Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Black waterproof boots slowly stepped over the threshold of the dojo.

"Guest, hello!"

The golden-haired woman in front of him took off her hat, placed it on her chest, and bowed gently.

In the span of a breath, Chen Qi scanned her from head to toe.

She was wearing the standard uniform of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, a standard golden ponytail, a white shirt and loose red pants, and she had a curved saber at her waist, making her look very upright.

Chen Qi's intuition faintly noticed spiritual power lines at her jaw, much like the stitches from sewing.

The human-skin mask that was disguising her, her spiritual power field was like a great tree, the spiritual power field of a Third-order Transcendent.

Who exactly was she? A wave of doubts rose in Chen Qi's heart.

The place he was currently at was one of the Blood Blade Pirate Group's main ships, the Blood Blade, located near Red Maple Island.

On the main ship, there were many patrolling crew members as well as many powerful Third-order Transcendents.

A normal Third-order Transcendent trying to infiltrate this place would be as difficult as streaking around a busy street undetected.

In other words, she was either an insider of the Blood Blade Pirate Group or a Transcendent with extremely strong stealth abilities.

Or perhaps, she was both... Chen Qi's Residual Fire Touch stirred slightly.

If she was an ally, then the easiest way would have been to enter Red Maple Island first, then board the Blood Blade and finally sneak in here while the guards weren't paying attention.

At this moment, the golden-haired woman showed her white teeth and said:

"Guest, it's our first meeting. I'm a merchant, here to sell some interesting information!

And this will only cost you a friendly price of one hundred thousand Shell Coins!"

A merchant, a Transcendent of the shell phase? Chen Qi's expression remained unaltered, his emotions exceptionally stable, as he spoke slowly:

"One hundred thousand Shell Coins is too expensive, Miss Merchant."

Chen Qi looked her straight in the eye:

"What if I beat you up, could the first piece of information be free?"

"Oh? Beat me up?"

The golden-haired woman tilted her head slightly, her lips curving into a disdainful yet playful smirk:

"You've fooled others, but you can't fool a professional information dealer, Black Hunter. You have some skills, but don't be too arrogant!

In this ocean, there are legendary people, not just you! Although you and the Witch have a better relationship, that doesn't mean your strength is comparable to hers."

Her intuition was enough to discern my rank, and in their eyes, I was but an appendage to the Witch.

Shell phase, coupled with worship for the Witch, and a relatively good relationship with the Blood Blade Pirate Group... Chen Qi pondered, quickly arriving at an answer.

The Ice Witch Pirate Group!

And as an information broker, not to mention her opening gambit...

Her identity was most likely that of the second-in-command of the Ice Witch Pirate Group, the traveling merchant Jin Li.

Someone arrogant but quick to yield... Chen Qi didn't hesitate and directly exposed her identity:

"Ice Witch Pirate Group's Jin Li, I know of you, which is why I wanted to give it a try."

"This..."

Jin Li clearly hesitated for a moment, as an information dealer, to be called out on her identity upon first meeting.

And yet, knowing her identity, I still dared to challenge her to a fight!

Jin Li, as a Transcendent who steadfastly adhered to the shell and Lamp Phases and traveled everywhere, had been injured, killed, and defeated, but never cowered!

Jin Li silently stepped forward, making a welcoming gesture:

"Fine, if you can beat me! I can give you a piece of information worth one hundred thousand Shell Coins for free! But by the same token, if you lose, you owe me one hundred thousand Shell Coins!"

With the hissing of the air, Jin Li's spiritual power field suddenly expanded, growing from a small tree three meters high to a large tree five meters high in an instant!

Chen Qi formed the starting pose for a punch, recalling the Transcendent's information.

If the big boss of the Ice Witch Pirate Group, Palu, worked hard every day, then Jin Li, the major merchant, was the opposite of Palu, a typical deceiver.

Jin Li, a Fourth Rank Legend, a traveling merchant, with shell and Lamp Phases, was a very special Legend.

She had numerous nicknames, the Mysterious Merchant, Super Swindler, Lifeline, the Easiest Legend to Kill, King of Gold Coins, Female Merchant, and King of the Heart...

Although her combat power was not strong among Fourth Rank Legends, she had a very powerful ability:

Survival!

Her traveling merchant possessed three divine skills, first, the Merchant's Journey, which allowed Jin Li to teleport randomly within an exceedingly large area to a place "with good business," and the skill could even ignore spatial limitations.

Thus, in many dangerous cracks, one could see Jin Li breaking through the rank restrictions of the crack, appearing out of nowhere, and then, carrying a large backpack, peddling equipment and items to adventurers within the crack.

Therefore, Jin Li was also known as the most incredible Mysterious Merchant among the player forums.

Of course, as the queen of deception, her prices were at least five times the original value of the items!

Second, Super Currency, which was a high-order skill of shell phase Transcendents, simply put, was the ability to acquire a special currency by completing tasks and then use it to enter a special store to exchange for unique items.

In this store, there were all kinds of items.

If the Transcendent also possessed a special Dice Phase item, they could even directly purchase a Fourth Rank Legend's Occupation Card in that store.

Third, the Supreme Adventurer, the Transcendent could create a clone for their own travel by 'reducing their own strength' and 'a large amount of Gold Coins,' and set a resurrection point.
