In the living room
Zhou Zhou took out the Diamond-tier scarlet lord talent sphere from his storage ring.
A line of text appeared.
[Do you want to purify it?]
"Yes!"
He said expectantly.
The next second
A golden light flashed on the scarlet lord talent ball.
After the golden light disappeared, the blood-colored light on the scarlet lord talent sphere had already disappeared.
At the same time…
Its message has also changed.
[Treasure Name: Lord Talent Sphere— The Ultimate Collector]
[Treasure Grade: Diamond-tier]
[Treasure Effect: After absorbing it, the lord will possess the Diamond-tier lord talent— The ultimate collector!]
"The ultimate collector?"
"It seems to relate to a very powerful entity."
Zhou Zhou guessed..
He did not think too much about it and used it directly.
A text notification appeared again.
[Do you want to absorb this lord talent sphere (Diamond-tier)?
"Yes!"
He said.
The next second
This Diamond-tier lord talent sphere immediately turned into countless diamond-colored light spots and surged into his glabella.
Zhou Zhou closed his eyes.
A moment later
He re-opened his eyes again after some time.
Then, he immediately opened his lord's personal information.
His lord talent column had already been updated!
[Lord Talent: 100% Drop Rate (Legendary-tier), Gnome Alchemy Workshop (Green bronze-tier), Monster Ranch (White silver-tier), Phantom Cage (black iron-tier), Child of Space and Time (black iron-tier), The Ultimate Collector (Diamond-Tier)]
"My sixth lord talent!"
A smile appeared on Zhou Zhou's face.
He immediately opened the details of the talent.
[Lord Talent: The Ultimate Collector (Diamond-tier)]
[The Ultimate Collector: You've found goodwill with the Ultimate Collector and can make trades with Him.]
[Talent Effect 1: You can only make 3 trades a day.]
[Talent Effect 2: Higher levels of goods can be traded for using a large quantity of lower level goods.]
[Talent Effect 3: A larger fee will be needed when trading for an item of a category with items of different categories.]
[Remark: The highest level of goods to be traded for is of the legendary-tier.]
[I take quantity over quality - The Ultimate Collector.]
…
After Zhou Zhou finished reading, there was only one thought in his mind.
What a useful lord talent!
"I should be able to trade off the large number of loots stored in my spatial ring."
He immediately activated the method used in communicating with the powerful entity.
A text notification immediately appeared.
[The Ultimate Collector: Welcome, what do you have to trade?]
Reflexively bringing out 872 recruitment books, 458 poison crossbows, 7,232 change class certificates, 4,613 skill books, 2,258 poison sacs, 2,258 antitodes and 180 flame demon fog wolf armor sets, Zhou Zhou waited for the ultimate collector to continue.
[The Ultimate Collector: What do you want for your goods?]
'Can I know the highest level of item I can obtain?'
Zhou Zhou mused, his thoughts communicating with the ultimate collector.
[The Ultimate Collector: White platinum-tier item.]
'How many White platinum-tier items can I trade for?'
[The Ultimate Collector: 4 White platinum-tier items.]
[But due to your daily limits, you can only trade for 3 White platinum-tier items]
[A fee was deducted due to the varying categories of items traded.]
'Can y...
[No, I cannot tell you the worth of the fee.]
[If you aren't satisfied, I can take back my goodwill towards you!]
"What the..."
Zhou Zhou felt speechless reading the notifications from the ultimate collector.
' If the...'
[The Ultimate Collector: Yes, the trade distribution can be given.]
[10 black iron-tier items can be traded for 1 Green bronze-tier item.]
[You can do the calculations for the others.]
"He can read my thoughts before they form?!"
Zhou Zhou was now shocked.
Calming down after remembering the introduction of the entity behind the lord talent, he began thinking of what he could trade for after doing his math.
Quickly thinking of something, he took out his phantom sphere as he asked.
'Can I trade for the promotion energy needed to fill this?'
[The Ultimate Collector: ... Yes, you can. You will be left with just enough goods to trade for 7 Yellow gold-tier items.]
[But I will advise against that if you're only interested in advancing to a White platinum-tier potential.]
[It's better to directly get a White platinum-tier potential advancement potion; it will save you 200,000 promotion energy.]
'That's right...'
Zhou Zhou's eyes sparkled after hearing the ultimate collector.
'Wait, doesn't that mean I only need 4 Yellow gold-tier trade chances to have a White platinum-tier promotion energy?'
Destroying Zhou Zhou's fantasy, the ultimate collector dropped a notification.
[The Ultimate Collector: You can only trade for 3 items a day.]
[Unless your quota increases, you won't be able to carry out your plan.]
"I would've dealt with it by delaying the time I get to use the advancement effect of the phantom talent, but the novice test is just 2 days from today"
Zhou Zhou muttered, hiding his thoughts from the ultimate collector.
He asked again.
'Can I trade for a gigantification potion?'
[The Ultimate Collector: You can trade for a 10m gigantification potion using one of the White platinum-tier item slots.]
[The attack and defensive prowess of such a giant can match any advance tier soldier.]
[A real giant of such height can match a special tier soldier in combat.]
[Gigantification can be deactivated after drinking the potion.]
"My soldiers can really become huge!"
Zhou Zhou was excited as he saw the chance to finally solve one of his soldiers' combat issues.
Making a decision for the trades of the day, he communicated with the ultimate collector.
'1 White platinum-tier potential advancement potion, 1 White platinum-tier city wide defensive barrier, and 1 ten meters gigantification potion.'
[The Ultimate Collector: Your trade is successful. Your items has been deposited into your spatial ring.]
Quickly checking his spatial ring, Zhou Zhou saw his goods.
"After trading 8/10 of all I have, I finally have a bit of hope in passing the novice lord test."
Reading through the information relating to the goods, he obtained the following knowledge:
The potential advancement potion directly increased ones potential to the White platinum-tier advance grade.
The city-wide defensive barrier won't be affected by any attack lower than that of a White platinum-tier advance grade.
The 10m gigantification potion would grant one the stamina to remain gigantic for as long as 12 hours unless deactivated.
"I'm really looking forward to the novice test."
He grinned as he stored the remaining goods not traded due to the limit of his daily quota.
Leaving his lord's courtyard, he came in front of the gate of summoning together with Hui Teng and Bai Yung.
The area around the gate of summoning was no longer occupied by any residential tents or buildings, but a military base.
It was made so to avoid the residents from seeing the scene of summoned soldiers getting sacrificed for promotion energy.
Throwing in the recruitment book looted from the flame demon fog wolf lord, Zhou Zhou watched as a flame elemental archer stepped out.
He was wearing fiery red armor, carrying a fiery red bow and arrow on his back, and a fiery red short sword hanging from his waist.
He opened his personal information.
