Chapter 357: Chapter 357

The trading market in the academy was very conspicuous, with no intention of hiding. The whole market was divided into two parts, the external and the internal. The external market was where outsiders who relied on the school for business frequented.

The internal market, however, was within the school. Each area had its own market, and there was a large market at the center of the academy. The central market, however, was usually a place to sell red and green items.

What he needed to buy could be found in the No. 49 District’s trade market.

The shops around the market were orderly, not like the haphazardly placed stalls in his city. Of course, there were stalls here, too, but each stall was planned and allocated in particular locations, and other locations were not allowed to be set up without permission. These stalls also required a fee.

There were two kinds of payment methods for the academy’s stalls. One was to use a lot of academic credits to permanently secure the stall. As long as one was in the academy, the stall belonged to them.

The other was to use crystal coins to temporarily secure it, on a first-come-first-served basis.

Du You quickly processed the red items he carried, which were of course ordinary items that could only be treated as trash or materials. However, these were already quite good for an Awakener.

While Du You didn’t think highly of them, he reasoned that he couldn’t leave his personal space empty. Thus, he decided to take these items back, soon exchanging them for a large number of red crystal coins.

Next, Du You went to a nearby pharmaceutical store to replenish the medicines he had consumed. Having been surrounded by those black men in Other World Gourd Island for seven days, the medicines Du You carried were almost exhausted.

However, when he arrived at the pharmaceutical store, Du You eyes widened. "Elixirs that restore magic power and Dou Qi, and even other types of restoring elixirs! I didn’t expect to find so many here. Although the prices are high, they are not expensive." He didn’t mind losing some crystal coins in the trade as he had plenty.

Soon, Du You picked out the medicines he needed. There were usually two types of mana-restoring potions. One that restored a fixed amount of magic power, and another that restored a percentage of it.

With his high mana, using the latter, which could restore a percentage of it, was economically more efficient than the former which restored a fixed amount.

"Low grade mana restoration potion. If used by an Awakener, it can restore 10% of magic power at once, with a 30 minute interval between uses. This is quite a good potion, just didn’t expect the immediate recovery potions to also have a time limit."

Without thinking, Du You purchased more than twenty vials of it. It wasn’t because he did not want to buy more, but because it was already all the stock in the store.

During the Awakener phase, as everyone’s magic power is not much, such potions that restore a percentage of magic power did not sell well. The overall recovery effect was similar to other potions, but the price was too high. These potions were generally just displayed for viewing. Who would have thought that someone would be able to purchase so many at once?

Following that were the healing potions. There was no percentage-based healing this time.

There were many types of healing potions: those that healed internal injuries, those that healed external wounds, and those that simply repaired limb defects. They couldn’t make limbs regenerate, at most they made wounds heal and did not affect him.

Du You pondered and decided to buy some. Although they were quite expensive, and although the next battle would be his last as an Awakener, Du You still wanted to be fully prepared.

After making a large purchase of potions, Du You excitedly walked forward. "It should be about time."

Looking at the time on his wristwatch, Du You quickly arrived at a free trade market. Not long after, the people he had scheduled to meet here arrived. Like Du You, they had all activated their disguises.

Even though it was in school, you could still get into trouble if you let your guard down. Therefore, as long as there were trading activities, people would usually disguise themselves to prevent possible disputes or from being targeted. Even within the school, it would be dangerous if one recklessly revealed their wealth.

Once the two were seated, the small private room was separated from prying eyes.

"The griffin eggs are ready, right?" the other party asked Du You first.

Yes, Du You was going to sell two high-grade Griffin eggs, one at a time. This was because high-grade Griffin eggs were very precious and not generally attainable.

Du You took out a Griffin egg, and the other party looked at it. The details were immediately displayed on the panel.

"Alright, here’s what you asked for." The other party also took out what they brought.

Summon scroll of the Hungry Wolf Legion: it summons fifty level-9 Hungry Wolf Legion members for a duration of one hour. (Bright white, 1/1)

Du You nodded, accepted the two scrolls, got the white crystal coins compensation from the other party, and then completed the transaction.

The other party left the place, but Du You did not. He stayed and waited because he had arranged to meet two people. Ten minutes later, another person arrived.

Like the first person, the second person was also disguised. It could only be discerned from the voice that the latter was a woman.

Du You didn’t waste words, taking out the remaining high-grade Griffin egg and placing it directly in front of her. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

After checking, the woman took out what she brought to trade. This time, it was a schematic needed for the territory. It seems that Capital University was unique, as one could even find schematics for territories here.

Of course, to keep it confidential, Du You didn’t say a word during the whole process. It was a silent trade. The other party was also evidently disinclined to reveal her identity. Like Du You, besides the initial inquiry, there was no redundant chatter.

City wall blueprint (Permanent): Allows the establishment of a five-meter-high city wall made of wood and stone.

That’s right, apart from the Lord’s Mansion, the next most crucial thing for a territory is the city wall, since there are many dangers in the Other World. Without walls to resist, there’s no protection at all.

This was a permanent schematic, meaning as long as there was suitable material, it could be used forever. If you spoke of its value, it was even higher than that of his Griffin eggs.

This time, Du You compensated the other party with five hundred red crystal coins to make up for the difference. This was the only structural schematic of the territory listed by normal people in the trade market.

It’s evident that even in Capital University, these schematics were not things you could easily find. Du You didn’t know if there would be any in the central trade market, but he was clearly not planning on going there now.
