Chapter 1537 Shop

In a certain small base.

A pair of people were happily discussing a few things. However, they soon arrived at a weird topic.

"Hey, do you know that there is a merchant that is gathering Skill Cards from us? It seems that they can give us food or equipment if we can bring them Skill Cards?"

"Seriously? There's something like that? You're not kidding?"

"Of course not. I have heard that Jibel has tried it once and he's got that new sword."

"Ah, that sword?"

"Exactly. It seems that you can get a high level weapon if you can find an A Rank Skill Card. We're talking about Skill Cards, you know. They're different from Material Cards since we can still use the latter to summon the materials contained in the cards. Meanwhile, the Skill Cards are completely useless because we can't access our system anymore."

"I know. That's why I'm surprised. Are you sure we can get something like that? Who are they?"

"I don't know. However, both of them seem to be Mythical Rank Experts, so it won't be wise to steal from them unless you're ready to be killed."

"I seem to have found some Skill Cards. Maybe I should go to them and trade something…"

"Let's check the price first."

The two smirked as if they had a good plan. Unbeknownst to them, there was a figure hiding behind a tree, listening to their conversation. The person seemed to be shocked, thinking this was an opportunity as well.

Soon, the figure disappeared, planning something.

On the other hand, Felix and Akbar were sitting inside a house nonchalantly.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Felix asked.

"Of course. I even got Rea's approval." Akbar nodded. "This is another way of information gathering."

"What do you mean?"

Before Akbar answered him, he noticed someone entering his senses. As a scout, his sensing range was bigger than Felix, so he looked at the door for a while before Felix also felt it not long after.

Soon, the door was opened by two people, surprised to find them. As expected, the two people that guarded the items were Mythical Rank Experts, leaving no chance to steal from them.

"Welcome, welcome." Akbar smiled.

"We heard that you're using Skill Cards to trade for items."

"Of course. We basically turn them into points because we don't care whether the Skill Cards are useful or useless. Please take a look at the conversion rate." Akbar pointed at a board next to him.

F = 1 Point

E = 10 Points

D = 50 Points

C = 200 Points

B = 500 Points

A = 2000 Points

"2000 Points can give you a Supreme Rank Equipment." Akbar enticed them even more. A Rank Skill Card was usually used by Mythical Rank Expert since the monsters that dropped such a skill card must be Mythical Rank. This wasn't an equal transaction for them if the apocalypse didn't happen.

But now that the Skill Cards had become useless, such a thing was already beyond what they could want. So, it wasn't that hard to incite their interest.

Akbar smiled and asked, "What are you going to exchange?"

"Do you have any other items as well?"

"Of course. Here they are." Akbar smirked and showed them many items. Most of them were equipment used by Supreme Rank Experts, but there was one that actually looked better than the rest. It was sold for ten A Rank Skill Cards.

They could also see the price list of each item. It was truly surprising that the useless Skill Cards could be exchanged this way. Due to the lack of connection to the satellites, they obviously didn't know that Skill Cards were useful.

As someone who wasn't in power, they weren't that sensitive about such a thing. They only took out their bags and took out a bunch of Skill Cards. "I believe we can exchange this for more than three thousand points."

"I also have some with me. It should be enough for another one thousand. We want two Supreme Rank Weapons."

"Certainly. Let me check it first." Akbar snapped his finger as the Magic Power began moving the Skill Cards, sorting them out. Akbar was also calculating it this way, and in just one minute, Akbar smiled and said, "You have a total of 4097 Points. Which weapons do you wish to exchange?"

"This one."

"I choose this."

Both of them instantly chose their weapons as Akbar immediately gave them the weapons and said, "You two still have 97 points left. Do you need anything more?"

"Nah, dude. We have a good deal already. Just think of those points as a tip. Thanks!"

"Thank you for your patronage." Akbar smiled while seeing them off.

"What kind of information gathering were you talking about, Akbar?" Felix asked again since there was no one here.

Akbar smirked and said, "They come from the right, meaning they come from the base there. It means that their base hasn't known anything about us yet. Seeing how they behave and stuff like that, you can conclude that their living area is not that terrible. At least, the environment isn't like a bandit or cannibal group.

"Do you think you can only get information from what you see yourself? No, it's also about psychology. By making them spread rumors about us, more and more people will come to visit us, allowing us to see the kind of living environment they have.

"At the same time, we can also bring back some Skill Cards. This will be useful for us because of Theo's ability. Even if he's not planning to use it now, we can still use it later when we're living with other humans again.

"And look what we exchange? The scraps that we found on our way when investigating this area. Those items were left behind by the dying experts. So, it's basically free information, free Skill Cards, and free labor." Akbar chuckled. "I see no better deal than this."

"Don't you think we're going to be targeted this way? You're underestimating humans' greed like those people in the union."

"Why do you think you're here?" Akbar stuck his tongue out.

"…" Felix was dumbfounded, realizing that he was tasked as a bodyguard. Even if the enemies had multiple Mythical Rank Experts, they wouldn't be able to defeat him, who had an Order. That was why a single person was enough.

Akbar smirked and concluded it. "I receive your everything, and you'll think I'm giving you something good cheaply. We have a one hundred percent chance to profit."
