Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 571 - 399: Top-tier Dragon Pet, Harvesting Undead Resources!
The senior students in the audience sighed and whispered among themselves but remained firmly in their seats.
The robust male student on stage also maintained a calm expression, indifferent. This was a situation he had, in fact, anticipated.
For the Sea City Military Academy students present, Dragon Sect Spirit Pets were simply on another level.
Besides Fang Zhou, who had successfully latched onto the support of Ning Danxin, the Glory Champion Strongman, other Black Iron and even Bronze-Tier students from the academy lacked the opportunity to contract a Dragon Sect Spirit Pet.
Therefore, in the robust student’s estimation, even though the Dragon Juice Fruit was a rare resource, its market reception at this Treasure Appraisal Event was far from enthusiastic.
As the atmosphere grew cold, Fang Zhou opened his Personal Terminal and directly contacted the robust student on stage.
Truthfully, considering Fang Zhou’s personal assets, the only unique thing he could offer besides contribution points was his exclusive Marvel, the Skeleton Warhorse Bridle.
Coincidentally, the robust student was in need of various combat-effective pieces of Equipment and Marvels.
Fang Zhou felt a flicker of anticipation.
As he expected, after he sent the information about the Skeleton Warhorse Bridle, the robust student’s interest was clearly piqued.
He was only a Middle-Rank Black Iron Professional.
For him and his team, the Undead Mount summoned by Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Warhorse Bridle would be immensely useful for a long time to come.
Conversely, the fact that he was willing to trade something as rare as Dragon Juice Fruit, a type of Dragon Sect feed, indicated that neither he nor his friends had any Dragon Sect Spirit Pets to raise.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, the robust student thought to himself.
Therefore, after comparing the offers from a few other students, he decisively signed a barter contract with Fang Zhou through his Personal Terminal.
The deal was three Skeleton Warhorse Bridles for one hundred Dragon Juice Fruits.
It was an extremely worthwhile trade for both parties.
Fang Zhou stored the one hundred well-preserved Dragon Juice Fruits in his Space Storage Capsule and began mentally outlining a cultivation plan for the Black Gem Young Dragon.
The Black Gem Young Dragon could consume at least one Dragon Juice Fruit per day.
By that calculation, these one hundred fruits would last it for just over three months.
Major General Ning Danxin had previously told him that the Black Gem Young Dragon, as a rare Dragon Sect Spirit Pet from the Mythical World, possessed a formidable racial Talent.
As long as it successfully reached adulthood, it would wield the terrifying combat power of the Glory Champion Level.
Furthermore, for such exceptionally talented species, their Cultivation progressed smoothly until they reached their natural racial bottleneck.
Generally, their strength would increase naturally with the passage of time.
Of course, there was also an exceptionally extravagant cultivation method: feeding these Dragon Sect Spirit Pets precious resources.
As long as their digestive systems could keep up, allowing them to promptly convert the abundant Energy from these resources into their own foundation, their strength would grow at a terrifying rate.
Naturally, under normal circumstances, no Professional could afford such extravagance.
But Fang Zhou was different. With Major General Ning Danxin’s support and the newly acquired Dragon Juice Fruit from this trade, he was confident he could provide the best cultivation conditions for the Black Gem Young Dragon.
「...」
After several more students had their turn, it was finally time for Fang Zhou to ascend the Treasure Appraisal Platform.
Over the past few days of trading markets and auctions, Fang Zhou had already acquired nearly all the resources he needed.
His purpose for attending this Treasure Appraisal Event was actually quite simple.
On one hand, he wanted to broaden his horizons and get a sense of the wealth of the senior students at Sea City Military Academy. On the other, he was mainly looking to see if there were any other resources that interested him and do his best to acquire them.
Successfully trading for the Dragon Juice Fruit in the earlier appraisal segment had already been an unexpected bonus.
Therefore, as he took the stage this time, Fang Zhou had no particular expectations.
Following the rules of the event, Fang Zhou once again projected an image of his Skeleton Warhorse Bridle onto the Treasure Appraisal Platform.
During the nightly auctions over the preceding days, Fang Zhou had sold one Skeleton Warhorse Bridle each night, with prices ranging from seven to eight hundred contribution points.
As a result, the students at the appraisal event were quite familiar with Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Warhorse Bridles, which were known for their excellent quality and high price.
Fang Zhou didn’t waste any more breath introducing his prized creation. Instead, he stated directly, "I have my last two Skeleton Warhorse Bridles available for trade.
I’m looking for Undead Attribute resources or special resources that can enhance Soul Nourishment efficiency for Black Iron-grade Magic Professionals.
Are any of you seniors interested in a trade?"
The Sea City Military Academy students below regarded Fang Zhou with a new solemnity, their gazes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.
Part of this was due to Fang Zhou’s personal charisma, but it was also bolstered by the allure of the No. 1 Seed Medal and the New Recruit Competition Champion medal he wore.
Of course, on his attribute panel, his No. 1 Seed and King of New Recruits titles also played a crucial role.
All these factors combined to automatically make Fang Zhou the center of attention the moment he stepped onto the platform.
At the same time, they grew quite interested in what exactly Fang Zhou wanted to exchange for his items.
After all, over the last few days, everyone had become rather familiar with the Skeleton Warhorse Bridles he crafted.
Fang Zhou had only been Awakened for a little over half a year, and he had spent that entire time in diligent Cultivation at the academy without venturing out on any expeditions.
In such a sheltered environment, he not only broke through his bottlenecks to become a rare Black Iron-Tier Undead Mage but also took on the Alchemist Sub-profession, achieving a profound level of skill.
What shocked everyone even more was that he could somehow craft his own exclusive Marvels.
This simply exceeded the wildest imaginations of all the students present.
"He’s sold so many Skeleton Warhorse Bridles, and he still has more?" a student murmured in disbelief.
"This is what you call a once-in-a-generation genius!
From Meditation and Cultivation to magic theory, alchemy, and forging, Fang Zhou seems to have no weaknesses.
Truly, comparison is the thief of joy."
"He’ll probably have a hard time getting his hands on Undead Attribute resources.
As for Soul-Nourishing Resources, there might be a chance if someone is willing to trade their personal share for one of his bridles."
Some of the senior students, who were all quite familiar with one another, discussed the matter in low voices.
Standing on the stage, Fang Zhou felt the complex gazes from the crowd but remained exceptionally calm.
"No one?" Fang Zhou waited a moment, but no traders spoke up.
He didn’t feel much disappointment, however.
The Dragon Juice Fruit he had obtained was already enough to make his attendance at the Treasure Appraisal Event worthwhile.
Just as Fang Zhou was about to step down, a voice called out, "Hold on, Fang Zhou. I think... I can trade for your Skeleton Warhorse Bridle." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Fang Zhou quickly turned toward the voice, which belonged to a female student he didn’t recognize.
Although the other students were puzzled, they suppressed their curiosity and watched quietly.
Someone is actually willing to trade Undead Attribute or Soul-Nourishing Resources for the Skeleton Warhorse Bridle? Fang Zhou was pleasantly surprised.
He asked, "May I ask what you are offering in trade, Senior?"
The female student furrowed her brows. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said decisively, "I’ll trade these Sleeping Nether Soils."
She displayed her item for trade: a piece of what appeared to be ordinary black soil, but it was far heavier than any regular dirt. Most striking was the faint, almost imperceptible aura of death clinging to its surface, which sent an involuntary chill down one’s spine.
The surrounding students let out soft gasps of astonishment the moment they saw the Sleeping Nether Soil.
One of them whispered, "This... this is actually Sleeping Nether Soil?!"
