Chapter 147: Alias, Life Taker!

Guardian, it's better to create an alias before accessing the universal market as it will provide you with a great protective cover! Noah notified.

'I know. If I don't use an alias then people will be able to tell what I am selling or buying, and this might cause me trouble if I sell something rare. It's better to use an alias," With Whittaker's intelligence, he easily inferred the uses of using an alias.

"I want to use an alias!" He said.

Enter alias A screen with a keyboard popped up before him

"I'll use the most threatening alias to scare off anyone interested in my identity." The young boy thought with a smirk. He typed in nine words and his name appeared on the screen.

The user is registered as Life Taker. Welcome to the universal store

At the moment, Life Taker was the most threatening name the innocent Whittaker could come up with. Plus, it shared many similarities with his name too.

In front of him, a holographic screen with many items opened up when he entered his alias. There was a search button on top of the screen and equipment, skills, items, rune, and hot item bars on the side.

He looked at the items in the shop, and they all required contribution points to be purchased. Contribution points were nearly impossible to earn without completing a quest.

The starting item were pretty common but he kept on scrolling down. Soon after, he pressed on the weapon item bar and rare items of the shop appeared on the screen. There were various beast weapons and pieces of equipment, each with unique effects.

The standard price of 1-star to 3-star equipment ranged from 100-10000 contribution points. The price of 4-star to 7-star equipment ranged from 20000-1000000 contribution point. He didn't find any weapon beyond 7-star. As above that was a grey area, not accessible by Whittaker. He could also put on stuff to sell in this shop and exchange them for contribution points or other currencies. If anyone wants to buy it then he will get a notification from the card. After the trade is completed, the amount will be transferred to his Student ID card or twilight Walker's card. For now, 4-star equipment was the only thing he could purchase.

"The value of 3999 contribution points is really huge. Right now, I can purchase one 2-star equipments but I already have a lot of equipment and I can get better ones by asking Elder Zachary for it. Let's look for something else," Whittaker decided to not waste his contribution points to purchase 4-star and higher-level pieces of equipment. He scrolled down the screen to search for something useful.

After searching and searching through different, he found nothing useful or interesting. However, the moment when a pitch-black crystal entered his vision, Noah's monotone voice resounded in his ears.

Guardian, you got to purchase that unidentified pitch-black crystal before someone else does. I can sense an intense energy fluctuation hidden deep inside of it by a high-level runic seal. It's a very rare treasure!" Noah notified him.

Whittaker crystal icy eyes sparkled in interest as he finally found something useful with the help of Noah. It was the pitch-black gem. Its quantity number said 1. It was labeled as an unidentified item. The cost to purchase it was 1999 contribution points.

Whittaker trusted Noah and believed that this item is certainly a treasure. Before someone else buys it, he instantly initiated the purchase process to buy it.

Right then, a purplish magical symbol formed in front of him. Whittaker wondered what it is.

This is the trade portal. Once you place your hand on it, you will enter the negotiation part of the trade with the seller of the item." Noah explained that he has to place his hand on it to progress to the negotiation phase. He placed his hand on the symbol and it scanned his hand, confirming that the purchase was being made by Whittaker and not someone else.

Right then, the seller of this pitch-black crystal also received a notification and a trade portal opened by his side. He was a short teenager with a baby face and short scarlet hair. A sword was hugged tightly in his hand as he sat on a chair and browsed through the universal store to purchase something good. He was an intermediate-level appraiser and a trader that made money by purchasing items at a cheap price and selling them for a higher price.

"Oh, someone's purchasing the unidentified crystal I purchased for 20 contribution points. Just who's this that's paying such a good amount to get that crystal" The trader said. He had inspected the pitch-black crystal but nothing special came up. To the trader, it was just a normal crystal with a pitch-black color.

He had expected that someone will be interested in the unidentified object because of its high price. A crystal that looked mysterious and sold at a high price, some rich person was bound to get interested and invest to obtain it. Now, he just needed to make that the rich man's interest lies the same and the trade is completed without any problem.

With no hesitation, the teenager placed his hand on the trade portal symbol, progressing to the negotiation part of the trade.

Before Life Taker could say anything, Tera said,

"I won't be negotiating the price at all. If you have the money to buy this then buy it straight away otherwise, I will instantly cut off the trade!"

Behind the screen, Tera was sweating a bucket of sweat because of the threatening name Life Taker. But he was confident in the protection system of the universal store. He was sure that Life Taker will not be able to find his real identity. So he proceeded to sell a normal rock for a high price.

"I had the same idea. Let's instantly complete the trade or else, I will cancel this trade," Whittaker wanted to get that item without raising any suspicion. The name Life Taker was extremely arrogant so he decided that the personality of this persona will also be arrogant!

Tera suspicion wasn't raised at all and the trade progressed to the final phase.
