Ch. 132 - The Satisfactory Contract Item and the Armour
“Name?”
After accepting the statue, the Collector scratched a few words on the deck with its withered hand, asking Yang Yi.
He had never thought about giving the statue a name, so he had to come up with one on the spot.
After over ten seconds of thought, he replied, “Let’s call it The Blasphemer”.
The Collector nodded, stowed the statue into its robe, and then stood up.
It extended its right hand, seemingly offering a handshake.
Not wanting to seem rude, Yang Yi returned the gesture and shook its hand.
By then, Yang Yi had a decent understanding of the Collector’s traits, which he could organise into intelligence and sell to Song Yingwen later.
The Collector seemed to be a special entity that abided by rules of fair trade.
As long as the transaction went smoothly, it showed virtually no hostility.
What’s more, they were quite polite, likely possessing a considerable level of intelligence.
However, the logs had mentioned that there were many types of Collectors, each with different preferences, so the one before him could simply have been one of the more docile kinds.
Good thing it didn’t attack right away. If it had, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.
The Collector was offering Yang Yi a courteous handshake.
But Suna, off to the side, kept staring at the Collector’s hand, feeling it looked strangely familiar.
Once the handshake was over, the Collector gave Yang Yi a slight bow, performing a formal classical gesture.
【Transaction complete. The Collector is highly satisfied with the trade and has left behind a Contract Item. 】
The moment the log message popped up, the Collector vanished into a shadowy blur.
Its speed was so fast, it seemed like teleportation, any ordinary eye would perceive it as instantaneous disappearance.
Only Yang Yi, using his Third Eye, managed to catch a clearer glimpse, he saw that the Collector had been yanked away by a string trailing behind it.
Like a fishing line reeling in a hook.
That string from the sea had tugged its robe and dragged it straight into the water, making a barely audible plop.
From then on, the Collector was nowhere to be seen but it hadn’t taken the traded goods.
In fact, it even left behind a golden medal, or rather, a coin the size of a medal.
Yang Yi scanned the area one last time with his Third Eye. Once he confirmed there was nothing unusual, he put his blindfold back on and bent down to pick up the coin.
