"But this is still too valuable, that fruit isn't worth a blue-quality weapon." Jin Sha thought for a moment and said, "If you insist on settling things, let's trade."
"Oh?" Bai Ye smiled and asked, "How do you want to trade?"
Jin Sha replied, "I only have beast masters on hand, are you interested?"
As Jin Sha spoke, she took out a pile of red and white spheres and said, "These are beast master balls, containing different summoned beasts. These are from my own world, these were caught elsewhere, and these were caught in the glaciers."
Bai Ye considered, "I have no experience in cultivating summoned beasts. If I were to trade for them, I would prefer immediate combat power. However, a blue-quality weapon for a blue-quality summoned beast wouldn't count as settling a favor."
"It doesn't matter, I can't use so many summoned beasts anyway," Jin Sha said. "You can add something, pick a few more if you like, as long as we can reach a consensus on the value."
After speaking, Jin Sha playfully stuck out her tongue at Bai Ye.
Jin Sha added, "After all, I don't want to owe you a favor."
Bai Ye chuckled, "Convenient for when you need to kill me one day and won't hold back?"
Jin Sha responded, "Uh-huh, exactly!"
"Alright!" Bai Ye spread his hands. "What do you need?"
Jin Sha mused, "I think you know what I need."
What does a beast master need?
It's actually quite easy to guess. Do beast masters need summoned beasts? No, it must be something that benefits themselves, or more directly, something that enhances their own combat power. This is because beast masters have a very obvious weakness: if the summoned beasts are difficult to deal with, then deal with the beast master.
This was also why Bai Ye threw the Zanpakuto to Jin Sha; that weapon was very suitable for her.
Snake's Tail is not a close-combat Zanpakuto, allowing the blade to be used as a whip. Therefore, when someone tries to attack Jin Sha, she can engage in mid-to-long-range attacks, preventing them from getting close.
Besides that, what else is suitable for Jin Sha...
"You decide, I don't have much left anyway," Bai Ye tossed his belongings onto the ground and spread his hands. "Take a look, what do you like?"
"Ah, a plasma cannon? Isn't that the shoulder cannon from the Predator?" Jin Sha's eyes lit up. "Did you kill an alien Predator?"
Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders. "Just got lucky, it was a coincidence."
Indeed, the plasma cannon was also very suitable for Jin Sha.
To be precise, any long-range weapon would suit Jin Sha, helping her to prevent enemies from closing in. Secondly, defensive equipment would help her defend against ranged attacks. By improving in these two aspects, everything else could be left to the summoned beasts.
As for improving personal physical attributes...
That's a given, as it applies to anyone.
However, the plasma cannon is a black-quality, high-level item...
Bai Ye really didn't think Jin Sha had any summoned beasts that could be traded for it.
As expected, although Jin Sha was covetous of the plasma cannon, it was only a longing. She couldn't produce a black-quality summoned beast. Furthermore, the development path of a beast master is primarily focused on summoned beasts. Using a black-quality summoned beast to trade for a plasma cannon would be putting the cart before the horse and weakening her own combat power!
The core of any trade is to exchange something you don't need for something you do.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Jin Sha suddenly shrieked again, startling Bai Ye.
Bai Ye asked, "What are you so jumpy about?"
Jin Sha picked up two stones, her eyes shining with excitement. "A fossilized summoned beast, and a Super Stone! Why do you have these? And they're a matching set!"
"Ah?"
Bai Ye looked at the two stones in Jin Sha's hands, stunned.
He had almost forgotten about these two items.
The Super Stone was Bai Ye's first-kill reward for defeating an entrant from the beast master world, and the fossil of Aerodactyl was obtained after saving Dr. Harding, who yearned for freedom but was eaten by a monster.
First-kill rewards are usually quite good...
Bai Ye silently added: Except for that Sunflower Manual that wanted to cut him.
And Jurassic Park was a hidden quest, the rewards of which were naturally extraordinary and usually very good.
However...
The problem was that Bai Ye had no idea what the Super Stone and the Aerodactyl fossil were used for. Anything that couldn't be used, no matter how powerful or rare, was meaningless. Therefore, these two stones had been gathering dust in Bai Ye's inventory.
If he hadn't tossed everything out, Bai Ye would have almost forgotten about these two things.
"I want the plasma cannon!" Jin Sha said after thinking for a moment, taking out a gem-encrusted pendant. "I have a Key Stone!"
"Ah?"
Bai Ye didn't react immediately, looking at Jin Sha with a bewildered expression.
Jin Sha continued, "Or, are you planning to offer the Aerodactyl fossil and the Super Stone for trade?"
Bai Ye tilted his head again. "Ah?"
Jin Sha stomped her foot. "Give me an answer."
Bai Ye wiped his brow. "I don't know what to say, I don't understand any of this!"
For a moment, Bai Ye felt like crying, blaming his lack of knowledge, "A single 'what the f***' can get you through anything."
Jin Sha explained, "This Aerodactyl fossil is from my world. We call it a Secret Amber. As a very rare ancient-type summoned beast, Aerodactyl is extinct. The only way to revive it is to extract its genes from a Secret Amber."
Jin Sha picked up the Super Stone again. "Super Stones can cause some summoned beasts to Mega Evolve. It so happens that Aerodactyl is one of them, and your Super Stone is precisely compatible with Aerodactyl."
"Such a coincidence?"
Bai Ye thought of the beast master who commanded the yellow-skinned mouse outside Jurassic Park. Would that person be specifically looking for Aerodactyl fossils?
Bai Ye asked, "But Mega Evolution still requires a Key Stone, right?"
"Yes!" Jin Sha held up the pendant. "I happen to have one."
Bai Ye said, "Understood. So, your trade is the Key Stone for the plasma cannon?"
Jin Sha replied, "That's meaningless to you. The Aerodactyl would still be a stone. My trade is to help you revive the Aerodactyl, plus the Key Stone, but that will take some time."
Bai Ye inquired, "How much time?"
Jin Sha explained, "I know of a summoned beast area from my world. I'll have to find someone there to revive the Aerodactyl, and it might involve a quest, which is quite troublesome."
After speaking, Jin Sha's expression showed a hint of struggle.
Bai Ye, noticing Jin Sha's hesitation, tentatively asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"
Jin Sha said, "If you're willing to part with the fossil and the Super Stone, I do have another deal, but..."
Jin Sha glanced at the items on the ground, then took a deep breath.
"I want all of it!"
