Chapter 118 Qiao Shuming's Speechlessness
"Brother Zhao Hai, you all know that artifact crafters can create artifacts. So do you think that artifact crafters can create artifacts as long as they have strange materials?" Qiao Shuming did not directly tell Zhao Hai and the others about the artifact crafter hierarchy. Instead, he asked them a question.
"That's what I originally thought, but since you said that, Captain Qiao, then it probably isn't like that, right?" Zhao Hai tentatively guessed.
"Brother Zhao Hai is right. These artifact crafters are like the artifact refiners in those cultivation novels. Without the corresponding artifact materials, they cannot create artifacts."
Qiao Shuming nodded, then continued:
"Just like Ding Hao said, the Phantom Mirror is a strange artifact that requires a fragment of a bronze mirror that fell from a strange body to be made," Qiao Shuming explained to Zhao Hai without hiding anything.
"I see! Captain Qiao, is that strange artifact made with just one strange material?" Zhao Hai continued to ask.
"If I had encountered a Sequence 1 Trickster, I might have answered you that way, but I encountered a Sequence 2 Trickster, so naturally it's not what you guessed!" Qiao Shuming said with a smug look, as if it was an honor to know this.
"Oh? Captain Joe, could you tell us more details?"
"The Sequence 1 Artifact Crafting sequence and the Sequence 2 Artifact Crafting sequence are vastly different. The Sequence 1 Artifact Crafting sequence can only create artifacts made from a single piece of strange material! While the Sequence 2 Artifact Crafting sequence can create artifacts made from two pieces of strange material!"
"And this artifact, made from two strange materials, is definitely much more powerful than one made from only one strange material!" Qiao Shuming introduced to the group.
"I see, thank you so much, Captain Qiao! Otherwise, we wouldn't have known any of this information!" Xu Wenchu was very cooperative with Zhao Hai, his face full of gratitude.
"However, finding a cryptic artifact craftsman to help you create a cryptic artifact made from two strange materials is extremely difficult!" Qiao Shuming said with a hint of self-deprecation.
"Oh? Why does Captain Qiao say that?" Xu Wenchu asked.
"It is said that when a level 2 artifact crafter creates an artifact made from two strange materials, the side effects are severe, and many artifact crafters are unwilling to help others create artifacts made from two strange materials," Qiao Shuming explained.
"I see!" Zhao Hai and the others nodded.
"By the way, do you know what kind of strange materials can be used to make strange artifacts?" Qiao Shuming also brought up this intriguing topic.
"Of course we want to know that. Could Captain Qiao tell us?" Xu Wenchu replied.
"Of course I'm willing to tell you, but we exchanged a lot of supplies with that Level 2 Artifact Master to get this list! Captain Xu, if you want to know, shouldn't you give us something in return?" Qiao Shuming looked at Xu Wenchu and the others with a smile.
At this moment, he also revealed his true purpose.
Although the information from the artifact maker wasn't particularly valuable, it wouldn't be so easily shared with other caravans.
The reason Qiao Shuming told Xu Wenzhu and the others about the artifact maker was because he was waiting for them here in the artifact list!
Although Xu Wenchu's team had fewer supplies than their Little Sheep team, how could they let go of this opportunity to get supplies for free!
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch!
"Well, Captain Qiao, you know our convoy is already short on supplies. Besides, we only have this one strange material. Getting that list wouldn't be of much use to us. And whether our convoy will even encounter a Twisted Artifact Master is still uncertain! So, let's not bother with that list for now!"
Zhao Hai was afraid that Xu Wenchu, that idiot, would agree to exchange supplies for the list, so he immediately spoke up first.
Are you kidding me? Zhao Hai doesn't have a list of all sorts of strange artifacts in his system, so why would he need to exchange lists with Qiao Shuming and the others?
Moreover, Zhao Hai was certain that the so-called list in Qiao Shuming's hands was definitely not as comprehensive as the one in his system!
Zhao Hai simply wanted to get some information about the Weapon Master sequence from Qiao Shuming.
Therefore, Zhao Hai would not be a sucker like that.
"Well... in that case, Brother Zhao Hai, I'm sorry, we can't give you this list!" Qiao Shuming said, feigning reluctance.
In fact, Qiao Shuming was already cursing under his breath at this moment.
I never expected the Star Train fleet to be so stingy. It's just a list; Qiao Shuming isn't going to ask them for a lot of supplies!
It's true, I just wasted so much breath explaining the information about the Weapon Master sequence to them.
How come I didn't realize back then that the Star Train crew was not only poor, but also stingy!
"It's alright, Captain Qiao. We never even considered getting this list anyway. After all, our team isn't very strong. Even if we encounter something strange, we can't kill it! So, this list is completely useless to us. We never even considered getting it!" Zhao Hai said casually.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Shuming became even angrier. So all that was he doing was playing the good guy and answering their questions!
Besides, your team isn't exactly weak! You have two Sequence 2 Transcendents!
You can't even kill a Level 1 Abomination? You're fucking kidding me! A Sequence 2 Sequence Transcendent plus several of your Sequence 1 Sequence Transcendents, and you're telling me you can't kill a Level 1 Abomination?! Do you think I'd believe that?
Qiao Shuming was utterly speechless.
However, even so, Qiao Shuming said with a smile:
"Oh, I see! Otherwise, I was thinking of selling this list to you at a low price!"
Seeing that Qiao Shuming had taken the initiative to lower the price and had not given up on the idea of getting them to "buy" the list, Zhao Hai once again refused Qiao Shuming's "kindness".
"Thank you so much for your kind offer, Captain Joe, but unfortunately we really don't need this list. Otherwise, we would have bought it from you already!"
Looking at Zhao Hai's innocent expression, Qiao Shuming was speechless.
He doesn't even want to see Zhao Hai and his group anymore; he feels that they are really an eyesore.
Seeing that Qiao Shuming remained silent, Ding Hao turned to Zhao Hai and the others and asked, "Captain Xu, how do you plan to exchange that strange material you have?"
