C5 Conversion System and for Sale

This shop was bathed in pleasant lighting. Behind the service counter stood a cabinet reminiscent of a pharmacy, yet its transparent doors allowed every customer to clearly see the vibrant colors of the ingredients within.

"What can I get for you?" asked the waitress, a girl with a sweet demeanor.

Lin Yi didn't rush to answer, his gaze drifting to the shelves behind her.

Soul Grass (72 years): Harvested from the heart of the forest.

Purpose: Enhances the spiritual bond between humans and Familiars, aiding in the improvement of their rapport.

Yellow Grass (102 years): Sourced from regions rich in earth elements.

Purpose: Slightly boosts a Familiar's compatibility with earth elements, enhancing the potency of their Earth Element skills.

Water Essence (Bronze Two): Extracted from the essence of the Luminous Clam, an aquatic creature.

Purpose: Increases a Familiar's affinity for water elements and supports the growth of water-based Familiars, making it a favored food among them.

...

The quality was quite impressive!

Lin Yi left the store with a smile. He had purchased everything he needed at very low prices, thanks to his expertise. By exploiting a hack, Lin Yi could precisely identify the names, ages, functions, and origins of various ingredients, leaving the impression that he was a peer in the trade.

"Soul Grass, Yellow Grass, Water Essence" – these three items cost him only a thousand, which was a steal compared to what others paid.

The bulk of his purchase was attribute spars.

"Water essence stone (*2), earth essence stone (*2), Frost Gem (*10)" – Attribute spars typically fetched a market price of a thousand, while the No Attribute Frost Gem, used only as an energy source for other items, was priced at five hundred due to its limited use in Familiar cultivation.

All in all, he spent a total of ten thousand.

Why did Lin Yi buy so many No Attribute Frost Gems? Was it excess wealth? No! The reason was...

Low-Priced Gold Spar (Absorbable x1)

Low-Priced Wood Spar (Absorbable x1)

Low-Priced Water Essence Stone (Absorbable x1)

Low-Priced Fire Spar (Absorbable x1)

...

Low-Priced Frost Gem (Absorbable x1)

Upon seeing the conversion system light up, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile.

It turned out the energy levels of the various low-cost spars were quite similar; it was just that ordinary people couldn't utilize them. This was precisely the opportunity Lin Yi had been waiting for.

Having uncovered the secret of the conversion system, Lin Yi was eager to return home and give it a try.

...

In his room...

Lin Yi had ten Frost Gems laid out before him, silently chanting in his mind: "Absorb!"

Sizzle!

Lin Yi carefully reviewed the seven items now available for exchange.

He found that each of these items was incredibly useful for getting started—offering protection, aiding growth, and covering daily needs.

And the prices were a steal. After all, explosive life-saving potions could cost thousands, if not tens of thousands, elsewhere. Not to mention consumables like antidote and recovery pills.

So, if Lin Yi chose to, he could flip these items a few times and quickly become incredibly wealthy.

But Lin Yi was no fool. To avoid attracting unwanted attention, he would not openly engage in large-scale selling.

The evening had settled in, and Lin Yi glanced at the time, noting he still had two hours before midnight.

He pondered for a moment, then silently invoked the Titan Power Pill (10).

Zi Zi!

Purchase successful! Retrieved silently!

Remaining energy points: zero.

...

"Shh! Tiny, no barking!" Lin Yi, who had stealthily crept out of the room, clamped Tiny's muzzle.

"Wuwu ~"

"Good! I have to step out for a bit. You be good and guard the house, okay?" Seeing that Tiny grasped his instructions, Lin Yi released his hold and quietly made his exit.

Familiarity breeds ease.

Lin Yi once again hailed a cab to the trading center.

Surveying the brightly lit and lively trade street, he mused, "It's no surprise they say some deals are best kept out of the light. These folks really are night owls."

This time, Lin Yi didn't linger on trade street, heading straight for the shop he had visited earlier in the day.

"Esteemed sir, how may I assist you?" greeted the same girl with the sweet voice.

However, Lin Yi was now clad in a black hoodie and a mask devoid of expression, so the girl didn't recognize him.

"Caw! What's your name, lovely lady?" Lin Yi cackled eerily, reaching out as if to touch the girl's face, resembling a seasoned eccentric.

"Sir, I must ask you to conduct yourself properly," Deng Xiaorou said, stepping back. "My name is Deng Xiaorou, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't jest with me."

"Oh, alright then," Lin Yi nodded. "I've got ten pills here. Are you interested in them?"

Deng Xiaorou paused, surprised at the sudden straightforwardness of the odd man. "Ah... Yes, we'll take them."

That settled it; Lin Yi had no desire to hawk his wares on trade street.

"May I inquire about the effects of these pills, sir?" Deng Xiaorou asked cautiously, eyeing the small blue and white pills in her palm.

"Their effect? They enhance the user's strength."

"How much of an increase?"

Lin Yi's mouth quirked into a smile, "Double."

"Double... double?" Deng Xiaorou was completely bewildered.

"Ha! What did you think? It's not permanent, just a burst effect." Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at her confused expression, inadvertently slipping back into his natural voice.

Deng Xiaorou thought, This voice sounds familiar, doesn't it?

"Oh, and how long does it last?"

"Cough! Thirty minutes!" Lin Yi coughed, disguising his voice once more into the odd tone he'd used before.

At that moment, Deng Xiaorou was too taken aback to notice Lin Yi's odd antics and said with a look of astonishment, "Sir, I can't decide on this. I need to consult with the manager."

...

Ultimately, when Lin Yi walked out of the store, he was a man whose net worth had soared to 100,000.

All nine pills had been successfully sold at 10,000 each. The last pill was taken by the manager for testing – naturally, he needed to verify that he wasn't being swindled.

Nevertheless, the manager compensated by buying the remaining nine pills at a price above the market rate.
