Chapter 1441 - Treasure of Time
Shi Feng was shocked when he saw the items on the table.
In the past, the only item the Countess had offered for trade was the Temporal Sand, yet now she had offered over ten items. Moreover, none of these items were any less valuable than the Temporal Sand.
As expected of the proprietess of Abyss City's blackmarket Shop. She even has an item like this. Shi Feng's gaze couldn't help but drift to a leaf of lambskin parchment.
Although the Temporal Sand was very valuable, players could obtain it from other sources. However, encountering the lambskin parchment on the table depended on luck.
This parchment was none other than the Magic Thruster Design.
The various large Guild would go crazy over this item.
The Magic Thruster was capable of increasing a ship's Movement Speed by 30%. To naval players, this item was a godsend.
Unlike on land, there were far fewer teleportation points available out at sea. If players wished to travel to a particular island to level, they generally had to travel by boat. A 30% increase to Movement Speed would undoubtedly save players a lot of travel time. Moreover, there were many sea monsters in the ocean. If an ordinary boat encountered a Boss-grade sea monster, escape was practically impossible. With the Magic Thruster, however, even an ordinary boat had a high chance of getting away safely. Players were even more likely to escape if they had an ordinary speedboat or better.
Hence, Magic Thrusters were highly sought after. Even players with cheap ships would be desperate for one.
The Magic Thruster's only drawback was that it was a Consumable item; it would disappear after being used for a certain amount of time. Moreover, depending on how much Mana it uses, the Magic Thruster's duration would differ. The smaller a ship was, the less Mana it would cost to enhance its Movement Speed and vice versa. As an example, on an ordinary speedboat, the Magic Thruster could last for 48 hours.
However, the Magic Thruster was not cheap. Even once the price had stabilized on the market, each thruster had sold for 1 Gold, 50 Silver in the past. It wasn't an item ordinary players could afford. Generally, only powerful adventurer teams and Guilds had purchased the item to augment their high-quality ships. With the speed boost, they could travel to more dangerous locations and reap greater rewards.
Shi Feng had never thought that Countess Katie Green would willingly offer such a precious design for exchange.
Only, the price was slightly high.
The Countess wanted 1,000 Mana Stones for the design…
Even though Shi Feng could synthesize Mana Stones with the Philosopher's Stone, it wasn't a cheap endeavor. Each Mana Stone required 50 Magic Crystals. In other words, that design would cost him 50,000 Magic Crystals.
Although he had accumulated quite a sum recently, he had spent a lot of his crystals during the fight against Crimson Castle. After taking into account his personal expenditures, he only had enough Magic Crystals to purchase two designs.
For a moment, Shi Feng wasn't sure what to do.
Magic Crystals were invaluable to Zero Wing. Without them, it's war weapons would be useless. If he spent all of the Guild's reserves to purchase the Magic Thruster Designs, he would regret the decision should the Guild come under attack.
