Chapter 221 Chapter220-Golden Skill Scroll (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
In the end, the Treasure Thief Rat acquiesced to John's demand for three treasures.
As for whether he did so willingly, that was outside of John's realm of concern.
John meticulously scanned the attributes of the trading items that the rat had presented anew, aiming to select the most enticing equipment and items.
"First, retrieve the Backpack Expander for me. That will be my first chosen item for this trade," with a grand gesture, John commanded.
Reluctantly, the Treasure Thief Rat took out the Backpack Expander from his treasure trove.
It had caught John's eye immediately.
Compared to regular players, John, with his towering strength, was in dire need of this Divine item that could expand bag space.
Given his prowess, he tackled bosses of higher levels, and after each battle, the loot in terms of equipment, items, and various consumables were always abundant.
In fact, if John didn't now minimize the potions for mana and health in his bag, he would've long run out of space.
Since his first day in town, he had spent a colossal amount of gold coins with the warehouse manager to expand his bag to its 300-slot limit.
But even then, his bag was brimming.
The items in John's backpack were almost exclusively top-tier equipment and rare items.
For instance, the Cloud Sea Ore alone took up ten slots in his bag.
Such was the system design in Godslayer; the more precious the item, the more slots it occupied.
Now, John pondered which equipment or item of equal grade he should offer in exchange for the Backpack Expander.
Opening his bag and deliberating for a moment, John finally pulled out an item.
The instant the Treasure Thief Rat glimpsed it, his mischievously round eyes ignited with a fervent blaze.
"By the heavens... What am I seeing? This gently flowing crimson liquid, why does it resemble the fresh blood of some creatures? But the energy contained within is astoundingly vast. What tier of being could this come from?" the Rat murmured to himself.
In John's grasp, two orbs of glowing blood levitated.
They glinted luminously, each distinct from the other, their radiance captivating under the dim light.
This crimson liquid was none other than the Undead serpent essence blood that John had collected earlier.
For the incubation conditions of the pet egg left behind by Queen Medusa, one was required to collect the essence blood of seven different Undead serpent lords.
Although John hadn't invested all his efforts into this task, with a stroke of occasional luck over time, he had managed to collect the essence blood of two types:
[Essence Blood of Yggdrasil...]
[Essence Blood of the Bone Serpent...]
The hatching conditions for Medusa's pet egg stipulated that only ten liters of essence blood were required from each Undead serpent lord.
The amount John had gathered each time significantly exceeded this figure.
Excluding the essence blood needed to hatch the pet egg, the surplus held no real value for John.
Such biologically reminiscent substances held just one utility: they could be handed over to elite alchemists for concocting special elixir consumables.
However, for John, such potions were redundant.
Thus, after careful consideration, John chose to present the surplus essence blood as the price for the Backpack Expander.
In John's eyes, although the mystical Treasure Thief Rat could obtain numerous treasures through theft, it could never directly extract essence blood from mighty lord bosses.
Lacking any combat prowess, it was outmatched by these lordly bosses.
Hence, this essence blood must be something never before seen in the Treasure Thief Rat's trove...
As John had surmised, the moment he revealed the essence blood of the two serpent lords, the Treasure Thief Rat became ecstatic.
"Wonderful stuff! Truly top-tier! With so much primal blood, how many astonishing elixirs could one concoct?" The Rat passionately muttered, greedily eyeing the twin orbs of essence blood floating in John's grasp.
Its avaricious nature even made it overlook the intimidating aura John exuded.
All it saw were treasures...
"So, shouldn't you consider revising your quirky rule?" John casually swirled the two orbs of essence blood in his hand, teasingly inquiring, "After all, it's an equal value trade. It's not a loss for you. Why insist on trading just one item at a time?"
The Treasure Thief Rat was jolted from its reverie, eyeing John warily. "Cursed human, what do you mean by that? You aren't thinking of hiking the price, are you?"
John scoffed, replying exasperatedly, "What a greedy creature you are. When did I ever say I'd raise the price?"
The Treasure Thief Rat chuckled awkwardly, the wariness in its eyes unabated.
At its core, it exuded pure greed, an insatiable longing for treasures.
It wished, more than anything, that all the world's treasures would come to it without a price.
The very concept of bartering, a fair exchange of goods, was abhorrent to it.
If not for the rules binding it, the Treasure Thief Rat wouldn't willingly part with any of the treasures it had painstakingly gathered, especially not through a fair trade.
John nonchalantly tossed the extra essence blood towards the Treasure Thief Rat, saying with a hint of impatience, "Enough. Since you recognize the value of this item, let's consider our first trade complete. Hand over the item quickly."
Reluctantly, the Treasure Thief Rat handed over the Backpack Expander.
Hearing John's impatient tone made it feel on the verge of tears.
By heavens, if it weren't trapped within this peculiar space, it would have fled immediately after the trade.
Why would it linger to complete the trades for the remaining two items?
[System Notification: You have obtained a legendary item (Spatial Backpack Expander).]
[System Notification: You have used the legendary item (Backpack Expander). Backpack space expanded to 600 slots. Current available slots: 356.]
The moment he received the Backpack Expander, John promptly placed it in his inventory and activated it.
What was a slightly cramped storage space expanded in an instant, doubling its previous capacity.
John nodded in satisfaction and said with a light chuckle, "Very well. Now, let's see what I should choose as our second treasure..."
The Treasure Thief Rat remained silent, its beady eyes watching intently.
Previously, when Blue Sea and Adam were selecting their coveted treasures, John had simply observed from the side.
Hence, he was already privy to the attributes of the treasures they chose.
However, since Blue Sea and Adam had completed their trades, the information on the subsequent items remained a mystery.
There were still numerous details to browse through, and John wondered just how many valuable treasures were hidden within the Treasure Thief Rat's trove.
John extended his hand, gently swiping the information panel before him, and looked further down the list.
[Skill Scroll (Soaring Glide): Golden (legendary) skill. Upon activation, energy wings materialize behind the user, granting the ability to soar through the skies. Increases movement speed by 110%. During the skill's duration, the usage of other skills remains unaffected. Duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: 24 hours. Skill learning requirement: Movement speed of 300 or above. Price: 4 million gold coins or equivalent equipment and items. Stock: 1.]
The first thing that caught John's eye was this shimmering golden skill scroll.
John raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise evident on his face.
A skill deemed legendary, just a tier below a divine one, was bound to be exceptional.
A 110% boost in movement speed effectively meant doubling one's pace, a truly staggering enhancement.
But what was even more extraordinary about the Soaring Glide skill was its ability to let the caster fly through the skies.
For ranged classes like mages or archers, wouldn't this skill allow them to rain down attacks from the air, untouchable and unhindered?
John stood still, deep in thought.
In reality, the skill held no real benefit for him.
He didn't need such ostentatious abilities, as he could already tread on air with his innate power.
Yet, John's interest was piqued not for himself, but because the skill seemed tailor-made for the mage and archer classes.
It's widely recognized that both mages and archers are inherently fragile classes.
Despite their impressive offensive capabilities, their defenses are almost negligible.
This is precisely why many mages and archers exhaust every means to seek out defensive equipment and items.
John's thoughts immediately drifted to Emma.
The young lady had recently advanced to the hidden class of Fire Dragon Mage.
Among her peers of the same level, her offensive prowess was unmatched.
Yet, she lacked formidable defensive tactics.
If she could learn this skill, her safety in future battles would be significantly enhanced.
After all, whether considering other players or the formidable creatures of this world, the majority of their attacks are confined to the ground.
Few abilities can target adversaries in the sky.
