Divinity!

Two Divinity Crystals!

Qin Ruo and the rest were stumped!

The original plan was to follow Hollow Cast into the member area of the Trading Hall and find out how their secret was leaked. But never did they expect to be startled with a dazzling array of equipment. Yet with all of these equipment combined, they could never be as mind-blowing as the following two Divinity Crystals shown to them!

Looking closely at the Earth Divinity and Water Divinity, which were being brought to them by Hollow Cast, the three of them could not help but hold their breaths…

In the entire H&G, where there was only a total of six supreme Tier 5 Divinity Crystals, a Trading Hall that just obtained permission to be established could gather two Divinities in three short days?!

That was just too amazing…

Just how many lucky players like Qin Ruo had found a Divinity Crystal from the Graveyard of the Gods?

As the three were deeply dumbfounded, someone walked out behind them. Hollow Cast gave a respectful bow as the person walked into the view of Qin Ruo and the rest.

A warrior, who was wearing attribute-less attire, turned around calmly to face them. He had a plain and ordinary face with a dull expression, making his name a huge mismatch with his physical appearance…

Casanova:

Angel Faction warrior.

Level 40 Ignis Swordmaster, Clan Leader of Casanova Clan.

“I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I guess I was still a step too late. Please accept my sincerest apology.” Casanova made his entrance with a simple apology, but it was able to make a good impression on Qin Ruo and the rest.

However…

Qin Ruo looked hard at the person standing in front of him and found it hard to believe that a player who could not be more ordinary and did not have a slight hint of arrogance would turn out to be Casanova—the person causing so much commotion in the peaceful virtual reality world.

He was a powerful Merchant who had rapidly risen to success!

He was a legendary figure who had gathered millions of equipment, nearly a thousand Dark Gold Equipment and dozens of Legendary Equipment, all in a short amount of time!!

‘Although I’m not as smart as he is, at least I’m a hundred times better in terms of looks. I guess this can be considered as a win for me,’ Qin Ruo silently consoled himself in his heart.

“It’s okay, we just arrived ourselves.”

In terms of handling social situations, Violet Orchid was superior to Qin Ruo and Slayer’s Heart. She quickly regained her composure from being stunned by the assortment of Dark Gold Equipment. She fixed her eyes on Casanova and got straight to the point.

“We still find it odd. Just how did you guess that Qin Ruo had a Divinity Crystal with him?”

Casanova waved his hand and summoned three chairs behind them.

“Let’s sit down and talk… Truthfully, I’ve been constantly monitoring the official site lately… The Winter Demon has left a deep impression, so I did all my research on him and made some notes.” Casanova continued to speak while he stared at Qin Ruo, “You’re very strong and very smart… Most importantly, you’re very lucky! You have a strong Pet and you’ve obtained at least three Tier 5 Miniboss Sealed Mana Cores. I did some analyses, and your success rate of obtaining a Divinity Crystal from the Graveyard of the Gods was over 80%.”

“So, you knew purely from your own deduction?”

Qin Ruo still had a hard time believing it.

Casanova smiled bitterly and got off his chair. “I understand if you don’t believe me, but rest assured, our Trading Hall will be responsible for all our clients. Keeping secrets is one of our fortes. Mr. Qin, the news about your possession of a Divinity Crystal will never be spread by us! In fact, I feel like the most important thing right now is the fact that I have a Water-element Divinity Crystal in my possession. Mr. Qin, I’m sure you’re keen to obtain it.”

“I’m guessing the owner of this Divinity Crystal won’t give it to us.” From the very beginning, Violet Orchid felt that Casanova had possessed the upper hand in the situation all along. The three of them were just going along with his flow. That feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.

Casanova’s eyebrows were lightly raised. He was slightly astonished as he finally looked at the beautiful spokeswoman next to Qin Ruo and nodded. “That’s right. Our Trading Hall is unable to decide who the merchandise belong to, especially for the highest-quality equipment within the member area. The trading process and exchange requirements of all merchandise must be approved by their original owners.”

“What you mean is, you’re still unable to tell us whether Qin Ruo’s Divinity Crystal can be exchanged with that Water-element Divinity, right? Violet Orchid pursued.

Casanova did not expect Violet Orchid’s question to hit the bullseye. His calm demeanor finally gave way to a slightly awkward expression. He nodded and answered, “Yes, it’s quite difficult. But it isn’t entirely impossible.”

“What do you mean?”

“The owners of the two Divinity Crystal offered different exchange requirements. One requires a Dark Divinity Crystal, while the other wants a Wind Divinity Crystal. If the Divinity Crystal in your possession is a Wind Divinity Crystal, the exchange can be done right away. May I know whether the Divinity in your possession is—”

“Thunder.”

Qin Ruo was slightly disappointed.

However, not the slightest discouragement was present on Casanova’s face. In fact, he seemed to be quite satisfied…as though he was very excited. Casanova said, “Thunder? Not a problem. All you have to do is consign your Divinity Crystal here. Who knows, there may be a chance to exchange it for that Water Divinity Crystal. The only catch is, it may take up a little bit of your time.”

“Huh?”

Qin Ruo was slightly stunned.

The player who consigned his or her Water Divinity Crystal wanted to trade it with a Wind Divinity Crystal. How could the exchange be carried out? Unless, a second player who owned another Water Divinity Crystal decided to appear?

Seeing how confused Qin Ruo was, Casanova smiled and explained, “As long as you leave your Divinity Crystal here, we can advertise these three crystals. I’m very sure it’ll attract more players who have their own different element crystals to consign them here at our hall. When we have more Divinity Crystals, it’ll be more possible to make arrangements for your exchange to happen… and everyone will be happy.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. They immediately understood…

That’s right! The deal did fulfill everyone’s needs. Casanova’s plan seemed to pose a reasonably huge success rate!

That way, not only could they harvest a great exchange, it could also bring up the name and credibility of the Trading Hall in terms of its Divinity trade, killing two birds with one stone. However…

“Divinities can only be obtained through killing the Tier 6 Megaboss in the Mountain Shelter. How can you be so sure that more players will bring their Divinity Crystals over and consign them here?” Violet Orchid questioned again.

“Haha! H&G has a total of 600 million players. Five hundred million of them are of Tier 4 and above. What I mean is, you’re not the only lucky ones. By rising to fame in your short time here… I have to admit, you’re very capable. But to be this famous, the credit mainly goes to that Tier 5 Miniboss, am I right? In many places that you don’t know about, various players are doing their best, just like you. It’s just that they’ve kept a lower profile and didn’t seek to duel with the Dark Dragon from the very beginning like you. That attracted everyone’s close attention. A great example is the two clients who came to our hall to consign their Divinity Crystals…They’re the same as you. None of them are Tier 5 players, otherwise, they wouldn’t have found the time to consign their Divinity Crystals with me to seek out Divinity that suit their own stats.”

Violet Orchid finally remained silent.

It was hard to admit, but what Casanova said made total sense.

Qin Ruo was also moved by his statement, and asked, “What’s the exchange process and fee for Divinity Crystals?”

“That’s the question I’ve been waiting for. How about this, before we exchange your Divinity, you and your companions can consign any of your equipment to trade for free! Once the deal is done, all the trading expenses will be covered by us. You won’t need to worry about a thing. From our side, there’s only one request. Just leave your Thunder Divinity Crystal here with us for seven days. This arrangement wouldn’t cost you a thing, I suppose?”

Qin Ruo nodded.

Seven days was still acceptable!

To quickly level-up from Level 40 to Level 49 would take more than ten days. Furthermore, the Thunder Attribute Divinity in their hands could not be used either.

Within the next seven days, Qin Ruo, Slayer’s Heart, and Violet Orchid could consign or trade any equipment, and they would not have to pay a single cent of the processing and insurance fee. It was surely a great, harmless bargain.

“All right, this settles it then.”

“Great!”

***

Once the consignment process was complete, Casanova stared at Qin Ruo’s Thunder Divinity in admiration. He turned around to face Qin Ruo. “Once our agreement matures in seven days, we’ll give you an update. Right now, you and your companions can enjoy the high-grade equipment in our member area. If anything catches your eye, just let Hollow know. I’ll be excusing myself for now.”

After Casanova left, Hollow Cast reminded the three again; as long as there was anything that caught their eyes, he could use the shortest amount of time possible to come up with a list of trading centers that would have the equipment set for different Classes… For example, if the owner of a pair of boots that Qin Ruo wanted required a Shadowmancer’s cape in exchange, and Qin Ruo did not have the specific item, Hollow Cast would search for that particular Shadowmancer’s cape, which satisfied the owner of the boots. Then, he would look at what the owner of the cape required… If there was still no suitable exchange, the search would continue.

With Hollow Cast’s assistance, Qin Ruo clearly witnessed how advantageous, efficient and flexible it was to be in the Trading Hall member area. Although he was temporarily unable to exchange any Legendary Grade Boots at that moment, he was quickly able to successfully pick out another suitable pair of Aquamancer Boots.

After Qin Ruo gathered the last piece of Dark Gold Equipment, he passed Haunting Flame and Chain Lightning’s attributes to Hollow Cast in order for him to assist in searching for Aquamancer magic skills or Titanwraith Berserker skills.

The trio then walked past Hollow Cast and left the Trading Hall.
