Chapter 162 A Fair Exchange
Chapter 162 A Fair Exchange
"What's the price to pay..."
Momo couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but he quickly gave an answer: "Equivalent exchange is the most basic interest link between people, and it is natural for me to pay the corresponding price..."
For him, everything is just an exchange of interests, so no one will owe anyone a favor. After all, this kind of thing is very troublesome.
The other party's words were completely consistent with the witch in Momo's mind, who would only exchange items or take the opportunity to make the other party owe favors or certain things that were difficult to repay.
Then he reached his hand into the blood-red cloak, and when he came out, he was holding a handful of things in his hand, which he placed one by one on the table.
The first one was a strange crystal that was extremely hot. Its shape was too strange, like a hedgehog ball. As it came into contact with the air, it immediately brightened up the entire room.
Lime was so blinded that he couldn't open his eyes. He quickly covered his eyes and shouted, "Put it away!"
Momo quickly put the shining crystal back, and the room that was originally as bright as day became dim again.
And he continued to place the props,
A pure ice knife that exudes an icy aura
Weird old black leather kettle
And a strange monocular, through which one seems to be able to see fleeting things that ordinary people cannot see.
Shihui looked around like a child choosing a gift, his eyes full of curiosity.
"This is the first time I've ever gotten a monocle. What's with it..."
This strange thing immediately piqued her interest and she couldn't help but pick it up.
But as soon as he picked her up and placed it in front of his eyes, he saw the indescribable blood-red figure and the inaudible shouting coming from the other person's mouth.
"I just feel that Hu A7 is just Aji Aji"...
The moment its eyes met the lime, it began to move its branch-like limbs slowly towards here.
Shihui's face turned pale and he immediately put it back. Fortunately, his character was strong enough, otherwise he would have thrown it away directly.
【SAN-30】
!!!
"It's actually this kind of weird thing!!"
Shihui's face was filled with rage, and he stared at Momo viciously, almost putting the muzzle of his gun to the other's head.
She had never expected that this thing could see those things. If it looked any longer, it would probably attack directly.
This was the first time she had seen an item with a negative SAN value, and she felt horrified and frightened.
The others looked at the lime in confusion, and were curious about what was behind the lens that could frighten this witch with magical powers.
Is it a dragon?
Or some monster?
Or maybe it was the thing she least wanted to see...
Momo was unusually calm. He clasped his fingers together and said calmly, "The props that can be seen in the other world must have been made by a very crazy maker. They either have no physical form, or can only create some inferior monsters through certain media.
At first, the group of scholars were just guessing, but the experiment ended in tragedy.
This tool can allow humans to see them, but the user must be resolute in their observation, otherwise they will fall into madness and become no different from those cultists!"
After hearing Momo's detailed introduction, everyone suddenly realized it. They never thought that someone could actually make such a thing.
However, some people present were eager to try it out. She gently rubbed the hem of her skirt and began to think.
Lime's expression returned to calm, and he showed that fake smile again, and asked curiously: "So that's how it is. But what kind of strange person can make such a thing? I'm also curious about what material it is made of."
She had done very little to explore this world, and spent the whole day either on the run or on the way to escape.
Momo didn't say anything, seeming to be hesitating.
Seeing the other party's hesitation, Shihui smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, Mr. Momo, but I'm still very curious. If you can, please feel free to tell me!"
Shihui was half-hearted, just wanting to get more information out of the other party.
Seeing that the other party was already like this, Momo still chose to speak. However, it would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, because once he opened his mouth, his words were shocking.
"I was hunting down a frogman and a sacrificial offering to an evil god in Liya Village..." He paused, slowly raised his helmet, and the eyes inside stared at him intently, saying meaningfully:
"If that important person hadn't escaped, I think it would have been easier to solve the problem, especially since the horses died unexpectedly, making it impossible to pass on the message. Don't you think so?"
Σ⊙▃⊙川
"The clown is actually me!!!"
Shihui and Oulena were stunned for a moment, their expressions were different, but it was obvious that Oulena had a guilty conscience and remorse in her eyes, but only a little bit.
As for Shihui, he didn't feel much guilt at all. He was even secretly happy that they had suffered heavy casualties and were wiped out. After all, except Momo, it seemed that all the teams here wanted to hunt him down.
It is simply impossible to feel sad and guilty for these people.
But the air was filled with awkwardness.
Shi Hui thought to himself, "It seems like the other party is very angry about what I did. Is this legendary hero really that upright? Or do I think I'm a treacherous person..."
"Ahem!"
"Tell me about this dagger. I'm interested in it too!"
Shi Hui coughed lightly and turned his gaze to the ice dagger. Through his magic eyes, he saw that there was actually magic power flowing on it, and the icy effect on it was genuine.
Momo gripped the hilt of the knife, and a chill suddenly appeared on his palm. He used his own body to demonstrate the actual effect, and said:
"This item is called Ice Explosion. While the name sounds impressive and powerful, the backlash is also severe. It can unleash a burst of icy spikes, but...
The user will also have to pay a heavy price in the form of backlash. If you're not strong enough, you might suffer from frostbite or even necrosis and amputation. I wouldn't fight with this weapon, but it should be easy for you!"
After hearing the effect, everyone who was eager to try it immediately gave up their thoughts. After all, no one except a fool would use something that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred.
Unless the other party is not human!
Lime squinted his eyes and thought.
"This thing is too useless for me. I also have frost-type skills. The backlash effect is definitely more useful than this thing. It's simply garbage among garbage. The other party clearly treats this as a garbage dump."
Shi Hui rejected this disappointing prop in his heart on the spot.
Anne was curiously lying on the edge of the table, staring at the dagger, then looked pitifully at Lime, with the words "I want" almost written on her face.
But no matter how much Lime doted on her, Annie's safety was the premise. She wouldn't even touch such a dangerous thing, let alone a little girl.
In the end, she could only focus her eyes on the ordinary water bag. Even she could not see any information on it with her magic eyes.
"How is this used?"
Momo picked up the water bag and shook it. From the sound it made, it seemed like there was only half of it. He said mysteriously, "But it's a good thing. It's called the Endless Water Bag. As long as you overdraw a certain amount, you can get water from it continuously in a short period of time!"
'Why does this sound so familiar?'
Shihui stared at the water bag in the other person's hand in a daze. She always felt that she had seen or heard of this prop somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it now.
"I have almost finished introducing everything."
Seeing that the other party had remained silent, Momo took the initiative to speak without hesitation:
"Those two eggs are very important to me, but they are essentially a disaster to you. Therefore, I am trading them unfairly. Please choose the one you want!"
He did not lie about this matter. These eggs would only cause disaster no matter who got them, so he had to deal with it as soon as possible.
Lime has always had trouble with multiple-choice questions. He even wanted to say, "I want them all," but the remaining conscience in his heart suppressed this idea.
She raised her head, showing her "kind and gentle" smile and said: "Since Mr. Momo is so sincere, I can't let you worry all the time, so I choose this!"
