Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

Contrary to Su Mubai's expectations, the attribute gems sold at Jade Stone Shop were only up to level 5.

This applies even to all the jewelry processing shops in Donghai City.

Su Mubai had never used these level 5 gems for free, so he only now realized that the highest level of ordinary attribute gems was level 5.

A level 1 attribute gem adds 10 points to the corresponding attribute. The attribute doubles with each level increase, and a level 5 gem adds 160 points!

However, to synthesize it, you need three gems of the same level.

The success rate of synthesizing a level 1 item into a level 2 item is close to 100%, but the success rate will decrease as you go on.

Even the jewelry processing masters at Yushizhai only have a success rate of about 70% in synthesizing a level 5 gem from three level 4 gems.

This was because he had extensive experience and used some special materials that increased the success rate.

Above level 5 gems are called brilliant gems, which are divided into three levels, each increasing the corresponding attribute by 1%.

Unless the attribute exceeds 16,000 points, a level 1 brilliant gem is not as cost-effective as a level 5 ordinary gem.

Most importantly, ordinary gems cannot be combined into brilliant gems. Apart from being dropped by legendary or higher-level creatures, only master jewelers can create them.

Of course, this is not a problem for Su Mubai; he can still get the promotion for free.

“Mr. Baiye, I can offer 1500 gold coins to buy the level 5 power gem you have.”

After the beautiful young woman finished her introduction, she smiled at Su Mubai and added at the end, "This is the industry standard, and it's the highest price I can offer."

Su Mubai remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the price list on the counter.

Level 1 attribute gem, 8 gold coins each.

Level 2 attribute gem, 30 gold coins each.

Level 3 attribute gem, 120 gold coins each.

Level 4 attribute gem, 500 gold coins each.

Level 5 attribute gem, 3000 gold coins each.

This is just the price of attribute gems; special gems such as critical hit and critical damage gems are five times more expensive.

The other party offered only half the purchase price.

However, Su Mubai didn't care. As long as he could acquire it, it was a risk-free business for him.

Buy level 4, upgrade to level 5 for free, and then sell. You'll make a profit of 1000 gold coins per item.

The only thing limiting his ability to make money was the number of gems that Jade Pavilion possessed.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mubai looked at the beautiful young woman: "What if it's a level 1 brilliant gem? What price would you offer?"

"Sir, you're really putting me in a difficult position."

The beautiful young woman gave Su Mubai a charmingly disdainful look and said with a smile, "Brilliant gems are a rare resource in the empire, I wouldn't dare to trade them privately."

"If you really have it, I suggest you send it directly to an auction house; I'm sure you'll get a good result."

"I was just asking."

Su Mubai smiled slightly and waved his hand to take out all the gems: "Calculate how much it costs in total. I'll sell them all to you."

"Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Bai Ye to be so generous."

Upon seeing so many level 5 gems, the beautiful young woman's smile deepened, and she immediately began to calculate.

“这里是40颗5级属性宝石，6颗5级特殊宝石，16颗2级属性宝石，3颗2级特殊宝石，没问题吧？”

After the inventory was completed, the beautiful young woman confirmed with Su Mubai.

"no problem."

"Okay, that's 105465 gold coins in total."

The beautiful young woman immediately initiated the transaction, as if afraid he would regret it.

Su Mubai smiled slightly and confirmed the transaction.

You have received 105465 gold coins, and your current balance is 108625 gold coins.

Despite appearing calm on the surface, Su Mubai was inwardly bursting with excitement.

One hundred thousand gold coins!

What are you waiting for, players?

Wouldn't it be better to trade with the locals?!

But he suppressed his excitement and continued, "I need a batch of level 4 gems. How many do you have here?"

Although the young woman couldn't understand why Su Mubai sold a level 5 item to buy a level 4 one, she couldn't refuse a business opportunity.

She smiled charmingly and said, "The shop currently has 100 level 4 attribute gems and 10 level 4 special gems. I wonder how many Mr. Bai Ye would like?"

"only these?"

Su Mubai frowned.

Such a large jewelry processing shop has such a small inventory.

"Sir, you may not know this, but gemstones are always in short supply. We can only acquire a limited number each day, so we don't have much stock."

"And our main business is jewelry processing."

Su Mubai then remembered that Jade Stone Shop mainly made money by synthesizing, setting, and extracting gemstones, rather than simply buying and selling gemstones.

"Alright, I'll take all the level four gems!"

Su Mubai waved his hand, preparing to pay, when suddenly an idea struck him, and he took out the [East Sea Token] and waved it.

"Can this thing be discounted?"

"Oh my, so you are the city lord's distinguished guest."

The beautiful young woman lightly covered her red lips, her eyes filled with shock, and even her form of address changed: "Lord Baiye, with your status, you can enjoy a 20% discount on almost every shop in Donghai City."

An unexpected surprise.

Su Mubai raised an eyebrow, put away the [East Sea Token], and directly traded all the money to the other party, saying, "Take all the level four items, and exchange the rest for level three gems."

Ten minutes later, Su Mubai collected a large pile of gems and was escorted to the entrance of the Jade Stone Shop by the beautiful young woman.

Fortunately, gems can be stacked, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to fit them all in his current backpack.

Only after the frost had dissipated did the beautiful young woman turn back into the shop, murmuring to herself:

"It seems that another big figure is about to emerge in Donghai City."

……

"Let's go to the next jewelry processing shop."

Su Mubai sat on the throne with an excited expression and pointed out the direction to Bing Shuang.

Then he looked at the gems in his backpack, and a thought struck him.

[Catastrophe]!

"Advanced to the next rank!"

For the next two hours, Su Mubai visited several jewelry processing shops in Donghai City.

At this point, his equipment was already fully socketed with level 5 gems.

Even more outrageous is that the gold coins in his backpack have reached a terrifying 98!

We're just a hair's breadth away from breaking the million mark!

The inventory of level 3 and level 4 gems is not significantly different in each store.

Su Mubai used his initial capital of over 100,000 gold coins as capital, buying from upstream suppliers and selling to downstream suppliers, earning an average of over 200,000 gold coins from each store.

If it weren't for the fact that these shops could only take so much food, he could have gotten a lot more level 1 and 2 gems for free.

But that would attract too much attention.

The only regret is that he can't buy back the nesting dolls of the gems he sold.

After all, no matter how many times it changes hands, it's still the same thing.

If he wants to get something for free again, he'll have to wait until these jewelry processing shops sell out all the gems he upgraded.

In addition to the gems embedded in his equipment and 98 gold coins, Su Mubai also had more than 40 level 5 attribute gems in his backpack that had not yet been upgraded.

This is the entire inventory of several jewelry processing shops, including those previously sold to Yushizhai, all of which Su Mubai has bought back.

Ignoring the beautiful young woman's questioning gaze, Su Mubai turned and walked out of the Jade Shop.

Having upgraded all these gems to Level 1 Brilliant Gems for free, Frost has now reached its next destination.

Donghai Auction House!
