Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1190

As Black read through the requirements, he blinked a couple of times.

'Huh...'

"That's actually pretty fucking easy! Won't even take an hour! Why is the tenth task so easy? Actually, I think I know why. There's no suggested design. The others probably have to design one of these alien Formation Arrays from the ground up. For them, this is probably one of the most difficult tasks to fulfill, but if you've been designing traditional Formation Arrays, hitting these numbers isn't hard. The third task was harder than this."

'Actually, this tenth trial is an amazing opportunity for me!' he thought as Black smirked a bit.

Kyle's three Avatars gathered their things and left the Workshop. As soon as he left, several people paid attention to him. By now, there was almost nobody left who had seen him during his first visits.

Kyle walked towards the great hall, and even though nobody looked at him, he could feel that they were all paying close attention to him. Almost all of them were thinking of the same thing, but nobody wanted to take the first step due to his identity as an outsider.

They had to work together against the outsiders. If they initiated friendly contact, their companions might ostracize them as well.

Kyle looked through the hall for a bit before summoning a Space Ring.

"Eight sets of materials for the fourth task. I'm willing to sell them for Grade Nine Energy Stones. Bidding happens privately. Send me your offer. The highest bidder wins unless I'm not happy with the price."

Almost immediately, the atmosphere in the room changed.

"Do you not have any shame? Find someone privately instead of making such a public announcement! Do you think you're some big shot?"

"Nobody cares!"

"Look at the outsider trying to sell some materials. We don't need them!"

"You think this is a marketplace? Leave!"

Most of the people in the room chuckled, sneered, or shouted. They were a unit, and they would not betray their people for some materials.

Of course, several people who were stuck at the fourth task were interested. These materials were exceptionally important to them. However, if they bought the materials, everyone would notice since the Space Ring had to enter their Soul Space or pockets.

Kyle remained silent as everyone kept making fun of him.

"No buyers," Kyle said after a minute as he exchanged the Space Ring for a different one.

"Next, four sets of materials for the fifth task."

"Can you shut up?! Read the room! Nobody wants to trade with you!"

"So what if you're at the tenth task?! The tenth task is the hardest! You'll fail like almost everyone else! That doesn't make you special!"

"Fuck off!"

Kyle waited.

"No buyers," he said as he exchanged the Space Ring again.

"Next, ten sets of materials for the sixth task."

"Can someone report this guy? He's obviously making a scene!"

"Yeah, we're here to learn and exchange knowledge! This guy is disturbing us!"

"Someone get a Sound Isolation Formation Array! I don't want to hear his stupid voice anymore!"

Another minute of humiliation passed.

"Sold!" Kyle shouted.

"What? Sold?! Who bought from this ingrate?!"

"Who's the traitor?!"

A moment later, three Grade Nine Energy Stones appeared in front of Black before the Space Ring floated to a lonely guy near a corner.

"Traitor!"

"You have no backbone!"

"Spineless opportunist!"

The lonely guy gritted his teeth in discomfort and frustration.

"Nobody's going to trade with you anymore!"

"Good luck getting through the Screening without our help!"

"I'm not here to make friends!" the lonely guy shouted. "I'm here to get through the Screening! I won't let pride stop me from taking advantage of a good opportunity!"

Then, the lonely guy ran back to his Workshop, leaving everyone else in the hall.
