After a man and two beasts finished eating, they had a good sleep under the sun.

They only slowly woke up in the afternoon.

If outsiders were here, they would definitely curse when they saw how carefree they were.

One had to know that ever since Klein forged the Endless Sword, the strength of the monsters in the crypt creatures had doubled.

This caused most people to instantly return to their original state of having a bad life in the catacombs world.

The crypt creatures that could be easily dealt with now had to fight with their lives on the line.

Therefore, under such circumstances, how could they enjoy life?

They could only work hard every day to explore, find equipment, and increase their strength!

...

Klein smacked his lips, drank a mouthful of fruit juice, and opened the trading hall.

He didn't forget his goal.

The problem with the strength of the two beasts was getting bigger and bigger.

Even if he ate the scorpion meat this time and increased his basic circumference, it would be difficult to provide Klein with more help in the subsequent battles!

This problem was very big.

This was because the crypt creatures Klein would encounter next were too powerful.

Just as the system said, if Little Wind and Little Fox could keep up with Klein's pace, then Klein wouldn't be in such a sorry state against the three crypt creatures this time.

Putting everything aside, Little Fox could pin down the Harpy in the sky by herself, and Little Wind could cooperate with him to easily take down the Armored Scorpion.

After waiting for a few seconds, the exchange hall opened. Klein browsed through the items in the exchange hall.

The exchange hall was divided into the items such as weapons, equipment, materials, and potions.

Klein didn't lack weapons, but he still opened it to take a look, wanting to understand the situation.

After opening them, countless weapons entered Klein's sight.

Klein slowly looked down.

Most of these weapons were perfect. Occasionally, he would see one or two rare weapons.

However, the difference in price was huge.

These weapons didn't catch Klein's eye at all. Putting everything aside, if he used rare weapons, he might not even be able to break through the defense of the Armored Scorpion.

As Klein slid down, he saw one or two epic weapons.

Their attributes weren't bad, but to the current Klein, they were still of little value.

Although the Endless Sword had lost its rating, its power was still not something that these epic weapons could compare to.

Then, Klein looked at the equipment section.

The equipment section was for items other than weapons, such as clothes, armguards, shoes, necklaces, and so on.

Klein scanned the items one by one to see if there was any suitable equipment for him.

The equipment in front of him was of too low a level.

It didn't give Klein much of a boost, and the price was very expensive. It wasn't worth it to buy it.

Just as Klein was about to close the interface, an epic necklace suddenly appeared in the exchange hall.

It seemed like the necklace had just appeared.

There were very few necklaces in the catacombs world, and Klein hadn't seen many of them.

This was especially true for epic necklaces.

Necklaces mainly provided attribute enhancements, although their practicality was lower than other equipment.

However, once one encountered a good attribute, it would greatly enhance a person.

Therefore, Klein opened the necklace out of curiosity and looked at its attributes.

[Name: Timaeus of Wisdom Necklace (Epic)(Highest Grade)]

[Magic Defense: +500]

[Intelligence: +45]

[Spirit: +112]

[Toughness: 5%]

[Characteristics: Enhances All Magic Attacks By 10%]

[Characteristic 2: Magic Recovery Speed+10%]

[Remarks: The exclusive necklace of the Wise Timaeus was destroyed due to an accident. This necklace also disappeared. I wonder how many years have passed before it appeared?]

...

Looking at the attributes of the necklace, Klein couldn't help but be stunned.

What a powerful attribute. It was even better than his Rogue Archer's Half-High Boots!

Needless to say, magic defense was mainly to increase Klein's resistance to magic. Anyone who knew this would understand.

But toughness was different.

Toughness, in other words, increased the wearer's resistance to all states.

Once this attribute was high, it could reduce the time for the enemy to confine, immobilize, and stun Klein.

As for magic attacks, there was no need to mention it.

Klein's main offensive method was magic attacks.

An increase of ten percent might not seem like much, but it depended on who it was.

Take the half-step natural disaster tornado spell that Klein had recently researched for example.

It was already a very terrifying wind spell. If it was increased by 10%, its power would be even more terrifying.

For example, if an ordinary person's wind spell attack was 100 points, then this necklace could only increase the wind spell attack by 10 points.

And if Klein's wind spell attack was 1,000 points, then it could increase the spell attack by 100 points.

If he were to use it on a half-step natural disaster, this destruction-level spell would increase its power by 10%. Its might wouldn't be as simple as 10 or 100 points. It would be at least tens of thousands!

Therefore, how could Klein not be tempted by this attribute?

In addition, it would take a lot of effort for a half-step natural disaster to advance to the complete power of a natural disaster. Therefore, if he could increase the power of a half-step natural disaster by a little, it would increase Klein's strength by a lot.

As for the speed of magic recovery, there was no need to mention it.

By speeding up the recovery of magic, Klein could continue casting magic without worrying about the rapid depletion of magic.

In particular, Klein's current magic reserves had already liquefied, so his magic reserves were huge. Furthermore, his recovery speed was also very fast. If he were to increase it by 10%... That speed would allow Klein to fight a prolonged battle.

After looking at it carefully, Klein made up his mind. He definitely had to take this necklace.

With this necklace, he could increase his strength by at least three levels.

Then, Klein looked at the other party's demand.

The other party's first demand was for souls. It was 500 souls.

Klein couldn't afford that price. He only had more than 200 souls in his possession.

Thankfully, Klein had many good items in his possession, so he wasn't afraid that the other party wouldn't be tempted.

Therefore, Klein found James in the world rankings based on the information left behind by the trader. Then, he opened a private chat and sent an edited message over.

"I'm very satisfied with your necklace, but I don't have enough souls in my possession. If you need anything, we can barter for it."

James didn't seem to have gone offline. When he saw Klein's question, he immediately replied.

He just didn't expect that the person who had looked for him was the strongest person in the catacombs world, Big Boss Klein.

After taking a closer look, his heart slowed down by half a beat. He took a few deep breaths before he calmed down and replied.

"You are Big Boss Klein?"
