BXBX NOVEL Chapter 301 Bamboo Scroll
pᴀɴ(ᴅ)ᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ In Golden Hawk City,
After returning to Golden Hawk City, Leo asked the city manager to guide the cute panda into one of the guest rooms in the City Hall.
“Victor, assemble the mercenary squad leaders along with their main team. It’s important and urgent.”
As for Leo, he summoned the shadow vampire king and ordered him.
“Yes, master.”
“As for those who awakened their talent a week back, let them continue to train in the wilderness under the supervision of their respective mercenary squads.”
Leo had already thought about his plan for the mass exploration of the [God Ruins]. So, he gave one order after another to the shadow vampire king.
According to his plan, first, he would meet the mercenary squad leaders and the monster/beast leaders before dividing the [God Ruins] for them to clear.
After that, these leaders were in charge of forming teams in their squads in clearing the [God Ruins] allocated to them with their squad members.
However, Leo would order them that no squad member should be left out in clearing the [God Ruins].
“I will send my messenger bats now.”
Soon, a small colony of bats came out of Victor’s body as they spread in different directions.
‘I should leave my telepathic imprint on them so that I can instantly contact them through my [Telepathy].’
Leo silently thought about it as he entered the city hall.
….
In one of the rooms, the Cute Panda was resting on the bed while looking at the ceiling.
‘Creak’
The door opened as Leo entered the room.
“It looks like you are eager to buy the things from me.”
The panda didn’t look at Leo as it said to Leo before continuing, “Anyway, in my current condition, I can only open my bag one time. So, you can only buy one item for now.”
“Only one item?”
Leo raised his brows when he heard the panda’s words before saying, “It’s alright. One is better than nothing.”
“Also, I am just a newly ascended Otherworldly Merchant. So, don’t expect some heaven-defying items.”
The cute panda didn’t want its customers to get disappointed when they saw the items it showed. Hence, it informed Leo before summoning a bamboo scroll and giving it to Leo.
“Bamboo scroll?”
Leo took the scroll and opened it with an exciting look, wondering what kind of treasures the cute panda has.
“What? There are only three items?”
However, Leo frowned when he saw there were only three items on the bamboo scroll.
“I got a limited stipend during my trainee period. So, I could only buy a few items since it is my first official trade as a Supreme-ranked Otherworldly Merchant.”
The cute panda was not embarrassed to state the reason why he had only three items.
Moreover, it looked a little proud because, unlike the other trainee merchants, it didn’t spend money on useless things and saved as much as possible to have a good start after it officially became an Otherworldly Merchant.
“Oh. So, you are trained to become the Otherwordly Merchant.”
Leo was a little surprised; however, when he thought about the existence of the otherworldly beings and the ancient voice that could toy with them. Leo was no longer surprised that there was an organization that trains the otherworldly merchants.
‘Anyway, let’s see how useful these three items can be.’
Leo stopped thinking about the other things and focused on the items.
[Available Items]
1) Small City Upgrade Stone: It can unlock a random special building in the city or give a random effect for a city. It can only be used by city leaders who created a city.
2) Passive Citizen Experience Booster: Once activated, the experience of all the citizens resting in the city would passively increase by 100 points per minute for three hours.
3) A Grade 1 World Ticket: An item that opens the portal to a random grade 1 world and allows the user to stay seven days.
‘Each one of these items is extremely useful to me.’
After reading the information about the items that he could buy from the Otherwordly Merchant, Leo could not help but wanted to buy all of them.
However, he didn’t forget the panda’s words that he could only pick one item because the other party didn’t have the energy to bring out the three items from its bag.
‘So far, my city only has four special buildings: The City Hall, The Hall of the Divine Gods, The Hall of the Monster Gods, and The Hall of the Bestial Gods. Each of them has its own special use.’
Leo started thinking about which item he needed the most by listing out the usefulness of the three items before selecting one.
‘According to Selphie, she can’t buy the Special Building through the city hall’s pillar. So, if I can get a new special building, it will increase the strength of my entire city.’
Whether it was a special building or a special effect on the city, the entire city, and its citizens in it would be benefitted from it.
‘The Passive Citizen Experience Booster can provide 100 passive experience points per minute for three hours which is equivalent to 18000 experience points.’
Even though Leo felt he needed the first item, he didn’t select it directly and calculated the benefits of selecting the second item.
‘With 18000 Experience points, a rank 1 hero could nearly become a rank 5 hero. It is not for a single person but for all the citizens in the city.’
From calculating the experience points received from that item per single citizen, Leo could tell a rank 1 hero would become rank 5 hero just within three hours.
Moreover, his city has 122 newly awakened heroes who might have reached rank 3 after one week of training. If they get that 18000 experience points, they would become rank 6 heroes.
‘It will give quite a good boost to my city.’
Leo felt this was a little better than the first item and his eyes landed on the last time which was a grade 1 world ticket.
‘Even though it is a good time to enter a grade 1 world for training, I have so many things to do in this world. So, I can buy the last items slowly after the panda recovers its strength.’
Leo didn’t think much about the grade 1 world ticket and pondered for a moment.
“By the way, there will be no restrictions for me to buy all these items from you, right?”
Suddenly, Leo thought of something and asked the panda about it.
“There is no limitation on my traders and you are allowed to buy all the items from me if you have enough money.”
The cute panda revealed a smile as it continued, “Also, I will recover my strength completely within seven days. You can buy the remaining two items at that time.”
“I have to wait for seven days? Excellent.”
Once he got the answers he wanted from the cute panda, Leo revealed an excited smile and said, “I will buy the Small City Upgrade Stone then.”
“By the way, I still don’t know how to pay. Will you take treasures from this world to trade for the items you have?”
