Free Web NovelChapter 1033: Chapter 380 [Ancestral Monkey Power]_2
The small boat entered the alley and the scene that Ree Shil saw made his eyes brighten.
The alley wasn’t wide, just wide enough for the small boat to fit through.
Ree Shil only needed to reach out his hand to touch both banks.
At this time, on both sides of the riverbank, various models of busy cooking robots were standing.
"How about it, have you ever heard of the ’floating feast’?
If you want to eat something, you just reach out and take it," said the small eyelash person with a smile.
Ree Shil had heard of the floating feast.
It involved placing food on water to let it flow to diners along its path.
However, having the food fixed and the diners follow the water was something he had never heard of before.
Indeed, the seafood delicacies of Generation City were an eye-opener.
Shell-less shrimp, a kind of large shrimp that didn’t have any hard shell.
Keth’s Octopus, an ugly-looking kind of octopus that was actually quite delicious.
Cotton fish, which after cooking had soft spikes like cotton and melted in the mouth upon entry.
There were all kinds of other seafood, but Ree Shil dared not eat too much.
Because just having traveled 1/4 of the distance, he had already seen that the small eyelash person’s ankles were swollen as big as steamed buns.
After finishing this floating feast, nightfall had already descended.
It was still this small boat carrying the two of them that arrived alongside a cruise ship as large as a major building.
The cruise ship traveled slowly, but due to its size and weight, it still stirred up powerful waves.
Luckily, although their small boat was diminutive, it actually contained a lot of high-tech equipment.
It effortlessly cut through the waves as if unaffected, smoothly docking with the cruise ship.
"This is Generation City’s largest night cruise, which circles around a fixed route every evening. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The reason I said the exchange wasn’t open before was because it hadn’t set sail yet.
Your purpose for this trip is on that ship."
Under the guidance of the small eyelash person, the two boarded the cruise ship.
Standing on the cruise ship, they were greeted by the gentle evening breeze.
It brought with it a hint of moisture and the taste of sea salt.
The ship’s lighting was brilliant, reflected on the river surface like stars scattered in the water.
Coupled with the various lights of the buildings along the way, it was as if they had entered a dreamlike world.
The passengers on the boat were full of laughter and cheer, with singing voices from time to time, and the sound of musical instruments echoing in the air, adding a romantic touch to the evening.
"Let’s go, let’s go inside and take a look."
After enjoying the night scene for a while, the small eyelash person took the lead and walked into the cabin.
The exchange was located in the most secretive corner of the bottom layer of the cruise ship, guarded by special personnel.
Originally, Ree Shil thought that just like before, he would have to play a card game with the gatekeeper.
But as soon as he showed his identity as a representative of the City Competition team, the other party let them through immediately, and their attitude was quite respectful.
"This is Generation City’s secret exchange," said the small eyelash person with a laugh as they walked in.
Ree Shil followed his footsteps, surveying his surroundings.
The decorating style here was starkly different from that of Lan-Lan Metropolis, but it was still a bar.
He was greeted by an abundance of colorful LED lights, creating a dazzling universe-like atmosphere.
The entire bar was designed like a space station, with walls painted with interstellar patterns and galaxy planetscapes.
The transparent, streamlined chairs and sofas seemed to be created using virtual reality technology, making it feel as though one were floating in the universe.
The ceiling was a huge dome, simulating the appearance of twinkling stars.
Ree Shil’s gaze eventually landed on a cabinet made of Blue Light Energy, where the consignment cabinet was located.
The consignment cabinets there were also shimmering with a golden light.
The glows of various A-class materials were outshining those of the lower-level ones.
"How come I don’t see any S-rank materials?" Ree Shil asked after a cursory look around.
"S-rank materials? They’re a bit more ostentatious.
Even regular members of the exchange don’t have opportunities to come into contact with them."
The small eyelash person laughed and explained, "But no worries, I’ve had a few transactions with the seller in the past, and he trusts me quite a bit.
So I have the authority to take a look, after all, having one more person to market the items can increase his transaction success rate."
After saying this, he went over and exchanged a few words with the staff.
Shortly after, the staff made a phone call and handed it to the small eyelash person.
"OK, done."
After some communication, he came back.
Before long, the staff led them to a small room.
Upon entering the room, Ree Shil immediately saw the familiar sight of colorful diamond light.
A card that was secured with a small anti-theft lock array was placed in a transparent safety box made of an unknown material.
"Look, this is the material," he said.
After the staff member left, the petite individual stepped forward and placed a hand on top of the safe.
Leaning in, Ree Shil could now see the projection of the Material Card.
It was a strand of golden beast hair whose origin he couldn’t identify, slowly rotating above the card face.
Compared to the S-rank material cards he had seen before, this strand of hair seemed quite plain.
"Can I take a closer look?"
He asked the petite individual.
"No problem, I happen to know the password."
The petite individual agreed readily.
He had heard that some card-making theories relate to the texture of the card’s projection.
Therefore, before making the cards, there was no lack of people who would observe closely.
Ree Shil’s request was understandable.
"Just give me a moment."
However, to his surprise, after Ree Shil got hold of the Material Card, he merely glanced at it for a few seconds, then lay down on the spot.
"Huh?"
This situation left the petite individual a bit baffled.
But when he saw that Ree Shil was merely pinching and rubbing the card, he understood.
Maybe others relied on touch rather than visual inspection.
At this time, information about that Material Card popped up in Ree Shil’s mind.
"Ancestral Monkey Power": Has a chance to grant S-rank potential to related cards
It seems all S-ranks are of one type: "potential" and "related cards", and then it doesn’t tell you what the related cards are.
But since the words "Ancestral Monkey" were mentioned, the first thing Ree Shil thought of was naturally "Martial Monkey".
He was indeed aiming to obtain an S for "Martial Monkey".
However, the preview was disappointing.
There was no compatibility between the two.
With the S-rank card in hand, he couldn’t just let it go.
So, unwilling to give up, Ree Shil previewed it with all his cards.
After a while, he opened his tired eyes.
"How is it, did you figure out anything?"
The petite individual was sitting on the ground next to him.
"Water..."
Ree Shil was about to simply say "no", but suddenly something came to mind.
Right, he still had that card.
"A Trace of Ancestral Monkey Bloodline": Enhances certain potentials of the corresponding card
This card was drawn in the world of the Nameless Sword Spirit; at that time, he had already previewed its compatibility with "Martial Monkey", although it wouldn’t change the card face.
He had kept it unused, just in case.
After all, it was an A-class Material Card, and "Martial Monkey" was already A-level; it would be a waste to use it.
But now, he was willing to take a gamble.
After all, these two material cards were clearly related.
Both contained the words "Ancestral Monkey".
With this thought, Ree Shil no longer hesitated.
He directly fused "Martial Monkey" with "A Trace of Ancestral Monkey Bloodline".
Then, he previewed the new "Martial Monkey" with "Ancestral Monkey Power".
The result that appeared made his eyebrows raise.
"Martial Monkey" + "Ancestral Monkey Power" = "False Saint" (Diamond Edge A)
It really worked!
Although the name "False Saint" was a bit odd, after all, an S-rank card couldn’t be too bad.
Even Samuel Chess’s pseudo S-rank "Cannon Chess" was stronger than the top A-rank cards.
"How does the seller want to exchange this card?"
Ree Shil thus asked the petite individual again.
"He only exchanges for mechanical class S-rank material.
No, actually, I specifically spoke with him about this before."
Because he owned "Flower and Fruit Mountain Guard", the petite individual had also thought about trading this card. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"I showed him the list from the Administrator’s Point Bank, and he took a liking to one of the material cards there.
He made it clear that if I wanted to trade, I would have to bring out that specific S-rank material from the list."
As he said this, the petite individual revealed a wry smile.
With his own score still not even reaching 1000, he had no idea how long it would take to exchange for that S-rank mechanical material card.
"Then if I manage to exchange for that mechanical material card and trade it, would you mind?"
After listening, Ree Shil’s eyes lit up.
