NOVEL WEB Chapter 23
Chapter 23: Gold-Rank Extraordinary Item!
As soon as James entered this place.
He heard many surprised cheers and disappointed sighs.
He also heard all sorts of envious exclamations and frustrations…
Various emotions were mixed together here.
“Sigh, I thought that item would definitely be something good, but it’s just an ordinary plant. It’s not even worth a single brass coin!”
“Me too, brother. I thought that the monster I hunted was a rare creature, but it turned out that it was just an ordinary pig that was infected by an unknown force and had no value.”
“Me too. That thing of mine could only be exchanged for five Silver Coins!”
“…”
“Are you here to show off? Get lost!”
Some were happy, while others were sad.
Such was a place like this.
There were too many adventurers who came to exchange items for money.
Thus, there were five long queues here.
They were all about the same length.
Just as James was hesitating which line to start queueing up at…
A Level 6 Silver adventurer came to his side.
“Sir, do you not know which line to queue up at?”
“Hehe, let me tell you. The one on the right is a veteran extraordinary item connoisseur, Mr. Carson!”
“He has the most authority and is the fastest in appraising extraordinary items!”
“If you queue up there, he would definitely be the first to appraise your items.”
James looked him up and down when he saw the adventurer who had suddenly come to talk to him.
Seeing his young face, he smiled.
Since he was so young, it seemed like he did not deliberately say this to cheat James.
“In that case, Sir, let’s line up together!”
Thus, the two of them walked to the rightmost row and waited.
“Sir, may I know how to address you?” James smiled and asked as he looked at the Level 6 Silver young man.
“My name is Jason! I just became an adventurer two months ago!” Jason said with a smile.
Jason was a new adventurer. Although his strength was only at Level 6 Silver, he had already carried out many missions.
Besides his passion for the adventurer profession, it was mostly because of his lack of money.
In a recent mission, he happened to obtain an item with extraordinary powers.
It was the horn of an unknown monster.
Just by looking at its aura, one could tell that this horn was definitely from a Gold-rank monster.
Jason was overjoyed when he obtained this horn.
He understood that even though this thing was useless to him…
… he would definitely be able to obtain a large sum of money if he were to trade this horn in.
With this beautiful fantasy in mind, he came to the Adventurer’s Guild to exchange this extraordinary item.
Thus, when he saw James, who was in a difficult position, he went forward to talk to him.
The two of them chatted for a while and learned some information about each other.
“By the way, James, what extraordinary item did you bring to exchange for money?”
Before Janes could respond, Jason took out the horn he had obtained. He didn’t try to hide anything and started to brag.
“Mine is the horn of an unknown monster. I’m not bragging, but my horn must be the horn of a Gold monster!”
“It’s worth at least… 50 Silver Coins!”
He spoke very loudly and did not hide anything.
In fact, he was deliberately allowing everyone to hear him.
As expected, everyone turned to look at him after he finished speaking.
They also noticed the horn in his hand.
The moment they looked at the horn again…
Everyone could feel the powerful aura coming from the horn.
No one had any doubts!
This was definitely a Gold-rank horn!
In other words, this horn could really be exchanged for Silver Coins!
“Wow! This person is so lucky!”
“That’s right. I’ve been here seven or eight times, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an extraordinary item!”
“Me too!”
“…”
This was the first time many people present had seen something of this level.
Thus, they were all amazed.
Seeing that his item had attracted everyone’s attention, Jason’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
He looked at James smugly and asked, “Dear James, what about you?”
“Don’t worry, take them out. Although they won’t be better than mine, I won’t laugh at you!”
“Come on, my friend, don’t be shy!”
The people around them looked at James expectantly when they heard this.
Both of them seemed to be companions. In that case, as Jason’s companion, James’s belongings would definitely be decent as well.
As a result, James saw himself instantly become the center of attention.
James smiled.
Although it had only been a short time, he could sense that Jason was from Scarlet City.
Thus, he liked to be direct.
Therefore, Jason did not know that James would be looked down upon by everyone if the things he took out were not as good as Jason’s.
However, James knew that Jason did not mean to do this.
Moreover, James was confident that the offerings offered by those cultists would definitely not be inferior to this Gold-rank horn.
He also felt that there might be something wrong with this horn.
After all, since he had the strength of a Gold-rank, he could sense that there was something wrong with the aura emitted by this horn.
It felt a little empty and unreal.
However, it could also be due to the monster’s characteristics.
Without thinking further about this, he took out the item he had come to exchange this time.
It was a square transparent container.
It had an eyeball inside and seemed very terrifying.
The moment he took it out…
Someone exclaimed.
“Gasp~ That eyeball looks terrifying. It looks like the eyeball of a Gold-rank monster!”
“That’s right. Although it doesn’t have any aura, since he is a companion of the one who took out the horn, his items are definitely not ordinary.”
“Indeed, the strong are all the same!”
“It looks like that terrifying eyeball is worth a Gold Coin, right?”
“I think so…”
“What do you mean ‘think’? The eyeball of a Gold-rank monster is definitely worth a Gold Coin!”
“In that case, there will be two Gold-rank extraordinary items today!”
“I don’t think this has occurred in Saint Laurent City for the past few years!”
“That’s right!”
“Pfft!”
However, while some people were happily discussing the items…
They heard a snicker.
The people who had just spoken heard this and looked over angrily.
It was from an adventurer who had also come to exchange items for money.
“What are you laughing at!”
The adventurer wasn’t afraid when he heard this. Instead, he smiled disdainfully.
“I’m laughing at your ignorance!”
“How ignorant!”
The adventurers who were scolded for being ignorant were instantly infuriated.
“What do you mean ignorant! Since you have the knowledge, can you recognize it?”
“That’s right, you act as if you know things very well!”
“If you don’t know, then don’t come here and pretend. You will enrage everyone!”
The adventurer shook his head when he heard this and spoke with disdain.
“Of course I recognise it!”
“So you recognise it? Tell me then! If what you say isn’t true, I’ll stab you to death!”
“That’s right, me too!”
Under everyone’s furious gazes, the adventurer spoke.
