The items displayed in the cabinet are all samples.

It’s like setting a price benchmark, letting people know the level of this shop at

a glance.

They’re only meant to grab attention, not really expected to be sold out.

Like that double-handed great sword flashing with lightning, priced over a

billion.

Although its attributes are indeed exaggerated, its usage restrictions are also considerable.

A third tier Frost Knight’s great sword only weighs a little over a hundred kilograms. This thing weighs over 800 kilograms and requires a high affinity for lightning. It’s hard to imagine what kind physical attributes are needed to swing this freely.

But even as a gimmick, Leonard Churchill couldn’t help but admire the wealth

of “Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop”.

Previously, he thought he had made a small fortune with the spoils from

several Frost Knights.

But when he entered the shop and witnessed the wealth of a true top-tier Commerce Guild like this, he realized how little he knew about the world.

He felt like a mouse who had just entered a granary, incapable of describing his awe at the treasures before him.

He ignored those unrealistic items and focused on a Skill Card.

Leonard had obtained two Skill Cards in room 407, one with [Skill Advanced Firearms Mastery] and one [Skill- Shadow Submarine].

This was the third one he had seen.

He knew these Skill Cards were expensive, but he hadn’t expected them to be

this expensive.

“This [Skill- Wave Punch] costs 20 million?”

Upon hearing the price, Leonard’s expression was slightly peculiar.

This sample card displayed in the cabinet provided a rare long-distance attack skill for close-combat professionals.

But it was just a black iron skill card.

Compared to [Shadow Submarine], a silver quality card, how much would that

be worth?

No wonder Camilla said not to sell these Skill Cards as they were valuable.

Inwardly, Leonard couldn’t help but exclaim: “The people of the Upper City are richer than I imagined…”

He had visited various markets in Sinless City before and never saw a physical Skill Card for sale.

As soon as they were found in the Alternate Dimension, hunters would have them bought up at a high price by the Commerce Guild. Cards that allowed people to directly master extraordinary skills were few and far between. The goods that ordinary people could access were actually just the leftovers from the wealthier class.

He thought that they were not available to buy.

It appears now that it was just a matter of lacking financial status and connections.

Since he is in Sinless City, it can be said that this is the lowest strata of this

world.

He hadn’t even seen the extravagance of the nobles.

Looking at it now, the real treasures are in the hands of these top-tier financial powerhouse firms.

Before he could look any further, a blonde woman dressed in professional attire approached with a bright smile and asked, “Dear guest, what kind of merchandise are you looking for? Our shop has a stock of more than a hundred thousand goods. As long as there is something you require, we can provide it-”

Leonard tentatively replied: “I need some Skill Cards.

Knowing that Skill Cards often cost millions, upon hearing this, the blonde woman knew a high-paying customer had arrived.

With an even brighter smile than before, she bowed slightly and made a welcoming gesture,”Please have a seat in our private parlour, the attendant Wendy will provide you with satisfactory service.’

Looking at her, Leonard was somewhat surprised: Are they really for sale?

He thought it might just be a promotional stunt.

The woman was dressed in a very sexy outfit, and in this casual bow, a deep expanse of skin was fully exposed to view.

Unperturbed about showing off her sexy figure, she offered a slight smile with a touch of allure in her eyes and said, “Please, this way.”

With this scene, Leonard’s regard for the shop was elevated even more.

The owner of Great Ivan’s shop was skilled at VIP business reception and service.

Quite a business talent.

Leonard followed the woman upstairs to a small room with a screen.

It was spacious and yet, ingeniously designed to provide privacy for the

customers.

A lot of effort was put into the decor.

As he took a seat, a lady-in-waiting served him a drink.

Leonard had no intention of removing his gas mask, so he ignored the drink. Seeing this, Wendy, the blonde lady-in-waiting, didn’t show any surprise. She took out a product catalogue, gathered her skirt, and half-knelt beside Leonard, enthusiastically inquiring, “Sir, what kind of cultivation card do you prefer?”

Leonard nodded with silent approval at Wendy’s high professional standards. Even though he was dressed in plain hunter attire, there wasn’t a hint of disdain on her face.

After just a fleeting glimpse of her outside, in this VIP room and with her kneeling service, her proud posture was fully visible.

Perhaps this was a hidden privilege for VIPs?

Leonard stayed silent.

His gaze swept over the product catalog, and quickly found what he wanted, his eyes paused, “They really do have it!

The very first one was an ideal card.

[Skill: Primary Combat Mastery]

Description: A white-quality skill training card, granting mastery of primary level Kambato military fighting techniques (Lvi) after merging.

Fighting techniques are a compulsory combat skill for all close combat professions and are the most common Skill Cards.

The price was 1.8 million.

Not cheap at all.

Leonard’s gaze lingered on the catalogue for an instant and the attendant, seeing his hesitation, leaned in close to ask, “Sir, are you interested in this cultivation card?”

Leonard didn’t beat around the bush and simply replied, Yes.

His current physical attributes are considered above middle range among the Card Master Apprentices, but attributes alone are not enough.

Excellent fighting skills are what truly allow these attributes to shine.

Just like when he killed Dexter, the team captain in the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth, even if his physical values were higher, it wasn’t guaranteed that he would come out on top in a physical fight.

However, buying them was not as simple as he thought.

Upon hearing this, the girl said with a beaming smile, “Alright, I’ll have someone fetch them from the warehouse immediately.”

As she said this, she added, “However, sir- Skill cards are limited items in Sinless City. Our shop has a rule that we do not accept cash transactions for such goods. If you wish to purchase, you need to sell some items of value higher than the cards in our shop. And each person can only purchase two at most.”

With her voice sounding sweet and ambiguous, even the stringent limitation didn’t elicit any unpleasant feelings in the listener.

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s gaze slightly narrowed.

He didn’t rush to respond.

This was a roundabout way of “bartering”.

With a little thought, he could understand why there was such a rule.

Skill cards are invaluable and in high demand.

If they were for sale in exchange for cash only, especially with the opening discount, then the shop’s competitors would undoubtedly snatch up all the high-demand stock in no time.

That’s the reason for this restriction.

And this way of “bartering” was also very clever.

Hunters producing an item worth two million wouldn’t be common, but generally they were rare treasures.

Moreover, this is Sinless City, and there are many good things from the Old Continent.

This kind of transaction, which can attract popularity, might not necessarily mean a loss for the shop.

But if he could really buy it, that was good news for Leonard Churchill.

He also had spoils of war to sell, so bartering doesn’t really matter to him.

The girl saw him behave calmly throughout the process, which made her new customer even more remarkable.

She didn’t say much else, and leaned her large soft body against Leonard’s leg effortlessly, introducing warmly, “Please continue to look around, there may be other things that catch your eye. Skill cards are only available for sale during our opening event. If you want to buy them later on, you’ll need to have membership rights at our shop. You can earn points with every purchase, which can accumulate for membership rights. The higher the level, the more benefits you can enjoy, and you can order some top-level goods and services. Our top-tier memberships are jointly recognized by the Black Gold Trade Union, even legend-grade goods are available…”

Listening to this, Leonard felt a strange sensation in his heart.

They even have a VIP points system?

Such a commercial genius!

He continued to look through the catalogue.

The catalogue listed dozens of skills, like Skill: Primary Flash Lightning, Skill: Primary Rock Power Armor, Skill: Primary Curse Power Shield…

All were primary skills, involving numerous Card Master professions.

The starting price for each was a million.

By comparison, Leonard realized that his own Skills: Advanced Firearms Mastery and Shadow Submarine cards were indeed rare and valuable.

But there are reasons for their high prices.

Although Breathing Method is also valuable, it can be resold multiple times. However, the three consumables of the extraordinary era; Demon Mark, Profession Card, and Skill Cultivation Card – all enhance the ability of a Curse Card Master are in high demand.

It is not to say that you can buy them. So far, he’s only seen them for sale in Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop.

He hasn’t seen them anywhere else.

This is the wealthiest treasure shop Leonard has ever seen in the city.

However, after scanning through the catalogue, he realized that there were no intermediate or advanced skill cards.

Considering the girl’s hint earlier, these should be privileges reserved for VIPs, and “tourists” can only buy these primary cards.

The Skill: Wave Punch, which requires advanced combat expertise for learning, is not in the catalogue.

But for Leonard, a card disciple, it was more than enough.

Soon enough,

He found his second preferred card.

Skill: Primary Air Skill Expertise

Description: White quality card for Air Skill Master Practice. After integration, you will master the primary body protection Hard Air Skill (Lvo). The stronger your curse power, the higher the tenacity bonus;

Fixed Price: 2.7 million.

(PS. Tenacity = Magic Resistance, Control Reduction, Muscle and Bone Strength and so on. General meaning is: Resilient)

“The higher the curse power value, the higher the tenacity boost?

The moment he read the introduction of this skill card, Leonard immediately felt that it was a perfect fit for him.

The Golden Fragment Breathing Method gives him a curse power value many times that of others. Isn’t this air skill perfect?

A skill that perfectly suits his current survival needs!

Upon seeing this, Leonard Churchill didn’t hesitate, and immediately said, “I need these two.”

The blonde girl looked at him, her eyes sparkling, “Alright, sir. I’ve already asked someone to fetch your cards. How would you like to pay?

Leonard didn’t waste any time. He brought out a cloth bag and put several containment cards into it, “Evaluate how much these items are worth.” Inside were nothing but a few Frost Knight Armor cards and greatswords. Having one set on hand was sufficient, having more was a waste. According to market prices, it should be worth several million. The girl responded with a slight smile, “Sir, please wait a moment-” With that, she took the items and went downstairs.

The partition on the second floor was cleverly designed, offering a perfect view of the mechanical lucky cat at the door.

The girl placed the items on the tray. After being swallowed by the machine, it quickly displayed the digits: 6.4 million.

Not only is it enough, but there’s an extra 1.9 million..
