National Awakening: My Left Eye Copies My Right Eye and Sublimates

45: Puppet Cave!However, considering the Young Miss’s instructions, the trader still led Xia Qi to the largest trading room, a full one hundred square meters, typically used for transactions with trade groups.

”Then I’ll just dump it here?”

Xia Qi pointed to the largest area and said.

”Please, sir.”

The trader laughed awkwardly, already beginning to look down on him internally. This area could hold several tons of goods; could he really fill it?

But in the next few minutes, her mouth was wide enough to fit a duck egg.

”So much...”

Xia Qi looked up, ”Wait, there’s more, there’s more.”

About ten minutes later, all the Materials accumulated in the storage space were piled on the ground, forming a small mountain three or four meters high.

”Ore, equipment, monster Materials, and so many energy essences.”

The trader’s eyes were practically popping out; she was dumbfounded looking at the mountain of Materials and items.

”Sir, please wait a moment, I’ll call a few colleagues to help sort these.”

The quantity was simply too large; she didn’t know how long it would take her alone to inventory it all.

Xia Qi sat on a nearby sofa with his legs crossed, nodding leisurely.

Before long, the trader walked in with four colleagues, and upon seeing the mountain of Materials, they all gasped in unison.

In all their years of work, it was extremely rare for an individual to bring such a large batch of Materials for trade.

However, with more people helping to count, a lot of time could be saved.

Xia Qi had only been playing on his phone for about ten minutes when the trader respectfully walked over with a quotation sheet.

”Sir, all items have been inventoried, and I will now report the total value to you.”

”Mm, report it, I’m listening.”

”3 tons of common Ore, 500 catties of rare Ore, 315 pieces of various Bronze-Rank equipment, 5051 monster Materials, 20 Elementary energy essences, totaling 74.5 million yuan. Sir, are you sure you want to sell all of them?”

The price given by the black market trader was very reasonable, even slightly higher than the usual acquisition price. Xia Qi only thought for a moment before agreeing to sell everything.

Soon, a huge sum of nearly seventy-five million was transferred to his account. Coupled with the thirteen million he sold to Lina last time, Xia Qi now held a massive sum of eighty-eight million.

He had run the dungeon three times himself, plus Yun Qingyue’s nine reset stones, for a total of twelve runs, earning seventy-five million. This meant an average profit of over six million per dungeon run, which was incredibly impressive.

The entire process only took three days, and he was already nearly halfway to his goal of two hundred million.

Additionally, he still had one more dungeon run opportunity today, plus ten reset opportunities in hand, making a total of eleven opportunities.

If all went well, he could achieve his two hundred million goal in at most a week.

After receiving the money, Xia Qi first purchased a batch of Talent Potions, spending eighty million.

Then, he used eight million as a deposit to pre-order thirty more bottles of Talent Potion.

Stepping out of the black market, Xia Qi pulled out his phone, originally intending to check the details of the Rank 15-20 dungeons.

Suddenly, a message popped up in the class group chat.

”@everyone, classmates, my Talent has been upgraded to S-Rank today! From now on, if you need anything, just tell Brother Su. We’re all classmates, and I’ve got your backs.”

”Also, there’s another announcement: I, Su Yuanchen, have already proposed to Yun Qingyue. If it works out, remember to come to the wedding banquet!”

Su Yuanchen’s message in the group caused an uproar.

”Wow, Young Master Su is truly Young Master Su! Even an A-Rank Talent can be upgraded to S-Rank. I’m so envious, big shot! I’ll definitely be at the wedding banquet.”

”S-Rank Talent, plus the Su Family’s financial power, Brother Su is definitely getting into a top university this year for the college entrance exam, maybe even Shengjing.”

”It’s great to be rich! Young Master Su, please take me with you!”

”Yun Qingyue and Su Yuanchen are a match made in heaven. I’ve seen it coming for a long time.”

”Brother Yuanchen, I also want to raise my Talent Rank. I wonder if we could have a deeper exchange.”

A female classmate posted, even including a hotel selfie, which drew a wave of scorn in the group. She really had no shame.

Xia Qi glanced at it, and his brows furrowed.

Talent upgrading was understandable, but Talent advancement was a bit difficult to comprehend.

Logically speaking, Talent Potions could only be used for Talent upgrading. How did Su Yuanchen manage to advance from A-Rank to S-Rank?

Could it be that this world also had abilities that could enhance Talent?

That shouldn’t be possible.

He remembered that the Congenital Double Pupils ability was unique.

As he pondered, Yun Qingyue also sent a message.

”Did you see the message in the group? Don’t misunderstand, my dad would never agree to this marriage.”

”Uh... I didn’t misunderstand.”

Xia Qi didn’t feel much about it and replied directly.

”I was bad today. How about we run a dungeon together another day?”

”We’ll see.”

Xia Qi didn’t refuse Yun Qingyue’s invitation. After all, she helped him earn tens of millions, so taking her to clear a few dungeons would be repaying the favor.

Ending the chat, he looked up some information.

Xia Qi finally decided to head directly to the Rank 18 dungeon, the Puppet Lair.

Compared to the Zombie Mine, the Puppet Lair was a significant step up in Rank and difficulty, but the value of the items and Materials was almost the same.

This was why most professional teams preferred to stay and farm in the Zombie Mine rather than the Puppet Lair.

With similar profits but several times the difficulty, choosing the easier dungeon to farm was the priority.

However, Xia Qi still needed to raise his Rank. Now that he had reached Rank 16, farming the Rank 14 Zombie Mine again would result in significantly reduced experience, making it somewhat not worth it.

Without further ado, using Thunder Breathing, when Xia Qi arrived at the Puppet Lair dungeon, he only saw a scattered group of less than twenty people at the dungeon entrance.

There were no party seekers or leaders; basically, the teams that came here were primarily focused on leveling up, and their teams were usually pre-formed.

Seeing that no one was bothering him, Xia Qi was happy to be left alone and walked directly to the dungeon entrance, selecting the nightmare difficulty.

A faint blue light swirled, and Xia Qi was pulled into the dungeon....

Entering the cave.

The cave here was spacious, with torches and candelabras illuminating the walls, providing good visibility.

Compared to the gloom and obscurity of the Zombie Mine, everything here seemed calm and unremarkable, even feeling quite safe.

However, Xia Qi didn’t think so. Places that seemed safe often hid various dangers.

Moreover, this dungeon’s Rank was not low; those who could participate were all battle-hardened veterans.

Stepping out of the protective light circle.

Xia Qi exhaled a puff of white air, tentatively walking forward.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something.

”Something’s there!”

In an instant, Thunder Breathing was already activated, and Xia Qi walked forward cautiously.

When he reached a shadowy area.

A flash of blade light suddenly appeared.

The target was heading straight for Xia Qi’s head.
