Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 892 - 350: Heart Swells_2

The drawback of the Night Demon Heart is obvious, it can only be used at night. And night in the post-apocalyptic world is too dangerous, no one would go out unless they had to spend the night outside. It clearly shouldn’t fetch a high price!

Now, Wang Tao had a basic understanding of the Crystal Coins and the prices at Changhe Base, and he thought it would be good if he could sell this thing for 300,000.

But looking at the stall owner, his bottom line seemed to be 900,000. 900,000 compared to 300,000, that’s a difference of three times!

If there really was such a high price, then Wang Tao could indeed sell the Night Demon Hearts he had. After all, they were of no use to him...

Outside the shop, the crowd that had not yet dispersed saw Wang Tao and the stall owner come out, and with the Night Demon Heart still in the stall owner’s hands, they knew the deal had not been struck.

The stall owner could tell there was something special about Wang Tao, and so could others. Since even someone as wealthy as Wang Tao could not afford it, it indicated that the stall owner hadn’t reduced the price much, leading to some people starting to jeer.

"Hey! That’s what you get for pricing it so high, you swindler! Can’t sell it now, can you?"

"You should have dropped the price earlier, the longer you wait, the less it’s worth! I bet in another ten days or half a month, when everyone has awakened, you won’t be able to sell it for 100,000, let alone a million!"

"..."

Hearing these words, others immediately joined in.

"Exactly, exactly! Can’t sell it now!"

Watching this group of people reveling in his misfortune, the stall owner was somewhat speechless and gestured dismissively with his hands.

"Go on, get lost. What do you know? Don’t worry about whether I sell it for a high price or not, I’ll definitely be able to sell it! You can’t afford it anyway, why the unnecessary concern?"

The onlookers wanted to see the stall owner break down, but he still looked as calm as ever, which instead made them wonder.

Could this Night Demon Heart really be that powerful? Powerful enough to go head-to-head with a Level 4, Lord zombie? Otherwise, this price wouldn’t make sense!

Wang Tao was also puzzled about where the stall owner’s confidence came from.

Previously, the Iron Beetle he had produced was appraised by the City Hall for only 1 million. Of course, perhaps they valued it a bit low, and at that time Crystal Coins were more valuable... But now, it seemed selling it for over 2 million wouldn’t be a problem.

Could these two Night Demon Hearts be worth an Iron Beetle? That was clearly impossible.

However, seeing that the stall owner didn’t want to say more, Wang Tao didn’t ask further.

He continued to browse around other places. There were a lot of items to see, including some monster parts, but there weren’t any special materials or corresponding design blueprints... so those materials were of no use to Wang Tao.

After making a round, Wang Tao arrived at the place for trading information, called the "Intelligence Exchange."

In the Ability User Market, the City Hall guarantees that most things are authentic, and if fake goods are found, the seller could be fined or even put on a wanted list. However, there is one exception that the City Hall doesn’t guarantee—the transactions inside the Intelligence Exchange.

Because information intelligence is time-sensitive.

Even if it’s all true, there can be inaccuracies, not to mention false information is hard to verify.

So here, information could be true or false. To buy accurate intelligence, apart from insight and experience, luck is also very important.

The people at the Intelligence Exchange were numerous and so was the information on the electronic screens. A lot of the information only included a beginning, for example: "Discovered a Level 4, Lord zombie with no minions by its side. This is an excellent opportunity to hunt it down, the specific location is—" and there, the message would cut off, requiring payment to continue.

The information varied, including some that were completely free, though not many. Most of it was behind paid content.

Among these paid content, some were unrestricted in viewer numbers and could be seen by anyone; others were limited to a certain number of viewers, and once the limit was reached, the information became locked and unavailable to others; there were also exclusive pieces of information that could only be viewed by a single person, and once seen, the information would be deleted.

As for pricing, naturally, the fewer people who could view it, the higher the cost.

In addition to this information, there were others concerning recruitment, collaborations, task announcements, and so on. Wang Tao skipped over these to focus on information related to zombies and monsters.

Except for the exclusive news which was quite expensive, other messages were much less than Wang Tao had anticipated.

Wang Tao bought a big batch of information in one go, and it wasn’t expensive, amounting to just a few thousand dollars, with the exclusive news taking up the bulk of it.

After purchasing that information, Wang Tao took another stroll around.

Suddenly, he wondered whether he could also rent a shop? After all, he still had a lot of stuff that neither he nor his teammates could use, items like equipment and potions, which perhaps could be sold here?

However, this was just a passing thought for Wang Tao; for now, he prioritized heading out of the city to mine meteorites and undergo a Second Awakening.

By the time he got home, it was already noon, with just half a day left. Today clearly wasn’t suitable for an outing, and he hadn’t yet figured out where exactly to mine meteorites.

Wang Tao called Ding Yuqin and the others over and shared with them the information he had bought, asking them to plan the route.

This information wasn’t bought under a personal name, but on behalf of the Starfire Society, so it could be shared with one’s own people, but not leaked to other forces. Although it would be hard to pinpoint the source if there indeed was a leak, a hefty fine from City Hall awaited anyone caught or reported, as City Hall was particularly keen on imposing fines.

After spending some time, Ding Yuqin and the rest planned out a relatively sensible route, making sure to pass through areas populated with zombies and monsters. If they were lucky, they might encounter one or two, which would be a huge gain.

And even if they were really unlucky and didn’t run into a single one, it wouldn’t matter too much; after all, it was just information that cost a few thousand, and a bit of wasted time.

Once the route was decided, Wang Tao told everyone,

"Let’s set out tomorrow. But this time we won’t bring too many people, because I am not quite sure where that Level 5 Giant Eagle is..."

If it were any other Level 5 Lord, Wang Tao wouldn’t necessarily be intimidated, but the combat power of this Giant Eagle was too strong; he felt no chance of victory. Moreover, it was a Flying Monster with extremely fast speed!

If they were to venture out in a bulletproof minibus again like the last time and encountered the Giant Eagle, it would be a disaster.

The current strategy was to hide upon encountering the Giant Eagle. Wang Tao considered looking for an opportunity to investigate where the Giant Eagle’s nest might be.

Lords always have their territories, and even if the Giant Eagle regarded the entire sky as its domain, it would still rest somewhere. That location was its nest.

If they could find its nest, they wouldn’t need to be so nervous right now. The unknown is the most terrifying; unpredictable, with the fear that the Giant Eagle could appear from any direction. But once they knew where it lived, they could temporarily list that area as off-limits and simply avoid it in their travels.

After discussing for a while, Wang Tao decided to take only Lan Yulian, Jiang Shixue, Lightning, He Jijun, and Blacky with him.

In other words, everyone going this time had Fourth Order Battle Power!

If they really encountered an insurmountable danger, even if they couldn’t win, they should have no problem escaping.

As for the vehicle problem... Qu Shilin had mentioned last time that she had a Crystal Energy Power Engine intended for vehicle modification, but it wasn’t ready yet. Wang Tao wondered about its current status and planned to inquire.

So, Wang Tao sent a message directly to Qu Shilin.

A few moments later, a reply came back.

"Well, I do have a newly modified small Crystal Energy Powered Car, but it’s only been tested twice. Although there weren’t any problems with those tests..."

"That’s good enough for me. I trust you quite a bit!"

Wang Tao immediately said.

He had previously used a Crystal Energy Gun manufactured by Qu Shilin, a test version, but it worked very well.

"Okay! Then I’ll rely on you to test it!"

Intellectuals have a way with words, making it sound like Wang Tao was being asked for a favor even though he was actually the one benefiting for free.

Just as Wang Tao was about to express his gratitude, Qu Shilin suddenly asked,

"Are you planning on going to the Cave?"

"Hmm? The Cave? What’s that?"

Wang Tao was startled.

"Ah? You don’t know? It’s a massive underground space discovered while you were away, rumored to be filled with monsters and treasures! Several forces are supposed to be teaming up to explore it in the next few days—oh right! The Cave is very dark and the terrain is complicated, so the Night Demon Type 1 is particularly suitable for the place.

As a result, the price of Night Demon Hearts has skyrocketed. A lot of people have been asking me if I’m selling the hearts I have, and I’m still hesitating. What do you think, should I sell them or not? Give me some advice, it wasn’t easy gathering so many Night Demon Hearts..."
