Chapter 1380: Chapter 604 Jie Lin

"The City Lord is generous!"

"My character is just around Dawn City, I’ll head back to the city now." The elated War God, Frosted Fish, hurriedly finalized and controlled his character to return.

Meanwhile, Mu You also summoned a few of his avatars.

Now, Watchman and Ling Long had already discovered a Soul Lamp in their respective exploration directions, and together with Lin Xue, Little Ya and others, they teleported back to Dawn City and successfully traded the items on behalf of Mu You.

The remaining paper cranes numbered one to six were easy to handle, since only ordinary items were needed for exchanges. There were many people exchanging on the forum, and the prices were also pushed very low.

Next, Mu You browsed the forum a bit and quickly agreed with five sellers, paying a minimal amount to successfully exchange for paper cranes numbered two to five.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, eight..."

In the pet shop, Mu You placed the paper cranes he had collected on the table.

Seven types of paper cranes, indeed each one was of a different style, but all displayed ’Gift of the Ancients’ without any effects.

"Still missing ’seven’ and ’nine’ huh..."

Mu You pondered, opening his ring and calculating his own items.

He currently did not have any Seven Stars or higher items besides relics, so the needed seven and nine must be a Seven Stars Hidden Relic and a Nine Stars Hidden Relic.

Mu You actually had quite a few Hidden Relics, a total of 10 pieces, but most of them were his regularly used items, which he couldn’t afford to lose for this mission.

After carefully selecting among all the relics, Mu You finally took out a dark blue bead.

[Blessing of the Moon God: 8.5 stars, Hidden Relic, before each battle begins, if under a full moon, you receive the blessing of the Moon Goddess, automatically restoring full health.]

This relic effect was actually very strong, but effective only for followers of moon-related beliefs, and Mu You’s Secondary Belief had already been bound to the Blood God, with no likelihood of changing in the future, rendering this moon-related equipment ultimately useless to him.

As for 8.5 stars, if not mistaken, it should be possible to exchange it for a number nine paper crane with the Barbarian.

Previously when Mu You met the Barbarian, he had tried using an item later proved to be 3.5 stars to exchange for a number four paper crane, so it was likely that the Barbarian returned the paper cranes based on a rounding rule for non-integer star items.

"So we’re just missing a seven stars? Can you check how many stars this thing is?" Ling Long suddenly took out a rope from the game.

Mu You glanced at it; the rope looked familiar. After checking the name reflected in the Omniscient Crystal, he quickly remembered its origin: "That’s Little Snow’s..."

Infinite Extension Rope, one of the spoils obtained after several City Lords defeated the Swamp Demoness. As the name implies, it is said to be a rope that could stretch indefinitely, and of the eleven Hidden Relics obtained back then, it was one of the worst and ended up in Lin Xue’s hands.

"Yes, Little Snow said this thing is useless, told us to exchange it if we needed to." Ling Long nodded, urging, "First, see if this thing is 7 stars?"

"It is seven stars..." Mu You said.

Actually, this item didn’t even need star checking to guess; after all, its effect was genuinely weak, even less useful than some non-Hidden Relics. If it hadn’t been seven stars, they would have been surprised.

"So we’ve got them all together like this?" Ling Long asked.

"Yeah, you and number one take the items and try with that Barbarian," Mu You nodded.

In fact, with the Synthesis Furnace, Mu You could totally mass-produce Seven Stars to Nine Stars items, but the prerequisite was having enough materials, which was not yet feasible at this stage, hence the feeling that the items were a bit tight.

Later, when the materials are abundant, it would be completely possible to tailor-make a set of high star items for his companions.

Returning to the main topic, at this moment, Mu You’s game character was still being watched by the bandit chief and couldn’t leave, so he had to let his two avatars do it and go find the Barbarian.

Ling Long and Watchman didn’t waste any time, immediately each carrying an item towards Spider Forest.

However, the two did not appear together. After reaching the area where the Barbarian often appeared, Ling Long went first, wandering in the forest for a while, and indeed successfully lured out the Barbarian.

A moment later, Ling Long had an exquisite paper crane in her hand.

[’Gift of the Ancients—Paper Crane (7)’.]

"Sorted, your turn!" Ling Long handed the paper crane to Watchman and then controlled her character to retreat.

Watchman immediately controlled his character to head to the forest, following the direction where the Barbarian had disappeared, and soon lured out the Barbarian again.

At this moment, Mu You also shifted his game character’s viewpoint to Watchman’s side.

[You took out ’Blessing of the Moon God’ and gave it to the Barbarian.]

[The Barbarian took the crystal ball you handed over, played with it in his hands for a while, feeling the abundant energy inside, and immediately danced with joy, happily saying, "Great... This bead... absorbs moonlight at night..."]

[After saying this, the Barbarian rummaged in his own pocket for a while, took out a ’paper crane’, and stuffed it into your hand.]

[You obtained ’Gift of the Ancients—Paper Crane (9)’.]

Watching the game’s prompt, Mu You finally let go of the Pocket Watch.

The rounding rule was after all conjectured by him, and he wasn’t sure whether it applied to Hidden Relics or not; in case he traded the 8.5 stars item and failed to get the number nine paper crane, there would still be a chance to retrace and try again.

Luckily, everything went smoothly.

Thus, paper cranes numbered one to nine were all collected by them.
