Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills Chapter 137 – Mutual Scamming

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, Zhou Chen woke up early in the guest room of Fortune Inn.

“Time waits for no man. I have to obtain that white jade token as soon as possible.”

The moment he woke up, he began his plan to obtain the white jade token. This was because obtaining the white jade token was his first priority.

“The first step is to go to the money shop to get the template.”

He quickly left the Fortune Inn and went to a large money shop in Sword Furnace City to exchange for an ingot of gold with 102 taels of silver.

After obtaining the gold ingot, he returned to his room and began to work.

He took out a piece of tree bark paper and a quill. With the quill in his hand, he used his soul power to engrave the pattern of gold ingot on the paper, which was to make the gold ingot card.

The so-called gold ingot card was an item card that could be turned into gold ingots. According to his practice last night, he had no problem making such a small item card.

After a while, the gold ingots in Zhou Chen's hand increased from one to three. One of them was exchanged from the money shop, and the other two were transformed from a gold ingot card.

“This magic card is truly magical. Before the soul power is exhausted, the items it changes into are almost no different from real ones.”

The two materialized gold ingots were exactly the same as the real gold ingot in terms of color and texture. He could even burn them into gold liquid.

Unless the time limit was up, they would remain as gold ingots and not change back to a card.

“There should not be many people in this world who can differentiate this fake thing. After all, there are no Card Creators in this world…”

Zhou Chen felt that the standard of this fake gold ingot was high enough. As long as he did not encounter any experts with mystical abilities, ordinary businessmen would definitely not be able to tell.

“Hehe, when I'm done, I'll scam the Golden Jade Hall.”

Zhou Chen continued to work energetically to create the gold ingots. Because his level was limited, he could only engrave two gold ingots on each card, and could not use one card to complete all the gold ingots. This caused the cards to be wasted, but there was no other way. His current level of card crafting was only at this level.

About an hour later, Zhou Chen finished making six gold ingot cards. Each card could be changed to two gold ingots for about three hours.

“I don't think it will be a good idea to go to the Golden Jade Hall…”

Before setting off to cheat others, Zhou Chen changed his mind because the people from the Golden Jade Hall had seen him and knew that he knew Young Master Lin. If he scammed them, it would only lead to some unnecessary trouble later on.

“I have to look for another place. Better if it is some place that allows anonymous identity.”

Zhou Chen spent some time thinking about this. He could not be impatient.

Therefore, for the rest of the day, he searched for various channels to buy the white jade token in Sword Furnace City. At the same time, he collected information about the cultivation techniques of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect.

After asking around, he realized that there were actually many types of cultivation techniques in the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect. Most of the disciples cultivated middle-grade sword arts, and only core disciples could cultivate those few high-grade sword arts.

“Core disciples of the large sects, I wonder how strong they are…”

Zhou Chen planned to obtain a high-grade cultivation technique from these core disciples, but he could not act rashly because he did not know their strength yet, and he had to consider the consequences.

“It's best to kill them around the end of the Survival mission.”

Considering that it would be very dangerous for him to provoke these large sects, Zhou Chen decided he would make a move before the Survival mission ended. This way, he only needed to survive for a short period.

“However, all of this is based on the ideal situation. Currently, I haven't even seen a core disciple of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect, and I'm not sure if I can defeat them.”

In order to achieve his goal, Zhou Chen had many things to do.

“If only I could obtain a suitable cultivation technique in the White Jade Capital. According to what I heard yesterday, this is not impossible.”

The information Zhou Chen gathered yesterday showed that there was indeed a chance of obtaining a cultivation technique in the White Jade Capital. Moreover, they were usually high-grade.

Zhou Chen spent the day busying himself again. He searched everywhere for information he wanted and only returned to the Fortune Inn to rest late at night.

On the morning of the third day, he left Sword Furnace City early and went to another city fifty kilometers away: Gold River City.

The reason why he went to Gold River City was because he heard that there was a shop that sold white jade tokens every day. Their price was relatively low. The price was fixed at 1,000 silver taels, and buyers were allowed to wear masks to hide their identity, it was very suitable for his current situation.

“It will be you then.”

Zhou Chen did not have any objections to scamming merchants. In fact, if not for the fact that he needed to move around frequently in Sword Furnace City, he would have scammed the people in Sword Furnace City.

Time slowly passed until the morning of the fourth day. When Zhou Chen returned from the Gold River City overnight, not only did he have a white jade token that emitted a strange light, but he also had a low-grade cultivation technique that could conceal himself: Shadow Kill Art.

[Shadow Kill

Type: Low-grade cultivation technique

Cultivating this skill can allow you to hide in the darkness like a fish in water. When you are initiated into it, you can awaken the Shadow Elemental True Energy. At the partial mastery stage, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Expert. At the full mastery stage, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Master.]

The store he went to in Gold River City did not have good intentions. They sold the real thing, the price was only 1,000 silver taels, and they even allowed customers to wear masks to hide their identity. However, when he finished buying the white jade token and left, he quickly realized through the Bloodthirst passive skill that he was being followed by a few people who could hide in the darkness.

These people followed him out of Gold River City and prepared to kill him outside the city.

Zhou Chen spent some effort to finish them off. After interrogating one of them, he confirmed that they were sent by the store. It was to take the gold and silver of foreign customers and then seize the goods back to sell them again.

“I didn't expect to scam a tourist trap. My luck is really good.”

Zhou Chen was very happy to see this result.

As the saying goes, those who cheat others will be cheated. When those scammers realize that they did not manage to take back their white jade token and instead see the ten gold ingots turn into paper cards, Zhou Chen wondered how wonderful their expressions would be.

“The acquisition of the white jade token went really smoothly. I had originally planned to earn money or find someone who bought the token to snatch it. In the end, the basic skills of a Card Creator was enough to achieve my goal.”

After this experience, Zhou Chen felt that the Card Creator class was really a good choice. Although this profession did not have much combat strength at the moment, it was surprisingly useful to solve some problems.
