"Evil God's Eye?" Vice Temple Master Kapula stared at Shi Feng, a flash of astonishment crossing his aged, impassive face. His eyes brimming with excitement, he asked, "You truly obtained the Evil God's Eye?"
Seeing the eager, fervent look in Vice Temple Master Kapula's eyes, Shi Feng immediately produced a magic rune crystal from his backpack — faintly wreathed in a wisp of sinister energy, its color a deep, dark grey.
This deep grey magic rune crystal was none other than the Evil God's Eye, obtained by breaking the sealing magic array.
The moment Shi Feng brought it out, Kapula's eyes went rigid, locked onto the Evil God's Eye in Shi Feng's hands. If Shi Feng hadn't been absolutely certain that NPCs would never arbitrarily seize a player's personal belongings, he would have suspected Kapula would snatch it away without a second thought.
"It's the real thing!" After a careful examination, Kapula's excitement only deepened. He looked at Shi Feng and said slowly, "This Evil God's Eye is damaged, but its value is still extremely high — and it is precisely the material I need. If you're willing to sell this Evil God's Eye to me, I can offer you this Crown of Elements in exchange, along with five thousand contribution points."
As he spoke, Kapula produced a crown set with seven resplendent gemstones, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The instant the crown appeared, Shi Feng could clearly feel all the surrounding magic elements surge into turmoil, as if these elements had found a sovereign to command them.
"A legendary item fragment?" Shi Feng drew a sharp breath at the sight of the Crown of Elements.
He hadn't expected Kapula to be so generous!
Perhaps others didn't fully grasp the value of a legendary item fragment, but Shi Feng understood perfectly. Even ten years later, legendary item fragments in the Divine Realm were exceedingly rare. First-rate guilds treasured them as supreme artifacts — only a handful of top executives were ever permitted to use them. They were far beyond what any epic item could measure up to.
A single legendary item fragment could catapult a top-tier expert straight into the peak ranks, while also boosting the success rate of advancement. Every fragment was supremely precious, the very foundation of a guild. They were never traded, and no player equipped with one would be casually sent into harm's way.
If he obtained the Crown of Elements now, Zero Wing could immediately forge another top-tier expert.
And besides the Crown of Elements, Kapula was offering an extra five thousand contribution points — nearly the price of an epic item on its own...
"Of course, you also have the option of repairing the Evil God's Eye. However, the cost is extremely steep. You'll need fifteen thousand contribution points alone, plus one hundred Magic Crystal Stones and three units of Seven Luster Crystal Stones." Kapula said gravely.
Shi Feng clicked his tongue.
He hadn't expected the price to be so exorbitant!
Magic Crystal Stones were rare even as drops from Hell Difficulty hundred-man teams, let alone Seven Luster Crystal Stones. Even a single unit of the latter was something no current guild could casually produce.
"Take your time to think it over — there's no need to decide right away." Kapula smiled.
"Lord Kapula, I've made my decision. I want to repair the Evil God's Eye." After a moment's deliberation, Shi Feng said firmly.
He was indeed in desperate need of a legendary item fragment, especially a magic-class one. Equip it on a magic expert, and they'd become a mobile artillery platform.
But the Evil God's Eye would provide an even greater boost to the guild.
While a Small World's unique resources were scarce, the energy ore it yielded was priceless — something simply unobtainable outside the unstable alternate worlds. Moreover, the rarity of a Small World surpassed that of legendary item fragments. In his previous life, many first-rate guilds had possessed a dozen or even more legendary item fragments, but those that owned a Small World were vanishingly few.
The choice was clear.
"What a pity." Kapula sighed, though he quickly composed himself and turned to Shi Feng. "Bring out all your materials. If you haven't gathered everything yet, go collect them first. Come find me once you have them all."
Shi Feng nodded, then left the War God Temple and headed back to the Candlelight Firm.
