Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Bag of Gluttony (Second Update!)

The abrupt call immediately attracted everyone’s attention, including that of a Shadow Soldier behind the counter.

Several gazes fell simultaneously on the human figure enveloped in smoke, focusing on the palm of their hand.

There, lying quietly resembled a child’s toy, was a frog-shaped wallet with a huge mouth that featured a silver-white zipper, looking very shriveled, completely unexpected that the echo-inducing call could have come from it.

However, the ghostly glow that emanated from the wallet could not be concealed.

[Curios: Frog Wallet.]

[State: Complete.]

[Information Fragment: A curios formed under special conditions, possessing uniqueness. The inside of the wallet is a cubic space of 3*3*3, capable of storing non-living items in a constant state, restored upon retrieval. Its opening spell is “croak croak croak,” which must be delivered in the tone and frequency of a male frog’s courting call, otherwise, it cannot be opened.]

…

“My requirement is the same; a curios or secret medicine that can save lives at a critical moment, the remaining value can be offset by other things, gold coins also accepted.”

Once again, Tang Qi found himself in a dilemma.

He faintly understood that before initiating the high-ordered witchcraft of “Melting Furnace Space”, the functional substitutes for curios he could find were unlikely to perfectly meet his requirements.

In fact, looking at the two curios that have appeared so far, meeting the requirements came second; Tang Qi just hoped not to be so embarrassed.

The requirements put forth by the curios’ owner, as well as the appearance of the curios, Tang Qi could accept if he endured a bit, but why were both spells for opening “space” so embarrassing.

After all, both curios possessed “uniqueness,” meaning the spells were immutable, fixed at birth.

Hence, the latter could be understood; the owner of this frog wallet curio naturally tried a frog’s call as the opening spell.

But what was the state of mind of the person who issued the “Barbie Barbie” spell for the “Barbie Doll”?

Tang Qi gave that person a curious glance and was about to say something when the door of the wooden house opened again; this time, two human figures walked in.

At this point, more than ten minutes had passed since Tang Qi posted the advertisement.

Given the approximate number of Transcendents at the “Mysterious Valley Market,” Tang Qi knew these should be the last people.

This type of curios was exceedingly rare.

Honestly, having four appear was already astonishing enough.

Seeing two more “competitors,” the very first one, the owner of the Barbie Doll, sighed deeply within the smoke, knowing there was probably little hope left.

Indeed, even without the later two, the competitive power of that single frog wallet curios was much stronger than his Barbie Doll.

Of course, even so, he did not leave.

“What if the strong one has some special preference?”

Within the smoke, the somewhat uniquely dressed doll owner harbored this hope.

In the meantime, the two newcomers also took out their respective curios.

One was a highly disgusting, blurry mess of flesh and blood, and the other was a meticulously made man’s backpack that looked like a luxury item.

The stark contrast between these two immediately drew everyone’s attention.

In Tang Qi’s eyes, two special scenes emerged.

[Curios: Corroser’s Stomach.]

[State: Complete.]

[Information Fragment One: Freshly peeled stomach from a Corroser, its interior is a spherical space with a diameter of five meters, its skin is extremely tough, difficult to damage, and the spell to open the space can be set by oneself, achievable even by the most unskilled Artifact Forger.]

[Information Fragment Two: It can contain living beings, but there is a time limit. Once exceeded, the living beings will die.]

[Information Fragment Three: Its flaw, the items placed inside will gradually corrode over time.]

The first Curio made Tang Qi first reveal a hint of surprise, then he furrowed his brows.

The Curio had notable advantages, but also more apparent flaws, especially the third Information Fragment, which immediately made Tang Qi eliminate it from his choices.

Until the owner of the Curio said: “My demand is Divine Grace, at least ten thousand Gold Coins.”

This condition slightly moved Tang Qi’s heart.

If it were just Gold Coins, he would choose to buy it, not to preserve his own collection, but to add it as a part of his collection. The effect revealed by Information Fragment Two might play an unexpected role in some special circumstances.

Having an idea, but Tang Qi did not speak immediately, instead, he looked at the last Curio.

“Extraordinary Creature: Bag of Gluttony…”

“Creature?”

At first glance, Tang Qi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

The following Information Fragments caused Tang Qi’s expression to gradually turn icy cold within the smoke, with a hint of murderous intent rising.

[Extraordinary Creature: Bag of Gluttony.]

[State: Hungry.]

[Information Fragment One: It has multiple transformation forms, wooden box, cloth bag or others, currently appearing as a finely crafted luxury backpack, but inside it actually has a huge mouth that can open wide, moreover, it has a “Pocket Space” that can grow.]

[Information Fragment Two: Feeding it can choose between flesh or Magic Power, choosing the latter requires subduing it first, otherwise it will drain the Magic Power.]

[Information Fragment Three: Choosing the former, it prefers fresh flesh, whether Human or other life forms, consuming ordinary Life Forms can prevent the Pocket Space from shrinking, consuming Extraordinary Creatures can make the space grow, and there’s a chance it will spit out some Curios or materials.]

[Information Fragment Four: It already has a Temporary Master, who promised it to look for suitable Prey, the latest target being a Human rich in Magic Power.]

…

The dense Information Fragments almost made Tang Qi unable to refrain from taking immediate action.

Without a doubt, the so-called “Human rich in Magic Power” referred to him, Tang Qi.

Tang Qi didn’t show any Abnormality, his gaze simply shifted, falling on the last person, indicating he was ready to listen to his conditions.

Amid the smoke, one could barely make out a slender young man.

A somewhat childish voice came from beneath the smoke.

“My demand is also Gold Coins, only eight thousand, I need it urgently.”

“He’s a newbie!”

As soon as the voice owner spoke, Tang Qi immediately made his judgment.

Using something like the “Bag of Gluttony” to scam people, and moreover, a life-threatening scam, was definitely the act of a ruthless psychopath.

But the price put forth by this young person yet unknown in appearance seemed too deliberate, especially when comparing the descriptions of their own Curios by four people, his Bag of Gluttony, or as he himself called it, “magical backpack”, selling at eight thousand Gold Coins was simply a sellout.

If it were a veteran, they wouldn’t make it this obvious.

Fortunately, Tang Qi didn’t care whether the other party was a newbie or a veteran. Following the murderous thoughts, Tang Qi came up with some new ideas.

Inside the smoke, his voice came out.

“I’ll take both.”

Tang Qi pointed at the Corrosor’s Stomach and Bag of Gluttony, declaring in a manner of spending big.
