Heavenly Destiny Master: "What do you want? Cash or soul points?"
Curse Binding Vajra: "No, soul points can’t be traded; they can only be used by oneself. And I don’t need cash either."
Curse Binding Vajra: "Trades between Awakeners generally adopt the most primitive barter system."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "Then what do you want?"
Although he had been prepared to pay a price, Zhang Yanhang genuinely felt he had nothing to trade. The highest-quality item he had was just a Dark Purple Defense Coin.
But he definitely couldn’t trade that since the Defense Coin was quite useful to him. Moreover, Dark Purple Quality was a level higher than Purple, and their values were not equivalent. If he used it to buy the Dilophosaurus Potion, then Zhang Yanhang would be at a complete loss.
Curse Binding Vajra: "You tell me what you’ve got first."
Zhang Yanhang thought for a moment and sent over the attribute list of his Raccoon City standard police uniform, typing it out by hand.
After all, the attribute list couldn’t be screenshotted, nor could it be photographed with a phone, so Zhang Yanhang had no choice but to type it out by hand.
However, since typing by hand is indeed too troublesome, Zhang Yanhang only sent over the attribute list for one piece of equipment. After all, the focus was on the set effect of the equipment; the individual equipment pieces weren’t that useful. So, for the other nine pieces of equipment, he simply noted their type.

Gu Mingyue looked at the ten-piece White Quality set that Zhang Yanhang sent over and thought it was decent, but the quality was too low.
"Although the quality is low, what kind of monster equipment is a ten-piece set? Can humans really gather that? Even though it doesn’t have any attribute bonuses by itself, once it forms a set, the set effect is all attributes +1. An ordinary Purple Quality piece of equipment could only add two attribute points."
Although Gu Mingyue also possessed a set, it was only a four-piece set. She had put it together when she was Third Tier, and it was slightly outdated for her now, but she still used it regularly.
However, Gu Mingyue felt that the ten-piece set, although somewhat useful for her cousin, still wasn’t quite right, mainly because it occupied too many equipment slots, diminishing its value.
Curse Binding Vajra: "You know, this thing was originally for my cousin, who is now First Tier."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "?"
Curse Binding Vajra: "So, you’ll need to add more money."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "Actually, I have a Green Quality upgraded version of that ten-piece set. And this version only occupies the waistbag slot."
Zhang Yanhang once again typed out the attribute list of the Green Quality set and sent it to the group admin, making it clear that he wasn’t offering the set he was currently wearing.
Although three of his four main attributes could no longer receive bonuses from equipment, once he advanced to Second Tier, this Green Quality set could still provide the set bonus effect. So, the Green Quality set was still quite useful to him.
Mainly because he actually had quite a few spare set parts in his waistbag. While not enough to continue enhancing the Green set’s quality, fusing a new Green set was not a problem, since only a +2 was needed to upgrade set parts to Green Quality. So, forty pieces of equipment would suffice for a ten-piece set.
So if the group admin did want this Green Quality set, Zhang Yanhang could fuse an entirely new ten-piece set for her.
Gu Mingyue looked at the Green set that Zhang Yanhang sent over and began to doubt life again. "Having managed to collect a ten-piece White Quality set is already something, but to also have a Green Quality ten-piece set? Is this what it means to be a Lucky Awakened? Because he has the superpower of the Luck System, he can do whatever he pleases?"
"Indeed, there is a deep chasm between humans and sea seals. While I was still feeling lucky about getting a four-piece set, the sea seal had already gathered two versions of a ten-piece set. What’s more outrageous is that this upgraded set version only takes up one waistbag slot."
Although Gu Mingyue had been adventuring in Ashen World for half a year, she had never encountered this type of set. Suddenly, she wondered if she was somewhat ignorant.
"A Green Ten-piece Set with all attributes +2, my cousin would definitely be very satisfied after receiving this waistbag, right?"
Trading a Purple Quality artifact for a Green ten-piece set seemed like a good deal to Gu Mingyue. Normally, a Purple Quality piece of equipment could only provide a two-point attribute bonus, but this Green ten-piece set, occupying only a waistbag slot, could provide all attributes +2, which was essentially equivalent to five Purple Quality pieces of equipment.
Of course, due to the limitation in quality, the actual gap between them wasn’t so large.
Curse Binding Vajra: "Although Green Quality equipment can’t be used after Third Tier, it’s very useful for First and Second Tier, so I agree to this trade."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "?"
Heavenly Destiny Master: "What do you mean?"
When Zhang Yanhang saw this reply, he was completely baffled. What did it mean that Green Quality equipment couldn’t be used after Third Tier? Was this another rule that a newbie like him didn’t know?
Curse Binding Vajra: "Did I not tell you this before?"
Heavenly Destiny Master: "You did not."
Curse Binding Vajra: "If the equipment worn by an Awakener is more than two ranks below their own, although it can still be worn normally and enjoy the basic functions of the equipment, such as defensive power, it can no longer gain attribute bonus effects."
The group admin then explained the matter in detail to Zhang Yanhang. He summarized that the lower-quality equipment simply lacked the strength to affect High-level Awakeners.
It was understandable, after all, it’s necessary to obey the law of energy conservation. For Low-level people, increasing one point of Strength might only add a few kilograms of force, but for High-level individuals, one point of Strength could add tens of tons of force.
Clearly, there was a huge disparity in the degree of enhancement between them.
Therefore, each quality of equipment had an enhancement limit: White and Green Quality corresponded to First Tier, while Blue and Purple corresponded to Second Tier.
That’s why Awakeners could still get bonuses from wearing Green equipment at Second Tier, but at Third Tier, Green equipment was no longer effective because its enhancement limit could no longer satisfy a Third Tier Awakened.
Thus, it was impossible to wear a set of Low-quality equipment forever.
