When Seraphina Sullivan stopped in front of Crystal Lynn’s stall, her gaze landed on the Dancing Grass. The female Player, Crystal Lynn, spoke up.
Her voice was a bit hoarse but very direct: "Want to trade for this Dancing Grass?"
Her eyes held a hint of hope, as if she was desperate to make the trade.
Seraphina gave her a friendly smile and gently shook her head. She had no intention of making a trade.
At her response, the faint glimmer in Crystal Lynn’s eyes quickly faded.
She stopped looking at Seraphina and lowered her head again. Her gaze fell on the few shabby "goods" before her, her brow furrowed as if she was troubled by something.
Seraphina could vaguely sense that the woman was under immense pressure to survive, perhaps even had a family to support. It made her seem a little out of place in the trading area.
Just then, Dexter Luther’s voice cut in from the side, shattering the somewhat somber atmosphere.
"Sullivan! Chandler! We’re here!"
Dexter Luther walked over, leading three other people.
Two men and a woman followed behind him. They all looked like his teammates and carried themselves with a capable air.
Seraphina’s gaze naturally shifted to the three people Dexter had brought with him.
Her Eye of Resume activated silently, and their basic information immediately appeared before her:
[Name: Matthew Dawson]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: 2]
[Professional Skills and Talents: Data Perception - Can perceive and analyze non-visual information like energy flows and structural weaknesses to a limited extent.]
[Skills: Heavy Punch Strike]
[Weaknesses: Slow movement speed.]
[Name: Chloe Lewis]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: 2]
[Professional Skills and Talents: Gale Step - Greatly increases movement speed and physical agility for a short period, producing a faint afterimage effect.]
[Skills: Dagger Mastery, Weakness Insight]
[Weaknesses: Low defense; weak in frontal combat.]
[Name: Morgan Brooks]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: 2]
[Professional Skills and Talents: Precise Throwing - Greatly increases the accuracy and effective range of thrown weapons (including but not limited to flying knives, stones, grenades, etc.).]
[Weaknesses: Extremely poor close-quarters combat ability; requires protection from teammates.]
This squad’s composition seemed quite reasonable.
They had Matthew Dawson for intelligence analysis and tactical command, Chloe Lewis as an assassin or scout, and Morgan Brooks as a ranged attacker.
Combined with Dexter Luther, a tank with some close-combat ability and a special defensive Talent, the squad’s composition was quite balanced and professional.
Seraphina’s estimation of them couldn’t help but rise.
"Sullivan, Chandler, these are the friends who wanted to trade."
Dexter introduced them enthusiastically, his expression filled with the hope of brokering a deal.
Matthew Dawson, from the team, took a step forward. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Sean Chandler with a steady gaze, getting straight to the point.
"Mr. Chandler, a pleasure to meet you. Dexter told us you have some special apples that increase Power. Our squad is very interested. Do you know how many you have left? If possible, we’d like to trade for all of them."
