Faced with Fang Senyan's query, the miner harbored no intention of holding back, pondering for a moment before stating: "Purely based on equipment strength, strictly speaking, the quality gap between Legendary and Gold-tier Story is not vast. However, Legendary items usually tend to be stronger.

The difference between the two tiers is akin to that between Black quality and Silver-tier Story quality. Some Black quality weapons and gear might surpass Silver-tier Story equipment, but in most cases, Silver-tier Story gear holds the overall advantage." "As for the Pale Green tier, those are growth-type weapons, gear, or items.

Once they reach their limit, they will certainly be stronger than Dark Gold equipment. They are slightly weaker than the two categories mentioned above, though the most powerful of all remains Artifacts." Fang Senyan then inquired about the distinction between Legendary and Gold-tier Story, to which the miner replied: "Legendary equipment and weapons usually originate from famous arms and armor passed down through human myths and legends.

They often have a chance of being obtained in most worlds, although this chance is very small, and the method of acquisition is unknown—it requires sheer luck." "For instance, Legendary weapons/gear I know of include Excalibur, the Spear of Longinus, the Holy Grail, Beowulf's Giants' Sword, Cupid's Bow, the Xuanyuan Sword, Thousand-Slayer, Dragon-Slayer, Muramasa, and so on... Of course, these are the top-tier Legendary weapons, unique entities; once someone obtains one, a second will never appear." "The next tier down would be something like the Philosopher's Stone, which has just appeared.

It is widely circulated and highly characteristic in a certain world, but multiple instances can exist. Similar examples include the Black Pearl from the Caribbean, the liquid metal from the Terminator world (at this point, the miner intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Fang Senyan), or the Elven Rings from the Lord of the Rings world." "As for Gold-tier Story equipment and weapons, the method of acquisition is quite direct and simple: they must be taken from specific, powerful Story characters.

Top-tier gear also possesses uniqueness, and because it often bears the soul imprint of its owner, it cannot be used even if stolen. Therefore, the original owner must be killed, or their consent must be obtained—though the latter chance is minuscule." "For example, killing the Bug Queen from Starship Troopers has a chance of yielding her exclusive Gold-tier Story equipment.

Similarly, killing the Phantom Dragon in the Avatar world will certainly have a chance of dropping Gold-tier Story gear. Many other characters can be cited, like Voldemort or Dumbledore...

I believe you understand now." "Regarding Artifacts, currently, only one is definitively confirmed: the One Ring! There is also a theory that Artifacts can evolve." Listening to the miner, Fang Senyan nodded slightly, recognizing the clarity and transparency of the explanation.

However, Fang Senyan also understood that this preferential treatment was likely a result of the strength he had previously displayed. At this moment, the brilliant light emanating from Gungnir slowly subsided, and its specific attributes gradually became visible.

This spear was forged at the behest of the evil god Loki, crafted by Dwarves during the incident involving Sif's hair. The tip was inscribed with Runic characters (Ru[nes]), while the shaft was made from a branch of the World Tree (Yggdrasil).

When Odin cast this spear, it would emit a bright light slicing across the heavens, which those on the ground called 'lightning,' or alternatively, a 'shooting star.' Mythology records that anyone who swore an oath upon the cast Gungnir would have their vow fulfilled. This might be the origin of making wishes upon a falling star.

Its attributes were remarkably simple yet brutally potent. Firstly, its attack possessed the attribute of lightning, carrying an extremely high chance of paralyzing the enemy upon impact; its maximum attack power had even broken a thousand!

Secondly, it guaranteed a hit on the opponent. Thirdly, it guaranteed penetration through the enemy.

Finally, all its attributes possessed Domain Priority. Of course, these three attributes were displayed; there was still a long string of hidden attributes marked with '???', which would only be known to the buyer.

More importantly, this weapon, much like the Spartan Spear belonging to Black Bro, did not occupy the main weapon slot. The convergence of these terrifying factors immediately triggered a fierce bidding frenzy among everyone present.

To be honest, did Fang Senyan want this item? Of course he did.

But he weighed the odds, estimating the chance of acquiring it was about the same as the chance of Zi and Misty Song becoming the best of sisters—so, after casting a few glances, he immediately gave up. For something unattainable, no matter how good, Fang Senyan would not waste his effort.

Just then, Fang Senyan's mind suddenly stirred as several lines of text appeared on the screen before him: "Respected Lieutenant Colonel, we have a few matters we wish to discuss with you. May we have five minutes of your time?" Fang Senyan smiled, tapped YES, and his chair immediately sank rapidly into the floor.

He felt the illusion of high-speed travel through a conduit. In mere seconds, he landed in a brightly lit conference room where a professional-looking woman with a warm and sophisticated demeanor sat across a coffee table, smiling: "Lieutenant Colonel, hello.

May I get you something to drink?" Fang Senyan smiled: "Plain water, thank you." The professional woman stated crisply: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Li Rongji, currently the Vice Director of Sales at the Galaxy United Trade Group.

We sought you out because you were actively bidding up to the high price of 850,000 Universal Credits during the auction for a Dark Gold weapon, Repentance." Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes, shrewdly detecting a trap in her words like a cunning fox. "Hmm, I was indeed momentarily reckless before; thankfully, I reined in before making a grave mistake." The professional woman, Li Rongji, laughed gracefully, brushing her hair back: "Spending a little extra for one's hobby isn't really a mistake, is it?" Fang Senyan shrugged: "In my view, bidding 850,000 Universal Credits was a mistake, a very serious one.

Fortunately, the benevolent Mr. Chabal gave me a chance to redeem myself." Seeing Fang Senyan's airtight response, Li Rongji's smile stiffened slightly.

She knew she was dealing with a very difficult opponent. However, before coming, she was well aware that anyone capable of manipulating two reserve high-ranking officers with such cunning and foresight could not be ordinary.

Realizing her probing was useless, Li Rongji coughed and stated seriously: "Very well, Lieutenant Colonel. We have just received another consignment auction application...

and the consignor requires prompt payment. The item they provided is also a Repentance.

Given the great sincerity you showed during the previous auction, we have prioritized inviting you to explore a possible transaction. Otherwise, we will have to notify the other bidders." Fang Senyan looked at Li Rongji with a half-smile, his eyes seeming to pierce right through her: "Heh heh.

Another consignment auction application? Why does it feel like Chabal refused to pay and incurred a series of breach liabilities, causing the previous transaction to fail?

If that idiot breached the contract, he'd only suffer a major blow, but if he truly paid to acquire it, he would truly have nowhere left to hide." Li Rongji maintained her smile: "I apologize, Lieutenant Colonel. The company strictly adheres to confidentiality regarding the data of every client who consigns with us.

Based on our company's prior assessment, the price you bid previously was indeed too inflated. Therefore, after discussion, we unanimously decided that you only need to pay 600,000 Universal Credits to obtain this dream weapon." Fang Senyan sighed: "Do you think I would accept that price?

Chabal was clearly brought in to disrupt things, showing zero intention to complete the deal, driving the price of an ordinary Dark Gold item close to a million! I even suspect he might be a shill planted by your company.

Under these circumstances, you offer me 600,000??" "I sincerely apologize. I reserve the right to pursue action against your slander against our company.

Since its establishment, our company has never experienced the situation you described," Li Rongji’s expression hardened. "As for the disposition of the previous Repentance and its relationship with the bidders, that is not within my purview; I know nothing about it.

My current responsibility is solely to discuss the transaction terms for this newly arrived Repentance with the Lieutenant Colonel." Fang Senyan chuckled upon hearing Li Rongji's words: "Alright, if that's the case, then I bid 300,000 Universal Credits. At the time of the auction, had that damned shill Chabal not interfered, that would have been the final sale price." Li Rongji glared at Fang Senyan: "Lieutenant Colonel, please mind your choice of words!

Also, please show slightly more sincerity in your offer!" Fang Senyan sighed again: "A Dark Gold weapon used by a Gunner, and I offer 300,000 Universal Credits, and your company deems that lacking sincerity!?? Very well, then you can put this weapon back up for auction and see if anyone bids higher!" The auction house naturally could not do that.

At this time, the auction for Gungnir would absorb a significant portion of available funds. Furthermore, the previous auction for Repentance had shown tepid response at high prices, and more importantly, it demonstrated that the auction house had just been thoroughly manipulated by Chabal.

Thus, both publicly and privately, it could not reappear in the auction hall in the short term. Once the auction concluded, the weapon would have to be returned to the seller.

If the auction failed, the auction house would only earn minimal storage fees, with no commission in between. For a profit-driven auction house, a failed sale was the least tolerable outcome.

Fang Senyan had grasped these underlying mechanisms perfectly, which is why he was fearless.
