Star-Attracting Skill.

From the name, it seems like a rather classy Body Refining Manual.

However, Yun You also knows that the authors of these manuals love giving their works a cool name.

Like "World Destroyer," or "Celestial Funeral," the names sound incredibly awesome, but when you open them, well, they're just a souped-up version of elementary school broadcast gymnastics, utterly useless.

So Yun You was not bewitched by the name Star-Attracting Skill.

She glanced over the manual and casually asked, "Yuanbao, are you also practicing this Body Refining Manual?"

If Yuanbao was also practicing the Star-Attracting Skill, that would be enough to prove the technique's effectiveness.

After all, this girl had just used one punch to blast another Apprentice Death God... Her basic body training technique must be extremely outstanding and worth purchasing.

"No, I didn't practice the Star-Attracting Skill."

Yuanbao shook her head frankly and said, "I originally planned to practice it, but later discovered that this book is a manual with 'uniqueness.'

"Uniqueness?"

Hearing this rather novel term, Yun You became interested, and she curiously asked, "What is uniqueness? Does it mean only one person can read this book?"

"Bingo~ You guessed it right."

Yuanbao snapped her fingers and patiently explained, "Just because it's a paper book, don't think it can't have tricks like an e-book could."

"There are many tricks in Nest City, even a piece of paper or a painting can be imprinted with supernatural power by an Apprentice Death God."

"As for this Star-Attracting Skill... As for who its author is, due to the era being too distant, it even exceeds the scope of historical records, so we have no way to verify."

"We only know that its creator engraved the 'uniqueness' reading seal within its pages."

Yuanbao took the book, opened it, and pointed to a blank page inside, saying, "You think you can't see the contents because I haven't transferred permission to you? Wrong."

"Even if you take this book to the real world now, it will still be a book with no words."

"To read it, there's only one way—drop your own blood on the book's front page, write your name in blood, and then the text will gradually appear in a way only you can see. No one else can see the text no matter what methods they employ."

"This kind of anti-theft measure is much more effective than electronic locks and metal locks,"

Shrugging, Yuanbao helplessly said, "I was also planning to give up my current Body Refining Manual and start anew with this Star-Attracting Skill... Because my teacher told me that manuals with uniqueness seals are usually stronger than ordinary ones, that's why the creator would add a seal to prevent its endless dissemination."

"Everyone wants to become stronger, and I'm no exception, but the problem is the body training technique I'm already proficient in is very suitable for me, and switching rashly might result in a regression in my skills or something."

"Moreover, this Star-Attracting Skill itself is an incomplete manuscript, so there's no guarantee that I'd be able to learn it well, so I can only give it up... Might as well take it out and sell it for money, making the best possible use of it."

"As for the price... This 270,000 Silver Cannon is calculated based on the market price. I intended to sell it for 300,000, but seeing how we seem to click, I'll just name a single price of 270,000."

"How about this price? Isn't it a good deal?"

Yuanbao cautiously moved closer to Yun You, smilingly asked, "Do you want to buy it? Such a good thing is hard to come by~"

Although the boss lady's words carried a hint of "enticement," making people subconsciously regard her as a swindler...

But, frankly, Yun You was indeed tempted.

If one considers Body Training Manuals as martial arts secrets in a game, then books with "uniqueness" are equivalent to the world's unique "ultimate skills." Everyone wants to own one, and naturally, Yun You isn't an exception either.

So, after thinking for a while, she gave her answer.

"Sorry, no deal."

With that, she closed the trading panel.

"Eh?"

Yuanbao, who was about to pack up the Star-Attracting Skill, was stunned, the bright smile on her face vanished, replaced by a bit of astonishment.

"Why did you suddenly decide not to buy it?"

She instinctively asked, "Do you not like it, or is my service attitude not good enough... Or do you have other plans?"

"No, it's just that I'm out of money."

Yun You sighed helplessly, speaking from the heart.

Old Jin only gave her 200,000, and with her own 10,000, that's only 210,000 Silver Cannon altogether.

She couldn't afford the Star-Attracting Skill valued at 270,000, not to mention she spent 75,000 buying a chip earlier, and now she has just over 130,000 left, which isn't enough to buy the Body Refining Manual even if doubled.

And with Yuanbao's firm refusal to haggle, it was clear she wouldn't give Yun You a 50% discount and sell it at a loss.

"Well... Not having money is indeed a big problem."

Seeing Yun You's conflicted little eyes, Yuanbao realized her predicament.

"I would've helped you out, but the gap is just too big..."

Yuanbao pouted and quietly said, "Even close kin need to settle accounts clearly; this 140,000 Silver Cannon gap really can't be negotiated."

"I understand."

Yun You waved it off, indicating understanding.

But she didn't give up immediately; instead, she thought for a moment and came up with another idea.

"Yuanbao, do you accept... uh, war trophies?"

"War trophies? You mean the treasures and mutant materials taken from the Death Domain? We certainly do!"

Without hesitation, Yuanbao nodded and pointed to the corner of her shop.

There, a wooden board leaned against the ground with a few crooked large characters written on its front.

"Buying scrap, old appliances, discarded chips, high-priced acquisition of strange things and mutant creature remains, those interested can add me as friend for private chat.'

"I love tinkering with old stuff myself, as long as you think your items have value, you can find me for recycling. The price is absolutely fair."

Yuanbao casually opened the trading panel and asked, "So what do you want to sell now?"

Yun You was silent for a while before taking a white crystal and a golden disc from her pocket.

The white crystal was something Yun You found in an android's ashes, and the golden disc was dropped by the headless monster for her.

Although she never knew what these two things were used for, just being related to mutant creatures meant they couldn't be cheap trinkets.
