Chapter Two-in-One
Ye Zhongming raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Scrolls are quite rare, and yet there are people specifically selling them?
When Ye Zhongming and the others approached, they were somewhat surprised.
According to reason, the place selling scrolls should be busier than the one selling the Sand Soldier Music Box, but it was surprisingly quiet here. Aside from Ye Zhongming, there were only two people squatting by a white cloth, reading the scroll descriptions written on it.
Ye Zhongming also went over to take a look. He was genuinely astonished when he saw that there were actually over a hundred scrolls here! Moreover, there was only one person selling these scrolls, a… judging by appearance, he should be South American? At least to Ye Zhongming, this person exhibited distinct Mestizo characteristics.
However, after just being curious, Ye Zhongming turned his attention to the white cloth, which detailed the scrolls’ information.
Professional scrolls… eleven in total, including Brawler, Rending Claw User, Sleep Master, etc.
Skill scrolls… twenty-three in total, including Impact Technique, Earthquake Technique, Traction Technique, etc.
Status scrolls… fifteen in total, including Frenzy Scroll, Careful Scroll, and Beginner Dispel Scroll, among others.
And there were as many as over fifty… attribute enhancement scrolls!
Indeed, among these scrolls, Ye Zhongming did not find the Class Promotion Scroll or Equipment Upgrade Scroll that he was hoping for, which left him somewhat disappointed. However, the sheer number was enough to astonish him.
Ye Zhongming even suspected that even if the security in the Holy City was good, this place ultimately wasn’t like Cloud Summit Villa, which belonged to a single faction. Here, there were all kinds of people, with gangs flourishing. With over a hundred scrolls gathered together, wouldn’t someone be tempted? In this apocalypse, moral rules had faded away to almost nothing, and under the allure of wealth, how could no one attempt theft?
He glanced at the middle-aged South American man selling the scrolls, and Ye Zhongming was slightly surprised to see that he was actually at the six-star level.
However, compared to that team leader, the middle-aged South American man’s aura was obviously much weaker, appearing quite harmless at least.
Connecting all these dots, Ye Zhongming formed a conjecture in his mind.
The two people who had just checked the introduction and talked with the South American man, after inquiring about the price, left helplessly upon receiving an answer they couldn't accept.
Ye Zhongming naturally overheard their conversation and was surprised that the South American man offered a condition he hadn’t anticipated: these scrolls were not to be sold separately, but as a whole.
The price for over a hundred scrolls was… two bottles of Seven-Star Evolution Potion.
Even someone wealthy like Ye Zhongming felt a sting upon hearing that price.
It’s important to note that with the wealth of Cloud Summit, there were only two seven-star evolvers, and Ye Zhongming was also striving for a third bottle of Seven-Star Evolution Potion. Yet, these scrolls were being demanded at the price of two bottles of Seven-Star Evolution Potion, and they would not be split up. No wonder this place was deserted, with no one inquiring.
So, were these scrolls really worth two bottles of Seven-Star Evolution Potion?
After carefully reviewing the detailed descriptions above, Ye Zhongming pondered and felt that, remarkably, the pricing was about right. It was evident that the person selling the scrolls wasn’t quoting outlandishly; he understood the current demand from evolvers quite well.
However, even if they were indeed worth that much, this person still employed a sales method of leveraging the strong over the weak, and the good over the mediocre. This was probably also the reason he insisted on selling them as a whole.
For instance, among the professional scrolls, there were good professions, as well as not-so-good ones. Among the skill scrolls, some skills were excellent while others were somewhat lackluster. For attribute enhancement scrolls, some offered significant boosts while others provided only slight improvements.
