Chapter 74 Extraordinary Bullets
The same procedure, the same place, Evan hid his face behind a mask, wearing a hooded robe.
I sat down in a corner of the living room with only one candle, and leisurely looked around. It seemed that there were more people at this gathering than last time.
When he came in, Eisinger Stanton, who was sitting on the sofa, visibly paused when he saw him, clearly recognizing Evan but not yet ready to greet him.
Once Essinger Stanton felt that most people had arrived, he announced the start of the party.
As usual, everyone first bought and sold what they wanted to sell. Evan found that most of it wasn't very valuable, and even if he needed it, he could buy it cheaply within MI9. Evan felt that attending the gathering of wild extraordinary individuals was...
The price-performance ratio isn't very high.
Just as Evan was about to doze off from boredom, a woman's voice rang out.
"I wonder if the gentleman with the 'Barbarian' potion recipe has arrived yet?"
Evan's spirits lifted; this was his ultimate goal, so he spoke:
"I've arrived, ma'am. Have you collected the materials I raised at the last rally?"
"No, but I brought some bullets with different effects this time, such as demon-hunting bullets that can deal with filthy and corrupted creatures, purification bullets that can deal with ghost-like monsters, and exorcism bullets that can deal with evil creatures."
These bullets can be loaded into a revolver; they are very powerful and useful. There are approximately 50 rounds, worth 500 points. Can I exchange them for the 'Barbarian' recipe?
Evan chuckled inwardly. This was something Klein had exchanged with this woman using the "Barbarian" formula in the future. He never expected that this deal would be repeated on his own. It was just a pity that he didn't lack this kind of extraordinary bullet. He had already received the corresponding bullets at MI9 this morning.
"These bullets sound powerful and easy to use, but unfortunately they are not what I need, so I'm sorry, I cannot make a deal with you."
The woman was clearly surprised that her carefully prepared super bullets had failed to impress Evan, and she was momentarily speechless. However, the others who heard that their deal had fallen through couldn't hold back any longer, because the super bullets were indeed powerful and easy to use, so they all made their own offers.
"I'll offer £550!"
"I'll offer £600!"
"I'll offer £601!"
After several rounds of bidding, the 50 extraordinary bullets were finally sold for 651 rust to a man who always only bid an extra pound.
This restored some confidence to the woman who sold the extraordinary bullets, but at the same time she was troubled about how to get the "Barbarian" recipe she was looking for from Evan. She had attended several parties, but had not seen the two materials that Evan had mentioned.
Just then, a man offered to sell the marrow crystals of the Fairy Spring. Since no one present was interested, Evan eventually bought them for 240 pounds.
Taking a small box from the waiter's tray, he snapped it open and saw the substance inside, which looked like a faded egg. Evan was certain it was real and readily placed the cash on the waiter's tray.
Soon, the transactions at the gathering came to an end, and everyone started exchanging information again. Evan listened for a while but didn't find any useful information, so he stopped paying attention.
Not long after, Eisinger Stanton, seeing that everyone had finished chatting, announced the end of the gathering and let the members leave one by one.
At this moment, the lady who had been hoping to obtain the "Barbarian" recipe suddenly suggested that she stay one last time and hoped to have a private conversation with Evan.
Eisinger Stanton looked at Evan, and seeing Evan nod in agreement, he agreed to the request.
After the other partygoers had all left, Eisinger Stanton tactfully left the living room, leaving the space to Evan and the lady.
After Isengard Stanton left, the female soldier spoke up immediately:
"I really want to get that 'Barbarian' recipe, but what you want is hard to find. I've tried asking around at several gatherings but haven't been able to find those two ingredients. I wonder if it's possible to get a different material or item in return?"
"Madam, my biggest goal right now is to take another step forward on the path to excellence. Those two materials are crucial to my promotion, so I cannot relax the requirements."
Evan remained calm and smiled as he said that he did not want to reveal his hand now; he still wanted to arrest this "lawyer" lady.
The entire living room fell silent. Evan's words were a bit too absolute, making the woman feel somewhat withdrawn.
Just when Evan thought the woman would have no choice but to give up, she unexpectedly said:
"You're an official Extraordinary, aren't you?"
Evan was startled, his body tensing slightly, but he quickly realized he was the 'cat,' not the 'mouse,' and that the gathering hosted by Eisinger Stanton was just an ordinary exchange meeting for extraordinary individuals, not a meeting organized by a cult. He relaxed and asked calmly:
How do you know?
"Extraordinary bullets are no less valuable than ordinary magical items in the eyes of wild extraordinary beings, and may even be more valuable because they have no side effects. Yet you ignore them. Clearly, you have an organization behind you that can provide you with these things and make you take them for granted."
In the Kingdom of Rune, potion recipes obtained through the arbitrator and lawyer pathways are strictly controlled, and the ingredients are extremely rare. Yet you acted without any scruples, so you must be backed by MI9, right?
The woman was very confident in her judgment. Her last sentence, though seemingly a question, was actually quite certain. She even wanted to see Evan's bewilderment after being ambushed.
To her disappointment, Evan didn't show the panic she expected after her identity was exposed. Instead, he casually crossed his legs and smiled, saying:
"Congratulations on guessing correctly, but I'm sorry, there's no reward."
Although Evan didn't intentionally or deliberately provoke her, the woman perceived him as mocking her, as if saying, "So what if you guessed it?"
This caused a nameless fire to suddenly ignite in her heart, but she was unable to vent it.
Evan, however, sensed her anger from her trembling body through the "golden gaze," but made no reaction.
Evan wasn't worried about losing everything, because selling the arbitrator and lawyer pathway formulas and materials in Backlund would indeed be tracked by MI9, something Evan only learned today, supposedly due to a sealed artifact.
However, Evan and the Klein in the original work are not afraid of this limitation, because Klein's recipe comes from the "Blasphemy Card".
Evan's recipe comes from "Lord of Mysteries," which cannot be traced by a sealed artifact. Therefore, Evan knows that before Klein arrives in Backlund and obtains the Blasphemous Card, this lady will absolutely not be able to obtain the corresponding recipe through any other means.
