Chapter 305: Vehicle, Ace's Striker - Modified
Mad Potter's afro had a diameter of over half a meter, visible from a great distance.
When Bai Cangshu arrived at his stall, he found a dark-skinned, muscular man with short black hair and a large sword on his back standing in front of it.
"Potter, I can give you a premium for this vehicle, provided you change its propulsion to magic."
Mad Potter waved his hand, impatiently shooing the man away.
"This isn't about the premium."
"Did you two sign a contract?"
The man pressed, but Potter shook his head, denying the guess, and said with a serious expression,
"No contract was signed, but this matter concerns my professional integrity. Integrity, do you understand?!"
The man's expression turned cold. It was well-known that Reincarnators were never a profession with integrity. If a Reincarnator refused you based on integrity, it most likely meant they had no intention of cooperating with you at all.
"Mad Potter, Red Lotus probably won't have much time to look after external teams recently. I advise you to carefully consider my offer."
The man's negotiation failed, so he resorted to threats.
But Mad Potter still ignored him.
Bai Cangshu happened to arrive at the stall at this moment. He was tall, and his pink robe was quite striking, so both Mad Potter and the man recognized him instantly.
"Are you satisfied with this thing?"
In his stall, a narrow metal dinghy, over two meters long but less than half a meter wide, originally bright yellow, had been repainted blue and white by Mad Potter.
[Ace's Striker - Modified]
[Quality: Rare (Modified Silver Plot Equipment)]
[Description: The mount of Gol D. Ace in the One Piece World and its derivative worlds, modified by Alchemist Mad Potter with cloud shells and high-tech equipment.]
[Usage Requirement: Possess lightning-type energy, and the energy value is no less than 15.]
[Effect 1: Depending on the lightning power output, it can move at high speed on the water surface at 100-500 knots.]
[Effect 2: Can move in the air by releasing cloud shells. Air movement speed is faster, but energy consumption increases by 75%.]
This item wasn't particularly exquisite. Purely in terms of volume and efficiency, it wasn't as good as high-tech vehicles like the Green Goblin Glider.
Nor was it as convenient as magic-side items like the Flying Broom.
But those two were extremely expensive and usually had no market value. Without the convenient exchange methods of the Ancestor Unlimited Flow, it was quite difficult to obtain a Green Goblin Glider that could be taken out of a mission world in the current space.
Moreover, as a Reincarnator specializing in physical techniques who used 'Qi' as energy, there weren't many choices besides high-tech vehicles.
Before finding an ability like Air Dance, Bai Cangshu still needed to use such vehicles for long-range movement.
"Not bad. Give me a quote."
This item could quickly travel across the sea and in the air using lightning, and because of the presence of cloud shells, to a certain extent, it could also create footholds out of thin air in the air. Combined with Bai Cangshu's Moonwalk, his mobility would be quite high.
"Tao Bai Bai, are you the one who had an appointment with Mad Potter?"
The man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, now scrutinized Bai Cangshu, his tone not particularly malicious.
He didn't come up and threaten him, then forcibly provoke a conflict, as Bai Cangshu had expected.
A person's name, a tree's shadow. Being able to survive the catastrophic team battle mission in the One Piece World and personally kill the rising star of the Eastern District, 'Flame Demon,' previously.
Tao Bai Bai had already made enough of an impression among Title-level Reincarnators to be regarded as one of their kind by these elite Reincarnators.
This man carrying a greatsword, as if cosplaying Guts, chose to retreat, much to Mad Potter's surprise.
"Since it's a guy like you, then we, Black Beast, won't compete for this item. Instead, Tao Bai Bai, are you interested in joining us?"
"I know you don't have a fixed team yet. Although Red Lotus seems to have a lot of people, they are just a rabble chasing after Luo Xi's skirts. That kind of gathering, heh, has no future."
The seemingly crude man now explained in a leisurely manner, persuading Bai Cangshu to join his team.
Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow. The name of this team seemed to hint at something.
The man continued to persuade.
"And, you know, Luo Xi is a woman after all. In many matters, she won't understand your needs..."
The man's blatant insinuation made Mad Potter frown. He was the type who could relieve stress by immersing himself in creation, so he couldn't understand why the people of Black Beast were so obsessed with plundering plot characters and sexual violence.
But right now, the establishment of End Empire had indeed caused quite a stir among Reincarnators, and both Red Lotus and Luo Xi were affected.
At this time, Mad Potter didn't want to conflict with Black Beast, so he didn't speak, just silently initiated a trade.
[GA99954770 (Mad Potter) has initiated a trade with you. Do you accept?]
Bai Cangshu chose to accept. At the same time, facing the man's invitation, he just smiled playfully.
"Hoh, female slaves, huh? I just happen to have one. I wonder if the female slaves your team captured have more powerful types..."
The man frowned. Powerful?
He couldn't understand Bai Cangshu's sexual preference.
Bai Cangshu took a step forward, and the black pendant on his ear swayed slightly. The small black figure was devouring the killing intent continuously generated from Bai Cangshu's body.
Derek's pupils constricted. He felt Tao Bai Bai's wickedness. This guy was a complete madman, just like the rumors said.
That momentary killing intent even startled him.
He realized that Tao Bai Bai was not an easy person to deal with, and his desire to recruit the other party into his command faded considerably.
"Haha, it seems you're also a guy with unique tastes. If you have a chance, you can come to our team's base to take a look and experience it..."
With that, Derek turned and left Mad Potter's stall, walking towards the distance. There, many plot characters were displayed in front of stalls, all of them mere shells with their thoughts and personalities erased. Bai Cangshu had no interest.
[Do you want to trade Modified Item: Ace's Striker for b-class special point * 1 + 12000 dimensional points?]
Highly efficient vehicles were quite overpriced in the space. Bai Cangshu's previous kill that earned him the Light Wheel 2000 not only got him the garuda knife from Li Renchou but also an additional super high-value item like the 'Inheritance of Arashi Tokumitsu of the Eight Jades Collection' for just one b-class special point.
Because for many Reincarnators, efficient vehicles basically corresponded to stronger survival capabilities.
Bai Cangshu allocated these singularity points and dimensional points from Li Qingzi's resources to the other party.
[You have obtained Item: Ace's Striker - Modified.]
Bai Cangshu stepped on it, and with a thought, his body immediately crackled. The electricity stored in his heart instantly entered the Striker. The next moment, the Striker flew into the air with the eruption of white cloud shells.
Its flight was more similar to a skateboard, using cloud shells to slide at high speed in the air. It was quite convenient to control. Bai Cangshu only briefly tried it out before putting it away.
[QO60833805 (Moon Demon) sent a message: There's a very troublesome guy who wants to see you. I think he's likely the most mysterious of the Four Demons, the Heart Demon.]
