits this time, the deputy leader also asked me to bring a message."
Lu Li was a little confused and didn't know what the other party's adventure group was about, but he discovered from the beginning that since Widowmaker and Mandala came over, everyone around the stall had disappeared.
These explorers seemed to be very afraid of Mandala and the other person, and there were more people who were afraid of Futianmo than in the daytime. This was obviously not a matter of one person's reputation, but a matter of their adventure group. This made Lu Li curious about the other party's adventure group.
"Please speak."
Lu Li said politely. Black Lily was a strong man, 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 this side."
Mandala said, and the content of her words surprised Black Lily, because before she came, she didn't know that the deputy leader asked Mandala to bring such words.
What surprised her most was that everyone had only returned to the space for one day, and she was the only person in the End Space who knew that there were spirit seeds in the Shenquan. After she came back, she didn't talk nonsense about the spirit seeds to others.
The deputy leader should not have known that Lu Li had spirit seeds, but the deputy leader seemed to have a clairvoyance that could see through the heavens, and accurately knew Lu Li's situation.
Lu Li frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Black Lily, wondering if the other party had leaked his information, but Black Lily covered her face and her eyes were calm, so he couldn't see anything.
He thought about it, and he couldn't hide the fact that he had a spirit seed after all. The origin spirit seed was in him, and everyone who had entered the Quanyuan world knew it. It might not be Black Lily who told it out. The other party didn't seem like a person who liked to talk nonsense.
"Sorry, I don't have the idea 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 didn't want to be controlled, and as a pioneer, it was not convenient for him to form a team with others for a long time.
After all, he would have special pioneer tasks, and he might have to eliminate team members in some cases.
"Well, that's it."
Mandala didn't continue to invite, as if he was just bringing a message. Seeing Lu Li's refusal, he turned around and left.
Lu Li saw Black Lily still standing there, he glanced at Mandragora's back, "Are all the people in your adventure group so weird?"
"Just like you are not weird, although I don't know why the deputy leader invited you, but she is right, the news that you have valuables on you can't 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 can guarantee 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 group, and our team never acts in a group. The only one who can save you is you after you become stronger."
After that, she took the scroll that Lu Li had agreed to, and turned to leave. Obviously, she was not very good at chatting.
Lu Li looked at Black Lily's back and touched his chin, thinking about what kind of weird adventure group the Botanical Garden was. Since they didn't form a team to enter the world, what was the point of setting up an adventure group?
He closed the stall and counted today's income. When he first sold the Thunder Fruit, he earned 450,000 End of the World Coins. After that, he used 300,000 to authenticate five devil fruits, leaving 150,000. With Brother Gong's large purchase and Mandragora's consumption, he still had 1.47 million End of the World Coins on hand!
"I really became a millionaire."
Lu Li muttered silently in his heart, and got up and prepared to visit the trading market as a local tyrant.
But the epic bloodline he had in mind was difficult to find. At present, he only saw a few devil fruits 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 harvest, which made him very distressed. He found that the third-level explorers were too poor and it was difficult to get the best bloodline.
Generally speaking, if there is a really good bloodline prop, either it is used by oneself or the team sells it internally. Unless a lone ranger like him really doesn't need it, he will sell it.
Helplessly, Lu Li could only change his mind and contact Black Lily in the friend list to ask if the other party had any way.
After all, he felt that the Botanical Garden was like a large-scale adventure group across levels, and there might be bloodlines that high-level explorers could obtain but didn't need.
"Let me ask."
After a brief reply, Black Lily gave Lu Li feedback not long after, "There is a bloodline item, it's quite expensive, see if you are satisfied."
As she said, she used the display function in the email system to send the details of the bloodline item.
[Bloodline Item: Clear Heart]
Origin: Native World No. 21870
Quality: Epic
Usage: Can only be applied for use in the space
Usage requirements: 50 points of spirit, 50 points of physique
Details: The bloodline comes from the mysterious race of the Clear Heart Clan of Luotian Continent. After using this item, the pioneer will obtain the Clear Heart bloodline, with +5 points of spirit attribute and +5 points of physique attribute.
Those with the Clear Heart bloodline will have strong immunity to mental control and strong immunity to physical control.
For details of bloodline skills, please check it in the bloodline menu after using the bloodline item.
Rating: 700+
Evaluation: With a clear mind, one can move forward without hesitation.
After reading the general introduction of the bloodline item, Lu Li's eyes lit up. This is exactly the bloodline he needs at this stage.
As for the numerical values, he has the talent to remove the limiter, and because the Chaos Spirit Seed can have multiple bloodlines, it will be easy to improve in the future.
But it is difficult to make a qualitative change in the mechanism. He currently has almost no shortcomings in combat. The only disadvantage is that he is a lone ranger. If he is controlled by a strong control skill, he may be killed instantly.
This Pure Heart Bloodline can perfectly solve this problem. The full-rated epic bloodline item, the so-called immunity, should be more than just reducing the control effect.
Moreover, this is a bloodline from a native world with a smaller number, and it is probably also has a higher development potential, not inferior to his Thunder God Fruit, and worth eating.
"How much?"
Lu Li asked.
"She said 500,000, no bargaining."
Black Lily relayed.
