Chapter 9: Transaction
A game, no matter how simple it was at the beginning, after forty thousand years of development, will become quite complicated. As of now, players already know of more than ten thousand formal professions, with even more hidden or nearly forgotten professions.
For the players, it's impossible for every city to have gathering places for all professions. Therefore, most cities divide themselves by profession.
Sun City is no exception. In the southwest direction of the city, underground, there's a special area designated for players with dark attributes.
This area is part of the real-world district, so even players in a weakened state after resurrection can come here and browse.
After obtaining what he wanted, Leon came here immediately and walked into a shop he was very familiar with.
This shop, of course, had the style of a necromancer, with two crimson coffins placed directly at the entrance.
Inside the shop, it was filled with various materials for the undead. Skulls of all sizes were piled into towers, various hand bones, and leg bones were casually thrown into the corners, only some special bones were hung on the walls.
After entering the shop named Black Bone Store, Leon called out directly, "Blackie, are you there? Come out for a moment."
A person, black from head to toe, so much that even his eyes were invisible, walked out from the back of the store. Seeing Leon, he immediately tried to retreat while saying, "Kid, why are you here again? I've told you before, that item is not something you can afford."
"That may not be true. I brought something of equal value to trade today," Leon said calmly.
Blackie froze for a moment, then said, "Alright, but you have to take out your item first. I need to judge if it's real."
Leon didn't take it out but instead glanced around. "Are we doing it here?"
Blackie sighed helplessly, muttering to himself, "Fine, fine, I knew it would be like this. If you don't bring something good, I won't let you off easy."
As he spoke, Blackie opened the back door of the shop and led Leon inside.
Behind the shop was an even larger room, which was bloodier than the outside. A large number of bones were soaked in a blood pool, some skin and decayed flesh were piled separately, and various organs were stored in bottles or soaked in mercury.
However, Leon paid no attention to any of this. His gaze was fixed on a large bronze urn. The urn was about one and a half people tall and as wide as three people hugging it. The body of the urn was crimson, as if soaked in blood, and some simple patterns were carved on it. While others might not know how to use this item, an image of how to use it often flashed in Leon's memory.
Seeing Leon fixated on the urn, Blackie snorted and extended his hand toward him.
