Chapter 422: The Way Is Not That Easy to Find
He closed the door and turned around. Luo Jun saw a huge table in the compartment and an old man with glasses and a mustache sitting opposite him.

"Teacher Qi?"

Luo Jun knew this old man. He was a senior lecturer at the academy and also the chief weapon refiner. His main research direction was the making of treasures. It was natural that he would be able to do the identification of treasures with ease.

"Hmm..." Old Man Qi nodded: "What do you want to hand over? Take it out."

"This...may be a bit much." Luo Jun laughed, "But most of them are worthless junk."

"It's okay, don't be embarrassed." Old Man Qi laughed. Just when Luo Jun thought that this weapon-refining instructor was quite gentle, he heard the old man say, "What you students brought is all junk in my eyes."

Ok……

Luo Jun shook his head and began to take out treasures from the treasure box.

These were basically what he collected from the wilderness. At the beginning, his strength was not strong enough, and he did not have many treasures. He bought them in large quantities, mainly because he saw the functionality of these blue sky, white clouds and green grass. Most of them were consumables, and some even had different usage times.

But now, with the improvement of strength, Luo Jun no longer needs many functions. For example, the shield that improves defense is equivalent to a layer of paper on the outside of the armor compared to his Condensed Qi. There is basically no difference between having it and not having it. There are also invisibility and stealth, which are useless with the assassin's cloak. There are also consumables such as detoxification, treatment, and treatment, which Luo Jun basically does not need. He collected too much at the beginning, so it is better to sell them now and keep only a small amount for emergency use.

In short, Luo Jun took out a lot of "junk" and piled it on the table in front of Mr. Qi.

"Wow, there are some good things here." To Luo Jun's surprise, when Mr. Qi saw these junks, he showed a surprised expression.

It makes sense. Among the students, Pei Yuan Realm is the mainstream, and among the freshmen, there are even quite a few Gu Ben Realm. The treasures they can get are mostly ordinary and excellent grades, and the rare grades are considered good things. Among the things Luo Jun took out, the excellent grades accounted for the majority, and there were also a few rare grades. In addition to this number, compared with most students, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local tyrant.

Old Qi checked and evaluated them one by one, and kept calculating Luo Jun's merits. When he got a belt, he was a little surprised and said, "You don't want this? For your realm, it should be a very useful treasure, right?"

In Old Qi's hand was a protective belt, which was the reward that Luo Jun got from the Wilderness Hunter Guild after the ants attacked the city in the wilderness.

Although this thing is bound to the identity of "Ye", as a rare-level treasure and a standard equipment, there should be quite a few of them. It is entirely possible that other people besides Ye also own it.

"Oh, I have a better protective device, so this one is out." Luo Jun responded casually.

"Good boy, your family background is quite rich." Old Qi made an assessment and gave Luo Jun two B-level merits just for this treasure.

"So valuable?" Luo Jun blurted out. Old Qi smiled when he heard it and said, "Why, you think it's too much? How about I give you a discount?"

“No, no, no…” Luo Jun waved his hands hurriedly: “I’m just curious, what is the standard for judging the price, teacher?”

"Well... grade is only one aspect. Function and market demand are also what I need to consider." While checking other treasures, Mr. Qi replied, "Non-consumable shield items are equivalent to having an extra layer of Qi. Whether in Chaos missions or adventures in other worlds, they can greatly improve survivability. They are very popular treasures, so they are naturally more expensive than those of the same grade. Correspondingly, attack items that have the ability to penetrate shields and Qi are also not cheap."

"Oh..." Luo Jun nodded and resisted the urge to sell the hunting beast as well.

With the Duelist's Glory and Violence, the rare-level firearm Hunter Sin is no longer as good as it used to be. And according to Teacher Qi, this firearm with penetrating properties should be able to be sold at a good price.

However, the Hunting Crime is not a standard equipment, and the number of possessions should be less than that of the protective belt. Moreover, these two were obtained from the Savage Hunter Guild. It doesn't matter if one is sold, but if two are sold together, if someone with ulterior motives finds out, it is very likely that they will associate it with Ye's identity.

After appraising these treasures, Old Qi awarded Luo Jun four B-level, nine C-level, and sixteen D-level merits.

"Good fellow, I haven't taken such a big job in a long time..." Old Qi rubbed his eyes and said, "You have quite a lot of slots in your treasure box."

"Lucky, I got an expansion bar." Luo Jun smiled and said, "Now that we have taken care of these, let's take a look at the main course."

"What?" Mr. Qi was stunned: "There's something else?"

"Of course." Luo Jun laughed: "It's not easy for me to come here, how can I just bring a bunch of junk to fool Teacher Qi..."

As he spoke, Luo Jun touched his watch and took out two more treasures.

Old Qi looked at him curiously, swept his energy around him, and immediately showed an expression of surprise.

"Epic?!"

That's right, the two items Luo Jun took out this time were two epic treasures. One of them was the Air-Breaking Cone given by Hou Song in [Wulin]. It was with the help of this thing that Luo Jun absorbed a large amount of vitality from Long Hui and broke through the shackles of the eighth level of the Guben Realm.

But what others don't know is that because the Qi-breaking Cone absorbed too much energy that time, it was damaged. Although it still has the function of breaking Qi, its ability to absorb Qi is no longer usable.

Even so, this is also a serious epic treasure. After seeing it, Elder Qi shook his head with some regret: "Its function is very targeted, but it is not very versatile, and it is damaged. I can only give it two B-level..."

A damaged epic and an excellent rare have the same price... that's reasonable.

"Sell it." Luo Jun nodded in agreement, and Old Qi looked at another treasure.

This was just a plain red rope, but its effect surprised the old weapon refiner.

The red string to prevent disasters was a treasure given to Luo Jun by Elder Yuan in Utopia. Although Luo Jun was still Ye when he received this thing, no one else was present, so no one had ever seen this red string. As for its origin, Luo Jun could just make up a lie, and Elder Yuan and the dean could cover it up for him.

"This is a good thing..." Old Qi nodded while holding the red rope and said, "Although the effect of improving luck is mysterious, it often has unexpected effects. The most important thing is the effect of resisting fatal damage. Although it only works once, this life-saving ability is quite popular..."

At this point, Mr. Qi hesitated and said, "I can give you two Class A ones!"

When Luo Jun heard this, his pupils dilated. This price was not low. After all, the disaster-preventing red line was considered a semi-consumable item. It was not easy to get such a high price for it.

However, Luo Jun thought about it and put away the red rope for warding off disasters.

"I'm not going to sell this. Sorry, Mr. Qi. It's troublesome."

Old man Qi nodded: "It's nothing. I don't recommend you to spend such a good thing. You students are not at a high level and have low experience now. The ability to protect your life is very important." Luo Jun nodded, thanked Teacher Qi again, packed his things, turned around and left the compartment.

Luo Jun still didn't make a move with the disaster-proof red line. Although his extreme underwear already had the ability to resist fatal damage, it still had a seven-day cooldown period. If he really encountered an unbeatable enemy, the extreme underwear combined with the disaster-proof red line could save his life twice in a row.

This time, Luo Jun also estimated the price of the disaster prevention red line and kept it for the time being. If he encountered something he needed but couldn't afford it in the future, he would consider selling it to make up for the loss.

"How is it? How many merits did you get?" Tie Jingang and Chen Ran were still waiting for him outside, especially Chen Ran, who was very curious.

Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Keep it a secret. Anyway, I have much more merit now! When the exchange meeting selection comes, I will change a few powerful treasures and I will definitely beat you to a pulp!"

"Hey!" Chen Ran immediately said unconvincedly: "Just wait, I'll ask my dad to borrow the treasure!"

"We can't use treasures that come from illegal sources, right?" Luo Jun reminded.

"Who said I was going to use it!" Chen Ran said angrily, "I'll use it to exchange for merits, and then redeem it with merits, right?"

"Is this okay?" Luo Jun was confused and turned to look at Tie Jingang: "Is this considered money laundering... No, is this considered laundering treasures?"

"You listen to his nonsense..." Tie Jingang shook his head and said, "The price handed over is usually lower than the exchange price. It's not appropriate to do this."

"Moreover, the treasures you handed in are not uploaded to the exchange platform immediately. They often need to be registered and scanned for a period of time, and there is usually a delay of one or two days. And there are people guarding the exchange platform 24 hours a day, and they will immediately buy good treasures when they find them, so whether you can buy back the treasures you handed in is really another matter."

"Then if he takes a bunch of useless treasures from the family and exchanges them for a bunch of merits, can't he just exchange them for high-level treasures?" Luo Jun pointed at Chen Ran: "This can also be considered a privilege of a big family."

Tie Jingang laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that merits cannot be exchanged for higher levels? If he wants to exchange for an epic treasure, he can only use Class A merits. No matter how many low-level treasures he sells or how many low-level merits he earns, he can't exchange for an epic. And even if he risked his life to exchange epics for merits and then exchange them for treasures on the platform, he might not be able to hide it from inspection."

"The exchange will examine the reported treasures, but it's not as simple as checking the source. After all, no one knows what you got in the Chaos Mission, and no one can prove it. So when you explain the source, you will also undergo a lie detector test. You can only pass if you have a clear conscience..."

As he said that, Tie Jingang looked at Chen Ran: "Your little tricks are useless..."

"Tsk!" Chen Ran curled his lips, "Young Master, I don't even bother to use you. I can get a spot with my own abilities when the time comes!"

"Stop pretending." Luo Jun pointed at his watch: "Do you still have classes this afternoon?"

"Ouch!" Chen Ran slapped his head: "It's Teacher Zheng's physical education class! That Zheng Lao Hu is not someone to be trifled with. If you are late, you will have to run laps!" After saying goodbye to the two of them, he ran out of the laboratory building.

"It's good to have a vacation!" Looking at Chen Ran's back, Luo Jun said with some gloating.

"Then don't waste your practice." Tie Jingang reminded: "These few days are for you to rest, adjust your state and recuperate. Everything will be back on track next week. You must hurry up to improve your realm!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tie. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." Luo Jun patted his chest, and then suddenly lowered his voice: "But relying on realm alone is definitely not enough. I have to work hard on the treasures..."

"Didn't you exchange for an epic item?" Tie Jingang looked at him and said, "It will arrive in two days."

"How can this be enough..." Luo Jun said with a smile: "So I want to find some other ways, such as what Teacher Tie mentioned before..."

Hearing what he said, Tie Jingang narrowed his eyes: "Oh...you want to go to the black market?"

“Hehehe…” Luo Jun laughed, “It’s just that I don’t know where to go. I don’t know which way the door opens. I hope Teacher Tie can help me…”

"You don't know where to get connections!" Tie Jingang patted Luo Jun's head and said, "I'm reminding you not to take detours! You're still so young, and you're only at Pei Yuan realm. Do you dare to go to the black market alone? You don't even know you're worried about being sold out!"

"As long as I am your teacher, I will not allow you to go to that kind of place!"

After saying that, Tie Jingang put his hands behind his back and left angrily.

Luo Jun touched his head and murmured, "Single-handed...then it's okay if I'm not alone?"

Luo Jun was sure that Tie Jingang had mentioned the black market to him before, and that he was giving him some information. He was not providing any information now, probably because he was afraid that he would run into danger. As a teacher, he had to stick to his principles and could not take him there...

In other words, if Luo Jun could find a strong enough companion, Tie Jingang might confess.

However, the things that Luo Jun wanted to sell on the black market were things that were inconvenient to sell on official platforms, and he didn't want to go with anyone.

Let Ailontan pretend to be Lu Fei or something like that and go to Tie Jingang to get information? No, it will be very troublesome if it is exposed later... It seems that we can only give up on this line of Teacher Tie. Ningdong is so big that many people must have been to the black market. He doesn't believe that he can't get any information!
Just as he was thinking about it, a cubicle door opened and a girl with a high ponytail walked out. She and Luo Jun met face to face and their eyes met.

"Ling Xin?" Luo Jun didn't expect it was her, and subconsciously greeted her: "You are here to redeem merits as well."

Ling Xin was also a little surprised. She nodded, looked away, turned around and was about to leave.

Wait... Ling Xin has been in Ningdong for three years. Will she...

Thinking of this, Luo Jun suddenly opened his mouth and called her: "Wait..."

Ling Xin was slightly stunned, turned around, and looked at Luo Jun with some confusion: "What's the matter?"

Luo Jun looked around, then stepped forward and pulled Ling Xin up: "Let's go out and find a place where no one is around to talk..."

"Eh? A place where no one is...?!"

Ling Xin was startled when Luo Jun suddenly grabbed her. Her face turned slightly red, but she instinctively did not resist and just followed him out...
