Chapter 471: Exchange, Upper Limit Raised
Chapter 471 -469: Exchange, Upper Limit Raised
After some discussion, Faye Yardley and her two companions were led to a spot in The Oasis near the lake. The area was filled with flowers whose thick petals were the perfect size and height to serve as chairs, so Faye sat right down on one.
Faye had to admit, the Sprites had some amazing things. She was immediately taken with their Flower Dew and honey, which they collected and specially processed.
However, what to trade became a major problem. The Sprites wanted for neither food, drink, nor entertainment. In the end, Faye Yardley took out a roll of High Level cloth, a specialty of Islander Krov.
The exquisite patterns and captivating colors unique to the High Level cloth immediately captured the Sprites’ hearts.
[Oasis Flower Honey: Regular consumption refreshes the mind and strengthens the body.]
[Oasis Flower Dew: Can be used to brew tea or cook food. It quenches your thirst and cools you down.]
[Oasis flower seeds: Do not plant in poor conditions, as it has extremely high environmental requirements. If successfully grown to bloom, it can purify the environment.]
After seeing the system’s descriptions for these three items, Master Veridian and Zephyr Sterling also took out things to trade for some.
This experience with the Sprites led Faye Yardley to a conclusion: no matter the race, everyone loved luxurious and exquisite items.
‘Looks like I should prepare more of these in the future.’
Faye Yardley watched the overjoyed Sprites, then took out a pearl. “By the way,” she said, “I also have these—pearls from a Merling’s tears. Would you like to trade for some? But I’ll only accept other rare items in return.”
The moment she presented it, all the Sprites’ eyes were drawn to it. They absolutely loved it.
After conferring among themselves, they brought out a small vase and handed it to Faye Yardley.
[Life Essence: Drinking it grants you the ability of rapid regeneration.]
The trade was five pearls for that one small bottle, and not a drop more.
Faye Yardley thought for a moment, then took a drink herself. A single gulp drained half the bottle.
[Having consumed Life Essence, you have gained a self-healing ability.]
The ability was quite useful for Faye. She asked if she could trade for more, but the Sprites all shook their heads. It wasn’t something they could produce on a whim; the brewing process was incredibly complex, and they didn’t have a large supply.
Faye Yardley offered the remaining half-bottle to Master Veridian, but even after she explained its effects, the Master still refused. He told her to drink the rest herself, suggesting it might enhance the ability.
As for Zephyr Sterling, he already had a Healing Ability and didn’t need it at all.
Faye Yardley’s intuition told her that drinking more wouldn’t strengthen her self-healing ability, so she put the bottle away.
They were near the lake, and just as Faye was wondering whether to use a net or a rod, Master Veridian waded right in and started catching fish with his bare hands.
The Sprites were also very interested in the fish and traded some of their Oasis plant seeds for a few.
When Faye Yardley got into the water herself, she gathered many of the lake’s native clams and aquatic plants, and even stumbled upon a Silver Treasure Chest.
Meanwhile, Zephyr Sterling, who had stayed on shore to explore, also had a fruitful search—his Healing Ability even leveled up unexpectedly.
They rushed back to their rafts just as their time was up.
When Faye Yardley’s invitation time ended, she was instantly teleported back to her raft.
She had just stepped into her cabin when a message from Zephyr Sterling arrived. “Yardley, your luck is good. Could you do us a favor and open this chest? I’ll send it over in a Gift.”
The main reason was that Silver Treasure Chests were very rare, and since the master and disciple duo both had ordinary Luck Values, they unanimously decided to have Faye Yardley open it for them.
Faye Yardley paused for a moment after reading the message, then accepted the Gift. Inside, along with the Silver Treasure Chest, was a stack of talismans.
After bathing and changing her clothes, Faye Yardley started a video call with Zephyr Sterling so they could watch her open the chest in real time.
Master Veridian looked a little displeased at her setup. “Yardley, you could have just opened it, taken what you need, and given us the rest,” he said. “Why go to the trouble of making a call? If we didn’t trust you, we wouldn’t have asked for your help.”
Zephyr Sterling nodded in agreement. Clearly, they trusted her completely.
“I know you trust me, but I wanted to share the excitement of opening it with you right away!” Faye Yardley said, beginning to mutter a little chant before opening the chest.
[Obtained: Energy Stone x2, Life Essence (50ml) x1, Oasis Small Fish x5, Guild Upgrade Coupon x2, Talent Stone x1, Energy Protection Tower Blueprint x1]
Talent triggered… Rewards tripled.
“Whoa, this is all great stuff! I’ll send it over to you now.”
Faye excitedly showed them each item. The multiplied items went directly into her inventory, which meant she received a bonus three times the size of the original loot.
However, the master and his disciple didn’t see it that way.
After some friendly arguing, Faye Yardley kept the Guild Upgrade Coupons and the Oasis Small Fish, sending the rest over to them.
After ending the call, she took a closer look at the palm-sized fish.
[Oasis Small Fish: A special-grade ingredient. Don’t try to raise it; it cannot survive outside The Oasis. Eating it will have an unexpected effect! ~]
‘A special-grade ingredient, huh?’ Faye thought she could ask Willow to cook a nice meal and invite the others over to share it.
It was already evening, so she asked Willow Yardley to prepare the fish.
Then, rubbing her hands in anticipation, she took out her own Silver Treasure Chest and opened it after offering another sincere prayer to the system.
[Obtained: Life Essence (50ml) x2, Island Ownership Transfer Card x1, Talent Stone x1, Refined Island Entry Order x1, High Level Space Stone x2]
Talent triggered… Rewards quadrupled.
“Hahaha! Oh, great System, I knew you loved me!~”
‘This Double Good Luck Talent is just too overpowered.’
‘A quadruple bonus is like opening five chests at once!’
She sent one of the Island Entry Orders to Zephyr Sterling.
A call came through almost immediately.
“Yardley, why would you give me something so valuable? Take it back, quick.”
Faye Yardley held up another one, waving it in front of the camera. “I have more! If you hadn’t invited me, I never would have gotten that chest from The Oasis Lake. Besides, I kept all the other stuff. Just take it. Otherwise, I’ll be too embarrassed to team up with you guys next time.”
“Since Yardley put it that way, just accept it,” Master Veridian’s voice came from off-screen. “We’ll just make sure to invite her along next time we go to an island.”
Faye Yardley nodded emphatically. “Exactly! Just take it, Mr. Zephyr Sterling. Oh, and by the way, I’ve got Willow preparing dinner. Don’t forget to come over later.”
‘My brother’s guild is already max level, so he won’t need the Upgrade Coupons. Maybe I should invite Mr. Pierce and Mr. Jonas over for dinner as well.’
She invited everyone to her raft for dinner, which was served on the veranda. They ate with the evening breeze on their faces and the scent of flowers in the air, enjoying the boundless, open view.
Faye Yardley gave one of the bottles of Life Essence to her brother, telling him to down it in one go.
After all, the portion she had traded for was larger than the ones from the chest, and it seemed a standard dose was only 50 milliliters.
After everyone had a bowl of the fish soup, they all heard a system notification: [Your Four-dimensional Attributes cap has been increased.]
