Chapter 172 - Chapter 124: Item Refresh, Fortune Smiles (Part 2)

Dumb brother, dumb, dumb, dumb!

If it's eighty million, then it's even higher than Nojiko, would she still care so much about the News Bird!

"It really was eighty thousand, you just woke up then, and were talking to me while reading the newspaper, so you probably didn't notice and saw it wrong."

Robin smiled and came under the sun umbrella, placing the coffee next to Shano, "Captain, your coffee."

"Thanks."

Shano casually picked up the coffee and took a sip.

He glanced at Nami, whose cheeks were puffed up, and couldn't help but laugh, casually offering comfort:

"Alright, I remembered wrong. Don't worry about it, rest assured, this time it's sure to skyrocket."

After all, this time Ah Yin didn't even make a move while staying on the ship.

And Nami, in order to prove herself, used all kinds of glamorous large-scale moves throughout, making the people on the shore exclaim constantly.

The intelligence department at Navy Headquarters, unless they're really just a bunch of fools who only know how to hold meetings and display PPTs.

Otherwise, it's absolutely impossible to get it wrong again this time.

"Hopefully..." Nami leaned on the railing, still looking listless.

Shano shrugged, no longer paying much attention to his sister. While sipping his coffee, he opened the system marketplace.

The trading market has refreshed.

Now, it's time to start the second favorite part, online shopping!

It's been a while.

The last time he browsed the market was before going to Little Garden.

That time, luck wasn't great, most of the ten items were unusable, and he only bought two in total.

But this time.

The goddess of luck seemed to finally shine upon him.

As soon as he clicked in, the first item refreshed instantly caught Shano's interest.

[Stealing Deck]

[Type: Consumable]

[Price: 2000 points]

[Description: Purchase to obtain five "Stealing" cards. Each use allows you to randomly seize an item from anyone in your line of sight, regardless of distance. Can be used for free once to view effects.]

[Seller's Note: "Steal!"]

Although the note is a bit inexplicable, the effect is quite practical.

As long as the target appears in sight, you can directly seize an item?

This seems tailor-made for him.

In the future, there will certainly be occasions when he encounters top-level opponents where it's inconvenient to stealthily steal close up; these cards will be useful then.

Besides, five cards mean five opportunities, all for just 2000 points.

That's only 400 points each, quite a bargain.

Buy it, next item!

...

[Tapping Staff]

[Type: Permanent Item]

[Price: 3000 points]

[Description: A magical staff that, once placed in your inventory slot, automatically teaches you the Knocking Skill. This skill allows you to instantly unlock any locked item in front of you—doors, chests, chains, mechanisms... a gentle tap, and nothing can remain shut.]

[Seller's Note: "Deep in Boder's Gate bank vault, the agony of not bringing the Knocking Skill, who understands? Waah!"]

Can it unlock anything?

This has such a wide range of uses, Shano didn't hesitate much and added it to his cart directly.

The items are good, but...

Why does it feel like I'm running further away on the path to becoming Pirate King?

With these two items in hand, I can't even imagine how advanced my Stealing Skill will become.

Laugh Tale, it's right before my eyes!

...

[Prayer Spell Scroll]

[Type: Consumable]

[Price: 15000 points]

[Description: Power bestowed by the Child of Stars, this spell scroll requires no threshold to activate. The host must chant for an hour uninterrupted. Upon successful completion, it heals all injuries and ailments, and dispels all negative statuses.]

[This is a group spell and can heal up to five people at once. Each use costs an additional five thousand points.]

[Seller's Note: "As long as I'm alive, no companion will be harmed!"]

Another divine skill!

Shano sat up abruptly in excitement, almost spilling the coffee in his hand.

The price is indeed steep, a full 15000 points, the most expensive item he's seen so far, aside from some wonders whose uses are unclear!

And it has some limitations, can't be used in battle like the Immortal Bean.

But compared to its effect, what does that matter?

Each time, for five thousand points, it can instantly heal five people completely!

With this technique, does the ship even need a ship doctor?

No, no.

Shano took a big sip of coffee to calm himself down.

A ship doctor is still necessary to avoid dying from something as trivial as a fever or headache. You can't just spend five thousand points on every little thing; no matter how much money you have, that's just wasteful.

Anyway, add it to the cart immediately.

Next item!

...

[Ultraman Statue in the Pyramid]

[Type: Wonder]

[Price: 12000 points]

[Description: An ancient statue located to the right of the Ultraman Tiga Statue, shattered by Gorzan and Melba in the original timeline. Only those chosen by the light can activate it.]

[Seller's Note: "Like sunlight through the night..."]

Oh, just mentioned wonders, and here's one.

Who buys such flashy but useless things!

Shano shook his head; he's still in the growth phase, can't waste points like this.

Skip it!

...

[Yasuo's Swordsmanship Manual]

[Type: Cultivation Manual]

[Price: 2000 points]

[Description: The white-haired Sword Dao master Yasuo, after returning home, compiled his lifelong insights into Sword Dao into this book. Profound and mysterious, how much you gain depends closely on your Sword Dao talent.]

[Seller's Note: "Death is like the wind, always by my side!"]

"..."

Shano squinted.

Aren't the last two sentences of this description a bit too malicious?

Darn, can't a swordsmanship fool gain anything!

He knows nothing about Sword Dao, yet now he's become a genuine Dual-Sword Style Great Sword Master!

Sigh, but still have to grit his teeth and buy it.

He can't use it himself, probably would fall asleep after glancing at it, but on the ship, there's a certain Sword Fool Girl who's desperate for it.

——Kuina.

This girl, whom he officially appointed as Deputy Captain, is destined to become his right-hand in the future, accompanying him to the peaks of these seas.

As the captain, he should give a little boost to the girl's dream of becoming the world's greatest Great Sword Master!

Next item!

...

[Chariot Giant Transformation Card]

[Type: Consumable]

[Price: 3000 points]

[Description: Use to transform into a Chariot Giant, becoming one of the nine intelligent giants. The transformation can last up to a month and can be canceled early.]

[Seller's Note: "Beyond the sea is Pirate... Sob, I want to go to Pirate World, why am I sent here, the countdown to Earthquake has begun."]

Poor kid.

Shano sincerely wishes him to survive the Earthquake.

It's a pity; if he were switched over, the Earthquake standing on his head, the injured ones would only be the giants.

So... for someone who doesn't even fear super large giants, why would he spend three thousand points to become a Chariot Giant?

Skip this one too!

...

[Light Prism Tower]

[Type: Defense Building]

[Price: 1500 points]

[Description: One of the core defense buildings of the Red Alert Alliance Camp. Once set at the base, it becomes invisible. If it detects a hostile stranger entering the base range, it will automatically stun them with a prism of light.]

[Maximum defense alert range is fifty meters.]

[Seller's Note: "Buying one more of these today, twist your neck to the right, charge!"]

"Oh?"

Shano raised an eyebrow, a defense building?

This type of thing is something he hasn't seen before, quite practical, making him somewhat tempted.

Just not sure if it can be installed on the ship; the Endgame is sixty meters long, so if it can be placed at the ship's center, it would provide comprehensive coverage protection for the entire vessel with no dead zones or blind spots.

This way, after docking, there's no need to leave someone on guard.

During normal sailing, there's no worry about someone using a strange Fruit Ability to slip past his Observation detection and sneak aboard.
