[Name: Holy Fork]
[Category: Weapon (Normal Legendary)]
[Equip Requirement: ID 441985]
[Effect 1: Holy War (Spend points to summon Grass Fork Knights for battle. Every 10 points summons 1 Grass Fork Knight.)]
[Description: Proof of clearing the Round Table Knights world through a special method. This is also the true form of the foremost among the three sacred artifacts of the Round Table Knights. It's said that whoever possesses it shall wield absolute authority over the entire world.]
The so-called Holy Fork had now truly become the Holy Fork—a divine artifact that could endlessly spawn soldiers.
And each soldier only cost 10 points to summon. These 10 points were barely even the teleportation fee in the Nightmare Space, so the Grass Fork Knights essentially helped for free.
This "normal" legendary weapon with just a single unique attribute was, in truth, monstrously powerful.
Of course, there was a cost to obtaining it—this mission's end-chest was gone. Or rather, it had been replaced by the Holy Fork.
Qin Ming flicked the tiny fork in his hand, laughing and sighing at the same time.
What even is this? A man-made holy artifact? Did bragging actually make it real?
He tucked the fork inside his clothes and casually allocated his stat points, dumping all of them into Agility to better balance his overall stats.
Once that was done, Qin Ming finally turned his gaze to the true spoils of this mission—the loot chests.
King Arthur's chest, the Evil Grand Duke's chest, the Evil Grand Duke's younger brother's chest, Lancelot's chest, Percival's chest, and numerous chests dropped by minor enemies.
Among the main trio, all of their chests were dazzling silver grade.
Originally, King Arthur's chest should have been gold, since there was a chance the Sword in the Stone might drop.
But because Qin Ming had taken the sword by unconventional means, and because Arthur had been captured by his own men, the value of his chest tanked and it got downgraded.
Not that it mattered—Qin Ming could always make up for the grade difference. It didn't affect him at all.
This time, he'd obtained a huge number of chests—after all, it had been a massive campaign. He wasn't short on fusion materials.
However, forcibly activating the satellite phone and calling in the entire Hound Squad had burned through a ton of points. In fact, it had completely emptied Qin Ming's savings and left him severely drained.
But Qin Ming had already prepared for this—and had a plan to recover.
Once this plan was in motion, he'd never be short on points again.
And that plan was...
On the street, dozens of small stalls suddenly popped up, piled high with random goods.
These items were all over the place—equipment, consumables, skill books—an absolute mess.
But they all had two things in common: first, their quality was high; second, their prices were dirt cheap.
That's right—Qin Ming had begun mass-buying low-tier items from the fusion space and reselling them!
He was back to his old trade—as a streetwise, opportunistic black-market vendor.
He bought low-grade consumables at high prices from adventurers, synthesized them into higher-grade goods, and sold them at low prices.
By doing this, he monopolized the market and profited off the price difference.
He paid more than others to stock up, yet sold for less than anyone else. Qin Ming was confident he could monopolize the entire low-tier equipment market within three months—becoming the only gear supplier for low-level adventurers.
Now that he had strength and resources, it was finally time for his unique talent skill to truly shine.
Being a king in a mission world? That was nothing. Qin Ming was going to become the Warlord of Arms Dealing in the Nightmare Space itself.
From now on, when leaders of other forces saw him, they'd have to greet him with respect—he'd be the lone arms dealer who dominated the game.
Points? What were points? Just numbers! He'd have as many as he wanted from now on!
While Kasamoto Eri was out shopping and buying up items at high prices in bulk, Qin Ming lay on a chair in a daze.
The table held several pieces of loot Qin Ming had obtained this time—those he actually found worth looking at.
[Name: Evil Grand Duke's Dark Crown]
[Category: Headgear (Dim Legendary Grade)]
[Equip Requirement: Constitution 50]
[Effect 1: Strength +10]
[Effect 2: Constitution +10]
[Effect 3: Evil Power (When contesting strength with an enemy, strength value is doubled)]
[Description: Only those who master power have the right to claim kingship]
[Name: Lancelot's Boots]
[Category: Footwear (Brilliant Silver Grade)]
[Equip Requirement: Agility 25]
[Effect 1: Agility +10]
[Effect 2: Running speed +25%]
[Description: Anyone can run straight, but true speed is about cornering fast]
Among the Evil Grand Duke brothers, the younger brother Allen's crown and Lancelot's boots were both top-tier gear, very useful to Qin Ming.
Especially the former—it was like hitting the jackpot, a legendary-grade item. Though it didn't have many special effects, the last one was explosively powerful.
What does "strength doubled in a contest" mean? It means if someone wants to throw Qin Ming using a grappling move, they must have at least double his strength—or catch him by surprise so he can't use his full power—to succeed.
With this attribute, Qin Ming was basically immune to all grappling moves of the same level.
As for the gear dropped by King Arthur and Percival? Arthur's was armor, Percival's was an axe—both had good stats but Qin Ming couldn't use them, so he had Kasamoto Eri sell them.
Besides these pieces of loot, the real highlight was the Evil Grand Duke Garibaldi's chest.
Among the Evil Grand Duke brothers, the younger's golden chest hit the jackpot by dropping a legendary item.
The older brother's chest was even more valuable. What it dropped was a sacred artifact!
[Name: Broken Holy Grail]
[Category: Special Item (Dim Legendary Quality)]
[Equip Requirement: None]
[Effect 1: Drinking water from the Holy Grail greatly extends lifespan, restores youth, and heals all injuries. Can only be used once per person per year. (Due to the Grail's damage, effect is only 25%)]
[Description: When betrayed by his subordinates, the Evil Grand Duke resolutely smashed the Holy Grail—if he couldn't have it, no one could!]
Another legendary item, and one of the finest in the Round Table Knights world: the Holy Grail!
Staring at the golden cup in his hand, Qin Ming laughed and cried at once.
He didn't know whether to feel lucky or unlucky.
The bad news: the cup was destroyed by the Evil Grand Duke, so its effect was greatly diminished.
The good news: if the Evil Grand Duke hadn't destroyed it, the Holy Grail would definitely never have dropped.
So this was a kind of accidental jackpot. The Round Table Knights world's boss really had loot of extraordinary value.
Now Qin Ming had the fork and the cup. If he could find a pair of chopsticks and a plate, he'd truly complete the four-piece dining set.
Gently swirling the Holy Grail in his hand, Qin Ming's eyes flickered deeply.
Now that he had broken free from all shackles and fully unlocked the seal, this damaged Holy Grail would have to be upgraded and restored somehow.
As for the resources needed to upgrade the Grail? Resources were abundant in the Nightmare Space, after all!
