Chapter 28

Keneji couldn't believe it. It wasn't even five minutes before Rennes refused.

With his wealth and status, in fact, he has rarely personally come forward to win newcomers to join the Mechanical Union.

Today was indeed just a coincidence. He heard from his friends near the Violet House about Ren's soul test. The talent is rare in a few years, so he was suddenly moved by his love for talent, and he rushed over immediately without hesitation to put down what he was doing.

Moreover, the conditions he offered were much higher than those of ordinary mechanics. He thought he would be able to do so, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

Keneji smiled suddenly and said, "Ren, if you think these conditions are not enough, we can talk again. There is no need to make a decision in such a hurry."

He thought that Ren was retreating and wanted to ask for higher treatment.

Ren shook his head, "Mr. Keneji, I'm not bargaining with you. The conditions you offered are already very good. As a young man of civilian origin, I can't ask for more."

"House, wealth, status, I want them all, and I believe that a mechanic can bring me all these and let me enter the upper class."

"I'm personally very interested in mechanical technology, and I have a little bit of my own experience."

"Mechanic is a very good extraordinary profession, stronger than most professions, and has broad prospects for development."

"To be honest, I would love to be a mechanic myself."

"However, mechanics have a fatal flaw."

Ren expressed his views on the mechanic very frankly, and Keneji was also listening carefully, but his expression was not very good-looking. When he heard the last sentence, he subconsciously asked, "What's the shortcoming?"

"It's not a wizard." Ren said calmly.

Kenieji was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ren meant. This reason left him speechless.

All the benefits a mechanic has, so do a wizard.

In terms of status, this is the Orienth Empire, and the supreme ruler is a group of holy soul wizards.

In terms of strength, a wizard is definitely stronger than a mechanic at a low level. Even if the strength of a mechanic skyrockets in the later stage, it is only possible to be on an equal footing with a wizard, not necessarily better than a wizard.

In terms of wealth, this is the biggest advantage of mechanics, but wizards are not bad in this aspect, and they also have many opportunities to make money.

For a young man who aspires to greater power, wizards are far more attractive than mechanics.

Keneji remembered that when he was young, he also wanted to become a wizard, but his talent was not top-notch, and he couldn't stand the temptation of the conditions offered by the Mechanics Union, so he took the road of a mechanic.

In the dead of night, he also made assumptions. If he had become a wizard, what would he be like now?

He doesn't know the answer.

But the young man in front of him knew that because he knew exactly what he wanted, that's why he refused so decisively.

Keneji's complexion was very complicated, and after a few seconds of silence, he sighed and said: "Well, it seems that you have indeed thought it through very clearly, and I will not force it. However, you rejected me today, even if you want to in the future If you want to repent, you will not have such a good opportunity and conditions."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Keneji, for sending me here."

Ren opened the door and got out of the car without hesitation, stood on the side of the road and waved goodbye to the other party.

Before the car started, Keneji rolled down the window suddenly and said, "Put away my business card. If you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me with it. Maybe I can help you once."

As soon as the voice fell, the car accelerated and left.

Ren looked carefully at the gold-stamped business card in his hand, thinking that the cost of the business card is probably not cheap, of course he would not throw it away casually, nodded, put it in his pocket and put it away.

Turning his head and looking around, a huge demon soul market is in front of him.

This place is located in the south of Yinxing District. The Demon Soul Market occupies most of the street. From time to time, there are indistinguishable roars coming from a certain corner of the street, and an unpleasant smell wafts from the ditch beside the road.

Ren rubbed his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.

There was a strong smell of blood in the smell, reminding him of a slaughterhouse.

He didn't forget that he still had the mark of conflict on his body, and he didn't dare to run around, so as not to run into Roxi's followers. He wanted to go back to the apartment just now, but he didn't want Keneji to know his address, so he temporarily changed his name to the Demon Soul Market.

After thinking about it for a while, Ren decided to take a stroll in the Demon Soul Market. He would not be so unlucky that he would run into followers of evil gods the first time he went out.

"It's all here, there's nothing to do when you go back so early."

The Demon Soul Market is a huge canopy, more than ten meters high, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. The ground is divided into neat shops. People walk between the shops and watch the goods for sale at will. The overall layout is similar to that of the previous life. The flower and bird market is almost the same.

The only difference is that what is sold here is not ornamental flowers, grass, fish and birds, but all kinds of strange creatures!

As soon as Ryan entered the market, he saw the big iron cage in front of him at first sight.

The big iron cage is six or seven meters high and is made of steel bars as thick as an arm, and a big snake is locked inside. Its snake body was thicker than an adult's waist, covered with delicate dark green scales, wrapped around the center pillar of the iron cage, coiled more than ten times, estimated to be over twelve meters long, extremely astonishing.

But the most striking thing is that there is a pair of wide wings on the upper part of the snake's body.

"Feathered snake!"

Ren has seen the introduction of this creature in the book.

If the feathered snake's wings were fully extended, it would exceed ten meters, but being forced to curl up in the cramped iron cage made it uncomfortable.

Around its neck, a thick steel cable runs through it, tying it to the multi-ton central pillar from which it cannot escape. It spat out snake letters from time to time, spraying translucent wind blades towards the crowd outside the iron cage, leaving white marks on the steel bars.

"Hiss..."

Ren opened the eyes of the soul to observe the Feathered Serpent.

Feathered snake is a kind of magical beast, it is not uncommon, but such a big feathered snake is very rare.

"Sure enough, this is a mid-level monster."

Whether it is Warcraft or other non-intelligent creatures, there is no specific level.

People only roughly distinguish their ranks based on strength and past experience, and then correspond to the ranks of extraordinary people, from elementary to advanced, and then the legend.

When an extraordinary person fuses a demon soul, he can generally only fuse with a demon soul of the same level as his own, and cannot go beyond the level, otherwise it is almost impossible to succeed.

It's okay for the demon soul to be lower than itself, but few people do this, because it can only improve the strength of the extraordinary.

In Ren's eyes, he can see the soul intuitively, and can judge the strength of this Feathered Serpent very accurately.

Its soul is obviously stronger than that of a first-level transcendent. It seems that it has undergone two soul transformations, which is similar to that of a mid-level transcendent. If it is to be carefully divided, its strength is comparable to that of a fifth-level transcendent.

"Intermediate snake feather, it has four soul elements."

Ren moved closer to the iron cage to strengthen his soul perception of the Feathered Serpent, and soon got the information of these four soul elements.

Two secret elements, one can control the atmosphere to form a wind blade, cutting the target; the other is to create a whirlwind around the side to speed up the flight, and can also be used to attack approaching enemies.

A physical element, the body recovers quickly in the event of injury.

The last element surprised Rennes, it turned out to be a supernatural element, gaining an affinity for the wind element, increasing the power of casting wind spells, and strengthening one's own resistance to wind spells!

"This Feathered Serpent is really rare, it has the wind element affinity!"

Ren secretly admired that all elements related to affinity belonged to supernatural powers. As long as such elements are included in the devil soul, the value will increase several times in an instant.

Affinity to the wind element is a very good key element for wizards and bloodborne warlocks.

A wizard can use this feathered snake to advance to become an elementalist, and a warlock can add an elemental bloodline to himself.

However, before killing the Feathered Serpent and taking out its demon soul, no one else knew that it had an affinity for the wind element, except Ren.

Ren's heart moved, and he seemed to be able to use the eye of the soul to earn the price difference.

There are generally two trading methods in the demon soul market.

One is to trade living things, and the other is to trade dead things.

Trading living things, just like this feathered snake, the seller can't be sure what elements it has. There may be several powerful elements, or there may be only one or two ordinary elements. The price difference between the two is huge, even hundreds of more than double.

To be on the safe side, many sellers choose not to kill it, and sell it at a relatively average price, at least not losing money.

After buying, the buyer can kill and take out the demon soul on the spot. Regardless of the quality of the demon soul or the number of elements, it has nothing to do with the seller.

There is a lot of uncertainty in this way of trading, but it is also a helpless move.

Because the devil soul is difficult to preserve, even if the soul stone is used to contain it, the power of the devil soul will continue to dissipate from the moment it is killed and taken out. The soul stone can only slow down this process and cannot be preserved for a long time.

And trading dead objects is selling soul stones directly.

The demon soul in the soul stone is more intuitive than it was when it was alive. At least a few elements can be seen clearly. For experienced extraordinary people, by observing the elements, they can distinguish the functions, strengths, and types of these elements, and act accordingly. name.

The trade of soul stones gave birth to a very popular profession called soul appraiser.

Some of the top soul masters can even judge the elements of a living creature by observing its characteristics, with a high accuracy rate.

Ren's heart became hot. He has the eyes of the soul, which is better than any soul master.

He looked at the quotation board under the iron cage of Feathered Serpent, which said 800 gold shields!

"So expensive!"

Ren was very helpless and realized that he had taken it for granted.

A mid-level Feathered Serpent, even without the affinity element of the wind element, is worth almost 500 gold shields, but now it is priced at 800. Obviously, some soul masters have seen its extraordinaryness, but they are not sure.

Of course, the price of this Feathered Serpent must be more than 800 gold shields, just a wind element affinity can double its value.

Ren touched the wallet in his arms. He only has 360 gold shields in his entire net worth now. Where can he get 800 gold shields?

"Could it be borrowed?" Ren immediately thought of Viola and Keneji, and immediately vetoed it. These two people just met today, why should they lend money to themselves? Eight hundred gold shields is not a small amount of money, maybe he was kicked out as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Forget it, let's look at other things." Ren shook his head, turned and walked away.
