Kai was in a conundrum.
On one hand, he desired the replicas worth 25000 Mission Credits as much as he had desired power itself. There was not an ounce of doubt in his mind that these Items were the keys to becoming even more powerful in the Random Worlds for him.
On the other hand, he already feared losing them.
Kai had 14600 Mission Credits on him. Even if he invested the entire amount in trading the sabers, he would still need to pay 10400 Mission Credits more. Moreover, other than the Book and the Sling Ring, he didn't have anything on him that could meet the price.
The Book was out of the question. So, only the Sling Ring remained.
However, Kai remembered what Simon had done to it, rubbing off its restriction to be used by Sparrow between his fingers. Even if he had been an utter fool, he would have realized that there were some complex processes involved in obtaining the Sling Rings, especially when only one Contestant could use them.
I can't trade Sling Ring, either, Kai reflected, frowning. It's gonna come in handy in future missions. Tch!
Then there was one more thing.
If he didn't pay all the Mission Credits in one go, then the other party would get too suspicious. What kind of 4th-Set Contestant traded cheap Items to meet the price tag of two Low-level Uncommon Items?
No. This was just too risky. Contestants, by nature, always remained suspicious of each other.
I must complete the trade in one go, Kai nodded to himself, thinking of a solution. Let's... not shift away from the material wealth then.
-I will buy both,- he hissed, gambling on his next words. -For price, I will trade info. If the information is worth more than the price of the Items, then you can think about covering the gap.-
[Info? Hmm... Information is always welcomed. What's it about? You must know that even if it has a higher price than the Items, if I already know it, then it wouldn't be of any value to me.]
Kai wasn't stupid.
He had already thought of something which no other Contestant would know. At least not so easily, as, to know what info, one must have a very high Worth.
-I heard the next Tournament of Worth is coming up,- Kai hissed. -Would you like to know more about Glitches?-
[WHAT?! I mean, yes. Yes. Of course. Sorry, my lord. I lost my composure.]
Kai's lips twitched again. The sudden outburst did surprise him. But he refrained from asking the cause behind it.
He muted the conversation and uploaded the info.
What he shared wasn't exactly what Chaos had told him. It was just a line. Even if someone knew it, they couldn't make head or tail of it without accessing the full picture. Still, this line was something that his Privilege had offered him, having a foundation of 100 Worth Points.
It should be enough, Kai thought, seeing the line. It should be more than enough.
That line was -
The Individualities when manifested are called Glitches.
