I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 141

Chapter 141

Fang Bai’s abacus was actually clicking away furiously.

Although the most valuable things in the spatial rift, in Fang Bai’s opinion, were the elemental architectures and the knowledge they contained, Fang Bai also wanted the items inside!

But Fang Bai didn’t want to fight with those skeletons. It would be a waste of his time recording the spell architectures.

Fang Bai wanted both the fish and the bear’s paw.

Time had to be used to record the spell architectures, so those items could only be obtained from these three people.

Robbery?

Although in Fang Bai’s view, killing a person was no harder than killing a chicken, he was still bound by a sense of morality.

Fang Bai had thought about the matter of killing and robbing for a long time and came to the conclusion that he couldn’t indulge himself.

Not because of others, but because it could easily lead to self-destruction.

What makes a person human is not just being alive, but also these intangible things.

Heh, now Fang Bai was being moral again.

However, the previous experience of using spell scrolls to buy live magical beasts had given Fang Bai a taste of the benefits.

Transaction!

Trade and offer bounties with things he had, things he could easily make, but things that others would find hard to refuse.

Money couldn’t buy everything, but it could really buy everything in the world that had a price.

This was much better than robbing others.

Hearing Fang Bai’s price, the archer immediately spoke.

“Three Water Shield Spells, two Blood-red Shields, round it down, can I get them for ten crystal cores?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then give them to me first. Also, how much are the Fireball and Lightning Spells?”

“Fireball is one liter, Lightning Spell is one point five.”

“Give me one of each to try. Two crystal cores, okay?”

Fang Bai couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Brother, what’s your surname? You’ve made me round down the price twice in one purchase, directly wiping off one crystal core.”

“My humble surname is Li, Li Jian. Hey, I’m not exactly flush with crystal cores either. Every little bit helps. And it’s a trial run. If I find them useful, I’ll buy them in bulk next time.”

“You haven’t even bought them yet, but you’re already painting me a pie. My name is Fang Bai, Fang of direction, Bai of daytime. Are you also surnamed Li? There seem to be quite a few people with the surname Li here. Are you from the Li family of Shen Shan Town?”

Fang Bai saw Li Jian take out twelve crystal cores from a bag. He was slightly surprised that he carried the crystal cores with him, but didn’t say anything. He immediately counted out the corresponding spell scrolls and handed them to Wang Kai, asking him to take them over.

“Just unfold them to use.”

Wang Kai roughly explained how to use them. The archer waited for Wang Kai to put the scrolls on the ground before coming over to pick them up.

“Well, I’m from the fourth branch of the Li family, but it’s just that we all share the surname Li. There’s no such thing as a family anymore. They’re all small families.”

Li Jian said with a smile. He immediately used a Water Shield Spell. The other two immediately patted it with their hands. Seeing that it was quite resilient, they drew their knives and attacked, gradually increasing their strength until the Water Shield shattered.

When the Water Shield shattered, all three were slightly surprised. They exchanged glances and immediately made a group purchase of a total of fifty spell scrolls from Fang Bai. Li Jian still did the bargaining and managed to shave off another four crystal cores from the total.

However, when it came to payment, without exception, they all paid with crystal cores, without using any of the items collected from the spatial rift, which left Fang Bai quite depressed.

Fang Bai had come specifically for these items, and they had also realized this. They actually managed to scrape together enough crystal cores from their bodies, which was ridiculous.

“Why do you carry so many crystal cores with you? It’s ridiculous.”

Fang Bai complained. The three of them smiled but didn’t answer. After this transaction, the relationship between the two sides had become much closer, especially after they saw Fang Bai’s backpack full of spell scrolls.

It had to be said that these spell scrolls were not only weapons and armor but also a simple and effective social tool. Whether kind or vicious, wary or harboring ill intentions, spell scrolls could make everyone put aside their worries and chat with you calmly.

After the transaction, Fang Bai spoke again.

“By the way, what’s the name of the brother who lured the monsters? I’d like to meet him and exchange some ideas.”

“Him? His name is Song Qing. I’ll introduce you when I have the chance.”

“Okay.”

Fang Bai nodded.

“Then, when are you planning to go to the spatial rift next time?”

Seeing the three of them looking at him, Fang Bai continued.

“I’m also quite interested in that place. I’d like to hitch a ride. Don’t worry, I won’t bring anyone else, just me and him.”

Fang Bai pointed at Wang Kai and continued.

“I won’t be a freeloader either. You four, take me in once, call me when you leave, and I’ll give each of you ten spell scrolls every time.”

Fang Bai paused for a moment and then continued.

“Also, I just noticed that Brother Song Qing seems to be using the Minor Spell Gust of Wind to use a hang glider.

Casting spells on the spot can easily lead to accidents. If the spell fails, the consequences could be disastrous.

If needed, I can help customize Minor Spell level spell scrolls with stronger wind power and lower casting difficulty. They can be used as soon as they’re unfolded, without any preparation, and there’s no possibility of casting failure.

If needed, I’ll cover the Minor Spell scrolls for his monster luring!”

The three, who had been somewhat wary, were immediately tempted. After a moment, the archer spoke.

“We can’t make this decision on our own. We definitely need Song Qing’s consent. How about this, we’ll go back and discuss it. But how do we inform you after we reach a decision?”

Fang Bai immediately knew that it was a done deal and said,

“If I’m not in the city, I’ll be in Yi Hao Village in Shen Shan Town. If you ask around in Shen Shan Town, you should be able to find me.

And I’ll be in the city for this period of time. If you want to contact me, just write a letter and leave it here, pressed down with a brick. I’ll reply by leaving a letter here too.”

“That works. Then… farewell?”

Seeing the archer looking at him after finishing his sentence, Fang Bai immediately understood what he meant. He immediately turned around and left with Wang Kai. Finding a patch of dirt, he burrowed into the ground. Underground, Fang Bai finally felt a sense of security again.

Just now, above ground, although he had been holding onto spells the entire time, he really didn’t feel safe, because within Fang Bai’s perception range alone, there were many powerful auras left behind by magical beasts.

Powerful magical beasts often roamed this area, and the residual auras were very obvious. They should all be Second-Order Magical Beasts.

More importantly, the steel giant elephant was only 500 meters away. If it was really attracted, it would be difficult to escape even by burrowing.

After Fang Bai left, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Bai had put a lot of pressure on them, especially with that backpack full of spell scrolls.

They felt that they had become calmer. After Fang Bai left, the archer said,

“What do you think?”
