BXBX NOVEL Chapter 288: 288, Tina good girl! _1
Soon, a list of military merit exchange items appeared before him.
The items on the exchange list were divided into five categories: [Equipment], [Potions], [Items], [Special Items], and [Pet Eggs].
The cheapest item under the [Potions] category was the [Beginner Mana Potion], which only required 10 military merits.
More expensive things were the [Heavenly Potion], [Super Speeding Potion], [Advanced Health Recovery Potion], etc., with prices ranging from 100 to 1,000.
All the [Equipment] listed were of the first stage.
White-quality equipment cost an average of 100 military merits, green cost 300, blue cost 900, and purple cost 2,700.
The top-ranked players had twenty to thirty thousand military merits. It seemed that they could exchange for a few purple equipment pieces through this battle.
The [Pet Eggs] category offered a blind draw lottery, with each draw costing 500 military merits, or ten draws for 4,500 military merits. There was no guarantee in the ten draws, but there was a roughly 1% chance of getting an epic quality pet, a 10% chance for a blue one, and 39% for a green one.
The Sky Dragon and other lucky players would probably like this.
There were all sorts of odds and ends in the [Items] category, including monster materials, fur material for crafting equipment, ores, medicinal herbs, and more. None of them were very expensive.
However, when Su Yu saw the [Special Items] category, he was a bit startled.
If he remembered correctly, there wasn’t this category in the exchange list picture posted on the forum, right?
With curiosity piqued, he opened this category.
He found that there was only one item available for exchange in the [Special Items] category – [Tina’s Blood].
[Tina’s Blood (Consumable)]
When used on an item, it elevates that item to gold quality with a 100% chance.
Note: The higher the rarity and level of the item being elevated, the lower the elevation chance, down to a minimum of 1%.
Remark: Divine Bloodline, terrifying as such.
There was a small note next to [Tina’s Blood]: It can be exchanged for 1,000 military merits per drop, with no upper limit to the number of exchanges. This reward is only visible to the player [Nemesis].
Su Yu was shocked: “!!!”
He never expected to find [Tina’s Blood] here! Moreover, there was no limit to its exchange! He should have collected more military merits on the battlefield if he’d known earlier!
However, upon calming down, he quickly figured out where this blood came from.
This must be a benefit Tina had arranged discreetly for him.
In the past, whenever Tina got injured, Su Yu was always there to collect her blood. All of these gestures were seen by Tina.
Tina knew that Su Yu wanted her blood but couldn’t give it to him directly.
As the commander of the army, Tina must have instructed the quartermaster to modify the merit list, adding her blood to it and limiting it to an exchange only Su Yu could make. It gave Su Yu an indirect channel to attain her blood, and it was only today that Su Yu found out about it.
“Thank you, Tina,” Su Yu silently expressed his gratitude in his mind.
What a considerate girl she was!
He vowed to make it up to her if given the chance!
Currently, Su Yu had 228,000 military merits.
Without hesitation, he used all his military merits to exchange for [Tina’s Blood], receiving 228 drops in total.
At the same time, he received a system message, informing him that these 228 drops of [Tina’s Blood] had arrived in his mailbox. He wondered how many drops in total Tina had prepared.
As for the remaining 1,000 or so military merits, he casually exchanged for some potions and planned to leave them in the guild warehouse.
After completing the exchange, Su Yu walked towards the crowd outside the warehouse with a smile on his face.
He was extremely satisfied with this exchange!
228 drops of [Tina’s Blood]!
With the Sky Dragon’s luck, this could glamorize two or three pieces of his gear, especially the [Moon God Clan Badge], a top-tier accessory. If he could bring it into reality, his fighting ability would surely double!
Originally, he wanted to help the surrounding players exchange for some purple equipment and potions, but it seemed he would have to apologize to them.
Seeing the joyous expression on Su Yu’s face, the surrounding players chuckled and said: “Boss Ke, judging by your look, you must be very satisfied with this exchange, aren’t you?”
“Very satisfied,” Su Yu smiled and nodded: “Much more satisfying than I’d anticipated!”.
“Boss Ke, what did you exchange for? Show us!” another player asked.
“Um… no.” Su Yu shook his head.
Only he and Sky Dragon knew about the glamorizing effect of [Tina’s Blood], not even Snow Leopard knew about this, and he had also told Sky Dragon to keep it a secret.
Players could potentially upgrade to the seventh or even eighth stage in the late game, but due to her status as an indigenous being, Tina could possibly reach the seventh stage, but breaking through to the eighth was almost impossible.
He didn’t want to regret coming home one day to find that Tina had turned into a “bloody Tina” after the news of “[Tina’s Blood] Can Glamorize Gear” got out.
Moreover, Su Yu was also wary of the darker side of the players. If this news leaked out, it was highly likely that Tina would be attacked towards the late game.
“Goodbye, everyone! I have to go now!” Su Yu waved goodbye to the players and quickly departed from the warehouse area by using the [Flash Skill] twice in succession.
On Red Maple Street next to the armory, Su Yu found a mailbox and securely put the 228 droplets of [Tina’s Blood] into his backpack.
Afterward, he sent a private message to Sky Dragon: “Sky Dragon, [House of Warm Wind] tavern, large map coordinates (251, 164), need to talk to you.”
Sky Dragon: “Tavern? Are you inviting me to a room? I’m underage, you know.”
Su Yu almost fell off his horse.
How did Sky Dragon, who was so young, know about these things?
Su Yu: “It’s a ‘tavern,’ not a ‘hotel.’ It’s purely for drinking, no accommodation.”
Sky Dragon: “No accommodation and you still want to go?”
Su Yu:
Sky Dragon: “Just kidding [smiley face emoji]. On my way.”
Su Yu reached the [House of Warm Wind] tavern ahead of Sky Dragon.
After entering the tavern, he ordered a pot of wine and a dish of fennel beans, as usual.
He then thought for a moment and ordered a glass of strawberry juice and a dish of fennel beans for Sky Dragon.
The tavern owner was aware of Su Yu’s routine. He just smiled and went to prepare the food in the kitchen without saying anything.
Shortly after the two piles of crispy fried fennel beans were served, Sky Dragon arrived at the tavern riding the Howling Moon Wolf, Snowy.
“What’s up?”
Upon entering the tavern, Sky Dragon jumped onto a bar stool. She picked up a fennel bean, popped it into her mouth, and started chewing. She took a sip of her strawberry juice and let out a satisfied sigh.
“This time I need your help to glamorize my equipment,” Su Yu smiled.
“Oh? You got some more [Tina’s Blood]?”
“Correct.”
“How many this time?”
“A total of 228 drops.”
“228 drops? That’s not a small amount!” Sky Dragon was a bit surprised.
228 drops, or 228 ml – Could Nemesis have coaxed Tina into a “blood drive”?
But this was none of her business. She nodded and said: “Okay, I’ll help you glamorize your gear. It’s time to show off my ‘lucky moments’!”.
“Go for it, Sky Dragon!” Su Yu cheered, sending a “Glamorization Commission” to her.
