Chapter 48: 47 Terror Intelligence
Although she lacked experience, had no wisdom from past lives, and didn\'t carry memories from a previous life, Yi Luo Xiang managed to achieve an astonishing turnaround by relying on her wisdom and precise calculations. Before Xin Yun could surprise her, she surprised him first.
The most terrifying part was that Yi Luo Xiang was still in a phase of rapid growth. Her wisdom was far from reaching its limit. After all, if she had been mediocre, she wouldn\'t have qualified to be one of the Nine Great Experts in her previous life.
Below the Nine Great Experts, although it couldn\'t be said that all beings were ants, they were definitely invincible. A single person was like an entire army. In comparison to Earth, if top masters were missiles, then the Nine Great Experts were nuclear bombs!
Fortunately, Xin Yun wasn\'t necessarily going to lose. Don\'t underestimate this set of crystal-level equipment. If calculated individually, these treasures were indeed almost comparable to the amethyst weapons in Yi Luo Xiang\'s hands. But would Xin Yun be involved in such child\'s play?
A set, right… With the memories from his past life, Xin Yun finally completed his collection of the set on the last day. The value of a crystal-level set was definitely incomparable to a single piece of amethyst equipment.
In the last era, there were three major transactions that were highly spoken of, and the first one was naturally the exchange of Divine Dragon Fruit for Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stones. As for the second, it was the successful assembly of a crystal-level set from over a million treasures on the market!
Perhaps ordinary people do not understand the preciousness of a set. You should know... In one-on-one comparisons, the power of crystal-level equipment is more than ten times weaker than that of amethyst-level equipment. However, the power unleashed by a crystal-level set is absolutely not comparable to the power of ten amethyst-level individual pieces.
Having one piece of crystal-level armor is nothing to those great clans, as they can produce such level of equipment themselves. But to gather a set, even if they have the production capabilities, would likely still be beyond their powers. Usually, it takes tens of millions of years to accumulate a complete set.
Each piece of equipment has unique abilities, and a so-called set occurs when two pieces resonate in a similar fashion, enhancing each other. When all ten parts of a set resonate with each other, the power unleashed by the entire set is more than tenfold, surpassing the power of ten ordinary amethyst pieces.
Of course, sets also come in different tiers. Some are chain-activated, where each of the ten pieces activates another, forming a cycle. Although such a chain set is also quite expensive, it can only increase the overall power by double. The most expensive, however, is the set that Xin Yun has now managed to assemble.
The ten parts of the set can boost each other. Taking any one piece out can activate the other nine, and with ten pieces, tenfold power is elicited. Especially when the ten pieces are combined, they form a complete force field. This is the so-called set effect.
Once you put on this set, the wearer will have the strength comparable to a one-star level diamond expert. It might be attack power, defensive capability, or speed; this varies with the set.
To fully wield the power of a diamond-level piece of equipment, one must have the strength of a diamond level. However, this set only requires the strength of the crystal level to be fully utilized. If people are compared to drivers, then this set is a tank, armed for both offense and defense, and able to unleash power ten to even dozens of times greater than the wearer.
The set Xin Yun assembled is of the defense type. Once the entire set is put together, it will activate a one-star level diamond Shield. unless destroyed by diamond-level force, it would be invincible.
Looking at the ten pieces of crystal equipment, Yi Luo Xiang\'s face was full of smiles. Now she finally believed Xin Yun\'s words. No matter how difficult the situation you face, never get discouraged, never give up. As long as you work hard, there will definitely be a reward.
Over the past two weeks, Xin Yun had exchanged a piece of Gold equipment for ten pieces of crystal equipment, increasing the value by a hundredfold. But she wasn\'t doing bad either, exchanging a piece of Gold equipment for a piece of amethyst equipment, also a hundredfold increase! She wasn\'t falling behind at all!
Looking at Yi Luo Xiang\'s sneaky joy, Xin Yun laughed and said, "Yi Luo... don\'t get too happy too soon. Although you\'re doing quite well now, you have to remember, until things are completely over, anything can happen. If you become careless because of this and lose this competition, that\'s a minor issue. But if you lose your life because of such carelessness in the future, that would be..."
Hearing Xin Yun\'s words, if it were anyone else, they would definitely think that Xin Yun couldn\'t take losing and was getting a bit irritated. However, with Yi Luo Xiang\'s wisdom, plus her understanding of Xin Yun, she quickly came to a realization.
Her smile fading, Yi Luo Xiang\'s gaze sharpened again, and she nodded, "Don\'t worry, Xin. I won\'t underestimate the opponent again. There\'s still an entire afternoon left. I will continue to work hard, and if it\'s possible, I want to beat you!"
"Hahahahahaha..." Hearing Yi Luo Xiang\'s words, Xin Yun burst into laughter, slowly stood up, and said with admiration, "Good, I admire your courage. Now... I shall see your effort. Go for it. I won\'t let up either."
Hearing Xin Yun\'s words, Yi Luo Xiang nodded, quickly shoved the food in her hands into her mouth and left with her treasures. After Xin Yun\'s reminder and seeing his confident expression, she felt a sense of crisis. If she couldn\'t create another miracle, she would really lose. She had already tried so hard up to this point; she didn\'t want to lose!
Of course, her desire to win wasn\'t merely due to a simple competitive spirit. All along, she had been a burden to Xin Yun. She just wanted to prove through her own efforts that she wasn\'t a burden and that she was useful.
Watching Yi Luo Xiang leave quickly, Xin Yun smiled contentedly. He didn\'t set out his goods but just sat there, quietly waiting. All the trades that needed to be done had been completed. Now, he was only waiting for the target to appear.
Time ticked away second by second, and throughout the afternoon, Yi Luo Xiang returned several times. But each time, she saw Xin Yun sitting there with his eyes half-closed, the ten crystal pieces of equipment still in the box, and the promised miracle had not been performed. Could it be... that he had given up?
Although confused, Yi Luo Xiang didn\'t want to doubt Xin Yun. At the very least, before things came to light, she didn\'t want to do so. Even if Xin Yun was really wrong, she would only support and encourage him. That was all she could do and the only useful thing to do.
Finally, the sun dipped to the horizon, and the Treasure Exchange Convention was about to end. With a mysterious smile, Yi Luo Xiang returned to the stall. Looking over, she saw Xin Yun still sitting calmly there. Upon opening the box, she saw the ten crystal pieces of equipment shining with the brilliance of crystals inside.
Surprised, she closed the box, and Yi Luo Xiang\'s complexion turned pale. In her mind, she must have hurt him with her competitiveness. But heaven could bear witness that her strong desire to win was only because she wanted to help him more and not out of a wish to show off her abilities.
"Xin... are you angry with me?" Sitting next to Xin Yun with trepidation, Yi Luo Xiang cautiously asked.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang\'s question, Xin Yun was momentarily stunned, with a look of confusion. But soon, he realized what she was thinking, and with a laugh, Xin Yun said heartily, "You\'re really underestimating me. Do I seem like someone with such a small capacity for patience?"
"But..." Yi Luo Xiang said hesitantly, pointing to the box, "You haven\'t completed a single trade all afternoon. If it\'s not that I\'ve upset you, then..."
Smiling at Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun shook his head, "I haven\'t given up on trading. I\'m just waiting for the right opportunity. Before that, I don\'t need to make any more trades."
"But..." Yi Luo Xiang looked at Xin Yun urgently, then at the fiery red sun on the horizon, and said anxiously, "The sun is about to set, and the Treasure Exchange Convention is going to end completely. If we don\'t act soon, it will be too late!"
"Whiz, whiz..." As Yi Luo Xiang\'s words fell, a series of sharp breaking sounds cleanly reached from the sky, and looking up, a dozen black dots were flying over from where the fiery red sun was setting.
Seeing this, Xin Yun\'s eyes lit up with excitement, and he said to Yi Luo Xiang, "Yi Luo... this is the opportunity I\'ve been waiting for. Watch... Just a little longer, and you\'ll witness a miracle!"
