From the Abyss of Stars Part 2

104. Slapping Faces is More Fun Than Hitting People, Hehehe!

Yet, despite everything, Li Aozi remained calm. He found a young man who didn't look like a swordsmith and bought something from him that could hardly be called a 'weapon.'

It was a bronze greatsword resembling a box, covered with dark gold mysterious runes. The hilt was even chipped in places. At 1.5 meters long, it looked more like a flattened iron bar than a sword, though it was finely crafted and would make a nice decoration.

Law III sent the image back home for expert evaluation, and the experts' feedback was surprisingly good: "An excellent piece of craftsmanship with good investment potential, valued at least at 2 million Debis."

"Only 2 million," one of the Law III agents scoffed.

That was nothing compared to the items Yanagimon had chosen.

Aside from 'Tsu: Shadow's Edge' and this weapon called 'Dust-Sealed Sanctuary,' the rest of Li Aozi's selections had low value.

Even more laughably, Li Aozi had already prepaid for those two weapons, directly buying them, which only made people chuckle—this behavior clearly exposed Li Aozi's thinking: he believed the eight pieces of junk he picked were worth more than the two most valuable items.

"No doubt, that's the mindset of a gambler."

"He's already lost. Poor guy, that's 1.9 billion Debis..."

"Though, with looks like his, money probably isn't a concern. After all, he's Li Aozi."

Li Aozi pushed his cart to the judges' table, joining Yanagimon for the appraisal. Compared to the smug Yanagimon, even the judges couldn't help but subtly remind Li Aozi:

"Your taste in the last two weapons is pretty good."

The implication was clear—the other eight were garbage, not worth their time.

"I know. These are my choices. I trust in Tianhuan craftsmanship."

Li Aozi's calm attitude made the judges shake their heads. Seeing his determination, they began the official appraisal.

Li Aozi's evaluation was quick, and within a minute, the total value was announced: 3.3 billion Tianhuan Zhub, roughly 17 million Debis. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad; one of the sets was undervalued, and Li Aozi had snagged it at a discount, worth 7 million Debis.

The two "masterpiece" weapons Li Aozi picked together were valued at 9 million Debis.

Li Aozi wasn't surprised by the results—ordinary people couldn't activate or comprehend the true value of "masterpieces."

Since Li Aozi had already paid for the last two weapons, they were handed directly to him. As for the remaining 8 million Debis worth of weapons, according to the rules, the victor would cover the cost.
