33: Cherry Bomb
Although it was only a C-rank talent upgrade stone, it could only upgrade a D-rank Talent to C-rank at most, and could not upgrade an S-rank Talent.
But for Tang Ping, it was enough; it could raise his E-rank Talent by one level, reaching D-rank.
However, Tang Ping had no intention of trading all three subsequent chapters to the other party.
Even though this chapter would bring him less profit now, it could still yield at least dozens of attribute stones, enough to raise his four-dimensional attributes to a level far beyond that of ordinary people.
The other party must not need this item to offer it for trade, and after all, a C-rank talent upgrade stone is only C-rank.
Moreover, a talent upgrade stone can only raise a Talent by one level, it's not like it can directly upgrade an F-rank Talent to C-rank.
So its value was naturally greatly discounted.
Tang Ping: "I can give you the third chapter, don't even think about the rest."
An Ziyi: "This talent upgrade stone is enough to upgrade a D-rank Talent to C-rank, it's a very precious resource, one chapter is too little."
Tang Ping: "It's not too little. You also said it can only upgrade a D-rank Talent to C-rank, not directly upgrade an F-rank Talent to C-rank. You want to trade early, you must also want to earn attribute stones and experience stones in the trading area. Selling you one chapter, I already feel like I'm losing out."
An Ziyi: "Two chapters then, a talent upgrade stone is not easy to get."
Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, Tang Ping immediately made a counter-offer: "A C-rank talent upgrade stone is not enough, you also need to get me an f-rank transcendent weapon, a sword."
An Ziyi: "???"
Tang Ping: "Do you want it or not? If not, forget it."
An Ziyi gritted his teeth: "Yes! But you have to guarantee that you won't complete the trade within one day!"
Tang Ping: "At midnight tonight, we will both click to complete our respective trade requests simultaneously."
An Ziyi: "You must keep your word! I bought this at a great price, you can't just complete the trade with me and then immediately sell the third chapter!"
Tang Ping: "A promise is a promise!"
[Ding! An Ziyi has sent you a trade request!]
Tang Ping was surprised, he didn't expect the other party to get an f-rank transcendent weapon so quickly, he probably had it from the start.
"It's actually a high-grade one, quite sincere." Tang Ping immediately clicked to agree.
The trade was completed, and he obtained a talent upgrade stone and an f-rank transcendent weapon.
For him, being able to exchange for a talent upgrade stone was already a huge gain, as an S-rank talent upgrade stone and a D-rank talent upgrade stone were the same to him.
They could only raise an E-rank Talent by one grade.
For his S-rank Talent to upgrade, he would need an SS-grade talent upgrade stone.
"Let's first upgrade the E-rank Talent to D-rank Talent."
Tang Ping used the talent upgrade stone to upgrade his E-rank Talent, Weak Fire.
[Congratulations, Player, for successfully upgrading your Talent by one grade using a C-rank talent upgrade stone.
E-rank Talent Weak Fire has been upgraded to D-rank Talent Blazing Fire!]
A basketball-sized flame appeared in Tang Ping's palm; its original orange-red color had turned crimson, and being level 3, its power was already considerable.
"A level 3 D-rank Talent, a level 1 S-rank Talent, and all four-dimensional attributes at 40. With my current strength, even if I encounter a Calamity Beast, I can probably contend with it!"
Tang Ping's eyes showed satisfaction. It was only the sixth day of the apocalypse, and there probably weren't many people who could reach his level.
Of course, excluding those who were already Transcendent humans.
Tang Ping then took out the transcendent weapon he had traded for, which was a sword, the Cold Light Sword!
He certainly wouldn't need it himself now, but he could send it a hundred years into the future.
Carrying the Cold Light Sword, Tang Ping left the Shelter, then dug out his buried Shelter, unbound it, and rebound it.
After a series of operations, Tang Ping put some transcendent weapons, as well as some mineral water, food, a mobile phone, a power bank, clothes, shoes, and other items inside.
He had just finished and returned to the Shelter.
There was another message from a friend in the system.
"Zhang Xile? What does he want with me again?" Tang Ping opened his friends list to check the message.
Zhang Xile: "Boss! Do you still have any Peashooters! My parents and I encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains. These wolves are very fierce, even bigger than tigers! Our Shelter is about to collapse! Boss, please save my parents and my grandparents! I am willing to offer a servant contract! Please, Boss!"
[Ding! Player Zhang Xile has used a servant contract. Do you wish to sign the contract and become his master!]
Tang Ping was startled, a servant contract?
Before he could ponder, Zhang Xile sent another message.
Zhang Xile: "Boss, our Shelter's health bar is almost depleted, it won't last for a few more minutes. If Boss also has no solution, then after we die, my belongings will be given to you through trade."
Tang Ping looked at the contract before him: "A servant contract, huh."
After a moment of hesitation, it seemed like there weren't too many downsides.
However, Tang Ping still asked: "What are the grades of your Shelter's characteristic and your personal Talent?"
Soon, he saw two pictures sent over.
Zhang Xile: "Boss, my Shelter's characteristic is A-rank [Manor], which comes with a manor territory twenty-four times the size of a Shelter. Within this range, all crops and poultry can grow normally. I'm not sure how exactly they grow normally."
Zhang Xile: "My Talent is also A-rank, Luminous, but it seems I haven't found any other use for it besides glowing."
Tang Ping's eyes flickered slightly. An A-rank Shelter characteristic and an A-Rank Talent, while not the highest, were already very good.
Tang Ping: "Alright, then I'll help you this once."
So he clicked to agree.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have used a servant contract and become the master of Player Zhang Xile!]
Tang Ping: "I'll give you some things. Find an opportunity and throw them into the middle of the wolf pack."
He sent four Potato Mines to Zhang Xile.
And also two Peashooters.
He remembered that he still had two hundred sunlight unspent in plants vs. zombies today.
He clicked it open and found that a new plant, the cherry bomb, had appeared inside!
This was a good item.
He bought one and sent it to Zhang Xile.
Zhang Xile: "There's actually a cherry bomb! That's great, thank you, Boss!"
Tang Ping: "Don't get yourself killed, or I'll lose a lot."
Zhang Xile: "Boss, don't worry! From now on, I, Zhang Xile, am your person!"
At this moment, Zhang Xile, hiding inside the cramped Shelter, watched the Shelter's health bar rapidly drop, gritted his teeth, and was about to open the door.
"Son, what are you doing!" a Middle-aged Woman said, suppressing her fear.
"Xiao Le, don't do anything foolish!" an old woman wiped away tears.
Beside them, a Middle-aged Man and an old man sat there smoking.
The Middle-aged Man stood up: "Zhang Xile, I'll go out and lure them away. Then you take your mother, and your grandparents, and run quickly."
"Nonsense, all of you stay put!" The old man tapped his dry pipe, stood up, and took an old hunting rifle from the wall: "Leave it to me!"
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma!" Zhang Xile said solemnly: "Believe me!"
He turned and opened the door.
A pack of giant wolves, whose bodies were comparable to fierce tigers, surrounded the Shelter.
Zhang Xile's face was contorted as he raised the huge cherry in his hand!
"All of you, die!"
