Chapter 726: Bright Glimmer of Hope’s Equipment Changes! (II)
The elder continued, “In some sense, this Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise is actually a piece of equipment that can be placed above equipment of epic tier. The gap between such epic and divine tool tiers is actually a half realm. Equipment of this grade is known as immortal grade, or subdivine tools. However, equipment of this level are almost as rare as the divine tool grade, and thus hard to find.
“Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise is made by getting sewn with a fire dragon’s main bone, with a large variety of rare material added to that. These materials correspond to an item reaching a divine tool, but in the process of item-making, because the material of light and fire was burning overly fiercely, it conflicted to a certain extent, thus finally not crossing this threshold.”
Long Haochen lightly nodded, while looking at Lin Xin on the other side, finding out that Lin Xin had his mouth wide opened, simply leaking with saliva.
“That my… Mine...”
Long Haochen couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself, but fortunately didn’t ask him further, “Senior, how much for the Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise?”
The elder made a little pause before replying, “The Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise is set at the marked price of 2,400,000 contribution points.”
Hearing this count, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
One should know that contribution points’ value is almost a hundredfold times golds’ value. So 2,400,000 contribution points was an astronomical number, even for a Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad. Haochen had once asked his grandfather the value of epic tier equipment, and Long Tianying’s response was that, generally, epic tier equipment’s value would range between 50,000 and 100,000 contribution points.
But he didn’t think that it could cost such a large price.
Over these years, the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope had accumulated an astronomical amount of contribution points, but based on Haochen’s estimate, that was just about ten million. And this time, it was for an equipment exchange on the scale of their whole team that they had come. If one item cost over two million contribution points, that was really somewhat of an unbearable cost.
“Senior, how many contribution points has our team accumulated so far?” , Long Haochen asked after a short time of stupor. He had actually already decided to purchase this magic gown. As the only mage in the team, Lin Xin’s high explosive power and damage were his greatest assets. If he could gain a supportive spell such as Glorious Praise, this would be a great trump card when facing demonkind.
When reaching the part about Bright Glimmer of Hope’s contribution points, the elder’s expression became increasingly more respectful. He spent all year in the topmost floor of the transaction center, and didn’t know much about the Alliance’s decision of becoming the Union. But he was extremely sensible to contribution points’ worth, and had encountered the terrifying contribution point counts of several Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad, but this Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was definitely the most terrifying so far!
On the contribution point tile was recorded the ages of Long Haochen’s crew, as well as their Demon Hunt Squad’s accomplishments. When the elder had first seen their group, he believed they just looked so young because of their high cultivation, but after looking at the contribution points tile’s records, he realized that these were really such youngsters! Yet, those youngsters had such an incomparably shocking count of experiences and contributions.
“Esteemed Captain Long Haochen, your noble team has amassed a total count of 14,628,631 contribution points. Because of your identities as a Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad, you will preferentially benefit from a twenty percent discount on any of our transaction center’s goods.”
Over fourteen million, that was really an incomparably shocking number. Especially for Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi who confirmed their previous guesses from hearing it, and were greatly appreciative to Long Haochen. Added up, the contributions of the three of them would at most have reached a million or so. But compared to the average, that was still an enormous count.
This instant, Sima Xian’s voice came out from the entrance to the top floor, “Aish, what a pretty robe. Boss, is this for me?”
Sima Xian could be seen bringing his little white flower toward the rest of the group.
Feng Ling’er was clad in a white gown, giving her a look really befitting her nickname of little white flower. After bowing slightly to Long Haochen’s group, her gaze landed on the Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise’s shadow.
On the other side, Lin Xin cast an angry look at Sima Xian, “What’s for you? This is clearly a piece of equipment for fire mages such as me.”
Sima Xian snorted, “Save your talk. Just by the color you can tell that it has the light attribute. How could it be a thing for fire mages of your ilk? Your bro is a mage too, a priest.”
Lin Xin let out a sudden smile, “Alright, for you then.”
Sima Xian was startled, “Since when have you been so easy to deal with?”
Lin Xin unhappily responded, “Even if I let you, can you even wear it? You’re a magic user? There’s only one such freak as you in the whole Union. You’re thinking of fighting in this gown you could possibly rip at anytime with your build? As long as you’re willing to bring it along in the battlefield, I’m letting you have it.”
Hearing his statement, Sima Xian felt suddenly thwarted. Indeed, he was a priest, but one wearing heavy armor! Putting this gown on, he was truly afraid it wouldn’t be of much use, and the gown would only be waiting to get ruined.
Long Haochen stated, “Alright. You may all have a seat. Miss Feng Ling’er, how do you view this piece of equipment?”
Feng Ling’er said, “This Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise comes from a fire fairy’s remnants. That’s a rare fire gown, and at least in the History of the Union, it is a unique item. But it has a spiritual nature, so using it requires first gaining its approval. I suggest you give it a try, and decide to purchase it only if you manage to gain its approval.”
That elder nodded as well, “Miss Feng Ling’er is right. I would also suggest the same.”
Long Haochen nodded, “Alright, then I will bother you to get it for us. Then, let’s keep looking through the recorded equipment.”
Finger moving downwards, Long Haochen chose an item, and in a flash of shadow, a blue sapphire necklace appeared in the air.
Feng Ling’er directly shook her head, “This is for water mages, not fitting for you guys. We can pass it.”
She had a rather good understanding of the abilities of Bright Glimmer of Hope’s crew, so with her here, the equipment selection was saved much trouble.
Afterwards came a detailed selection, with the Demon Hunt Squads’ Transaction Center being worthy of getting called the richest place of the whole Alliance. Even Feng Ling’er said that the equipment reaching at least the epic tier in this place were severalfold more than in her Alliance’s Great Auction House.
The whole selection went for an afternoon: divine tools wouldn’t appear in this place, because equipment of this grade would all be taken by the Temples upon appearing. They were just such rare existences.
However, they still got quite a lot of good things there. In the end, they had picked over ten items of epic tier. But only three of them reached the Immortal tier.
“Esteemed captain Long Haochen. After discount, this equipment will require a total of 20.62 million contribution points. Your Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad can borrow up to five million contribution points, but even when adding that to your original contribution count, that is still over a million short. How about you let go of one item?”
Let go? How could that be done? Every single piece of equipment had been chosen for its target, and would be very hard to trade-off.
Before letting Long Haochen have the time to respond, Feng Ling’er suddenly exclaimed, “Elder Sun, the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope is the leading party of the new Union. Also, I am willing to vouch for them in my capacity as the owner of the Alliance’s Great Auction House. Just lend them a bit more. Within five years, you are sure to be clear with them.”
The elder she called Elder Sun replied, after shortly hesitating, “I need to ask the higher-ups for instructions regarding this matter.”
“No need to ask for instructions, just give them.” A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and immediately, a familiar man came out from a room within the top floor.
Seeing this person, Long Haochen couldn’t help but stand in stupor, “Grandpa Yang, how come you’re here?”
The old man who had suddenly barged in was no one else but the strongest knight of the Knight Temple, known by the title of Starry Sky Knight and the name Yang Haoyu.
Yang Haoyu smiled to him, “Chairman, I am the one in charge of managing the Demon Hunt Squads’ Transaction Center and Mission Pagoda. However, very few know about this matter. Even the heads of the Six Great Temples are in the dark. Our Demon Hunt Squads’ department has always been managed by a Demon Hunter President, and only Demon Hunt Squads reaching at least the Emperor grade are qualified to know about the Demon Hunter President. As the one managing all matters related to the Demon Hunt Squads, they can be called the greatest manager of all Demon Hunt Squads. And this generation’s Demon Hunter President is me. If Chairman is interested, you could well take over to become the next Demon Hunter President in charge.”
Reaching this part, Yang Haoyu’s smile became even more pronounced. Facing these youngsters before his eyes, he couldn’t be any more satisfied. Especially the Knight Temple’s prospects, which could only be described as perfect. Now that Long Haochen’s identity was already no longer the same, even he had to call him Chairman when facing him.
Long Haochen hurriedly shook his head, “Grandpa Yang, I already have enough matters in my hand. I can’t bear this position as Demon Hunter President. Moreover, you are still so young, you can very well keep this position for several hundred more years. Having you as our overseer is our Demon Hunter community’s bliss.”
Yang Haoyu responded, “Enough. You can all pack up your things and go. Leave the rest to me, you have to return in the Knight Temple now. Don’t forget about the matters I have told you; I wish you success.”
Long Haochen placed his right fist on his chest, and performed a standard knight salute, “Grandpa Yang, thank you for your support. We definitely won’t disappoint you.”
Yang Haoyu showed an indifferent smile, “I am not supporting you, but our future in resisting demonkind.”
Enchantingly glowing equipment for epic tier were brought out by the group. Amongst these, Long Haochen did not have a single one and Cai’er only had an inner full-body armor. Chen Ying’er got a six-sided crystal ball of epic tier. And the others reaped plentiful gains.
