Shi Feng was shocked when he saw the items on the table .
In the past, the only item the Countess had offered for trade was the Temporal Sand, yet now she had offered over ten items . Moreover, none of these items were any less valuable than the Temporal Sand .
As expected of the proprietess of Abyss City's blackmarket Shop . She even has an item like this . Shi Feng's gaze couldn't help but drift to a leaf of lambskin parchment .
Although the Temporal Sand was very valuable, players could obtain it from other sources . However, encountering the lambskin parchment on the table depended on luck .
This parchment was none other than the Magic Thruster Design .
The various large Guild would go crazy over this item .
The Magic Thruster was capable of increasing a ship's Movement Speed by 30% . To naval players, this item was a godsend .
Unlike on land, there were far fewer teleportation points available out at sea . If players wished to travel to a particular island to level, they generally had to travel by boat . A 30% increase to Movement Speed would undoubtedly save players a lot of travel time . Moreover, there were many sea monsters in the ocean . If an ordinary boat encountered a Boss-grade sea monster, escape was practically impossible . With the Magic Thruster, however, even an ordinary boat had a high chance of getting away safely . Players were even more likely to escape if they had an ordinary speedboat or better .
Hence, Magic Thrusters were highly sought after . Even players with cheap ships would be desperate for one .
The Magic Thruster's only drawback was that it was a Consumable item; it would disappear after being used for a certain amount of time . Moreover, depending on how much Mana it uses, the Magic Thruster's duration would differ . The smaller a ship was, the less Mana it would cost to enhance its Movement Speed and vice versa . As an example, on an ordinary speedboat, the Magic Thruster could last for 48 hours .
However, the Magic Thruster was not cheap . Even once the price had stabilized on the market, each thruster had sold for 1 Gold, 50 Silver in the past . It wasn't an item ordinary players could afford . Generally, only powerful adventurer teams and Guilds had purchased the item to augment their high-quality ships . With the speed boost, they could travel to more dangerous locations and reap greater rewards .
Shi Feng had never thought that Countess Katie Green would willingly offer such a precious design for exchange .
Only, the price was slightly high .
The Countess wanted 1,000 Mana Stones for the design…
Even though Shi Feng could synthesize Mana Stones with the Philosopher's Stone, it wasn't a cheap endeavor . Each Mana Stone required 50 Magic Crystals . In other words, that design would cost him 50,000 Magic Crystals .
Although he had accumulated quite a sum recently, he had spent a lot of his crystals during the fight against Crimson Castle . After taking into account his personal expenditures, he only had enough Magic Crystals to purchase two designs .
For a moment, Shi Feng wasn't sure what to do .
Magic Crystals were invaluable to Zero Wing . Without them, it's war weapons would be useless . If he spent all of the Guild's reserves to purchase the Magic Thruster Designs, he would regret the decision should the Guild come under attack .
"Oh, right . I have another item for sale . " Seeing Shi Feng's hesitation, Katie Green smiled . She then retrieved a dark-gray bracelet and placed it on the table . "I happened to come across this treasure by chance . However, it's no longer useful to me . If you can afford it, this item can be yours . "
"This is…" Shi Feng was stunned when he saw the dark-gray bracelet .
The bracelet looked ordinary, like nothing more than a string of dark-gray beads . However, the Golden Stigmata indicated that it was one of the Seven Treasures .
Unfortunately, due to severe damage, it was only an Epic item .
-
[Bracelet of Time] (Epic Rank Item) This bracelet had once possessed the frightening power of time . Unfortunately, it has sustained heavy damage .
Additional Active Skill-
Temporal Sand: Can produce Temporal Sand by absorbing Mana Stones . No Cooldown . (Each Mana Stone produces two grains of Temporal Sand . )
After sustaining damage and being tainted by Evil Energy, the Evil Energy within will taint the item's wearer as well . Drops on death .

This is one of the Seven Treasures? Shi Feng stared at the Bracelet of Time in shock .
Although Mana Stones were expensive and difficult to obtain, Temporal Sand was far more valuable . It also had far more uses . Practically every Lifestyle class could use it . Meanwhile, by using the Bracelet of Time, one only needed to invest one Mana Stone to obtain two Temporal Sand grains . It was certainly a profitable exchange .
He had always wondered how the Countess got her hands on so much Temporal Sand . It turned out that it was thanks to one of the Seven Treasures .
However, it seemed that his previous visit had interrupted Katie Green's plans, forcing the Countess to collect a large number of Mana Stones and convert them into Temporal Sand as quickly as possible .
However, the Countess's asking price was exorbitant . She wanted for 100,000 Mana Stones for the bracelet…
Even if he had the Philosopher's Stone, synthesizing 100,000 Mana Stones would cost him 5,000,000 Mana Stones . With Zero Wing's current net income, it would take months to save up that many Magic Crystals .
As for stealing the Bracelet of Time, even if Shi Feng had 100 lives, he would not dare do so .
"Countess, may I know if I can trade Mana Stones for these items if I visit you in the future?" Shi Feng asked .
If Countess Katie Green had only offered this Bracelet of Time on a whim, it would be out of his hands . If she were selling it long-term, however, he would have a chance to purchase it .
As long as he obtained the Manatite vein on Karna Island and maintained his hold on the rapidly developing Stone Forest Town, he could collect 5,000,000 Magic Crystals given enough time . He was only afraid that the Countess's offer was a one-time chance .
Hearing Shi Feng's question, Katie Green fell silent for a moment . Following which, she replied, "The other items will be available in the future, but I don't want to hold onto this bracelet for long . I am prepared to sell it on the blackmarket to the highest bidder in a month . If you can gather 100,000 Mana Stones before the auction, I'll sell it to you instead . "
"A month, huh?" Shi Feng frowned .
Although it was good news that the Countess wasn't only offering the bracelet right now, the time limit wasn't .
Aside from giants like Super Guilds, collecting 5,000,000 Magic Crystals in a month was a dream .
The various large Guilds spent a large amount of Magic Crystals every day . Even powerful first-rate Guilds could only save four or five thousand crystals per day . Unless he could save up around 170,000 Magic Crystals each day, gathering 5,000,000 in one month would be impossible…
As Shi Feng racked his brain for a solution, Katie Green smiled and said, "If you are interested in the Bracelet of Time, I can give it to you even if you don't have 100,000 Mana Stones . You see, I've recently encountered a little trouble . If you help me deal with this problem, I am willing to offer the bracelet as compensation . "
