Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Is My Face Clean?

Translator: 549690339

“Huh, these items…” Song Jian looks at the myriad of items in front of him, a surprised expression graces his face.

The items that the goblin merchant had brought out were mostly of “junk” quality, but surprisingly, these items had the attribute of “Take out of the game: Yes”.

That is to say, these items, mostly, can be brought out of the game into the real world. Thus, Song Jian’s interest is piqued greatly. He knows that his two pieces of jewelry, while also classified as “junk”, resulted in millions of benefits for him in the real world.

However, this isn’t to say that all items that can be taken out of the game are useful. Some are worthless, applying no worth or use even if taken out of the game.

After sifting through them for quite a while, Song Jian picked out a white-quality stone. He told the goblin merchant Canaan, “This one is my choice!”

“Control Guardian (White): Consumable, use effect: deploys a guardian that can monitor a nearby area, this item will reveal invisible entities and creatures around it, simultaneously, it can also monitor sounds and images in the immediate vicinity. The range of effect is 10 meters and the scope of monitoring is 500 meters. Guardian Duration: 3 days. Item Quantity: 3/3; Can be taken out of the game: Yes.”

This item could be considered the bane of all rogues, almost all of their initial skills require them to be stealthed. The moment a control guardian is deployed nearby, any rogue entering within a ten-meter radius will be revealed.

Furthermore, it can listen and record nearby sounds and scenes. It can be used in the real world as a bugging device, making it one of the more valuable items amongst those displayed.

“Hmm, a wise choice indeed. This is an unused control guardian, brand new…” The goblin merchant Canaan stared at the control guardian in Song Jian’s hand while touching his chin, his face displaying a slight trace of pain.

“Alright, now that the task is completed, 1 should get going. So, farewell and may your business prosper!” Song Jian waved at the goblin merchant Canaan and turned to leave.

“My friend, don’t you intend to buy some items from me? You must know, I am a merchant after all…” Canaan slightly packed up his big bundle, slung it over his shoulder, and said to Song Jian.

“Figures, you’ve hidden all the good stuff, haven’t you!” Song Jian’s eyes narrowed, a cold, murderous intent arose within him.

“Apologies, my friend, contract, contract! We did sign a contract, you only asked to pick an item from my big bundle…” Canaan, the goblin merchant wiped his sweat, speaking urgently.

“Very well, let me take a look. What good stuff do you have?” He was about to refuse, as Song Jian didn’t have a penny to his name, he had spent all his money on the skill “Rapid Sword”. However, on second thought, it didn’t cost anything to look. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to find out where this green skinned dwarf hid his good stuff.

Seeing the potential for business, Canaan was naturally delighted. He lightly stroked his right hand with his left, and in a flash of faint blue light, rather ancient looking rings appeared on three of his fingers.

“Damn, Storage Rings, I should have guessed!” Song Jian cursed quietly to himself, he himself possessed a Storage Ring. As a merchant, how could Canaan not possess a similar storage equipment?

The items within the three Storage Rings were displayed to Song Jian. Upon seeing them, his expression turned even grimmer. This goblin in front of him had indeed hidden the good stuff.

The first ring stored all sorts of potions, from miniature healing potions and miniature spiritual recovery potions, to advanced healing potions and advanced spiritual recovery potions, to attribute-enhancing potions, and vitality points and spirit points enhancement potions, it had everything. There were even potions like the Weakness Potion, which could add negative effects to targets.

The second ring contained numerous fighting scrolls, similar to the Vampiric Scroll and Attack Scroll in his bundle. They could be used during fights. Besides, there were many formidable scrolls like the Thunder Web Scroll, Flame Scroll, and Deadly Poison Scroll, etc.

The third ring kept some equipment. All of the gear were at least level 10 with green quality. Among them, the highest quality items were three silver-level weapons: a long sword, a machete, and a spear.

The long sword was a double-handed sword which wasn’t suitable for Song Jian. The machete was single-handed, and the spear was a tyrant spear, merely the strength attribute required to use it was over 25 points;

“Is that all?” Song Jian asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The goblin merchant glanced at Song Jian, hesitating, under Song Jian’s gaze, the Goblin Merchant gave a forced smile and said, “Of course there’s more!”

As he spoke, the goblin merchant reached around his waist. A blue light flickered and revealed that his belt was also a storage item.

Another interface appeared before Song Jian, surprisingly storing numerous skills, and the lowest quality was of a blue level.

“Sss, so many skills?” A surprised look flashed in Song Jian’s eyes. Roughly seventy to eighty types of skills were stored in it, and over ten of those belonged to the swordsmanship category. Song Jian had the urge to rob the merchant!

This goblin merchant had no offensive capabilities. Even a few level ten mutated zombies could corner him in an alley and pound him to death. If he was to do it himself, his chances of success were quite high.

Seeing the malicious look in Song Jian’s eyes, the face of the Goblin merchant Canaan turned grim. He cautiously said to Song Jian, “Don’t think I’m defenceless. 1 do have a trump card.”

“Oh, you have a trump card? You were about to be killed earlier and 1 didn’t see you pulling out your trump card,” Song Jian snorted at the merchant’s claim. If it weren’t for his involvement, the green-skinned dwarf would probably be dead by now.

“Hmph, what do you think this is?” Canaan pulled out a scroll and showed it to Song Jian.

“Town Return Scroll (Special) – Effect: Transports the user to a previously marked city. Requirements: none. Can be Taken out of the game: yes.”

“A Town Return Scroll?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect this dwarf had such a valuable item in his possession. It was a life-saving artifact. “Where did you pull that scroll from?” A thought suddenly passed through Song Jian’s mind. He recalled Canaan’s movements from earlier. The scroll he held was not taken from the big bag, nor from the Storage Rings or the Storage Belt.

“This green-skinned dwarf has another storage item!” Song Jian glanced at Canaan, realizing the truth.

“Why didn’t you use it earlier?” Song Jian maliciously asked.

“Do you think I came to this abandoned city for business? I have a mission. 1 need to…” Just as Canaan was speaking, he suddenly stopped, took a glance at Song Jian and snorted, “In any case, just don’t set your sights on me. Look, do you need any of these items? If you buy in bulk, I can even offer you a discount!”

“Do you see any dirt on my face, is it clean?” Song Jian asked out of the blue.

Canaan was taken aback. After closely inspecting Song Jian’s face, he responded with confusion, “It’s very clean, there’s nothing there.”

“My pockets are even cleaner than my face!” Song Jian announced, spared Canaan a glance, and then turned to head towards the alley entrance.
